War Room (2015) Edit

A closet?

A hot fudge sundae.

About $19,000.

Acknowledge that He is God, and that you desperately need Him.

Actually, I'm not gonna read it.

After 31 years of stalemates, girl, it just is not worth it.

After you've had an argument with your husband.

All I know is, you can fight against your wife and probably hold your own.

All right, here we go. Turn. And we turn...

All right, man, you good, yo. I'm about to bounce.

All right, okay. Bye.

All right, thank you.

All right, then I'll accept it.

All right.

All right.

And

And a few tears, too.

And a plan to fight against them.

And another thing. I don't have proof of this,

And ask you to bless him as he honors you and to expose him if he walks in deceit.

And because I love Jesus, I'm staying right here.

And clean out any items that belong to you.

And don't rush it.

And give me another chance.

And God showed me that it wasn't my job to do the heavy lifting. No.

And God surely knows the difference between the two, and so should we.

And had your way long enough.

And he is stealing your joy.

And He rose from the grave and offers forgiveness and salvation

And here's 5 extra 'cause I like your haircut.

And how much we gonna spend on what the Lord can do about it?

And how to let Him fight for me so that we can all win.

And I admire it, I really do. I just...

And I could write more, but you'll get the gist of it when you read it.

And I kept pushing it back and pushing it back until it was too late.

And I love this fireplace.

And I needed somebody to wake me up

And I realized that I have not passed on what I had learned.

And I was wondering if you could recommend a couple of nice restaurants.

And I'll be glad to bring some over.

And I'll be looking forward to that next article.

And I'm not supporting someone who's too lazy to work.

And I'm reminded that God is still in control.

And I've lived here almost 50 years.

And in second place, it was so close! Let's hear it for the Comets!

And it just shows that I left them with you.

And knock out some chores before lunch, all right'? Okay.

And listen, just stay right there,

And my sister needs it more than your parents do.

And now our Double Dutch Citywide Champions for this year,

And one cherry. One cherry.

And pants around their knees.

And that is what a holy God gives us when we don't repent and believe in His Son.

And that the life we're given should never be taken for granted.

And then I really started studying what the scriptures say.

And then we should probably talk about the asking price.

And then we should probably talk about the asking price.

And then you can turn your focus to the real enemy.

And there's no grief as great as denying the truth until it's too late.

And this asking price is just fine.

And this thing is so handy.

And throw a super spiritual smile on their face and impress God.

And two scoops of ice cream, Cookies and Cream.

And we'll talk about it then? Say 10:00?

And what did she do with her clothes?

And when things aren't going so well, I look back on it,

And where did you say you attended church?

And you decide to thank us by taking even more for yourself?

And you don't have to step on the same land mines that I did.

And you got a nice bonus check coming your way.

And you have children?

And you need to kick the real enemy out of your home with the word of God.

Aren't you a little too old to be jumping rope?

As far as my faith is concerned, I believe in God, just like most people.

At least you get a break for the summer, right?

Baby. You have an A in everything else.

Ballgame!

Be it money, control or matters of the heart,

Because I've been where you are.

Because if you want to give them what you make, that's fine.

Because people still come to church

Because victories don't come by accident.

Behind the field of battle, someone has developed a strategy.

Better means ball hog?

Built in 1905.

But Coleman says he wants two days to think about it.

But he's a sales rep for Brightwell Pharmaceuticals.

But I bet that you never feel like you've won

But I don't know how to fix it.

But I finished the closet. That was in the refrigerator.

But I just keep losing all the time.

But I need you to forgive me.

But I see in you a warrior

But I still hold on to the many lessons I learned from that time.

But I will respect whatever decision you make.

But I'll be fine just as long as I don't fall on my face.

But I've decided not to prosecute.

But in order for this family to function, we have to communicate.

But it freed me.

But it got me nowhere.

But it wasn't. It's pretty difficult.

But nobody likes it lukewarm, not even the Lord.

But not against God. I need to lose against God.

But one thing has remained true of every war.

But that's where grace comes in!

But the Lord only gave us Clyde, 'cause he was all I could handle.

But the question still remains. Do you deserve grace?

But there are days, Mandy. There are days.

But they think they could put on their Sunday best,

But we all still want God's forgiveness.

But why do you feel the need to examine my personal life?

But you apparently have time to fight losing battles with your husband.

But you know what?

