The Bible speaks of 3 kinds of “power”.
1- Capacity to do: Luc 1:35, Luc 1:37. It is “dunameis”, where the word “dynamite” comes from; it is the “power” that the Spirit will give to the apostles, in Acts 1:8.
2- Possibility of becoming “sons of God”, Jua 1:12.
3- Authority to act, Ac 5:4, Rom 9:21.
Jesus, without “human power”: Jesus had no money, no profession of power, no powerful friendships, no armies, no politics. he was the “power of impotence”, “the power of love”.
Almighty Jesus, as God: Jn.5.
17-19,Rom 10:28-30.
(as Son of God).
– As a man, his power comes from the Father, by the Spirit, Ac 10:38.
– His power is “supreme”, Eph 1:20-21, 1Pe 3:22.
– without limits, Mt.28: i8.
– over all flesh, Joh 17:2.
– eternal, 1Ti 6:16.
– It is manifested in creation, Jua 1:3, Jua 1:19, Col 1:16.
– in which it holds everything, Col 1:17, Heb 1:3
– in salvation, Isa 63:1, Heb 7:25.
– in his teaching, Mat 7:28-29, Luke 4:32
– in his miracles, Mat 8:27, Luk 5:17.
– in that he gave power to others to perform miracles, Mat 10:1, Luke 10:17, Mar 16:17
– in forgiving sins, Mat 9:6, Hch.S
31, March 2:10.
– gave others the power to forgive sins, J n.20: 23.
– gives eternal life, Joh 17:2.
– resurrected, Joh 2:19, Joh 10:18, Joh 10:20-21.
– conquered the world, j n.16:23.
– defeated Satan, Col 2:15, Heb 2:14.
– destroyed the works of Satan, 1Jn 3:8.
Power of the Holy Spirit It is the power of God, Mat 12:28, Luc 11:20.
– Christ was begotten by the power of the Holy Spirit, Luc 1:35, Mat 1:18.
– He is the Lord and giver of life in creation, Gen 1:2, Job 26:13, Ps 104:3.
– Jesus began his ministry in the Holy Spirit, Luke 4:14.
– He did good, miracles and expelled the sick with the power of the Holy Spirit, Ac 10:38.
– dies on the cross, by virtue of the Holy Spirit, Heb 9:14.
– Resurrected by the power of the Holy Spirit, Rom 8:11.
– The Holy Spirit gives life and guides the Church, Acts 2, Jua 14:17-18, Jua 16:7.
– Bread is made in the Eucharist by the work of the Holy Spirit: Thus the priest says before the Consecration: “Lord, sanctify these gifts, sending your Spirit upon them, so that they may become the body and blood of Jesus Christ”.
Power of Christians The same power of Christ, of the Holy Spirit, to teach, preach, heal the sick, expel demons, forgive sins, baptize, celebrate the Eucharist.
– Promised by the Father, Luke 24:49.
– by Christ, Ac 1:8, Joh 16:7-15.
– to be “witnesses for Christ”, Ac 1:8.
– to forgive sins, Joh 30:22-23.
– to cast out demons and perform healing and miracles, Mark 16:17-18, 1Co 12:8-10.
– It is a “power” greater than that of Satan, 1Jn 4:4.
Satan’s power: It is very great, 2Co 9:14, 2Te 2:9-10.
– a 3-year-old “Christian”, has more “power” than Satan and all the demons, 1Jn 4:4., Luke 10:17. See “Devil”.

It is the ability to do things. The Hebrew term koah sometimes suggests the characteristic of something that is strong and enduring, as in Job 6:12 (“Is my strength that of stones, or is my flesh bronze?”). But most of the time it is translated as strength, power, capacity to produce, both in human terms (“Rubén, you are my firstborn, my strength, and the beginning of my vigor”), as well as speaking of the land (“When till the ground, it will not give you its strength again† ). It speaks of the great force, or the p. of †¢Samson (Jg 16:5).
When the term is related to God, we are talking about his omnipotence. he is the one who can do everything, as can be seen in the work of creation († œHe who made the earth with his power, who put the world in order with his knowledge, and stretched out the heavens with his wisdom of the †). that p. manifests itself in the salvation of his people († œ… Lord our God, who brought your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand †). The p. human cannot be compared to p. of God (“Is not such strength and power in your hand, that there is no one to resist you?”).
in the NT the term exousia is mostly translated ‘power’, but on several occasions the p-word is used. (“I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it up again.”) Similarly, the term dunamis is sometimes translated as “miracle”, “power”, “virtues” or “wonders”, but also as e.g. (†œ… with demonstration of the Spirit and of p., so that your faith may not be based on the wisdom of men, but on the p. of God† ; †œAnd God, who raised up the Lord, will also raise us up with his p.† ).
he is “mighty in deed and in word” (Luke 24:19). †œFr. of the Lord was with him to heal† (Luke 5:17). He has absolute control of the p. that is in him, since when the sick woman with an issue of blood touched him and was healed, Christ realized that he had come out p. of him (Luke 8:46). The p. It is the capacity that resides in a person to carry out physical, spiritual or political actions. That’s the p. who has the Holy Spirit, who gives new life to believers (Eph 1:19; Eph 3:20). The gospel is †œp. of God for salvation to everyone who believes† (Rom 1:16). That is why we preach “Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1Co 1:24). †¢Principalities and powers.

vet, The two main words that are translated “power” in the NT are: (a) “dynamis” and (b) “exousia”. It is important to discriminate between the two, because they do not mean the same thing. “Dynamis” can be described as “physical or moral capacity, power”. “Exousia” means “delegated authority, right, privilege”. The latter always implies the power to exercise the right, but the former does not carry any concept of right or authority. Thus, “dynamis” translates capacity, efficiency, strength, wonder, miracle, power, potency, sign, value, which helps more to see the character of this word, in contrast to “exousia”, which translates authority, right, jurisdiction, freedom, power, authority. The term “power” appears in both lists, and any ambiguity must be avoided: “Exousia” is frequently translated as “power”, when another term might give a better meaning. Thus, “power” (or “authority”) is correctly translated: “the Son of man has power (or authority)” (Mt. 9:6; cf. 28:18; Mr. 2:10; Lk. 4: 6; John 17:2; Col. 1:13, etc.). Instead, it is translated “power” in the Reina-Valera 1960 version in passages such as Lk. 12:5; Jn. 10:18; Hch. 5:4; 8:19; Rev 9:3, 10, 19; 11:6; 14:18; 16:9; 18:1, where it would be better translated “authority,” “right,” or “power.” To recapitulate, “dynamis” means only force or power, while “exousia” denotes a delegated right or power, with the necessary power to put it into effect.
