Below is some definitions of  Dunamis.


Dunamis or dynamis (Greek δυναμις) is an Ancient Greek word meaning
"power" or "force". It is the root of the English words "dynamic",
"dynamite", and "dynamo". The word "dunamis" is sometimes seen in
English texts because of its importance in philosophy.

Oracle of Dunamis
In Greek mythology, the Oracle of Dunamis (ca. 1400 BCE), believed to
have been situated south of the island of Rhodes, contained a statue of a
man who was to lead humanity into a time of spiritual prosperity.
Christians assigned this to Jesus in support of Biblical prophecies.


Philosophy
The word dunamis appears in Aristotle's works as a term for what is or
has a certain potency. The word can be translated by such terms as
power, capacity, potential, potency, capability and faculty (ability, skill, or
power). The term relates to Michel Foucault's pouvoir in French: the able-
to-do. Aristotle contrasted
dunamis with energeia or entelecheia. Jacques Derrida uses the term in
"The Strange Institution Called Literature," where Derrida writes, "...poetry
and literature have as a common feature that they suspend the 'thetic'
naivety of the transcendent reading. This also accounts for the
philosophical force of these experiences, a force of provocation to think
phenomenality, meaning, object, even being as such, a force which is at
least potential, a philosophical dunamis--which can, however, be
developed only in the text like a substance" (Derrida 46).



Christianity
In Christian theology "Dunamis" is sometimes used in conjunction with
the Holy Spirit.[1] It describes the activities of the Holy Spirit as believers
receive Him (Acts 1:8, 10:38).

In mainstream Christianity, the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost is one of the
three entities of the Holy Trinity which make up the single substance of
God; that is, the Spirit is considered to act in concert with and share an
essential nature with God the Father and God the Son (Jesus Christ). The
Christian theology of the Holy Spirit, or pneumatology, was the last piece
of Trinitarian theology to be fully explored and developed. For this reason,
there is greater theological diversity among Christian understandings of
the Spirit than there is among others.

May the Lord God of all creation bless you and your family. Amen