By the way, what's your most favorite room?

Can I ask you how much you pray for your husband?

Can we please just eat dinner?

Can we talk about this later?

Can't do nothing with my phone but call folks.

Charles pastored the same church for 35 years.

Charles, what are you doing?

Come on, we can go to my room.

Cynthia actually agreed to meet with me on a regular basis.

Danielle, I have to meet a client in the morning,

Darren is not a bum.

Devil, you just got your butt kicked!

Do I just back off and choose to forgive and then just let him walk all over me?

Do you deserve grace?

Do you realize we could have you prosecuted for this?

Does he ever get tired of the travel?

Does that make any sense?

Don't tell anybody I was eating chips in this closet.

Dr. Morris, yes. I'm Tony Jordan, Brightwell Pharmaceuticals.

Dude, I can't get a pass from you. It'd be easier to baptize a cat.

Dude, I went in the wrong line of work.

Dude, what's up with you and Liz?

Dude, you remember that one lady who had swallowed that garlic and she choked,

Elizabeth,

Elizabeth,

Elizabeth,

Elizabeth,

Elizabeth, please forgive me for being so direct,

Every couple has some friction every now and then.

Excuse me.

Feel free to call me back at this number.

First off, I don't want any grief from you. Okay?

For riches,

For rights or for freedom.

Forgive me, Jesus.

Forgiveness?

From our savings into your checking account.

Fudge everywhere.

Gentlemen, we'll be in touch.

Girl, go set the table for dinner.

Give me another one, Lord.

God is looking for people who will seek him with a whole heart.

God...

Good. Good.

Gosh. You would be closer to home.

Great.

Guide me to who You want me to help.

He acts like an enemy to me.

He gives us grace!

He had just been promoted to captain before that picture was taken.

He said he would only do it if Mom did it with him,

He was so handsome in that uniform.

He's fine, ain't he?

He's not here. It's not like he would care anyway.

He's very important to me.

Hello, Tony.

Help me to love him, and give him a fresh love for me.

Here you go.

Here you go.

Hey, Daddy.

Hey, Danielle.

Hey, Danielle. Where's Daddy?

Hey, listen, I'll be coming through town next week

Hey, Mom, I gotta go. Yeah.

Hey, somebody need to come move this.

Hey, Tony, man. You gotta hit me one.

Hey, you enjoy it, okay?

Hey. Hey.

His money became your money the minute he said, I do.

Honey. Honey, I gotta be in Knoxville at 2:00.

How did you know that?

Huh, Danielle? You ain't seen nothing yet, Liz.

I already did my chores, and it's okay with her parents.

I already told you, baby, a C is not that bad. It's okay.

I always felt pushed to the back burner while the military took first place in his life.

I am so sick of you stealing my joy, but that's changing, too.

I am so sorry. You must be Elizabeth Jordan.

I appreciate you coming this morning.

I asked God to forgive me,

I bet you gonna tell me

I call it my war room.

I can have all the chips I want! This is my house!

I can teach you how to fight the right way with the right weapons.

I can't imagine how much your prayers and your passion for God

I did it to fight in prayer.

I don't do CPR, Mike. I'd have just called 911.

I don't even like my sister.

I don't have time to pray that much every day.

I don't know that I would say it's hot.

I don't know what to do.

I don't want Wrath of God. Let me have the other one.

I don't want you to quit on me, Liz.

I enjoy coming here. And your daughter is precious.

I find myself amazed that of the many battles we engage in today,

I got my last report card. I made all A's except for one C.

I got to put my coffee pot on. Can I get you something?

I guess I'll be seeing you again when I return in two weeks.

I had to forgive Leo for some things, and it wasn't easy.

I just heard him pull in, Danielle.

I just needed to blow off a little steam. Okay?

I know this is unexpected, but I wondered if you might give me a few minutes to talk.

I know, Danielle. I just needed to take my shoes off for a minute.

I know, Ms. Clara. But that's just so hard to do.

I look forward to it.

I love this room.

I love this room.

I mean, we're like most people. We have full schedules. We work.

I pray for unity among those that love You.

I pray these things with all my heart!

I ran a sales report from the area.

I saw your write up on new stimulants and you showed interest in Predizim.

I see you made the sale.

I should just calm down.

I still got one C.

I think it's time for me to show you my favorite place in this house.

I think so, too.

I thought you were playing basketball.

