The David Spoon Experience dives into the critical topic of the sanctity of life and the moral implications surrounding abortion, emphasizing that the Bible clearly supports the view that life begins at conception. David Spoon engages with callers Rosalind and Robert, who share their personal experiences of witnessing to others about Jesus, highlighting the unexpected opportunities God creates for sharing faith. Throughout the conversation, they discuss the importance of being available for God’s work and the need for believers to actively participate in advancing His kingdom. The episode underscores that there is no neutral ground when it comes to faith; one is either for or against the kingdom of God. With a mix of humor and heartfelt reflections, David encourages listeners to embrace grace and the transformative power of prayer while addressing challenging societal issues.

The David Spoon Experience is a dynamic exploration of faith interwoven with humor and community interaction. As Spoon opens the show, he sets a light-hearted tone, inviting listeners to engage in a discussion about their favorite Pauline epistles. This segment encourages not just theological reflection but also personal connection, as Spoon's playful use of sound effects and humor creates an inviting atmosphere. The intention is clear: spirituality can be approached with levity, even while delving into profound topics of faith and life. Spoon’s charismatic hosting style fosters a sense of belonging among his audience, emphasizing that the show is a communal experience rather than a solitary one.

A key highlight of the episode is the heartfelt testimony shared by a listener, Roslyn, who recounts her experience of witnessing to an Uber driver named Amir during a challenging time in her family’s life. This narrative serves as a powerful reminder of how God orchestrates opportunities for evangelism, often in the most unexpected places. Spoon's enthusiasm and encouragement for Rosalind's efforts to share her faith illustrate the significance of personal testimony in the Christian journey. The dialogue shifts towards community involvement, with Spoon urging listeners to pray for Amir and others who may be searching for faith, reinforcing the idea that collective prayer can lead to transformative experiences.

The episode also tackles the challenging topic of abortion, where Spoon and Robert engage in a thoughtful discussion about the biblical stance on life. By referencing scripture, particularly Jeremiah 19, they explore the moral complexities involved and the importance of compassion in these discussions. Spoon emphasizes that understanding God’s view on life is critical in addressing societal issues, and he calls for a balance between strong convictions and empathy. The episode culminates in a prayer, encapsulating the themes of faith, community, and the call to actively participate in the kingdom of God, leaving listeners with a renewed sense of purpose and encouragement.

Hello everybody.

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

It's Doctor Dave's devotional diamonds of the day, also known as DDD is 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 there's a time to laugh and by golly, our sound effects are funny.

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

Just look outside and listen and you'll know.

Life lessons for our faith that we can 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 you go.

Here's the big answer.

Three letters.

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

Welcome to the David Spoon experience.

Local, national and heavenly talk.

Doctor David Spoon and 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 going to happen, and we don't care.

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

So here we go.

We're asking questions about living life as a Christian.

That thing right there, pretty straightforward, easy question for you to answer.

Between Romans and Philemon, what is your favorite paulinian epistle between Romans and all the way to Philemon.

Okay, since Hebrews is not known for sure, most likely not paulinian.

So from Romans all the way to Philemon.

No, it's not Philemon.

Philemon all the way.

What is your favorite?

So you got Romans, you got first and second Corinthians, you got Galatians, you got Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, one Thessalonians, second Thessalonians, you got first Timothy, two Timothy, you got Titus, you got Philemon.

That's what you get to choose for.

What of those paulinian epistles are your favorite of those?

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.

Talking to Jammin Jacob is like talking to a person that you can count on.

Hello.

Thank you, David.

Happy Tuesday.

Happy Tuesday to you, my friend.

Thank you.

As Jacob has put himself on the line as we have begun the process of doing an audiobook for the faith that pleases God, starting today.

Good job.

Today, by the way.

Yes, we are on chapter three, correct?

Yeah, we're on chapter three.

And it's great because I only found 13 mistakes in the first reading and then I just looked ahead and found eight more that are right behind it.

Isn't that fun?

Yes, it is.

That's the greatest thing about being a Christian right there.

No matter what anybody tells me, I'm just going to say it real simple.

The greatest thing about being a Christian is if it depended on me, I'd be dust in the wind.

All we are is dust in the wind, right?

And by the way, Carrie Lifgren, who wrote that song dust in the wind, took that out of our life is but a vapor.

Ha.

How about that?

Anyway, my point being, I am so thankful for grace.

Without grace we could not stand, we could not last, just couldn't happen.

Anyway, I want to know from you what your favorite paulinian epistle is.

And so you have that opportunity to share with us.

Also, if you have something else, maybe you have an opinion, a comment, a thought or a question, anything like that, we do want you to give us a call.

