Hello everybody.

When it's cold outside, I've got my mother.

Here's what's coming up on today's experience.

It's Dr.

Dave's.

That's right, Doctor.

Dr.

Dave's devotional diamonds of the day, also known as DDDDDs, where my daily devotions become some of our spiritual reflections.

Sound effects placed throughout the show which have nothing to do with life.

But the Bible teaches in Ecclesiastes 3, 4.

There's a time to laugh, so get ready to laugh.

The review of the goofy news which proves Jesus is coming back sooner than you think.

If you're a Bible believing born again Christian, you're thinking, alright now, now's a good time.

Life lessons for our faith that we could actually use, probably won't if we sit on our blessed assurance humor that will force you to think, why does this guy have a radio show?

Here's the ultimate answer.

Why not?

All right.

Also Bible trivia for fake and yet somehow real cool prizes, your phone calls and more.

Living this life not always easy running in.

Welcome to the David Spoon Experience, local, national and heavenly talk.

My name is Dr.

David Spoon.

I'll be your host for the next 5,400,000 milliseconds.

Get ready for one of the more bizarre experiences on live radio.

Here is the key to the show.

We don't know what we're doing.

We have no idea what's gonna happen and we don't care.

But for the next few minutes, I want to talk faith with you.

So here we go.

We're asking questions about living life as a Christian, that thing there.

And our audience happens to be people who know that prayer works.

People that don't believe prayer works don't get prayers answered very often, do they?

But we believe that prayer does work.

And we've seen hundreds if not thousands of answers to prayers.

So we will just bring this to you in this capacity with people listening in the audience who have a heart for Jesus Christ, who love, love the Lord God Almighty, who want to serve and want to be a blessing.

What can our prayer warriors in our audience pray for you about?

What do you need prayer for?

That is how we open this portion, this discussion of this show.

So we want to keep it really simple.

If you have an opinion, a comment, a thought or a question, please don't let it die of loneliness.

Just reach out and give us a call.

770.

Talking to Jim and Jacob.

That is like heading into the week with great faith and expectation.

Thank you, David.

Happy Monday.

Happy Monday to you.

Gave you a little bit of stall there to give you time to get to the little knobs.

Did that work for you?

That worked out pretty good.

Thank you.

Yeah.

We have Tyler on the line with a prayer request.

Okay, you got it.

We're gonna get to Tyler and we're gonna see what the prayer request is and see what we can do to be a blessing for him.

Let's open that up right now and send him on through.

Go ahead and send Tyler through.

Knock, knock.

This is David.

Hi, is this Tyler?

Are you there?

Hello?

Oh, we gotta try it again.

Tyler, call back.

Call back, brother.

Call back.

Call back.

Call back.

It's not coming through unless you got something on mute.

Call back.

Okay, so let me go back to this.

While we're waiting for Tyler to call us, let me make sure you guys understand this, okay?

There are a couple of reasons to call.

It can be a prayer request.

We're gonna wait for Tyler to call back so we can find out what's going on there and pray for him.

It can be also a praise report.

Did the Lord do something for you?

Wonderfully.

Just blessed in just an awesome fashion.

If you guys remember, on Friday, we had this prayer request or a need that came over for Ann.

And so one of the brothers in our audience reached out and says, hey, if you can give me that information where she's at, I'll get her a phone and send it to her.

So I got home.

This is not a joke.

Got it in my journal.

I got home, and in my closet is a bucket.

It's a bucket where I put kind of the loose papers.

There's probably about 300, 350 papers in there, for real.

And so they're just little ones that are either receipts or little notes from the show or different things.

And I knew that in there was somewhere where Ann's address was out of all that stuff.

So before I even started looking.

Well, that's not true.

I picked up two or three items.

I said, this is going to take forever.

So I said, lord, can you please help me just find that piece of paper that has Ann's address on it?

I put my hand into the bucket, pulled it out, and there it was the very one that I needed to send to that brother so he could help out with that situation.

That is a praise report.

That is a direct answer to prayer.

You might be thinking, does God answer prayer like that?

Yes.

You're thinking, well, does he do those weird things?

I don't know.

Did he have a full fish swallow a coin, which then Peter picked up by fishing, which he then paid for him and Jesus for the temple tax?

I guess so.

