One of the most beautiful words to me in the
English language is the word – wholeness.
It is beautiful because when you’re
walking in wholeness, your life is a beautiful life.
Deep inside every one of us we crave to be completely
whole, because God created us to be that way – complete and satisfied in every area of our lives.
One of
the greatest keys to experiencing wholeness is the Peace of God. Peace is more than just
experiencing outer circumstances of quietness and tranquility – because most of the time, life is just not that way.
However,
you can experience inner – quietness and tranquility even when circumstances go awry, if you’re connected
to the force of God’s peace, and consequently, all will be well with you.
This peace doesn’t just equip you and
protect you in the midst of the circumstances and trials you’re encountering now or will face in the future –
but it embodies the ability to heal, restore, and make you whole from any and everything you’ve experienced in the past.
I found
that out a few years ago after I had experienced a situation that was very emotionally devastating . That peace is still so beautifully doing its powerful
work in my life. ( So now I can pass on this revealed knowledge to you).
The devil often tries to do things to make us feel sick at heart.
One such instance is in Mark 5.25-34, where we see the account of the woman with the issue
of blood.
At this point, she was
not only sick in body (with no hope of a cure), but was also depleted of all her finances, and was(no doubt) probably very sick at heart.
Yet, in verse 27, “When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched the
hem of His garment.”
No matter how hopeless a situation can look, we should never fail to do
what this woman did – when she heard about Jesus, she ran to Him.
In any situation, He should be the first we run to – because He is the Answer!
The rest of the story is – she was completely healed and restored.
The
part I want to focus on is verse 34: And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you whole. Go in peace….”
Peace in Hebrew is
translated – “Nothing missing, nothing broken, - wholeness.”
So if
you plug that definition into the above verse it then reads – “…. Your faith
has made you whole, now go in your wholeness.”
When God spoke those words to me, it was like
an explosion went off in my spirit – my whole perspective on life and the things I was dealing with changed drastically.
That’s
what the peace of God will do for any and every one who will take hold of it.
And when wholeness takes hold of your life –
even if everything you’re believing for hasn’t manifested in the natural yet – that wholeness will produce
in your heart and soul such a reality of absolute completeness that it will seem as if it’s already come to pass.
Every
benefit of our covenant with God is for now. While there is a process
for the fulfillment of every one of those benefits – the promises of God are always present tense.
Actually,
God’s words are promises to us – but they are prophecies to Him.

Everything He says comes to pass because
He believes what He says.
Now we must believe what He says – and it is His peace and His love working
in us that will connect us to the fulfillment of His Word in our life.
God doesn’t desire anything other than for
you to be completely whole in every area of your life.
I Thessalonians 5.23-24 (Message) says:
“May God Himself, the God Who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together – spirit, soul, body – and keep you fit for the
coming of our Master, Jesus Christ. The One Who called
you is completely dependable. If He said it, He will
do it.”
He wants to put you together. He wants to make you so complete so that you can
say as Psalm 55.18 (MSG) declares – “My life is well and whole, secure
in the middle of danger….”
A life of wholeness is a life of security, protection, peace of mind and heart,
satisfaction, prosperity in spirit, soul, body, financially, relationally.
God wants you whole!
Ever since the first time I read
the book of Psalms in the Message translation years ago, one verse that stuck permanently in my spirit was Psalm 119.80.
“And let me live whole and holy, soul and body, so I can always
walk with my head held high.”
….to live whole and holy, soul and body…. Doesn’t that sound beautiful?
What’s
more, that’s not just a nice-sounding phrase – those words are God-breathed, straight from His heart for
us.
The Word records that Jesus ever lives to make intercession for us. Well, what do you think He is interceding
about?
He is declaring His peace, His wholeness over us day and night without any let up!
“These things I have
spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world
you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer – I have overcome the world.” –
John 16.33
“And the peace of God – a peace so wonderful that it cannot be compared to any other type of peace; a peace
that stands in a category itself and rises far above and goes beyond any thing the human mind could ever think, reason, imagine,
or produce by itself – will stand at the entrance of your heart and mind, working like a guard to control, monitor and
screen everything that tries to access your mind, heart, and emotions.” [Ephesians 4.7 – Rick Renner Paraphrase from Sparkling Gems]
Let the peace of God dwell
in you richly!
Meditate on His peace, His wholeness until it becomes a full reality
in your heart and in your life.
Allow that peace to make you whole and holy, soul and body – by giving your attention
entirely to it.
You have believed the Word, you have stood on the Word – Now let peace do its work….….your faith has made you whole – Now go in your
wholeness.
If you will let it, the peace of God which transcends all human understanding, will
establish you in every good and desirable thing you
could ever ask or dream of –
and most of all,
it will bring you to the place called
Completely Whole
