God Has Not Changed His Mind (Part 4)
The One Thing That's Needful
In this episode of The One Thing That’s Needful, I continue our series, God Does Not Change His Mind. Together we turn to Numbers 23:19 and the story of David and Goliath to see how God’s promises never fail. David’s victory wasn’t about his strength or weapons, but about keeping his focus on the Lord. I share how remembering God’s past faithfulness helps us face today’s battles with confidence, and why it’s so important to fix our eyes on God instead of circumstances or signs. Facts may change, but God’s Word never changes. Every battle He allows is already a fixed fight, and...

God Has Not Changed His Mind (Part 3)
The One Thing That's Needful
In this episode, I continue our powerful series titled "God Has Not Changed His Mind." We go deeper into Numbers 23:19, a foundational verse that reminds us that God is not a man that He should lie, nor the son of man that He should change His mind. If He said it, He will do it. I share what God first shared with me—that His promises still stand, even if it’s been a long time, even if you've faced trials, setbacks, or disappointments. Just like David on his way to the throne, we all go through seasons of waiting and warfare. But the enemy's attacks are meant to change your mind, not God's....

But I’m here to encourage...

info_outlineIn today’s episode, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches begins a new series and delves into the benefits and blessings of knowing God. Dr. Funches picks up where she left off in the last episode, recapping a bit from last week and then diving deeper into these truths. To know God is to know His Word. The benefits and blessings of knowing God are the benefits and blessings of knowing Jesus because Jesus is the Word. Dr. Funches encourages you to listen to the messages from the previous weeks. Dr. Funches says God is using those messages to teach us how to inherit our inheritance.
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.
