The following comes from a Prophet, General, and Man of God so read carefully, Pray about it and apply it to your life.
RELATIONSHIP -> REVELATION -> AUTHORITY -> POWER Before he was John the Revelator, he was John the Beloved. Before he was caught up into Heaven on the Lord’s day, he laid his head on the Lord’s breast.
John’s power was a result of the authority he received from the Christ. His revelation was a result of his relationship with the Christ. That authentic revelation was revealed through authentic power.
There is a vulnerability in the Church today caused by a lack of authenticity. We have lost the element of surprise – that is, that unique manifestation of power demonstrated by the Christ - as we attempt to establish His Kingdom in the earth. This element of surprise comes from our authenticity; our authenticity comes from knowing our true identity; our true identity comes from truly knowing our Father. In essence, we must truly become Sons of God.
Sadly, there is very little authentic power evident in the Church today. There is more emphasis on the spectacular than the supernatural. There is more concern about how many people are sitting in the seats than there is about setting those same people free from the things that bind them. This is a product of insecure leaders who build churches full of co-dependent people. These co-dependent people, in turn, feed the insecure leaders. And the cycle continues.
In order to find our true identity in the Father, it must first begin with relationship. That relationship will lead to revelation, and the authority you receive and operate in will release power. The supernatural power demonstrated by those with authority will validate the authenticity of who they are and identify them rightly in the earth, as Sons of the Most High God.
The earth is waiting …

Wow Chase, yeah that's so true about the church. Most have no power and are very insecure and more concerned about how things look. Also, I agree there's no element of surpise when yeah it's all about show and not about the supernatural. Well, at least some of us like the element of surprise. lol ;) Hopefully someday yeah our power will show who we really are...
Yeah, if you can pray a friend of mine who actually may be gifted in some supernatural areas, was suppose to be in the hospital for a month and seems to have disappeared so please pray his dad finds him and he's ok and the guy who hurt him didnt' find him again. Thanks...
