Welcome to Episode 10 of our Ephesians podcast series. In this episode, David Christensen continues Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1:19b-21, turning our attention to one of the most encouraging realities of the Christian life: prayer connects us to the power of God by faith in Christ.
Paul piles word upon word to describe the magnitude of God’s power, power that raised Jesus from the dead, seated Him at the Father’s right hand, and placed Him far above every rule, authority, power, and dominion. This is not abstract theology. It is resurrection power, present power, and victorious power, made available to believers through prayer.
This episode reminds us that we do not pray to get power. We pray so that our eyes are opened to know the power that is already ours in Christ. When we understand who reigns and where He reigns, from the physical world to the spiritual and supernatural realms, fear loosens its grip and confidence grows.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How prayer connects believers to God’s resurrection power
- Why Christ has absolute authority over death and evil
- What Paul means by power, working, strength, and might
- How prayer engages the spiritual realm without fear
- Why confidence in Christ grows when we see who is truly in control
If you feel powerless in the face of suffering, opposition, or spiritual struggle, this message offers deep hope. Jesus reigns. Prayer connects us to His power and that changes everything.
