Brain Factor I have had several instances throughout my life when God placed someone in my path to lead me to Christ. Each time, I agreed to recite the “sinner’s prayer,” with them, but it wasnt until 2008 when I was truly at a place when my heart was actually sincere. It was that moment that I had my true conversion and I knew that God, indeed, changed my life and I experienced my rebirth into the kingdom of God. Ever since then I have been fascinated by how it can be that some people can perceive God and others not. Matthew 20:15-17; 15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?’ 16 So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen. God is not limited by space or time. He is everywhere at all times He was present in the time Cain and able where born as well as being present when the last child is born in the distant future, all at the same time. I look at it this way; when God decided to create us—He had a plan—and He looked down the corridor of time and asked; who will say yes to my Son’s sacrifice? He saw all those who raised their hands in an affirmative response-from the first, to the last, all at the same time. Romans 8:29; For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Ive always been fascinated as to why (even though I know the answer) some people, whether they profess to be an atheist, or are just for the moment, a non-believer they can’t see, what is to me, so obvious. Matthew 13:30; Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” A believer’s life is a time of conditioning. We are blessed with the peace of God that Jesus’ sacrifice afforded us, the Holy Spirit, but also, we are conditioned by the many hardships that are designed by God to make us stronger and wiser. I recently watched a film by a scientist Dr. Persinger-telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/10914137/What-God-does-to-your-brain.html. This article and film opens the door to the possibility that a believer’s brain and that of non-believers are wired differently and by manipulating small electrical charges through the temporal lobe can stimulate a “God experience.” Now, the secular arena would probably say that this is proof that there is no God and that believers are only experiencing a “God experience,” because of a misfiring in our brains. But I suggest to you that this very well proves God existence and this experiment only proves to show us how God separated the wheat from the tares. I know that Calvary, Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, is the only thing that is important and that, that act is the Gospel, but I believe when God created matter and the physical word as we know it, He did so because, being God, He was able to manipulate His creation. In other words, God being a spirit, can only manipulate His creation in a physical and logical way. As time has passed, from the first day, and carrying on to the last day of this world system as we know it, God has gradually and incrementally, revealed Himself to the world. He does so to give all the people who raised their hands in acceptance to Jesus’ sacrifice time to accept their salvation and experience their conversion into the kingdom of God. #It’s a God thing!
