The
Alignment of Body, Soul, Spirit
God
is Trinity
(1 John 5:7 NKJV): The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. And He created us in His image—male and
female (Genesis 1:27 NKJV). Because we
are made in the image and likeness of God, human beings are also three-fold:
Spirit, Soul, and Body:
“Now
may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit,
soul, and body be presented blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ” (1
Thessalonians 5:23).
To sanctify
means “to cleanse”—to wash away any filth, contamination, dirt and to present
you holy, glowing, full of light. The “whole” of you refers to your total
being:
2) Your Soul is what
“drives” you to think, speak and act.
The soul sits at the steering wheel of your mind (or emotions) and moves
you forward, or backward (in reverse), or to the left, or to the right.
Who controls how the soul is “driven”?
Well,
your body (which is flesh) and your soul—your heart (or the centre of your
mind/emotions) must decide about . . .
That’s
why this prayer in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 is very critical to the believer in
Jesus Christ and to anyone who is searching for PEACE. Unless
you understand the dynamic trio of which you are made up of, you cannot find
that perfect peace you long for. YOU ARE OUT OF ALIGNMENT.
That’s
why the Bible emphatically tells us that You [God, the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit] will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind [soul] is stayed on You (Isaiah 26:3 NKJV). The body must agree with the soul that it
will allow the Holy Spirit of God to direct (“drive”) or to lead it—in perfect
harmony, as One. God is One. Not until these three entities of who you are
come together as one, will you experience the peace that brings your
heart-mind—your soul—pure joy while on earth (John 14:27; Psalm 30:5). And, when the physical body dies, that same
joyful soul will enter blameless into the holy presence of Jesus Christ forever
and ever. Amen.
A Prayer For Perfect Alignment
of Body, Soul And Spirit
Dear
Heavenly Father,
I
thank you for my life and for Your Word to guide me as my life’s manual. When I accepted You as my Lord and Saviour, I
became a new creation. My past sins were
washed away. You sanctified me and made
me whole. Now I walk in the beautiful light of Christianity. And yet, at times, I get tired and weary and
worried. Help me, Lord to keep my body, soul and
spirit in alignment and in tune to Your holy directives for my life. This old world wants to knock me out of the
Christian race, and I’m holding on as best as I can to You, O Lord. But now I realize that I must let go of the
things that keep me far away from You.
Help me to keep my eyes from indulging in watching ungodly programs.
Help my tongue to keep quiet and to move away from gossipers, whisperers, and
those who blaspheme (misuse) Your name.
Help my hands and feet to stay out of business that has nothing to do
with my relationship with you Jesus. Lead me Lord and I will follow. Amen.
