What do you mean by "power"? I don't confuse jumping around and a lot of loud hollaring as "power" and I hope you don't.
I have seen just as many miracles and Gods marvelous work in peoples lives in churches where the pastor speaks in a normal voice as the years spent listening to preachers scream their lungs out with spit flying all over and faces so red you think they are going to have a stroke.
Just saying......

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
