David Spoon takes listeners on a thought-provoking journey through the complexities of the Christian faith, delving into themes of God's unwavering love and the struggles many face in their spiritual lives. He opens the show with a lighthearted tone, inviting listeners to join him on this metaphorical bus ride, where he promises wild and wonderful discussions.

The core message revolves around the idea that God's love is everlasting and that many believers often feel disconnected from that love, particularly as they grapple with their past and present shortcomings. Spoon emphasizes that despite feelings of inadequacy or frustration in one's faith journey, God's love remains constant and unchanging. This reassurance is crucial, especially for those who may feel they have let God down after accepting Christ.

Throughout the episode, Spoon references a recent uplifting experience at Eagle Point Church, where he was encouraged to revisit the foundational teachings of God's love. He discusses how believers often struggle with the dichotomy of receiving unconditional forgiveness for past sins while feeling pressured to live up to certain expectations afterward.

He argues that this can lead to a sense of spiritual frustration, as individuals may feel they are not living up to God's grace. This insight serves as a reminder that the Christian journey is not about perfection but about the continual experience of God's love, which is made manifest through the Holy Spirit.

Takeaways:

• David Spoon emphasizes the importance of relying on God's everlasting love throughout our lives.
• He discusses how feelings should not dictate our faith or relationship with God.
• The enemy often tries to deceive us into thinking God's love is conditional.
• David encourages listeners to share their experiences and prayer requests during the show.

Enough for something completely different.

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

It's wild and wonderful.

What's gonna happen?

We have no idea.

Hey, let's sit back and enjoy the ride.

Can I get a wowzer bowser Wednesday because God is in charge of this crazy bus culture.

The christian journey first four years ago I taught the material I'm going to present today on the radio show here in Texas.

But after I had this absolutely wonderful visit at Eagle Point Church in Denton, Texas and was listening to Pastor Robert Norris who preached a phenomenal message, I have this encouragement to bring it back to the forefront of our thoughts.

So I will give a shout out to Pastor Robert Norris and Eagle Point Church in Denton for sharing it and getting my brain and my heart and my spirit going in this direction.

Next, as we grow up in the Lord and as we grow in the Lord, we discover that there are areas in our lives that need more work than we thought.

While we freely receive the forgiveness of God for everything we did living in the BC days, which stands for before Christ, once we become christians, we tend to take a different point of view on how we are.

And some of us feel a little frustrated because we feel like we're letting God down.

And finally, for too many of us, it's because we don't have that same sense that the love of God is with us like it was in the beginning of the journey.

We've talked about this multiple times and the solution is so much simpler than we think.

The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by God himself, given through Jesus Christ and manifested in our being through the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

So let's do this weird thing.

Let's get on board with God's plan for walking in and with his continual love.

David Spoon's life has been an experience.

While growing up in a jewish family, he made a wrong turn towards drug abuse.

Then David Spoon found Jesus Christ and his life completely changed.

The more he studied the gospel, the more he wanted to share his experiences with others.

After 35 years of ministry, David discovered a new path of service.

He joined KAAM and this radio program began.

You're about to hear the David Spoon experience.

Welcome to the David Spoon experience.

Local, national and heavenly talk.

Here's what else we're looking at during the show.

Lessons for surviving living and prevailing politics, entertainment and current events, personal revelations, spiritual observations, my life's insanities and oy vey, so much more.

Now remember, it's not professional radio and so we're back on track on a Wednesday.

So we will ask the forerunner of professional radio, our very own Jammin Jacob.

Jammin Jacob as the forerunner of professional radio is the David Spoon experience.

Professional radio.

No, it is not.

David.

There you go.

You've heard it from the forerunner.

And we're not talking about a car.

It's Jim and Jacob, right?

Okay.

That's a new one.

You like that one?

I do like that one.

That one's good.

Here's the bottom line.

It's just radio.

And so we want to know what you think.

So if you have something you want to share, you can email us.

Okay?

I mean, that'll help.

Right?

You got that?

That's not hard.

If you're in Denver, it's 104.

If you're in Detroit, it's 304.

And here's the bottom line.

You can send an email David emustincrease.org dot.

That's davidmusincrease.org dot.

Yeah.

Talking to Jammin Jacob is like waking up and feeling like you got a great night's sleep.

Thank you, David.

Happy Wednesday.

And I did get a great night's sleep.

Well, there you go.

See that?

Isn't that nice when you got a great night's sleep?

It's not, of course, because you were reflecting on the Dallas win.

I just wonder if it's because you're reflecting on the future games.

We'll see how that goes as we will discuss that probably tomorrow.

Yes.

Yes.

All right, folks, here it is in a nutshell.

Why would you reach out to us?

