However, change begins with <strong>an action of faith<\/strong>. If you are carrying the burden of an <strong>unresolved injustice<\/strong>, know that the <strong>Week of Decision<\/strong> began on <strong>Sunday, July 19th<\/strong>, to help you find answers and change the course of your life.<\/big><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Change Begins With a Decision<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Often, people wait for time or others to solve their problems. However, true transformation happens when we take responsibility and <strong>make a decision<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>No one\u2019s life can change without making <strong>important decisions<\/strong>. Whether big or small, these decisions depend on the person\u2014not on God or anyone else.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Turning Point: When You Finally Say, \u201cEnough!\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>For change to happen, one must awaken a sense of indignation toward their current situation. Complacency keeps people trapped in the same problems, while dissatisfaction can lead to the decision to act.<\/p>\n<p>The person needs to become tired of the situation and reach the point of saying, \u201cEnough!\u201d Tired of crying, tired of suffering, and tired of seeing the same thing repeat itself.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, the person keeps complaining and waiting, but the time has come for them to become <strong>fed up with the situation<\/strong> and <strong>decide to change<\/strong> what is happening in their life.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Price of Change: What Must Be Left Behind<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Every decision to change requires <strong>renunciation and sacrifice<\/strong>. It is impossible to build a new story while <strong>carrying old habits<\/strong> and defeatist thoughts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Every decision requires disconnection<\/strong>. Perhaps one needs to disconnect from people who are holding them back in their old ways. One must eliminate bad habits and negative thoughts that pollute the mind.<\/p>\n<p>These thoughts must be removed from the mind of anyone who wishes to be happy, whether in their love life or any other area. Every decision requires some kind of cut, which involves sacrifice.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Take Your Decision to the Altar During the Week of Decision<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Participate in the <strong>seven days of cryout prayers<\/strong>\u00a0for a definition in your life. <strong>Write down the decision<\/strong> you make on a piece of paper and <strong>take it to the Altar<\/strong> at <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/universalchurchusa.org\/en\/locations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">The Universal Church<\/span><\/a><\/span> at the following times:<\/p>\n<p class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-start=\"228\" data-end=\"294\"><strong data-start=\"228\" data-end=\"271\">\u2022 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday: <\/strong>10 AM, 4 PM, or 7 PM<br \/>\n<strong data-start=\"296\" data-end=\"322\">\u2022 Thursday\u2014Love Therapy: <\/strong>7 PM<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Everyone is welcome, regardless of religious beliefs or background. <\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Come as you are. <\/span><\/strong>For more information, please call\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"tel:18883324141\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">1-888-332-4141<\/span><\/a> <\/span>or text\u00a0<strong>1-888-312-4141<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin: 20px 0;\"><a style=\"display: inline-block; background-color: #203769; color: #ffffff; padding: 14px 28px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 5px; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; box-shadow: 0 3px 6px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15); transition: background-color 0.3s ease;\" href=\"https:\/\/universalchurchusa.org\/en\/locations\/\">Click Here for Nationwide Locations of The Universal Church<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin: 20px 0;\"><a style=\"display: inline-block; background-color: #203769; color: #ffffff; padding: 14px 28px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 5px; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; box-shadow: 0 3px 6px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15); transition: background-color 0.3s ease;\" href=\"tel:18883324141\">Call 1-888-332-4141 for More Information<\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you live in a city <strong>without one of our locations<\/strong> or cannot commute due to <strong>health reasons<\/strong>, we invite you to join our\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/universalchurchusa.org\/en\/post\/tuc-virtual-church\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Virtual Church<\/span><\/a><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> via <strong>Zoom and phone conference<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin: 20px 0;\"><a style=\"display: inline-block; background-color: #203769; color: #ffffff; padding: 14px 28px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 5px; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; box-shadow: 0 3px 6px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15); transition: background-color 0.3s ease;\" href=\"https:\/\/ulfn.org\/virtualchurch\/\">Click Here for More Information on the Virtual Church<\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Many people face seemingly endless struggles, live with unsolvable situations, and wonder how long their suffering will continue.
