Does God Change His Mind?

Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, today and forever.

However, do we really believe that the same God we served yesterday is the same God we serve today? Do we trust him at his word. Many of us have had opportunities to sit under some power prophets in our time and we have heard them decree and declare that certain events were coming our way, that we would be able to do certain things in this life. We believed it yesterday but since our today is mix up and messed up...we think God changed his mind.

When I preach about Purpose, I always use Jeremiah 29:11-13 and Psalms 139. I think both these scriptures gives us an understanding about the god that we serve. Let's understand something, God is all knowing so nothing takes him by surprise. NOTHING! Even more importantly than that God knows what is coming up and what has already transpired. The God we serve stands outside of our time. He actually created time. Think about it. So why would he need to change his mind?

There is a parable that I use to help people understand why God is not bothered by there past nor is he confused by their present. Here it goes....

God was sitting in heaven watching the angels play a friendly game of soccer, (lol... I know someone just said how do you know. I dont but this is my parable so go with me) when his mind started to wonder. What would happen if I created a world of people with free will. A will to choose to love me or not. He saw himself creating this world and every event under the sun that has occured the good, the bad and the ugly. He saw those that would love him, those that would hate him. He saw your life , my life. He experience the pain of the cross. He saw everything to the end.... and then he said, "Let there be!"

He did not change his mind "In the Beginning", and he is not changing his mind now. There is nothing we can do that will cause God to say, "oops I changed my mind." Let me say this, WARNING always comes before destruction. If you are on the wrong path, God knows how to get your attention. remember Moses, God wanted him to deliver his people, but he did not circumsize his sons. His wife had to do it to save his life. Remebmer Balaam was going to prophesy against the children of Israel and his donkey keep stopping in the road and then revealed to him after the thrid time that an angel was in the road to kill him if he kept going. 

Maybe you are like King David and you blantantly sinned before God breaking a commandment. Even still God will send word of your punishment and judgement and allow you space and time to repent. He does not however, change your destiny, because he made allowances for your missteps, your fears, your delays and even your refusals. Just ask Jonah!

So I cant say that God changes his mind. I can say he already knows every scenario you can think of and he knows which one will play out.