Why would you call us?

Why would you text us?

Why would you email us?

Because we love praise reports.

Because we love to pray for one another.

So, praise reports, prayer requests.

We also like it when people share just things going on in their lives.

If the Lord's put a really intense scripture and just really operating in your life and you want to share it, maybe it'll bless somebody else go for it.

We think stuff like that's phenomenal.

We love it when you, when you're able to do stuff like that.

Additionally, we also have a very strong commitment to Bible trivia because having Bible trivia going on in our lives gives us the movement of the word of God being in our hearts and in our minds.

And if God created the universe and you believe that, you better believe he can write a book.

And your God better be bigger than denominational or denominational than translational differences.

And in fact, your God should also be bigger than denominational differences.

That's besides the point.

Here's your trivia question, a little more interesting.

It's more of the history elements.

In what Book of the Bible do we find the words every man did that which was right in his own eyes?

I will tell you that this is after the Torah.

In what book of the Bible do we find and every man did what was right in his own eyes.

What book of the Old Testament is that in?

It is somewhere between.

Well, I'll just say it's before the major and minor prophets and it is after the Torah.

So it's after Deuteronomy and it's before Isaiah.

What book of the Bible do we find?

Every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

And everything that's right in your own eyes.

Super duper.

But all of that is just sin manifesting itself in selfishness.

Just in case people want to know.

So what book of the Bible do we find?

The words every man did that which was right in his own eyes between deuteronomy and isaiah.

That should give you some kind of like, ooh, I get that.

I get that.

And maybe more towards the leaning of the beginning.

We do have somebody that is ready to answer the trivia question, so we are going to go into that because I have a very long teaching that's coming up, so let's go ahead and do that.

Let's send them on through.

Knock knock.

This is David.

Who am I talking to?

Hi, David, this is Fred.

How you doing today?

I'm doing wonderful, Fred.

How are you today?

I'm doing fine, sir.

All right.

I'm glad, glad, glad to hear that, my brother.

This is a pretty good question.

A lot of people are, like, going, hmm, hmm.

So I'm hoping you'll track it down.

In what book of the Bible do we find the words?

Every man did that which was right in his own eyes, David, because of.

Political correctness and the hardness of men's heart, we're really in that type of society now.

But that scripture's found in judges.

That is correct.

Amanda.

Sir, you are right.

And it's actually found twice, which is really fascinating.

And you're right.

This is exactly what is going on in society today, which ought to tell people it ain't that different.

It just ain't that different.

It's like same thing everybody needs, like the saint.

It's like, this is not good.

People doing things which are right in your own eyes, not the right way.

Right.

When the Book of Isaiah five, it talks about how, you know, two people calling good evil and evil good.

And all those sorts of things are going on now, and it's a sign that Jesus is on his way back.

That's right.

You know, it's getting closer and closer because this kind of thing and the good for evil, evil for good is getting worse.

Everything is progressingly going in one direction.

It's like, yikes, that's not good.

Excellent job, my brother.

God bless you.

Hang up and listen.

All right, my brother.

Thank you.

All right.

All right.

What we're going to do is we're going to jump into the word.

We're going to do our DNA after.

So I'm just telling everybody, it's like.

You're not forgetting DNA, are you?

No, we'll get into DNA.

We'll just do it in the next segment.

In the meantime, I want to get to this.

And this is just phenomenal, phenomenal stuff.

Jeremiah, chapter 31, verse three, for those that are taking notes.

Jeremiah 31 three.

The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying, I have loved you with an everlasting love.

I have drawn you with an unfailing kindness.

Wow.

Let's talk about that.

The Lord has appeared to us in the past, saying, I have loved you with an everlasting love.

Many of us remember, not everybody, but many do.

The phenomenal moments that we came to a recognition that God loves us so much that he sent his only begotten son to die for us.

In fact, John 316, for God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes, current present tense, whoever believes in him, should not perish, but have eternal life.

There is so much love that God has for the world.

He's demonstrating that love by giving his son Jesus Christ to whoever believes should not perish but have eternal life.

When that message first came to many of us, it was good news.

Somebody.

Somebody loves me.

How powerful is that for you to understand?

Not that your parents didn't try to love you unless they were just genuinely lousy parents and those exist, but how?

And not just because you're friends.

They love you.

But, you know, that's kind of fickle.

It depends on, you know, what you have to give for them or what the I.

What the popular moment is of the day.

And all that stuff, all of that stuff.

When you found out that God loves you so much that he sacrificed for you even when you weren't connected in your own mind, it made a statement to you and I that says, I am loved.

And that power, that acknowledgement, that acceptance through Jesus christ transforms us when we say yes and amen, there is a new us, a born again us that takes place.

