    If You Don't Have It You Don't Need It (Part 8)

    In this episode of The One Thing That's Needful Podcast, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches-Dunnom continues the series "If You Don't Have It, You Don't Need It." The message is anchored in Philippians 4:19 and reinforces the central theme that God is the source of every real need, so believers are called to trust His provision rather than their own limited understanding. The teaching follows Paul and Silas in Acts 16, showing how God redirected their steps, opened Lydia's heart, and then used their imprisonment as the stage for a supernatural deliverance. Even while bound in the inner dungeon with their feet in stocks, they prayed and sang hymns at midnight, and God answered with an earthquake that opened the doors and broke the chains of every prisoner. A major emphasis of the episode is that captivity is often built on doubt, fear, and unbelief, but faith is stronger and comes by hearing the word of Christ. Dr. Funches-Dunnom encourages listeners to stop reacting in the flesh, let God defend them, and remember that even the darkest season can have a divine purpose. The episode closes with a strong call to keep believing, even if freedom has not yet fully shown up in the natural. Like Paul, Silas, and the jailer's household, the listener is pointed toward salvation, breakthrough, and the assurance that God can turn a prison into a place of praise and testimony (00:00) Podcast Welcome (01:14) Opening Prayer (02:14) Key Scriptures (06:56) Captivity And Freedom (09:58) Praise And Prepare (11:40) Faith Comes Hearing (13:23) Paul And Silas Setup (16:05) Acts 16 Reading Begins (16:33) Spirit Led Detours (17:45) Arrival At Philippi (18:09) Lydia Welcomes Paul (18:28) Fortune Teller Spirit (19:08) Wrestle Not Flesh (20:18) Instant Deliverance Power (24:41) Backlash Over Money (25:39) Beaten And Imprisoned (27:09) Midnight Praise Breakthrough (28:52) Jailer Saved Household (31:15) Purpose In The Prison (31:57) Final Blessing Resources

    If You Don't Have It You Don't Need It (Part 7)

    In this episode of The One Thing That's Needful Podcast, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches-Dunnom advances her inspiring series, "If You Don't Have It, You Don't Need It," anchored in Philippians 4:19. The teaching emphasizes trusting God's abundant provision over human logic or visible resources, using biblical testimonies to build faith as per Revelation 12:11. Peter's dramatic imprisonment in Acts 12 exemplifies this principle. Bound with double chains between soldiers, guarded heavily, and facing execution after King Herod killed James to please the crowd, Peter slept peacefully the night before his death sentence—resting in unwavering faith while the church prayed fervently. A heavenly angel appeared, struck Peter awake, and his chains fell off effortlessly; doors opened automatically, passing multiple guards and the iron city gate without resistance, proving no captivity—physical or spiritual (like addiction and depression)—is beyond God's limitless power to shatter. Even with imperfect faith, as shown by the praying believers' surprise at Peter's arrival, God honors persistent trust in His word over circumstances. God has miraculously delivered His children from all forms of bondages-physical prisons, addictions, etc…. And He has done so time and time again with the people and things logic leads us to think we need. God has done it with no lawyers, appeals, or rehab programs! God has proven countless times that Jesus remains the ultimate solution for freedom today! God Supplies Every Need: Faith, Abundance, and Peter's Prison Break Dr. Sivan (Avon) Funches Dunham introduces The One Thing That's Needful podcast, emphasizing the new covenant of grace, that faith comes by hearing Christ's word, and that believers receive God's promises by believing. Using Philippians 4:19 as the key text, she recaps lessons on walking by faith rather than sight, avoiding reliance on human reasoning, and trusting God's abundant provision (El Shaddai), illustrated by Hannah receiving more children than she asked for. She explains the importance of testimonies and the body of Christ, citing Revelation 12:11, and focuses on captivity as more than physical prisons. In Acts 12, Peter is imprisoned and facing execution, yet the church prays and Peter rests; God sends an angel, chains fall off, gates open, and Peter is delivered, showing Jesus still sets captives free even when natural solutions are unavailable.

    If You Don't Have It You Don't Need It ( Part 5)

    In this episode of One Thing That's Needful, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches-Dunnom continues the powerful series "If You Don't Have It, You Don't Need It," rooted in the promise of Philippians 4:19—that God supplies every need according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus. This message reminds believers that God's provision is not dependent on human logic, personal resources, or visible circumstances. Instead, faith grows as we sit at the feet of Jesus and hear His Word, allowing God's truth to override the discouragement that can come from what we see in the natural. Drawing from Luke 1, Dr. Funches-Dunnom examines the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, the parents of John the Baptist, who faced what she describes as "triple barrenness"—infertility, advanced age, and seemingly impossible circumstances. Despite their faithful service to God, they encountered trials that logic would say were hopeless. Yet through the angel Gabriel's announcement and the miraculous birth of John, the story reveals a powerful truth: when God makes a promise, He will fulfill it at the appointed time. This episode encourages believers to guard their words, resist the temptation to rely on human reasoning, and trust that God's supernatural power can bring breakthroughs even in the most barren situations.

