Hi John,
I wanted to praise God for the things He did this past weekend.There was so much that God said and did, and let us feel.I felt “authority” this weekend, from Jesus.It was wonderful.
There was one thing that you said that has really blessed me as I pondered over it the past couple days. This is a quote from the DVD:
“I’ve prayed many a time over the years, especially when people were sick, “God where is your power?” And I couldn’t pray that prayer after this past Wednesday night. Since then, I found myself praying and really pleading with God, “God, where is your authority and how do we get under it? Where are you exercising your authority? Where is your kingdom? Where are you reigning?” Because the kingdom of God is not a “thing”. It’s a “who”. It’s the reign of God. It’s the expression of his authority. It’s where things are right. That’s the kingdom of God. There is nothing wrong in the kingdom of God. (You can try to drag something wrong into it, but He will not have it, and you will be cast out with it.) Where is your kingdom, God? Lord, take us to that “who”. Which direction do we bow? Where is Christ sitting? Where is his throne, Lord? Help us be in your order. Where is your authority? Exercise it here, among us.”
Wherever HE is, Whatever HE feels, Whatever HE does, praise God, I can feel my heart wanting it… That’s what I have been praying yesterday and today. Find the “who”, then everything is in order.

Hi Gary:
Let’s pray until we are set free from wanting the good things of the kingdom of God. Anybody can want; the whole world wants. But those who find favor with God are so blessed that they can shout, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
