Old Testament

Judges 13: 3,5,24

  

And the Angel of the Lord appear to the woman and said to her, “You shall conceive and bear a son…. Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. And no razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.” So the woman bore son and called his name Samson; and the child grew, and the Lord blessed him.
Judges 14:5-6  

Now to his [Samson’s] surprise, a young lion came roaring against him. And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and he tore the lion apart…though he had nothing in his hand.
Judges 15:13-14  

And they bound him with two new ropes….When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting against him. Then the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him; and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that is burned with fire, and his bonds broke loose from his hands.
Judges 1616-17  

And it came to pass, when she [Delilah] pestered him daily with her words and pressed him, so that his soul was vexed to death, that he told her his heart and said to her, “No razor has ever come upon my head, for I have been a Nazarite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaven, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.”  
2 Samuel 22: 2-3  

The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer,
The God of my strength, in Him I will trust.
Psalm 65:5-6  

O God of our salvation,
You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth,
Who has established the mountains by His strength,
Being clothed with power... 

The New Testament
Matthew 7:24-25  

“Whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.” 
Matthew 17:20  

“I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” 
Matthew 6:13  

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.

The Lord is the Word because He is the Divine truth; also because the Word is from Him, and treats of Him.
