Dunamis
{doo'-nam-is}
The word Dunamis
is used in the New Testament for the
words POWER, VIRTUE, STRENGT AND MIGHT.
It speaks of an inherent power, a power that is so inseparable from the
One exercising it that this power displayed
becomes a mark or identifiable characteristic of the One excercizing
it, and thus the power exhibited becomes a visble manifestation
of It’s inner nature. This power being of such a nature as to
perform even miracles.