I thought you'd be here this week.

I understand that, but that's their decision.

I understand.

I understand. My husband does the same thing. Pharmaceuticals.

I wanted to jump rope again.

I was a little sneaky last time.

I was reminded that death is a part of life,

I wish my wife would pray for me like that.

I would love to stay. I'm very sorry I have to leave.

I wouldn't put up with it.

I wrote down a suggested asking price for the house.

I'd like to come by and show you some comparisons in the area.

I'd like to think about our other discussion.

I'll be your contact for the purchase.

I'll let you all catch up.

I'll tell you in a minute, okay? How was dinner?

I'll tell you tomorrow.

I'm an old woman now.

I'm asking for one month's rent and a car payment.

I'm fine, thank you.

I'm going to the gym.

I'm having trouble calming down myself.

I'm in here, Danielle.

I'm learning how to pray

I'm not his judge, you are.

I'm not hot, but I'm not cold either. Just, you know, somewhere in the middle.

I'm not just gonna watch your marriage die.

I'm out of town this week.

I'm ready to go. You hear me?

I'm sick of losing in other areas where I'm just fighting

I'm so proud of you for everything that you've done.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry about this.

I'm sorry, baby, I ran out of foot powder.

I'm sorry, Ms. Clara. I just get so wound up the more I think about it.

I'm sorry?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. We just started packing.

I'm tired of seeing all these young boys with sloppy hair

I'm Tony Jordan.

I've been meaning to get me one of those.

I've got a lot of good memories in here.

If there's one thing we do well, it's fight.

If you go get the ice cream and let your mother walk me to the car,

If you will give me one hour a week,

In light of all these wrongs, does God still love Tony?

In third place this year, let's hear it for the Super Skippers!

Is that because your pastor only preaches occasionally?

Is that your feet?

It doesn't come from my job.

It encourages me.

It was hilarious.

It was my job to seek Him, to trust Him and to stand on His word.

It's at my apartment.

It's been 40 years since Leo passed,

It's been a part of humanity in every age.

It's exhausting.

It's getting harder to negotiate these stairs.

It's good.

It's hard to submit to a man like that.

It's my sitting room.

It's no problem. You'll easily find them. It's the third shelf, blue caps.

It's not looking good for you.

It's not that I didn't care.

It's on that folder you're holding in your hand.

It's time for you to fight for your marriage!

It's time for you to fight, Elizabeth.

It's tough being a woman.

Jason and David, get rid of the ball and help me with these boxes!

Jesus,

Just

Just be careful, Elizabeth.

Just one?

Left, left, right.

Left, left, right.

Leo added that sun porch on the back all by himself.

Let me get you a hot cup of coffee.

Listen, if you're available tomorrow,

Listen, you guys stay put.

Liz, this was the most awkward thing I've ever done.

Liz, we know this place so well. You know?

Liz, why should I practice for a competition when I might be in jail?

Look, I can't even remember the last time he had a job.

Look, I've already lost my job.

Look, tell you what. Let me think about it, okay?

Looks like a flat.

Lord, call us to battle,

Lord, I pray for Tony, that you would turn his heart back to you.

Lot of laughter.

Man!

Mom! Can we go get ice cream?

Mom?

Most guys run out with their tail between their legs.

Ms. Clara, I really would like to help you sell your house.

Ms. Clara, I've never seen anything like this.

Ms. Clara, if I did that, I'd be writing a long time.

Ms. Clara, my husband, Tony, and I have been married for 16 years.

Ms. Clara, would you like some ice cream?

Ms. Clara, you like your coffee room temperature?

Ms. Williams?

Must be a dumb phone.

Must have meant to your husband.

My parents are elderly. Okay?

My selfish pride!

My wife can answer everything about the house.

Next up is the Mustangs!

No problem. Can I help you with that?

No way.

No, I do not.

No, I don't think you do.

No, I'm not...

No, sir.

No, thank you. I had mine at home.

No, we'll talk about it now.

No.

No. No, I don't.

Now get rid of any distractions and focus your heart and mind on Him.

Now see, you're already influencing your daughter.

Now there's 5, 10, 15, 20.

Now this is why I'm moving in with Clyde a few blocks away.

Now what I need you to do though, is just sign this receipt.

Now, if anything's off on that, don't...

Now, if there was one thing in your life that you could make better,

Now, this is my third favorite place.

