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.

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.

For the believer — for the born again Christian, faith in Jesus leads to receiving all the blessings God has in mind for His people. If God sends you His will in a dream, you know it will come to pass. Please listen in to find more of the blessings of faith in the Word.

KEY BIBLE VERSES

[13:15] 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.”

[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.”

This episode series reminds us of a very simple yet powerful truth: when you follow Jesus' instructions, you experience the miraculous and enjoy the answer to your prayers! It is the Lord who leads us to our promised land and causes us to triumph, but He doesn't always do it in a way we expect or think. Thus, it is imperative that no matter how unorthodox the Lord's instructions may seem to us as humans, we need to follow them! Dr. Siohvaughn Funches tells you that Jesus will always get you to where you need to be...after all, He is the way!

Thank you for joining us here on The One Thing That's Needful podcast, where Dr. Siohvaughn Funches expounds on the gospel of Jesus Christ and the New Covenant of grace that He has placed every believer in, helping believers understand that in the New Covenant, Christ has done it all and there remains one thing for a believer to do in order to receive it: only believe. Since the Word of God promises that the faith to believe comes by hearing and hearing the Word of Christ, today, you will do just that and you will believe. And as a result, you will inherit every promise God made you and fulfill the destiny Jesus gave you.

KEY BIBLE VERSES

[4:16] John 1:17, NASB 17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

[7:29] Exodus 20 (the Ten Commandments; the Old Covenant).

[9:47] Hebrews 8:10-13, NKJV 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more. 13 In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

[13:11] Romans 5:20, NKJV 20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,

[13:21] Romans 6:14, NKJV 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

[14:17] Galatians 3:10, NKJV 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.”

[16:55] Galatians 3:13, NKJV 13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),

[20:00] 2 Corinthians 3:7-11, NKJV 7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory. 10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels. 11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.

[22:16] 2 Corinthians 3:4-6, NKJV 4 And we have such trust through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, 6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

[23:59] Exodus 19:11-12, NKJV 11 And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the Lord will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. 12 You shall set bounds for the people all around, saying, ‘Take heed to yourselves that you do not go up to the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.’

[25:42] 1 Corinthians 6:19, NKJV 19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

[25:54] Galatians 2:20, NKJV 20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

[26:43] Galatians 3:11, NKJV 11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.”

[27:01] Romans 8:33, NKJV 33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.

[27:28] Romans 3:28, NKJV 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law.

[27:38] Romans 4:5, NKJV 5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,

[27:55] Romans 4:6, NKJV 6 just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:

[28:06] Romans 5:1, NKJV 1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

Continuing on our reflection on following whatever He tells you without second thoughts, we now meditate on the story of the healing of Naaman from leprosy. Despite being a foreigner, the Lord sent Elijah to him, using the prophet as His shadow of healing. May his story remind us that humility is a needed factor in realizing the blessings God bestows upon us. If we let pride get in our way, our souls will remain in the dirt. If God opens a path for us, we have no other choice but to walk down it, however unorthodox or questionable it is. He does not lie. He does not falter in His faith. After all, He is the Way!

As we continue to discuss the powerful and meaningful mission of following the Lord, we give a closer look at the miracles we experience in our lives. You are called to do whatever He tells you to do, and something magical will surely happen next. Miracles may not always be as we expect them to be, but Jesus knows what's best for us, what we deserve, and what we are praying for. Our understanding may not fathom the Lord's plans for us, but He is with us every step of the way should we choose to follow Him. With Jesus, everything is possible. After all, He is the way!
