Stories from organ transplant recipients illustrate the profound

truth that our identity is written on every cell in our body In A

Change of Heart Claire Sylvia a conservative health-consciousNew England woman tells the story of what she experienced

after a heart and lung transplant Following the surgery she

began to experience strange dreams and inexplicably developed

a taste for beer chicken nuggets and motorcycles his was

completely out of character

After a particularly vivid dream Claire delved into the

history of her organ donor and found out that he was an

983089983096-year-old motorcycle enthusiast who loved chicken nuggets

and beer After much difficulty she discovered his name was

im L and that he had died in a motorcycle accident Along

with her new heart cells apparently came a part of the young manmdashhis memoriesmdashboth his likes and dislikes983089

In The Heartrsquos Code psychologist Paul Pearsall describes

the story of an eight-year-old girl who began to have nightmares

following a heart transplant he organ donor was another

young girl age ten After the transplant she began to have hor-

rific dreams about a murder hey were so vivid and specific

they eventually led to the capture of the murderer who had infact killed the donor Evidence from the nightmares included

the time of the murder the weapon and the clothes the mur-

derer wore hese details were all absolutely accurate983090

Identity Is Written in Our Cells

hese stories are just two among many hundreds of similarstories from organ transplant recipients who frequently expe-

rience memories and tastes of those whose organs they have

received983091 he impartation of inherited memories from organ

donors into the personalities of recipients illustrates the pro-

found truth that who we are is somehow written on our cells

How can this be

ldquoIdentityrdquo is not just the distinguishing personal concep-

tion personality or fingerprint signature of an individual It is

a biological reality down to the cellular level Every cell in our

body records our identity983092 he surface of each one of our cells

has ldquoidentity receptorsrdquo or human leukocyte antigens (HLA)Although our cells retain the same identity the story told by

our cells develops over the course of a lifetime A chronicle of

our entire life is continuously being recorded within our cells

from cradle to grave When we change our cells change Our

biography becomes our biology ldquoWerdquo are written in our cells

Our unique ldquoselfrdquo is encoded in our biological identityRecognition of HLA by the immune system gives the cell its

right to belong within a community of cells he immune sys-

tem wonrsquot accept cells with different identities perceiving them

to be foreign invaders

O ur biography becomes our biology

Of course this poses a problem in organ transplants he

identity receptors of the organ recipient will not recognize the

ldquoalienrdquo identity of the transplanted organ o prevent organ

rejection recipients of organ transplants must take medication

that suppresses the activity of the immune system so their bod-ies wonrsquot try to destroy the transplanted organ

Te Physical Environment Changes Cells

Our nutritional environment changes our cells We all

know that nutrition affects our health Certain vitamins for

example are recommended to strengthen our immune system

Many optometrists recommend vitamins for ocular health

Vitamins and supplements are good for joint health Headlines

regularly announce the discovery of new superfoods dietary

aids or herbal supplements as the latest keys to good nutri-

tional health What we ingest makes a difference in our cellsPhysical environment plays a vital role in the health of cells

When a cell is ailing check its environment If an organism has

too little water the cells dehydrate If it lacks essential nutri-

ents the cells become malnourished If the cells of an organism

are healthy the organism is healthy and vice versa Yet is physi-

cal environment all there is to health

Emotions Change Cells

It is common knowledge that our emotions affect our

physiology Our face may turn red with embarrassment Our

voice can become shaky when we are nervous Fear can make

our hands tremble and our skin feel cold Feelings of affection

dilate the pupils of the eyes Extreme anger may cause peopleto ldquosee redrdquo Rage redirects blood flow away from the frontal

lobes of the brain resulting in a decreased capacity for rational

thought (hat is why a distinction is made in courts of law

between crimes of passion and crimes that are premeditated)

Scientific studies indicate that good and bad emotions983093

our stress level983094 and the quality of our social relationships983095 affect

our entire bodymdashdown to the cellular level (We will cover this

more thoroughly in later chapters) Many medical professionals

regularly warn patients about stress in their lives because of its

harmful effects on their bodies

Stress exists in your mindmdashbut itrsquos also evident in

your stomach heart muscles and even your toes

ldquoIn fact stresshellip[affects] every cell in your bodyrdquo

says Ronald Glaser PhD a researcher at [he]

Ohio State University Medical School8

Dr Candace Pert a neuroscientist who helped discover a

fundamental element of brain chemistry in relation to emo-

tions made the amazing discovery that the primary mechanism

of cellular change is emotional Our emotions inscribe who we

are on our cells From the love of a mother during infancy to the

emotional traumas of childhood to the worries of adulthoodeverything is remembered by our cells Emotional memory is

stored at the cellular level983097 he brain can think and remember

but who we truly are our identity is a matter of our emotional

being Our emotions inscribe who we are on our cells

Molecules of emotion are the intercom system of the body

hey inform all the cells about how we are responding to

everything in life How does this happen Our emotions aretransmitted throughout our entire body via tiny signal hor-

mones Our cells read emotional information through ldquoemotion

receptorsrdquo on the surface of each cell Emotional information is

received into our cells and identity receptors record the changes

he identity receptors on our cells contain our entire lifestory hey tell what our life has been like hey record the

beliefs of our innermost being here is an old saying about

people who donrsquot hide their emotions ldquoheir heart is writ-

ten on their sleeverdquo In truth it would be more accurate to say

ldquoOur heart is written on our cellsrdquo

O ur heart is written on our cells

Te Holy Spirit Changes Cells

When we are born again a spiritual transformation takes place We become God-indwelt a new creation If a trans-

planted organ can change some aspects of an unbelieverrsquos

individual identity how much more influence should our new

creation identity have on us

Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation

old things have passed away behold all things have

become new (2 Corinthians 517)

It is wonderful news for believers to know that we arenrsquot

bound by our past Do you remember when you got saved

Suddenly everything in life seemed new Your thoughts changed

you made different choices and your emotions were impacted

When you received forgiveness for your sins you experienced

peace with God for the first time Although unbelievers can

sometimes feel the peace of God in the atmosphere Christians

experience supernatural peace within Because Jesus has given us

His peace as a gift it is always available for us (see John 983089983092983090983095)

O ur emotions inscribe who we are on our cells

Not everything in our lives is taken care of at the time

of our conversion We all have some pre-salvation baggage of

unhealed emotional wounds and traumas If we remember any

situation and still feel pain (or any other negative emotion) it is

still stored in cellular memory he fact of an emotional wound

is a matter of historical record We canrsquot change history

When God heals us however we have a testimonymdasha new

heavenly record of peace in our heart983089983088 When the Holy Spirit cleanses our wounds and traumas forgiveness washes away neg-

ative emotions oxic emotions in our cells are then replaced by

the supernatural peace of God

Our body therefore has the capacity to be changed in the

presence of God Moses made a bold and startling request ofGod in Exodus 983091983091983089983096 ldquoPlease show me Your gloryrdquo It is even

more astonishing that God granted the desire of Mosesrsquos heart

What is Godrsquos glorymdash kabod in Hebrew Glory is the sum total

of all God is His glory is the infinite splendor majesty beauty

brilliance of the presence of God

T oxic emotions in our cells can bereplaced by the supernatural peace of God

When Godrsquos presence manifests in fullness we find His power wisdom holiness justice mercy love life and radiant

lightmdashand every other attribute of His character and nature

Glory then is the shining forth of the essence of God It is the

very atmosphere of heaven itself In response to the cry in the

heart of Moses God released the rays of His glory to Mount

Sinai in the middle of a desertAfter 983092983088 days and nights during which he was completely

immersed in the glory cloud of Godrsquos presence Moses came

down the mountain and returned to the camp of the Israelites

he appearance of Moses was so different it was scary His face

washellipglowing he light was so bright everyone was frightened

ldquoWhen Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses behold

the skin of his face shone and they were afraid to come near himrdquo

(Exod 983091983092983090983097-983091983088) We can watch reality shows about extreme

makeovers but this was a makeover that tops them all

Have you ever wondered why Mosesrsquos face shone after he

came down from Mount Sinai Being in the glory of God hadactually transformed the cells of his body How could this

happen We know that it was supernatural but what physical

mechanism in the human body could account for the visible

When we are born again we become a new creation spiritu-

ally but the ldquonew creationrdquo begins to be imprinted on every cell

When our heart (our inner being) changes our cells change Who we become is imprinted on our cells God created us with

the physical capacity to be transformed in the very cells of our

human body983089983089 When we spend time in prayer and grow in

grace and the knowledge of God our cells reflect it983089983090

But we all with unveiled face beholding as in amirror the glory of the Lord are being transformed

into the same image from glory to glory just as by the

Spirit of the Lord (2 Corinthians 318)

Scientific research has documented the positive impact of

prayer on human physiology983089983091

Prayer is more than talking to God Rather prayer is being with God spirit-to-Spirit Every

time we are in the presence of God we are changed ldquoThe

Lordhellipmakes us more and more like him as we are changed into

his glorious imagerdquo (983090 Cor 983091983089983096 NL)

Scientific studies are regularly being published that further

explain the physiology merging emotion identity and spiri-

tuality his research contains some of the most compelling

medical social and spiritual discoveries of the modern age

Some of the most amazing discoveries have demonstrated the

powerful connection between emotions and the physical bodyOur body plays a cellular symphony that celebrates the very

When we are in prayer our natural emotions are infused

with Godrsquos supernatural love Our cellular symphony reso-

When the Bible says that believers ldquosing a new song to the Lordrdquo they really do (Ps 983097983094983089 NL) Our whole new-creation being

vibrates in harmony with God

When the love of God touches our heart our cells are

flooded with glory We may not experience the same intensity

of glory that Moses experienced However Christ in us is ourldquoconfident expectationrdquo of glory now not just in the future (see

Col 983089983090983095) In Jesusrsquos prayer to His Father He says ldquoThe glory

In the Bible we also find many examples of light

without the sun but originating from a supernat-

ural source Most of these are associated with theglory of God which in the Bible is usually mani-

fested as light although sometimes as fire his

is not surprising as the Bible tells us that God is

light (1 John 15 cf John 812) and also that God

is a consuming fire (Deuteronomy 424 Hebrews

1229)16

As Moses discovered we cannot spend time with God with-

out being changed Godrsquos glorious nature transforms us inside

and out ldquo For it is God who commanded light to shine out of dark-

ness who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge

of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ rdquo (983090 Cor 983092983094)Have you ever seen the amazing displays of Christmas lights

timed to music Itrsquos a light orchestra When God touches our

heart we become Godrsquos ldquolight orchestrardquo He is the Conductor

and we are the symphony he more time we spend in the pres-

ence of the Lord the more our cells reflect Godrsquos glorious light

and resonate with His love

E very time the love of God touches ourheart our cells are flooded with glory

Stories from organ transplant recipients illustrate the profound

truth that our identity is written on every cell in our body In A

Change of Heart Claire Sylvia a conservative health-consciousNew England woman tells the story of what she experienced

after a heart and lung transplant Following the surgery she

began to experience strange dreams and inexplicably developed

a taste for beer chicken nuggets and motorcycles his was

completely out of character

After a particularly vivid dream Claire delved into the

history of her organ donor and found out that he was an

983089983096-year-old motorcycle enthusiast who loved chicken nuggets

and beer After much difficulty she discovered his name was

im L and that he had died in a motorcycle accident Along

with her new heart cells apparently came a part of the young manmdashhis memoriesmdashboth his likes and dislikes983089

