$ove changes everything. $ove is the greatest power to change anything.I

(2011:45)
#he carnal human tendency is to assume that all things will continue as they are and as they0ve always een. 1ut the itter truth is, they won0t. Change is in the air% and just ecause the ig changes haven0t always happened visily when some folkssaid they would, and there may have een a numer of false alarms, doesn0t mean that they never will.

do
something to
change

(2011:93)
9ust changing your circumstances won0t ring aout the sort of changes you
really
need5
inward
changes.
(2011:98)
#he point is not
where
you are, ut much more importantly,
what
you are, and what y !y grace you0re
becoming
, if you yieldto the process I0m carrying out in your life to ring aout the desired
changes
.
If I can change you, save you, or do anything whatsoever to have any kind of impact on your life, I can do it
anywhere
.o, if you just stop worrying long enough aout whether you0re in the right place or not, or if or where there0s a place whereyou possily might e happier, maye I0ll just e ale to finish !y work in your life and ring aout those inner changes thatare
really
going to guarantee happiness, ecause it0s the right
attitudes
that will get you
there
, and it0s not so much dependenton the place where you are.
(2011:102)
3ou0ll have to admit that the greatest and most important work that0s going to have to e done
first
is to
change
you, andthat0s not going to happen overnight.2nd the less feverish *accomplishments you0re going to e sidetracked with, the more time you0ll have for thinking aout itand finding out what it is I want to change aout you and focus on the things that need to e changed.
#his is more than a matter of attitudes. It0s a matter of the
heart
, and what we are aiming for here is a fundamental change of heart. If things would continue to flow the way they always have een for you, then that wouldn0t e possile, since it wouldn0teven fa8e you that any such change might e necessary.o, if I0m putting you through the grinder, and things are ecoming etremely uncomfortale, the "uestion is not, *What mustI accomplish, ut much more likely, *What do I have to
change
4 3ou0re going to have to think and pray long and hard aout the areas in your life and heart I seriously want and need tochange efore we can even seriously talk aout any such thing as accomplishment.What0s really important and in the spotlight here is your heart and your eing ; that which has almost een most important to!e,
not
your
works
.If I0m using a child to reak and remold you and ring aout those necessary changes in you% does that surprise you4
(2011:104)
Cling to !y 6ower desperately enough to really evoke the kind of changes you need, and not e sidetracked y ideas of howyou can ring aout positive changes in your own strength.
(2011:127)
If you don0t like things the way they are, ask !e to
change
them+ It0s up to
you
to give !e a chance, to find out whether I0mcapale of
improving
things for you or not.
(2011:130)
If it ugs you that your wife wants to keep changing you, perhaps you may take comfort in the fact that I0ve een in the samefi all along: !y elievers have een trying to change !e and !y nature, even if only in their own minds and conceptions of !e for centuries and more.
(2011:131)
6erhaps that0s one more reason why men have got to have wives: otherwise they0d hardly ever change
anything
. !ayethere0s something
good
aout women not eing too easily satisfied with their current situations, ut always wanting to aspireto something new and etter.
They
are the ones having to spend the ulk of their time within those four walls you provide for them while you get to at leastenjoy some sort of change while you0re off at work, so it would only ehoove you to seek to keep your wife as happy as youpossily can and e willing to look for and seriously consider any opportunity for positive change and improvement you maycome across.If she wants change, and you don0t find any strong signal that would indicate that I0m opposing such change, it might e agood thing to start looking around for ways to making one happen. 3ou have to reali8e that if change is a positive factor that I promote and want to ring aout in your life, it0s oviously the7nemy who would oppose and counteract that drift and do whatever he can think up in order to prevent it from happening,including making your very comfortale with your current situation.Change is going to e needed sooner or later.
(2011:134)
#hings get going when there0s at least the possiility of a greater change on the hori8on.
(2011:138)
Whenever you0re ready for the changes, we0ll make0em.One of the iggest distractions the 7nemy comes up with is to get you to focus on the
temporal
environment, the
circumstances
, and your *place in this world. <e gets you to wish for all kinds of changes made in aspects of affluence andpersonal comfort, instead of the truly necessary,
interior
changes to e made in your house5<e tries to get you to make temporary changes promising to alter and improve your immediate situation y getting you todout whether the glorious lasting changes I promise will ever come to pass.I have created you with the aility to change. 3our house may seem eyond your capailities to cope with making thenecessary changes, ut you can overrule that mindset y clinging to !y 6romise that *2ll things are possile to him thatelieves.It takes emracing the prospects that change
is
indeed possile ; if not in your own strength or y your own means, thencertainly y !ine.
(2011:143)
3ou0ve got to learn how to wait for !y right time to ring aout changes in your life.
(20112:37)
One thing is trying or attempting to change yourself in your own carnal efforts and ecome whatever you ideali8e% another isto yield to !y workings in your life to make the changes
I
think are most necessary.#he main factor is that I know you etter, and thus know etter what sort of changes or *therapy you need to ring aout thetruly desirale results.
(2012:38)
Coming to face and grips with those failures to e true to your words is one of the first and most effective steps to ringaout genuine
change
.
(2012: 40)
ee what I might have in store for you that might change any plans you may e making in the ack of your head5
(2012:41)
3ou shouldn0t lame
Me
for what0s happening down there, ut you should only lame yourself for not availing yourself of !ypower more to
change
it+7verything that is
alive
must
progress
,
develop
and
change
somehow. 9ust ecause it says, *I am the $ord and I change not,it doesn0t mean that I don0t allow !y &ealm
around
!e to change.
(2012:51)
#hat0s why it0s so important for you to stay in tune with !e: 3ou0ve got the power to
change

