We are nearly there. I'm going to hit record here to the cloud.
Okay, it looks like we're, looks like we're live. So all you Dr. Robin, I'll hand it over to you.
Okay, hello again everyone.
So technology, are we live here?
Hello, I don't, not quite seeing, so apologies here people, just not sure if I'm actually on
screen here yet. Yes, I see you on the Facebook channel, so you're, you're looking good.
We're going. Okay, hi everyone. Dear me, sincere apologies. Technology,
when it's, so we're speaking God owns the airways. So, so just speak stability over this,
this channel and stability over this recording as, as we go to send this out. So there's a,
an important message here, I think for everyone. So I'll start from the beginning again,
as we did yesterday. And thank you for your patience. You're, we're nearly 20 minutes behind.
So this is my second presentation, myself. And what, what I'm talking on today is the concept
of the triune God, triune man. So God said that he made us in our image. He didn't say his image,
he said our image. So God, Father, God, Son, God, Holy Spirit, the three in one.
And it's not like they're actually three separate beings, they can operate as separate beings,
but they are in one. And there's this beautiful dance, as we're God, the Father, God, the Son,
God, the Holy Spirit, God altogether, God separate, it's, it's a beautiful dance.
And so God made us in that image, the triune image. And so we are triune, we are body,
soul, spirit, sort of separate, but simultaneous, interwoven, but you can separate it out if you
need to just sort of look at things. So that's how God made us, that's who God made us to be.
So I will shortly share slides so you can see what I'm what I'm talking about.
First time I spoke about the disconnect, how God made us and put us in the garden.
We lost garden, chose to eat from the tree of knowledge, man making ourselves God, that what
we knew was better. And so we lost that connection with God. The first thing we lost was connection
with God. And then we lost the connection with creation. And you see, track through the ages
of progressive disconnect, and how more and more things became disconnected. And the more we
disconnected, the more we moved into a place of chronic ill health and disease such that the
world has not not seen before. And that's where we are now. So we look to how do we restore that.
So coming down to the personal coming down to the share to sorry to the the ourselves the body,
soul, spirit. So I'll jump into this and hopefully this is going to open up for us. So So here we are.
So it doesn't want to move forward. There we go. Father, Son, Holy Spirit made in our image. And
so here it is separated out for us, body, soul, spirit. And you can also you can almost imagine
an interface between each one of those because particular things happen on those, those interfaces,
but really, it's together all the time. It's this interwoven thing. Oh, we have these things called
neuro peptides, neurologically acting protein particles. So neuro peptides were first really
discovered by a clever scientist by the name of Candice Perden a number of years ago.
And she wrote a brilliant book, the molecules of emotions, I'm going to talk a little more about
that further on. So there's this connection between the body and the soul via neuro peptides.
But there's another connection between the soul and the spirit. And that happens in the energetic
field, we are energy beings, we are vibrational beings, we operate on particular frequencies,
which can be measured, there's real science behind that. It's not just the realm of, of the crazies.
So so what's the bioenergetics direct is, because really, there's quite a lot in all of this,
I'm not going to unpack all of that today, this is something that will come, you know,
in the course later on. But this is just an overview. So as I said, we are electrical,
every time we think it's an electrical impulse, every movement we make, it's an electrical
impulse. And we operate on particular frequencies, the earth
as a whole operates around what we call the Schumann frequency.
Our thoughts have particular different frequencies.
And depending on what state the brain is,
these range from about four hertz up to about 20 hertz.
Our heart, of course, has a frequency that the heartbeat
is initiated by an electrical trigger in what's called the sinoatrial node.
And there's a synchronicity that needs to occur
when we're in good health between the heart and the brain.
And underneath all that is the concept of of the quantum mechanics
and the energetics in quantum mechanics.
So there's this energy spirit interface, and that can be disrupted
very much and affected by all the psychoactive medications.
And again, I'll talk a lot more about that. Another.
Spirit, it's not spirit or force in us.
