The Head- Period

Colossians 2:9-19 (TPT)

“⁹ For he is the complete fullness of deity living in human form. ¹⁰ And our own completeness is now found in him. We are completely filled with God as Christ’s fullness overflows within us. He is the Head^[a] of every kingdom and authority in the universe!

¹¹ Through our union with him we have experienced circumcision of heart. All of the guilt and power of sin^[b] has been cut away and is now extinct because of what Christ, the Anointed One, has accomplished for us.

¹² For we’ve been buried with him into his death. Our “baptism into death” also means we were raised with him when we believed in God’s resurrection power, the power that raised him from death’s realm. ¹³ This “realm of death” describes our former state, for we were held in sin’s grasp.^[c]But now, we’ve been resurrected out of that “realm of death” never to return, for we are forever alive and forgiven of all our sins!

¹⁴ He canceled out every legal violation we had on our record and the old arrest warrant that stood to indict us. He erased it all—our sins, our stained^[d] soul—he deleted it all and they cannot be retrieved! Everything we once were in Adam^[e] has been placed onto his cross and nailed permanently there as a public display of cancellation.

¹⁵ Then Jesus made a public spectacle of all the powers and principalities of darkness, stripping away from them every weapon and all their spiritual authority and power^[f] to accuse us. And by the power of the cross, Jesus led them around as prisoners in a procession of triumph. He was not their prisoner; they were his!^[g]

Liberty in Christ

¹⁶ So why would you allow anyone^[h] to judge you because of what you eat or drink, or insist that you keep the feasts, observe new moon celebrations, or the Sabbath? ¹⁷ All of these were but a prophetic shadow and the evidence of what would be fulfilled,^[i] for the body^[j] is now Christ!

¹⁸ Don’t let anyone disqualify you from your prize! Don’t let their pretended sincerity fool you as they deliberately lead you into their initiation of angel worship.^[k] For they take pleasure in pretending to be experts of something they know nothing about. Their reasoning is meaningless and comes only from their own opinions. ¹⁹ They refuse to take hold of the true source.

But we receive directly from him, and his life supplies^[l] vitality into every part of his body through the joining ligaments connecting us all as one. He is the divine Head who guides his body and causes it to grow by the supernatural power of God.^[m]Read full chapter”

Apostolic Blessing and Conclusion

“²⁰ Now may the God who brought us peace by raising from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ so that he would be the Great Shepherd of his flock; and by the power of the blood of the eternal covenant ²¹ may he work perfection into every part of you giving you all that you need to fulfill your destiny. And may he express through you all that is excellent and pleasing^[a] to him through your life-union with Jesus the Anointed One who is to receive all glory forever! Amen! Read full chapter”
