Read Colossians 2 in context

Scripture Focus

14Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

15And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Colossians 2:14-15

Biblical Context

Colossians 2:14-15 describes wiping out the written record against us and nailing it to the cross. It also proclaims that powers and principalities are openly defeated, triumphing in the cross.

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the handwriting is not parchment but your belief in debt, guilt, and limitation. The cross is not a place in time but a shift in consciousness—an agreement with I AM within you that the old ordinances are null and void. When you imagine from the state I am free, you blot out every clause that opposed you and nail it away. The powers you fear—fear itself, lack, failure, and separation—are spoiled and displayed in your inner sight as powerless before your realized oneness with God. In that moment, you are not visiting a future triumph; you are the triumph itself, now. The law of your life is not the letter but the living presence of God within. Let the mind rest in this truth and dwell there until your inner conviction becomes outer experience, for imagination is the act by which God creates reality within your awareness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already free; declare I AM within you is all-powerful. Visualize tearing up the old handwriting of debt and nailing it to the cross, then stand in the triumph that follows.
