  Speaker 2: this morning, which is coming out of Melachi three and six,

  Speaker 2: and the title of it is Unchanging God, Unchanging God.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: So Father God, in that name, much ease the Lord.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I thank you for yet another opportunity that we can
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: come before you, Lord God, to reference your word, Lord
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: god Father, I pray that you will remove me out
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: of the flesh, Lord God, to remove me out of
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: the way, Lord God, and allow your spirit man to
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: come forth for God and share what you would have
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: for me to share on this morning. In regards to
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: this devotion and the word that you were laid in
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: my spirit, Lord God Father, asked that you would clear
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: the minds and hearts and souls of those that are
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: on the other end of this message, Lord God, that
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: they will receive what it is that you will have
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: them to receive on today, Lord God, and Father, allow
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: these words to not just be words or God, but
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: they would penetrate their hearts, their minds, and their souls
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: or God, that they would vibrate to the areas that
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: needed to vibrate to Lord God, that it would do
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: what you would have it to do in this day,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Lord god Father, we thank you for this new day
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: that we was not promised or God, that we've never
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: seen before and that we will never see again. Father.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: We ask that you will allow us to go forth
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: on today, Lord God, and that somebody will see you
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: in us. Lord god Father, we thank you in all
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: things that we do. May we glorify you, and it
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: points back to you and not us in the flesh story. God,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: we thank you and Father, I asked that you will
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: have your way during this hour on this line, Lord, God, Father,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: use me and your son Jesus' name. I pray, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I thank God for you. Guys. Again, y'all, we're gonna
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: go ahead and get into this lesson on this morning again.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: It is coming out of a thirty day devotion, a
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: thirty one day devotion that I created. It is a
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: closer walk with I am that I am. It is
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: a thirty one day God team God to exploring the Bible.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: You can dive deep and explore the Bible. It's not
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: a substitution for the Bible. It's not none of that,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: but it's something that you can use to go along
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: with that that you already have the Bible, the basic
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: instructions before leaving Earth. That's what He's given us. These
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: are the commandments and the things that He's given us.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I've just taken some of those things and just drove
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: a little deeper, Just dived a little deeper, just explore
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: a little deeper. That's all. Not a substitution for the Bible,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: but just a supplement to go along with the Bible, y'all.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: So with that being said, let's go ahead and dive
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: on end to the lesson onto today, y'all. Let's go
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: ahead and dive on in for the lesson on today again.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Day's number twenty six anchored in the unchanging discover discovering
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: the God who never lets go. So our scripture today
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: is coming from Malachi Maliki three and six. It said,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I the Lord do not change, So you the descendants
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: of Jacob are not destroyed. Again, it says, I the
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Lord do not change, show you the descendants of Jacob
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: are not destroyed. Maliki three and six is spoken by
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: God through the prophet Malachi at a time when the
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: people of Israel was experiencing deep spiritual decline and disappointment.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: The exile was over, the temple had been rebuilt, but
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the glorious promise of restoration seemed unfilled. The delusion and weary,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the people had grown careless in worship, offering blameless sacrifice
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: and neglecting God's commandments. Despite their failures and wavering loyalty,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: God confronts them not with immediate destruction, but with the
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: reminder of his unwavering nature insteadfast mercy Israel's psycle of
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: rebellion in God's consistent faithfulness. Throughout their history, descendants of
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Israel had repeatedly turned away from God. They broke covenant,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: complained in the wilderness, and later adopted the principles of
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: surrounding nations. Each time just as would demand their destruction.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Yet in every episode, God's mercy, rooted in his unchanging character, prevailed.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: In Melacha's day, once again, Israel's action deserved judgment. But however,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: God speaks this stunning word, I the Lord, do not change.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. God
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: is saying, it is not your faithfulness that secures your future.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: It is mine, my promises of Abraham. Isaac Jacob stands
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: my covenant love does not expire with failure. As I
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: was merciful in the past, I will be merciful today
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: and forever. God's immutability as the anchor of grace. This
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: declaration of God's in immutability means that his unchanging nature
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: is the bedrock of Israel's hope in ours. If God
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: was a flicker, all would have been lost when we
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: fell short because he is steadfast. We can trust his plan, love, justice,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: and grace would never be undone by the world's changes.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: But his own is consistent. He never changed. He never changed.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: So I want you to get this in Melanchi three
