Colossians 2:10 Season 2, Episode 10
Joy’s Notes from Sept 22 study on
Col 2:10
1. “So I am COMPLETE (brought to fullness)
2. through my UNION with Christ,
3. who is the HEAD over EVERY ruler and authority”
——————
1. “I AM COMPLETE & brought to FULLNESS”
• My inner wet dry vacuum—
• You MUST have the ingredient I “NEED” to be full.
Others can’t give me a DIVINE INGREDIENT of what they don’t have🤯
• Prov 27:7
“A person who is FULL (on living bread) refuses even honey from the comb, but even bitter food tastes sweet to the HUNGRY.”
• Have you been feasting on “bitter food” because your heart is hungry ?
(Alcohol, binge eating, people, need to please, porn, etc)
Leaves me worse off then when I began!!
—>Still hungry & never satisfied
• GOD FEEDS US DAILY MANNA (day by day Bible study)
And we’re FULL— too full for satans bait!
• Manna meant “what is it?”
• The world doesn’t recognize His manna of Living Bread
• We easily miss the BREAD THAT FEEDS US TO COMPLETENESS because it’s not what we expected— “WHAT IS IT?”
Eph 1:3
“Praise be to the God who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with E V E R Y spiritual blessing in Christ.
SPIRITUAL BLESSING of GODS MANNA=
(Power, fruits— love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control-forgiveness, a sound mind, stillness, a confident hope, security, provision, boldness, courage, stability, humility, wisdom, discernment, patient endurance, identity, inheritance, redemption, rest, favor, salvation, etc)
WE LACK NOTHING!!!
👇
Psalm 23:1
“ The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.”
• “God equips me with ALL I need to do His will.” Heb 13:21
John 15:1-5
• “ I am the true vine, and my father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it’ll be even more fruitful. REMAIN in me, as I also REMAIN in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself, it must REMAIN on the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you REMAIN in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. If you REMAIN in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit. Apart from me you can do NOTHING.”
REMAIN= 5x
S A P : (the Holy Spirit)
👇
“Filled with nutrients and minerals, sap is the blood of a grapevine.
It carries WATER (Living Water) into all the branches to keep them hydrated & well fed
Trellis is a support beam holding up the vines
GOD: Gardner
Jesus: Vine
HolySpirit: Sap
Me: Branch
Others: Trellis
= UNION
———————
2. (“I am complete) THROUGH MY UNION W/ CHRIST(oneness, together, harmony) WITH CHRIST
(I can’t be COMPLETE without my UNION w/ Christ)
• psalm 133:1-2
“How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in UNION! For UNITY is like precious oil poured on the HEAD.”
• a wild ox dispenses oil over body when threatened by enemy.
• The enemy SLIPS right off the ox !🙌
When we’re FIRST in union with God (& then with others) there’s an oil that’s POURED all over our H E A D (where the real battle is waged!!!)
————————-
3. “Christ is HEAD over every ruler & authority“(am I my own ruler?)
• Satan doesn’t want GOD to be your HEAD ruler OR to be guardian of your HEAD! (mind)
Satan has NO STRENGTH over me! Just STRATEGY!! 🙌(Steven furtick)
Do you have such UNITY— that the oil being poured over your HEAD keeps Satan sliding out of your HEAD???
(SHOW ME THE FATHER — orphan story) she had a home full of EVERY RESOURCE SHE COULD EVER DREAM OF— but in her HEAD; she still had nothing
👉What we believe and think (OUR HEAD) impacts how we BEHAVE
• The enemy has no power/strength over you— so he uses strategy!!!!
Rom 12:2
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
• I wont be able to fulfill the very purpose and calling on my life, unless God is HEAD RULER of my life & RULER OF MY HEAD !!!
This is why satans full time occupation is to cause DIS-UNITY (no oil) between you & God ! (Kelly Wright)
——————-
HOW DO I DO THIS?
2 cor 10:5
“We demolish arguments of every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”
• child example— reminding them over & over of the rules.
• WE MUST TREAT OUR SOUL (mind will emotion) LIKE A CHILD!
• “any thought that I don’t take captive, takes me captive!” -jimmy evans
•’1 cor 2:11
“No one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit.
And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things & thoughts God has freely given us.”
• Whoever controls my HEAD, controls me!
Jer 29:11
“For I know the THOUGHTS that I THINK towards you, says the LORD, THOUGHTS of PEACE and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” KJV
👇
• If I take on the mind of Christ, my thoughts will be of peace and not evil. Thoughts that I have a future and a hope
• Any thought that doesn’t do this—- take captive!!!!
• Psalm 139:17-18
“How PRECIOUS are your THOUGHTS about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me! (Having MORE thoughts about me♥️)
When I take on the mind of Christ, (by making him my “HEAD”,) I receive all the “PRECIOUS THOUGHTS “ He has for me— more than the grains of the sand!
AFTER= demolishing lying THOUGHTS from Satan , we MUST REPLACE IT WITH OUR TRUE IDENTITY!
👉 Write down your identity!
I AM...

H O W T O :
1. Meditate on his word (the TRUTH will set you free!!)
(Let His Word REVEAL lies you’ve been believing as your truth
👉REPROGRAM YOUR
MIND
(any bird can fly into a barn, but when I build a nest for it, that’s when it becomes SIN)
James 1:21 “God’s Word has the POWER to save your soul!”
2. Recognize Facts VS. truth
(Satan uses facts & God uses truth) It’s the truth that’ll set us free! God’s Truth (because he is truth) always over-rides & demolishes the accuser’s “facts.”
3. JOURNAL- Write out prayers & bring every thought that opposes your identity & combat it with truth!
4. RED PEN! Write out TWO lists. 1. My confession (need for forgiveness). 2. Ways I need to forgive others that have wounded me. (“And whatever my feelings will not yet allow for, the blood of Jesus will surely cover”)
R E D P E N
• don’t allow Unforgiveness to BLOCK the destiny waiting for me!
BOB TUCKER- dragging people around by a chain around my ankle-every person i haven’t forgiven!
2 cor 10:3-4
“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are NOT the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.”
👉 EVERY THOUGHT MUST BE Washed over by the Blood of the Lamb
• “They OVERCAME SATAN: by the blood of the Lamb & the Word of their testimony” 🙌 (rev 12:11)
