God's nature doesn't change, but how you follow him does across different seasons of life. The speaker shares how his weekly schedule shifted completely from single to married life, and applying the old pattern would have wrecked both. Listen for what the Holy Spirit is saying to you right now, not what worked before.
Don't put God in the box of your expectation, because sometimes it's difficult to discern the instructions from the Lord because we're holding to a set of already established beliefs or a set of stipulations like, God, it has to be this, this, this, and this. And if we're not willing to let go of those preconceived ideas, then you just may miss the voice of the Lord. I'm not saying that God changes. I'm not saying that his will changes. I'm not saying that his commands change. I'm saying that seasons change. And because seasons change, the instructions for that season are going to vary within the Boundaries of Scripture. So, for example, there was a very specific way the Lord had me prepare my schedule for any given week when I was single, and then after I got married, the Lord had me prepare my schedule in a much different way. Now, if I tried to live by my single schedule in my married life, it would wreck my marriage and it would wreck the ministry. I was traveling that often. I wasn't setting aside time for date nights and family nights. It would destroy both the marriage and the ministry. So you can't take yesterday's revelation and apply it to today in the exact same way that you applied it yesterday. Yes, truth will always. Yes, God's commands are unchanging, but again, seasons change. He's the same God yesterday, today, and forever, yes, but seasons change.