In The Heartrsquos Code psychologist Paul Pearsall describes

the story of an eight-year-old girl who began to have nightmares

following a heart transplant he organ donor was another

young girl age ten After the transplant she began to have hor-

rific dreams about a murder hey were so vivid and specific

they eventually led to the capture of the murderer who had infact killed the donor Evidence from the nightmares included

the time of the murder the weapon and the clothes the mur-

derer wore hese details were all absolutely accurate983090

Identity Is Written in Our Cells

hese stories are just two among many hundreds of similarstories from organ transplant recipients who frequently expe-

rience memories and tastes of those whose organs they have

received983091 he impartation of inherited memories from organ

donors into the personalities of recipients illustrates the pro-

found truth that who we are is somehow written on our cells

How can this be

ldquoIdentityrdquo is not just the distinguishing personal concep-

tion personality or fingerprint signature of an individual It is

a biological reality down to the cellular level Every cell in our

body records our identity983092 he surface of each one of our cells

has ldquoidentity receptorsrdquo or human leukocyte antigens (HLA)Although our cells retain the same identity the story told by

our cells develops over the course of a lifetime A chronicle of

our entire life is continuously being recorded within our cells

from cradle to grave When we change our cells change Our

biography becomes our biology ldquoWerdquo are written in our cells

Our unique ldquoselfrdquo is encoded in our biological identityRecognition of HLA by the immune system gives the cell its

right to belong within a community of cells he immune sys-

tem wonrsquot accept cells with different identities perceiving them

to be foreign invaders

O ur biography becomes our biology

Of course this poses a problem in organ transplants he

identity receptors of the organ recipient will not recognize the

ldquoalienrdquo identity of the transplanted organ o prevent organ

rejection recipients of organ transplants must take medication

that suppresses the activity of the immune system so their bod-ies wonrsquot try to destroy the transplanted organ

Te Physical Environment Changes Cells

Our nutritional environment changes our cells We all

know that nutrition affects our health Certain vitamins for

example are recommended to strengthen our immune system

Many optometrists recommend vitamins for ocular health

Vitamins and supplements are good for joint health Headlines

regularly announce the discovery of new superfoods dietary

aids or herbal supplements as the latest keys to good nutri-

tional health What we ingest makes a difference in our cellsPhysical environment plays a vital role in the health of cells

When a cell is ailing check its environment If an organism has

too little water the cells dehydrate If it lacks essential nutri-

ents the cells become malnourished If the cells of an organism

are healthy the organism is healthy and vice versa Yet is physi-

cal environment all there is to health

Emotions Change Cells

It is common knowledge that our emotions affect our

physiology Our face may turn red with embarrassment Our

voice can become shaky when we are nervous Fear can make

our hands tremble and our skin feel cold Feelings of affection

dilate the pupils of the eyes Extreme anger may cause peopleto ldquosee redrdquo Rage redirects blood flow away from the frontal

lobes of the brain resulting in a decreased capacity for rational

thought (hat is why a distinction is made in courts of law

between crimes of passion and crimes that are premeditated)

Scientific studies indicate that good and bad emotions983093

our stress level983094 and the quality of our social relationships983095 affect

our entire bodymdashdown to the cellular level (We will cover this

more thoroughly in later chapters) Many medical professionals

regularly warn patients about stress in their lives because of its

harmful effects on their bodies

Stress exists in your mindmdashbut itrsquos also evident in

your stomach heart muscles and even your toes

ldquoIn fact stresshellip[affects] every cell in your bodyrdquo

says Ronald Glaser PhD a researcher at [he]

Ohio State University Medical School8

Dr Candace Pert a neuroscientist who helped discover a

fundamental element of brain chemistry in relation to emo-

tions made the amazing discovery that the primary mechanism

of cellular change is emotional Our emotions inscribe who we

are on our cells From the love of a mother during infancy to the

emotional traumas of childhood to the worries of adulthoodeverything is remembered by our cells Emotional memory is

stored at the cellular level983097 he brain can think and remember

but who we truly are our identity is a matter of our emotional

being Our emotions inscribe who we are on our cells

Molecules of emotion are the intercom system of the body

hey inform all the cells about how we are responding to

everything in life How does this happen Our emotions aretransmitted throughout our entire body via tiny signal hor-

mones Our cells read emotional information through ldquoemotion

receptorsrdquo on the surface of each cell Emotional information is

received into our cells and identity receptors record the changes

he identity receptors on our cells contain our entire lifestory hey tell what our life has been like hey record the

beliefs of our innermost being here is an old saying about

people who donrsquot hide their emotions ldquoheir heart is writ-

ten on their sleeverdquo In truth it would be more accurate to say

ldquoOur heart is written on our cellsrdquo

O ur heart is written on our cells

Te Holy Spirit Changes Cells

When we are born again a spiritual transformation takes place We become God-indwelt a new creation If a trans-

planted organ can change some aspects of an unbelieverrsquos

individual identity how much more influence should our new

creation identity have on us

Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation

old things have passed away behold all things have

become new (2 Corinthians 517)

It is wonderful news for believers to know that we arenrsquot

bound by our past Do you remember when you got saved

Suddenly everything in life seemed new Your thoughts changed

you made different choices and your emotions were impacted

When you received forgiveness for your sins you experienced

peace with God for the first time Although unbelievers can

sometimes feel the peace of God in the atmosphere Christians

experience supernatural peace within Because Jesus has given us

His peace as a gift it is always available for us (see John 983089983092983090983095)

O ur emotions inscribe who we are on our cells

Not everything in our lives is taken care of at the time

of our conversion We all have some pre-salvation baggage of

unhealed emotional wounds and traumas If we remember any

situation and still feel pain (or any other negative emotion) it is

still stored in cellular memory he fact of an emotional wound

is a matter of historical record We canrsquot change history

When God heals us however we have a testimonymdasha new

heavenly record of peace in our heart983089983088 When the Holy Spirit cleanses our wounds and traumas forgiveness washes away neg-

ative emotions oxic emotions in our cells are then replaced by

the supernatural peace of God

Our body therefore has the capacity to be changed in the

presence of God Moses made a bold and startling request ofGod in Exodus 983091983091983089983096 ldquoPlease show me Your gloryrdquo It is even

more astonishing that God granted the desire of Mosesrsquos heart

What is Godrsquos glorymdash kabod in Hebrew Glory is the sum total

of all God is His glory is the infinite splendor majesty beauty

and greatness of God in His manifold perfections Glory is the

brilliance of the presence of God

T oxic emotions in our cells can bereplaced by the supernatural peace of God

When Godrsquos presence manifests in fullness we find His power wisdom holiness justice mercy love life and radiant

lightmdashand every other attribute of His character and nature

Glory then is the shining forth of the essence of God It is the

very atmosphere of heaven itself In response to the cry in the

heart of Moses God released the rays of His glory to Mount

Sinai in the middle of a desertAfter 983092983088 days and nights during which he was completely

immersed in the glory cloud of Godrsquos presence Moses came

down the mountain and returned to the camp of the Israelites

he appearance of Moses was so different it was scary His face

washellipglowing he light was so bright everyone was frightened

ldquoWhen Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses behold

the skin of his face shone and they were afraid to come near himrdquo

makeovers but this was a makeover that tops them all

Have you ever wondered why Mosesrsquos face shone after he

came down from Mount Sinai Being in the glory of God hadactually transformed the cells of his body How could this

happen We know that it was supernatural but what physical

mechanism in the human body could account for the visible

When we are born again we become a new creation spiritu-

ally but the ldquonew creationrdquo begins to be imprinted on every cell

When our heart (our inner being) changes our cells change Who we become is imprinted on our cells God created us with

the physical capacity to be transformed in the very cells of our

human body983089983089 When we spend time in prayer and grow in

grace and the knowledge of God our cells reflect it983089983090

But we all with unveiled face beholding as in amirror the glory of the Lord are being transformed

into the same image from glory to glory just as by the

Spirit of the Lord (2 Corinthians 318)

Scientific research has documented the positive impact of

prayer on human physiology983089983091

Prayer is more than talking to God Rather prayer is being with God spirit-to-Spirit Every

time we are in the presence of God we are changed ldquoThe

Lordhellipmakes us more and more like him as we are changed into

his glorious imagerdquo (983090 Cor 983091983089983096 NL)

Scientific studies are regularly being published that further

explain the physiology merging emotion identity and spiri-

tuality his research contains some of the most compelling

medical social and spiritual discoveries of the modern age

Some of the most amazing discoveries have demonstrated the

powerful connection between emotions and the physical bodyOur body plays a cellular symphony that celebrates the very

In the Bible we also find many examples of light

without the sun but originating from a supernat-

ural source Most of these are associated with theglory of God which in the Bible is usually mani-

fested as light although sometimes as fire his

is not surprising as the Bible tells us that God is

light (1 John 15 cf John 812) and also that God

is a consuming fire (Deuteronomy 424 Hebrews

1229)16

As Moses discovered we cannot spend time with God with-

out being changed Godrsquos glorious nature transforms us inside

and out ldquo For it is God who commanded light to shine out of dark-

ness who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge

of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ rdquo (983090 Cor 983092983094)Have you ever seen the amazing displays of Christmas lights

timed to music Itrsquos a light orchestra When God touches our

heart we become Godrsquos ldquolight orchestrardquo He is the Conductor

and we are the symphony he more time we spend in the pres-

ence of the Lord the more our cells reflect Godrsquos glorious light

and resonate with His love

E very time the love of God touches ourheart our cells are flooded with glory

Stories from organ transplant recipients illustrate the profound

truth that our identity is written on every cell in our body In A

Change of Heart Claire Sylvia a conservative health-consciousNew England woman tells the story of what she experienced

after a heart and lung transplant Following the surgery she

began to experience strange dreams and inexplicably developed

a taste for beer chicken nuggets and motorcycles his was

completely out of character

After a particularly vivid dream Claire delved into the

history of her organ donor and found out that he was an

983089983096-year-old motorcycle enthusiast who loved chicken nuggets

and beer After much difficulty she discovered his name was

im L and that he had died in a motorcycle accident Along

with her new heart cells apparently came a part of the young manmdashhis memoriesmdashboth his likes and dislikes983089

In The Heartrsquos Code psychologist Paul Pearsall describes

the story of an eight-year-old girl who began to have nightmares

following a heart transplant he organ donor was another

young girl age ten After the transplant she began to have hor-

rific dreams about a murder hey were so vivid and specific

they eventually led to the capture of the murderer who had infact killed the donor Evidence from the nightmares included

the time of the murder the weapon and the clothes the mur-

derer wore hese details were all absolutely accurate983090

Identity Is Written in Our Cells

hese stories are just two among many hundreds of similarstories from organ transplant recipients who frequently expe-

rience memories and tastes of those whose organs they have

received983091 he impartation of inherited memories from organ

donors into the personalities of recipients illustrates the pro-

found truth that who we are is somehow written on our cells

How can this be

ldquoIdentityrdquo is not just the distinguishing personal concep-

tion personality or fingerprint signature of an individual It is

a biological reality down to the cellular level Every cell in our

body records our identity983092 he surface of each one of our cells

has ldquoidentity receptorsrdquo or human leukocyte antigens (HLA)Although our cells retain the same identity the story told by

our cells develops over the course of a lifetime A chronicle of

our entire life is continuously being recorded within our cells

from cradle to grave When we change our cells change Our

biography becomes our biology ldquoWerdquo are written in our cells

Our unique ldquoselfrdquo is encoded in our biological identityRecognition of HLA by the immune system gives the cell its

right to belong within a community of cells he immune sys-

tem wonrsquot accept cells with different identities perceiving them

O ur biography becomes our biology

Of course this poses a problem in organ transplants he

identity receptors of the organ recipient will not recognize the

ldquoalienrdquo identity of the transplanted organ o prevent organ

rejection recipients of organ transplants must take medication

that suppresses the activity of the immune system so their bod-ies wonrsquot try to destroy the transplanted organ

