The Reflex Test


"I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body"1 Peter 1:13


Our own physical bodies we are designed to react in the proper ways to ceratin situations. If burned - move! If tickled - laugh - then move.

Thanks to our spinal chord, all our nerves have a central connection to the brain. This way way we can truly think before we react, even when we don't realise it!

The Holy Spirit is very similar in this respect. He helps us to react like Christ in any situation. Everyday our creator is testing our reflexes to see if we are responding in way that brings him glory.

This Christmas let the Spirit remind you of what it really means to be a Christian. Live in an eternal way while in this temporary tent. Only then will others see Jesus through you. It's not as hard as you think.

Ask the Holy Spirit to fill your body today...then watch what he does in the simplest situation. It's like having a new set of nerves. Trust him, he won't let you get burned.

"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you." John 14:26

Remembering Him,
Brandon and Pamela
