When God blesses one, He blesses all through that gift. Others also need to see your sign and your miracle. It is God’s will to teach us all these things. Now is the time to receive those benefits and blessings by faith in the Living God who has done it all for you, already. We don’t want to delay our destiny.
God says to be anxious for nothing. Dr. Funches explains Psalm 1:1–3 to apply it to New Covenant believers, contrasting prosperity in God against the greed for money. Dr. Funches covers the connections between knowing God and Jesus, knowing the Word and the truth, and being free. We learn in 1 Samuel 1 that God answers our desires and in John 15:5,7 that those who abide in the Word, Jesus, bear much fruit and they will have the desires they ask of Him.
Please listen as Dr. Funches examines the benefits and blessings of knowing God through His Word.