Te Physical Environment Changes Cells

Our nutritional environment changes our cells We all

know that nutrition affects our health Certain vitamins for

example are recommended to strengthen our immune system

Many optometrists recommend vitamins for ocular health

Vitamins and supplements are good for joint health Headlines

regularly announce the discovery of new superfoods dietary

aids or herbal supplements as the latest keys to good nutri-

tional health What we ingest makes a difference in our cellsPhysical environment plays a vital role in the health of cells

When a cell is ailing check its environment If an organism has

too little water the cells dehydrate If it lacks essential nutri-

ents the cells become malnourished If the cells of an organism

are healthy the organism is healthy and vice versa Yet is physi-

cal environment all there is to health

Emotions Change Cells

physiology Our face may turn red with embarrassment Our

voice can become shaky when we are nervous Fear can make

our hands tremble and our skin feel cold Feelings of affection

dilate the pupils of the eyes Extreme anger may cause peopleto ldquosee redrdquo Rage redirects blood flow away from the frontal

lobes of the brain resulting in a decreased capacity for rational

thought (hat is why a distinction is made in courts of law

between crimes of passion and crimes that are premeditated)

Scientific studies indicate that good and bad emotions983093

our stress level983094 and the quality of our social relationships983095 affect

our entire bodymdashdown to the cellular level (We will cover this

more thoroughly in later chapters) Many medical professionals

regularly warn patients about stress in their lives because of its

harmful effects on their bodies

Stress exists in your mindmdashbut itrsquos also evident in

your stomach heart muscles and even your toes

ldquoIn fact stresshellip[affects] every cell in your bodyrdquo

says Ronald Glaser PhD a researcher at [he]

Ohio State University Medical School8

Dr Candace Pert a neuroscientist who helped discover a

fundamental element of brain chemistry in relation to emo-

tions made the amazing discovery that the primary mechanism

of cellular change is emotional Our emotions inscribe who we

are on our cells From the love of a mother during infancy to the

emotional traumas of childhood to the worries of adulthoodeverything is remembered by our cells Emotional memory is

stored at the cellular level983097 he brain can think and remember

but who we truly are our identity is a matter of our emotional

being Our emotions inscribe who we are on our cells

Molecules of emotion are the intercom system of the body

hey inform all the cells about how we are responding to

everything in life How does this happen Our emotions aretransmitted throughout our entire body via tiny signal hor-

mones Our cells read emotional information through ldquoemotion

receptorsrdquo on the surface of each cell Emotional information is

received into our cells and identity receptors record the changes

he identity receptors on our cells contain our entire lifestory hey tell what our life has been like hey record the

beliefs of our innermost being here is an old saying about

people who donrsquot hide their emotions ldquoheir heart is writ-

ten on their sleeverdquo In truth it would be more accurate to say

ldquoOur heart is written on our cellsrdquo

O ur heart is written on our cells

Te Holy Spirit Changes Cells

When we are born again a spiritual transformation takes place We become God-indwelt a new creation If a trans-

planted organ can change some aspects of an unbelieverrsquos

individual identity how much more influence should our new

creation identity have on us

Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation

old things have passed away behold all things have

become new (2 Corinthians 517)

It is wonderful news for believers to know that we arenrsquot

bound by our past Do you remember when you got saved

sometimes feel the peace of God in the atmosphere Christians

experience supernatural peace within Because Jesus has given us

His peace as a gift it is always available for us (see John 983089983092983090983095)

O ur emotions inscribe who we are on our cells

Not everything in our lives is taken care of at the time

of our conversion We all have some pre-salvation baggage of

unhealed emotional wounds and traumas If we remember any

situation and still feel pain (or any other negative emotion) it is

still stored in cellular memory he fact of an emotional wound

is a matter of historical record We canrsquot change history

When God heals us however we have a testimonymdasha new

heavenly record of peace in our heart983089983088 When the Holy Spirit cleanses our wounds and traumas forgiveness washes away neg-

ative emotions oxic emotions in our cells are then replaced by

the supernatural peace of God

Our body therefore has the capacity to be changed in the

presence of God Moses made a bold and startling request ofGod in Exodus 983091983091983089983096 ldquoPlease show me Your gloryrdquo It is even

more astonishing that God granted the desire of Mosesrsquos heart

What is Godrsquos glorymdash kabod in Hebrew Glory is the sum total

of all God is His glory is the infinite splendor majesty beauty

brilliance of the presence of God

T oxic emotions in our cells can bereplaced by the supernatural peace of God

When Godrsquos presence manifests in fullness we find His power wisdom holiness justice mercy love life and radiant

lightmdashand every other attribute of His character and nature

Glory then is the shining forth of the essence of God It is the

very atmosphere of heaven itself In response to the cry in the

heart of Moses God released the rays of His glory to Mount

Sinai in the middle of a desertAfter 983092983088 days and nights during which he was completely

immersed in the glory cloud of Godrsquos presence Moses came

down the mountain and returned to the camp of the Israelites

he appearance of Moses was so different it was scary His face

washellipglowing he light was so bright everyone was frightened

ldquoWhen Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses behold

the skin of his face shone and they were afraid to come near himrdquo

(Exod 983091983092983090983097-983091983088) We can watch reality shows about extreme

makeovers but this was a makeover that tops them all

Have you ever wondered why Mosesrsquos face shone after he

came down from Mount Sinai Being in the glory of God hadactually transformed the cells of his body How could this

happen We know that it was supernatural but what physical

mechanism in the human body could account for the visible

When we are born again we become a new creation spiritu-

ally but the ldquonew creationrdquo begins to be imprinted on every cell

When our heart (our inner being) changes our cells change Who we become is imprinted on our cells God created us with

the physical capacity to be transformed in the very cells of our

human body983089983089 When we spend time in prayer and grow in

grace and the knowledge of God our cells reflect it983089983090

But we all with unveiled face beholding as in amirror the glory of the Lord are being transformed

into the same image from glory to glory just as by the

Spirit of the Lord (2 Corinthians 318)

Scientific research has documented the positive impact of

prayer on human physiology983089983091

Prayer is more than talking to God Rather prayer is being with God spirit-to-Spirit Every

time we are in the presence of God we are changed ldquoThe

Lordhellipmakes us more and more like him as we are changed into

his glorious imagerdquo (983090 Cor 983091983089983096 NL)

Scientific studies are regularly being published that further

explain the physiology merging emotion identity and spiri-

medical social and spiritual discoveries of the modern age

Some of the most amazing discoveries have demonstrated the

powerful connection between emotions and the physical bodyOur body plays a cellular symphony that celebrates the very

In the Bible we also find many examples of light

without the sun but originating from a supernat-

ural source Most of these are associated with theglory of God which in the Bible is usually mani-

fested as light although sometimes as fire his

is not surprising as the Bible tells us that God is

light (1 John 15 cf John 812) and also that God

is a consuming fire (Deuteronomy 424 Hebrews

1229)16

As Moses discovered we cannot spend time with God with-

out being changed Godrsquos glorious nature transforms us inside

and out ldquo For it is God who commanded light to shine out of dark-

ness who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge

of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ rdquo (983090 Cor 983092983094)Have you ever seen the amazing displays of Christmas lights

heart we become Godrsquos ldquolight orchestrardquo He is the Conductor

and we are the symphony he more time we spend in the pres-

ence of the Lord the more our cells reflect Godrsquos glorious light

and resonate with His love

E very time the love of God touches ourheart our cells are flooded with glory

Stories from organ transplant recipients illustrate the profound

truth that our identity is written on every cell in our body In A

Change of Heart Claire Sylvia a conservative health-consciousNew England woman tells the story of what she experienced

after a heart and lung transplant Following the surgery she

began to experience strange dreams and inexplicably developed

a taste for beer chicken nuggets and motorcycles his was

completely out of character

After a particularly vivid dream Claire delved into the

history of her organ donor and found out that he was an

983089983096-year-old motorcycle enthusiast who loved chicken nuggets

and beer After much difficulty she discovered his name was

im L and that he had died in a motorcycle accident Along

with her new heart cells apparently came a part of the young manmdashhis memoriesmdashboth his likes and dislikes983089

In The Heartrsquos Code psychologist Paul Pearsall describes

the story of an eight-year-old girl who began to have nightmares

following a heart transplant he organ donor was another

young girl age ten After the transplant she began to have hor-

rific dreams about a murder hey were so vivid and specific

they eventually led to the capture of the murderer who had infact killed the donor Evidence from the nightmares included

the time of the murder the weapon and the clothes the mur-

derer wore hese details were all absolutely accurate983090

Identity Is Written in Our Cells

hese stories are just two among many hundreds of similarstories from organ transplant recipients who frequently expe-

rience memories and tastes of those whose organs they have

received983091 he impartation of inherited memories from organ

donors into the personalities of recipients illustrates the pro-

found truth that who we are is somehow written on our cells

How can this be

ldquoIdentityrdquo is not just the distinguishing personal concep-

tion personality or fingerprint signature of an individual It is

a biological reality down to the cellular level Every cell in our

body records our identity983092 he surface of each one of our cells

has ldquoidentity receptorsrdquo or human leukocyte antigens (HLA)Although our cells retain the same identity the story told by

our cells develops over the course of a lifetime A chronicle of

our entire life is continuously being recorded within our cells

from cradle to grave When we change our cells change Our

biography becomes our biology ldquoWerdquo are written in our cells

Our unique ldquoselfrdquo is encoded in our biological identityRecognition of HLA by the immune system gives the cell its

right to belong within a community of cells he immune sys-

tem wonrsquot accept cells with different identities perceiving them

O ur biography becomes our biology

Of course this poses a problem in organ transplants he

identity receptors of the organ recipient will not recognize the

ldquoalienrdquo identity of the transplanted organ o prevent organ

rejection recipients of organ transplants must take medication

that suppresses the activity of the immune system so their bod-ies wonrsquot try to destroy the transplanted organ

Te Physical Environment Changes Cells

Our nutritional environment changes our cells We all

know that nutrition affects our health Certain vitamins for

example are recommended to strengthen our immune system

Many optometrists recommend vitamins for ocular health

Vitamins and supplements are good for joint health Headlines

regularly announce the discovery of new superfoods dietary

aids or herbal supplements as the latest keys to good nutri-

tional health What we ingest makes a difference in our cellsPhysical environment plays a vital role in the health of cells

When a cell is ailing check its environment If an organism has

too little water the cells dehydrate If it lacks essential nutri-

ents the cells become malnourished If the cells of an organism

are healthy the organism is healthy and vice versa Yet is physi-

cal environment all there is to health

physiology Our face may turn red with embarrassment Our

lobes of the brain resulting in a decreased capacity for rational

Scientific studies indicate that good and bad emotions983093

our stress level983094 and the quality of our social relationships983095 affect

our entire bodymdashdown to the cellular level (We will cover this

regularly warn patients about stress in their lives because of its

harmful effects on their bodies

fundamental element of brain chemistry in relation to emo-

of cellular change is emotional Our emotions inscribe who we

are on our cells From the love of a mother during infancy to the

emotional traumas of childhood to the worries of adulthoodeverything is remembered by our cells Emotional memory is

