JESUS HAS DELIVERED US FROM THE AUTHORITY OF DARKNESS!!!!!!
Colossians 1:13-14 AMP:
“For He has rescued us and has drawn us to Himself from the dominion of darkness, and has transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the forgiveness of our sins [and the cancellation of sins’ penalty].”

Colossians 1:13-14 TPT:
[13] He has rescued us completely from the tyrannical rule (authority - “…this means the devil no longer has any authority over our lives” - Andrew Wommack) of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom realm of his beloved Son. [14] For in the Son all our sins are canceled and we have the release of redemption through his very blood. https://tbibles.com/Zz6o
Colossians 1:13-14 ESVSB (English Standard Version Study Bible) Notes:
1:13 He has delivered us. Just as God rescued his people from slavery in Egypt under the old covenant (Ex. 6:6; 14:30), he has delivered them now from the domain of darkness, that is, from the realm of Satan and the powers of evil (see Acts 26:18). the kingdom of his beloved Son. This kingdom is the same as the “kingdom of God” (or “kingdom of heaven”) that Jesus spoke of (e.g., Matt. 3:2; Mark 1:15; etc.), which was central to Jesus’ teaching throughout the four Gospels. Jesus is the agent of God who will presently reign (1 Cor. 15:24) until he hands his kingdom over to the Father, when the kingdom of God comes into its full manifestation at the end of the present age. The emphasis here is on the present lordship of Christ.
1:14 Redemption means deliverance or liberation, emphasizing here that believers have been delivered and have received forgiveness of their sins.

These verses of Scriptures in Colossians 1:13-14, proves that as Andrew Wommack said in his main Living Commentary
(https://www.awmi.net/lc/) on these verses, “we aren’t trying to get translated into God’s kingdom; we are already there, seated in heavenly places in Christ (Colossians 3:1 and Ephesians 2:6). We only need to believe what has already happened to experience the benefits.”
Andrew has a free Living Commentary online also (https://www.awmi.net/reading/online-bible-commentary/).
