I only hope the change its not because of the record label.
It could be,because in the past we know it happened several time with the singles,but I believe that with the new deal Jon just signed with the label,those things had changed,and Jon will have the last word to say about it.
I thought it could be like in Crush,when Its My Life was the last song written for the album and changed the original decision of Say It Isnt So as the first single,but I think its not the case.
This House must have been one of the first songs for the album,because Jon told the title at a Runaway Tours event,cant remember exactly,but at least a year and a half.
I hope the single to be a real rock song,with anger,not the typical commercial radio pop rock song.
I hope the change is for good,well see,but im not predicting how the songs will be because of the title,cause I think is in vain.

You've got a point there and I just hope that God Bless This Mess will at least have made it onto the album and won't end up in the vaults due to them reconciling with their record company.

I don't recall anyone official ever saying that God Bless This Mess was the first single.

Jon talked about this at the Runaway Tours event on April 30th, 2016.

Back then he stated during the Q&A segment of the show:
1. “This House Is Not For Sale” will be released in September.
2. The first single is titled, "God Bless this Mess" and will be released to radio in July.

Sounds somewhat familiar I just don't recall Jon stating that "God Bless This Mess is he first single that will be released in July"

Edit: I just went back to look and I'm the one who posted it (man, am I getting old)... This was from the Austin show where a fan who was at the show posted it but no official audio of Jon saying it ever surfaced... That explains why I can't recall a vision of Jon actually saying it...