And yes, it's an amazing element, because all of a sudden, and if you remember this, you are, all of a sudden, you're aware.

Like, your awareness button just got turned on.

It's been turned off your entire life.

Somebody pushed the awareness button, and you're like, ding, ding, ding.

Wait a second.

And then you find out, wow, you mean the bible really has cool things to say.

And you start reading it, and you're like, oh, who knew this was in there, besides all the millions of people who read it before you?

Oh, it's so amazing.

It speaks.

And all of a sudden, you, who are not in anything spiritual, have been taken and placed by the power of the Holy Spirit into the spiritual realm.

And you're like, whoa.

But I want you to catch something that comes out of this Jeremiah text that is connected to it.

The Lord appeared to us in the past saying, I have loved you with an everlasting love.

Listen to me.

That love that God has for you, that God had for you, that God will have for you.

It's an everlasting love.

Hey, listen to this.

That moment that you were super glad that you were loved hasn't disappeared from God's side.

In fact, the rest of the verse says, I have drawn you with an unfailing kindness.

The Lord has pulled you towards him based on that everlasting love, and he's drawn you in by that unfailing kindness, and he has made his feelings known to you.

He loves you yes.

At the moment, we're like, yes, that is awesome.

But then this weird thing happens.

We keep going and we think, wow, this BC stuff, man.

All the stuff I did before Jesus.

Oh, thank you, Lord, for saving me, for delivering me from my sins, from.

From setting me free, and from forgiving me.

And what we think is that the record has been set clean.

The slate has been wiped.

We're done.

It's clear.

And then we start tagging onto the slate, the dumb things that we do, and we think we're erasing or ruining this wonderful love that God has shown us by failing.

But what we're failing in is to hear him in the first place and to keep hearing him in the now and to never stop hearing him in the tomorrow.

I have loved you, God says with an everlasting love.

The love of God for you has never once even a little bit diminished.

It is the same love.

Then, now.

And tomorrow when we come back, we're going to examine how the Lord has made that clear.

In the meantime, we'll take our break now.

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

Short break.

We'll be back.

Don't go anywhere.

What the whole teaching has to do with is the dissatisfaction that people have who are worldly when the divine is involved.

I want you to hear that line.

That's the big line.

That's the big connector between all of this.

The worldly are never satisfied if divinity is involved.

So the example Jesus says is, we played the flute for you, right?

And the flute.

Woo the flute.

Yay.

Happy sounds, right?

And the people are like, no.

It's like, okay, well, we sang a dirge for you, right?

What you sing at a funeral, right?

And the people were like, no.

And then John the Baptist, he says, comes, and John the Baptist is as straight as you can get.

We would call him, you know, a massive teetotaler might be fair enough to say.

And he says he does.

He's not eating bread, he's not drinking any wine.

And you people, the way you respond, you go, he's got a demon.

And then Jesus, he says, I come, son of man comes.

I'm eating and drinking.

And then what do the people do?

They extreme it out.

And they say he's a glutton because he's eating.

Not eating more than he should, just eating.

And he's a drunkard because he had wine.

You see, this is the thing.

The thing is that the world and the worldly are never satisfied.

That's why I said that connection to the song.

And don't get mad at me that I used a Rolling Stone song.

It's not my fault they wrote a song called I can't get no satisfaction.

This is the Lord trying to reach people at different levels, and people keep going, no, no, no.

And it's nonstop and there's just no satisfying them.

And even the one thing that I would say, and I've said this before in the beginning of this, of this broadcast, and I don't really care about your political affiliations, but when people get going in a certain direction, you can't move them one way or another.

And when the media was all over Donald Trump, it's fair to say that had he helped cure cancer with research, they would have accused Donald Trump of putting people out of business who were in the cancer business.

It's just like, that's exactly what they would have done.

Everybody knows that.

And it's because that's how the mentality is.

If somebody comes along and does something that's good and it's not appreciative to the world or they don't like it, they will rip it to shreds.

You can't play the flute.

You can't sing a dirge.

You can't be Johnny the Baptist and you can't be Jesus Christ, because none of those things satisfy.

We want exactly what we want, which, by the way, they don't even know what they want.

That's the irony.

It's God that's giving the opportunity for people to get the answers.

And people are so inwardly confused because of Satan, they wouldn't know, know a good thing if it split them in the eyeballs.

That's the problem.

The David Spoon experience.

And if you can't shout sight, you'll have to face a penalty.

Welcome back to the David Spoon experience.

Thank you for joining us here at KAAM 770 the truth station here in Texas.

That's K Man 770 the truth station here in Texas.

Wait till you see how that very last line in that Phil is going to soar us into the next section.