Now, this is where I do my fighting.

Now, what did you say your husband did for a living?

Now, you say you attend church occasionally.

Oh, yes!

Okay, but I want you home by lunch tomorrow. Okay?

Okay, here we go. Here we go. Okay. Okay.

Okay, so three bedrooms and two full baths.

Okay! I'm in there!

Okay? We can start back in a little bit.

Okay.

Okay. Can we pick up Jennifer on the way?

Okay. So, I think I got everything that I need for now.

Okay. So, I've got a few questions about utilities,

Okay. Well, Veronica Drake,

One C in math is not that bad.

One, two, three.

Other than that, I read a lot and I spend time with Jesus.

People always leaving Jesus out.

People drink their coffee hot or cold,

Plus, I could use the closet space.

Point taken, Ms. Clara.

Raise them up, Lord! Raise them up!

Raise them up, Lord. Raise them up.

Right.

She enjoys pop music and ice cream and jumping rope.

She used to say that sometimes submission is learning to duck

Since you're good with the asking price, I'll go ahead and list the house.

So I just left you a case in your samples closet.

So I should make it to 180.

So I'd give it to my sister anyway.

So I'm going to drop you off early at the community center, okay?

So I'm learning how not to fight God

So I'm ready to accept whatever decision you make.

So it all comes down to this. We either seek Him or we don't.

So nice to meet you, Ms. Clara.

So when I saw that you were all right...

So you don't move a cent out of that account without asking me first.

So you would say you know the Lord.

So, I just got a notification that you moved $5,000

So, I told my dad that he could jump with us, and he totally started laughing.

So, if I asked you what your prayer life was like,

So, you wrote prayers for each area of your life?

So? You know that means I play better.

So...

Someone that I could teach to fight the right way.

Submit to God.

Sure, if it's okay with her mother.

Take care.

Take my heart and take all this anger.

Thank you, Ms. Clara. I hope you have a good day.

Thank you.

That a retired pastor from Texas and his wife wanna buy my house.

That better not be so you can prop up your sister again.

That makes it easier for us.

That needs to be awakened.

That smells terrible!

That was a hard time for me and our son.

That was Clyde.

That was God's grace toward us.

That was last year.

That was something that only He could do.

That will not cower, Lord, when others fall away!

That's a waste of time.

That's fantastic. I appreciate that.

That's just cold. You just gonna let somebody die?

That's Leo.

That's me.

That's my dad! That's my dad!

That's my Wall of Remembrance.

That's right. That was her prayer closet. How did you know that?

That's why I'm here.

That's, like, awful.

The favor of God can't be bought, traded or manipulated.

The last time I checked, we both put money into that account.

The neighborhood is so great because it's established.

The one that wants to remain hidden.

Then begin putting together the resources

Then I look forward to tomorrow.

Then she starts squeaking 'cause she couldn't breathe.

Then why are you struggling?

There always seems to be something to fight for.

There's no magic in the location you pray.

They say if you live in a house with stairs, you'll live longer.

They were my battle plan to pray for my family.

This has meant more to me than you know.

This is a beautiful house.

This is beautiful.

This is fascinating, Ms. Clara.

This is for the woman I don't deserve.

This must be Leo.

This was part of my husband's role in the army.

To kill and destroy.

To win any battle,

Told you!

Tony, are you willing to sign a statement?

Tony, help me, please!

Tony, I know you're the company's top salesman,

Tony, I love you.

Tony, that was grace!

Tony, you should go see her practice tomorrow. She's really very good.

Tony!

Until a heart attack claimed his life.

Veronica, listen.

Veronica, this is Tony Jordan.

Watch this.

We both know he does.

We don't fight that much anymore.

We have one daughter. Her name is Danielle and she's 10.

We met a few days ago after I met with Mr. Barnes.

We met last March.

We need an army of believers, Lord,

We realize it's a disaster and we've agreed to blame it on the kids.

We were married for 14 years before he died.

Welcome to the Double Dutch Citywide Championship.

Well, come on in here. Let me show you the dining room.

Well, come on in. Let me show you the house.

Well, don’t just sit there looking at them.

Well, good morning.

Well, I couldn't have been a paramedic.

Well, I sold another house on Tuesday.

Well, I would kill for

Well, I'd probably have to say my marriage.

Well, if my man said that to me, I'd be angry, too.

