Prayer Sets It In Motion

Main message: Prayer aligns believers with Jesus—who is interceding from the Father's right hand—and by praying we enter heavenly communion and participate in the victory he is already securing. Prayer doesn't replace action but it initiates and empowers what follows.

Key points:

• Jesus is currently seated at the Father's right hand making intercession; when we intercede we align with him.
• Ephesians teaches believers are seated with Christ in heavenly places, changing how we view prayer.
• Prayer is communion with the Son and connects us to the One who is always winning.
• The enemy opposes prayer and downplays its effectiveness.
• Prayer sets things in motion, even as we still do the necessary work.
