Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes

Mom had found this and sent it to me. I thought it was good:

Prov. 26:11 As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.

God can do anything but fail. He can take nothing and make something out of it. He can take what is blind and give it sight. He can take what is wrong and make it right! He is God. So, the problem is not whether or not God can change you, but the real dilemma is whether or not you changed your mind about your situation! I hear women all the time telling me how they are seeking God for this or that, but yet and still, they make no effort to break away from the people in their lives that are tormenting them! I hear men by the thousands tell me how they do good for a while and then they fall back into poverty, lust, or other sins every time, but they hold on to negative people, places, or things that they embraced before they fell.

People listen to this. NOTHING CHANGES IF NOTHING CHANGES!!! You can fast and seek God for a year, but if YOU don't make changes, then nothing will change! Why seek God but you won't get past your family's opinion of you? Why pray to God if you won't allow him to free you from what binds you? Why are you regurgitating that old word you got from a conference in 1999 when you won't let go of those things that are hindering you in 2007? God can do anything, but you MUST do some things! God wants to fix you up, but you have to make some changes. That man or woman that you should have never got involved with because they serve absolutely no Spiritual purpose in your life! That friend or family member that is always needing but never giving, just bringing up stuff they did for you years ago to keep you bound! That dead-end job or church home where the pastor is no good and the members are all shady! Change your unproductive surroundings and then believe God for change. Change will not occur as long as your hold on to the things that keep you where you are. Regardless of your fasting, praying, or seeking, if you don't make changes things will stay the same!
