DOES GOD CHANGE HIS MIND?

For sometime now I have been thinking and pondering over this question, and I know some of you have had the same thought. In this post, I will try to explain to you some of the answers to the question above. Firstly, what is change of mind? It is a decision to reverse an earlier decision. To decide against an earlier decision. Can God really make a reverse on His decision? The Bible says in Mal.3:6,“For tI the Lord do not change; utherefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed. Definitely God cannot change, His unchangeable, but changes thingsNum. 23:19,God is not man, that  lie,or a son of man, that he should change his mind.Has he said, and will he not do it? has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it? The two scriptures above proves that God does not change. But a critical look at the Scriptures, you will agree with me that they talk about God's ability to do what He has decided to do, and no one can stop Him. They prove His sovereign nature as ELOHIM. But remember also that God had in time forgiven men of sins and decided against His decision to punish them.Jonah 3:10,10 When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it. When a man humbles himself and repent before the Lord, the Lord will look down on Him with compassion. But if anyone is full of pride and do not humble himself before the Lord, the Lord will repent of his blessing. The Lord resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble.
God cannot change, but does change His mind in circumstances that proves His love. King Hezekiah is another good example of God's nature of love and kindness to those who humble themselves before Him.
