God Of Peace

1 Thessalonians 5:23,24, Amplified Bible

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).
Faithful is He who is calling you [to Himself] and utterly trustworthy, and he will also do it [fulfill His call by hallowing and keeping you].

Let’s look at the meaning of words in this scripture reference and see what we are focusing on in our verses for today.

PEACE: Means to join, one, prosperity, quietness, rest, deliverance and freedom from all the distresses experienced as a result of sin.

SANCTIFY: Means to withdraw from fellowship with the world by first gaining fellowship with God.

PROFANE: Means impure, unholy, defiled

PRESERVED: To guard from loss or injury by keeping the eye upon; to keep from destruction or decay; defend from evil; protect, save, keep intact.
INTACT: Untouched by anything that harms or defiles, left complete

SOUND: Means free from flaw, healthy, not weak or diseased, firm, strong, safe, robust of body and mind.

COMPLETE: Filled up with no part lacking

BLAMELESS: Means without fault, free from fault

Here is our confession of these verses with all the understanding we have of the words now. This is actually an all-inclusive scripture. It touches on everything that involves us. This scripture is a powerful one to meditate every day for your life.

And may the God of peace (freedom from all the distresses experienced as a result of sin) sanctify me through and through, separate me from fellowship with the world, (profane, impure things) into fellowship with Him.
May my spirit, soul and body be preserved (guarded from loss or injury, because God has His eye upon me to protect me and keep me untouched by anything that harms). My spirit, soul and body are kept free from flaw. They are healthy and not weak or diseased. They are strong. They will be found blameless, free from fault at the coming of my Lord Jesus Christ. I am complete, filled up with no part lacking.
Faithful is He Who is calling me to Himself. He is worthy to be believed. He is steadfast to His Word. He is utterly trustworthy. He will fulfill His call on my life by hallowing and keeping me.