God breathed his spirit into us.
He made us out of dust, breathed his spirit into us.
And that life force is carried through our body with each breath
that we take, that life force is carried through the body.
You never I'm not sure how many have have been with someone
when they died, but they always take a breath out.
They always exhale.
And the spirit, as it were, lives on that breath.
So body, soul, spirit.
And that arrow is representing that life force of the spirit
flowing through the body, bringing life into the body.
So back to the body.
The word says we are a temple and what is a temple
and God, Jesus, Holy Spirit literally resides in that temple.
That's the whole thing about the Feast of Tabernacles.
God tabernacled in us.
Not just God tabernacled in the temple.
God tabernacled with us.
God tabernacled in us.
So our body is a temple, a holy place.
Our body is a temple.
And the word also speaks about it as as being clothing.
Paul talks about when we wrap up, fold up this body like a tent.
Talks about putting on the immortal like like a piece of clothing
that we put on.
So the body is clothing us.
And the body is also a reflection of the earth.
It's it's you could regard it as a microcosm of the earth.
So the earth, two thirds of the earth is covered in saltwater.
So we are actually two thirds water.
We're not actually solid like we think we are.
We are actually a bag of saltwater.
And in that bag of saltwater, we have these suspended minerals
and they move about and they do things being operated on
by our bodies, natural chemicals and electrical signaling.
But we are minerals suspended in a bag of water.
So what about a temple?
So, you know, we've got a lot of temples.
We've got a lot of ancient temples, haven't we, around the place.
But when you look at them, you can see why you see the hints
of the previous grandeur that was there.
They've lost that grandeur.
So. That
gives us some clues.
Where is our architects?
So the DNA, our genetic blueprint that God made,
and that's his original plan for us.
So for that plan, that architect's plan to get converted to a temple,
a structure of a beauty worthy for people to come and worship at.
It needs quality materials,
no matter how good that architect in a temple is,
not the beautiful structure that was originally envisaged.
So we need quality materials.
What are those quality materials for us?
Quality foods, real foods, food that God made,
foods that are part of his creation, that are organic,
wherever possible, or freshly picked, freshly harvested.
So quality materials.
And then you need a site foreman.
You need a someone who is going to be telling,
directing where and how those materials get put together.
Who reads them, instructs others how to do that.
So that's our brain. That's our nervous system.
So this is this is what's overseeing everything and directing everything.
The brain and our nervous system.
Then you'll have the messengers that will take those those messages
from the site foreman down to laborers around the place.
And those messengers will be in our case,
we have a lot of messaging systems.
We have a lot of different messaging systems.
So, yes, the nervous system.
Yes, hormones are another key, one of the messengers, and interestingly, foods actually
will act as messengers and signals into our body also.
And then you have the labourers, the ones who are actually going to do things.
And so these can be your background cells, can be regarded as labourers that move about
and do the things according to the architect's plan.
There are quite a few other groups of labourers in our body.
So say that makes the original temple.
But after it's made, if all you do is make it and leave it, if you originally put it
together and say, an example for us, say the mum has had perfect nutrition through pregnancy,
baby is born, beautiful, perfect baby, everything is beautiful.
But then after that, the child isn't properly fed, things go wrong.
We die in childhood.
But then as you come into your teen years or 20s, you think it doesn't matter, food,
it just I'll live how I want to live, do what I want to do.
Or we come to our old years, and again, we get lazy, and it's too much trouble, we'll
just do tea and toast.
We're not maintaining the temple.
And what happens is over time, it deteriorates, might not happen immediately, it might take
a few years, it might take many years, but it will deteriorate if it's not well maintained.
And the maintenance needs to be to the same level of quality as the original temple.
Otherwise, we're no longer fulfilling that architect's design.
So our bodies are a temple worthy of God to be able to reside in us.
And so our job, he gave the design plan, we didn't have any part to play in any of
the design plan or the initial setup.
