Page 55 - Shalom: The Peace That Comes From Being Whole
P. 55

this, “And may the very God of shalom, sanc-
        tify me wholly. May my whole spirit, and my
        whole soul, and my whole body be preserved
        blameless unto the coming of my Lord Jesus
        Christ. Faithful is He who called me, who also
        does it.”
          The God of shalom wants me whole in my
        spirit, in my soul (mind, will, and emotions),
        and in my body. And He has done it; He has
        made all provision for it.
          I walk in it by faith. I believe it in my heart.
        And I say it with my mouth. For faith is in two
        places, in one’s heart and in one’s mouth. I
        have what I say (Mark 11:23).

                   Peace of Mind
        Almost 50 years ago I learned how to walk in
        the peace of mind God gives. I heard a great
        man of God teach that we should practice
        Philippians 4:6-8 as if we were in a chess game
        with God.
            Phil. 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every
            thing by prayer and supplication with thanks-
            giving let your requests be made known unto
            God.
            Phil. 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth
            all understanding, shall keep your hearts and
            minds through Christ Jesus.