That makes it really easy.

The number is easy.

We do not believe anybody will get a static shock from calling the number.

Terry Lifkin was the key player there.

Two, one, four.

Additionally, you can whaaat?

Send an email.

What?

David mustincrease.org that's David Dash.

Dash emustincrease.org.

so you can send a text, you can send an email, you can make a phone call.

And for what reasons might you do all those things?

Well, it might be a praise report.

Hallelujah.

We should be giving praise reports on a regular basis, knowing, recognizing, acknowledging the great things the Lord God has done for us.

I mean, just the kindness of God so exceeds us.

Maybe you've got a prayer request.

Why is that important?

Because prayer changes the world and faith used in prayer is how it happens.

So we want to be available for that and for opportunities.

Additionally, you can have something you just want to share.

Maybe you're just looking out there going, I see the landscape.

I see the times.

I understand the times we're in.

Just want to share with other brothers and sisters.

Don't be afraid.

God is in control.

Be a good thing, right?

All right.

Now we do have somebody that does want to share something.

I have no idea what it is, and we don't mind because that's what we do.

Let's send them on through.

Knock, knock.

This is David.

Who am I talking to?

Hi, David.

This is Rosalind and Robert.

Hi, Rosalind and Robert.

How are you guys?

We're doing just fine, thank you very much.

How are you?

I'm doing great.

I'm doing great.

Thank you for asking.

I appreciate that.

What's happening?

Well, we wanted to share some stuff.

Robert has a comment, but I wanted to share something before I hand him the phone.

But he's here with me.

You can hear him jiggling.

So I wanted to share yesterday.

So thank you, everybody, for praying for my mom.

She's a vetter.

She was hospitalized last Tuesday, and she transferred yesterday to a rehab place.

And the transport was about 3 hours late.

And so I was ubering it to the rehab center.

And when I was in the car, I was listening to yesterday's show, and I heard one brother ace called in.

And I think everybody was kind of overwhelmed with that call yesterday.

And the Uber driver noticed and he said, you can change the radio station.

He thought it was whatever he was playing.

I said, no, it has nothing to do with that.

And I was telling him about the show and brother ace.

And so that sparked a two and a half hour conversation in the Uber car, telling him about Jesus.

And his name is Amir.

And he's saying that he knows some about Islam, he knows a little bit about Judaism, but he's just trying to find out more about Jesus.

And we were supposed to have gone on a vacation, leaving last Saturday, but with my mom, we decided to not go.

And before my mom even got sick, the Sunday before and Sunday school, I asked for prayer for safe travels.

And I asked also because I remember your story, David, about how you and Noel witnessed to somebody on your way to Texas.

And that thought was in my mind, and I just said, maybe God will open a door where Robert and I can share the gospel with someone on our trip and make it a missionary trip.

And so even though that didn't happen here on the way to go visit my mom, there was still a missionary trip.

And I thought, I wonder if the whole reason all this happened was just so I could be there to talk to this man, Amir.

And he let me pray with him and invited him to church on Sunday, so maybe he'll come on Sunday.

And that was just glad and amazing experience, how God orchestrates so many things potentially just for one moment in time.

And so I just.

I want to say, brother Ace, whether God answered his prayer yesterday or not, he is still making a huge impact, because that started this whole conversation.

And I was even able to tell the man about Sergio, who calls in and how he's been on this journey, because I gave him your card and I told him, you can call the radio show and ask questions.

And I was telling him about Sergio.

And it's just how this whole community, everybody plays a role, even though we may not think it, but I was able to use that in talking to this gentleman, Amir.

And so I just thought that was pretty amazing as well.

And I just wanted to share all of that and ask for prayer for Amir.

We're definitely gonna pray for Amir first.

We wanna give praise, though.

Give a clap offering for that.

What just took place there, because that, the fact that you got to witness, just think about that.

It's like, lord, we wanna be able to witness.

And the Lord goes, okay, and we wanna be able to witness on the trip.

And the Lord's like, well, no, I'm gonna have you witness.

I'm just gonna do it different.

And so it's just like how the Lord set it up for you, and you still got a chance.

And I mentioned you, like, last week, how the last time you got a chance to witness, you didn't have anything planned.

It was just like the Lord said, boom, here you go.

And then you just started sharing, right?

And then that's what comes out.

It's just like, that's when you're being available.

That's when you're being ready.

Even Eric just texted in saying, DNA, always be ready.

And it's like, that's the very thing we're talking about, because then the Lord used that.

We are definitely going to pray for Amir, and we are definitely thankful that Angelina is doing better.

