Dunamis (Energy / Inherent Power — The Creative Force at Work)

EN — Transliteration: dúnamis

Designates the power, capacity or inherent energy of a being or force. Miracle-centered theology translated it as 'miracle' or 'supernatural power' reserved for an elite of the chosen — a restrictive reading foreign to the medical, philosophical and natural use of the term.

📖 Réf. : Mt 6:13 | Mt 22:29 | Lk 1:35 | Lk 4:14 | Acts 1:8 | Rom 1:16 | 1 Cor 1:18 | 2 Cor 12:9 | Eph 1:19 | 2 Tim 3:5

Dunamis (δύναμις) is not a miracle reserved for an elite. It is inherent energy — the creative power at work in all things — available to every believer in the most ordinary daily life.
