May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
The word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. Hebrews 4:12
Gods pattern is spirit, soul, body in that order, according to 1 Thessalonians. Yet most of us live our lives in the opposite, leading from our bodily appetites and soul satisfactions. Gods design is that we respond to Him and live out of our spirits led by His Spirit. Our spirit should lead our soul and body to glorify Jesus. Jesus in His humanity let His Father be seen in all His glory. Every day we have to choose to let Jesus in us respond from our spirits, instead of reacting from our souls and bodies.

About the Author
Sylvia Gunter's life message has been who God is and who we are in Him. The vision statement of her ministry is to be always doing her Fathers business (Luke 2:49). That includes distributing resources and inspiration for Christians to develop a lifestyle of intimacy with God; resourcing them to know their Father through His names in praise and worship; setting the captives free through prayer and blessing to nurture identity in Christ; and coming alongside people hungry for the now presence of Jesus living in them to live through them by His Spirit.
