January is an exciting month.
The new year brings with it a fresh start and revived purpose to accomplish our dreams and fulfill our purpose.
Actually, God’s Word has a lot to say about this.
Do you have a war room?
A lot has been written about war rooms, and prayer journals have become a popular thing since the hit movie War Room came out.
This excites me because there are no more powerful weapons than God’s Word and prayer.
But when you combine them?
Praying God’s Word is atomic warfare against the enemy. He doesn’t hope to stand against a believer who stands with confident faith while praying the Word of God.
So as 2017 gets off to a new start, why not fill your war room wall or journal with verses of encouragement for this new year?