So that's a really cool praise report.

And so if you get something the Lord's done, share that.

If you've got a prayer request, like I said, we have Tyler on the line.

We're gonna bring him through.

If you got something you just wanna share, that's on your heart, maybe the Lord's just blessed you, encouraged you, strengthened you.

You're just feeling like one.

Wowza.

You're just getting the sense.

Wowza.

You can share that.

That's completely open to do with one another.

I'll tell you how the different ways to reach us, but first, let's see if we can get Tyler back through this time.

Let's send him through.

Knock, knock.

Is this Tyler?

Hey, baby.

How you doing, Tyler?

Hey.

All right.

Yeah.

Do me a favor.

Make sure your radio's down.

I don't know if it's on or off, but just make sure it's down because there'll be a feedback.

Okay?

Okay, Roger.

Okay, get that.

That's always better.

All right.

My brother, how can we pray for you?

What can we pray for you about?

I'm having issues in my marriage.

You know, we're going through recovery process from addiction to pornography, and it's been like two years of this, and I'm burnt out.

We're digging into deep roots and hurts and wounds in my past, so I'm not doing that anymore.

But there's a lot of things that I've wounded my wife with that she's unable to love me in certain aspects or ways.

All right.

It's really.

It's causing a lot of friction between each other, and it's making me distrust God.

Recently, within, like, the past four months where, like, my attitude has shifted where I don't trust my wife to help with the recovery process for her recovering her love for me.

Gotcha.

So I want prayers for my marriage and prayers for my relationship with God, because I really don't want to submit to my wife anymore and love her like God calls us to by dying on the cross each day.

Well, let's do this.

Let's pray For a miracle.

Because that's what's going to take for both of your hearts.

Here's the big thing about marriage recovery, that process you guys are going through.

And I'm assuming you're kind of going through some of that process with some help, with some church help, you know, in different places.

But what I want to bring up the P here is that it takes an act of God to bring that kind of redemption and that type of restoration.

But we believe that's what God does.

It's not just for her, it's for you.

It's for both of you that you can operate in this spirit of mercy and grace towards one another and rebuild.

So what happens for some people is they have a love, but then when they get hurt, they pull it back.

Because expressing that love and then getting hurt is a harsh thing.

It's a hard thing.

So there's a build back process.

So what we're gonna ask God to do is do that miraculously and give you both the stability and ability to move it forward.

Okay?

Cause that's what you guys wanna be able to do is Paul said this one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind me and pressing forward to the things which are before me.

And if you've made that commitment to make it together, which is essential, then as those steps go through, the enemy is just going to throw everything he can at both of you.

That's what he does.

He's a roaring lion seeking whom he can devour.

He's looking to create this problem and exploit it.

So let's pray for the miraculous power of God to change that.

All right?

Yes, sir.

Let's do it.

Father, we come before you right now and I lift up Tyler and his wife.

And Lord, I don't have to know every nuance.

Here's what I need to know.

You, and you are phenomenal.

You are fabulous.

And there is so much pain that is going on.

And we need, Lord God, each, both Tyler and his wife to be just thoroughly honest, thoroughly truthful, thoroughly accountable to one another and to you.

But in that accountability, in that acknowledgment, is this graciousness that comes from you.

You are merciful, you are kind.

And it is very, very difficult, Lord, for people who have been hurt to bring it back.

We already know this.

We have a hard time forgiving people closest to us.

And we are praying for Tyler and his wife.

We are praying for her that she can have mercy, that she could forgive him, that she would recognize him and that Tyler owning what he's done.

Own it without denial, being straightforward on it, and seeking her grace and her mercy.

But, Lord, only you can give that to her in her heart.

It takes a miracle for that to happen.

And we are asking for that miracle.

And we pray the same thing for Tyler.

In his heart, he's thinking, I should have no problem going through this.

That's not how it goes.

His wife is hurt.

He's hurt.

Now there's a lot of tension, and the enemy is trying to destroy the family.

We are asking you to create a unity together for them by the power of your holy spirit in the foundation of your truth, in the foundation of your word, in the foundation of forgiveness that they could touch in their hearts to one another and build again by grace.

They can't do it on their own.

There's a lot of dark there.

There's a lot of struggle there and a lot of strife.

But you are still a God of redemption.

