You Don't Lack Power, You Lack the Revelation of What You Carry

🗣️  I KNOW WHAT I CARRY  if this teaching landed in your spirit today. You are not waiting for power to arrive- it is already inside you. You are not a beggar at the gate.


 You have never lacked power. Not for a single day since the moment you were born again. Not in your weakest moment. 

 Not in your darkest hour. Not when the circumstances seemed immovable and heaven felt distant. Not when the enemy pressed hardest and your strength felt  thinnest. 

  You have never, not once, been without power. And yet most believers live as though power is something they are still waiting to receive, something they must earn through enough prayer, enough fasting, enough consecration, enough spiritual striving. 

  They approach God as though the supply line is somewhere in the future. As though the day will finally come when they are equipped enough, consecrated enough, worthy enough for the power to arrive. 

 And while they wait, the enemy advances in territories he has no legal right to occupy. While they petition heaven for what heaven already released, darkness operates freely in their bodies, their finances, their minds, their families.

   While they beg for the very thing already living inside them, they remain powerless. Not because power was withheld, but because revelation was never received. 

  This is the crisis of the modern church. Not a power shortage, but a revelation shortage.

     I remember sitting with a pastor once, a man who had been in ministry for over 20 years. He had built a congregation from nothing. He had seen God move. He had prayed for the sick and watched people recover. And yet he sat across from me in genuine confusion and said, "I feel like I am running on empty. like whatever power I had at the beginning has been slowly draining away and I do not know how to get it back. And as he talked, I realized the problem immediately. He did not understand what he was carrying. He thought power was something that came and went, something that rose and fell depending on his spiritual state, something that had to be maintained through religious performance. He had 20 years of ministry experience and almost no revelation of what actually lived inside him. That is the condition we identified in new creation realities with a precision I have never seen matched anywhere else. 

¶NoteThe greatest tragedy in the body of Christ is not that believers lack what they need. It is that they do not know what they already have. They are spiritual billionaires living like beggars. They are heirs of God's kingdom standing at the gates of their own inheritance asking to be let in. They have the answer living inside them and are still searching for it on the outside. 

  And this is not a peripheral problem. This is the central problem because everything in the Christian life flows from revelation

  Every bold declaration, every healing enforced, every enemy resisted, every mountain that moves, all of it is rooted in what you know about what you carry. 

  So the question is not whether God has equipped you. He has. The question is whether you have seen it, whether revelation has moved what is true in scripture from information in your mind into living  reality in your spirit. 

    Because there is a vast distance between knowing something and truly knowing it. There is a distance between reading that Christ lives in you and actually living from that reality. 

   There is a distance between reading Ephesians chapter 1 and walking in the consciousness of what Ephesians chapter 1 declares about you. 

     And most believers spend their entire Christian life on the wrong side of that distance. 

    Second Peter 1:3. according as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness through the knowledge of HIM that hath called us to glory and virtue. 

    All things, not some things, not the things you have prayed long enough for, not the things reserved for the especially consecrated. 

  AlI things pertaining to life and godliness have  already been given. Past tense, completed transaction. 

   The supply is not coming. It is already in the account. 

  But notice the phrase governing the entire verse. 

   Through the knowledge of HIM, not through the striving for HIM. Not through the performance before HIM. 

   Through the knowledge of him, revelation. Seeing HIM clearly enough that what he has done becomes real to you. Because the moment you truly see what has already been given, you stop asking for it and start using it. 

  The moment revelation arrives, the posture of the believer shifts entirely. 

   You are no longer at the gate asking permission    to enter. You are already inside moving in the authority of the One who purchased your access. 

    Today we are going to show you exactly what you are carrying, why most believers never see it, and what happens the moment revelation finally lands. 

    Starting with the most important prayer in the New Testament and what it tells us about why most believers are still waiting for what they already possess. 

Apostle Paul understood this problem with stunning precision. He did not write the church at Ephesus to introduce them to new doctrine. He wrote to them because they were already saved, already filled with the spirit, already in Christ, and still not walking in the fullness of what they possessed. This is what makes Ephesians one of the most revealing prayers in all of scripture. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened that ye may know what is the hope of his calling and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints

Notice what brother Paul is praying for. He is not praying for them to receive more. He is not asking God to dispatch additional resources from heaven. He is not interceding for a fresh outpouring or a new wave of the spirit. He is praying for them to see what they already have.

   Eyes of understanding enlightened, not new resources deposited, not additional blessings dispatched. The opening of the eyes of the inner man so that what is already theirs becomes visible to them. 

   Brother Paul is praying that they would see their inheritance, not that they would be given one. They already have one. The entire prayer is about perception, not provision. This is where the church has missed it generation after generation. 