Molecules of emotion are the intercom system of the body

hey inform all the cells about how we are responding to

everything in life How does this happen Our emotions aretransmitted throughout our entire body via tiny signal hor-

mones Our cells read emotional information through ldquoemotion

receptorsrdquo on the surface of each cell Emotional information is

received into our cells and identity receptors record the changes

he identity receptors on our cells contain our entire lifestory hey tell what our life has been like hey record the

beliefs of our innermost being here is an old saying about

people who donrsquot hide their emotions ldquoheir heart is writ-

ten on their sleeverdquo In truth it would be more accurate to say

ldquoOur heart is written on our cellsrdquo

O ur heart is written on our cells

Te Holy Spirit Changes Cells

When we are born again a spiritual transformation takes place We become God-indwelt a new creation If a trans-

planted organ can change some aspects of an unbelieverrsquos

individual identity how much more influence should our new

creation identity have on us

Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation

old things have passed away behold all things have

become new (2 Corinthians 517)

Suddenly everything in life seemed new Your thoughts changed

you made different choices and your emotions were impacted

When you received forgiveness for your sins you experienced

peace with God for the first time Although unbelievers can

sometimes feel the peace of God in the atmosphere Christians

experience supernatural peace within Because Jesus has given us

His peace as a gift it is always available for us (see John 983089983092983090983095)

O ur emotions inscribe who we are on our cells

Not everything in our lives is taken care of at the time

of our conversion We all have some pre-salvation baggage of

unhealed emotional wounds and traumas If we remember any

situation and still feel pain (or any other negative emotion) it is

still stored in cellular memory he fact of an emotional wound

is a matter of historical record We canrsquot change history

When God heals us however we have a testimonymdasha new

heavenly record of peace in our heart983089983088 When the Holy Spirit cleanses our wounds and traumas forgiveness washes away neg-

ative emotions oxic emotions in our cells are then replaced by

the supernatural peace of God

Our body therefore has the capacity to be changed in the

presence of God Moses made a bold and startling request ofGod in Exodus 983091983091983089983096 ldquoPlease show me Your gloryrdquo It is even

more astonishing that God granted the desire of Mosesrsquos heart

What is Godrsquos glorymdash kabod in Hebrew Glory is the sum total

of all God is His glory is the infinite splendor majesty beauty

brilliance of the presence of God

T oxic emotions in our cells can bereplaced by the supernatural peace of God

When Godrsquos presence manifests in fullness we find His power wisdom holiness justice mercy love life and radiant

lightmdashand every other attribute of His character and nature

Glory then is the shining forth of the essence of God It is the

very atmosphere of heaven itself In response to the cry in the

heart of Moses God released the rays of His glory to Mount

Sinai in the middle of a desertAfter 983092983088 days and nights during which he was completely

immersed in the glory cloud of Godrsquos presence Moses came

down the mountain and returned to the camp of the Israelites

he appearance of Moses was so different it was scary His face

washellipglowing he light was so bright everyone was frightened

ldquoWhen Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses behold

the skin of his face shone and they were afraid to come near himrdquo

(Exod 983091983092983090983097-983091983088) We can watch reality shows about extreme

makeovers but this was a makeover that tops them all

Have you ever wondered why Mosesrsquos face shone after he

came down from Mount Sinai Being in the glory of God hadactually transformed the cells of his body How could this

happen We know that it was supernatural but what physical

mechanism in the human body could account for the visible

When we are born again we become a new creation spiritu-

When our heart (our inner being) changes our cells change Who we become is imprinted on our cells God created us with

the physical capacity to be transformed in the very cells of our

human body983089983089 When we spend time in prayer and grow in

grace and the knowledge of God our cells reflect it983089983090

But we all with unveiled face beholding as in amirror the glory of the Lord are being transformed

into the same image from glory to glory just as by the

Spirit of the Lord (2 Corinthians 318)

Scientific research has documented the positive impact of

prayer on human physiology983089983091

Prayer is more than talking to God Rather prayer is being with God spirit-to-Spirit Every

time we are in the presence of God we are changed ldquoThe

Lordhellipmakes us more and more like him as we are changed into

his glorious imagerdquo (983090 Cor 983091983089983096 NL)

In the Bible we also find many examples of light

without the sun but originating from a supernat-

ural source Most of these are associated with theglory of God which in the Bible is usually mani-

fested as light although sometimes as fire his

is not surprising as the Bible tells us that God is

light (1 John 15 cf John 812) and also that God

is a consuming fire (Deuteronomy 424 Hebrews

1229)16

As Moses discovered we cannot spend time with God with-

out being changed Godrsquos glorious nature transforms us inside

and out ldquo For it is God who commanded light to shine out of dark-

ness who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge

of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ rdquo (983090 Cor 983092983094)Have you ever seen the amazing displays of Christmas lights

heart we become Godrsquos ldquolight orchestrardquo He is the Conductor

and we are the symphony he more time we spend in the pres-

ence of the Lord the more our cells reflect Godrsquos glorious light

and resonate with His love

E very time the love of God touches ourheart our cells are flooded with glory

Stories from organ transplant recipients illustrate the profound

truth that our identity is written on every cell in our body In A

Change of Heart Claire Sylvia a conservative health-consciousNew England woman tells the story of what she experienced

after a heart and lung transplant Following the surgery she

began to experience strange dreams and inexplicably developed

a taste for beer chicken nuggets and motorcycles his was

completely out of character

After a particularly vivid dream Claire delved into the

history of her organ donor and found out that he was an

983089983096-year-old motorcycle enthusiast who loved chicken nuggets

and beer After much difficulty she discovered his name was

im L and that he had died in a motorcycle accident Along

with her new heart cells apparently came a part of the young manmdashhis memoriesmdashboth his likes and dislikes983089

In The Heartrsquos Code psychologist Paul Pearsall describes

the story of an eight-year-old girl who began to have nightmares

following a heart transplant he organ donor was another

rific dreams about a murder hey were so vivid and specific

they eventually led to the capture of the murderer who had infact killed the donor Evidence from the nightmares included

the time of the murder the weapon and the clothes the mur-

derer wore hese details were all absolutely accurate983090

Identity Is Written in Our Cells

hese stories are just two among many hundreds of similarstories from organ transplant recipients who frequently expe-

rience memories and tastes of those whose organs they have

received983091 he impartation of inherited memories from organ

donors into the personalities of recipients illustrates the pro-

found truth that who we are is somehow written on our cells

How can this be

ldquoIdentityrdquo is not just the distinguishing personal concep-

tion personality or fingerprint signature of an individual It is

a biological reality down to the cellular level Every cell in our

body records our identity983092 he surface of each one of our cells

has ldquoidentity receptorsrdquo or human leukocyte antigens (HLA)Although our cells retain the same identity the story told by

our cells develops over the course of a lifetime A chronicle of

our entire life is continuously being recorded within our cells

from cradle to grave When we change our cells change Our

biography becomes our biology ldquoWerdquo are written in our cells

Our unique ldquoselfrdquo is encoded in our biological identityRecognition of HLA by the immune system gives the cell its

right to belong within a community of cells he immune sys-

tem wonrsquot accept cells with different identities perceiving them

O ur biography becomes our biology

Of course this poses a problem in organ transplants he

identity receptors of the organ recipient will not recognize the

ldquoalienrdquo identity of the transplanted organ o prevent organ

rejection recipients of organ transplants must take medication

that suppresses the activity of the immune system so their bod-ies wonrsquot try to destroy the transplanted organ

Te Physical Environment Changes Cells

Our nutritional environment changes our cells We all

know that nutrition affects our health Certain vitamins for

example are recommended to strengthen our immune system

Many optometrists recommend vitamins for ocular health

Vitamins and supplements are good for joint health Headlines

regularly announce the discovery of new superfoods dietary

aids or herbal supplements as the latest keys to good nutri-

tional health What we ingest makes a difference in our cellsPhysical environment plays a vital role in the health of cells

When a cell is ailing check its environment If an organism has

too little water the cells dehydrate If it lacks essential nutri-

ents the cells become malnourished If the cells of an organism

are healthy the organism is healthy and vice versa Yet is physi-

cal environment all there is to health

Te Holy Spirit Changes Cells

When we are born again a spiritual transformation takes place We become God-indwelt a new creation If a trans-

planted organ can change some aspects of an unbelieverrsquos

individual identity how much more influence should our new

creation identity have on us

Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation

old things have passed away behold all things have

become new (2 Corinthians 517)

It is wonderful news for believers to know that we arenrsquot

bound by our past Do you remember when you got saved

Suddenly everything in life seemed new Your thoughts changed

you made different choices and your emotions were impacted

When you received forgiveness for your sins you experienced

peace with God for the first time Although unbelievers can

sometimes feel the peace of God in the atmosphere Christians

experience supernatural peace within Because Jesus has given us

His peace as a gift it is always available for us (see John 983089983092983090983095)

O ur emotions inscribe who we are on our cells

Not everything in our lives is taken care of at the time

of our conversion We all have some pre-salvation baggage of

unhealed emotional wounds and traumas If we remember any

situation and still feel pain (or any other negative emotion) it is

still stored in cellular memory he fact of an emotional wound

is a matter of historical record We canrsquot change history

When God heals us however we have a testimonymdasha new

heavenly record of peace in our heart983089983088 When the Holy Spirit cleanses our wounds and traumas forgiveness washes away neg-

ative emotions oxic emotions in our cells are then replaced by

the supernatural peace of God

Our body therefore has the capacity to be changed in the

presence of God Moses made a bold and startling request ofGod in Exodus 983091983091983089983096 ldquoPlease show me Your gloryrdquo It is even

more astonishing that God granted the desire of Mosesrsquos heart

What is Godrsquos glorymdash kabod in Hebrew Glory is the sum total

of all God is His glory is the infinite splendor majesty beauty

and greatness of God in His manifold perfections Glory is the

brilliance of the presence of God

T oxic emotions in our cells can bereplaced by the supernatural peace of God

When Godrsquos presence manifests in fullness we find His power wisdom holiness justice mercy love life and radiant

lightmdashand every other attribute of His character and nature

Glory then is the shining forth of the essence of God It is the

very atmosphere of heaven itself In response to the cry in the

heart of Moses God released the rays of His glory to Mount

Sinai in the middle of a desertAfter 983092983088 days and nights during which he was completely

immersed in the glory cloud of Godrsquos presence Moses came

down the mountain and returned to the camp of the Israelites

he appearance of Moses was so different it was scary His face

washellipglowing he light was so bright everyone was frightened

ldquoWhen Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses behold

the skin of his face shone and they were afraid to come near himrdquo

(Exod 983091983092983090983097-983091983088) We can watch reality shows about extreme

makeovers but this was a makeover that tops them all

Have you ever wondered why Mosesrsquos face shone after he

came down from Mount Sinai Being in the glory of God hadactually transformed the cells of his body How could this

happen We know that it was supernatural but what physical

mechanism in the human body could account for the visible

When we are born again we become a new creation spiritu-

ally but the ldquonew creationrdquo begins to be imprinted on every cell

When our heart (our inner being) changes our cells change Who we become is imprinted on our cells God created us with

the physical capacity to be transformed in the very cells of our

human body983089983089 When we spend time in prayer and grow in

grace and the knowledge of God our cells reflect it983089983090

But we all with unveiled face beholding as in amirror the glory of the Lord are being transformed

into the same image from glory to glory just as by the

Spirit of the Lord (2 Corinthians 318)

