Ephesians 6:18 “Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. When you enter into prayer, you are entering into your own war room, wherever that might be. I recall the account where David prayed but only received an answer three weeks later (Dan 10:13) due to spiritual warfare, even though Daniel’s prayer was immediately heard (Dan 10:12). Maybe it’s because we’re in a spiritual battle and aren’t wrestling against a physical enemy that can be seen. When I pray, it seems the phone rings, the dog barks, the doorbell goes off, the…etc., etc. I begin the day with prayer and end the day with prayer, sandwiched in between are Bible readings, but for me, it’s hard work. ![]() Maybe it’s easy for you but I have a hard time when I enter into prayer. Ephesians 6:12 “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward” (Matt 6:5). For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. It is just as Jesus said: “when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. ![]() God will reward those things openly that are asked for in private so there is every possibility that every open prayer has already been rewarded. Jesus is contrasting those who pray publically and already have their reward and that is the accolades or admiration of men and the secret prayers where it’s only you and God. This might be the main theme as found in a Bible verse for the movie War Room. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” Matthew 6:6 “But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret.
