FEED YOUR SPIRIT-BEING HEALTHILY AND WHOLE: TO KEEP YOUR BEING – SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY – WHOLESOME!
“Now may the God of peace Himself SANCTIFY you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you PURE and WHOLE and undamaged—consecrated to Him—set apart for His purpose]; and may your SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY be kept COMPLETE and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Amplified.
There’s the need to FEED your SPIRIT-BEING healthily, in order to ensure your SOUL and BODY are blamelessly preserved in LIFE and GODLINESS until Christ Jesus Returns.
The battle of life is first on who control your well-being internally: Man is a tripartite being – spirit, soul and body. The spirit being helps us make contact to God while the soul helps us make life decisions of being in reason – intellectual, will and emotion, that’s detailed either from the human spirit or the body (flesh), while the body help make contact with the world about us in every aspect.
“The spirit of a man will SUSTAIN his INFIRMITY; but a WOUNDED spirit who can bear?” Proverbs 18:14.
“A merry HEART doeth GOOD like a MEDICINE: but a BROKEN spirit DRIETH the BONES” Proverbs 17:22.
And in the context of our healthy well-being, the soul – that’s the being between our spirit being and body expressing it, must be fully Spirit-Ruled and Spirit-Led, otherwise it will be BODY-RULED AND FLESHLY GOVERNED. The soul is the expression point of whosoever wins daily to be in charge to make it either of God or the ENEMY and COHORTS. Your soul is the hub of the will, emotion, reasoning faculties and such like. When the human spirit is in control of the soul in it’s inclination toward God by the WORD, every things in life and godliness goes healthily healthy; but if the body, more else called the flesh takes over the soul, all manners of unpleasant and unhealthy fleshy manifestation we see within us and about us are revealed
“My son, Attend to my WORDS; INCLINE thine EAR unto my SAYINGS. 21 Let them not DEPART from thine EYES; keep them in the MIDST of thine HEART. 22 For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy HEART with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES of life” Proverbs 4:20-23.
Therefore, FEED your spirit-being healthily healthy to be Spirit-Ruled by God’s WORD in order to live triumphantly, victoriously, more than conquerors and an overcoming in everyway of doing life and living godly in God’s gracious and graceful BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
