Three Functional levels of our lobes
Outer Cortex (Conscious control & Choices)
Limbic System (Emotional brain:-fear, anger,
tenderness, Expression of sexuality, Learning, memory, plessure)
3)
Hypothalamus (At the base of the brain,

Now if your brain is working properly there would
be good communication and control between all
parts of the brain.
THE FRONTAL LOBE IS IN CONTROL.
If your brain is not working properly the Limbic
system will take over and now you make
decisions based on what you feel not on
principle. Normally you get in trouble
It doesn’t matter how many cells you may have
but it matters how they communicate, we need
to master that.

sexual arousal, foresight impairment, lack
of self-restrain, mathematical

2.
Raised Co2 level

3.

impairs physical & mental Performance, withdraws symptoms,
Dehydrates the body(5 H2O cups to rectify, interferes with sleep.
Every car needs good brakes, 60% less Oxygen), no evidence to
help intellect AND we then leave a half baked life.

Tea and coffee, as well as tobacco, have an injurious
effect upon the system. Tea is intoxicating. Though less
in degree, its effect is the same in character as that of
spirituous liquors. Coffee has a greater tendency to
becloud the intellect and benumb the energies. It is not
so powerful as tobacco, but is similar in its effect.
When those who are in the habit of using tea, coffee,
tobacco, opium, or spirituous liquors are deprived of the
accustomed indulgence, they find it impossible to
engage with interest and zeal in the worship of
God. Divine grace seems powerless to enliven or
spiritualize their prayers or their testimonies.{SL. Pg 33}

Sexual Arousal.
Purity, it destroys your brain to engage before time or promiscuity
1Cor 6:18 Flee/Stay away from sexual sins. Other sins that
people commit don't affect their bodies the same way sexual sins
do. People who sin sexually sin against their own bodies.
Television.

semi-hypnotic episode (Flickering lights), Average scene on TV last only
3sec, cannot decide what are facts but it keeps on recording everything
as facts, even an immoral acts, etc. Cinematographers made a study.
Go against your consciousness.

Lack of Scriptural and Spiritual nourishment

Rom 12:2 Don't become like the people of this world. Instead, change
the way you think. Then you will always be able to determine what God
really wants-what is good, pleasing, and perfect.

A strict compliance with the requirements of God is beneficial to the health of
body and mind. In order to reach the highest standard of moral and intellectual
attainments, it is necessary to seek wisdom and strength from God and to
observe strict temperance in all the habits of life. It is impossible for any to
enjoy the blessing of sanctification while they are selfish and
gluttonous. SL, pg 24 & 26
Bible teaching will make but a feeble impression upon those whose faculties are
benumbed by self-gratification.
Thousands will sacrifice not only health and life but their hope of heaven before they
will wage war against their own perverted appetites. One lady who for many years
claimed to be sanctified, made the statement that if she must give up her pipe or heaven
she would say, "Farewell, heaven; I cannot overcome my love for my pipe." This idol had
been enshrined in the soul, leaving to Jesus a subordinate place. Yet this woman claimed
to be wholly the Lord's! {SL 28.2}
The indulgence of appetite produces a dyspeptic stomach, a torpid liver, a clouded brain,
and thus perverts the temper and spirit of the man. It is our duty to bring our appetites
and our habits of life into conformity to natural law.
As God is pure and holy, and will accept nothing defiling in its character, He must refuse
this expensive, filthy, and unholy sacrifice; therefore we conclude that Satan is the one
who claims the honor. {SL 31.1} He can only receive us but cannot save in that state.

“I was shown that in case of sickness, where the way is clear
for the offering up of prayer for the sick, the case should be
committed to the Lord in calm faith, not with a storm of
excitement. He alone is acquainted with the past life of the
individual and knows what his future will be. He who is
acquainted with the hearts of all men knows whether the
person, if raised up, would glorify His name or dishonor Him
by backsliding and apostasy. All that we are required to do is
to ask God to raise the sick up if in accordance with His will,
believing that He hears the reasons which we present and
the fervent prayers offered. If the Lord sees it will best honor
Him, He will answer our prayers. But to urge recovery
without submission to His will is not right.” EG White,
Answers to prayer.
Christians will take the lead in self-denial, in self-sacrifice,
and in temperance. Then they will be the light of the world.