    If You Don't Have It You Don't Need It ( Part 4)

    In this powerful episode of The One Thing That's Needful Podcast, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches-Dunnom continues the series "If You Don't Have It, You Don't Need It," unpacking the promise found in Philippians 4:19—that God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus. Through scripture and biblical examples, you are reminded that what appears missing in the natural is never a limitation for God. If God has called you, He has already provided everything necessary for your breakthrough. In this installment, the message focuses on deliverance and freedom from bondage. Looking at Isaiah 61:1 and the life of Joseph, you are encouraged to see how God specializes in making a way when there seems to be none. Joseph's journey—from betrayal and slavery to imprisonment and ultimately promotion—reveals that God does not depend on human systems to rescue His people. Even when every logical solution is absent, God's Word alone is enough to bring supernatural deliverance.

    If You Don't Have It You Don't Need It ( Part 3)

    In Part 3 of If You Don't Have It, You Don't Need It, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches Dunnom reminds you of the promise in Philippians 4:19 — that God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Even when circumstances or expert opinions say otherwise, God's Word has the final authority. The call from Jesus remains the same: only believe. You are encouraged to look beyond what you see in the natural. Through the example of Hannah in 1 Samuel, you are reminded that situations may appear barren or impossible, but the size of the challenge does not change the certainty of God's promise. If you are facing lack, delay, or disappointment, this message invites you to anchor yourself in God's truth and walk by faith, trusting that what God has promised, He will fulfill.   Join The One Thing That's Needful community today: awowwomen.com Siohvaughn Funches-Dunnom Spotify Siohvaughn Funches-Dunnom Instagram Siohvaughn Funches-Dunnom Amazon

    If You Don't Have It You Don't Need It ( Part 2)

    In Part 2 of this faith-building series, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches-Dunnom continues unpacking the powerful promise of Philippians 4:19 — "My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." This episode dives deeper into the spiritual battle between faith and logic. While God created us with reasoning and intelligence, He calls believers to walk by faith — not by sight. When challenges arise, especially those that appear "impossible" in the natural, the enemy tempts us to search for natural solutions. But spiritual battles require spiritual answers — and Jesus is always the answer. Using the story of Hannah in First Samuel 1–2,Dr. Funches-Dunnom illustrates how barrenness represents more than infertility — it symbolizes emptiness, lack, and having nothing to work with. Hannah faced deep emotional pain, public provocation, and a closed womb — yet she continued seeking the Lord year after year. Instead of allowing bitterness to separate her from God, she brought her anguish honestly before Him. When Hannah received a prophetic word from Eli and chose to believe God, her countenance changed before her circumstances did. That is the fruit of faith. Her womb had not yet opened, but her spirit had shifted. She went from weeping to worshiping — from grief to expectation. God not only answered Hannah's prayer for one son; He over-answered it. He replaced barrenness with abundance, giving her multiple children. The natural facts never changed — there was still no "cure" — but God proved once again: if you don't have it, you don't need it.

    If You Don't Have It You Don't Need It ( Part 1)

    In this powerful opening to a brand-new series, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches-Dunnom unpacks a bold and liberating truth rooted in Bible Scripture: "If you don't have it, you don't need it." Centered on Philippians 4:19 — "My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus" — this episode challenges believers to shift from logic and natural reasoning to a faith-filled reliance on God's promises. Dr. Funches-Dunnom teaches that although God created us with intellect and reasoning, He calls His children to live by faith — not by sight. Drawing from Genesis, Isaiah 54, and the account of Mary in Luke, she reveals how God consistently proves that barrenness, emptiness, and impossibility are no obstacle to His power. Whether the challenge is physical, emotional, financial, or spiritual, what appears to be lacking is not a limitation for God. Through the examples of creation itself and the miraculous conception of Jesus, listeners are reminded that God does not require human resources to fulfill divine promises. If it is missing, it is not necessary. If it has not manifested, it is not because God forgot — it is because He is still God. This episode invites you to rejoice before you see the result, prepare before you hold the promise, and stand firm in the confidence that God cannot lie.   Join The One Thing That's Needful community today: awowwomen.com Siohvaughn Funches-Dunnom Spotify Siohvaughn Funches-Dunnom Instagram Siohvaughn Funches-Dunnom Amazon In this powerful opening to a brand-new series, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches-Dunnom unpacks a bold and liberating truth rooted in Bible Scripture: "If you don't have it, you don't need it."
