As powerful as we create him to be.

It is important to note that God's omnipotence does not mean that therefore he can do the logically contradictory-- for example, make a square triangle. In reality there just is no such thing... I don't even think anyone can imagine or even recognize a square triangle if we saw one. The idea is just utter nonesense, a logically contradictory combination of words. So it's no infringement on God's Omnipotence to say that He cannot create a square triangle, because the logically contradictory is simply *nothing*
So how can we describe Omnipotence? This is a bit technical, but the following philosophical analysis would seem to do the trick:
"Person S is omnipotent if and only if S can actualize any state of affairs that is not described by counterfactuals about free acts of others."
Such an analysis successfully sets the parameters of God's omnipotence without imposing any nonlogical limit on his power.

I have asked God the Father to see Him. I saw a vision of a Strong Arm. He said He was too strong to let me see Him. Just seeing God would be too powerful for me.
I have had some faint visions of Jesus Christ. I had been praying for that a few years before I started seeing that. First I saw an artist draw Jesus while inspired by praise music & have confirmation in my spirit that He looked life that when He walked the earth. Also, I have seen Christian art where artists saw a large vision of Jesus Christ. I don't think anyone has seen a vision of Father God.
The vision in Revelation is Jesus Christ.
But after the resurrection & we morphose into an everlasting body we will be able to see Jesus Christ in His resurrected body. After that is more magic and purifying. Then we will be able to see God the Father.
God is all powerful & very powerful. He holds His Word above His own name. So, He doesn't go against His own Word & Purpose.

God is all-powerful. If he is not all-powerful, then who is? Someone in the universe must be all-powerful, and that person we call God.

God is NOT all powerful, because if anything really bad happens in the world, like a tsunami or an earthquake, these are called "Acts of God" by insurance companies, but in fact He bears no official responsibility.
BUT, when it comes to important things like whether you get an "A" on a test or the Mets win the series, God is right there.
Now, God used to do the big things, but nowadays He's what we call a "divine incrementalist"

God is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. Alpha and Omega. In other words all powerful. Oh, yeah, and He rocks!

-It is as power-full as Alha, Budah,Jesus ect, it is as powerfull as people make it. To me the Bible is no more than a Harry potter book, in this book the protagonist flies on a broom in the Bible short story book the protagonist walks over water. None of the books above can be confirmed scientifically.
