4 out of 5 stars ****
The movie, War Room: Prayer Is A Powerful Weapon, inspires this book by Stephen and Alex Kendrick to instruct the reader on how and when to pray. Many people do not take advantage of the open, free channel they have with the One who is the solution to any problem. The authors also describe why one prays in the first place.
This book goes over all the names for God in the Bible and what they mean as well as monikers for Jesus. How to prepare for prayer and for what to pray includes introspection with repentance, asking for forgiveness, praising God for who He is and what He does; then requesting His blessings for oneself and others. Others include those who refuse to accept God or Jesus and those who are hateful and evil, especially toward those who do believe and are saved.
The battle plan calls for reading the Bible and applying scriptures to issues that confront people daily. Asking God for wisdom is paramount to proceed in a moral, ethical way. It prevents rashness and folly. Asking God for wisdom is a most wise prayer; ask Solomon.The Battle Plan for Prayer: From Basic Training to Targeted Strategies, directs the reader to Proverbs for a book on wisdom.
This book wants readers to know God and make Him known. Through a plan of prayer, a person becomes a better representative of God through Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit who resides in the born again individual. Prayer keeps one in communion with the Creator who is with everyone, forever. He is here, now.
