Be Willing To Change

For I am the Lord, I change not – Malachi 3:6

Lilllian B Yeomans was a medical doctor who lived many years ago. She was raised from her deathbed by the power of God, and she turned in her medical license and started practicing medicine with the Great Physician. Dr. Yeomans made a statement to the effect that if she were praying or believing God for something that belongs to us in the Word, if she didn’t see something start changing in three days, she started changing. She had amazing results.

If something belongs to us, God has already paid for it. He has redeemed us, delivered us, healed us and set us free. God has already done His part. So when we see the answer to our need in the Scriptures, we latch on to God’s promise with the hand of faith and say, “Father, You said it, I believe it, and I receive it!”

But if time passes and our answer hasn’t manifested, something may have to change. Perhaps sin or disobedience is keeping us from receiving from God.

So often we say, “I’m going to keep standing. I’ll keep doing what I’m doing until God does something.” In other words, “I’ll keep doing what I’m doing until God changes.” Then we sit and do nothing, waiting for God to change.

That won’t work. You have to accept that God can’t change. Jesus can’t change, the Holy Spirit can’t change and the Word can’t change. But if you’re going to see results, something has to change. The only one left is you.

I’m not trying to put condemnation on you; I'm just showing you how you can get yourself into a position to receive. You can say, “I’ll take the responsibility. Maybe I need to change.” That will put you in motion. And as the Lord reveals the changes you need to make and you make them, you’ll receive the results you desire!

CONFESSION:

According to the Word, healing is mine. Jesus bought and paid for it with His own precious blood. God’s Word produces healing in my life. I’ll change when I need to, and I’ll receive the results I desire!
