In our study of Romans last time we started a short topical study on the heart of the soul. We noted some of the many passages that reference the heart as the central factor in the PMA of Bible doctrine.
Eph 1:18, "I also pray that the eyes of your hearts (right lobes) be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance for the saints."
In Rev 2:23, John adds that if emotional control of the soul continues you die a carnal cosmic death from thinking that lies are truth.
Just as when blood does not properly circulate through the biological heart there is biological death, in the spiritual realm there is also carnal cosmic death of the soul when the heart is circulating cosmic demonic lies. "
I will execute her followers with death (the sin unto death) and all the churches will know that I am He who investigates the emotions and the hearts, and I will administer punishment to each one of you (cosmic believers) according to your activities."
Heb 4:12, "The word of God...is a judge of both thoughts and ideas of the heart."
Heb 3:12, "Take heed, brethren, lest there should be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God."
An evil heart of unbelief is refusing to believe God's Word of Truth is truth.
1Pet 3:15, "But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, always (being) ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence."
James 3:14, "But if you have bitter jealousy and strife in your heart, do not be arrogant and do not lie against the truth."
Arrogance and lying against the truth are mental attitude sins that block the metabolization of doctrine because gnosis doctrine that is not parlayed into epignosis doctrine under the ministry of God the Holy Spirit is a lie against the truth because not believing truth creates a lie against the truth.
Eph 4:18, "They have darkened their way of thinking (they always distort what is taught), they have been alienated from the life of God (they only have gnosis but no epignosis, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of scar tissue in the heart of their soul."
These verses explain that the mentality of the soul is divided into two compartments: the left and right lobes of the soul. The right lobe is where you do your thinking, analyzing, applying of knowledge, and is the seat of common sense. The left lobe is your place of information analysis and the area where your talents function.
Neuroscientists tell us the brain has two separate hemispheres. They say that one is verbal, analytical, and dominant, while the other is mute. They classify the non-speaking side as the right hemisphere.
The Bible classifies the mute hemisphere as the left lobe and the verbal hemisphere as the right lobe.
Neuroscientists tell us that the left hemisphere has language ability and is analytical; and the right hemisphere is creative and talented. Creative people tend to function mostly by using the non-rational side of their brain.
A child is about two years old before the link between the two hemispheres is completed. And it doesn't become completely functional until about ten years later. After age ten, one side of the brain is used for synthesis, spatial perception, creativity and music, while the other side is sequential, verbal, analytical, rational and logical.
The scientists also contend that excellence in one hemisphere tends to interfere with top-level performance in the other. The conclusion is that because of this most very creative people are very visual and usually aren't very analytical or rational.
The Bible tells us the heart s the thinking, reasoning part of the essence of the soul that is designed to dominate the soul. Therefore, it must be the target for rational doctrinal teaching, 1Kings 3:9,12; Psa 119:11, 19:14. To reach its target, Bible doctrine must pass through two staging areas the left lobe of the soul aka the heart and the human spirit.
The Biblical heart can also be described as having compartments. One of those compartments that we will call the frame of reference is where doctrinal concepts related to principles, and categories of Scripture are connected together. It is at the entrance into heart so it is the first place where God's Word of Truth goes.
This is because knowledge is built upon knowledge and precept is built upon precept so truth is built upon truth. In the frame of reference new information comes in to be processed out to the other parts of the soul.
The frame of reference retains metabolized doctrine under the principle that doctrine is built upon doctrine. People start by learning basic principles then move on to more complex concepts.
In the frame of reference the basic principles become the foundation for correlating more complex conceptual doctrine from Scripture.
Spiritual growth is the result of having the ability to recall and correlate doctrine in the thinking so that it becomes a basis for acquiring, analyzing and applying God's Word of Truth
The frame of reference retains previously learned metabolized doctrines and becomes the basis for acquiring for additional information. The frame of reference is the location or area of retention of what Paul called epignosis that is metabolized doctrine.
The frame of reference is the location of all concepts related to the mystery doctrine of the Church Age, that explains God's protocol plan that includes God's will, plan, and purpose for the believer's life.
The frame of reference is where the ten problem solving devices for the Church Age believer are constructed and made available for deployment.
The frame of reference is the seat of the inventory of metabolized doctrine, from which application of metabolized doctrine as wisdom is applied to the circumstances of life.
Metabolized doctrine in the frame of reference is the basis for the construction of a spiritual system of thinking from God's Word of Truth in the soul's stream of consciousness.
Metabolized doctrine in the frame of reference is the basis for the execution of God's protocol plan so it is the basis for the glorification of God and the manufacture of an invisible hero in the Church Age.
Metabolized doctrine in the frame of reference increases the believer's spiritual intelligence and creates capacity for learning more advanced doctrine.
The amount of doctrine you have in your frame of reference that you can recall and apply is what really determines your spiritual intelligence.
Metabolized Bible doctrine in your frame of reference initially provides divine viewpoint, and then it begins to shape your mental attitude for the conflict between divine and human viewpoint, that is a constant struggle until you have sufficient spiritual momentum in your thinking.
Metabolized Bible doctrine in your frame of reference provides the correct motivation for function in God's protocol plan. It creates motivation for learning more doctrine that results in increasing spiritual momentum.