Scientific research has documented the positive impact of

prayer on human physiology983089983091

Prayer is more than talking to God Rather prayer is being with God spirit-to-Spirit Every

time we are in the presence of God we are changed ldquoThe

Lordhellipmakes us more and more like him as we are changed into

his glorious imagerdquo (983090 Cor 983091983089983096 NL)

Scientific studies are regularly being published that further

explain the physiology merging emotion identity and spiri-

tuality his research contains some of the most compelling

medical social and spiritual discoveries of the modern age

Some of the most amazing discoveries have demonstrated the

powerful connection between emotions and the physical bodyOur body plays a cellular symphony that celebrates the very

In the Bible we also find many examples of light

without the sun but originating from a supernat-

ural source Most of these are associated with theglory of God which in the Bible is usually mani-

fested as light although sometimes as fire his

is not surprising as the Bible tells us that God is

light (1 John 15 cf John 812) and also that God

is a consuming fire (Deuteronomy 424 Hebrews

1229)16

As Moses discovered we cannot spend time with God with-

out being changed Godrsquos glorious nature transforms us inside

and out ldquo For it is God who commanded light to shine out of dark-

ness who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge

of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ rdquo (983090 Cor 983092983094)Have you ever seen the amazing displays of Christmas lights

heart we become Godrsquos ldquolight orchestrardquo He is the Conductor

and we are the symphony he more time we spend in the pres-

ence of the Lord the more our cells reflect Godrsquos glorious light

and resonate with His love

E very time the love of God touches ourheart our cells are flooded with glory

Stories from organ transplant recipients illustrate the profound

truth that our identity is written on every cell in our body In A

Change of Heart Claire Sylvia a conservative health-consciousNew England woman tells the story of what she experienced

after a heart and lung transplant Following the surgery she

began to experience strange dreams and inexplicably developed

a taste for beer chicken nuggets and motorcycles his was

completely out of character

After a particularly vivid dream Claire delved into the

history of her organ donor and found out that he was an

983089983096-year-old motorcycle enthusiast who loved chicken nuggets

and beer After much difficulty she discovered his name was

im L and that he had died in a motorcycle accident Along

with her new heart cells apparently came a part of the young manmdashhis memoriesmdashboth his likes and dislikes983089

In The Heartrsquos Code psychologist Paul Pearsall describes

the story of an eight-year-old girl who began to have nightmares

following a heart transplant he organ donor was another

rific dreams about a murder hey were so vivid and specific

they eventually led to the capture of the murderer who had infact killed the donor Evidence from the nightmares included

the time of the murder the weapon and the clothes the mur-

derer wore hese details were all absolutely accurate983090

Identity Is Written in Our Cells

hese stories are just two among many hundreds of similarstories from organ transplant recipients who frequently expe-

rience memories and tastes of those whose organs they have

received983091 he impartation of inherited memories from organ

donors into the personalities of recipients illustrates the pro-

found truth that who we are is somehow written on our cells

How can this be

ldquoIdentityrdquo is not just the distinguishing personal concep-

tion personality or fingerprint signature of an individual It is

a biological reality down to the cellular level Every cell in our

body records our identity983092 he surface of each one of our cells

has ldquoidentity receptorsrdquo or human leukocyte antigens (HLA)Although our cells retain the same identity the story told by

our cells develops over the course of a lifetime A chronicle of

our entire life is continuously being recorded within our cells

from cradle to grave When we change our cells change Our

biography becomes our biology ldquoWerdquo are written in our cells

Our unique ldquoselfrdquo is encoded in our biological identityRecognition of HLA by the immune system gives the cell its

right to belong within a community of cells he immune sys-

tem wonrsquot accept cells with different identities perceiving them

Of course this poses a problem in organ transplants he

identity receptors of the organ recipient will not recognize the

ldquoalienrdquo identity of the transplanted organ o prevent organ

rejection recipients of organ transplants must take medication

that suppresses the activity of the immune system so their bod-ies wonrsquot try to destroy the transplanted organ

Te Physical Environment Changes Cells

Our nutritional environment changes our cells We all

know that nutrition affects our health Certain vitamins for

example are recommended to strengthen our immune system

Many optometrists recommend vitamins for ocular health

Vitamins and supplements are good for joint health Headlines

regularly announce the discovery of new superfoods dietary

aids or herbal supplements as the latest keys to good nutri-

tional health What we ingest makes a difference in our cellsPhysical environment plays a vital role in the health of cells

When a cell is ailing check its environment If an organism has

too little water the cells dehydrate If it lacks essential nutri-

ents the cells become malnourished If the cells of an organism

are healthy the organism is healthy and vice versa Yet is physi-

cal environment all there is to health

hey inform all the cells about how we are responding to

everything in life How does this happen Our emotions aretransmitted throughout our entire body via tiny signal hor-

received into our cells and identity receptors record the changes

When we are born again a spiritual transformation takes place We become God-indwelt a new creation If a trans-

planted organ can change some aspects of an unbelieverrsquos

individual identity how much more influence should our new

creation identity have on us

Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation

old things have passed away behold all things have

become new (2 Corinthians 517)

It is wonderful news for believers to know that we arenrsquot

bound by our past Do you remember when you got saved

Suddenly everything in life seemed new Your thoughts changed

you made different choices and your emotions were impacted

When you received forgiveness for your sins you experienced

peace with God for the first time Although unbelievers can

sometimes feel the peace of God in the atmosphere Christians

experience supernatural peace within Because Jesus has given us

His peace as a gift it is always available for us (see John 983089983092983090983095)

O ur emotions inscribe who we are on our cells

Not everything in our lives is taken care of at the time

of our conversion We all have some pre-salvation baggage of

unhealed emotional wounds and traumas If we remember any

situation and still feel pain (or any other negative emotion) it is

still stored in cellular memory he fact of an emotional wound

is a matter of historical record We canrsquot change history

When God heals us however we have a testimonymdasha new

heavenly record of peace in our heart983089983088 When the Holy Spirit cleanses our wounds and traumas forgiveness washes away neg-

ative emotions oxic emotions in our cells are then replaced by

the supernatural peace of God

Our body therefore has the capacity to be changed in the

presence of God Moses made a bold and startling request ofGod in Exodus 983091983091983089983096 ldquoPlease show me Your gloryrdquo It is even

more astonishing that God granted the desire of Mosesrsquos heart

What is Godrsquos glorymdash kabod in Hebrew Glory is the sum total

of all God is His glory is the infinite splendor majesty beauty

and greatness of God in His manifold perfections Glory is the

brilliance of the presence of God

T oxic emotions in our cells can bereplaced by the supernatural peace of God

When Godrsquos presence manifests in fullness we find His power wisdom holiness justice mercy love life and radiant

lightmdashand every other attribute of His character and nature

Glory then is the shining forth of the essence of God It is the

very atmosphere of heaven itself In response to the cry in the

heart of Moses God released the rays of His glory to Mount

Sinai in the middle of a desertAfter 983092983088 days and nights during which he was completely

immersed in the glory cloud of Godrsquos presence Moses came

down the mountain and returned to the camp of the Israelites

he appearance of Moses was so different it was scary His face

washellipglowing he light was so bright everyone was frightened

ldquoWhen Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses behold

the skin of his face shone and they were afraid to come near himrdquo

(Exod 983091983092983090983097-983091983088) We can watch reality shows about extreme

makeovers but this was a makeover that tops them all

Have you ever wondered why Mosesrsquos face shone after he

came down from Mount Sinai Being in the glory of God hadactually transformed the cells of his body How could this

happen We know that it was supernatural but what physical

mechanism in the human body could account for the visible

When we are born again we become a new creation spiritu-

ally but the ldquonew creationrdquo begins to be imprinted on every cell

When our heart (our inner being) changes our cells change Who we become is imprinted on our cells God created us with

the physical capacity to be transformed in the very cells of our

human body983089983089 When we spend time in prayer and grow in

grace and the knowledge of God our cells reflect it983089983090

But we all with unveiled face beholding as in amirror the glory of the Lord are being transformed

into the same image from glory to glory just as by the

Spirit of the Lord (2 Corinthians 318)

Scientific research has documented the positive impact of

prayer on human physiology983089983091

Prayer is more than talking to God Rather prayer is being with God spirit-to-Spirit Every

time we are in the presence of God we are changed ldquoThe

Lordhellipmakes us more and more like him as we are changed into

his glorious imagerdquo (983090 Cor 983091983089983096 NL)

Scientific studies are regularly being published that further

explain the physiology merging emotion identity and spiri-

tuality his research contains some of the most compelling

medical social and spiritual discoveries of the modern age

Some of the most amazing discoveries have demonstrated the

powerful connection between emotions and the physical bodyOur body plays a cellular symphony that celebrates the very

essence of our being983089983092 When molecules of emotion encounter cell

receptors molecule and receptor vibrate and hum together creat-

When we are in prayer our natural emotions are infused

When the Bible says that believers ldquosing a new song to the Lordrdquo they really do (Ps 983097983094983089 NL) Our whole new-creation being

vibrates in harmony with God

When the love of God touches our heart our cells are

flooded with glory We may not experience the same intensity

of glory that Moses experienced However Christ in us is ourldquoconfident expectationrdquo of glory now not just in the future (see

Col 983089983090983095) In Jesusrsquos prayer to His Father He says ldquoThe glory

In the Bible we also find many examples of light

without the sun but originating from a supernat-

ural source Most of these are associated with theglory of God which in the Bible is usually mani-

fested as light although sometimes as fire his

is not surprising as the Bible tells us that God is

light (1 John 15 cf John 812) and also that God

is a consuming fire (Deuteronomy 424 Hebrews

1229)16

As Moses discovered we cannot spend time with God with-

out being changed Godrsquos glorious nature transforms us inside

and out ldquo For it is God who commanded light to shine out of dark-

ness who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge

of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ rdquo (983090 Cor 983092983094)Have you ever seen the amazing displays of Christmas lights

timed to music Itrsquos a light orchestra When God touches our

heart we become Godrsquos ldquolight orchestrardquo He is the Conductor

and we are the symphony he more time we spend in the pres-

ence of the Lord the more our cells reflect Godrsquos glorious light

and resonate with His love

E very time the love of God touches ourheart our cells are flooded with glory

Stories from organ transplant recipients illustrate the profound

truth that our identity is written on every cell in our body In A

Change of Heart Claire Sylvia a conservative health-consciousNew England woman tells the story of what she experienced

after a heart and lung transplant Following the surgery she

began to experience strange dreams and inexplicably developed

a taste for beer chicken nuggets and motorcycles his was

completely out of character

After a particularly vivid dream Claire delved into the

history of her organ donor and found out that he was an

983089983096-year-old motorcycle enthusiast who loved chicken nuggets

and beer After much difficulty she discovered his name was

im L and that he had died in a motorcycle accident Along

with her new heart cells apparently came a part of the young manmdashhis memoriesmdashboth his likes and dislikes983089

