Let’s Consider Our Ways And Change God’s Mind
|
By Joni Ames
Dear Friends,
It’s time for America to turn back to God before it’s too late.
Does God ever change His mind?
Yes. He does. And we can change God’s mind about having to judge America if we judge ourselves and repent.
What I’m saying may not be liked or popular. But It must be said.
Do you think the weather events, fires, the pandemic, and other calamities are simply by chance? They are not. God isn’t “doing it,” but He has been evicted and removed from our schools and our land in increasing ways and His hand has been pryed off of America. We have been left vulnerable to the enemy because of it. Climate change isn’t the problem. Heart change is.
Do you think evil can ride on the coat tails of those who pray and do right, yet continue to kill babies, immerse themselves in pornography, drugs, pedophilia, etc., without God seeing and responding???
If we return to God, He will return to us.
If people repent and cry out to God, He can change His mind about allowing or inflicting judgment. (See the scriptures below this article.)
It’s time to stop wasting time with the stupid conspiracy theories, the petty fights and arguments, and get down to the business of what’s really important.
It’s not ok to ignore God. This is His planet.
We can change His mind if we change our ways. We must consider our ways while we are still able to.
It’s not too late. Yet. But He won’t hold back forever.
Haggai 1:7 says the same thing in several ways, but the message is clear:
New International Version
This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Give careful thought to your ways.
New Living Translation
“This is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies says: Look at what’s happening to you!
Berean Study Bible
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Consider carefully your ways.
King James Bible
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
Amplified Bible
Thus says the LORD of hosts, “Consider your ways and thoughtfully reflect on your conduct!
We need God’s help and direction to make that happen. So let’s start with this simple prayer:
PRAYER
Father God, We come to you in Jesus name. Please bring a spirit of repentance and revival to our nation. We who know and love you cry out to you. Anoint our hearts and minds with wisdom and direction that we might know and do what needs done to accomplish your will for our land.
Please touch the hearts and minds of those who don’t know you. Remove the blinders from their eyes an the deafness from their ears. Soften their hard hearts. Cause them to hunger and thirst for your truth and righteousness. To you we will give all the glory.
Amen.
Blessings,

Who knows, God may turn and relent and withdraw His burning anger so that we will not perish.
Jonah 3:10
When God saw their deeds, that they turned from their wicked way, then God relented concerning the calamity which He had declared He would bring upon them. And He did not do it.
Jeremiah 18:8
if that nation against which I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent concerning the calamity I planned to bring on it.
Jeremiah 26:3
Perhaps they will listen and everyone will turn from his evil way, that I may relent of the calamity which I am planning to do to them because of the evil of their deeds.
Jeremiah 26:13
Now therefore amend your ways and your deeds and obey the voice of the Lord your God; and the Lord will change His mind about the misfortune which He has pronounced against you.
Jeremiah 42:10
If you will indeed stay in this land, then I will build you up and not tear you down, and I will plant you and not uproot you; for I will relent concerning the calamity that I have inflicted on you.
2 Samuel 24:16
When the angel stretched out his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, the Lord relented from the calamity and said to the angel who destroyed the people, “It is enough! Now relax your hand!” And the angel of the Lord was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
======================
By the same token evil deeds can cause God to change His mind about blessing:
Jeremiah 18:10
if it does evil in My sight by not obeying My voice, then I will think better of the good with which I had promised to bless it.
Ezekiel 7:22
I will also turn My face from them, and they will profane My secret place; then robbers will enter and profane it.