Here's your trivia question.

By the way, who was called a friend of God?

James, chapter two, verse 23.

Who was called a friend of God?

Blank.

Was called God's friend.

Who is that your answer?

James, chapter two, verse 23.

If you think you know the answer.

You can send an email David at he must increase.com who was called God's friend.

Your answer is in James chapter two and verse 23.

In the meantime, we'll do our DNA.

D stands for draw closer to the Lord daily.

Every day that ends in y, spend some time with a guy in the sky.

Got it.

It's not even coming.

Okay, got that right.

D draw closer to the Lord daily.

That's part of our DNA.

And never be ashamed of Jesus or his words.

Luke 926 if you're ashamed of me and my words, I'll be ashamed of you when I come in glory with the Father.

Never be ashamed of what Jesus had to say, regardless of how the world tries to make you feel.

That don't matter.

What matters is simply that you are not ashamed of your savior and what he has to say.

I'll keep it as simple as possible.

If God created the universe and you believe that, you have to go out on that huge ledge that he can also write a book.

There is nothing for you to be ashamed of, whether people like it or not.

Who cares?

They don't have a heaven to put you in.

What do you care?

D draw closer to the Lord daily and never be ashamed of Jesus or his words.

A always be ready.

To serve.

Serve.

Always be ready to serve.

Are you gonna do everything perfect?

No, but are you ready that you can be ready?

You can be like, okie dokie.

Let me say this really nice.

Ready.

You wake up and you say to the Lord, I don't know what today holds.

I know you hold today.

Here I am, right?

That's it.

Well, that's, that must have taken 5 seconds.

Be responsive to the Lord.

Be in tune.

Don't be so caught up.

We were talking about this earlier in the show.

Don't be so caught up in your list today that you cannot be used by the Lord.

Today you want to be ready to serve, to be a vessel for God, a billboard for the Lord to other people and in other situations.

You want to be there, to be connected to him on a every moment basis as much as possible.

Yes, I know you're not going to do that, as perfect as it can should be, but you can start by saying, here I am.

That's how you start.

D draw closer to the Lord daily.

N never be ashamed of Jesus or his words.

A always be ready to serve.

That is our DNA.

Who was called God's friend?

Your answer is in James, chapter two, verse 23.

And we even consider, and many people do in the beginning of their Christianity as the beginning of any relationship, friendship or otherwise.

Kind of a honeymoon phase.

You first make a friend.

It's like everything about that friend is great.

When you first meet somebody you're going to date or be with, everything about that person's great.

Oh, it's all great and everything's great.

But in the kingdom of God, we go through that honeymoon phase and we honeymoon phase and then we forget that the enemy is no dummy.

Yes, he's an enemy, but he's not dumb.

He's been working on people since the very beginning.

In the garden and second corinthians eleven three says this.

I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

Now, we do have somebody that's going to answer the trivia question and we're going to give them that chance.

And then we're going to fire right back into this.

Uh oh.

An enemy is trying to deceive Eve and did so.

And the concern in scripture is that we too will be deceived.

That's a very powerful statement.

But in the meantime, let's get back to the trivia question.

Let's send the person through.

Knock knock.

This is David.

Who am I talking to?

Hi, David.

This is Nancy.

Hi, Nancy.

How are you?

I've been struggling a little bit with my health, but, you know, we keep going.

We keep, and by we, I mean the Lord and I keep going.

Gotcha.

Well, we will definitely be praying for you in the health.

Is there anything you want to share on that specific or you want to just keep it before the Lord?

Well, it's just I had that.

I've had a chronic issue that's popped up again and then we have the allergies and something I picked up in California.

So that's all just kind of been a perfect storm.

I'm not going to comment to the picked it up in California line because it's just too easy to use.

But I.

No, no, my.

Okay.

My great niece started playing the flute and I said, oh, play the flute for me.

And she played it and then I played it after her, and it had a beautiful tone.

I was so excited.

And then that night, she came down to my dad's, and she said, I have a sore throat, and kind of went downhill from there.

Well, at least it wasn't something you picked up from the government there.

I mean, that's good.

Yeah.

Right?

Right?

Yeah, I laid low.

I was under the radar out there, so.

Yeah, that's hilarious.

All right, let's do.

Let's do the trivia question, and then we'll pray over you.

How about that?

Okay.

I've already forgotten what it was.

All right, here's the.

Here's the question.

Who was called the friend of God?

Abraham.

That is correct.

Am I know.

I mean, what a guy.

I mean, he doesn't have a Bible.

He's just believing God, and it's like, wow.

I want to have that level of faith, that level of relationship with the Lord.

That's amazing.

And so I just love that.

