Colossians 1:11-14 (KJV, NIV, NLT, AMP) – “11) By Your great might Father, I am strengthened with all the endurance and perseverance necessary with joy. 12) And I thank You Abba Father, in Jesus’ Name, that You have qualified me to share in the inheritance of the saints in the Kingdom of Light. 13) For You have brought us out of the dominion of darkness into the Kingdom of Your Only Begotten Son; 14) in Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our sins.” (personalized)

God’s mighty power that gives those in Christ Jesus strength, endurance, and perseverance as we move forward in our God given assignment (against every obstacle and pressure that the evil one and his cohorts move or attempts to move onto our path through the manipulation of others, be they family, friends or foe), is of the anointing bestowed Jesus the Anointed One and His Anointing. As it is written: “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me” Philippians 4:13 (KJV). The use of “which” in the King James Version (KJV) of this Scripture references Jesus’ anointing. The Lord Jesus has the fullness of the anointing and those in Him have part of His anointing.

The WORD of God is like seed to be sown for renewal of the mind; and Scripture tells us that the thief and father of lies comes to take the message about God’s Kingdom of Light (and the precepts by which we are to operate thereof) right out of our mouth or straightaway before it can take root in the fertile soil (so to speak) of our hearts (John 10:10 & 8:44; Matthew 13:18-23). Hence, that which assists in remaining steadfast in or standing on God’s WORD in the very midst of adversity includes speaking it out loud, muttering it under one’s breath, and mulling over or meditating on it.

Therefore, using an amped-up version (Amplified Bible [AMP]) together with the King James Version (KJV) with full confidence that it is true unto me according to the WORD of God by the blood of Jesus, my confession is made personal: “I can do all things through Christ Jesus’ anointing which empowers me. I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Christ Jesus’ anointing which infuses inner strength into me. I am self-sufficient in Christ Jesus’ sufficiency” Philippians 4:13 (KJV & AMP).

Abba Father, in Jesus’ name, we thank You for Your great might that flows through us who believe (Ephesians 1:19) by the outpouring of Your Spirit. Hallelujah! Thine the glory. Hallelujah! Amen.
