If, you are believing God for the “suddenly” as you now must understand that you have authority to God’s supernatural power that is enriched with His authority in Christ Jesus. The power of the Holy Spirit is the power of God. The Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity, which has appeared throughout Scripture as a Being through and by whom great works of power are made manifest. His power was first seen in the act of creation, for it was by His power the world came into being (Genesis 1:1–2; Job 26:13). The Holy Spirit also empowered men in the Old Testament to bring about God’s will: “So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the Lord came upon David in power” (1 Samuel 16:13; see also Exodus 31:2–5; Numbers 27:18). Although the Spirit did not permanently indwell God’s people in the Old Testament, He worked through them and gave them power to achieve things they would not have been able to accomplish on their own. All of Samson’s feats of strength are directly attributed to the Spirit coming upon him (Judges 14:6, 19; 15:14).

In that moment of connection, we obtain life. Without encountering the One to whom Scriptures point, we are a people to be pitied. As Jesus told the Pharisees, "You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life" (John 5:39-40).
Nearly every leader wants revival in one way or another, and many want healings, deliverances and miracles. But it's hard to have the same fruit as the early church when we value a book they didn't have above the Holy Spirit they did have. Jesus promised the Spirit as a permanent guide, teacher, seal of salvation, and comforter for believers (John 14:16-18). He also promised that the Holy Spirit’s power would help His followers to spread the message of the gospel around the world: “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 1:8). The salvation of souls is a supernatural work only made possible by the Holy Spirit’s power at work in the world. During His earthly ministry, Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit (Luke 4:1), led by the Spirit (Luke 4:14), and empowered by the Spirit to perform miracles (Matthew 12:28). After Jesus had ascended to heaven, the Spirit equipped the apostles to perform miracles, too (2 Corinthians 2:12; Acts 2:43; 3:1–7; 9:39–41). The power of the Holy Spirit was manifest among all the believers of the early church through the dispensation of spiritual gifts such as speaking in tongues, prophesying, teaching, wisdom, and more.

Keys To Releasing The Supernatural Power Of God In Your Life:
The power of God is given by Him. It is not something we earn or manipulate with a formula. It is something we learn to walk in as we learn to walk with Him.
First key, to releasing the supernatural power of God in your life is being committed.
Be Willing to Recognize God As Your Power Source:
We must daily be willing to recognize God as your true power source, and that come by us staying faithful in prayer. God pleading with Him to fill us and equip us to do the work He has called us to do. Paul is a great example of this. He had been trained under the best scholars and was considered one of the most influential scholars of his day. According to the religious leaders, he had a very bright future ahead of him. Still, he did not know or operate under the Spirit’s authority and power. But all of that changed when he met Jesus on the road to Damascus (Acts 9). It’s also important we understand that we have the authority as believers to trample the works of darkness and the enemy (Luke 10:19). We also have power to heal people and to help others when they are suffering. Ask God to show you where you can be a blessing to people, to show you who needs prayer and to be bold in speaking with people in need.

Second key, to releasing the supernatural power of in your life is being faithful.
Be Filled with the Holy Spirit:
After Jesus died on the cross and rose again on the third day, we were allowed access into God’s presence through the power of the Holy Spirit. We’re also allowed access after we are born again spiritually (by water and the spirit). We are not literally born again in our mother’s womb, but rather our minds are renewed and the old is gone (John 3).
It’s so important that we receive the power and authority on how to plug into God’s Word daily so that we can be refueled and renewed in our right mind set. The Bible says to be transformed by the renewing of your mind, as well as being nourished from daily bread, which is the Lord’s Word (Matthew 6:11). Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2). After, this we will be able to be tested and walk worthy in what God’s will is for our lives which is through His perfect will.

Third key, to releasing the supernatural power of in your life is being obedient.
Be Prepared to Acknowledge with God, All Things Are Possible:
While God can do anything He wishes to do, God will not do things that would be against His holy will or contradictory to His purposes. He can commit no sinful act, for example, for He is completely holy, and sinning is not in His character. It is worth noting that we see throughout the Bible that God is omnipotent, all-powerful but not equaled or surpassed by anyone or anything. It is perfectly within God's power to make those things possible, but there is nothing in Scripture that indicates it is God's desire to make them possible. Something being possible for God does not obligate Him to actually do it. We must be thoroughly familiar with Scripture so that we can know what is God's desire and what He has promised, and thereby know what God will make possible in our lives. Whatever struggles you are facing at the moment, however difficult life looks, however impossible the situation seems, it is important to remember his love for you and trust that ‘with God all things are possible’ (Matthew 19:26).

Fourth key, to releasing the supernatural power of in your life is being obedient.
Be Willing To Walk As A Faith Giant:
Not all giants are made of flesh and blood, oftentimes, they will come in various forms such as: addictions, flaws, shortcomings, temptations, blind spots, trials. In addition, to anything bigger than us, stronger than us, faster than us, in which is anything more powerful than us, anything we don’t have the skill to face on our own, anything with the potential to knock us down and beat us senseless, in which these are giants, too, often marshaled and commanded by Satan the devil, the eternal enemy of God’s people (Revelation 12:9-10). Giants will many time remind us of how small and helpless we are. The problem is, when we surrender to a giant, especially one of the modern-day variety that we give up more than just a fight. We give up control over our own lives, handing the reins over to Satan himself. When we decide beforehand that we can’t win these battles, we forfeit any hope of growth, of overcoming and of breaking free. Choosing not to fight means embracing stagnancy and accepting defeat as a lifestyle.0

Fifth key, to releasing the supernatural power of in your life is being obedient.
Be Empowered from the Word of God:
When you come to a full-knowledge of God through His word. Jesus says: "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John.8:31-32). The word of God empowers us through knowledge to overcome sin through Christ. Additionally, Christians are empowered to overcome every trial of life to "glory in tribulations" (Romans 5:3). Empowerment is important for a content, peaceful, and successful life, now notice that God has empowered everyone (having normal mental faculties) to repent from sin and turn to God (Luke 13:13). And, He has empowered all men to believe into the name of Jesus and therefore receive the right to become children of God (John. 1:12-13). But God empowers Christians beyond the power granted to alien sinners.
God has blessed us with the revelation of His mind, an avenue whereby we may petition Him, also there is a spiritual need to edify, encourage, and admonish one another. God Himself even chastens us if we sin and refuse to turn back to Him (Hebrews 12:5-11).
God strengthens (empowers) Christians with a power that the world cannot receive. Therefore, we should not compare ourselves to the world, nor should we be of the world. For we are a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own chosen people (1 Peter 2:9).

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” (Hebrews 4:12-13).