In The Heartrsquos Code psychologist Paul Pearsall describes

the story of an eight-year-old girl who began to have nightmares

following a heart transplant he organ donor was another

young girl age ten After the transplant she began to have hor-

rific dreams about a murder hey were so vivid and specific

they eventually led to the capture of the murderer who had infact killed the donor Evidence from the nightmares included

the time of the murder the weapon and the clothes the mur-

derer wore hese details were all absolutely accurate983090

Identity Is Written in Our Cells

hese stories are just two among many hundreds of similarstories from organ transplant recipients who frequently expe-

rience memories and tastes of those whose organs they have

received983091 he impartation of inherited memories from organ

donors into the personalities of recipients illustrates the pro-

found truth that who we are is somehow written on our cells

How can this be

ldquoIdentityrdquo is not just the distinguishing personal concep-

tion personality or fingerprint signature of an individual It is

a biological reality down to the cellular level Every cell in our

body records our identity983092 he surface of each one of our cells

has ldquoidentity receptorsrdquo or human leukocyte antigens (HLA)Although our cells retain the same identity the story told by

our cells develops over the course of a lifetime A chronicle of

our entire life is continuously being recorded within our cells

from cradle to grave When we change our cells change Our

biography becomes our biology ldquoWerdquo are written in our cells

Our unique ldquoselfrdquo is encoded in our biological identityRecognition of HLA by the immune system gives the cell its

right to belong within a community of cells he immune sys-

tem wonrsquot accept cells with different identities perceiving them

O ur biography becomes our biology

Of course this poses a problem in organ transplants he

identity receptors of the organ recipient will not recognize the

ldquoalienrdquo identity of the transplanted organ o prevent organ

rejection recipients of organ transplants must take medication

that suppresses the activity of the immune system so their bod-ies wonrsquot try to destroy the transplanted organ

Te Physical Environment Changes Cells

Our nutritional environment changes our cells We all

know that nutrition affects our health Certain vitamins for

example are recommended to strengthen our immune system

Many optometrists recommend vitamins for ocular health

Vitamins and supplements are good for joint health Headlines

regularly announce the discovery of new superfoods dietary

aids or herbal supplements as the latest keys to good nutri-

tional health What we ingest makes a difference in our cellsPhysical environment plays a vital role in the health of cells

When a cell is ailing check its environment If an organism has

too little water the cells dehydrate If it lacks essential nutri-

ents the cells become malnourished If the cells of an organism

are healthy the organism is healthy and vice versa Yet is physi-

cal environment all there is to health

physiology Our face may turn red with embarrassment Our

Molecules of emotion are the intercom system of the body

hey inform all the cells about how we are responding to

everything in life How does this happen Our emotions aretransmitted throughout our entire body via tiny signal hor-

mones Our cells read emotional information through ldquoemotion

receptorsrdquo on the surface of each cell Emotional information is

received into our cells and identity receptors record the changes

he identity receptors on our cells contain our entire lifestory hey tell what our life has been like hey record the

beliefs of our innermost being here is an old saying about

people who donrsquot hide their emotions ldquoheir heart is writ-

Te Holy Spirit Changes Cells

When we are born again a spiritual transformation takes place We become God-indwelt a new creation If a trans-

planted organ can change some aspects of an unbelieverrsquos

individual identity how much more influence should our new

Suddenly everything in life seemed new Your thoughts changed

you made different choices and your emotions were impacted

When you received forgiveness for your sins you experienced

peace with God for the first time Although unbelievers can

sometimes feel the peace of God in the atmosphere Christians

experience supernatural peace within Because Jesus has given us

His peace as a gift it is always available for us (see John 983089983092983090983095)

O ur emotions inscribe who we are on our cells

Not everything in our lives is taken care of at the time

of our conversion We all have some pre-salvation baggage of

unhealed emotional wounds and traumas If we remember any

situation and still feel pain (or any other negative emotion) it is

still stored in cellular memory he fact of an emotional wound

is a matter of historical record We canrsquot change history

When God heals us however we have a testimonymdasha new

ative emotions oxic emotions in our cells are then replaced by

In the Bible we also find many examples of light

without the sun but originating from a supernat-

ural source Most of these are associated with theglory of God which in the Bible is usually mani-

fested as light although sometimes as fire his

is not surprising as the Bible tells us that God is

light (1 John 15 cf John 812) and also that God

is a consuming fire (Deuteronomy 424 Hebrews

1229)16

As Moses discovered we cannot spend time with God with-

out being changed Godrsquos glorious nature transforms us inside

ness who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge

of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ rdquo (983090 Cor 983092983094)Have you ever seen the amazing displays of Christmas lights

Stories from organ transplant recipients illustrate the profound

truth that our identity is written on every cell in our body In A

Change of Heart Claire Sylvia a conservative health-consciousNew England woman tells the story of what she experienced

after a heart and lung transplant Following the surgery she

began to experience strange dreams and inexplicably developed

a taste for beer chicken nuggets and motorcycles his was

completely out of character

After a particularly vivid dream Claire delved into the

history of her organ donor and found out that he was an

983089983096-year-old motorcycle enthusiast who loved chicken nuggets

and beer After much difficulty she discovered his name was

im L and that he had died in a motorcycle accident Along

with her new heart cells apparently came a part of the young manmdashhis memoriesmdashboth his likes and dislikes983089

In The Heartrsquos Code psychologist Paul Pearsall describes

the story of an eight-year-old girl who began to have nightmares

following a heart transplant he organ donor was another

young girl age ten After the transplant she began to have hor-

rific dreams about a murder hey were so vivid and specific

they eventually led to the capture of the murderer who had infact killed the donor Evidence from the nightmares included

the time of the murder the weapon and the clothes the mur-

derer wore hese details were all absolutely accurate983090

Identity Is Written in Our Cells

hese stories are just two among many hundreds of similarstories from organ transplant recipients who frequently expe-

rience memories and tastes of those whose organs they have

received983091 he impartation of inherited memories from organ

donors into the personalities of recipients illustrates the pro-

found truth that who we are is somehow written on our cells

How can this be

ldquoIdentityrdquo is not just the distinguishing personal concep-

tion personality or fingerprint signature of an individual It is

a biological reality down to the cellular level Every cell in our

body records our identity983092 he surface of each one of our cells

has ldquoidentity receptorsrdquo or human leukocyte antigens (HLA)Although our cells retain the same identity the story told by

our cells develops over the course of a lifetime A chronicle of

our entire life is continuously being recorded within our cells

from cradle to grave When we change our cells change Our

biography becomes our biology ldquoWerdquo are written in our cells

Our unique ldquoselfrdquo is encoded in our biological identityRecognition of HLA by the immune system gives the cell its

right to belong within a community of cells he immune sys-

tem wonrsquot accept cells with different identities perceiving them

O ur biography becomes our biology

Of course this poses a problem in organ transplants he

identity receptors of the organ recipient will not recognize the

ldquoalienrdquo identity of the transplanted organ o prevent organ

rejection recipients of organ transplants must take medication

that suppresses the activity of the immune system so their bod-ies wonrsquot try to destroy the transplanted organ

Te Physical Environment Changes Cells

Our nutritional environment changes our cells We all

know that nutrition affects our health Certain vitamins for

example are recommended to strengthen our immune system

Many optometrists recommend vitamins for ocular health

Vitamins and supplements are good for joint health Headlines

regularly announce the discovery of new superfoods dietary

aids or herbal supplements as the latest keys to good nutri-

tional health What we ingest makes a difference in our cellsPhysical environment plays a vital role in the health of cells

When a cell is ailing check its environment If an organism has

too little water the cells dehydrate If it lacks essential nutri-

ents the cells become malnourished If the cells of an organism

are healthy the organism is healthy and vice versa Yet is physi-

cal environment all there is to health

our hands tremble and our skin feel cold Feelings of affection

dilate the pupils of the eyes Extreme anger may cause peopleto ldquosee redrdquo Rage redirects blood flow away from the frontal

lobes of the brain resulting in a decreased capacity for rational

our stress level983094 and the quality of our social relationships983095 affect

our entire bodymdashdown to the cellular level (We will cover this

regularly warn patients about stress in their lives because of its

harmful effects on their bodies

emotional traumas of childhood to the worries of adulthoodeverything is remembered by our cells Emotional memory is

hey inform all the cells about how we are responding to

everything in life How does this happen Our emotions aretransmitted throughout our entire body via tiny signal hor-

mones Our cells read emotional information through ldquoemotion

receptorsrdquo on the surface of each cell Emotional information is

received into our cells and identity receptors record the changes

beliefs of our innermost being here is an old saying about

people who donrsquot hide their emotions ldquoheir heart is writ-

ldquoOur heart is written on our cellsrdquo

Te Holy Spirit Changes Cells

When we are born again a spiritual transformation takes place We become God-indwelt a new creation If a trans-

planted organ can change some aspects of an unbelieverrsquos

Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation

Stories from organ transplant recipients illustrate the profound

truth that our identity is written on every cell in our body In A

Change of Heart Claire Sylvia a conservative health-consciousNew England woman tells the story of what she experienced

after a heart and lung transplant Following the surgery she

began to experience strange dreams and inexplicably developed

a taste for beer chicken nuggets and motorcycles his was

completely out of character

After a particularly vivid dream Claire delved into the

history of her organ donor and found out that he was an

983089983096-year-old motorcycle enthusiast who loved chicken nuggets

and beer After much difficulty she discovered his name was

im L and that he had died in a motorcycle accident Along

with her new heart cells apparently came a part of the young manmdashhis memoriesmdashboth his likes and dislikes983089

In The Heartrsquos Code psychologist Paul Pearsall describes

the story of an eight-year-old girl who began to have nightmares

following a heart transplant he organ donor was another

young girl age ten After the transplant she began to have hor-

rific dreams about a murder hey were so vivid and specific

they eventually led to the capture of the murderer who had infact killed the donor Evidence from the nightmares included

the time of the murder the weapon and the clothes the mur-

derer wore hese details were all absolutely accurate983090

Identity Is Written in Our Cells

hese stories are just two among many hundreds of similarstories from organ transplant recipients who frequently expe-

rience memories and tastes of those whose organs they have

received983091 he impartation of inherited memories from organ

donors into the personalities of recipients illustrates the pro-

found truth that who we are is somehow written on our cells

How can this be

ldquoIdentityrdquo is not just the distinguishing personal concep-

tion personality or fingerprint signature of an individual It is

a biological reality down to the cellular level Every cell in our

body records our identity983092 he surface of each one of our cells

has ldquoidentity receptorsrdquo or human leukocyte antigens (HLA)Although our cells retain the same identity the story told by

our cells develops over the course of a lifetime A chronicle of

our entire life is continuously being recorded within our cells

from cradle to grave When we change our cells change Our

biography becomes our biology ldquoWerdquo are written in our cells

Our unique ldquoselfrdquo is encoded in our biological identityRecognition of HLA by the immune system gives the cell its

right to belong within a community of cells he immune sys-

tem wonrsquot accept cells with different identities perceiving them

to be foreign invaders

O ur biography becomes our biology

Of course this poses a problem in organ transplants he

identity receptors of the organ recipient will not recognize the

ldquoalienrdquo identity of the transplanted organ o prevent organ

rejection recipients of organ transplants must take medication

that suppresses the activity of the immune system so their bod-ies wonrsquot try to destroy the transplanted organ

Te Physical Environment Changes Cells

Our nutritional environment changes our cells We all

know that nutrition affects our health Certain vitamins for

example are recommended to strengthen our immune system

Many optometrists recommend vitamins for ocular health

Vitamins and supplements are good for joint health Headlines

regularly announce the discovery of new superfoods dietary

aids or herbal supplements as the latest keys to good nutri-

tional health What we ingest makes a difference in our cellsPhysical environment plays a vital role in the health of cells

