The concept is present, but not the verbiage. We see the power accessed and loosed when the woman with an issue of blood touched the hem of Christ's garment and he sensed that "virtue" (power) had gone out from Him. I think when the early church prayed, they instinctively understood that they were operating in the power and authority of God. For God promised...
Acts 1:8
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Many within the church today don't fully realize how much power and authority they have. They pray up towards Heaven and ask that God will do something here on earth, the answer coming now down from Heaven. But we don't see that in the early church so much. We see men speaking healing "Silver and gold have I none, but that which
I do have, give I thee..." They understood that they had been delegated power from God, and the authority to use it. I simply took to praying with the words "release the power of God" on occasion to get my focus straight. In time, one instinctively begins to realize that they are bringing to bear the authority and power of the indwelling Spirit of Christ Jesus that is delegated to them. Then they can ditch the training wheels of the phrase, "I release the power of God over this situation", etc.
