As previously mentioned, the Greek word for power is dunamis, where we get the word for dynamite. But dynamite is only latent power until it is detonated and released.
For power to be detonated and released, there must be a fuse and a fire igniting it. With God's power, faith is the fuse and our words are the fire. James says, "The tongue is a fire" (3:5, KJV), in the sense of imparting evil; but it can also be a fire for truth, because God Himself "is a consuming fire" (Hebrews 12:29).
Let me emphasize:
God's dunamis (dynamite) power, like a stick of dynamite, is only latent (potential) power until it is detonated and released. Like dynamite, God's latent power needs both a fuse and a fire. Our faith is the fuse and our words are the fire that ignites and releases God's dynamite, supernatural power into the world, transcending natural law.
Summary: God's words (latent power) + our faith (fuse) + our words (fire) = God's dynamite power released.
This chapter will reveal key truths about releasing the power through both faith and words.
