Closed Theological System
One of my main mentors was Jack Frost. When I first came to work with him I had a somewhat closed theological system. I had a set of fixed ideas about God and doctrine and I was not that open to anything that went outside my box. Jack was very different.
Teachable and Diligent
He was first of all teachable. There were certain key books God used in his life that he had read fifteen times or more. Not only was he open to new ideas, he understood what it took to really get a hold of them and incorporate them to where he lived on a daily basis. We give this kind of effort in school to learn new material. A given class might include lectures, a textbook, several other books to read, and a research paper. However, now that we are older, we seem to have the idea that we can read one book just one time and it will change our lives forever.
Willing to Try
The next thing I noticed about Jack was that he was not afraid to try. He would at times make adjustments to his teaching, not always having it perfect from the start, however, the important thing was that he was willing to consider new thoughts and open to try them.
A Personal Example 
About a year ago I found myself really stuck in my walk with the Lord. I heard a minister I respected mention that God has taught the church many things about deliverance and generational sin and some of it actually works. That struck right at one of my theological boxes. Because of ways I have considered the deliverance movement “out of balance,” I had thrown the whole thing out. A short time later I had an opportunity to be ministered to by this same man, and he recommended some deliverance and generational sin stuff I could pray through. I was desperate enough to try it. Guess what? It worked, I found whole new areas of freedom in my life. In the type of prayer ministry that I do, these are still not the primary tools I use, but I have a whole lot more respect for them than I used to.
With a closed theological system there is little possibility for growth. Meekness really is the passkey.
Robert:
This is a great article. It’s really all about relationship and intimacy with Father and the breaking of all our religious boxes! The more I’ve found my legitimacy in my relationship with Father and my intimacy with Him, the more He’s shattered my religious thinking and the religious boxes I’ve put Him in. Each time that happens, I am amazed and thankful that the longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows.
Blessings to you and Cyndi.

This is an excellent article. It is exactly what I have been working on for several months and your explanation of the process was great. I feel I have been delivered on many levels this year on some areas that I held onto for a long time.
Love to you and Cyndi,
