The power of God is unmistakable, dear ahayes.

Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. - Matt 22:29

But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. - I Cor 1:24

That is why Peter's being first to receive the revelation that Jesus Christ is Lord is so important:

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. - Matt 16:17

Those who call themselves "Christian" but have never received that first revelation are just fooling themselves, they are "gritting their teeth."

As for the ones who have received that first revelation, they need no explanation --- and the others would not accept it anyway.

Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word. - John 8:43

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life. - John 6:63

The ones Christ was addressing in John 8 were physically hearing Him (sound or pressure waves) but they were not spiritually hearing Him.

So many people speaking for many different Gods say, my question is how do we tell which God is the true God? Which revelation is the true revelation? You say that your revelation is the true revelation because you've felt it so deeply, but those who have not experienced your revelation are not convinced (some of them have their own revelations which they've felt deeply). If you don't have a way to distinguish your revelation from theirs, you're essentially saying, "I believe it because it's mine!", which doesn't really help anyone else. You're basing your opinion on what absolute truth is on a subjective experience not shared by most people. It's a rather gnostic position to take.
