Purpose of Scriptural Power

Though God is the same yesterday, today and forever, He works in each person's life uniquely. I’ve never been more content and fulfilled then I am now; yet, there is that Romans 5 “much more” repeated five times in the chapter.

Call it a holy discontent. Grateful for all the blessings God has given me, yet wondering if I’m living beneath my privledges as a follower of Christ. Is there a power for good that I’m not utilizing?

A number of passages suggest that there is a power available to me (to us) that is beyond our imagination. A very partial listing follows, call it Purpose of scriptural power – what power looks like.
Luke 1: 17 And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous--to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
Luke 5:17 One day as he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law, who had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem, were sitting there. And the power of the Lord was present for him to heal the sick

Luke 10: 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
John 17: 11 I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name--the name you gave me--so that they may be one as we are one.
Acts 1: 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
Acts 4: 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all.
Acts 6: 8 Now Stephen, a man full of God's grace and power, did great wonders and miraculous signs among the people.
Acts 26: 18 to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.' (SATAN HAS POWER.)
Rom.1: 16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
Rom.9: 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: "I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."
Rom.15: 13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Rom.15: 19 by the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
1Cor.2: 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power,5 so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.
2Co.10: 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
Eph.3: 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,18 may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Col.1:11 being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks
2Pet.1:3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

IN summarizing these passages, a desire for power to: bring family unity, heal the sick and diseased, drive out demons, be a witness of Christ’s resurrection, do miraculous signs and wonders, display God’s power, bring hope, grasp the depths of God’s love, develop a joyful, grateful attitude, and develop a patient endurance.

I’m wondering if my asking God for His power is a lot like my previous asking Him to help me be a millionaire. I seems like He said to me, “I’ll make you rich when I can trust you with it.” Could He be saying now, “I’ll empower you as I can trust you with it.”
