I will remember the works of the Lord : surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. Psalms 77:11‭-‬14 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.77.11-14.KJV

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Luke 18:1 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/luk.18.1.KJV

Day 3 of War Room Playlist. This is the written version if you can’t see the video or no subtitles if you can’t hear it.

Jesus said, “We ought to pray and not to faint” (Luke 18:1). He told us to be persistent in our prayer life.

Think about Elijah, who prayed one time and fire came down from heaven on Mt. Carmel. But it took him praying three times before God resurrected the dead son of the widow. And Elijah prayed seven times before God sent back rain on the earth during that time of drought.

Elijah learned to pray and trust God’s timing … and don’t give up.

In Christian history, we also think about George Muller, who lived a life that was one of the greatest demonstrations of answered prayer. When he died, he had 50,000 documented answers to prayer!

Five thousand of those were answered on the day he prayed them. Of course, that means 90 percent of the time, George Muller just kept waiting and praying. He prayed for 63 years for one man to come to Christ before that man ended up doing so!

Like Elijah, George Muller learned that we can trust the Lord. He said, “Don’t let yesterday’s seemingly unanswered prayers stop you from praying in faith today.”

So I want to encourage you: pray! God knows His perfect timing. He may answer right after you pray. He may wait weeks, months, or even years. He will wait until He is most glorified in your situation … so don’t give up. You can wait on the Lord and trust His timing. Keep on praying.

Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. Psalms 51:9‭-‬13 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.51.9-13.KJV

Day 2 of War Room:

When it comes to having an effective prayer quiet time, you should always begin by reading the Word of God. Then, when you begin to pray, I’d recommend using the ACTS method—an acronym to help keep your prayer time focused. ACTS stands for:

Adoration
Confession
Thanksgiving
Supplication

We start our prayer time in Adoration—loving and worshiping God, adoring Him for who He is. We don’t just love Him for what He does, but rather for who He is. Since He is God, He is the One that receives our worship, our adoration.

The C stands for Confession. Scripture talks about being right with God: “Create in me a clean heart …” (Psalm 51:10). If there is something you need to get right with God then confess it, ask Him to forgive you, and to commit to not repeating the same mistakes over and over.

The T stands for Thanksgiving. This is when you take time to reflect on all that God has done for you and you respond by showing your thankfulness. God says that when His people are thankful to Him, this is a form of worship that moves the heart of God.

The S stands for Supplication. This is when you present your requests to the Lord.

That is ACTS: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication. I encourage you to apply this the next time you are in your prayer time. By using this to guide your prayer time, you will take your prayer life deeper. May God bless you as you seek Him.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 2 Corinthians 10:3‭-‬4 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/2co.10.3-4.KJV

Day 1 of War Room:

Our new movie WAR ROOM is about the power of prayer and building prayer strategies. Why is a prayer strategy important? Because we have a very real enemy that wants to stay hidden from you but at the same time, he wants to distract, deceive, and divide you from seeking the Lord and from building healthy relationships with your spouse, children, or other people.

We have to learn how to fight in prayer. It’s interesting when you look at Scripture, Joshua would pray first before engaging in a battle. For example, before attempting to conquer Jericho, he sought the Lord first.

Esther, before going into the king, a decision that could have taken her life because she was not invited before the king, asked the people to spend three days fasting and praying first.

Before Jesus chose His disciples, He spent time in prayer first.

What does that tell us? Before you engage in an issue, a battle, or whatever your problems are, spend time in prayer first. Go to your war room—your prayer closet—and seek the Lord.

When you commit to prayer and you seek God first, you are going before the One that knows the solution and can help you through any circumstance.

So how do we fight? We fight in prayer, first seeking in our war room the One who can handle anything. Trust Him, keep your faith in Him, and go to war in prayer.