And he called him out of the ur, the Chaldeans, and he didn't even know who he was.

Yeah, it's so.

It's such a great thing.

And if you think about this, it's like, all right, we're gonna go here.

He's like, okay.

Okay.

Yeah, I love it.

All right.

That is an excellent, excellent job.

So props for you on that.

And let me pray over you on your health.

Okay?

Okay.

Thank you.

Let's pray.

Father, we come before you.

We love our sister Nancy.

We are asking in the name of Jesus Christ, the Lord and savior of us all, and that by his stripes, of course, we are healed.

We know that in one Peter 224, and that you are Jehovah Rapha.

And we know that because your word teaches us that.

We are asking.

And we are asking you, as the healer, as the comforter, that by the power of the Holy Spirit, you would move upon Anthony on her body.

And lord number one, take out that ridiculous cold sore throat thing.

That's goofy.

Number two, give her relief from allergies.

But most importantly, lord number three, move by your power on this chronic issue she's struggling with, which is no match for you.

And it only takes a moment to make this miracle.

And we ask you to bring a miracle into her body, into her life.

And in the name of Jesus, let her find freedom from this chronic illness so that she can put the praises on her lips over this enemy that's been defeated by you, for her, because you love her.

And we just ask you to pour it out upon her.

And fill her heart full of joy and comfort.

And we pray for the testimony for this to come soon.

And we pray it in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and savior.

Amen.

And amen.

Amen.

Amen.

Keep me posted.

We'll keep praying for you.

One more little, little thing.

My daughter, my younger daughter Jill is at the doctor's right now.

Her dad is with her, and they're discussing the surgery upcoming, abdominal surgery that she is going to have.

All right?

So I just ask that, you know, the doctors know what they're doing and that, of course, she learned to call the Lord her savior.

I don't even know how to say it, but you know, that she'd come to know the Lord God as her savior.

Amen.

So here's what I want the audience to do.

You're going to be praying for Jill, and you're going to be praying this.

That she calls upon the name of the Lord, of course, that there's health in the surgery and there's greatness and deliverance, but I want the audience to pray that Jill will call upon the name of the Lord as she faces the reality that life without a savior has got a lot of scary stuff in it.

And so we just.

Everybody knows.

Please take that on.

Take that as part of your being an October buddy.

And pray for Jill and pray for Nancy.

Pray for the situation to be resolved, but that Jill will call upon the name of the Lord.

Okay.

That's everybody.

Everybody's been charged with that.

Okay.

All right.

And you keep me posted, and I'll pray for her on the way home.

Okay?

Yes.

Thank you.

All right.

God bless you.

Okay.

You, too.

Okay, bye bye.

All right.

Great call from Nancy.

I really mean that, folks.

I mean, I'm gonna pray other way home.

I want you guys to pray for.

I want you to share in that prayer time.

I want us to be connected.

Praying for Jill.

The surgery is really important because it's taking place right now, so we should pray for right now.

Lord, give those doctors wisdom and insight in the name of Jesus.

But we all pray that Jill would call upon your name and find you as her savior and lord.

In Jesus name.

Amen.

So I want everybody to pray that more than once in the next couple of days.

Just lifting her up before the Lord.

Okay.

Now, having said that, I don't see that we're going to make the exit, so you might as well just buckle in, because I just don't see that happening.

Here we go.

What I want to talk about going back to this is understanding this love that God has for us, and that we also have this enemy that just doesn't like that.

Did you know that Satan doesn't like the good news?

In fact, what Satan likes is bad news all the time, which then explains the media.

But here we go.

Second Corinthians, eleven three.

I'm afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from the sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

What the concern is, as Paul is writing under the verbal plenary process from the Holy Spirit, which means the Holy Spirit is communicating the message.

But Paul is not losing who he is, is that the enemy is no dummy.

And what the enemy does to you and I, and he does it.

And yes, I've taught it before, and yes, I'll teach it again.

And just like I said, even until the day is over, the enemy whispers, now that God knows you, does he really love you the same way?

Because what happens is, once you get saved, you think, ah, man, I'm gonna be.

I'm perfect.

You are positionally perfect.

But practically, you're finding out there's still a lot of rubbish in there.

But what we fail to remember is the truth.

And it takes the truth to defeat a lie.

You don't, you don't defeat a lie with other lies.

You only defeat a lie with the truth.

And the truth is that God is omniscient.

He knew everything about you.

He knew every nuance about you before you even existed.

And he chose you and poured himself out upon you.

And remember that verse?

The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying, I have loved you with an everlasting love.

The love of God wasn't up until a point, the love of God is everlasting, and the enemy is sitting there going, no, no, it's, no, it's not everlasting because you blew it.

