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

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.
