LOL... ah yes. I see this mentality far too often. People say "the Lord told me to do such and such"... so as to concrete it in the minds of others as being the right thing to do... but then... if it doesn't work out... oh... well, the Lord said we need to do such and such now.
What it really is, they are seeking to justify their own desires by labeling them "the will of God" thereby making the will of God look as changeable as the wind. They have not found the will of God, they have just labeled something as the will of God, to justify their own behaviors.
This is not at all how the "will of God" works.
