The Inspire Preaching Podcast with Douglas Boyd: Recent Episodes
Douglas Boyd
Welcome to Inspire with Douglas Boyd! We created this podcast to inspire and encourage every believer to reach higher, go farther, dig deeper and always come out victorious through the Lord Jesus Christ!
In the book 1 John in chapter 2, John says something very interesting. He says that we should walk as Jesus walked. Seems like a tall order, but if Christ is in us, we can do it!
Remember, you are His hands on this earth.
There are a lot of voices out there in the world. There is your voice, and sometimes it puts you in the right direction, but sometimes not. There's the voice of the enemy, that is never good. Then, there is the beautiful, still, small voice of the Lord. It will get you across the finish line.
Today we had the joy of having Pastor Ray Evers with us. Have you ever went through a time where you didn't understand the will of God? Where you hurt so bad, and you just couldn't understand? That's the rough side of the mountain. Abraham climbed that mountain and in the end, found that God provides.
Today we have Pat Evers ministering a beautiful heartfelt message, "When Jesus passes by!" This is going to bless your soul!
Do you have an expectancy of the Lord doing great things in your life? Today we talk about expecting the Lord to give us revival.
Making right choices is a good thing, it's a godly thing. Today we look at making choices.
Do you have a mountain in your life? Sickness? Disease? Anxiety? Depression? An addiction? Those are mountains and Jesus said that we can speak to our mountains and those mountains would be defeated.
Do you really believe God wants to use you or do you think you don't have what it takes? Today, you'll learn, just give God what you have, even if you don't think it's much, your talent, voice, whatever it is, give it to the Lord and watch Him change the world around you with it. Jesus is asking you, what's in your hand?
Are you facing a situation where you don't have an answer? Today we look at a woman and a family, who needed answers, and Jesus was right on time, even when it didn't look that way.
We have a special episode today on Inspire. My Pastor, Pastor William Carnley is joining us. Pastor Carnley pastors Grace Crossings Church of God in White Oak Texas. It is an honor to have him with us. Today Pastor Carnley is preaching an inspiring message entitled "Finish Line Faith!"
From a Roman prison cell, Paul said that we should, "Rejoice in the Lord always!" But how do you do that going through pain and suffering or tribulation? To rejoice, is a choice. You must choose to walk in the joy of the Lord and live a life of rejoicing in Him.
