Ezekiel 34:27-31



True freedom comes only from the Word of God.....He will set us free! As in the Old Testament God provided the way through external, physical change He also in the New Testament provides the way through internal change in Jesus and through the power of the Holy Spirit. Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the tripartite God, evidenced in His creation, man, complete and made whole.

Thessalonians 5:23

23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. 


spirit (Gk. pneuma) (5:23; Luke 8:55; 1 Cor. 5:5) Strong’s #4151; soul (Gk. psuchē) (5:23; Eph. 6:6; Phil. 1:27) Strong’s #5590; body (Gk. sōma) (5:23; Matt. 6:22; Heb. 4:12) Strong’s #4983: This is the only place in the NT where the tripartite being of a person is implied. Yet in this passage, all three constitute a person in his or her entirety. The spirit enables a person to contact the divine Spirit and is that part of a person that the Spirit quickens at the time of regeneration (John 3:6; Rom. 8:16). The Greek word psuchē, translated soul, means “life.” The NT writers use this word to speak of a person’s personality or inward, animating essence. Finally the NT writers identify the body, a person’s physical being, as separate from one’s soul or spirit. As this verse indicates, God works from the inside out, sanctifying our entire being so that we can live with Him forever.


Ezekiel 34:27-31

They shall be safe in their land; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them from the hand of those who enslaved them. 28 And they shall no longer be a prey for the nations, nor shall beasts of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and no one shall make them afraid. 29 I will raise up for them a garden of renown, and they shall no longer be consumed with hunger in the land, nor bear the shame of the Gentiles anymore. 30 Thus they shall know that I, the Lord their God, am with them, and they, the house of Israel, are My people,” says the Lord God.’ ” 

31 “You are My flock, the flock of My pasture; you are men, and I am your God,” says the Lord God.