You've done this.

You're stupid.

Blah, blah, blah.

You're terrible.

And God's like, I already told you, I love you.

And the enemy's in there whispering, really?

Really?

Did God say, wait, where have we heard that before?

In the garden?

Yea, hath God said, I mean, if that worked the first time to mess up humanity, what do you think how it's going to work on christians?

And so he's not a dummy in that sense.

He's whispering that thing.

And don't think that, oh, well, I do fail in that, and it must mean that I'm spiritually inept.

I just want to point out to you, that spiritual giants have also sidestepped, maintaining the joy of that salvation, the height of that love, the power of that love.

Even David in psalm 50 112 said, restore to me the joy of my salvation.

So he's losing it.

He's fighting it.

He's fighting to keep it.

He's trying to keep it.

Lord, keep it within me.

Restore it to me.

Give it to me.

I want it.

I want it.

But the enemy is not a dummy.

And I've said it before, and I'm saying it for a reason.

And this is the reason why.

Because there is a substantial difference between what?

Faith and feelings.

And this is where christians lose it right here.

It's not that christians shouldn't have feelings.

That's dumb.

It's that those feelings cannot be the engine that you exist by.

Did you ever.

I just.

I just want to make you really understand this.

Did you ever consider that the love of God that you have accepted by faith, but then you wake up and you hear what's going on, or you hear potential news, and the fear of the moment kind of seizes the air.

I know you know exactly what I'm talking about, that the fear seizes the atmosphere.

When you'll hear something about somebody, you're just like, oh.

And then all of a sudden, it's like the clouds are filled with fear, and it's raining.

Fear drops, not teardrops.

Fear drops.

And you're like, oh.

Oh.

And what does fear do?

It incapacitates.

It increases doubt.

It torments everybody.

Following me.

This is really important stuff.

I know some of you are getting to the heart of this.

Listen.

Jeremiah 17 nine says, the heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure.

Who can understand it?

You see, the heart generates in that connects to that fear process.

It kind of resonates and connects to it, you know, the darkness of a heart, which is why we need to have a clean heart and a renewed spirit.

And how we know this is true, I'll just give you the example.

So to really make it simple is simply this.

Ready?

You know what I'm going to say?

Doesn't matter.

You should still think of the truth of it.

Go to Taco Bell, eat 18 tacos and 36 chalupas and 17 burritos, and tell me how you feel.

Do you feel the love of God?

No.

Do you feel like everything's gonna be okay?

No.

You don't feel like you can get to a hospital fast enough?

Is the love of God removed from you because you can't feel it?

No.

The truth is, the love of God hasn't gone anywhere.

It doesn't change.

It's everlasting.

But it doesn't feel like it.

Yeah, that's because you're living by your feelings.

And then you let those feelings so intertwine that they become a faith issue.

That's what I'm trying to get to here, is that we need to separate what the enemy is trying to throw at us.

The lies, the non truths, the fake.

And we need to stand in the truth to overcome all of those lies and all of the bondage and all of the evil and all of the darkness.

Feelings are a part of life.

There's nothing wrong with feelings.

But they can't lead your life.

You can't lead by what you feel.

You have to lead with the truth and your faith in the truth.

You see, the first engine is truth, and you think, well, wait, Dave, shouldn't it be love?

No, actually, the first engine is truth, because the way the world defines love is not the way that God defines love.

So that's just a biggie right there.

But your faith has to overcome your feelings.

And what's critical, again, not saying that feelings are bad, not trying to indicate that in any way, shape, or form, but understanding that those feelings cannot dictate how you live.

If I went by my feelings regarding my wayward child, I would be in fear and terror.

But I believe that God is gracious and more powerful.

Just making reference to that.

Just.

I just have this great faith that God.

So I want.

So you have somebody like, we're asking prayer for Jill that she might call upon the name of the Lord.

And I may have that same prayer for one of my children.

And what I am trying to tell you and adult children are not the same as children who live in your house.

But what I am trying to tell you is that I can operate by fear or by faith.

And what is the decision?

I.

What.

What is the answer I am supposed to do?

Well, I don't know which one of those two will please God, because without faith, it's impossible to please him.

Okay, that's my answer.

And what the enemy tries to do is eradicate the truth with the feelings.

Now take it back to the original premise.

You see, the love that you had in your mind and heart from God has not moved.

But your feelings have moved.

Deception has moved, and you need to stand against it with the same faith as when you first said, yes, I surrender.

Because the truth is, God has not changed.

His love for you has not changed.

God is not for far.

If you feel like he's far, you're not living in faith.

Listen to what I'm trying to say to you.

The power of faith is greater.

I don't know if you read Hebrews.

Eleven.