  We have turned a revelation problem into a resource problem. We have assumed that the reason believers do not walk in power is that God has not yet given them enough. So we pray for more. We fast for more. We cry out for more. And heaven  responds the way a father responds to a child asking for something already placed in their hands. Not with judgment, but with a quiet redirection. 

   Open your eyes. It is already there. The word know in Ephesians 1:8 is the Greek word ido. It means to see, to perceive, to have full and complete vision of something. Brother Paul is not praying that they would accumulate more theological information. 

  He is praying for experiential sight. The kind of knowing that changes how you walk. The kind of knowing that makes you dangerous to the kingdom of darkness. 

  Because you are no longer operating from assumption. You are operating from revelation

  And what is brothe Paul praying they would see? He tells us exactly in verse 19. And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us ward who believe

   Power already directed toward believers, already flowing toward those who believe, not coming, already present to us, ward, in your direction, already oriented toward you, already engaged in your life, already active in your situation. 

   But here is where this passage goes somewhere most teachers never take it. 

Apostle Paul does not simply say power. He uses four distinct Greek words in verses 19 and 20 to describe it. 

  Dunamis, inherent ability, explosive force. 

   Eneria, active working energy, not potential but actual. 

 Kattosdominion, ruling strength. 

  Issues, might that overcomes resistance.

 Four words.  Because no single word contains the magnitude of what God has directed toward the believer. Brother Paul is saying there is a concentration of divine force operating in your direction that human vocabulary cannot fully express. 

   And then verse 20 sets the standard for this power, which HE wrought in Christ when HE raised him, Jesus Christ from the dead. Not a healing, not a miracle, not a deliverance. The standard saint Paul sets for the power operating toward you is the resurrection of Christ from the dead. 

  The same force that pulled a dead body out of a sealed tomb and transformed it into a glorified resurrection body. That is the power, he says is already directed toward you. Not as a theological statement you mentally agree with, but as a living reality you operate from daily. 

    Now consider what this means for the way most Christians actually live. 

    They wake up carrying resurrection power and ask God for strength to get through the day. 

    They face a doctor's report contradicting the Word of God and instead of standing in the power that already conquered death, they beg heaven to do something. 

   They walk into spiritual conflict with the full backing of the same force that harrowed hell and rose on the third day and they tremble with fear. 

  Not because the power is insufficient, but because the revelation is absent. 

Note:  In new creation realities that the believer who does not know what he carries is like a soldier entering battle without knowing he has a weapon. The weapon is in him, but because he has never been shown it, he fights with his bare hands and wonders why the enemy is not retreating. The enemy is not retreating because the enemy knows something the believer does not. The enemy knows what is inside you. And his primary strategy, his most consistent, most relentless, most effective strategy is to make absolutely certain you never find out. 

  So if the enemy cannot remove the power inside you, what exactly is his strategy? Because he is not passive. He is not waiting to see what you will  discover. He is actively, consistently, and aggressively working to ensure that you never see what you carry

  And understanding how he does that is one of the most practically important things a believer can grasp. His strategy is not complicated. It is not sophisticated. It does not require extraordinary demonic intelligence. It requires only one thing. Keeping you religious about your power instead of revelatory about it. 

   There is a version of Christianity that talks about the power of God constantly without ever actually walking in it. It sings about it. It preaches about it. 

   And yet the believers inside that version remain weak, fearful, and defeated. Not because the power is absent, but because the revelation never arrived.

   They know the vocabulary. They do not know the reality. And this is precisely the environment the enemy works hardest to maintain. Not overt unbelief, not open rebellion, just religious familiarity where you have heard about the power so many times that you have stopped expecting to actually experience it. 

  I think about the believers I have  encountered who could quote Ephesians 1 :19 perfectly and yet were living in absolute defeat. {and His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength}.  Not because they rejected the verse, it is because they had memorized it without ever receiving it. 

   Information without revelation produces no results in the physical realm. 

¶Note:  In new creation realities that a human can be born again, spirit filled, and doctrinally sound, and stilI live his entire life below the reality of what he possesses simply because he has confused knowing about a truth with knowing the truth itself. 

   And this is where second Peter 1:3 becomes critical. According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness through the knowledge of HIM that hath called us to glory and virtue. 

 The word knowledge there is epignosis, full precise complete knowledge, not casual acquaintance, not information received and stored. The kind of knowing that moves from the head into the spirit and produces a change in how you live. 

   This is the revelation-knowledge through which all things are given. Not head knowledge, but epignosis. And this is the knowledge the enemy fights hardest to prevent because he knows even if you do not, that the moment epignosis arrives, his occupation of territory in your life is over. The moment you stop knowing about the power and start knowing the power, the game changes entirely. 