But once we have that temple, we do have the role, we do have the responsibility for its
maintenance.
So looking back again, so we've now said the body made out of the dust, water, the life
in it, it's a temple, the neuro peptides that connect to the soul.
So what about the soul?
So the soul has three main components.
So we can open the soul out and we can we can look at it in these three main components.
So the first is feelings, our emotions, what we feel, and that's a very powerful driver
for most of us.
And then there's the will, which is our ability.
So back to those neuro peptides that are between the body and the soul.
Something happens in the body.
If you incur an injury, if you've just had the flu or COVID, if you've had something
happen to the body, neuro peptides will be created that will carry that message through
to the soul.
And you will feel an emotion related to what has happened in the body.
Many of us will remember having had a well, again, it applies very much to COVID.
But what we call what is being labeled as long COVID, it'll happen with any flu or most
chronic illnesses.
After an illness, we feel, what do we feel sad, depressed.
That's a pure neurochemical biochemical effect that is being told to the body, told to the
feelings by what has happened in the body and the neuro peptides are carrying that message
around into the body.
So the body communicates with the soul with the feelings by these neuro peptides, but
it's a two way street.
If you are feeling sad, angry, afraid, particular neuro peptides are generated that carry that
message back into the body and the body responds and the body feels it.
And so this is part of the mechanism for locked in memories, what we call body memory, that
the body will have a registry of things that have happened and it'll feel it.
So the liver is said to be, for example, the organ of anger and bitterness and resentment.
And so if things have happened emotionally, and you've stored anger, bitterness, resentment,
it is said to be able to be stored in the liver and affect the liver energies and the
liver function.
So the kidneys are said to be the organ of fear.
The lungs are the organ of fear.
grief of sadness. And that makes sense, doesn't it? When you think about it, when you really sad,
what do you do you sigh to your lungs. So there's this two way street between the body and the soul
and in particular feelings that is that is largely done via the neuro peptides.
So part of how that the other part of how this will be conveyed is is the autonomic
nervous system. So again, I'm going to be saying a lot more about this as we unpack the course.
But suffice to say, there are basically two arms to the autonomic, you could also think in your
mind automatic nervous system. So this is subconscious, right? The autonomic nervous
system all operates subconsciously. So there's the sympathetic SNS for short, and the parasympathetic
and I should have put their PNS for short. So your sympathetic is if you like primitive
reactive system, this is the alarm nervous system throughout the body. And this is the
part of the nervous system that generates the flight fright fight response, the body's automatic
response to danger. Sympathetic nervous system instead, and if the body isn't in a state of if
we're not in a state of wellness, if we're not doing things right, if too much has gone wrong,
the body can get locked in a sympathetic nervous system activation state.
Parasympathetic nervous system is the for want of a better word, the mature nervous system,
this develops. Later on, early babies have a strongly functioning sympathetic nervous system,
they need to develop their parasympathetic. Again, I'll talk a lot more about this later.
But the parasympathetic nervous system is largely the nervous system for rest and digest and repair.
So you see, it's a very different response, isn't it? What does God say? He says, fear not,
he says, do not be in fear. He says, rest in me. Rest in me. So he is telling us that we're not
to live in a sympathetic state, we're to learn how to activate our parasympathetic.
So back again to this, this breakdown of the soul. So you're beginning to get a feel of this,
we have our feelings, our emotions. And the default setting for those feelings and emotions,
if you like, is the sympathetic nervous system, the flight, flight, flight, that's our default
setting. Then we have the thoughts which are held in our mind. So another distinction,
our feelings are largely throughout our body, but our thoughts are in our mind, in our brain.
