Daily Devotional - God thinking Preempt 4

The truth that I am about to expose demands that you make a place in your mind and in your inner man for the Mind of Christ; God demands that you give up something old for something new. 

God demands that you make room for Him, that you create (a cleaned out) space, not cluttered or full of junk before God pours in His anything. 

You will have to throw out some trash, some junk and some unused things.  In your inner man you will have to throw out some bad information:
you will have to throw out - unsubstantiated beliefs
you will have to throw out  - unsubstantiated fears
you will have to throw out - skewed views
you will have to throw out - false precepts
you will have to throw out  - all doubt
you will have to throw out  - all uncertainty
you will have to throw out - anything that takes up space that was designed for God
And make room for something far better.

Now listen carefully. There's only one way to remove from your mind and your 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 as it is to learn what does 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."
