Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
Col 3:17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
These are beautiful scriptures.
In the dictionary the word "let" is defined to not prevent or forbid; to allow.
synonyms: allow, permit, give permission to, give leave to, authorize, sanction, grant, grant the right to, warrant, license, empower, enable, entitle;
In the church "empower" is the popular word of choice. To empower speaks of authority and strength from a supernatural source. In my opinion the flesh likes the sound of being empowered, but it must be from Christ to allow his purpose to flow in your life. Supernatural, is another popular word. People will come from all over the world to a place where the supernatural is proclaimed. Would they come to a local church?
LET the peace of God rule in your heart. Do not prevent this from happenimg. You were called in one body of Christ, be thankful.
LET the word of Christ dwell in you richly with the Holy Ghost power, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, the wisdom coming from God in His word. We also are to LET our hearts sing praises in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. I would add, let the music glorify the Lord and from a thankful heart.
And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Do everything in the power and authority of Jesus Christ who has saved us out of the world and has LET us be partakers of his spiritual blessings.
