119. How to Carry Jesus' Presence & Pray with Authority in Your Classroom
Kingdom Educators with Jesica GloverShow Notes
What does it look like to pray with Jesus instead of for Him to move? In this episode, we continue our prayer focus with a deeper look at spiritual authority—what it means to partner with Christ’s victory, stay seated in heavenly places, and carry His transforming presence right into your classroom. You’ll hear:
The difference between praying from victory versus for victory How to recognize the authority you’ve been given in Christ Practical ways to release peace, healing, and breakthrough over your classroom and school Scriptures to strengthen your confidence in prayer and identity
Together, let’s remember: you are not striving to bring Jesus into your school—He’s already there, living and moving through you. Scripture Highlights:
“I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ... may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation so that you may know Him better.” – Ephesians 1:17 “You are the head and not the tail.” – Deuteronomy 28:13 “Lift up your heads, you gates... that the King of glory may come in.” – Psalm 24:7 “We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” – 2 Corinthians 10:5

Together, we’ll slow down with Scripture and explore Jesus’ invitation to bring Him what we’re carrying, receive His care, and take our next faithful step with Him. In this episode, we explore:
What does staying connected to Jesus actually look like when students need you and your plans unravel?

In this episode of The Connected Educator: Abiding in Jesus, Teaching from His Victory, we bring abiding into three everyday classroom moments and explore practical ways to receive His wisdom, remember what is true, and respond with Him. We’ll explore:
What would change if you walked into school already secure in how deeply you are loved? Friend, you know Jesus loves you.

In this first full episode of The Connected Educator: Abiding in Jesus, Teaching from His Victory, we slow down with John 15:1–17 and explore Jesus’ invitation to remain in Him, receive His love, and draw from His life throughout our teaching day.