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: and six. It teaches us that God's faithful. It is
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the reason why we have hope in security. It's not
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: our own perfection, because none of us are perfect. It
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: is in a changing world that is anchored for every
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: heart seeking assurance, God's love, his mercy, in his purpose,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: It stands firm no matter what. Let's be reminded today
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: that your security is rooted in the unchanging God who
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: keeps his promise yesterday, today, and tomorrow. The word of
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: the day is imutable. What does it mean that God
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: is immutable? The word immutable is common in every day
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Is it common in everyday language? So know that it's
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: not a common word that hold e miswight when describing God.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: To say that God is immutable means he is never
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: He is never subject to the moods, the trends, the
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: circumstances that shapes human behavior. His character, his promises and axents,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: remains eternally fixed, just as the stars remain constant in
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: the night sky. God's nature stands firmed, unaffected by the
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: storms of life, the shifting of culture. And why does
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: that matter? A trunch worthy anchor in the word of flux. Yeah,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: every day we experience changes in relationship. We evolve, health,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: fluxu weights, new cycle shift, even emotion rise and fall.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: In the sworld of unpredictability, the immutability of God becomes
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: our anchor. We can stake our lives on his promises,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: knowing that we will never expire but be altered by circumstances.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: His love and his mercy are never reduced. Human love
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: can fade away, mercy can run dry. But God's heart
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: is everlasting. His forgiveness, his compassion, and his faithfulness towards
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: us cannot disminish, not today, not tomorrow, not ever. Hebrews
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: thirteen and eighteen, I mean thirteen and eight is as
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. I
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: want you to know that you are secure against the
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: fear of change. Many of us fear the unknown or
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: loss that change often brings, but God's immutability reassures us
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: that no matter what happens, the foundation beneath us is silent.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: The same God who parted the Red Sea, who raised
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Jesus from the dead, is with us, and it's for
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: us unchanged and unchanging. When we grasp the interimutability of God,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: it changes how we see everything else. We no longer
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: have to build confidence on a shaky ground, whether it's
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: swirling around you. His faithfulness remains on broken in the
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: face of a world that is always moving. God alone
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: invites you to rest and secure in him. Declare today
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: that I am anchored in an immutable God, unchanged by circumstance,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: unwavering in love, and unbreakable, and promise let his immutability
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: free you to face the future with courage again. Our
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: affirmation for today is I trust in God's unchanging nature.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: In a world of change, God remains consistent and reliable.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Y'all have to understand that we live in a world
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: where change is unavoidable. Job shift, relationships they inflow, seasons
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: come and go, even our emotions can swing by the hour.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: In the midst of all the instability, it's easy to
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: feel unmoored, searching for something to anchor us in. But
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: the truth is more steadfast than the rise than the
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: rising sun. God does not change his character, his promises.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: His love is constant, yesterday, today and forever. Want to
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: share a story out of the Bible with you guys,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: and it's coming from Genesis. It's coming out of Genesis,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: and it's saying it's title God's faithfulness with Abraham. When
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: God saw Abraham, he made a covenant that Abraham's desceentence
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: would become a great nation and through him all of
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: the earth would be blessed. Despite Abraham's failure, fear, and
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: even misguided plans like trying to fulfill the promise through Hagard,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: God never changed his mind. Decades passed, but God's promise
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: stood firm, even in human unfulness. God's unchanging hand, unchanging
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: nature mints the covenant would not be broken. Isaiah, the
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: promised Son was born in God's perfect timing, showing that
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: when God said he would do it, unchanged by time
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: or circumstance. God's nature is rooted in a shifting world.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Hebrews thirteen and eighteen reminds us that and this is
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: the scripture that we all know. In quote, Jesus Christ
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. Everything around us
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: is uncertain, but God is a fixed point on the compass,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: never surprised, never altered, and never feeling. His word and
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: his love outlast every single storm that may come. God's
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: promises are sure. He does not break covenant. Go down
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: to numbers twenty three and nineteen. It says God is
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: not human, that he should lie, not a human being,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: that he should change his mind? Does he speak and
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: then not act? Does he promise and not fulfilled? While
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: people may let us, circumstances may shift, God's promises are
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: certain today as when we first spoke them. He can
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: be trusted fully because his character it's unchanging. God is
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: justice and mercy. It will endure forever. Lamentations three, twenty