And then the choice. So we say within our sympathetic nervous system has been activated,
it's our default system, something's happened, we've gone into alarm mode. And depending on our
particular personality, constitutional type, and the things that we've learned over time,
it can be a mix of any of these fear, anger, sadness, as the key three. Some people are
much more fearful, and you probably all know someone who's just really fearful and anxious,
and that's their permanent state almost. You might know other people who are really just
angry and irritable. And that, again, is their permanent state, or other people who seem to be
permanently sad and depressed and withdrawn. So in each of these people, they're living
in a sympathetic nervous system state. So the problem with those feelings is that our mind,
remembering that all of what's going through the body conveys back up to the brain,
the mind, our thoughts start to own those feelings. And so we go from just feeling fear to
saying to owning it and saying, I am afraid, we go from just feeling and good to owning it.
I am angry, I am sad. So that then becomes a thought locked in our mind.
But then we have to come to the question of the will. Now back back to to this one.
The thoughts, what does God say about that? What does Jesus have to say? He says that,
you know, we are to have the mind of Christ.
It doesn't say we are to have the feelings of Christ. The word says that we are to take
every thought captive to the obedience of Christ Jesus, not every feeling, every thought captive.
the obedience of Christ Jesus. And so that gives you the idea that there is somehow some
sort of element here, that we can actually control the thoughts, we might not be able
to control the feelings, but we can control the thoughts. And that's very much it. And
so that's where the wheel comes in. Remember, I separated it out to feelings, thoughts and
will and this is where the wheel comes in. And that's thought to be the element that
puts us different to the animals that we actually have an ability to choose. There have been
a few interesting studies around that recently, but we have the ability to choose. And I love
the story, the year end chapter of Deuteronomy, where the Israelites have all come to the
brink of the Jordan for the second time, it's not their first time, they came the first
time they went in fear, right, they were in fear. And so they lost that walked back into
the desert, God had them circling for 40 years, till that entire generation that had been
in fear, were dead. And now he's brought them back to the shores of the Jordan a second
time. And Moses reads the whole story out. And then he says, behold, stop, look, say,
I lay before you life, and death, blessings, and cursings, therefore, choose life. So the whole thing about us being able to be in life is actually a choice. It doesn't just happen by default. And in fact,
if we go into default, we are back in our sympathetic nervous system. That's our default
system. If we don't consciously choose life, we are going to be operating out of reactive
mode. We're going to be operating out of our alarm system, we're going to be operating
out of fear, anger, sadness. And God commands us not to fear. It's a command. Paul in Philippians
four says have no anxiety about any world, we can be anxious about the fact we've just
got a nasty medical diagnosis, we can be anxious that we're running out of money. No, he says
have no anxiety about any thing. But in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving
that your request be made known to God and the peace of God parasympathetic nervous system
will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, your heart and your mind, your thoughts
in Christ, Jesus. So feelings, be aware of the automatic feelings that become thoughts
that we start to own those feelings and say I am these things. But God says no, we do
operate our will. We don't allow fear, anger, sadness to stay. The feelings will be there,
but we don't own them as thoughts, we don't have the mind of Christ. And we are to choose.
We've been given that ability to choose life. And we are to choose. And so, as I've said,
what so what then are the life thoughts so to get a handle on this, it's often a good
idea to start writing down, what are you actually thinking? What are we actually thinking? What
am I actually thinking? Am I thinking that I have abundant life and abundant health?
Or am I thinking, oh, dear, I'm sick? Am I thinking that God loves me, and his plans
are plans for good? Or am I thinking it's all looking really bad, and things are terrible?
What am I thinking? I'm worthless. I'm not worth anything. I'm hopeless. I can never
do anything. You know, it's all going to fail. Or am I thinking now God's plans for
my life are plans for good, not for evil for what am I thinking? And the exercise of writing
down our thoughts will often help tease that out for us. So let's have a look and see I
have we got life thoughts or have we got death thoughts, because anything that's not a conscious
life thought by default, is going to be from the sympathetic nervous system, it's going
be flight, fright, fight, it's going to be a negative thought. So fear, anger, sadness,
and what's what's our God version? Fear is faith, love. Perfect love casts out fear.
I haven't given you a spirit of fear, but of love, and of power and a sound mind.
