Whether money, prestige, position, or fame, power backs and applauds the world's movement. Militarily, educationally, etc. power is....well....powerful.
The once dead and now alive Jesus crushed such a dynamic into continued power failure. It was Henri Nouwen who wrote, Our world is ruled by diabolic powers that divide and destroy. In and through the powerless Jesus, God disarmed these powers.
It is Jesus who wrecks the assumed positions of strength and ushers in an entirely new system called God's kingdom. Our lives are not to waver in the ups and downs of economic reports or military threats. Ours is a walk of confidence even when encountering the fiercest of storms. Jesus has spoken. The Sea of Intranquility has been shooshed.
Blessed are the gentle. Blessed are those who mourn. Blessed are the poor in spirit. Jesus sneered with irreverence at the big, the flashy, and the bold who mock the selfless, as well as surrendering nature of God Himself.
Might it be possible you need to be reminded that assumed worldly power has failed? Jesus gripped it and ripped it.
Awaken to the wonder of walking in the Holy Spirit of God. He is the one who will do the undoable and discover the undiscoverable and accomplish the unaccomplishable....within us...Eph. 3:20-21.
Believe it. There is a power failure on earth....and it isn't God's kingdom.
