I am Changing Slowly 2.

There is much evidence in the Bible that says people do not make dramatic changes quickly. It often takes God and man several interactions to motivate people to change.  Prochaska and Di Clemente discovered Six Stages in each case of change.

1.     Pre-Contemplation: I have not thought I had a problem. Ignorance of a problem.

2.     Contemplation: A light goes on and I think I might have a problem.

3.     Considering a Change: Someday I will make a change.

4.     Change Begun-I will do it now

5.     Change Continues-Maintenance-

6.     Change Completed

7.     I added #7. Integrating insights for Wellness

Can you think of any of the Christian leaders in the Bible who struggled through these stages and even relapsed? Who?Read Humpty Dumpty for examples.