So love. So fear is a negative belief system.
Fear is believing bad will happen. But God says we to believe him we to believe good
will happen. God is love. We believe in him. That's faith. We believe in him and his love.
Anger, the flip of anger, of course, is peace. Peace stills the angry storm. Sadness, when
you flip of sadness is joy. Sadness might last for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
And what's interesting is that those three things, the flip side of our sympathetic nervous
system emotions, the flip side of the thoughts that have come out of that are the first three
fruits of the spirit. Love, joy, peace. So we are to be operating out of the spirit.
Of course, the spirit, as I open things out, the spirit is next to the will. So operating
the spirit, that empowers our will and our mind to take every thought captive, so that
it lines up with God. So life thoughts. So we'll escape that now. And I just want to
talk around all of those things a bit more. So that's the slides to go with that. So now,
back to this whole idea of body, soul, spirit, and choosing to live in this. I just want to
stop that screen share. Technology, I'm back again. Choice to come in line with God. First,
recognizing that we are made in his image. And we tease that out. Learn to get a sense of each
of those. If we want to be living in abundant life, we move into each one of those areas. So
we start looking at the body. We start looking at our temple. Are we using good quality materials?
Are we using these materials in a way that fits our own DNA and our own pattern? Because not all
of us are meant to live in the same climate. Not all of us are meant to be eating the same foods.
Not all of us do well with the same types of exercise. So we are all unique. We are all a
different facet of God, the glory of God. We're all a different facet. So we look to our body
and look to what's the design for our particular temple? What does our temple need? So we look to
our temple, we deal with our body, we be aware that what's happening, anything that happens
in our body is going to activate our neuropeptides. And as I said, there's a whole heap of these
neurologically acting protein particles, neuropeptides. So these are small proteins
that carry emotion around the body. So neuropeptides that carry this around the body
and affect the soul. So our soul is not just feelings that we might feel in one part of our
body, our soul is effectively certainly our feelings, I should say, our feelings are throughout
our body, travelled there by the nervous system, travelled there by neuropeptides,
by other hormones. So feelings are felt in the body as real feelings. The nervous system
picks up on those feelings and travels those messages back up to the brain, and the brain
processes that. So it's it's about what filter mechanisms are you going to put on
for that filter from emotions through to thoughts? Are we simply going to let everything that happens
in the body, and remembering what comes into the body, what comes in, I didn't put into that
diagram and what's coming in externally. So all these external factors are feeding into this as
well. So it's not just things that might happen to the body. Yes, it's our food, it's our external
environments, it's the pressures from people around, it's things people have said, it's the
chemicals in the environment, all of these things are feeding into our body the whole time, and
activating our alarm systems, our sympathetic nervous system, stress, big one, everyone knows
that. So our sympathetic nervous system is being activated.
the entire time by what's going on. So the body is being activated, sympathetic nervous
system being activated, neuro peptides being activated, that creates these feelings in
our body. And depending on what that feeling is, and our constitutional type, whether we
feel it in our heart, everyone knows the heart pain that that comes from a broken relationship,
we feel that in our physical heart, heart pain, the grieving, as I said earlier, the grief of
a lost one, we will feel in our lungs, and we will be sighing. So the body parts of the body,
and a feeling overburdened will often result in back pain. So this body feeling interaction,
but we choose to come into that place, where we get our mind, these thoughts, and we look at our
thoughts. And instead of letting our thoughts simply run along with our feelings. So instead
of having our thoughts, amplify our feelings. And that see, there's a there are some slides
missing out of that, which I'll just have to talk you through. So when, because our mind controls
our body, and the mind sends messages through the nervous system, and then again, also through
through brain hormones and neuro peptides, the mind controls the body. If we have allowed our
thoughts to get locked into the negative,
then the messages that our mind is sending back into our body, not it not simply negative,
but they actually are locking the body into that negative pattern. And more than that,
are instructing the body to stay in that negative pattern.
