Powerful
In Revelation 6:15, the powerful - also sometimes translated as strong, mighty, or potent - refer to the truths which make up our external minds. They are paired with the commanders of thousands, which are the related good external or natural loves that we have. Note, too, that they are listed after the kings, the great ones, and the rich, which here stand for more interior goods and truths.

Isaiah 26:8-9
8
Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
9
With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
