The Implanted Word Podcast

There is a spiritual battle going on all around you, all the time! While you're still here on this Earth, there’s an enemy that's trying to discourage you from walking with the Lord and trying to take you out. Today, Pastor Bill will be reminding you that you need to put on the whole armor of God every day. You don’t battle against flesh and blood, but against principalities and demonic forces, this is why prayer is extremely important. You need to depend on the power of the Holy Spirit in order to be victorious.  

Have you ever experienced a time in your life when you literally thought that there couldn’t be anything worse? At those times we become desperate for something to come in and change our situation, but often times what God is doing is not changing our situation so we can handle it, but changing us so we can handle the situation. In today’s message, Pastor Bill reminds us that God's Sovereignty and Grace have no end. Just when we think that things couldn’t get worse, He reminds us that He is always in control. 

Have you ever found yourself at a crossroads in life? I don’t know about you, but almost 100% of the time I find myself in that situation, the Lord begins doing a drastic thing in my life. Because of this, sometimes as believers, we simply need to sit still, get in His Word, and pray. In today’s message, Pastor Bill reminds us that there is nobody beyond the sovereignty and grace of God. No matter how “good” of a Christian we may think we are, we will always face hard times and need to turn to the Father. 

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you felt as if you deserved something for doing good? I know for me, it’s easy to “expect” God to bless me when I am tithing more than enough, helping people, or anything of that nature. In today’s message, Pastor Bill is going to remind us that actually… we don’t deserve anything, and if we do deserve something - it’s death! You see, the Gospel doesn’t say that because we do this, we get that, but that because HE died, we have LIFE! 

Have you ever found yourself getting angry? Or what about finding yourself greedy… or envious of something? Of course! In fact, these are things that we likely face almost every single day. In today’s message, Pastor Bill is going to be talking about what a life with Jesus looks like. In this, we are reminded that things such as anger, greed, and envy are blockages in our hearts and relationship with Christ; however, if we stay constant in our devotion and dedication to Jesus, He promises us victory! 

Have you ever experienced true joy in your life? I know for some of us, it’s hard to think about the last time we felt that way. Whether it be time with family, new purchases, or even your favorite meal… nothing will ever bring you more joy than Jesus Christ. In today’s message, Pastor Bill is going to be sharing a message with us about our lives with Jesus. You see, when we have Jesus in our hearts, we should live with the hope and joy that is found in Him alone! Jesus is our joy! 

Have you ever considered the countless ways we strive for a slice of paradise here on Earth? In today's message, Pastor Bill points us toward a great wedding feast, the one we’re looking forward to with the return of Christ. Let’s challenge ourselves to reflect on our earthly pursuits and ask ourselves do they lead us closer to or further from our heavenly Bridegroom? Stay tuned to explore how every aspect of our lives, from our marriages to our messes, fits into God's grand plan of redemption, preparing us for our reunion with Him.

Isn’t marriage a special thing? Did you get to participate in the wedding? That joyous day when two worlds collided into one. In today’s message, Pastor Bill shows you the great joy you should be experiencing every day that goes by! You’re one day closer to that day when you’ll be joined to Him for all eternity. The creator of all, the majestic King of Kings and Lords is going to be your husband forever. How lucky you are to be chosen by him, to be His bride. Yes, this is a dressing room for eternity!

If you've been following Christ for a significant period, you may have noticed that the fervor you once had has diminished. In today's message, Pastor Bill addresses this issue, describing it as 'spiritual amnesia.' You may have forgotten what there is to look forward to. Remember, you're getting married to the Lord! When He paid that great price for us, it wasn't because of the immense sorrow that lay before Him; rather, the Bible tells us that for the joy set before Him, He endured the cross. Amen!
