Colossians,

Colossians 4 – Bible Confessions, Meditations, and Declarations

Col 4:1. As a master and as a person in a position of authority, I give those under me what is just and fair, because I know I have a Master in Heaven.

Col 4:2. I continue earnestly in prayer, and I watch and stay vigilant in it with thanksgiving.

Col 4:3. Father, I ask that You will open to me and to all saints doors for the Word so that we will speak the mystery of Christ.

Col 4:4. That we may make manifest this mystery, as we ought to speak.

Col 4:5. I walk in wisdom toward those that are outside the Christian faith, and I redeem the time.

Col 4:6. My speech is always with grace, seasoned with salt, and I know how I ought to answer each one of them that asks me any question and I answer each one as I should.

Col 4:7. I am a beloved brother, a faithful minister and a servant in the Lord.

Col 4:11. I am a faithful worker for the Kingdom of God, and I provide comfort to other believers.

Colossians 3 – Bible Confessions, Meditations, and Declarations

Col 3:1. Because I am risen with Christ, I seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.

Col 3:2. I set my attention on things above, not on things on the earth.

Col 3:3. For I am dead and my life is hidden with Christ in God.

Col 3:4. When Christ, who is my Life, shall appear, then shall I also appear with Him in glory.

Col 3:5. For this reason, I mortify, put to death and deprive of power my members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence and covetousness, which is idolatry.

Col 3:6. Because I am in Christ, these things remain mortified in me and I will not be visited by God’s wrath as the children of disobedience are.

Col 3:7. There was a time I walked in these fleshly desires but now that I’m in Christ, I am a new creation, old things are passed away and all things have become new (2 Cor. 5:17).

Col 3:8. I also put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy and filthy communication out of my mouth.

Col 3:9. I will not lie to others, seeing that I have put off the old man with its deeds,

Col 3:10. and I have put on the New Man which is renewed in knowledge according to the image of God that created him.

Col 3:11. In Christ, there is neither Greek nor Jew, the circumcised nor the uncircumcised, the Barbarian, the Scythian, the enslaved nor the free: because Christ is all and He is in all. For this reason, I will not consider members of the Body of Christ according to their races, statuses, past and present conditions, or any discriminative factor because Christ is all I need to consider and this Christ is in us all.

Col 3:12-13. Therefore as the elect of God, holy and beloved, I put on bowels of mercies, kindness, humility of mind, meekness, and longsuffering.

Col 3:13. I forbear with others, and I freely forgive those that offend me, and if I have any quarrel or complaint against anyone or if anyone has any quarrel or complaint against me, I forgive them as Christ also forgave me.

Col 3:14. But above all these things, I put on love, which is the bond of perfection.

Col 3:15. I allow the peace of God to rule in my heart, because I was called into this when I became part of the Body of Christ. And I also stay thankful.

Col 3:16. I allow the word of Christ to dwell in me richly in all wisdom; I teach and admonish myself and others in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, and I sing with grace in my heart to the Lord.

Col 3:17. And whatever I do in word or in deed, I do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus, and I give thanks to God the Father through Him.

Col 3:18. My wife submits to me, her husband, as is fitting in the Lord.

Col 3:19. As a husband, I love my wife and I am not bitter toward her.

Col 3:20. Our children obey us, their parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord, and they please the Lord all the days of their lives.

Col 3:21. As parents, my wife and I do not provoke our children, and they do not become discouraged; they see our example and they are encouraged; therefore they serve the Lord all their days.

Col 3:22. As someone under authority, I obey in all things, those in authority over me. I do not obey them with eyeservice as a man-pleaser, but I obey them with sincerity of heart and with the fear of God.

Col 3:23. And whatever I do, I do it heartily as to the Lord and not to men; 

Col 3:24. for I know that I will receive from the Lord the reward of the inheritance, for I serve the Lord Christ.

Col 3:25. I will not be repaid with any wrong or evil for I do no wrong nor evil.

Colossians,

Colossians 2 – Bible Confessions, Meditations, and Declarations

Col 2:1. n/a

Col 2:2. Father, I ask that You will cause my heart and the heart of all saints to be encouraged, and to be knit together in love, and to attain to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ.

Col 2:3. In Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, and because Christ dwells in me, and I in Him, all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge dwell in Me; also because the Holy Spirit guides me into all Truth (John 16:13), I discover all God’s treasures dwelling in me, I receive them and I profit with them.

Col 2:4. Because I am filled with the wisdom and knowledge of God, nobody – human or spirit, visible or invisible – can deceive me, even when they come with persuasive or enticing words. I operate in the fullness of the gift of the discerning of spirits in the name of Jesus.

Col 2:5. Though I may be absent from a place physically in the flesh, yet I am able to be there in the spirit, because I am filled with all the fulness of God (Ephesians 3:19), I am led by the Spirit of God (Romans 8:14), and I am born of the Spirit of God (John 3:8).

Col 2:6. As I therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so I walk in Him.

Col 2:7. I remain rooted and built up in Him and I am continually established in the faith, as I have been taught, and I abound in this faith with thanksgiving.

Col 2:8. I will beware and I will not be cheated through philosophy or vain deceit, I will not be cheated through the traditions of men, and I will not be cheated through the basic principles of the world. But I live according to Christ.

Col 2:9. For in Christ dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, and because as Christ is, so am I in this world (1 John 4:17), therefore all the fullness of the Godhead dwells in me bodily. 

Col 2:10. And I am complete in Christ Jesus, who is the Head of all principality and power.

