And I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be
\n preserved blameless.<\/p>\n

— 1 Thessalonians 5:23<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Your whole spirit. . .” The great mystical work of the Holy Spirit
\nis in the dim regions of our personality which we cannot get at. Read
\nthe 139th Psalm; the Psalmist implies – “Thou art the God of the
\nearly mornings, the God of the late at nights, the God of the
\nmountain peaks, and the God of the sea; but, my God, my soul has
\nfurther horizons than the early mornings, deeper darkness than the
\nnights of earth, higher peaks than any mountain peaks, greater depths
\nthan any sea in nature – Thou Who art the God of all these, be my
\nGod. I cannot reach to the heights or to the depths; there are
\nmotives I cannot trace, dreams I cannot get at – my God, search me
\nout.”<\/p>\n

Do we believe that God can garrison the imagination far beyond where
\nwe can go? “The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin” – if
\nthat means in conscious experience only, may God have mercy on us.
\nThe man who has been made obtuse by sin will say he is not conscious
\nof sin. Cleansing from sin is to the very heights and depths of our
\nspirit if we will keep in the light as God is in the light, and the
\nvery Spirit that fed the life of Jesus Christ will feed the life of
\nour spirits. It is only when we are garrisoned by God with the
\nstupendous sanctity of the Holy Spirit, that spirit, soul and body
\nare preserved in unspotted integrity, undeserving of censure in God’s
\nsight, until Jesus comes.<\/p>\n

We do not allow our minds to dwell as they should on these great
\nmassive truths of God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