And instead of them going backwards, Lord, help them to go forward.

Help them to go forward.

Holding on to you first and then to one another.

And we just come against that discouragement, that frustration that just drains them.

Just the enemy screaming on their shoulder.

No, Lord, we ask you to rebuke Satan in this situation and allow them to hear the need for each other, the desire for each other and the woundedness that has transpired and the ownership of those wounding processes that they would just own and move forward.

Lord, we don't know all the circumstances.

I would never step into that.

Here's what I would step into.

You are a miracle working God.

Tyler and his wife need a miracle.

Be that for them.

We pray everybody in this audience makes the commitment to pray for them that we might hear a story of redemption.

It only happens in you, Lord.

We ask this through the power of the Holy Spirit, but we specifically ask this in the name and authority of Jesus Christ, our Lord and savior.

Amen and amen.

Amen.

I appreciate it, brother.

Thank you.

You're welcome, brother.

You gotta keep us posted as best you can.

You're always welcome to text the show or email me or anything like that.

And everybody will be praying for you.

Hey, God bless, y'all.

Thank you.

All right.

God bless, brother.

Bye bye.

All right, so that's Tyler sharing his heart.

And so it almost seems like a pickup from last week.

I don't mean that in a jokey manner.

It's just that there's a lot of pain out there.

There's a lot of hurt out there, and so we need to care for one another.

And bear with one another and help one another.

So in the beginning of this process, let's just understand this so that we can understand fully and wholly and entirely how.

Lord God, Lord, I'm just before you how we need to embrace each other, love each other, Lord.

That's a toughie, man.

I'm just talking to you right now.

I know of that pain.

I know of that my mom, my dad.

To people in my life, just please have mercy.

Please have mercy.

Let everybody own, good, bad or indifferent.

Oh, goodness.

We pray for Tyler and his wife.

We pray for mercy.

We pray for grace.

We pray for forgiveness.

We so believe you're able to.

And, Lord, we're going to bring it to other people.

They have other things they need.

We need you to be their answer.

We are not the answer.

You are be their answer.

We pray.

All right, so for those that have more stuff going on, listen to what I'm going to say because we have much more to cover.

You can also text.

So some people are like, yeah, I don't want to do that on the phone.

I got it.

Or you can send an email if you're much more comfortable doing that.

Do that.

Davidemustincreased.org we have people that send emails and they either can be public or private, whatever you want.

Davidemustincrease.org so we have a lot of things going on.

We are going to have some other prayer.

We have.

El's daughter's going through a tough time.

She's trying to get into an apartment and something kind of got messed up there.

We also know that Robert of Rosalind and Robert, he's not feeling good.

And then I have some sad news.

I don't want to give you all the details, but Roger again and his wonderful wife have had a personal tragedy take place.

Not to each of them directly, but a personal tragedy.

And we want to pray for comfort along those lines.

So we're going to be doing that.

We're going to get into that in just a little bit.

But what I want you to hear is what people are saying.

There's a lot of hurt and the enemy.

I mean, I'm reading this today in First Peter, chapter five, verse eight and nine.

And it's just the enemy.

He's like a lion.

He's on the hunt.

He's on the prowl.

And he's looking for places to spread destruction.

That's why we need to stay close to the Lord.

You know, in James 4.

7, it says, Submit yourself, therefore to God.

Resist the devil and he will flee.

How you resist Satan is you submit yourself, therefore, to God.

If you're surrendered to God, if you place yourself under God's authority, if you put yourself in that spot where you yield to the Lord, then more of the Lord is working in you and through you, and he's doing more to you.

And the enemy has less room.

So even if he's prowling, if you're submitted to the Lord, he doesn't have that space.

Remember what Jesus said.

The enemy of the prince of the darkness of this world is coming.

He has nothing in me.

Jesus said, that means that he had no point of entry.

He had no attack point.

Jesus had no sin.

The devil could not take advantage.

And when we leave areas open for sin, the enemy takes advantage.

And he's hunting.

That's why Peter describes him as a lion who's on the prowl.

That means he's hunting.

And he's hunting for people that have openings to sin so he can exploit it and attack it.

Just what Jesus said, he has nothing in me.

No point of entry, no point of attack.

We need to make sure that we're staying in that very same place, each one of us.