So our thoughts control our body. And so where our thoughts are at is just such an absolute key
for getting all of this right. We have to line our thoughts up with what God says about us.
Line our thoughts up with what we know what we have felt will be or what we believe them to be
our destiny, our goals. And Benji's done so much good teaching on all of that. There's so much
about how to be able to unpack that, of how to find that and how to work with that. But we must
recognize the power of our mind, and the power of our thoughts. So this isn't just positive thinking.
I'm not just talking about positive thinking, when no matter how bad things are, you just walk
out there and you say something positive. What I'm talking about is recognizing that God designed
our minds in such a way that we will align them with the word of God. Because God is always
watching over his word to perform it. Our minds will instruct principles and with what God has
said. So it's almost like we can instruct our bodies to be well.
Now that doesn't mean we're going to feel it. When we're in the middle of or have just undergone
something major that's affected our body and has affected our emotions. The last thing we feel like
is saying, I'm well, I'm going to be well, it's all fine. That's the last thing we feel like.
But if we let our feelings govern us, as I've shown you from that diagram, if we let our
feelings govern us, then the body is locked in the negative. If we let our feelings
govern us. So we have to learn to separate out
our feelings from our thoughts and have a look at what are we thinking? Are we choosing to think
that we are going to live and we are living in abundant life and abundant health? Or are we
choosing to think that we are going to stay in this state that we're in forever? And that's a
fear thought. Can be sadness in that as well. But usually that's that's fear. So be aware of that,
really look at this thing of your house, we need to look at, I have to do it all the time to what
are we thinking, and get our thoughts aligned with the Word of God, get our thoughts aligned
with what God would speak over us, in every area, provision, health, relationships, every area,
get our thoughts aligned.
with what God is saying. And our minds will then instruct our feelings and our bodies
and they will come in line. Is there any science behind this? There's a great study that I
really love, which is simple, very, very simple about smiling. Really simple this one. And
what they showed was that the simple act, so this is a physical act of smiling that
we will do based off a thought that says, I'm going to choose to smile. The physical
act of smiling, choosing to smile actually changes the neurotransmitters. So you start
to feel happier. So we can operate this choice down over choosing actions that are known
to generate positive neurotransmitters and therefore generate better feelings, you know,
healthy feelings. We can do it choosing to change our thought patterns that can will
then just directly change our feelings. So there's so many ways we can do this. But all
of that comes to this thing of coming in alignment with God, with God's word, with his plans
for us coming in alignment with the fact that he is a God of love, that the fruit of the
spirit is love, joy, peace, not fear, anger, sadness. He commands us not to fear, but to
move instead across in to this. So body, soul with the will, the choice, the spirit, so
the spirit life can inflow through. So if we've put up blocks, anywhere along the way
here, if we are allowing physical blocks, if we are allowing ourselves to stay in in
a state of not wanting to exercise, just refusing to I don't like it, it's too hard. If we are
allowing ourselves to stay in a state where I don't want to give up my smoking, if we're
allowing ourselves to stay in a state where we're sitting up till one or 2am every morning,
doing stuff on the computer, if we're allowing any of these things, which are which are directly
physically harmful, then that spirit life is blocked, it cannot flow through. So in
each of these areas, we need to come in line with creation come in line with God's way
of doing it so that that life force will flow through. And so then what what about I touched
on the bioenergetics. So let's let's touch on that a little bit. So this this interface
that we have between the soul and the spirit. Now, again, in our modern society, we're playing
around with a lot of different a lot of different chemicals. These days, there are a lot of
drugs that will cross this very important area was believed to be impermeable, we couldn't
get drugs across it, we couldn't get things across it. So the blood brain barrier is a
very particular barrier that God put in place a physical barrier in our brain. That means
that what's coming through the blood supply doesn't cross into the brain tissue, it's
a protection for our brain tissue. But over the years, the pharmaceutical industry has
become very, very capable, and has deliberately worked to find drugs that do affect the brain
that affects the neurotransmitters in the brain that cross the blood brain barrier and
get into brain tissue, the modern, a lot of the modern vaccines actually do that they
have what's called lipid nanoparticles, and we'll get into the brain. And so more and
more things will get into the brain. All the psychoactive drugs, anesthetics, of course,
affect on the brain. That's how they put you to sleep so they can operate you. So all
of these things are acting on the brain directly. All of these things are coming in on the if
you like that bio energetic pathway, there are a lot of other things that disrupt our
energetics as well, the modern electromagnetic fields, as I touched on, are going to be a
challenge and a disruption to our bio energetics, because we are energetic, we operate on our own
particular frequencies, and we actually harmonize, we resonate with this planet, God made us out of
this planet, he made us to be part of this planet. And that's what we resonate with. That's
what we harmonize with. So when we're exposed to too many of these other foreign things,
these foreign energies, if you like, we are losing power, we are losing our energy field
strength in being able to deal with that. So there's that
kind of component of the energetics.