And that that whole process brought about a moment, a divine appointment that nobody else in the universe could have scripted except for God.

And that's what's so awesome about it.

It's like, okay, I bet the Lord blesses you guys on your trip twice as much as you would have been blessed before, just because you put yourselves in the position to be used by the Lord.

And it's like, that's.

That's the key.

That's the key component.

So phenomenal job.

Phenomenal.

Phenomenal.

Phenomenal.

That's the word for the day.

Phenomenal.

If there's a duck that comes down and it makes us quack, and then you get, like, a $50 gift certificate.

Phenomenal is the word.

Okay.

All right.

Now I do want to hear from your hubby, because he's got something he wants to share, and I want to make sure that he gets a chance to share, too, because he's definitely a great thinker in the kingdom of God.

Talk to me, Robert.

What's happening, my brother?

Well, Rosslyn played for me a bit of your show.

Was it yesterday's show?

Yeah.

Where you were talking about voting the Bible?

Yes.

Correct.

And you were talking specifically about the abortion issue.

Correct.

And you were focusing in on verses that show that, you know, a baby in the womb is still a living human being.

Right.

And Rosslyn was offering this to me as something that I needed to play for one of my family members who is kind of hung up on that issue in all the wrong ways.

Gotcha.

I gotcha.

I totally understand.

And after I listened to it, Rosslyn was sitting there going, what do you think?

Huh?

And I said, well, he's being too nice.

And, yeah, Rosslyn laughed, too.

I mean, I was sitting there, and what was.

What continues to bother me about this issue.

It's not that people don't believe that it's a baby, but that they don't care.

Right?

No.

Right.

And that's a huge point.

Make that point.

That's a big point right there.

I mean, you can.

You can prove to them.

You can prove to them that it is, and they'll rationalize a way around it because, you know, and the verses, the verses of the Bible that continually come to me when I think about this issue is the first.

There's the one in James about it all begins with desire.

Right?

All sin begins is desire in the heart.

And it's like that.

They want this to be a certain way.

They want.

They want to be able to do this.

And why they want it is because the whole argument of my body, my choice, you can apply that argument to any sin.

Any sin is always you deciding your choice over what God wants you to do.

But when I think about this issue, the Bible verse that really jumps out at me the most is Jeremiah 19 four five.

And that's where God was talking about his people sacrificing their children to demons.

And in verse five, he says they've built pagan shrines to Baal, and they were burning their children on that shrine.

And the exact word that God says is, I have never commanded such a horrible deed, and it never even crossed my mind to command such a thing.

That's right.

That's really where my head goes when I think about that particular issue.

So when you were sayiNg, vote the Bible.

Vote, vote the bible, I was Thinking, yeah, you need to.

You need to throw that bit in there, too, because JEReMiah 19 is a really harsh, harsh chapter of the Bible.

And.

But I mean, it's a harsh issue.

It's really hard.

You said that.

She laughed at me at first when I said you were being too nice, but then after, after I told her why I thought you were being too nice, she's like, yeah, you need to go tell david that.

Yeah.

So here's what's brilliant about.

So you're talking about JeReMiah 19.

We're not even talking about JEReMiah one, which says, before you, before you were in the womb, I.

For before I knew you, while you were in the womb, before you were even formed.

So the Lord knows us at the very.

At the conception.

There's no question that biblically it's about conception, okay?

Because conception starts that.

That whole process.

And there's a couple of really important things you said, and I want to draw on them.

And I want to add something, because Aunt Deb brought up, you know, because I was a little fiery.

And it's funny because you're saying, not too far, not fiery enough.

She brought up a great point, that if you have done that, there is absolute mercy and forgiveness in Jesus Christ.

And there's some people that have done that and live in that guilt place.

And the place to come for relief is getting compassion from Jesus and getting forgiveness of your sins.

So that's important for people to recognize.

That's what the gospel's about.

Even murderers like the apostle Paul can find redemption at the same time.

You want to also key in on exactly what you said.

It's amazing how important science is unless it doesn't coincide with what the person wants.

So what they're saying is science is the answer.

And it's like, see?

And then you show them science from the things that they can show.

They've even showed a spark of light at concept perception in some of the imagery.

And they're like, well, no, no, that doesn't count.

And it's like, wait, it doesn't count when it's against your political position, but it counts when it's something you want to do.

And again, nobody is talking, and I want to make sure I said nobody's talking about somebody that has been raped, incest, or the actual life of the mother's endangered.

I'm not talking about that.

We could talk about that all day long, but that doesn't account for.

That only counts for 2%.

98% of abortions are recreational.

And it's like.

And when you.

The fact.