That's why we need to stay so close to the Lord.

That's why more of God is the solution.

Because it not only gives us a favorable life here until he comes, it gives us protection against the enemy.

I mean, just think of that.

Think of that.

And these are things that are going on in your life.

You need help.

I need help.

We all need help.

Robert of Robert and Rosalind.

He's not feeling good.

He's not doing good.

He had to go to the ER yesterday for his stomach.

They couldn't nail down anything specific, but the truth of the matter is that he just needs prayer and coverage.

Guess what?

Rosalind's doing this on her own.

She needs prayer.

Right?

We prayed for Nancy.

Jill, Nancy's daughter.

She got through her surgery.

She's back home.

She needs prayer.

Right.

Our friend, our dear brother Roger again had a tragedy take place in his family.

I'm not at liberty to share.

He needs prayer.

Al's daughter needs prayer.

Roger again needs.

Robert needs prayer.

Jill needs prayer.

Let's pray.

Do me a favor instead of just looking to be entertained, seriously, join in this struggle.

Well, I want you to pray with me for these people.

Do that, please.

Let's pray more.

Father, we come before you right now, and first and foremost, we just.

We do want to thank you that Jill got through her surgery and she's home, but she still needs prayer.

She still needs recovery.

She still needs the power of your grace.

And we pray you give that to Nancy and her husband in their home.

And not just for them, Lord, but we're also asking, Lord God, that you would help Robert and Rosalind, because not knowing what you're going through and being in excruciating pain is not a good thing.

And there's a lot of fear that the enemy throws at us and a lot of doubt that we entertain ourselves.

Please help in that situation.

Let it be clear what Robert's dealing with so that they can have a point of attack and a strategy.

And, Lord, at the same time, we lift up Al's daughter, who's.

You know, it's difficult for Al.

He's got his daughter.

She's ready to move in, Lord.

And then something came up, and bam.

It just changes everything in her life.

And then she's more desperate and despondent, and now Al is having to carry that burden.

We're asking you to give them favor and grace so that this situation can be resolved, that they can keep moving forward.

We lift up our brother Roger again, who suffered a tragedy the other day, and we ask you to comfort his heart.

We ask you to protect him and his wife.

We ask you to comfort them because you're a God of comfort.

And without that, and without you, there is no hope.

So help these people.

And, Lord, I know we got so many other people in the audience, hundreds, if not thousands that are really hurting.

God, in your mercy, help your people, redeem your people, heal your people, encourage your people, love your people.

We're your kids, and we need your help, dad.

And that's just the bottom line.

Please help us.

That's what we pray, and we trust you for it.

In Jesus name, amen and amen once again.

Not a show that we thought was going to happen this way never is.

That's fine.

We want to do what the Lord wants.

We can.

I do want to give props to Aunt Deb.

She was a phenomenal board member for me on Friday, so I thought that was a very good thing, that she gave me some really strong Words of encouragement.

Really appreciate that, Deb.

And now, because we're already at 52, 152, I'm going to teach this little bit.

And then we're just going to exit and that's how it's going to go.

So I don't know what else to tell you.

Here we go.

We are in Titus.

For those who do not know, we are in Titus.

And we are in Titus.

And we're in chapter two.

And we're in verse 11.

Listen to this verse.

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, instructing us to deny godlessness and worldly lusts and to live in a sensible, righteous and godly way in this present age.

Let's just understand what this is.

The apostle is making a case that the grace of God has appeared and that grace of God has appeared through Jesus Christ.

Do you understand?

That manifestation of God's grace is in Jesus Christ and that salvation has appeared to everybody.

The reason this is significant is that the apostle is stating that everybody can be saved through the redeeming work of Jesus Christ.

This is not a class salvation.

This is not a race salvation.

This is not a financial salvation.

This is not an authority and power salvation.

This is a we are the servants of one another salvation because Jesus was a servant for us.

Let me repeat that.

It doesn't mean the Lord won't bless you in the things you do.

Nobody's saying that.

But what we are saying is we are servants of one another.

And that's part of our salvation because Jesus was a servant for us.

I want you to understand something though.

The grace of God has appeared to all people, all people will not be saved.

Some people will reject.

Some people will say no.

If you're one of those people that hasn't said yes.

