Colossians 1:3-16

The gospel is to stimulate growth, to implement maturing and conform-
ity to the image of our Redeemer so we produce His fruit.

3: We are constantly praying on your behalf by giving thanks for you
to our Lord, the Anointed Redeemer of God.

4: Our thanksgiving is due to what we heard of your faith in the
Anointed Redeeemer and of the love you demonstrate to all true
Christians.

5: You demonstrated these qualities because you have laid hold of the
hope stored up and awaiting you in Heaven, a hope that you learned
from the gospel and its message of truth.

6: The same gospel that reached you, is spreading all over the world;
producing fruit and developing Christian Character just as it has
among you since the first day you heard of God's grace and came to
personally know it as it really is.

7: You learned these things from Epaphras, our beloved co-worker, who
is loyally serving the Messiah in being faithful to your well-being
and best interests.

8: and it is he who has informed us of your God given love.

9: This report has inspired our daily prayer and desire for you,
ceaselessly seeking that God fill you with complete insight into
His will so that you overflow in wisdom and spiritual understanding.

10: So that you may live out a life worthy of the Lord, which brings
Him complete satisfaction, as you produce fruit in the process of
every good action you undertake.

11: We pray that you will receive strenght from God's glorious power
so that you possess great patience and endurance joyfully.

12: Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified you and made you
fit to receive a share of the inheritance of the saints who are
living in the Kingdom of Light.

13: For He has rescued us out from the power, authority, and control
of darkness and has reestablished us, transplanted us, in the Kingdom
of the Son of His love.

14: And in Him our freedom has been purchased by His blood, which
means sins are forgiven.

15: For the Anointed Redeemer is the exact expression, the visible
likeness of the God we cannot see, in fact, the first of everything
created was born in Him.

16: For in, by, and through Him God did create all things: the things
of Heaven and of earth, the things seen and things unseen (3rd and 4th dimensions), including spiritual powers, lords, rulers, and
authorities. The whole of the universe came into being by and through
Him.

If we have been rescued out of the power of, authority of or control
of the kingdom of darkness, if we have been transplanted into the
Kingdom of the Son of His Love, what are we doing with the power we
are now a part of?
If we believe the power of the word (Isaiah 55:10,11)
1. The word causes growth so that fruit is produuced.
2. The word supplies seed to those starting the process.
3. The word supplies bread (manna) to eat until they can bring in
their crop (their fruit in their season).
4. Any word of or from God always gets the job done.
5. Any word of God we return to God will produce the intended
(not always the desired) effect.
6. The word always wins so that God derives pleasure and His
purpose is accomplished.
7. With the word comes prosperity, flowing out of its accomplish- ed purpose or end.
Then we must rise up to the level of performance of the word we have
heard. We must be doers of the word and not hearers only. Hear, see,
do, and the word will be seen through us.

Jesus came to regain what was lost-
To bring it back under Intended Purpose-
Back under Heavenly Rule-
Back in the flow of Original Intent-

We were given charge or authority over creation.
We are under-rulers, about the business of raising up under-rulers.
We must be about the process of recovering creation, which belongs
to God.
We must extend and establish Kingdom of Light rule.

Wherever we are, we are Kingdom Ambassadors-
Whatever we do, we are to be about Kingdom implementa-
tion.
At work, at school, at home, at play. We are on assign-
ment reflecting, implementing and fulfilling Kingdom.
Wherever we live or work, God has put us there to be
the out-raying of the indwelling of His presence.
God needs us to regain any and all lost ground, people,
or elements of creation, wherever we are.
