And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [separate you from profane things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to God]; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete [and found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah).It seems peace is a by-product of purity, of being so fully set apart by and for God. So if I wanted to experience peace, I need to come to Jesus and ask to be purified by His blood, which cleanses all of me: body, soul, and spirit.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 AMP
I do know my body had been given over to strange appetites. I say this of my past. I have not been faithful in being a living sacrifice. I am not so sure about the status of my soul and spirit, but who's to say my current feeling of dis-ease and internalized, unspoken dread is not a telling factor?
There's no peace. Maybe because I haven't kept myself pure. Holy crap.
I need help, All-Good God, All-Possible God. I need Your help.