Lately, we use that exact same faith to recognize God spoke and the universe came to existence.

That seems like a lot of power.

We use that same faith to see that people have seen the dead raised.

That seems like a lot of power.

Don't be afraid.

Remember, we talked about this.

Only believe and the enemy is like, no, no.

God doesn't like you the same way.

No, it's this.

No, it's ridiculous.

It's absurd.

It's contrary to truth.

And too many of us are letting the enemy deceive us.

God is not far.

If he is, he's a liar.

Uh oh.

Whoa.

Don't say that.

No, if he's far, he's a liar.

I am with you always.

Even to the end of the age.

It's either true or not.

We're either Bible believers or we're not.

We're either people of faith or we're not.

What are we?

Ooh, Dave, you gotta be nicer.

No, I don't.

Truth is, the truth doesn't matter.

God loves you every bit as much this moment as any other momentous.

It's us that needs to get on his page.

Get that?

All right.

Take a short break and then we'll come back.

You are listening to the David Spoon experience right here on Kam, 770, the truth station here in Texas.

Joy break.

We'll be back.

Don't go anywhere.

Like any person searching for answers, I too have wondered about him.

He has a weird sense of humorous.

If people are seeking wisdom and insight from the great teachers around the world, would they go to David?

No, I don't think so.

Those big ears really don't help.

Will people enjoy his perspective on culture, politics, food, sports and local and national news?

I don't know.

He's just a client.

Tune in to the David Spoon experience on Kam.

What is the David Spoon experience?

When Joshua was trying to figure out, you know, the lord of his decision for the Lord, and he was doing pretty good and had good training, he made a decision to follow the Lord.

Then he made a decision that he wanted to really commit to devotions.

I told him I was proud of him for that.

That's his own decision.

He has to make that call.

Nobody can choose that.

You know, I was listening to something the other day, and this is one of the most bizarre statements you're never going to hear a more bizarre statement.

I hope this gets on the radio.

You know, you can be born and raised Jewish, you can be born and raised Italian.

You can be born and raised in many different things.

But you can't be born a Christian.

Can't do it because you have to make a decision for Jesus Christ.

There's no being born a Christian.

That doesn't work.

That's a lie.

You have to make a choice, an individual choice.

Your 15 generations of your family could be Christians when you're born.

That does not make you a Christian.

When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior, that's when you become a Christian.

You understand that difference.

There's just something that dawned on me like, you know, people don't talk that way.

Well, he was born in a christian family.

That doesn't mean he's a Christian.

Plenty of murderers came out of christian families.

That doesn't mean a thing.

That's nothing.

But anyway, going back to, I had to share that because that's that thought that just really struck me as odd.

I, but the power of our words is so noticeable and Jesus says, hey, you know, I got one for you.

By your words you're going to be justified.

And by your words you're going to be condemned.

So my question to pose is why that's so forceful and brutal.

And the answer is in Matthew, chapter 15.

Matthew.

You guys like that one, huh?

I like that.

I can tell below.

I like that.

Matthew chapter 15.

Out of the mouth.

Come from the heart.

And the reason that Jesus said, by your words you will be justified.

And by your words you'll be condemned is because your words reveal what's in.

Your heart and you will know.

You can listen to other people and know by their spirit.

And I'm not even talking about coarse language.

I'm not talking about swearing.

I'm not even talking about any of that.

I'm not even necessarily talking about negative speech.

I'm talking about you will know a person's heart by what they say.

The David Spoon experience welcome back to the David Spoon experience.

Thank you for joining us here at KAM 770 the truth station here in Texas.

That's K Amen 770 the truth station here in Texas.

Here's your last trivia question.

Then we're going to send you to the website.

Here's your trivia question.

Get ready.

It should be pretty straightforward because we kind of already covered it earlier today.

What person in the Bible said, here am I.

Send me what Old Testament Prophet said, here am I.

Send me if you think you know.

David must increase.org what, which, which, what major profit?

In the meantime, I'm going to send you up to the website, another website.

I'm just going to say one thing.

If you are inclined or able to give, please do so because we need that process to increase.

Is that a nice way to say that?

That's all I'm going to say about it.

Check it out on the website.

He must increase.org prayer request he must increase.org dot praise report.

He must increase.org dot looking to give to this ministry.

He must increase.org dot confused by what's happening right now.

He mustincrease.org hemustincrease.org lego my eggo.

You know why I always get diego?

No.

Cause you grab for the corners.

See?

No corners.

Eggo waffles around.

Yeah.

So don't grab for the corners.

You know, we always have very good, like, life advice on this show.

Is that out of the whole entire teaching?

No.

The feel of don't grab the corners.

Don't grab the corners.

