I Can't Stay The Same, But I Don't Want To Change

You can’t get in the PRESENCE of God and STAY THE SAME.

You just can’t. He takes you from where you WERE and helps you get to where you NEED TO BE. Before you were born, before you were even an idea, God had plans for you to change the world…somewhere…somehow…someone.

And, opposed to popular belief, we ALL need to change. It doesn’t matter whether or not you’ve struggled with drugs, alcohol, pornography, food, sex, bitterness, unforgiveness, depression, abuse, divorce, debt, pride…there’s SOMETHING in your life, past or present, that needs a bit of renovation, needs a bit of change. But Nick, I haven’t struggled with any of that stuff. Right. Maybe you haven’t, but you’ve struggled with SOMETHING. Nobody’s perfect. What is it that’s holding you back?

Now your attitudes and thoughts must all be constantly changing for the better. Yes, you must be a new and different person.
Ephesians 4:23 TLB

And once you discover your THING, the thing that you need help with, the thing that needs to change in your life, DON’T TRY TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN. Let me make it easy for you…YOU CAN’T DO IT ALONE. I chuckle as I write this because I can say it all day long, I can shout it, I can sing, I can write it down and draw a diagram, but it won’t make a difference. YOU must realize your own POWERLESSNESS. We do not have the POWER to change, at least not by ourselves. The power to change is found in Christ (Philippians 4:13).

Are you the SAME?
Have you CHANGED?
Have you EXPERIENCED the presence of God?