Col 2:11. In Christ I was also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ.

Col 2:12. I was buried with Christ in baptism, in which I also was raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.

Col 2:13. And I, being dead in my trespasses and in the uncircumcision of my flesh, God has made alive with Christ Jesus, having forgiven me all trespasses,

Col 2:14. having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against me, which was contrary to me. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

Col 2:15. Christ, having disarmed principalities and powers, made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in the cross. Therefore I have triumphed over all principalities and powers through Christ.

Col 2:16. I will let no one judge me in food or in drink, or regarding a festival, or a new moon or sabbaths,

Col 2:17. for they are a shadow of things to come but the substance is of Christ. Therefore, because I dwell, reside and abide in Christ and Christ dwells, resides and abides in me (John 15:4,7), I carry the substance of things to come and I walk in the power of the age to come (   ).

Col 2:18. I will let no one cheat me of my reward. I take no delight in false humility and worship of angels, and I intrude not into those things which I have not seen. I am not vainly puffed up. I do not possess a fleshly mind, instead, I possess a sound and renewed mind (2 Tim. 1:7, Romans 12:2).

Col 2:19. I hold fast to Christ which is my Head and the Head of the Church, and from Him all of us are nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, and we grow with the increase of God.

Col 2:20. Therefore, because I died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, I will not subject myself to regulations as though I were living in the world, (according to the commandments and doctrines of men) –

Col 2:21. things like “Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle” 

Col 2:22. because they all concern things which perish with using. 

Col 2:23. These things have an appearance of wisdom and include false worship, false humility and the neglect of the body, but they do not have any honour in the satisfying of the flesh. Therefore, I will not subject myself to man-made regulations, commandments and doctrines because even though I am in the world, I am not of the world (John 17:14, 16; John 15:19).

Colossians,

Colossians 1 – Bible Confessions, Meditations, and Declarations

Col 1:1. I am an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God.

Col 1:2. I am a saint and a faithful brother in Christ. I receive grace and peace from God my Father and from my Lord Jesus Christ.

Col 1:3. Jesus Christ is my Lord, Friend and Brother, and God is our God and Father. Therefore I give thanks to the God and Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, Who is also my God and Father.

Col 1:4. I declare that I am filled with faith in Christ Jesus and I am filled with love for all the saints.

Col 1:5. There is a hope that is laid up for me in heaven, of which I heard before in the Word of the Truth of the Gospel.

Col 1:6. The Word of the Truth of the Gospel has come to me and it keeps bringing forth fruit in me and in all the world; it has been in me since the day I heard and knew the grace of God in Truth. I have heard and I know the grace of God in truth, therefore the Word of the Truth of the Gospel which has come to me keeps bringing forth fruit in me and in all the world.

Col 1:7. I am a faithful minister of Christ on behalf of the Church, which is the Body of Christ.

Col 1:8. I am filled with love in the Spirit and I declare and exemplify this love to others.

Col 1:10. I ask that You will help me to walk worthy of You Lord, fully pleasing You, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in Your knowledge, o God.

Col 1:11. Lord I ask that you will strengthen me with all might, according to Your glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy.

Col 1:12. I give thanks to You Father, for You have qualified me to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

Col 1:13. Father, You have delivered me from the power of darkness and You have translated me into the Kingdom of the Son of Your love.

Col 1:14. In Christ Jesus, the Son of Your love, I have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

Col 1:15. Christ is the image of the invisible God, the Firstborn over all creation, and I am likewise made in the image of the invisible God (Gen. 1:26), God delights in me, for I am part of His creation (   ) and I am the work of His hand. I am also one with Christ (  ).

Col 1:16. By Christ, all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. Therefore, I was created by Christ, through Christ and for Christ. And according as it is written, I declare that I am one with Christ and all things are for my sake, including all principalities, powers, angels, all things, and indeed all of God’s creation, seen and unseen… All are for my sake.

Col 1:17. Christ is before all things, and in Him all things consist. I consist and I belong in Christ.

Col 1:18. Christ is the Head of the body, the Church, therefore Christ is my Head. He is the Beginning, the Firstborn from the dead, and in all things He has pre-eminence; Christ is my Beginning, He is my Source, with Him I died and with Him, I have been raised from the dead and He has the pre-eminence in my life and affairs for I am a member of His Body and He is my Head.

Col 1:19. It pleased the Father that in Christ all the fullness should dwell, and because Christ is in me and I am in Him, and because I am one together with Christ (   ), therefore, all the fullness of God dwells in me and I receive all the fullness of God (Eph 3:19).

Col 1:20. By Christ, God has reconciled all things to Himself, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross; therefore by Christ I am reconciled to God, because Christ has made peace with God on my behalf through the blood of His cross.

Col 1:21. And I, who once was alienated and an enemy in my mind by wicked works, yet now Christ has reconciled

Col 1:22. in the body of His flesh through death, to present me holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight. Therefore, I declare that I am holy, blameless and above reproach in God’s sight.

Col 1:23. This is because I continue in the faith, I remain grounded and steadfast, and I am not moved away from the hope of the Gospel which I heard, which was preached to me, as well as to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Emmanuel, have become a minister.

Col 1:24. I rejoice in whatever suffering I am accounted worthy of, for the body of Christ, and I fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the Church.

Col 1:25. I have become a minister of the Church according to the stewardship from God which is given to me for the Body of Christ, to fulfil the Word of God.

Col 1:26. The mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, is now revealed to me, God’s saint.
