War Room Page #5

to the real enemy.

The real enemy?

The one that wants to remain hidden.

The one that wants to distract you

and deceive you and divide you

from the Lord and your husband!

You see, that's how he works.

Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy.

And he is stealing your joy.

He is killing your faith

and he's trying to destroy your family.

If I were you,

I would get my heart right with God.

And you need to do

your fighting in prayer!

And you need to kick the real enemy

out of your home with the word of God.

It's time for you to fight, Elizabeth.

It's time for you to fight

for your marriage!

It's time for you to fight

the real enemy!

It's time for you

to take off the gloves and do it!

There's no magic

in the location you pray.

But scripture does say to go

into your inner room and pray in secret.

And your heavenly Father, who sees

what's done in secret, will reward you.

Now get rid of any distractions

and focus your heart and mind on Him.

Acknowledge that He is God,

and that you desperately need Him.

Now, be grateful for your blessings,

but lift your needs and requests to Him.

If you've got something to confess,

then confess it.

Ask Him for forgiveness.

Then choose to believe Him

when He says that He loves you

and will take care of you.

Then pray for the heart of your husband,

your daughter and anyone else

that the Lord brings to your mind.

And don't rush it.

You take your time, and then you listen.

God...

God, I need you.

I know I haven't prayed like I should.

I know that I haven't...

I haven't followed you like I should.

But I need you, right now.

Lord, I've been so angry at Tony,

and I'm still so angry at him.

But I don't want to lose my marriage.

Lord, forgive me.

Forgive me.

I'm not his judge, you are.

But I'm asking you, please,

please don't let him do this.

Take over.

Please, take over.

Take my heart and take all this anger.

Help him love me again.

And help me love him.

If he's doing something wrong,

don't let him get away with it.

Stand in his way.

I'm asking you, please,

to help me.

"The thief comes only to steal

"to kill and destroy.

"But I've come that you may have a life,

and have it abundantly."

"But the Lord is faithful.

"He will strengthen

and protect you from the evil one.

"Submit to God.

"Resist the devil,

"and he will flee."

"Submit to God.

"Resist the devil, and he will flee."

"Submit to God.

"Resist the devil,

"and he will flee."

I don't know where you are, Devil,

but I know you can hear me.

You have played with my mind

and had your way long enough.

No more.

You are done!

Jesus is the Lord of this house.

And that means there's no place

for you here anymore.

So take your lies, your schemes

and your accusations,

and get out in Jesus' name!

You can't have my marriage.

You can't have my daughter.

And you sure can't have my man.

This house is under new management

and that means you are out!

And another thing.

I am so sick of you stealing my joy,

but that's changing, too.

My joy doesn't come from my friends.

It doesn't come from my job.

It doesn't even come from my husband.

My joy is found in Jesus.

And just in case you forgot,

he has already defeated you.

So go back to Hell where you belong

and leave my family alone.

You know what I'd really like right now?

Tell me.

A glass of my favorite wine.

Okay, we can do that. What is it?

It's not here.

It's at my apartment.

Well, if it's your favorite,

I'd like to try it.

Here you are, sir.

Hope you both have a wonderful evening.

Thank you. We will.

Veronica, listen.

I need a minute. All right?

I'll be right back.

Okay.

Mom?

Danielle?

What happened to your closet?

I'm doing something

I should've done a long time ago.

I'm learning how to pray

and fight

and trust.

By cleaning out your closet?

No. Well, yes. But no.

I mean, it needed to be cleaned out.

But that's not why I did it. I did it...

I did it to fight in prayer.

You're fighting God?

No, I'm not...

Well, sometimes I do fight God.

But I shouldn't 'cause He always wins.

So, you know, I'm praying

for God to fight for me

'cause I am just sick of losing.

But not against God.

I need to lose against God.

I'm sick of losing in other areas

where I'm just fighting

but I just keep losing all the time.

It's exhausting.

So I'm learning how not to fight God

and how to let Him fight for me

so that we can all win.

Does that make any sense?

No.

You know what?

I don't make much sense when I'm tired.

You must be really tired.

Let's just go get a late night snack.

Okay? And I'll try it again.

Okay.

Now see, you're already influencing

your daughter.

This can change everything for her.

I admit, when I first started praying in there,

10 minutes seemed like an eternity.

Now I have a hard time

even wanting to leave.

Hello.

I just need you to sign

for this package.

Thank you so much.

This is a present for my daughter.

I can't wait to give it to her.

Well, I hope it takes your breath away.

Have a nice day, ma'am.

- I like it. And you got one, too?

- Yep, I sure did.

And you can write your prayer requests

in there, your favorite verses.

- We can journal, anything we want.

- Hey, Daddy.

- Hey, Danielle.

- Hey.

I didn't think you were coming home

till tonight.

Yeah. I finished up everything

pretty early, so...

- You got enough for me?

- Sure.

Jennifer's mom is coming

to pick Danielle up in a few minutes,

- but you and I can eat.

- All right.

- I'll take my stuff to the room.

- All right.

- Hey, how are you?

- I'm good. How are you?

You and the girls hanging out today?

Yeah. We're gonna go to the park

for a couple hours,

and then I thought we could grab

a milkshake at Chick-fil-A's, if that's okay?

So, what's been going on here?

Well, I sold another house on Tuesday.

And I already told you

about getting held up, so...

Yeah, look, about that.

It's not that I didn't care.

I just got really busy,

so when I saw

that you were all right...

I understand. It's all right.

I'm sorry for getting so worked up about it.

You're sorry?

Yeah. I knew you were at work,

probably in a meeting.

I should've just waited

till later to bring it up.

My mind was just racing,

so I took it out on you.

But you know what?

I really think it was good for Danielle.

I think it helped her to realize how important

it is to be aware of who's around you, so...

You want hot sauce?

- Yeah, that's fine.

- You want mild or Wrath of God?

I don't want Wrath of God.

Let me have the other one.

What do you want, Liz?

- You mean, right now?

- Yeah.

Well, I would kill for

a hot fudge sundae.

Just

fudge everywhere.

And two scoops of ice cream,

Cookies and Cream.

Whipped cream. Just mounds,

mounds of whipped cream on top.

And one cherry. One cherry.

And my feet are killing me.

Man, I would love a foot rub.

Liz, I'm not rubbing your feet.

Okay.

Well, you wanna pray?

Yeah.

God, we thank you for this food.