If you're one of those people that haven't repented, acknowledged, surrendered and yielded.

Your time is getting tight.

Don't be that person.

Get saved.

Let the forgiveness of Jesus Christ cover your life.

He's wanting to forgive you.

Why are you stubborn?

Why are you pulling back?

Don't do that.

And then the apostle tells us.

He reminds us we're instructed to deny godlessness.

A lot of godlessness in this world.

I don't know if you guys have noticed that.

It's just a ton of it.

Worldly lust.

Anything that separates us from the Lord is something we need to overcome.

Come over it, get over it, and live in a sensible, righteous way in this present age.

This means that every age, by the way, has its own darkness.

Did you know that they had darkness back in the time when Paul was writing to Titus?

Well, you know what?

We have darkness now in our time.

But regardless of the demonic influences all around us, we are enabled by the power of the Holy Spirit to live lives that honor Jesus.

So excuses are getting thin.

Christians can't go, well, you know, I just, just didn't, you know, just couldn't overcome it.

It's like, really, the Holy Spirit lives inside of you.

You couldn't overcome it.

Maybe it should be less of your flesh and more of the Spirit.

That might be a good approach.

Maybe it just needs to be more prayer, more Bible, more fellowship, more counsel, more wisdom, more everything in Christ.

So the kingdom of God is at the forefront of all things.

This is what I want you to get.

The salvation of God is appearing to all of us and has appeared to all of us.

And many of us have said, yes, yes, please, yes.

That salvation encompasses multiple areas.

It's not just your eternity that is on the line, though that would be the priority.

It is also your actual life here and now that is on the line.

Either do it in partnership with God or do it under the influence of the world and Satan.

The results of the world and Satan are death and destruction.

The results from God are grace, peace and mercy.

Which do we want?

Okay.

All right, we're going to take our break and then come back.

You're listening to the David Spoon Experience right here on Kaam 770, the truth station here in Texas.

Short break, we'll be back.

Don't go anywhere.

What is the David Spoon Experience?

And God's only like, there's no room there.

It's like, well, no, no, no.

I can not vote for either kingdom.

Well, let me get this straight.

You're not voting for the kingdom of God, therefore you're also trying to be a supporter of the kingdom of darkness.

How does that work?

That doesn't work.

And in lieu of that, I had a discussion with my son.

We were talking about preparation and being ready.

Because you never know when the Lord.

You don't know when that trumpet's going to blow for you.

You don't know at that moment where God's going to go ding dong, time's up.

And say.

I said, you always got to be ready.

He said, well, you can't always be ready.

It's like, no, you always got to be ready.

Matthew, chapter 24, verse 42.

Be ready.

Always be ready.

For you do not know the day that the Lord will come.

And that's not just from an eschatological point of view for life.

That's for you individually.

You got to be ready and watchful and aware because this is kingdom stuff.

And there's a kingdom being built glorify God and there's all the opposing kingdoms.

And it's a pretty straightforward question, which kingdom are you trying to support?

That's the question.

And if you say, well, I'm not supporting any kingdom, then you are opposed to the kingdom of God because you are either helping advance his kingdom or you're in opposition.

And that's where Jesus split the line.

And you think, well, that doesn't seem fair.

We have a great word around this show that we like to use every once in a while, but with tons of love.

Tough.

It's not whether you think it's fair or not, you know.

Well, I don't think God, a God of love, would do it this way or this way.

Too bad.

What you think you're not God?

That's not up to you.

Well, that's just what the Bible says.

Let me get this straight.

So you believe that God can create the universe, but he can't write a book?

Boy, that argument's going to get lost every single time.

So my whole point in bringing this up is it's not a contradiction at all.

You're either four in Luke 9, 49 and 50, you're either for the kingdom, advancing the kingdom, driving out demons in the name of Jesus Christ, trying to make declaration for the truth of God, or you're against the kingdom.

Whether you are verbally, physically against it, or whether you are verbally and physically doing nothing.

There is no neutral.

You are either a kingdom advancer or you are against the kingdom.

And what is really hard, Everybody ready for your noodle to get baked?

Here is the decisions that we make advance kingdoms.

Do we consider our decisions before we make these decisions?

Do we consider what kingdom we're impacting?

Wow, isn't that tough?

The David Spoon experience.
