KEY BIBLE VERSES

[3:08] John 3:16–17, NKJV 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

[6:23] Genesis 1–4, (full chapters; Adam and Eve)

[9:12] 1 John 2:12, NKJV 12 I write to you, little children, Because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake.

[10:03] Romans 8:1, NKJV 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

[28:27] Mark 5:25:34, NKJV 25 Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. 28 For she said, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well." 29 Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched My clothes?" 31 But His disciples said to Him, "You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, 'Who touched Me?'" 32 And He looked around to see her who had done this thing. 33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. 34 And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction."

In 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.

In today's episode, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches continues the series, "Your Dream is Coming to Pass." Dr. Funches recaps the message from last week and reminds New Covenant believers that this message — your dream is coming to pass — is a timeless, relevant, rhema message, word, and revelation from God. This is something you could listen to, time and time again and it would only do you good. God is faithful. He cannot lie. The Word of God is certain and sure. The blessings of God are not just for our benefit or the benefit of our loved ones at home but the benefit of everyone.

Dr. Funches looks at the life of Joseph in Genesis. As Joseph was prophesied in a dream to rule over them, his brothers jealously sold him into slavery to the Ishmaelites. Joseph was taken to Egypt but God repeatedly showed favor to Joseph, placing him in a position of power. Dr. Funches reviews the story of Potiphar's wife accusing Joseph and causing him to be a prisoner. God continues to show favor to Joseph and he is promoted over all the prisoners. Joseph interprets the dreams of the butler and the baker but was kept in prison for two more years, until Pharaoh had troubling dreams and Joseph was summoned to interpret the dream. God gave the interpretation of the dreams and the solution to the upcoming famine to Joseph. Pharaoh promoted Joseph over Potiphar and the entire nation, under Pharaoh. God, in His mercy and grace, did that for Joseph. Dr. Funches explains that God's blessings and promises can come to pass in an instant. Joseph later saved his own family and his nation with grain stored during the years of plenty.

God kept Joseph's heart from bitterness, loneliness, and dismay. Listen in to hear how God will bless with power the New Covenant believers who believe Jesus.

KEY BIBLE VERSES

[4:15] Isaiah 55:10, 11, NKJV 10 "For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, 11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

[8:41] Mark 4:1–9, 13–20, NKJV 1 (read or listen to last week's message.)

[18:17] Genesis 37:1–10, NKJV 1 Now Jacob dwelt in the land where his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan. 2 This is the history of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. And the lad was with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph brought a bad report of them to his father. 3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age. Also he made him a tunic of many colors. 4 But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peaceably to him. 5 Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more. 6 So he said to them, "Please hear this dream which I have dreamed: 7 There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf." 8 And his brothers said to him, "Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?" So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words. 9 Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his brothers, and said, "Look, I have dreamed another dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me." 10 So he told it to his father and his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, "What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall your mother and I and your brothers indeed come to bow down to the earth before you?" 11 And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind.

[21:41] Mark 4:1-9, NKJV 1 And again He began to teach by the sea. And a great multitude was gathered to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole multitude was on the land facing the sea. 2 Then He taught them many things by parables, and said to them in His teaching: 3 "Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4 And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds of the air came and devoured it. 5 Some fell on stony ground, where it did not have much earth; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of earth. 6 But when the sun was up it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away. 7 And some seed fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no crop. 8 But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred." 9 And He said to them, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

[22:46] Mark 4:13-20, NKJV 13 And He said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? 14 The sower sows the word. 15 And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16 These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word's sake, immediately they stumble. 18 Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word, 19 and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. 20 But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred."

In today's episode, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches begins a new series, "Your Dream is Coming to Pass." Dr. Funches begins with the relevance of the rhema Word of God in this message today and the power of meditating on this truth and getting it inside us as well as being able to teach it to others. Dr. Funches shows in Isaiah that the Word of God comes down as the rain and the snow from heaven, and shall not return to God void. She uses the parable of the sower found in Mark chapter 4 to remind us that where the word of God grows it brings forth much fruit.

In today's episode, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches finishes the series, "Putting it in the Hands of Jesus." Dr. Funches introduces this message by stating that whether we have a mess of our own or we are involved in someone else's mess, as we put it in the almighty hands of Jesus, He will turn your mess into whatever miracle you need, beyond even your prayers.

Dr. Funches recaps the message from last week, that Jesus washes us clean. His word is a lamp to our feet. It directs our paths. One thing is needful — getting at the feet of Jesus and hearing His word. Jesus is God's Word. When we know the Word, we know the Son of God, who is God. Jesus is the Light of the world. Jesus is the Bread of Life. He is everything that we can possibly need. Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life.

In this week's message, Dr. Funches teaches that no one can serve two masters. Mammon is of the devil. Jesus knows our needs before we do. God supplies all of our needs. We must grasp the truth that we cannot serve God and mammon. Dr. Funches takes us to a study of Luke 5 where Jesus blessed Simon, James, and John with a catch of fish that started to sink their boats and they followed Him. God provides and His provision changes as He wills it. Dr. Funches speaks about tithing. When you give God 10% of your income, it is a way of putting it in His Hands. God will open the windows of heaven and pour at that there will not be room enough to receive it. You will have to give some of it away! When you give God 10%, 100% becomes holy. You can't lose, with God. Whatever is put in His hands grows and multiplies.

Listen in to hear how God favors the New Covenant believer who puts their needs into the hands of Jesus.

KEY BIBLE VERSES

[18:46] Matthew 6:24, NKJV 24 "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Mammon."

[24:33] Luke 5:1–11, NKJV 1 So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, 2 and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets. 3 Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat. 4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, "Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch." 5 But Simon answered and said to Him, "Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net." 6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. 7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!" 9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken; 10 and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men." 11 So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him.

[35:37] Malachi 3:10, NKJV 10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this," Says the Lord of hosts, "If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it."

[38:43] Romans 11:16, NKJV 16 For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