Then there's the component as I touched on of these drugs,
these psychoactive medications,
these things that can make it
and actually disrupt the brain chemistry,
the brain structure directly.
So we need to be aware of all of these things
and just keep ourselves as protected as far as possible.
So for everyone here on the time that was lost,
I'll wrap that all up.
But over the time to come in subsequent presentations,
I'm going to be unpacking each of these things somewhat more.
So we are like God triune.
We are body, soul, spirit together, all as one,
but can also be separated out so we understand it,
the interfaces body that is designed.
God says we're a temple.
We are to house him.
He is to be able to abide in us,
Christ in us, the hope of glory.
He's to abide in us, to be able to rest in us.
So we're a temple.
God's original plan found in our DNA.
And of course, this is where we come to questions of things
that have corrupted our DNA,
both generationally, generational corruption,
for want of a better word.
This is a generational transfer of things,
but also things that happen in our modern environment,
what's called epigenetics that alters our DNA.
So that's a whole other question talking about our DNA.
God's incorruptible seed.
So our DNA, then it's the building blocks.
Then it's the building blocks to make the temple from that DNA.
And then all the workers, the instruction,
the foreman, the workers to do that.
And our job is to maintain that temple.
God engineered, worked out the building of it.
Our job is to maintain it.
So the temple, things that happen to the body
get reflected by the neuropeptides
and affect the feelings.
Our sympathetic nervous system,
the flight, fright, fight system
is the alarm system that does that initial reacting.
And yes, we need to be able to have
an appropriate initial reaction,
but we're not to stay in that state.
We are to be able to move into the mature,
parasympathetic nervous and appropriately deal with
and heal from whatever that danger, that insult was.
So the feelings that come from the sympathetic nervous system,
fear, anger, sadness,
if we're not watching them, being mindful of our thoughts,
those feelings will get back across
and become thoughts.
I am afraid.
And those thoughts, which are in our mind
and instruct our body and instruct our feelings,
we get locked in that state.
So we had to take, look at our thoughts
and determine are these positive thoughts?
Are they negative thoughts of life?
Are they thoughts of death?
Are they thoughts for a good future or not?
So we have to look at each of our,
look at our thoughts and bring them in line.
The mind of Christ, bring them in line with God's word.
And we have the ability to do that.
God gave us will.
He gave us the ability to choose.
As Moses said it so beautifully,
Deuteronomy 32, behold, I lay before you life and death,
blessings and cursings, therefore choose life.
It's not going to just happen for us.
We have to actively choose it.
We have to actively, life has set us free
from the law of sin and death.
That life can flow through our bodies
and bring life, God's planned life,
through to our entire bodies.
So I hope that's been helpful for you.
As I said, a lot more of that is going to be unpacked
in times to come as we talk more down the track.
And as I said, I tried to put it in a bit to make it
that you're not sitting here
than you would have.
So, well, thanks.
Bye.
you
