Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, Healthy Living, Spirit, Soul, and Body.

Jesus didn't come to save and restore only part of us. He came to restore our whole entire being.

We are spirit, We have a soul.

We live in a body.

Each needs proper care in order for us to live an abundant, healthy life.

Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching.

Let's look at First Thessalonians chapter 5, verse 23.

First Thessalonians 5.23.

And may the God of peace himself sanctify you through and through,

that is, separate you from profane things,

make you pure and holy consecrated to God.

Everybody say holy. Holy. Now that's not H-O-L-Y, it's W-H-O-L-L-Y.

Make you holy consecrated to God and may your spirit and your soul and your body, your spirit, your soul and your body, be preserved, sound,

and complete, and found blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

Now, you are a spirit, you have a soul, you live in a body. Like one of the functions of your spirit is your conscience. Your spirit is where you receive revelation. It's where you

hear from God. Your soul is your mind, your will, your emotions, all very important parts of our being.

And then there's your body, the house that you walk around in.

And all of those are important to God.

I think too often we think he's only interested in our spirit and the spiritual parts of our lives

and the so-called spiritual activities that we engage in.

But actually, God is interested in and concerned about every area of your life.
