Colossians 2:9-12 Part 2 of 4

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.  

over every power and authority 
Matthew 28:18  Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me."
Daniel 7:13-14  "In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed." 
Luke 10:22  "All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." 
John 3:35  The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.
John 17:2  "For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him."
1 Corinthians 15:27  For he "has put everything under his feet." (Psalm 8:6) Now when it says that "everything" has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.
Philippians 2:9-11  Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