Well, if you want to continue to live in this house, I have to make sales.

Well, is he trying at all?

Well, let me get our coffee.

Well, now you've got to teach other people to seek the Lord.

Well, sometimes I do fight God.

Well, tell your mama I said hello. And I'll see you next week.

Well, that's good to know.

Well, very little.

Well, we actually haven't talked about that,

Well, we occasionally attend Riverdale Community.

Well, we're excited to do business with you, Tony.

Well, what do you think?

Well, what'd he say?

Well, why don't you come by for coffee tomorrow morning

What are our colors?

What if it was your wife?

What land mines do you think I might step on?

What's that smell?

Whatever the consequence.

When did Mama do this to her closet?

When He says that He loves you and will take care of you.

When I fought against my husband,

When were you gonna tell me?

When you see the type of man I've become?

When your daddy gets home, you can show him your report card. Okay?

Where did you get these?

Which, of course, she would never do.

While we on the subject of Tony, I have something for you to do.

Whipped cream. Just mounds, mounds of whipped cream on top.

Who's Jennifer?

Who's my new coach?

Who's ready for an awesome day?

Why are you eating chips in the closet?

Why don't you ask your dad about helping us get uniforms?

Why don't you give me a hand and rub them right there?

Why would you do that

Will he be mad about my C?

With their hearts totally distant from the Lord.

Would you say that it was hot or cold?

Wow!

Yeah, but I got a huge sugar rush from all that ice cream.

Yeah. I knew you were at work, probably in a meeting.

Yeah. I will.

Yeah. Maybe 25.

Yes, it is. Yes, it is.

Yes, we wanted five or six children,

Yes! G0!

Yes! I would say I know the Lord.

You can call me Clara.

You can hit the gym all you want to, bro.

You can just use the third shelf down and just leave the door open,

You can start with that.

You do not want World War Ill to break out in your home.

You got one of those smart phones.

You got that right.

You gotta believe that.

You just gave that much money to your family last month.

You know what? Go ahead.

You know, there are days I wish she had a brother or sister.

You look like you're playing a little mad tonight.

You must be Elizabeth.

You must be Mr. Jordan.

You see that big crack over there on the wall?

You see, that's how he works.

You tell me.

You think the Lord is okay with this asking price?

You weren't just padding your numbers,

You will find some of my favorite scriptures in here.

You, too.

You'd think he'd be more alarmed.

You'll hear from me by then.

You'll see.

You're a talented guy, Tony.

You're not gonna let somebody die in front of you while you eat your salad.

You've done it again, Lord.

You've got to have the right strategy and resources,

Your sister married a bum,

A man wears his pants around his waist. Yes, ma'am.

All right. Sounds good. We'll see you again. Right.

Come on, man. I gotta go. Dude, I just told all these guys. Just one.

Do you know what he wants? He didn't say.

Do you mind if I take some pictures? Go ahead, that's fine.

Elizabeth. Thank you.

He's just having a hard time finding a job. Liz, he is a bum.

Hey, Danielle, are you nervous? Very.

Hey, Danielle! Nice to meet you.

Hey, tell Coleman I said hello. I'll do it.

I am. And you're Melissa? Yes.

I couldn't have done it. Yeah. You could do it.

I like that. Yeah, you do.

I love hardwood floors. And you know what I found?

I remember. How are you? I’m doing fine.

I take it that was your sister. Yep.

It is her fault. Tony, she cannot control him.

Julia, how're you doing? I’m doing well, thanks.

Mr. Jordan? Yes.

Of course. I’m impressed.

Okay. Thanks, Ms. Jordan. All right.

Real estate agent. Software rep.

Rick. Tony.

Right this way. All right.

Samples closet? Yes, please.

So, I'll call you later. Love you!

Thank you. My pleasure.

Two days? Yes.

Well, can't you do that outside? Yes.

Well, I hope you're done. I gotta go.

What do you do in here? Mainly sit.

What is that? What's what?

Yeah, we've already decided to do that. Very good.

Yeah? Yeah.

Yes, ma'am. All right.

Yes, ma'am. Thank you. You're welcome.

You all right, dog? Yeah. Why?

You got it? I do.

You're terrible. Yeah.

and I'll come back and get it later. All right. Thank you.

but you and I can eat. All right.

I've got cream or sugar if you need it. No, thank you. I like it black.

L will. All right.
