Jesus Is Talking About Prayer

In verse seven of John 16, Jesus tells his disciples that he is going away. He then explains how they will no longer be able to ask for anything in my name. In the same breath, he goes on to talk about prayer as a pathway back to god's original plan. To pray means we enter into jesu's status in god's favor and invoke jesus as standing with god. God calls you a co manager of heaven walking around here on earth.
