Prayer Sets It In Motion

Main message: Prayer, especially intercession, aligns us with Jesus—who is seated at the Father's right hand interceding—and because we are seated with Christ in heavenly places, prayer connects us to His victorious activity and sets things in motion.

Key points:

• Jesus is currently seated at the right hand of the Father making intercession.
• When we pray and intercede we enter into communion and alignment with Jesus.
• Ephesians teaches that believers are seated in heavenly places with Christ, reframing the posture of prayer.
• The power of prayer lies in being joined to the One who is always winning, not merely in our own ability.
• The enemy opposes prayer because it aligns us with Christ’s victory; prayer initiates and advances God’s work even as we act.
