Out now
At the beginning of January the film ‘War Room’ became
available in the UK. It has been out in
the US for some months and I had heard it was coming - I saw a short trailer on
YouTube.
A few days ago I watched the DVD, and I would encourage you
to watch it too. I don’t want to spoil
the storyline for you, but . . .
First priority
‘War room’ refers to the prayer room a lady has in her
home. A recurring question in the film
is, ‘how do you fight your battles?’ Do we tackle them in prayer? Or do we try and work them out ourselves
somehow? The film presents the challenge
of making prayer the first priority - taking real, everyday situations to God
in prayer and seeking His solution to them.

Watch and share
Why not get a copy of the film, watch it yourself, and then
think who you could show it to? It lasts
about 2 hours, so could be watched in a mid-week homegroup meeting.
But the main thing is not just watching it, but building the
Biblical principles into our lives.
“But when you pray, go
to your room, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your
Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you.” Matthew 6:6
If you’re like me, you need reminders to keep prayer in the right
place, to have times of focussed prayer, as well as allowing prayer to be that
constant theme running through life.
