Whn the Spirit is in Comtrol

In an episode of Star Trek Voyager called "Body and Soul", in order to protect the holographic doctor from being destroyed by certain aliens, Seven downloads the doctor into her matrix or mind/body system. Now that the hologram has taken complete control of Seven's body, the doctor is now able to experience the world with Seven's senses. Seven finds she can only observe in the background. By the end of the episode, Seven gets back control of her body and the doctor returns to being a hologram with fond memories of his brief human experience.

I find this a very interesting episode. The holographic doctor represents my spirit and Seven represents my flesh, which consists of my soul and body. In order for my spirit to be in control, my flesh has to be willing to surrender to my spirit.  

My spirit, which is now born again, is one or joined with the Holy Spirit.  That means when my flesh surrenders to my spirit, it is actually the Holy Spirit transforming all experiences into His experiences, whixh are always, good, joyful, loving and perfect. (See Romans 12: 1;  Galatians 5: 22)

Every day, I choose to offer my soul and body as a living sacrifice to God.

Thank you, God, for working in me and through me. ❤️
