“Paul is basically asking that God would give the Ephesian believers some power. But what kind of power is Paul referring to? He’s talking about power to no longer allow your circumstances to own you. He’s talking about the power to deal with a losing-heart situation. He’s talking to weak people who need to be strengthened because of what they are going through.” (source)
“Kingdom prayer is the established mechanism to advance God’s kingdom agenda on earth by accessing His authority in heaven and drawing it down. In this way, His rule is advanced in history.” (source)
“If you want the full power and promises of God’s presence, you will have to get close and go deep in your relationship with Him.” (source)
“Yet prayer is powerful. Kingdom prayer is the divinely authorized methodology to access heavenly authority for earthly intervention. Such prayer is earth giving heaven permission to intervene in the reality down here with the manifestation of the spiritual reality up there. That is a definition few of us really grasp. God is waiting to be involved in our activities and yet because we were given freedom He does not force Himself on our situations. He waits for us to ask—to connect with Him in prayer.” (source)
“I want us to look at the spirit behind prayer, the DNA of what makes it work—things like faith, alignment, authority, surrender, obedience, tenacity, trust, and love. These are the ingredients of effective prayer. And effective prayer is what you and I need because we are in a battle, in the midst of a spiritual battle between good and evil. And prayer is our primary weapon for victory.” (source)