When a cell is ailing check its environment If an organism has

too little water the cells dehydrate If it lacks essential nutri-

ents the cells become malnourished If the cells of an organism

are healthy the organism is healthy and vice versa Yet is physi-

cal environment all there is to health

physiology Our face may turn red with embarrassment Our

voice can become shaky when we are nervous Fear can make

our hands tremble and our skin feel cold Feelings of affection

dilate the pupils of the eyes Extreme anger may cause peopleto ldquosee redrdquo Rage redirects blood flow away from the frontal

lobes of the brain resulting in a decreased capacity for rational

thought (hat is why a distinction is made in courts of law

between crimes of passion and crimes that are premeditated)

Scientific studies indicate that good and bad emotions983093

our stress level983094 and the quality of our social relationships983095 affect

our entire bodymdashdown to the cellular level (We will cover this

more thoroughly in later chapters) Many medical professionals

regularly warn patients about stress in their lives because of its

harmful effects on their bodies

Stress exists in your mindmdashbut itrsquos also evident in

your stomach heart muscles and even your toes

ldquoIn fact stresshellip[affects] every cell in your bodyrdquo

says Ronald Glaser PhD a researcher at [he]

Ohio State University Medical School8

Dr Candace Pert a neuroscientist who helped discover a

fundamental element of brain chemistry in relation to emo-

tions made the amazing discovery that the primary mechanism

of cellular change is emotional Our emotions inscribe who we

are on our cells From the love of a mother during infancy to the

emotional traumas of childhood to the worries of adulthoodeverything is remembered by our cells Emotional memory is

stored at the cellular level983097 he brain can think and remember

Molecules of emotion are the intercom system of the body

hey inform all the cells about how we are responding to

everything in life How does this happen Our emotions aretransmitted throughout our entire body via tiny signal hor-

mones Our cells read emotional information through ldquoemotion

receptorsrdquo on the surface of each cell Emotional information is

received into our cells and identity receptors record the changes

he identity receptors on our cells contain our entire lifestory hey tell what our life has been like hey record the

beliefs of our innermost being here is an old saying about

people who donrsquot hide their emotions ldquoheir heart is writ-

ten on their sleeverdquo In truth it would be more accurate to say

ldquoOur heart is written on our cellsrdquo

O ur heart is written on our cells

Te Holy Spirit Changes Cells

When we are born again a spiritual transformation takes place We become God-indwelt a new creation If a trans-

planted organ can change some aspects of an unbelieverrsquos

individual identity how much more influence should our new

creation identity have on us

Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation

old things have passed away behold all things have

become new (2 Corinthians 517)

It is wonderful news for believers to know that we arenrsquot

bound by our past Do you remember when you got saved

Suddenly everything in life seemed new Your thoughts changed

you made different choices and your emotions were impacted

When you received forgiveness for your sins you experienced

peace with God for the first time Although unbelievers can

sometimes feel the peace of God in the atmosphere Christians

experience supernatural peace within Because Jesus has given us

His peace as a gift it is always available for us (see John 983089983092983090983095)

O ur emotions inscribe who we are on our cells

Not everything in our lives is taken care of at the time

of our conversion We all have some pre-salvation baggage of

unhealed emotional wounds and traumas If we remember any

situation and still feel pain (or any other negative emotion) it is

still stored in cellular memory he fact of an emotional wound

is a matter of historical record We canrsquot change history

When God heals us however we have a testimonymdasha new

heavenly record of peace in our heart983089983088 When the Holy Spirit cleanses our wounds and traumas forgiveness washes away neg-

ative emotions oxic emotions in our cells are then replaced by

the supernatural peace of God

Our body therefore has the capacity to be changed in the

presence of God Moses made a bold and startling request ofGod in Exodus 983091983091983089983096 ldquoPlease show me Your gloryrdquo It is even

more astonishing that God granted the desire of Mosesrsquos heart

What is Godrsquos glorymdash kabod in Hebrew Glory is the sum total

of all God is His glory is the infinite splendor majesty beauty

brilliance of the presence of God

T oxic emotions in our cells can bereplaced by the supernatural peace of God

When Godrsquos presence manifests in fullness we find His power wisdom holiness justice mercy love life and radiant

lightmdashand every other attribute of His character and nature

Glory then is the shining forth of the essence of God It is the

very atmosphere of heaven itself In response to the cry in the

heart of Moses God released the rays of His glory to Mount

Sinai in the middle of a desertAfter 983092983088 days and nights during which he was completely

immersed in the glory cloud of Godrsquos presence Moses came

down the mountain and returned to the camp of the Israelites

he appearance of Moses was so different it was scary His face

washellipglowing he light was so bright everyone was frightened

ldquoWhen Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses behold

the skin of his face shone and they were afraid to come near himrdquo

(Exod 983091983092983090983097-983091983088) We can watch reality shows about extreme

makeovers but this was a makeover that tops them all

Have you ever wondered why Mosesrsquos face shone after he

came down from Mount Sinai Being in the glory of God hadactually transformed the cells of his body How could this

happen We know that it was supernatural but what physical

mechanism in the human body could account for the visible

the physical capacity to be transformed in the very cells of our

prayer on human physiology983089983091

Stories from organ transplant recipients illustrate the profound

truth that our identity is written on every cell in our body In A

Change of Heart Claire Sylvia a conservative health-consciousNew England woman tells the story of what she experienced

after a heart and lung transplant Following the surgery she

began to experience strange dreams and inexplicably developed

a taste for beer chicken nuggets and motorcycles his was

completely out of character

After a particularly vivid dream Claire delved into the

history of her organ donor and found out that he was an

983089983096-year-old motorcycle enthusiast who loved chicken nuggets

and beer After much difficulty she discovered his name was

im L and that he had died in a motorcycle accident Along

with her new heart cells apparently came a part of the young manmdashhis memoriesmdashboth his likes and dislikes983089

In The Heartrsquos Code psychologist Paul Pearsall describes

the story of an eight-year-old girl who began to have nightmares

Suddenly everything in life seemed new Your thoughts changed

you made different choices and your emotions were impacted

When you received forgiveness for your sins you experienced

peace with God for the first time Although unbelievers can

sometimes feel the peace of God in the atmosphere Christians

experience supernatural peace within Because Jesus has given us

His peace as a gift it is always available for us (see John 983089983092983090983095)

O ur emotions inscribe who we are on our cells

Not everything in our lives is taken care of at the time

of our conversion We all have some pre-salvation baggage of

unhealed emotional wounds and traumas If we remember any

situation and still feel pain (or any other negative emotion) it is

still stored in cellular memory he fact of an emotional wound

is a matter of historical record We canrsquot change history

When God heals us however we have a testimonymdasha new

heavenly record of peace in our heart983089983088 When the Holy Spirit cleanses our wounds and traumas forgiveness washes away neg-

ative emotions oxic emotions in our cells are then replaced by

the supernatural peace of God

Our body therefore has the capacity to be changed in the

presence of God Moses made a bold and startling request ofGod in Exodus 983091983091983089983096 ldquoPlease show me Your gloryrdquo It is even

more astonishing that God granted the desire of Mosesrsquos heart

brilliance of the presence of God

T oxic emotions in our cells can bereplaced by the supernatural peace of God

When Godrsquos presence manifests in fullness we find His power wisdom holiness justice mercy love life and radiant

lightmdashand every other attribute of His character and nature

Glory then is the shining forth of the essence of God It is the

very atmosphere of heaven itself In response to the cry in the

heart of Moses God released the rays of His glory to Mount

Sinai in the middle of a desertAfter 983092983088 days and nights during which he was completely

immersed in the glory cloud of Godrsquos presence Moses came

down the mountain and returned to the camp of the Israelites

he appearance of Moses was so different it was scary His face

washellipglowing he light was so bright everyone was frightened

ldquoWhen Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses behold

the skin of his face shone and they were afraid to come near himrdquo

(Exod 983091983092983090983097-983091983088) We can watch reality shows about extreme

makeovers but this was a makeover that tops them all

Have you ever wondered why Mosesrsquos face shone after he

came down from Mount Sinai Being in the glory of God hadactually transformed the cells of his body How could this

happen We know that it was supernatural but what physical

mechanism in the human body could account for the visible

When our heart (our inner being) changes our cells change Who we become is imprinted on our cells God created us with

the physical capacity to be transformed in the very cells of our

human body983089983089 When we spend time in prayer and grow in

grace and the knowledge of God our cells reflect it983089983090

But we all with unveiled face beholding as in amirror the glory of the Lord are being transformed

into the same image from glory to glory just as by the

Spirit of the Lord (2 Corinthians 318)

Scientific research has documented the positive impact of

prayer on human physiology983089983091

Prayer is more than talking to God Rather prayer is being with God spirit-to-Spirit Every

time we are in the presence of God we are changed ldquoThe

In the Bible we also find many examples of light

without the sun but originating from a supernat-

ural source Most of these are associated with theglory of God which in the Bible is usually mani-

fested as light although sometimes as fire his

is not surprising as the Bible tells us that God is

light (1 John 15 cf John 812) and also that God

is a consuming fire (Deuteronomy 424 Hebrews

1229)16

As Moses discovered we cannot spend time with God with-

out being changed Godrsquos glorious nature transforms us inside

and out ldquo For it is God who commanded light to shine out of dark-

ness who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge

of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ rdquo (983090 Cor 983092983094)Have you ever seen the amazing displays of Christmas lights

ence of the Lord the more our cells reflect Godrsquos glorious light

His peace as a gift it is always available for us (see John 983089983092983090983095)

O ur emotions inscribe who we are on our cells

Not everything in our lives is taken care of at the time

of our conversion We all have some pre-salvation baggage of

unhealed emotional wounds and traumas If we remember any

situation and still feel pain (or any other negative emotion) it is

still stored in cellular memory he fact of an emotional wound

is a matter of historical record We canrsquot change history

When God heals us however we have a testimonymdasha new

heavenly record of peace in our heart983089983088 When the Holy Spirit cleanses our wounds and traumas forgiveness washes away neg-

ative emotions oxic emotions in our cells are then replaced by

the supernatural peace of God

Our body therefore has the capacity to be changed in the

presence of God Moses made a bold and startling request ofGod in Exodus 983091983091983089983096 ldquoPlease show me Your gloryrdquo It is even

more astonishing that God granted the desire of Mosesrsquos heart

of all God is His glory is the infinite splendor majesty beauty

When Godrsquos presence manifests in fullness we find His power wisdom holiness justice mercy love life and radiant

heart of Moses God released the rays of His glory to Mount

Sinai in the middle of a desertAfter 983092983088 days and nights during which he was completely

immersed in the glory cloud of Godrsquos presence Moses came

down the mountain and returned to the camp of the Israelites

he appearance of Moses was so different it was scary His face

washellipglowing he light was so bright everyone was frightened

ldquoWhen Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses behold

the skin of his face shone and they were afraid to come near himrdquo

(Exod 983091983092983090983097-983091983088) We can watch reality shows about extreme

makeovers but this was a makeover that tops them all

Have you ever wondered why Mosesrsquos face shone after he

came down from Mount Sinai Being in the glory of God hadactually transformed the cells of his body How could this

happen We know that it was supernatural but what physical

mechanism in the human body could account for the visible

In the Bible we also find many examples of light

without the sun but originating from a supernat-

ural source Most of these are associated with theglory of God which in the Bible is usually mani-

fested as light although sometimes as fire his

is not surprising as the Bible tells us that God is

light (1 John 15 cf John 812) and also that God

is a consuming fire (Deuteronomy 424 Hebrews

1229)16

As Moses discovered we cannot spend time with God with-

hese stories are just two among many hundreds of similarstories from organ transplant recipients who frequently expe-

rience memories and tastes of those whose organs they have

received983091 he impartation of inherited memories from organ

donors into the personalities of recipients illustrates the pro-

ldquoIdentityrdquo is not just the distinguishing personal concep-

tion personality or fingerprint signature of an individual It is

a biological reality down to the cellular level Every cell in our

body records our identity983092 he surface of each one of our cells

has ldquoidentity receptorsrdquo or human leukocyte antigens (HLA)Although our cells retain the same identity the story told by

our cells develops over the course of a lifetime A chronicle of

Of course this poses a problem in organ transplants he

Te Physical Environment Changes Cells

Our nutritional environment changes our cells We all

know that nutrition affects our health Certain vitamins for

example are recommended to strengthen our immune system

Many optometrists recommend vitamins for ocular health

Vitamins and supplements are good for joint health Headlines

regularly announce the discovery of new superfoods dietary

aids or herbal supplements as the latest keys to good nutri-

tional health What we ingest makes a difference in our cellsPhysical environment plays a vital role in the health of cells

