Confrontation is a a critical aspect of life in the Kingdom of God but does need to be done correctly.

So how does the human brain deal with this?

The Process

The mature order of operations in the brain should be to first affirm our relationships, second notice any problems with others, third load in a careful understanding of what goes on in the other person’s mind (mindsight), fourth remember what it is like us and our people to do that will calm and satisfy the situation, fifth see this in perspective and see what it really means (Godsight,) and sixth, finally open our mouths to talk.

19 So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; 20 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. ” (James 1:19–20, NKJV)

James says that the first sign that someone is being saved (and restored to normal function) is that they are quick to listen, slow to anger and slow to speak. That is a fairly good match for normal brain function.

Steps

Affirm our Relationship
Notice Problems with Others
Mindsight – Load Careful Understanding of other persons Reality

Hierarchy and Procedure in the Control Centre

The right hemisphere of the brain holds an emotional regulation structure called the control center. This four-level control center tops the command hierarchy of the brain. Identity, who I am in Christ, resides at the top (level four) of the control center in an area called the prefrontal cortex. Below who I am in Christ, the third level, or cingulate cortex, synchronizes our life rhythms (blessed be your going out and blessed be your coming in). The lower two levels control our basic evaluations , judging and discerning (level two) and our personal reality, The Revelation of Jesus Christ (level one.) The primary development of the control center is in the first two years of life, depends on proper stimulation of the brain and is primarily non-verbal.
