The following code is to be done in a LocalScript. First, let's get the LocalPlayer.
Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
To change the Health of the LocalPlayer's Character, we need to get the Character.
Character = Player.CharacterAdded:wait()
This waits until the character is added, and then returns it. Now, we wait for the Humanoid using WaitForChild() and then we can change the Health value of the Humanoid.
Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Health = (DesiredValue)
Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
Character = Player.CharacterAdded:wait()
Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Health = (DesiredValue)
It is important to note that if you want to make the Health greater than 100, you need to change the Humanoid.MaxHealth and then the Health, like
Humanoid.MaxHealth = 500
Humanoid.Health = 500
So, if the Player's "Power" was a value, you could do:
Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
Character = Player.CharacterAdded:wait()
Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").MaxHealth = Power
Character.Humanoid.Health = Power
Once again, this is all to be done in a LocalScript.
Try to watch ROBLOX's scripting tutorials and read over the roblox lua reference. Good luck!

You need to add a changed event for that. When the Power value changes. Please accept my answer already, this isn't a request website and it's coming to that. I'm doe helping you.
