is not a man, so He does not lie. He is not human, so He does not

promised and not carried it through?

good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from

God
Never Changes His Mind, An Example:
Jonah
1:1,2 NLT (God's pronouncement,
Nineveh, headed for judgment.)
The
Lord gave this message to Jonah son of Amittai:
2
“Get up and go to the great city of Nineveh. Announce My judgment
against it because I have seen how wicked its people are.”
Jonah
3:6-10 NLT
6
When the king of Nineveh heard what Jonah was saying (God's
call to repentance), he stepped down from his throne and
took off his royal robes. He dressed himself in burlap and sat on a
heap of ashes.
7
Then the king and his nobles sent this decree throughout the city:
“No one, not even the animals from your herds and flocks, may eat
or drink anything at all.
8
People and animals alike must wear garments of mourning, and everyone
must pray earnestly to God. They must turn from their evil ways and
stop all their violence.
9
Who can tell? Perhaps even yet God will change His mind and hold back
His fierce anger from destroying us.”
10
When God saw what they had done and how they had put a stop to their
evil ways, He changed His mind and did not carry out the destruction
He had threatened.
Did
God Change His Mind?
What changed, was the people of Nineveh!
God's judgment is always against unrepentant sinners,
but Nineveh confessed their sins and repented before God.
They went from a place of judgment to a place of
God's mercy and love!
Jeremiah
18:7-10 NLT
7
If I announce that a certain nation or kingdom is to be uprooted,
torn down, and destroyed,
8
but then that nation renounces its evil ways, I will not
destroy it as I had planned.
9
And if I announce that I will plant and build up a certain nation or
kingdom,
10
but then that nation turns to evil and refuses to obey Me, I
will not bless it as I said I would.
Prayer:
I
John 1:9 KJV
If
we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
