War Room Scriptures Strategy for Your War Room Prayer
Having a dedicated space for prayer such as a prayer closet, war room, or prayer room can help you deepen your prayer life. Learn what war room prayer is and how to start your very own war room prayer wall, a war room binder, or simply a prayer strategy.
What is War Room Prayer?
Christians often use the term “war room prayer” in reference to spiritual warfare, which is clearly taught in Scripture. War room prayer involves putting on the armor of God (see Ephesians 6:10-11), using spiritual weapons to demolish spiritual strongholds (see 2 Corinthians 10:4-5) and praying for protection against our spiritual enemy (see 1 Peter 5:8-9). It is vitally important for us as believers to remember that there is spiritual warfare going on all around us so that we can be fully equipped to stand firm on the truths of God’s Word.
While we do need to be at peace with all men as much as it depends on us (Rom. 12:18), we cannot ignore the fact that an enemy is seeking to devour as many as he possibly can. When we talk in terms of war, we are not talking about people being our enemy. We are referring to the devil and spiritual forces of darkness that seek to deceive, kill, and destroy (John 10:10).
How do you start a Prayer Room?
In Matthew 6:6, Jesus told us that when you pray, “go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.”
Based on this verse, many people use a prayer closet, otherwise known as a war room or a war closet. Having a prayer room in which to pray was the inspiration behind the movie, The War Room, which sparked a fire for many to develop our own War Room prayer strategy.
While having a space in your home dedicated to prayer may sound nice, many of us don’t have space for a prayer closet or war room! In this post I’ll share tips for setting up a war room prayer journal or prayer binder, as well as my favorite warfare prayers and Scriptures to help you set up your own prayer War Room.

What is a War Room Binder?
A war room binder is a place for you to write down both Scriptures to pray and your prayers based on those Scriptures. The weapons at our disposal are strong enough to demolish strongholds so a prayer binder is where you take up arms consistently and intentionally. It’s a place for creating a prayer strategyand recording answers to prayers as well.
