“The Kingdom of Heaven is at Hand” (Matt. 4:17)
Apostle Bernard Whaley | Faith in Action Kingdom Ministries

“Everything that happens, happens for a reason. All through scripture, we find that whenever God is concerned about His people, He gets our attention through many different ways.” Today, Apostle Bernard Whaley draws a parallel between the hard times the world experienced when God caused the great flood in Genesis and that Israel experienced in the desert to illustrate how God disciplines His people “looking for that spirit of repentance in them.” (Matt. 4:17) Listen as Apostle Whaley explains how God is “…a merciful God. He’s a longsuffering God. But at some point in time, He has to chastise those whom He loves… the chastisement is to wake them up to who they really are.”
