I love this post!!!

I always found it interesting that Jesus "breathed" out the Holy Spirit. 

When I was a teenagger I would close my eyes and try to imagine the Holy Spirit coming up from His belly... travelling through his lungs ...even though He was in the greatest pain any man could ever bare ...yet He was pushing up that flow... from his stomach, I would imagine the sound of it rushing up just like the fast parts of one of the rivers in Portland that we would go tubing down- which would then lead me to fast rushing living waters!...up passed his lungs... that one last breath...I wonder if that had hurt him too? that release of power left his body... just for ME!

   Last Breath

   In that last breath

   I was given a gift

   In that last cry

   I get to have a power

   for eternity with my Messiah

 I found this on one of my study sites if anyone else was interested ( I love learning new things about God and His word! :0)

The biblical description of power relates primarily to God and people. Power is an inherent characteristic of God (Rom 1:20). It is the result of his nature. God's kind of power is seen in his creation (Psalm 19; 150:1; Jer 10:12). His inexplicable power is the only explanation for the virgin birth of Jesus (Luke 1:35). Power is always a derived characteristic for people, who receive power from God (Deut 8:18; Isa 40:29; Micah 3:8; Matt 22:29; 1 Cor 2:4; Eph 3:7), from political position (Esther 1:3; Luke 20:20), from armies (1 Chron 20:1), and from other structures that provide advantage over others. When humans perceive that their power is intrinsic to themselves, they are self-deceived (Lev 26:19; Deut 8:17-18; Hosea 2:7-9; John 19:10-11).

Jesus as the God-Man demonstrated both the intrinsic and derived aspects of power. He proclaimed his power and authority as derived from the Father (John 5:27; 17:2; 5:16-23). He also demonstrated that his power was derived from his authority as the Son of Man and that the two were an inseparable testimony to his divine nature (Matt 9:6-7; Luke 4:36; 9:1).

Power in the New Testament is used to describe the unseen world. The angelic realm is described as "powers" or "authorities" (Rom 8:38; Eph 3:10; 6:12; Col 1:16; 2:10, 16). Jesus exercised power over the unseen world through his exorcism of demons (Mark 6:7; Luke 9:1).

Paul especially images the living of the Christian life as an empowerment from God. The believer's union with Christ delivers him or her from the power of sin (cf. Rom. 6-8) and introduces him or her to the "power of [Christ's] resurrection" (Php 3:10). Salvation and holy living provide the Christian with a "spirit of power" for witness (2 Tim 1:7-8). Paul's view of the gospel itself is imaged as power (Rom 1:16). "Power" in Romans 1:16 renders the Greek word dunamis [duvnami"]. It is often noted that the gospel is the "dynamite of God" because the English word "dynamite" is derived from dunamis [duvnami"]. Such an observation, however, is not a valid use of etymology. Dynamite was not in existence during Paul's time. He had no such image in his mind. For Paul, the gospel dunamis [duvnami"] was the dynamic of God's power conveyed through God's message. When presented to the world, the gospel dynamically works salvation in those who believe. Paul develops the motif of divine power as the key to Christian living by noting that unless the believer is empowered, it is impossible to please God (Rom. 6-8; 1 Cor 15:56-57).

Peter also utilizes the concept of power to image the Christian life as an empowerment from God. Second Peter 1:3 states that "His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness." The context views this power as channeled through knowledge and virtue. Peter does not view this power as passive, but as the foundation and motivation to pursue a circle of virtues (1:5-9) that produce and evidence productive Christian living.
