Colossians
3:1-17
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your
hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set
your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your
life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your life,
appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. 5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs
to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and
greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 7 You
used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8 But now you must also
rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and
filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have
taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self,
which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11 Here there
is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave
or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. 12 Therefore, as God’s chosen
people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness,
humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one
another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in
perfect unity. 15 Let the peace of
Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to
peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as
you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and
songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And
whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
God blew His breath into us so we are now Kings and Queens.
But if we’re not trained in our birth right, as citizens of God we are useless
to Him. Yes we are royalty, ambassadors
for Christ destined to take over the world through love. God must know and see we are binding things
on earth and releasing from heaven righteousness, truth, healing, justice and love
for all nations. We are to reveal these things in our everyday walk to make
Christ and our Father reveal themselves as John 14 explains. We must die to
ourselves and this world knowing that with faith there is a better life to come
on Earth and in Heaven. God states in
Revelations that there will be no cowards in Heaven. Jesus died daily to all the earthly pleasures
knowing where He came from and where He was to return. Where joy, love, peace and happiness flowed 24
hours a day. As it is commanded here on
Earth, Harmony. So as we see our Earth being terrorized by satan. It is only because God allows it since we won’t
mount up and armor up in the fruits of the spirit of God. Casting every type of
form of love on any and everything we see. Blasting satan out of the water. Call
your new life into existence God did way before this world ever began.
Sincerely,
Vincent Young, Christian Analyst
