Gpod Thinking Pre-empt 4

"Listen carefully. There's only one way to remove from your mind andy our inner man thoughts that might be starving you from receiving God's truth.  Keep in mind that if you continue to learn new, but you don't do something to eradicate the old, the new becomes skewed. 

To overcome this syndrome, you must unlearn what is erroneous.  It is just as important to unlearn what doesn't work:
unlearn what does not have power
unlearn whatever causes doubt
unlearn whatever distracts you
unlearn everything that is not sanctioned by God for use in your inner man to create in you the ability to operate with the mind of Christ. 
 
1 Corinthians 2:11-16, "For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

 12.  Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

 13.  Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

 14.  But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

 15.  But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

 16.  For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ."

Unlearning is not as easy as it sounds.  You feel safe with your current barriers.  You hold pretty tight to what you have already accumulated, even if what you have accumulated is of little or no value
even if what you have accumulated was gathered by false pretense
even if what you have accumulated is not good for your family
even if what you have accumulated has not been good for you
even if what you have accumulated is killing you. 

If what you have learned - what you have accumulated is not working for you, it's time to let it go, to unlearn it.
