In today’s episode, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches talks about how “God Is Our Divine Protector.” It is the perfect will of God to provide for us His divine protection. Dr. Funches begins this podcast with a prayer for protection on the believers in Jesus Christ and on first responders and the national and international leaders dealing with the coronavirus pandemic and on born-again believers dealing with loss or other problems.
Dr. Funches stresses that all the books of the Bible prove God’s will to protect His people. God works on you from the inside out and when your heart is right, your life will be right. God’s message is on time and timeless as He transforms believers into the image of Christ.
Listen in to hear how you, a believer in Jesus, can trust in God’s divine protection for you.
