God Has Not Changed His Mind - Part 7

In this episode, I bring our God Has Not Changed His Mind series to a close by walking through one powerful truth: God does not change His mind about His promises—no matter the trial, the time, or our mistakes. I anchor this teaching in Numbers 23:19 and reflect on the life of King David, showing how betrayal, persecution, delay, and temptation never altered what God had already spoken over his life.

I share how David faced repeated tests on his journey to the throne—tests of character, forgiveness, patience, and the temptation to settle for less than what God promised. We look at how even subtle "almost" victories can be traps, and why agreeing fully with God is not pride, but true humility. I also draw a powerful parallel from the life of Jesus, showing how He, too, rejected counterfeit kingship and refused to settle for anything less than the Father's plan.

Finally, I talk openly about the test of time and the weight of waiting. Using examples from David, Abraham and Sarah, and even my own life, I remind you that delay is not denial. Time does not rule God—He created time. Even when we make mistakes or grow weary, God remains faithful and finishes what He promised. My prayer is that this episode strengthens your faith, restores your hope, and reminds you that God's word over your life is still standing—unchanged and unstoppable.

In this powerful continuation of the teaching series God Has Not Changed His Mind, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches unpacks the unchanging nature of God through the life of David, anchoring the message in Numbers 23:19 and other key biblical passages. This episode explores how God's promises remain firm despite human weakness, emotional exhaustion, and prolonged seasons of testing. Through David's journey of rejection, injustice, and delay, listeners are reminded that God's faithfulness is not dependent on human perfection. Even when emotions run high and circumstances seem unfair, God remains steadfast, intentional, and fully committed to bringing His word to pass. This message speaks directly to believers navigating frustration, waiting seasons, spiritual fatigue, or unanswered prayers.

The episode also offers deep insight into spiritual maturity, highlighting how provocation, discouragement, and partial fulfillment can become subtle traps that derail destiny if left unchecked. Using the story of David, Abigail, and later David's leadership challenges, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches emphasizes that while God does not require perfection on the path to promise, He does require perseverance and presence. This teaching encourages listeners to resist settling prematurely, to remain focused on God's full promise, and to trust divine timing even when progress feels slow or costly. Rich with biblical wisdom and practical application, this episode serves as a reminder that God's plans extend beyond the individual and are ultimately designed to bless others, advance His kingdom, and reveal His unwavering character.

I'm Dr. Siovaughn Funches, and I'm honored once again to be your host here on The One ThingThat's Needful Podcast. In this episode, we continue our powerful series titled "God Has Not Changed His Mind."

Together, we dive even deeper into Numbers 23:19, which reminds us that God is not a man that He should lie, nor the son of man that He should change His mind. What He has spoken, He will surely perform.

Through the life of David, God continues to show us that no amount of adversity, delay, or opposition can change His mind about His promises. The devil may try to wear you down with discouragement or fear, but every trial is an opportunity to strengthen your faith—not weaken it.

We revisit David's journey from being anointed as king to being hunted by Saul, learning how jealousy, fear, and disobedience can open the door to destruction—but faith, humility, and obedience keep us aligned with God's will. Even when David had the chance to take revenge, he chose instead to trust God's timing and let the Lord fight his battles.

God is reminding us through this word: guard your heart, stay steadfast, and don't let hard times make you hard. His promises are still true. His Word still stands. He has not changed His mind about what He spoke over your life.

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 His promises for your life still stand.

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. The truth is, the devil knows he cannot stop God's plans for your life—so he tries to wear you down and make you give up. But I'm here to remind you: God has not changed His mind.

I also encourage you to go back and listen to previous parts of this series if you haven't already, and to take in what God is saying afresh. His Word is rich, alive, and personal for the season you're in.

Let your heart be stirred again by the truth that God is faithful. He's still moving. He's still working. And His promises are still yes and amen.

I'm Dr. Siohvaughn Funches, and I'm honored once again to be your host and to share with you the Word that God first shared with me. In this episode, I continue in our powerful series titled "God Has Not Changed His Mind." Together, we're diving into Numbers 23:19, where we're reminded that God is not a man—He doesn't lie, and He doesn't change His mind.

This message is so personal to me because I know what it's like to receive a promise from God with joy and excitement—only to be met with waiting, discouragement, and even persecution. But I'm here to encourage you: God doesn't change His mind. What He said, He will do. He is faithful to fulfill every promise He has spoken over your life.

We talk about that often-forgotten season between the planting of God's Word and the harvest—the "waiting room," as I like to call it. If you haven't yet heard my episode "Waiting Room Wisdom," I highly recommend giving it a listen—or re-listen. The enemy often uses that in-between time to plant doubt, fear, and unbelief. But God is still working, even when we can't see it.

Key Takeaways:

• God doesn't lie or change His mind: What He has spoken, He will perform (Numbers 23:19).

• The enemy comes for the Word's sake: Trials and persecution often follow after a Word is received.

• There's a sowing, waiting, and harvest season: Don't give up in the "waiting room."

• Your destiny is secure: No matter the delay, God's promise still stands.

• God is faithful to finish what He started: Stay encouraged and rooted in His Word.

In this powerful teaching, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches continues her study on the life of David, diving deep into God's perspective on righteousness and the significance of the heart. Through 1 Samuel 16 and other key scriptures, Dr. Funches reminds listeners that man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. She encourages believers to stop judging themselves—or others—based on performance or external standards and instead receive the gift of righteousness that comes by faith in Jesus Christ.

This episode is a call to stop striving for approval through self-righteousness and to rest in the righteousness that God freely gives. Using David's story, Dr. Funches paints a compelling picture of how even when man overlooks us—sometimes even those closest to us—God still appoints and anoints according to His purpose. If God chose David, the overlooked shepherd boy, He can and has chosen you.

Key Takeaways:

• God's standard is the heart: He does not judge by outward appearance (1 Samuel 16).

• Self-righteousness is rejected: It's not about what you do or don't do—true righteousness is a gift received by faith in Jesus.

• You are already righteous: If you believe in Jesus, you are clothed in God's own righteousness—nothing you do can add to that.

• You may be overlooked by people—but not by God: Even David's own father and brothers didn't consider him, but God appointed him king.

• Your calling is from God: Man may appoint leaders, but true spiritual authority and calling come from God Himself.

• Don't miss God: Even without external validation, remain faithful and confident in what God has said and shown you.