   Now I want to bring this to Ephesians 1 with even more precision. Verse 21 says, "Christ was raised far above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. far above all principality, far above all power, far above all might and  dominion and every name

   And then Ephesians 2:6 says, "And hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Raised us up together in the same position, at the same elevation, far above every principality and every demonic name that operates against your life." 

   That is not a future promise. That is a present legal reality

   You are not below the enemy fighting upward. You are above the enemy enforcing downward. 

And the moment that revelation lands, the moment you stop seeing yourself as someone being attacked from above and start seeing yourself as someone with legal authority over everything beneath, everything changes. 

¶This is what we described as the new creation reality.

   The believer is not a rehabilitated sinner barely hanging on. The believer is a new species of being created in Christ Jesus, seated in heavenly places, filled with the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, carrying authority,  purchased at Calvary.

   Romans 8 11. But if the spirit of HIM that raised up Jesus Christ from the dead dwelleth in you, He that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through His Spirit that dwelleth in you. 

Dwelleth permanent residence. 

     The same SPIRIT that raised a dead body from a sealed tomb is permanently resident in your recreated human spirit right now. That is what the enemy does not want you to know. 

That is the revelation he has fought for generations to keep from landing in the spirit of the believer.

 Because a believer who knows this is not manageable. A believer who knows this is not afraid of a diagnosis. Not paralyzed by a financial crisis, not intimidated by a spiritual attack, not defeated by circumstances that have no legal authority over a new creation seated in heavenly places

    A believer who knows this knows what he carries. And everything changes the moment you do. 

    Now, here's where this truth moves from the theological into the absolutely practical. Because revelation is not the destination, it is the beginning.

   The moment epicnosis lands, the moment you truly see what you carry, a responsibility comes with it. A responsibility that most believers never fully embrace. 

    Revelation must move from your eyes to your mouth  🗣️, from your spirit to your declaration 🗣️, from what you know internally to what you enforce 🗣️ externally. 

   This is the transition point where most believers stall. They receive the revelation. It lands in their spirit. They feel the weight of it. They know it is true. And then nothing changes. They go back to the same prayer posture, the same defeated confession, the same way of talking about their circumstances, the same way of approaching God as though he has not yet acted on their behalf. 

   And James 1:22 identifies exactly why. But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves, hearers only. Speak 🗣️ the Word.

 The word deceiveth them, not because they reject it, is because they receive it mentally without ever activating it practically. 

They know about the power. 

 They agree with the power. 

They can explain the power. 

But they have never spoken from the power. And unspoken revelation produces no results in the  physical realm.


 ¶ NoteIn new creation realities ,  the new creation was never designed to be passive. It was designed to be vocal, bold, speaking 🗣️ the realities of redemption into the atmosphere with the confidence of someone who knows exactly what they carry. 

  Romans 10:10. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth 👄 confession 🗣️ is made, with the heart 🫀 and with the mouth 👄, not one without the other. 

  Belief in the spirit and confession with the lips, working together as the complete instrument through which the legal realities of redemption become active in the physical realm.

  Proverbs 18 21. Death and life are in the power of the tongue. 

Not in the power of your belief system alone, not in the power of your prayer journal, in the tongue, in the spoken word. 

 Because God's Word does not enforce itself silently. It enforces itself vocally. 🗣️ 

  Hebrews 11:3.  Through faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, spoken, declared, released into the atmosphere. 

   The same principle governs the life of the believer. The power inside you is released through the word  you speak. 

  This is why Psalm 103:20 says, "Angels hearken unto the voice of his word, not the thought of his word, not the feeling of his word, but the voice." Angels respond to spoken declaration.

   Power is transmitted through the believer's mouth. And this is precisely why the enemy fights your confession harder than he fights anything else in your life. 

  He knows that the moment you begin to speak out  🗣️ what you carry, the atmosphere shifts. The moment you open your mouth in alignment with what God has said about you, forces are set in motion that darkness cannot stop. We speak what GOD SPOKE. 

   Picture a river dam holding back an enormous reservoir of water. The water is there, but nothing flows until the gate is opened. Your mouth is the gate. Your declaration is the opening. And the power that has been yours since the day you were born again, all of it waits for the gate to open. It waits for the believer to stop being silent and start being vocal. 🗣️ 

 Romans 12:2. Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. The Greek word metamorphu. The same word used for the transfiguration of Jesus. Not gradual improvement. a complete change of form driven by a change of sight. 

  The renewed mind is the mind that sees what the spirit already knows. The spirit of the born again believer already knows it is righteous. 

