I had the pleasure of going to see the movie, War Room<\/em> yesterday. If there is any way you can make your way to a theater this weekend to view this movie, I would encourage you to do so.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"CC\"<\/a>In War Room<\/em>, there is a call for prayer warriors to make space and time in their lives to go to their personal war room, get on your knees and pray. I know, from personal experience, the transformation that will take place when we seek God\u2019s face in the midst of our busy lives. So if I know this transformation, why wouldn\u2019t I want to ask God to show up in the lives of my family, my friends and my neighbors?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you remember this verse of Scripture? \u201cIf my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.\u201d <\/em>(2 Chronicles 7:14 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We, who are called by the name of the Lord and Jesus Christ, are called to follow these steps:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 1 – Humble ourselves<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 2 – Pray<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 3 – Seek God\u2019s face<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 4 – Turn from our wicked ways<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When we\u2019ve done these four things, God says He will:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#1 – Hear from heaven<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#2 – Forgive their sin<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#3 – Heal their land<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In my younger years, this verse of Scripture was put to music. I still recall the music and can recite the words because of that song. But until I actually follow the steps listed, there will be no hearing, forgiving or healing. It is my greatest desire to do these four things. I pray that you have the desire to join me on this journey.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the things I enjoyed about this movie was the practical steps given to move us toward prayer. You can look forward to a blog next week that will share some of these ideas. But until then, spend some time with God. Just do it. He is waiting for you.<\/p>\n

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n