When a cell is ailing check its environment If an organism has

too little water the cells dehydrate If it lacks essential nutri-

ents the cells become malnourished If the cells of an organism

are healthy the organism is healthy and vice versa Yet is physi-

cal environment all there is to health

Scientific studies indicate that good and bad emotions983093

our stress level983094 and the quality of our social relationships983095 affect

our entire bodymdashdown to the cellular level (We will cover this

Molecules of emotion are the intercom system of the body

hey inform all the cells about how we are responding to

everything in life How does this happen Our emotions aretransmitted throughout our entire body via tiny signal hor-

mones Our cells read emotional information through ldquoemotion

receptorsrdquo on the surface of each cell Emotional information is

received into our cells and identity receptors record the changes

beliefs of our innermost being here is an old saying about

people who donrsquot hide their emotions ldquoheir heart is writ-

ldquoOur heart is written on our cellsrdquo

O ur heart is written on our cells

Te Holy Spirit Changes Cells

When we are born again a spiritual transformation takes place We become God-indwelt a new creation If a trans-

planted organ can change some aspects of an unbelieverrsquos

individual identity how much more influence should our new

creation identity have on us

Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation

old things have passed away behold all things have

become new (2 Corinthians 517)

When you received forgiveness for your sins you experienced

sometimes feel the peace of God in the atmosphere Christians

His peace as a gift it is always available for us (see John 983089983092983090983095)

O ur biography becomes our biology

Of course this poses a problem in organ transplants he

identity receptors of the organ recipient will not recognize the

ldquoalienrdquo identity of the transplanted organ o prevent organ

rejection recipients of organ transplants must take medication

that suppresses the activity of the immune system so their bod-ies wonrsquot try to destroy the transplanted organ

Te Physical Environment Changes Cells

Our nutritional environment changes our cells We all

know that nutrition affects our health Certain vitamins for

example are recommended to strengthen our immune system

Many optometrists recommend vitamins for ocular health

Vitamins and supplements are good for joint health Headlines

regularly announce the discovery of new superfoods dietary

aids or herbal supplements as the latest keys to good nutri-

tional health What we ingest makes a difference in our cellsPhysical environment plays a vital role in the health of cells

When a cell is ailing check its environment If an organism has

too little water the cells dehydrate If it lacks essential nutri-

ents the cells become malnourished If the cells of an organism

are healthy the organism is healthy and vice versa Yet is physi-

cal environment all there is to health

Emotions Change Cells

physiology Our face may turn red with embarrassment Our

Stress exists in your mindmdashbut itrsquos also evident in

Te Holy Spirit Changes Cells

When we are born again a spiritual transformation takes place We become God-indwelt a new creation If a trans-

planted organ can change some aspects of an unbelieverrsquos

individual identity how much more influence should our new

creation identity have on us

Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation

old things have passed away behold all things have

become new (2 Corinthians 517)

bound by our past Do you remember when you got saved

Suddenly everything in life seemed new Your thoughts changed

you made different choices and your emotions were impacted

When you received forgiveness for your sins you experienced

peace with God for the first time Although unbelievers can

sometimes feel the peace of God in the atmosphere Christians

experience supernatural peace within Because Jesus has given us

His peace as a gift it is always available for us (see John 983089983092983090983095)

O ur emotions inscribe who we are on our cells

Not everything in our lives is taken care of at the time

of our conversion We all have some pre-salvation baggage of

unhealed emotional wounds and traumas If we remember any

situation and still feel pain (or any other negative emotion) it is

still stored in cellular memory he fact of an emotional wound

is a matter of historical record We canrsquot change history

When God heals us however we have a testimonymdasha new

heavenly record of peace in our heart983089983088 When the Holy Spirit cleanses our wounds and traumas forgiveness washes away neg-

ative emotions oxic emotions in our cells are then replaced by

the supernatural peace of God

Our body therefore has the capacity to be changed in the

presence of God Moses made a bold and startling request ofGod in Exodus 983091983091983089983096 ldquoPlease show me Your gloryrdquo It is even

more astonishing that God granted the desire of Mosesrsquos heart

brilliance of the presence of God

T oxic emotions in our cells can bereplaced by the supernatural peace of God

When Godrsquos presence manifests in fullness we find His power wisdom holiness justice mercy love life and radiant

Glory then is the shining forth of the essence of God It is the

very atmosphere of heaven itself In response to the cry in the

heart of Moses God released the rays of His glory to Mount

Sinai in the middle of a desertAfter 983092983088 days and nights during which he was completely

immersed in the glory cloud of Godrsquos presence Moses came

down the mountain and returned to the camp of the Israelites

he appearance of Moses was so different it was scary His face

washellipglowing he light was so bright everyone was frightened

ldquoWhen Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses behold

the skin of his face shone and they were afraid to come near himrdquo

(Exod 983091983092983090983097-983091983088) We can watch reality shows about extreme

makeovers but this was a makeover that tops them all

Have you ever wondered why Mosesrsquos face shone after he

came down from Mount Sinai Being in the glory of God hadactually transformed the cells of his body How could this

happen We know that it was supernatural but what physical

mechanism in the human body could account for the visible

Molecules of emotion are the intercom system of the body

hey inform all the cells about how we are responding to

everything in life How does this happen Our emotions aretransmitted throughout our entire body via tiny signal hor-

mones Our cells read emotional information through ldquoemotion

receptorsrdquo on the surface of each cell Emotional information is

received into our cells and identity receptors record the changes

he identity receptors on our cells contain our entire lifestory hey tell what our life has been like hey record the

beliefs of our innermost being here is an old saying about

people who donrsquot hide their emotions ldquoheir heart is writ-

ten on their sleeverdquo In truth it would be more accurate to say

ldquoOur heart is written on our cellsrdquo

O ur heart is written on our cells

Te Holy Spirit Changes Cells

When we are born again a spiritual transformation takes place We become God-indwelt a new creation If a trans-

planted organ can change some aspects of an unbelieverrsquos

individual identity how much more influence should our new

creation identity have on us

Therefore if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation

old things have passed away behold all things have

become new (2 Corinthians 517)

bound by our past Do you remember when you got saved

Suddenly everything in life seemed new Your thoughts changed

you made different choices and your emotions were impacted

When you received forgiveness for your sins you experienced

peace with God for the first time Although unbelievers can

sometimes feel the peace of God in the atmosphere Christians

experience supernatural peace within Because Jesus has given us

His peace as a gift it is always available for us (see John 983089983092983090983095)

O ur emotions inscribe who we are on our cells

Not everything in our lives is taken care of at the time

of our conversion We all have some pre-salvation baggage of

unhealed emotional wounds and traumas If we remember any

situation and still feel pain (or any other negative emotion) it is

still stored in cellular memory he fact of an emotional wound

is a matter of historical record We canrsquot change history

When God heals us however we have a testimonymdasha new

heavenly record of peace in our heart983089983088 When the Holy Spirit cleanses our wounds and traumas forgiveness washes away neg-

ative emotions oxic emotions in our cells are then replaced by

the supernatural peace of God

Our body therefore has the capacity to be changed in the

presence of God Moses made a bold and startling request ofGod in Exodus 983091983091983089983096 ldquoPlease show me Your gloryrdquo It is even

heart of Moses God released the rays of His glory to Mount

Sinai in the middle of a desertAfter 983092983088 days and nights during which he was completely

immersed in the glory cloud of Godrsquos presence Moses came

down the mountain and returned to the camp of the Israelites

he appearance of Moses was so different it was scary His face

washellipglowing he light was so bright everyone was frightened

ldquoWhen Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses behold

the skin of his face shone and they were afraid to come near himrdquo

(Exod 983091983092983090983097-983091983088) We can watch reality shows about extreme

makeovers but this was a makeover that tops them all

Have you ever wondered why Mosesrsquos face shone after he

came down from Mount Sinai Being in the glory of God hadactually transformed the cells of his body How could this

In the Bible we also find many examples of light

without the sun but originating from a supernat-

ural source Most of these are associated with theglory of God which in the Bible is usually mani-

is not surprising as the Bible tells us that God is

light (1 John 15 cf John 812) and also that God

is a consuming fire (Deuteronomy 424 Hebrews

1229)16

As Moses discovered we cannot spend time with God with-

and greatness of God in His manifold perfections Glory is the

brilliance of the presence of God

T oxic emotions in our cells can bereplaced by the supernatural peace of God

When Godrsquos presence manifests in fullness we find His power wisdom holiness justice mercy love life and radiant

lightmdashand every other attribute of His character and nature

Glory then is the shining forth of the essence of God It is the

very atmosphere of heaven itself In response to the cry in the

heart of Moses God released the rays of His glory to Mount

Sinai in the middle of a desertAfter 983092983088 days and nights during which he was completely

immersed in the glory cloud of Godrsquos presence Moses came

down the mountain and returned to the camp of the Israelites

he appearance of Moses was so different it was scary His face

washellipglowing he light was so bright everyone was frightened

ldquoWhen Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses behold

the skin of his face shone and they were afraid to come near himrdquo

(Exod 983091983092983090983097-983091983088) We can watch reality shows about extreme

makeovers but this was a makeover that tops them all

Have you ever wondered why Mosesrsquos face shone after he

came down from Mount Sinai Being in the glory of God hadactually transformed the cells of his body How could this

happen We know that it was supernatural but what physical

mechanism in the human body could account for the visible

change Identity receptors

In the Bible we also find many examples of light

without the sun but originating from a supernat-

ural source Most of these are associated with theglory of God which in the Bible is usually mani-

fested as light although sometimes as fire his

is not surprising as the Bible tells us that God is

light (1 John 15 cf John 812) and also that God

is a consuming fire (Deuteronomy 424 Hebrews

1229)16

As Moses discovered we cannot spend time with God with-

out being changed Godrsquos glorious nature transforms us inside

and out ldquo For it is God who commanded light to shine out of dark-

ness who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge

of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ rdquo (983090 Cor 983092983094)Have you ever seen the amazing displays of Christmas lights

timed to music Itrsquos a light orchestra When God touches our

heart we become Godrsquos ldquolight orchestrardquo He is the Conductor

and we are the symphony he more time we spend in the pres-

ence of the Lord the more our cells reflect Godrsquos glorious light

and resonate with His love

E very time the love of God touches ourheart our cells are flooded with glory