That's right.

All right, what person in the Bible?

What major prophet?

Now what do we say by major prophets?

I told you the major prophets and minor prophets.

Which person in the major prophets?

There's only four of them.

What Bible person said, here am I?

Send me.

Who said that?

If you think you know, reach out to us and we'll see if you get it right.

History.

All right.

For those who need to know, although it's not the most important thing, today is national chess day.

It is World Postcard Day.

I remember back 55 years ago when postcards were cool, it is also moldy cheese day.

I got nothing to say about that.

And then let's see.

One of the few times ever in history where somebody probably told a joke about rocks falling from heaven and it actually happened.

Okay, I'm just letting you know.

Okay.

Now, we do have somebody on the phone that's calling in, and we want to give them the opportunity.

So let's send them on through.

Knock, knock.

This is David.

Who am I talking to?

Aura?

I'm sorry, what's your name?

Aura.

O r a.

How are you today?

I'm doing wonderful.

How are you?

I'm fantastic.

Thank you for asking.

I do appreciate you asking.

All right, ready?

I'll set you up with a question and then you can answer.

Okay?

Yes.

What Bible prophet, one of the major prophets said, here am I.

Send me Isaiah.

That is correct.

I'm going.

I didn't count.

I didn't call in on the rest of them, but I got all the answers.

That's an excellent job.

So that's Isaiah, six eight.

What's amazing is that people are like, okay, here am I.

Send him.

Send us to me.

No, no.

Here am I.

Send me.

I'm ready, Lord, use me any way you want.

Excellent, excellent job.

This is my request back to the Lord every morning, all day.

Oh, that's so excellent.

By myself, because I'm not alone.

That is an excellent attitude, an excellent spirit.

I want you to know how proud God is of that because he loves it when his kids are like, here I am, Lord.

Use me any way you want.

It's like, that's just the best position to be in.

And I highly.

I highly commend you for that.

That's excellent.

The thing is, that's where the joy and strength of the Lord comes within you.

When he sees and knows your desire is his desire.

Exactly.

That's exactly, exactly right.

What a phenomenal, phenomenal thing to say.

Here's the thing.

It's like when people recognize that the very thing that God has put inside of you, that's the thing that makes everything right.

And okie dokie on track.

And when you present yourself to the Lord, you're tapping into that.

And that's what the Lord wants.

That's how he designed us to be.

It's what he faces you through, his word in you.

And it's not about the adwords.

The adword is there, but your focus and your faith is on the n word because it links up with his word and he honors his words.

That's right.

You know what?

You get mega proud.

We'll give you another clap hand because that is an excellent follow up response.

Excellent job.

Super, super glad.

And please call in more often.

I certainly will.

And just love.

And I'm getting so much nourishment and encouragement out of the radio show.

So God bless you all.

God bless you as well.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Bye bye.

Bye bye.

All right.

Phenomenal job.

Isn't that great?

That's so nice.

It's so nice.

Okay, now let's finish up.

I got about two minutes.

You wouldn't believe how much stuff I could talk about in two minutes.

But we'll just move on.

Here's the thing about the love of God.

And we were talking about the love of God, and we're going through this whole process.

I want you to pick up on this.

This is really cool.

First, John 416, listen to this.

I don't really have to say a lot.

Just listen to this.

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

Stop.

Because everybody else will just go, God is love.

Whoever lives in love lives in God and God in them.

And they'll skip over this first part of the verse in one John 416.

Listen to the first part of the verse so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

I just gotta say it.

Do you and I rely on the love that God has for us?

Like when we first said yes, and we're like, yay, that love.

We're supposed to rely on that love.

We're supposed to count on that love.

We're supposed to know which, by the way, epigenosis is the greek word which means to know by contact, which means by relationship.

We're supposed to know and rely, depend, sit on, abide in, dwell, live, exist in the love of God.

It's not a fake love where God says, oh, do whatever you want.

I don't care.

That's not what's going on.

In fact, real love involves discipline.

Jesus said, as many as I love, I discipline.

It's to understanding that that love doesn't move.

It's everlasting.

God is faithful and true.

He's not going to blow it all on you.

I don't mean that rudely.

I'm trying to say it's not like, oh, I've done it for everybody else but you.

No way.

We know and rely on the love God has for us because he is love.

He doesn't stop being love because you did something dumb.

In fact, because he chose you, knowing you would do something dumb.

The fact that he's ever with you is proof of that love.

Just say yes and amen and enjoy him.

That's your big, big goal.

All right, folks, you've been listening to the David Smoon experience radio on KAAM 770, the truth station here in Texas 22 and a half hour break.

Then we'll come back.

More insanity with supermanity.

Talk to you then.
