God Thinking Pre-empt 7

"If you are thinking you can get serious, long term results over the continuing problems in your life, without unlearning some things... well you decide.  Does your inner man agree?

I'm not talking about your conscience when I say inner man.  You and I both know if we want something bad enough we can sear our conscience - convince our conscience.

You can rationalize anything where the drive is greater than the discipline to tame it.

But the inner man is not so easily moved.  The inner man is where the Holy Spirit of God resides in you.  Your inner man will not lie to you nor agree with you on anything that is destructive, selfish, damaging or divisive.

The inner man never goes along with folly, pretense, indiscretion, prejudice or sin. 

The inner man always holds fast to its divine intent.  You can trust the inner man.

If you want to grow and mature in mind and body, spirit and soul, you will have to learn new ways of life and unlearn some old ways.

Ouch!  For those of you who don't care much for change, your flesh is going to rebel at this kind of teaching.
