Dunamis Power and the Image of God: Cleaning Up the Reflection

Episode Overview

Real spiritual power, or dunamis, is connected to the Holy Spirit living inside believers, not just having a religious appearance.
Prayers need intention, desire and heart-level belief rather than empty or routine words.
What a person says shapes their life, so it is vital to speak carefully, avoiding gossip and negative self-talk.
Thought patterns and what people regularly listen to can condition the mind, creating either godly habits or destructive ones.
To experience something different in a new season, a person must change their mindset and align more closely with God’s image and character.

“When you pray from the heart, that’s how you get God to move.”

What drives someone to seek a life that actually reflects the God they say they believe in? Dr. Theresa M Bell, known here as Dr. Bell, digs into that question by talking about “dunamis” – the power of the Holy Ghost – and what it really means to walk in the image of God rather than just looking religious on the surface.

Speaking straight from scripture and everyday experience, she contrasts having “a form of godliness” with living in genuine spiritual power.

For her, it starts with identity: God gave humans dominion, anointing, and the Holy Spirit, but many are, as she puts it, just like a reflection in a mirror – visible, but with “no power.” You’ll hear her unpack the image of God through Genesis, Corinthians and Galatians, linking it with the fruits of the Spirit and the way believers think, speak and act. Prayer is a big focus. Dr.

Bell challenges people to stop “just saying words” and begin praying from the heart, with desire and intention: “When you pray from the heart, that’s how you get God to move.” She even connects this to her own story of quitting drugs “cold turkey” after a sincere, heart-level cry to God.

She also talks about the power of words and thoughts – from gossip and negative self-talk to conditioning the mind over time – and how what you listen to, watch and repeat can build habits that either reflect God’s character or pull you away from it. Throughout, she keeps it practical and a bit humorous, mixing Bible teaching with work stories from mental health and community support.

If you’re interested in faith-based recovery, spiritual growth, or just cleaning up the image you walk in, this conversation might get you asking: do your prayers, words and daily choices match the God you say you follow?
