Ephesians 1:19-21 Part 1 of 2

... and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

That power 
Ephesians 3:7  I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God's grace given me through the working of his power.
Colossians 1:29  To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.

is the same as the mighty strength 
Isaiah 40:26  Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing. 
Ephesians 6:10  Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead 
Acts 2:24  "But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him."

and seated him at his right hand 
Mark 16:19  And after the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God.

in the heavenly realms 
Ephesians 1:3  Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

far above all rule and authority, power and dominion 
Ephesians 3:10  His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, ...
Colossians 1:16  For in him (the Son) all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.
