Change Is Coming: A Spiritual Metamorphosis

By Pastor Troy Bunch

Change and God are two words, which define life. Something must change in order to create change. The King James Bible states it all profoundly in Ecclesiastes 3:1To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. Merriam -Webster describes one definition of change as undergoing transformation, transition, or substitution. To give a different position, course, or direction to replace with another. The change a human being experiences in life often emulates the changes and stages a Caterpillar/Butterfly experiences. A Caterpillar goes through a life cycle known as complete metamorphosis, which is a striking alteration in appearance, character, or circumstances. The Caterpillar/Butterflys life cycle includes egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The life cycle of a human includes: Infancy, Childhood, Adolescence and Adulthood.

The main job of an adult butterflys life is to reproduce. After a female butterfly mates, she searches for the proper host plant to lay her eggs and the cycle begins again. Such is the cycle of a human being.

In this book Troy Bunch uses poetry & short stories as an example to show the different changes human beings experience in life. From natural and physical to emotional and spiritual. From inspirational to sensational. From confrontational to peace. From hate to love. From confusion and illusion to revelation and reality. From vanity to prosperity. From self-centeredness to sincerity. From oneness to relationship. From feeling incomplete to becoming complete. From uncertainty to complacency. From sadness and depression to happiness and expression. The poems in this book gives examples of these exact changes through which life takes individuals. No matter who you are or what you go through, one thing is guaranteed CHANGE IS COMING.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT/THANK YOU

As I place together my acknowledgement page, I start thinking about individuals who are the most influential in my life. My steps towards wearing the uniform of God’s Glory is lined with FAITH. Living and learning has taught me to draw closer to God.

Change is Coming (A Spiritual Metamorphosis) is a book, which took 10-years to complete. This was time well spent between God and myself. He supplied me with everything I needed for this project. As Psalm 23:1 states, The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not WANT.

God is TIME in my life. Baby steps with spiritual milk & meat fulfills my appetite. It helps me along my journey. Father God has always shown me things through the test of His TIME. My independence day was on a Sunday, back in July 1982, which is the month I gave my life to Christ.

I would like to thank the individuals, whom God has chosen to help bring my gift of writing to the next level. Extremely spacious room has allowed me to excel and become even more developed in Christ. The lifestyle of Humility and the power of prayer, has kept me moving.

In regards to my battle with Cancer, God totally used it for His Glory! There is not one person, who has heard my testimony and cannot allow the word GOD to become their first response. I am a Stage IV Cancer Survivor. When placing those words together, it causes my spiritual baby, the Holy Spirit to just leap inside of me. I am literally a walking miracle!

I would like to thank my Divine Inspiration, My Best Friend, My Comforter, My Bread of Heaven and the creator of all my gifts. The Trinity. My team of champions all rolled into one. I would like to also thank my beautiful talented Prayer Warrior of a Daughter Sariah. My hard working, goal oriented and loving son Marcus. The Bunch & Banks Family. My Best Friend Douglass Davis, Carolyn Taite, Connie Taylor and Katheryn Zoll. My Blessed, Spiritually
