Foundations of Spiritual Authority | Rick Joyner (2002)

In this timeless 2002 message, Rick Joyner establishes the foundations of true spiritual authority—not as something to be appropriated or self-promoted, but as something rooted in humility, love, and relationship. With years of ministry experience and biblical revelation, Rick shares how true authority is born of trust, forged in love, and sustained in obedience to God—not through charisma, gifts, or self-promotion. This message is a prophetic call to return to the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. If you've ever struggled with knowing your place in ministry, how to grow in prophetic authority, or how to avoid the pitfalls of ambition and offense, this teaching will both ground and challenge you. It's not about building our own name, but about glorifying His. It's not about being heard, but about building what God is building. And without love, we have no true authority. This is a word that every Christian, and especially every prophetic voice, needs to hear today.
