Spirit, Soul and Body

Over the past few months, I've read, reread and listend to Andrew Wommack's "Spirit, Soul and Body" book and CD series.

In essence, this series has had a profound impact on my life. It's changed the way I see God, read my Bible as well as how I overcome day-to-day situations that arise. And, I'm going to recommend that if you want to know and understand what true prosperity - peace, happiness and wealth is - that you read this book!

Notice that I put "wealth" last! Because if there is one recurring theme that I find when speaking to Christian women, it's that they don't have peace and they don't know how to find it.

And usually, what they're feeling is the result of self condemnation from their past or a rehersal of what others have said to them. But the truth is, you don't have to feel condemned and you can have peace.

The apostle Paul said in Romans "there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1)." And we are told to have the mind of Christ (Philippians 2:5) as well as to prosper and be in good health, even as our soul prospers (3 John:2). What are all of these scriptures…

They are Recipes for Peace!

So if you're going through some life struggles right now, it isn't time to give up, no matter how dark the day might seem and no matter how rough the road might feel. You are an overcomer in Christ Jesus, and all you have to do is stand on God's Word.

What you focus on expands and if all you are able to think about is your problems, it will stop you seeing what God is doing and has already done. John 16:33 says…

These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

Whatever the enemy is throwing at you today, you can be confident in knowing that Jesus has already conquered him! You can overcome because Jesus overcame the world for you.

Blessings,
