It’s important to remind ourselves that we are spirit beings, created in the same class of being as God, our Father and that we possess a soul, which is made up of our mind, our will, and our emotions, and that we live in a physical body. It’s just how we are able to interact on this earth, but it was never meant to be subservient to our truest self, our spirit.
Because our spirit man originated from the spirit realm and from God, we should be operating on the earth more mindful of our heavenly kingdom. Because we are three parts, two of them will always side together. Our soul is always the determining factor in the equation. This is where our minds reside. If we can get our minds to be renewed and agree with our spirit (which is always in agreement with God and His Word) then our body can experience life from the heavenly kingdom it was designed to reign from. If our mind remains un-renewed, our body will automatically side with that and experience life at a lower earthly level.
None of this is in conflict with how God made us to function. He created us with our mind, will, and the full range of emotions to be felt, but not to be controlled by. We have our primal brain, which was created to protect us from danger. This is the part of our brain that is constantly looking for problems and issues in our lives, which exists for three things, to conserve energy, to seek pleasure, and to avoid pain. Understanding that we still have this natural side to our brain will help us not to drop into shame every time we see ourselves dwelling on the negative.
But we also have our soul, which includes our higher brain or our mind, which God tells us that we must do the work to renew it according to His thoughts. Romans 12:2 teaches us that in order to live a transformed life, we will have to do the work of renewing our minds. This simply means replacing our natural thoughts with God’s higher thoughts.
As a coach, I come alongside women to help them navigate the in-between space. They might be finding themselves in a crisis and their body is stuck in fight or flight mode created by the primal side of their brain. But our bodies will only tolerate this for so long before it becomes very unhealthy. We eventually need to renew our minds with God’s word to become FREE! Learning how to allow all the uncomfortable emotions, (whether caused by past regrets or current pain) instead of buffering them away (avoiding them) by over-working, over-eating, over-spending, or over-scrolling, to create a state of true emotional resilience is the greatest work you’ll ever do. Combining that neuroscience with the Word of God and you’ve got the makings of a life you can ENJOY TO THE FULLEST!
