Why God Hasn’t Changed Your Situation Yet.

Main message: Take personal responsibility—God saves and supplies the strength and resources you need, but change happens when you align with God's Word and take action. If you will be willing and obedient, God will open doors and bless the areas of your life.

Key points:

• "I am responsible": stop blaming others; leaders (parents, pastors, spouses) must lead and model the change they want to see.
• Change is an inside job—God gives strength and everything you need (Phil. 4:13; 2 Pet. 1:3), but you must do your part.
• Align your life to Scripture with willing obedience (Isaiah 1:19; Proverbs 16:3); as you submit, your desires will become God's desires and plans will be established.
• Trust God to open and close doors—try the "doorknobs" (take steps of faith, ask/seek/knock) rather than waiting passively (Isaiah 22; Matt. 7).
• Stand on God’s promises for specific needs (marriage, children, provision, health) and take practical steps: serve, adjust service times to make room for newcomers, join a life group, and give.
