The power of spiritual authority flows directly from our union with Jesus. What He received as the exalted Man, He shares with His Body - the Church. This isn't just theological theory; it's practical power available to every believer. Yet many of us live far below our privileges, simply because we lack revelation of this profound connection.

When we grasp that we're God's chosen vehicle for expressing Jesus' fullness in the earthly realm, everything changes. Our prayers take on new authority, our resistance against darkness becomes more effective, and our impact in the world increases dramatically.

This authority isn't just about power - it's about position. We've been strategically positioned with Christ in heavenly places, giving us direct access to God's throne. From this position, our prayers aligned with His will can release extraordinary power.
