Raise up the Sword of the Spirit: by the power of the Spirit of God

And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
 
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
 
But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
 
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
 
And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
 
And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
 
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
 
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
 
Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
 
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
 
 
And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
 
That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
 
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
 
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
 
By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
 
Ephesians 1:18-20 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

Ephesians 3:19-21
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Ephesians 6:10-11
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
