It is a rather vague notion. Most people mean some sort of great sentience, like a huge invisible super being or a collective intelligence in the universe.
The term probably arose because the more philosophical ones realized that there were no gods hanging around, nor was there really any evidence of any. But they wanted to still believe there was a god of some sort, so they made the definition of "god" even more vague so they'd have an easier time believing it true.

For atheists, their higher power is Hollywood celebrities, democrat politicians, and the concept of liberalism itself.
Yes, I am serious. They literally worship the ground Oprah and Bill Clinton (even though he is Christian btw) walk on.

Some thing that is higher and has more power. A being whose knowledge, strength, and morals are greater that ours.

You need to put that in a context to get any kind of an rational answer. I don't think it is a Biblical phrase. If you want just a straight difinition check a dictionary.