(2012:52)
&esolve to make an effort to murmur and complain cuss less, or to improve in whichever way+ What many fail to see is theetent to which improvement would e not only desired, ut actually
needed
, and more than just a good idea.
(2012:53)
Changes
will
come. 1ut how can you est prepare for them4 1y complaining aout the here and now and wasting your energy on daydreaming aout etter times and places4 Or doing all you can to make the est of what you0ve got right hereand now, and allowing the fruit of your laors to assist you in any truly needed and necessary changes when the time for them comes4
(2012:59)
=nconditional acceptance is part of !y "ualities, and I
can
accept you the way you are, although I won0t deny that !y hopesand efforts go more in the direction of having you progress and mature, learn and change accordingly, from life0s lessons.#he good thing is that you0re
willing
to change and see the need for it, and sometimes a change of scenery
is
helpful inringing aout changes for those who need a little visile and tangile help and support.
(2012:63)
Changes are always good for you, especially when they cause you to reach out and stretch your faith and definitely approachand reach others more with the message you0re meant to give out as !y disciples.
(2012:87)
>o matter how times have changed and everyody thinks it0s the way to go nowadays, when the opportunity arises to let goof all that and do what you were really meant to, well, then that0s your chance to make a difference+
(2012:97)
#he whole thing is a it more open for change than you0re presently aware of. Information does change as the influ of itincreases.
(2012:121)
Why not ring some
changes
into the story, and instead of having you continue to do the same old thing, it0s time for something
new
4What did you all think came guaranteed in this life of discipleship4 #hat you were always going to keep up the same oldroutine4 Or did I say through !y prophet that the one thing that
was
guaranteed in this life was constant
change
4so I took the lierty to introduce some changes in your life, perhaps changes in your plans5 <ow aout
My
plan4 3ouprofess to e !y follower. o what0s so hard aout accepting a change of plans4 '

Changes are
always
good for you, even if it may not eactly seem like an
upgrade
to you+
(2012:139)
3ou won0t e ale to say your life was an eventless rut without any changes and adventures.Circumstances changed, and you had to trade in a good thing you had for something that you hoped would e etter, uthasn0t really turned out to e so.1ut the one encouraging thing I told you aout this process, is that I0ve managed to change
you
.
(2012:156)

(2012:180)
!ake a difference+
Be

(2013:4)
It0ll e the one difference that will really
make
a difference in the end and in the final analysis of all things: <ow muchattention did you pay to !e and !y Words, how much did you care aout what
I
had to say4
(2013:16)
When someone has a prolem with recurring discontent, you just have to sit ack for a while at times and watch as lifeunfolds its palette of lessons, designed to evoke
change
in that person0s life.=nfortunately, it0s not
good
things, ut those supposed *ad things that ring aout those changes and cultivate gratitude5#hose eperiences that make you
appreciate
the good you0ve had, or make you thankful when it gets etter again.
(2013:21)
#he est and first incentive for doing etter is to actually
want
to do etter. 6eople can pretty much do anything they really
want
, and if that0s what you truly want, you0ll
focus
on it, and eventually will actually
do
etter. *I wanna do etter is actually"uite a good resolve, and very often the first step toward positive
change
in many people0s lives.If you
want
to do etter, you
can
. $ike so many other things in life, it depends a lot on how much you
want
it.It0s really relatively easy to do
better
at this thing called
life
, if you only
want
it ad enough.It definitely always helps to make a it more of an
effort
. 2 little it more of an effort could make "uite a positive
difference
