Col 2:9 For IN HIM dwelleth ALL the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, which is the HEAD OF ALL principality[ruler] and power[authority]:

Some say that being born again is the first step after which you will need to follow some other stringent rules in other to guarantee your place in heaven or to find favor with God. They say you will have to do a set of other things to stay in the good books of God.

Have you ever heard this, "you will have to Pay price to work in this or that anointing"? Let me just tell you this, Christ has paid all the price for you there is to pay. Any other price you think your are paying or should pay is fruitless. Please don't stop reading, continue on.

Any thing or process you are going through now by the help of the Holy Ghost for spiritual growth-what you may be tempted to call paying price, is nothing but applying yourself to grow in the knowledge of the depth and benefits of the price Christ had already paid. Please understand this, You are not the one paying anything. Imagine your father spending 10 years of his life savings for a car he wants to get you for your sixteenth birthday and you, after getting this car go around telling your friends of the price you payed learning to actually drive the car. Isn't that what you were suppose to do after such a gift? It is no price - your dad did the price paying.

So also is your journey to spiritual maturity in Christ, it is a duty not a price. You see, you actually owe it to yourself to study and pray so as to getting a revelation about such great a love displayed by God your Father in sending His Son to die on the cross for you, then sending the Holy Spirit in your heart to teach about the very same love.

The Word of God from the above verses is presenting to us that the believer is Completed, perfected and filled in Christ(that is, in his or her Spirit) Who is the Head of all principality and power.

Heb 10:14 For by one offering he[CHRIST JESUS] HATH PERFECTED FOR EVER them[THE BELIEVER] that are SANCTIFIED.

Notice the term "hath" as stated in the above verse, notice that it is in the past tense. This signifies that the perfection is a done deal for anyone that will receive Christ, that is become sactified in Him.

The perfection is both forever! So there should be no addendum whatsoever.

It is very strange when a Believer in Christ is asked to come out for deliverance. Deliverance from what? from Christ? Some would say deliverance from generational curses or from family alters. Family what? Don't you know who you are in Christ? Colosians 1:13,

13 Who HATH DELIVERED US from the POWER[authority, jurisdiction, liberty, right, strength] of darkness, and hath TRANSLATED[transferred] US INTO THE KINGDOM OF HIS DEAR SON[Son of His Love]:

Yes Believers may be oppressed, depressed, or obsessed by spiritual forces contrary to Christ, and the term "deliverance" may be used while referring to setting them free from such bondage, however it is not consistent with scripture. The term deliverance is used in the Word of God referring only to the one time deliverance from the kingdom of darkness to light.

Any other experience we may call deliverance apart from the translation from one kingdom to the other is in reality a manifestation of the former.

Don't you no that you are in this world but not of the world, and that the things that is true for others cannot be true for you unless you allow it? Don't you know that you have been delivered from the power and authority of generational curses or foundation alters and from the devil and his cohorts into the Kingdom of light.

Don't you know that you are dead to the things of this world?

Col 3:3 For YE ARE DEAD, and YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then SHALL YE ALSO APPEAR WITH HIM IN GLORY.

The life you now life as a Believer you are living as Christ; for your life and His life has become intertwined together. Your spirit has become lost and merged as one in His Spirit(1Cor 6:17), that's why as He is in Heaven right now so are you in this world(1John 4:17.)

The Believer in Christ is very complete in Him. So if the believer is complete and perfected, where is the place of spiritual growth?

Spiritual growth is a teaching for another day, but what I will say now about it is that, spiritual growth is the process of retraining the mind to align its self with the Word and the new reality which the Believer has entered in Christ. This should be accomplished by the studying of the Word. It is the Believer growing in knowledge so as to use appropriately everything that is available to him or her in Christ.

Col 2:20 If you have died with Christ to the elemental spirits of the world, WHY DO YOU SUBMIT TO THEM as though you lived in the world?[NET].

Do not submit one day to what limited your parents and blood line, do not subscribe to it one bit. Exercise and exert your authority against them; you do this by constantly keeping the Word in your mouth, keep confessing who you are now in Christ.

Were you blessed

Confess this: I am complete in Christ Jesus. What happened to my ancestry has no power against me whatsoever, my life is perfectly hid in Christ.
