And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set [him] at his own right hand in the heavenly [places], (Eph 1:19-20).
There is no such thing as a lack of power in Christ. Revival is when men accidentally yield to God’s power that has always been available to them. That is the problem, because they accidentally yielded, they are always looking for methods to maintain the move of God. We lose the manifestation of God’s power because we are trying to receive or maintain by our works of righteousness what God has freely given to us, free of charge. How much power do we really have as believers in Jesus Christ?
Let’s look at our text once again. It’s exceeding greatness of power. If the Bible had said, “greatness of power” it would have been awesome but it says more than that. It says “exceeding greatness”. Exceed means to surpass, to be greater than, to go beyond the limit of. Wow! The power that is available to you in Christ is greater than greatness! It’s surpasses greatness, it’s beyond great power.
You are loaded with power. We are sufficient in Christ. Jesus is not just enough, He’s too much. We don’t lack power; we’ve been blessed with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
How I wish that the revelation of the Gospel really dawns on us. We don’t pray for more anointing, or a new anointing. We are the body of Christ. The same Holy Spirit that was upon Jesus is at work in us NOW.
All things are ready for you now.
It’s unbelief to look for more when you already have everything. We are not God chasers, we’ve found Him, and we are getting more and more revelation every day.
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, (Eph 3:20).
We see the word “exceed” here again. Abundantly means more than enough. God is able to surpass abundantly. He is able to do more than you can ever ask or think. But, how is He going to do it? The text gives us the answer! According to the power that works in US! We are loaded. The power that works in you is more than enough.
I believe in the finished work of Christ. Jesus is enough, He is more than enough, and He’s too much. He lives in me!
I’m anointed. I don’t pray for more power, let’s pray like Elisha prayed for his servant, let’s pray that our eyes will be opened!
In Christ, we are not trying to become, WE ARE.
Our greatest struggle is to stop struggling.

There are "tensions" in Scripture. While what you are saying is true, it is only half true. It would also be true to say "we" should "work" out our salvation. Both are in Scripture. Both are by His grace.
God's Holy Spirit in us believers is more than enough, that's fully true.
Yes, we should work out our salvation not work for our salvation. To work out simply means to express what we already have.

"Nevertheless, this book goes forth with a mission. It is written with the profound conviction that the paramount need of the twentieth century is a mighty evangelical revival such as that which was experienced two hundred years ago. Thus, I have sought to show what were the doctrines used of God in the eighteenth-century Revival, and to display the extraordinary fervour which characterized the men whom God raised up in that blessed work. Yea, this book is written in the desire—perhaps in a measure of inner certainty—that we shall see the great Head of the Church once more bring into being His special instruments of revival, that He will again raise up unto Himself certain young men whom He may use in this glorious employ. And what manner of men will they be? Men mighty in the Scriptures, their lives dominated by a sense of the greatness, the majesty and holiness of God, and their minds and hearts aglow with the great truths of the doctrines of grace. They will be men who have learned what it is to die to self, to human aims and personal ambitions; men who are willing to be ‘fools for Christ’s sake’, who will bear reproach and falsehood, who will labour and suffer, and whose supreme desire will be, not to gain earth’s accolades, but to win the Master’s approbation when they appear before His awesome judgment seat. They will be men who will preach with broken hearts and tear-filled eyes, and upon whose ministries God will grant an extraordinary effusion of the Holy Spirit, and who will witness ‘signs and wonders following’ in the transformation of multitudes of human lives."