Metabolized doctrine is the momentum factor that keeps you advancing in the spiritual life and eventually leads to consistent execution of God's protocol plan.
Prov 4:4; "Then He taught me and said to me, `Let your heart hold fast My words, keep My mandates, and live.'"
Your heart is the source of concentration because motivation and ability to concentrate starts in the frame of reference.
1Cor 2:9; "Things which the eye has not seen and the ear has not heard, and have not entered into the heart of mankind all that God has prepared for those who love Him."
There is no way for a believer to understand all that God has prepared for them apart from a frame of reference that is saturated with the mystery doctrine of the Church Age. You can only understand all that God has done for you from the Bible doctrine that is resident, believed, recalled and circulating in the heart, the right lobe of the soul.
Coming to love God indicates spiritual advance. Personal love for God the Father is one of the problem solving devices and it is the correct motivation for the Christian way of life. Occupation with the person of Christ is the priority solution for solving the problems of life in the devil's world.
Believers who are filled with the Spirit have a spiritual frame of reference for the perception of the spiritual information that comes from God's Word that is taught by God the Holy Spirit to the regenerated human spirit.
The frame of reference also constructs a filter from metabolized doctrine that acts like an instant reaction force or a red-alert system so that you can accurately discern what is true and what is false in the communication of the Word of God.
Metabolized doctrine in the frame of reference is the basis for the manufacture and the function of all the ten problem-solving devices.
Many believers have been delivered from false doctrinal teaching from metabolized doctrine in their frame of reference because they perceive and recognize that something is wrong with the false ideas, emotional activity, legalism, or ritual that is being communicated. So the frame of reference is where God the Holy Spirit provides protection in the spiritual life for the believer.
The frame of reference's alert system is necessary in the Christian life because believers must learn to avoid false teachers and con artists who communicate doctrines of demons.
Metabolized Bible doctrine in the frame of reference produces the ability to recall doctrine in various situations and circumstances of life.
Lam 3:20-25; "Surely my soul remembers and is humbled within me. This doctrine I recall to mind; therefore I have hope (as a problem solving device). The Lord's grace support (logistical grace provision) never ceases; His grace expressions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. `The Lord is my portion,' says my soul; `therefore I have confidence in Him.'"
The frame of reference provides the basis for effective communication of ideas in conversation, in professional functions, in witnessing, in social interaction, and in the exchange of ideas.
Bible doctrine in the frame of reference establishes capacity for life, happiness, blessing from God, success, prosperity from God, and promotion from God.
Psa 119:16; "I delight in doctrine; I shall not forget Your Word." This tells us that right next to the frame of reference is the memory center.
While the frame of reference is the location for doctrinal categorization, the memory center is the area where doctrinal recall occurs. Recall is necessary for the application of doctrine to experience, for worship, for training the Christian reflexes, and the deployment of the problem solving devices.
The memory center circulates Bible doctrine into the various parts of the right lobe (heart) producing recall. You associate things in your frame of reference and then remember them from the function of the memory center by correlating them. The memory center stores doctrine after much repetition.
Recall is the beginning point of the application of Bible doctrine to experience so it is the initial development of wisdom (sophia).
Recall is the basis for the function of all ten of the problem solving devices: rebound, the filling of the Spirit, the faith-rest drill, grace orientation, doctrinal orientation, personal love for God the Father, impersonal love for all mankind, sharing the happiness of God, a personal sense of destiny, and occupation with Christ.
Recall is the basis for deployment of problem solving devices. It may take only one verse, such as 1John 1:9, to deploy the problem-solving device of rebound.
Rebound must be kept simple; we sin so often that we need a very simple solution. Rebound as the solution relates our specific personal sin to God the Father's judgment of all personal sins to Jesus Christ on the cross that makes it possible for them to be forgiven.
More complex recall occurs after we learn and understand how we fit into God's protocol plan, what the portfolio of invisible assets is, how the unique spiritual life works, how suffering for blessing works, that leads us to a lifestyle of wisdom.
Recall is the basis for the function of the stages of the faith-rest drill that is the application of the doctrinal rationales to the circumstances of life.
The doctrinal rationales include the essence of God rationale, the plan of God rationale, the spiritual privilege or politeuma rationale, the grace of God rationale, and the logistical grace rationale.
Recall is not dependent on having a good natural human memory. It has everything to do with the inculcation of doctrinal teaching. You must hear a doctrine taught hundreds of times. The more you hear a doctrine taught the quicker you will be able to remember and apply it.
You haven't learned a doctrine until you can't forget it! You cannot use what you cannot recall. You can't look up the pertinent doctrine in your notebook when you're being tested. It must already b resident in your thinking. You can only apply what you can't forget.
Therefore, recall is the application of epignosis doctrine in the right lobe to the circumstances of life. When epignosis doctrine is applied, it is called wisdom (SOPHIA).
Lam 3:20-24, "Surely my soul remembers and is humbled within me. This doctrine I recall to my mind, therefore I have confidence. The Lord's grace support never ceases; His grace expressions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. `The Lord is my portion,' says my soul [frame of reference and memory center]; `therefore I have confidence in Him.'"
