Introduction

Right now, ask the Holy Spirit to keep you connected to Christ. Pray this prayer. Make it your own. Share it on all your social media platforms.

Prayer

Holy Spirit, it’s easy to be deceived and place my attention on secondary issues, empty ceremonies, religious performance based solely on morals and ethics or on hyper-spirituality and mysticism. In light of this, keep Christ as my focus. Fix my eyes on His deity, lordship, power and authority. Christ rules the earth, and through Him I receive the power to rule my life.  I say “yes” to that power! Send the power of Christ through my entire spirit, soul and body. Keep me connected to Him. Let nothing pull me away from Christ, especially misguided believers that claim to know a better way. Christ is my focus. Christ is my life.  Christ is my beginning.  Christ is my ending. There is nothing without Him and there is nothing beyond Him. Center my life on Jesus.  I ask this in the name of the supreme One, Jesus Christ.

Colossians 2:8-23

See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.  In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh was put off when you were circumcised by Christ, having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness,which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink,or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind. They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow. Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings. Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.
