Now the one powerful doing abundantly above all what asked or imagined, accordingly the power the one working in us, to Him the glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus to the extent of all generations, that forever, the one forever! amen.*
From this word for powerful we get the English word dynamite. Jesus began to denounce the towns he had done powerful works in because they did not repent.* The nation God had called and set apart, had turned cold with calloused hearts. But the Father was pleased to hide the things of God from the wise, revealing them to little children. God gives power according to ability.* Abraham took in hand power becoming a father, even though Sarah was barren, he believed God who promised him a son.* God empowers and strengthens according to his mighty power.
He did not turn back in unbelief regarding the promise of God, however empowered in faith, delivering glory to God.*
Abraham was empowered in faith, which means to give strength, strengthen; (mid./pass.) to be strong, strengthened. How was Abraham empowered? Jesus is the author and perfecter of faith and as Paul writes the gospel was preached to Abraham beforehand. The Church was built upon the prophets who foresaw into this mystery. Establishment is according to the gospel and preaching of Jesus Christ, and according to revelation of the mystery manifested through knowledge of the Son. In other words empowerment in faith comes in Jesus, "now furthermore be empowered in the Lord and in the might of his strength."* Our strength comes through empowerment, his might, his strength. We are to love God with all whole strength.* This sounds like a contradiction but His burden is light, and our strength to serve comes from strength that God supplies.* This truth frees us from striving and toiling in our own strength.
And what is the surpassing greatness of his power to the extent of us who believe, according to the active energy of his might, the strength that worked in Christ raising him from the dead and seating in his right hand in the heavenlies.*
This is a power prayer, if you lack strength pray this prayer, that Go will supply you in his migthy power. Under His might is all authority, power, strength, energy or intensity of which one is capable.* These words are often used interchangeably but they exist separate distinct words and we see all words of power in this verse (megethos=greatness; dynamis=power; energeia=energy; kratos=force or might; energeō=to effect; ischus=strength; egeirō=excite, arouse, awaken, to raise; kathizō =to cause to sit, place) all these come under his might. God supplies us from His might the strength we need so that we labor, contend, run the race according to his power working in us.* The same is true for overcoming sin or evil.
This word for strong, ischuros, is related to the word for strength, also meaning fortified, sure, firm. "Stand therefore gird your waist in truth..." is related to being fortified, sure, firm, in fact the word for stand, histēmi, means to stand, to make stand, place, put, establish. It is the word of Christ that empowers us to stand, place, put, and establish. One must have a sure foundation to stand upon, and the words of Jesus exist the Rock we are to stand upon, the Vine we are to abide in to bear fruit. Faith is increased through the words of Jesus, whom is truth, thus the one abiding in his words, which exist truth, will know the truth and be set free. Thus the victory that overcomes the world, is that our faith, as faith is increased through His words. We overcome as the word of God abides in us. We are established upon his words, we become strong or his strength is at work in us through abiding in His words. Our faith is strengthened, we are strengthened, through Him, abiding in His words.

writing to you youth for you exist strong and the word of God abides in you also overcoming the evil one.*
But as his anointing teaches you about all things and exists true and not a lie, also teaching you, abide in him.*
The Holy Spirit, the power that raised Christ from the dead, is a Spirit of Life in Christ, and a Spirit of Life through Righteousness. Our Righteousness exists in Christ and His Words exist Eternal Life, thus the Spirit is our "helper" leading us into Righteousness and Life in Christ. Jesus is the living bread who the Father put his seal on for such a purpose. The Spirit is our helper, one of truth as the Spirit guides us into the truth, who is Jesus. Although the Spirit intercedes and prays for us when we know not what to pray for, Jesus is our great High Priest always interceding, mediating for us. The Spirit is the great helper and servant of God, not even speaking on its own. This scripture is a telling sign of a spirit of error and a Spirit of truth, "his anointing teaches you about all things and exists true and not a lie, also teaching you, abide in him."* The Spirit teaches us to abide in Jesus. So we see those who walk in truth abide in the words of Jesus, these are established and exist Strong in His Mighty Power.
