If you look also at scriptures that speak of Jesus doing miracles, you see that He superimposed time, space, order, and rank.
Embolden. To be in the Spirit and using a voice gift...you speak out of heaven, and in the authority of it.

Or moving in the Spirit to do His work.
I’ve tasted these things and thirst for more. More of You Lord!
