Charles Stanley - The Believer's War Room

Prayer is critical, but does it matter where you pray? Having a spot set aside for conversation with God, even if it’s just a corner of your room, is key for winning your spiritual battles. If you want to hear God’s voice and have His help in the fight, discover how a specific place to pray can make all the difference.

What are we to do with our trials, heartaches, and burdens? Although many people try to bear them on their own, Jesus has given us the solution in a passage from His Sermon on the Mount. He says to go into an inner room, close the door, and pray to our Father in heaven. All of us need to learn how to talk to the Lord in private about whatever concerns us. And sometimes that inner room becomes our war room as we fight our battles with sin, conflicts, decisions, and difficulties until we fully surrender in obedience to our God.

According to Ephesians 6:10-13, believers are in a struggle—not with people—but against rulers, powers, world forces of darkness, and spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places. Because spiritual battles require divine protection, we are told to put on the full armor of God.
