When did God turn the Power off?

Sometimes I ask the question "Where did the power of God and his gospel go?" I mean when we read scripture it is very clear that when God gives us a task to do he gives us tools to do it with. Gifts, tools, ministry what ever you want to call it, the truth is we have them. But there is a problem... it seems like the power is out. Now why would that be the case? Did God flick his eternal supply of power from ON to OFF? It seems like the same man who composed our greatest theological scriptures also walked in a power of the Spirit that would now be condemned in our culture. I don't really understand why this topic of Spirit empowered action is of such controversy. Most that would agree would still say that people might take something out of context but isn't everything in scripture taken out of context by someone or other? We choose not to make those issues controversial but if someone wants to pray and flay hands on someone to be healed (in accordance with James 5:14) then it becomes divisive and makes people too uncomfortable.
Why don't we simply have faith? Faith that Christ is our savior and he said that

"18 In the morning, as he was returning to the city, he became hungry. 19 And seeing a fig tree by the wayside, he went to it and found nothing on it but only leaves. And he said to it, “May no fruit ever come from you again!” And the fig tree withered at once.

20 When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither at once?” 21 And Jesus answered them, “Truly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. 22 And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”" - Matt. 21 : 18-22

When I read the Bible it continues to point to the power of Christ over the things that we face. We are called to live a different life after we are saved by grace than before we believe. Are we not called to something greater? Something more beautiful? "Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us." Why are we so easily satisfied? Why do we seek so earnestly our own correctness without ever walking with whom that we worship? I am convinced that we are stuck in head knowledge but heart knowledge comes from relationship, and that must include talking directly, sitting at the feat of our Father who gives all good things. For

"16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."
- Ephesians 3: 16-19


I have resolved to pray and expect God to be bigger than who you or I think he is.
