I got to see a special screening of the new movie War Room. The movie is about a family with the common day struggles of every day life. It challenges Christians to go into their pray closets and allow God to fight their battles for them. What is unique about this movie is it even gives prayer strategies in how to take authority in Jesus name over the enemy and pray boldly for your family and others.
Spiritually, this movie is very timely for a generation of believers who have forgotten how to pray and take prayer for granted. Prayer is the life blood of the believer and my prayer is people of this generation would take the mantle of prayer and run with it as they pass the prayer mantle to others. Others need to be coached or shown how to pray boldly and how to keep a prayer journal or write down one's prayers to truly see and remember what God is actually doing in your midst.
I enjoyed the movie and like most Christian movies, when people do things God way, things turn around or have a happy ending. I would like to see a smaller narrative that shows a Christian family following Christ and still have struggles and what happens when you don't see answer to your prayers? What does discipleship look like in the dark night of the soul or in a spiritual desert?
