God’s Omnipotence

God’s power is the capacity for him to give of himself.

We cannot define God’s power according to the human definition of power. For humans see power as the capacity to dominate and manipulate. But if the power wants or needs anything from those under his authority, then he admits a lack in himself and thus proves his inferiority to those under his authority. Power is then contradicted.

So power is the capacity to give of the self, for this demonstrates the innate quality of the power, and thus conforms the object of this power to this quality by filling the object with the essence of the power. God is omnipotent: he is an unlimited source of life that gives without measure to his creation so that it might be filled with what he is, and thus conformed to his relationship.
