Blake Robert Templeton argues believers engage God only intellectually without true transformation. The soul, not the mind, must be reclaimed through intense emotion and aligning desires with God's loves and hates. This internal shift activates neurobiological changes that produce radical, experiential change.
Most people receive God with their intellect. Now, this is where most people stop, because he purchased you and he took you out of the slave market. But what he wants us to do is allow him to take the slave market out of us. He took you out of the actual slave market, but everyone keeps the slave market in their soul, all the programs of the enemy. So they're talking to God with their head And the soul is everything. So nothing's processing to the soul. All their convictions, all their desires, all their affections, everything is down here. So we have to take back the soul. We have to have the loudest emotion. We got to have fire in our bones. We have to actually hate what God hates and love what God loves. See, this is where the power is. The soul starts activating and soul starts feeling the fire. They're like, there's a new sheriff in town. Woo! Something's happened. My goodness, call a timeout. We have to submit to a new one, a new lord who runs this body, because there's someone else in authority. You can take authority back just like that because you activate on a neurobiological level everything in congruency with hating what was infiltrating you.