 The renewed mind agrees. The spirit already knows it is healed. 

The renewed  mind agrees. The spirit already knows it carries the fullness of Christ. 

  The renewed mind agrees. And when the mind and the spirit come into alignment around what scripture declares, the   believer stops living from the outside in and begins living from the inside out. 

  This is not positive thinking. This is not the power of human optimism. This is covenant law. God spoke and worlds came into existence. He has now placed His Word in your mouth and His SPIRIT in your spirit. And he is waiting not  passively but expectantly for you to speak 🗣️ what HE has spoken. For you to declare what he has declared, for you to enforce what the cross already accomplished. 

  Because when you do, something happens that no natural force can explain and no spiritual enemy can resist. The believer who speaks from revelation is not the same as one who 21:14 spoke from habit. Not because they got louder, but because the sword has been drawn from the mouth of someone who knows what they carry. Not striving, not begging, but speaking, declaring, enforcing. 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 

 So, let me bring everything together with something I want to leave sitting in your spirit long after this teaching is over. You do not lack power. You have never lacked power. Not for a single day, not in a single moment, not in your weakest hour or your darkest season or your most impossible situation. What you have lacked is the revelation of what you carry. And that revelation, that epicnosis is available to you right now, today. Not after more fasting, not after more consecration, not after you have cleaned yourself up enough to deserve it. Right now, because 2 Peter 1:3 already declared it. All things pertaining to life and godliness have already been given through the knowledge of HIM. The supply is not coming. It is already in the account.

   Now I want to give you something practical to walk away with today because revelation without application stays in the realm of information and we have already established that information without declaration produces no results in the physical realm. 

  Here is what this looks like, every single morning before your feet hit the floor, before the phone goes on, before the news, before the demands, before sense knowledge gets the first word. You open your mouth and you declare what you carry. 

You say, 🗣️ : "I am a new creation in Christ Jesus. Old things have passed away. All things have become new. The same SPIRIT that raised Jesus Christ from the dead dwells in me. Greater is HE that is in me than he that is in the world. I am seated in heavenly places.  Far above all principality, all power, all might, all dominion. I carry resurrection power. I carry covenant authority. I carry the legal standing of a son ( daughter ) of God before the throne of heaven. "

  And then you speak to whatever Red Sea is in front of you. Whatever mountain is in ñjjjj way. Whatever report contradicts the word of God over your life, you speak to it with the calm, settled authority of someone who knows what they carry. This is what Kenyon called living from the inside out. Not letting circumstances determine your confession, letting your revelation determine your circumstances. I remember the pastor I told you about at the beginning of this teaching, the man with 20 years of ministry and no revelation of what lived inside him. We spent several hours together over a few days going through exactly what we have covered in this teaching. And I watched something happen in him that I have seen  happen in believers many times over the years. 

  The moment revelation landed, I mean truly landed, not just mentally registered. 

His entire posture changed.  He sat up differently. His voice changed. His eyes changed. He went from describing his emptiness to declaring his fullness.

 Not because his circumstances had changed, it is because he had finally seen what he was carrying

  He called me about 6 weeks later. He said, "I do not know how to explain what has happened, but I have not felt empty once since that day. Not once. I wake up and I declare what the Word says about me, and something in me responds to it like a well that never runs dry. "

That is epicosis at work. That is revelation that has moved from the head into the spirit. That is a believer who finally knows what he carries." 

   Ephesians 3:20. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that workketh in us. According to the power that workketh in us. 

  Not the power dispatched from heaven. 

Not the power available in theory. 

The power that work. Present tense, active tense in us, right now, in you, already working, already active, already more than sufficient for every mountain, every sickness, every assignment of darkness, every impossible situation you will ever face. 

  The only thing standing between where you are and where God has placed you is not more power. It is the sight to see what you already carry and the mouth 👄 🗣️ to declare it. 

  Once you see it, once the revelation truly lands, you will never again approach your life as someone waiting for God to move. You will approach it as someone through whom God is already moving. You will never again beg heaven for what heaven already placed inside you. You will draw from it, speak from it, walk from it, and the world around you, seen and unseen, will  respond to the power of a believer who finally knows what he carries. Confessing 🗣️ : I know what I carry in right now. 

Not as a casual response,  but as a declaration over your own life that the revelation has landed. 

  That from this day forward, you are no longer a spiritual billionaire living like a beggar. You are a new creation seated in heavenly places filled with resurrection power speaking from revelation enforcing the finished work of the cross in every area of your life. You do not lack power. You never have. Now you know what you carry. Go and use it. To the glory of our Father God in heaven, forever and ever. So be it.