Yeah.

And you said you kept using the word selfish.

Yes.

Yes.

And I was.

I was saying to Ross, yeah, I think that's a little.

You're being too nice.

You're being gentle because, I mean, when you look at what.

What was.

What's happening, I would think the word satanic or the word demonic is probably a lot more.

A lot more true to what's happening than just selfish.

That's exactly.

Well, that's exactly true, because the Bible says not only is Satan the father of lies, but he's a murderer and has been a murderer from the beginning.

So people that get involved in murder, that.

And we're not talking about killing.

We're talking about murder.

They are attaching to Satan.

Again, for those that have and are looking for redemption, there is forgiveness.

There's no question.

The blood of Jesus is, well, way great.

He's a better savior than we're ever a sinner.

But to.

But to not understand the level of disgustingness that God feels about it, it's as though the people don't understand their blood.

The blood of innocent children are crying out.

And I love this country.

So there's no ifs, ands, or buts.

But this country has a lot to answer for in that realm.

It's great that we made a switch, but there was still a lot of damage done, and there's still even more damage being done where they're trying to do, you know, abortions outside of the womb after there's birth.

And it's like you're just sitting there going, there is no possible way that any rational person can think this is okay because they're just inconvenienced or.

You're right.

It's much more attached to a demonic, satanic type of offering, just like Jeremiah 19 refers to.

So in that sense, you're right.

So I give you mega props for bringing that up, because that's an important issue.

I also give ant Deb props for saying, hey, there's got.

There is a compassion aside, and we need to acknowledge that.

But what we're talking about is the truth of the matter that God is a God of life, and for people to murder to shed innocent blood, there is no greater abomination than to.

I mean, even Peter denied Jesus three times, but was restored three times.

And it's in that same scenario.

The bottom line is, shedding innocent blood to the Lord is so heinous that in Genesis, God forbids not just people from shedding blood from one another, but animals shedding blood.

And it's just like, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.

Not okay.

Not okay.

Never.

And so, in that approach, you think, wow, that would surely change a lot of people's minds.

But then again, you're right.

Some people are demonically influenced, and they use.

Yeah.

And they use their self centeredness to sin, and it's just like, that's not okay.

That's just not a good thing.

So, excellent points, by the way, from.

From.

From what you're showing to.

But that's because you have a great mind.

I like the way you think, and I like the way that you kind of sustain.

It's really one of those cool things.

And we do want to pray for Amir and Angelina, and we want to pray for the both of you so that you can have a trip.

Yes.

Thank you.

Because that got kind of removed.

And that doesn't mean God forgot.

It just means we got to ask the Lord to set it up, set up an opportunity for you guys to have that trip.

That's the big key there.

So let me pray over all of you.

Can you guys hang on together while I pray over you?

Yes.

Okay, let's do it.

Father, we come before you right now, and I just want to thank you for Rosalind and Robert.

I do.

I thank you for their willingness to sacrifice.

To do it was the right thing.

In their call, they made the best call they can regarding Angelina.

And we thank you that Angelina is doing better.

We really do.

Lord, it's a blessing that she is doing better, but she's got better yet to go.

And so we're asking for that to be poured into her body and that by the power of the Holy Spirit, that she would have strengthening and healing and uplifting in her spirit, in her heart, in her mind, in her functionality.

And, Lord, at the same time, we want to pray for this gentleman.

Amir.

It's not us, Lord.

It's not us.

The power of the gospel is in your gospel, and we are asking you to draw Amir towards you, pull him in towards you.

He doesn't know, which is amazing.

He doesn't really even know what you are all about.

He doesn't know your love.

He doesn't know your compassion for him.

He doesn't know that you share with him and that you want him to know you.

Show Amir your heart.

Heart.

Let him find out what the truth is.

And let him learn to call upon the name of the Lord.

We pray for his salvation.

We pray for him to decide and say yes and surrender to you.

And, Lord, we ask you to bless Robert and Rosalind.

Because, Lord, regardless, they had some time planned.

You know, come you apart and rest awhile.

It's important to get that refreshment.

That's why we have the Sabbath.

That's why there's times we just need to take a break.

And, Lord, we're asking you to open an opportunity, a door not suspected, not even anticipated, that they could in fact, enjoy time together away on some family gathering for them, for their benefit, for their strengthening, for their refreshment.

And that from that they would know that, Lord, you are so closely with them that these things matter to you, too.

We ask you to bless them in that.

Bless them as a family and all for their prayers and for their commitments and their love.

Reward them with your graciousness and with more of you.

That's what we pray.

We pray that in the incredible name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and savior, amen.

And amen.

