Ephesians 1:15-20

15 For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints (the people of God),

16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers.

Therefore He is able also to save to the uttermost (completely, perfectly, finally, and for all time and eternity) those who come to God through Him, since He is always living to make petition to God and intercede with Him and intervene for them. Hebrews 7:25

We are now one with Jesus and Jesus ever lives to intercede for us so that we might be saved to the uttermost. So we too live to intercede for people, we do this because we are part of Jesus’ body and the body has the same purpose as its Head. This is why we never cease to pray for others, it is what we have been grafted into Jesus to do. It is one of the greatest reasons that we are alive, it is why Jesus is alive, to serve. We forgive sins and they are forgiven. We lay hands on the sick and they recover. We ask and receive. We do all of this because we are one with Jesus and this is what He does.

17 [For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him,

This is a great example of how we should pray for others. We should pray for our brothers and sisters to have wisdom and revelation. Pray for the gift of prophesy for others and yourself. Pray that we have a deep and complete understanding of all things. Go for the gusto in your prayers for others. Desire that the body has it all, nothing lacking, full and complete glory and perfection in Christ on this earth and on this day. Just read what the Holy Spirit has Paul pray for us to have in the following verses. We have the same Spirit within us causing us to desire the same things. We are going to study later in Ephesians that our Fathers’ will is that He does more than we can pray for, ask for, dream of, and even believe for and He does it all by His power that is within us, Ephesians 3:20. So pray away and through the power of the Holy Spirit ask away and ask for all that the Spirit brings to your mind. 

18 By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones),

Pray that people see that they are called and that they are called to greatness and pray that they receive the revelation of the peace that goes with it.

19 And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength,

Desire to see all that our Father is. Fully expect to see things that pass all human understanding. Hope to see the dead raised, the lame walk, the blind see, and the most despicable person to be set free. Eagerly desire Spiritual gifts. 

20 Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places],