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: two and twenty three says steadfast, the love of the
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Lord never ceases, His mercy never comes out to an end.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: They are new every morning. Great is his faithfulness. He
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: extended his grace and his mercy one more time for you. You
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: woke up this morning. You got to see this new day.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Because somebody didn't get to see it. Somebody didn't wake
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: up this morning. But the fact that you got up,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: you got to see it. He does not wake us
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: up in a bad mood, nor does he tear, he
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: he tear up forgiving and restoring. God's mercy and grace
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: cannot be diluted nor exhausted by time or human failure.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: We have to anchor in ourday in God and his
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: unchanging love. One John three and one says, see what
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: green love the Father has lavished on you and on
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: us that we shall be called children of God. Again,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: he said, see what great love the Father hath lavished
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: on us, that we shall be called the children of God.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: He said, we are the children of God. So every
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: day we should be spending time in prayer, thanking God
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: for loving us steadily, no matter what our flaws are,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: no matter our doubts are, no matter what season we're in.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Let your worst be rooted in His unwaveringness. Settings He
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: loves you. He loves you right where you are. Why
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: because He created you fearfully and wonderfully made So stand
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: firm in God's promises. Stand firm on his words. Know
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: that He is not changing. Be reminded of Hebrews ten
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: and three. It said, let us unswervely to hope, we
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: profess for we for he who promised is faithful. Let
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: us hold swerthly to the hope we profess, for He
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: who promised is faithful. I want you to I want
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: you to think about that today. Y'all listen. A few
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: promises of God, that that that that seen that you
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: seem to be holding on to or challenged by your circumstance,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: y'all write it down, pray over them, and declare God's faithfulness,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: and choose to trust Him. In timing, you may be
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: going through a health crisis, you may be needing in
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: need of a financial breakthrough. You may be there may
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: be some things that God is placed in your spirit
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: and you're wondering when they're gonna come to pass. Because
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: you know that it was Him that praised it in
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: your spirit, He say hold on, hold on unswavingly to
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: hope that you profess that hope, that you profess that
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: thing that you are believe in it, for He who
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: promised is faithful. We can go over to his words
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: and flip through the pages and see what He's promised us,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: because y'all, there's a promise in there for every day.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: That's over three hundred and sixty five promises. So every
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: day you should be walking into something of God. You
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: should be expecting that God's gonna bless you on today.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: One of his promises shall come for How can we
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: see the promises of God, y'all? We got to spend
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: time with him. We got to reflect on these things.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: If you go down to the losh in three and
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: twelve and say, therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: dearly loved, close themselves with compassion, kindness, humility, genitiveness, and patience.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: That's why we can't give up on people. That's why
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: we gotta love people right where they are. That's why
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: we here searching for the things that we're wanting Him
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: to do for us, y'all, we gotta do them for
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: other people. We gotta show love. We want him to
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: love on us. We gotta show love to those that
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: we come in contact. We gotta be compassionate. We gotta
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: have empathy. And we can't just think abo ourselves because
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: over any visions, he say not don't just look on
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: your own things, he say, but look on the things
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: of others, y'all. And then we gotta be consistent. We
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: gotta allow God's love and the reflection of him. It's
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: got to come forward through our actions. I say this
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: often that the things that we do, it always should
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: reflect back to him. It should always be bringing him glory,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: even though it may be working to the other for
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: our good, even when it ain't working together for our goods.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: We got to know that we're here to glorify Him
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: and it always should reflect back to him. Understand that again,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: I say Colossians three and twelve. It say therefore, as
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved. If you profess
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: to be a Christian, if you profess these things over
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: your life, you should be moving and you should be
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: clothed in compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience that that
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: we have for someone else. God is gonna do it
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: in your life. You should ask God to help you
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: to be stad fast and to be in a safe
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: place for others. Be in place so that others can
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: see Him working in you. Because what you share in
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: the Jesus that's in you may be the only Jesus
• 24:56

  Speaker 2: around you feels unstable, he is yet faithful. His faithfulness
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: is the foundation that you can stand on when others.

  Speaker 2: When others shift, God stands when doubt arise. God's promises remain.
