… 1 Thessalonians 5, 24. The one who calls you, that's God, is faithful. God is faithful. And he will do it. What does that verse mean? Whatever God calls you to do, he's going to give you the ability to do. He's going to help you do it. He's going to put his spirit in you. And if God says to do it, you can count on his anointing.

He wants to heal you. He wants to make you like Jesus, spirit, soul, and body. So what are you? You're not just a body. You're not just a body. You may say, well, I'm a body with a soul. No, You're not just a body with a soul. What you are is you are a spirit who has a soul that lives in a body. Sounds like a riddle that's hard to remember. What are you?
