God Has Not Changed His Mind (Part 7)

If you’ve ever wondered whether God changed His mind about you, your promise, or your destiny — this message is for you. In Episode 7 of The One Thing That’s Needful Podcast, Dr. Siovaughn Funches Dunham walks us through Scripture to prove one unshakable truth: God is not a man that He should lie. He does not change His mind.

This episode centers around Book of Numbers 23:19, a foundational scripture declaring that when God speaks, He acts. When He promises, He performs. And no amount of time, trials, temptation, or personal mistakes can undo what God has already ordained.

Key Scripture: Numbers 23:19

“God is not a man, so He does not lie. He is not human, so He does not change His mind. Has He ever spoken and failed to act? Has He ever promised and not carried it through?”

These rhetorical questions anchor the entire message. The answer is clear: No. Never. Not once.

Listen to the full episode God Has Not Changed His Mind (Part 7)

Dr. Dunham revisits the life of King David to show how promises are often tested before they’re fulfilled.

1. The Test of Betrayal

David was anointed king, yet hunted like a criminal by King Saul. Despite relentless persecution, David refused to repay evil for evil. His character qualified him for the throne long before he sat on it.

2. The Temptation to Settle

David was crowned king of Judah — but not yet king of all Israel. It would have been easy to settle. But partial fulfillment is not the same as God’s full promise.

3. The Test of Time

It took approximately 17 years from David’s anointing to his full kingship. Seventeen years of waiting. Seventeen years of refining. Seventeen years where the enemy could whisper, “Maybe God changed His mind.”

But He hadn’t

Jesus and the Subtle Trap of “Almost”

In Gospel of John 6, after feeding 5,000 people, the crowd tried to force Jesus to become king immediately.

It looked like fulfillment.
It felt like destiny.
It sounded right.

But it was premature and incomplete.

Jesus refused to settle for a counterfeit coronation because He understood timing and purpose. The kingdom promised to Him was eternal — not political, not rushed, not manipulated by public opinion.

Lesson: Not every opportunity is God’s promise. Some are distractions dressed as destiny.

Abraham & Sarah: When Mistakes Don’t Cancel the Promise

The story of Abraham and Sarah is perhaps the clearest example of delayed promise.

  • Promise given when Abraham was 75
  • Fulfillment came when he was 100
  • Waiting period: 25 years

In between, they attempted to “help” God by producing Ishmael in their own strength.

Yet even their massive mistake did not cause God to withdraw His word. Isaac — the promised son — was still born.

Your impatience does not intimidate God.
Your mistakes do not override His covenant.
Your timeline does not govern His faithfulness.


Delay Is Not Denial

One of the most powerful statements in this episode is this:

“Time is not God. God created time.”

We inherit the promises of God through faith and patience (Hebrews 6:12). Waiting seasons refine us, but they do not revoke God’s word.

If David waited 17 years…
If Abraham waited 25 years…
If Jesus waited 30 years before public ministry…

Then your waiting season is not evidence of divine abandonment.

It is preparation.

Final Encouragement

Whether you are battling doubt, discouragement, condemnation, or exhaustion in your waiting season — this message is clear:

God has not changed His mind about you.

He is not human.
He does not lie.
He does not reconsider His covenant.

And what He promised, He will surely bring to pass.