Amen.

Thank you, David.

You guys are welcome.

We love you guys.

You guys did a great job.

And thank you both for sharing.

We're glad we were able to call in together.

Yay.

That's good.

That was really good.

It was a good discussion.

So I really appreciate it.

Okay.

Thank you, David.

Bye, everybody.

Bye bye.

Bye, you guys.

All right, so now people who are listening to the show are going, no way.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

This show's got teaching.

It's got prayers, got trivia.

It's got jokes.

That's right.

I've got jokes.

Don't you think about it for a second.

Here's the bottom line.

The bottom line is this.

There's a great truth in what Robert said about sin being so connected to Satan.

It's not even funny.

It's sad, actually, because when Jesus was making reference to Satan, he said that the prince of the heirs coming, he has nothing in me, which means he had no access point.

He had no place to jump in.

But people whose lives are filled with sin have access and opening points for Satan to take advantage.

What we want to do is share.

Just share that there is this freedom, this grace, this mercy that is undeserved.

Obviously, it's grace.

And available.

And nobody who's listening to my voice needs to worry about getting a tent and a microphone and a band behind you and people passing offering plates and, you know, having all these different little hooks and these little things.

Never think of that.

What you want to do as a person who's presenting yourself is just tell the Lord, here I am.

It is promised in scripture.

Luke, chapter twelve, verse twelve.

At that time, the Holy Spirit will tell you what to say.

You don't have to pre plan anything.

You have to just be available and the Lord will use you.

No, I want to make this point.

Does it always turn out fantastical?

No, but that's not what the Lord is looking for from his kids.

The Lord is looking for the here I am.

Use me.

Not everything you do in the kingdom is going to be super.

I get gold bars for this.

I get stripes.

That's not how it works.

But what the Lord wants to do is he wants to do it with us.

You have to understand, and I'll just say this because we're not going to get anything else, but God knows what.

You're going to pray before you pray it.

Yes.

He's omniscient, so, yes.

Then why does he want us to pray?

Because he wants us to spend time with him, that's why.

That's how much love he has for us.

Yeah, I know.

But hang out with me.

You're my kids.

Get that.

That's kind of cool.

All right.

Yeah, that's cool.

All right.

We'll take our break and then come back.

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 is the David Spoon experience?

So what Jesus said, whoever is not against you is for you.

That's what he's talking about.

They're a kingdom advancer.

It's all good.

Now watch this.

In Luke, chapter eleven, verse 20 through 23, if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

When a strong man, fully armed, guards his estate, his possessions are secure.

But when one stronger than he attacks and overpowers, he takes from him all his weapons, the armor and the weapons of the foot soldier that he trusted in, and he divides up his plunder, anyone who is not with me is against me.

And anyone does not gather with me, scatters.

And you're thinking, but what about the others?

Watch.

Keeping it in context.

This person is not for the kingdom of God.

This person is neutral.

Not a kingdom advancer.

Not a person that's trying to advance the kingdom of God.

And when you are not a kingdom advancer, then you are supporting the other kingdoms.

You are either in for, with, through, and by the kingdom of God or all the other kingdoms.

There is no neutral.

There is no, well, I'm going to.

I'm going to sit this one out.

There is no sitting it out with goddess.

You're either helping advance his kingdom or helping another kingdom advance one of the two.

So the guy that was casting out evil spirits in the name of Jesus Christ, he's advancing the kingdom of God, but the person who's not for Jesus is trying to be neutral and do nothing.

That person's not advancing the kingdom of God.

And that person who's not advancing the kingdom of God is therefore against the kingdom of God because there is no neutral.

And you're thinking, well, no, no, there's got to be a neutral.

Never heard the joke about the mugwump, huh?

Never heard about the soldier that, you know, he was confederate soldier and then union soldier, had gray on the top and dark blue on the bottom.

What'd they do, shoot at them from both sides?

That's what they did.

In other words, there is none of that.

That doesn't exist.

You're either with Jesus in the advancement of his kingdom, or you're nothing.

And if you're not, then he considers that against.

And you think, well, whoa, that is just rude.

Tell it to Jesus.

Tell him he's rude.

Go ahead.

Jesus said, seek first the kingdom of God, not, hey, you know, in your life, you got all these things going on, you got to take care of work, you got to do this, you got to do this.

You got to pay this bill and do this and raise your kids, and somewhere in there, do me a favor, and every once in a while, kick it around and think about me and the kingdom that doesn't exist.

That's not a reality check.

The reality check is that you are either for the kingdom of God or opposed to the kingdom of God.

And if you try to be neutral, you're opposed.

The David spoon experience.
