Hello, everybody.

I've got Sunshine on a cloudy day when it's cold outside, I've got.

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

It's Dr.

Dave's devotional Diamonds of the Day, also known as DD DDDs, where my daily devotions become some of our spiritual reflections.

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

But the Bible teaches there's a time to laugh.

And right about now, a little more than half of America is doing a lot of laughing.

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

Yay.

You should want the Lord to come back, like, right now.

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?

Cause I have a face for radio.

Also Bible trivia for fake.

And yet somehow at the same time, 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 Spooner, and I'll be your host for the next 5,400,000 milliseconds.

A lot of those, you know.

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 truth with you.

So here we go.

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

That thingy right there.

Oh, I got one for you.

You think you've heard good questions before?

Ready?

Okay.

Ready?

Ready?

This is it.

This could be the topper.

This could be the great one.

Okay.

All right, ready?

If you could ask God one question, what would it be?

If you could ask God one question, what would it be?

That is the question.

If you could ask God one question, what question would you ask?

Wow.

If you have a response to that, if you have an opinion, a comment, a thought, or your own question, don't let it die of loneliness.

Just reach out to us.

Give us a call.

Well, you'll end up talking to Jammin, Jacob talking to Jam.

And Jacob is like feeling confident that you've done your very best.

Thank you, David.

Happy Wednesday.

Happy Wednesday to you.

Happy post election Tuesday day to you, my friend.

Couple things we need to make the audience aware of.

Number one, is the phone working?

Do we know if it's working at the moment?

No, but it's kind of going in and out today.

So I'm going to try to get it working during the show.

Okay.

Number two, don't forget those three fader things that we talked about and let me know.

Just use finger one.

Go like this.

Two, three.

And we'll just communicate while we're doing it.

Also, also, I want people to be aware of a couple things.

I mean, a lot of things.

Okay.

First of all, you know, you can call us if the phone works.

So if the phone doesn't work, guess what won't happen?

Your phone calls.

Therefore, we need a little help.

And by help, we mean we need you to reach out to us in the other way.

So for those that don't know, it appears as though.

Listen to this.

It appears as though one of the fiber cables to the Internet here at the station was somehow cut.

Nobody will say how that happened.

We all have our thoughts and processes in that.

Since who wants the word of God to go out through different shows?

Well, not Satan, that's for sure.

So the bottom line is it appears that one of those have been severed.

Everybody's looking into it.

So if you cannot call and you want to call, you might just have to do the good old fashioned text or email.

Either one will work.

So let me make sure you have those numbers to text us.

Wait, that's the phone number.

I did that wrong.

To text us.

No, I'm not giddy.

I'm just trying to pull things together.

To text us.

So let me say that again.

O to text us.

To send us an email, which I am getting those because I'm on wifi.

David crease.org David D A V I D my name at a with a circle.

He must increase from John 3:30.

He must increase.

I must decrease.org because we're a nonprofit entity.

So you can Text us, or you can send an email.

We will have somebody try the phone and see if it works.

We just don't know what's going to happen.

Don't be too surprised one way or another.

Okay, so these are things that you can reach out to us for.

Why would you reach out to us for?

Well, there's lots of reasons and we're going to cover a whole bunch of them.

We have a lot of business to take care of today.

Number one, you might have a praise report.

I want to give props to Joanne and Cordelia.

They have a praise report.

They sent it through email.

So Cordelia and Joanne have been going through lots of different things and the Lord has really brought them through the fire.

I mean, they're getting through the fire.

So from a blessing point of view, they needed some finances.

Somebody gave them a check.

From another blessing point of view, somebody gave them gift cards.

They also have had some really interesting things happen, even bank fees being reversed.

So we want to say thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Lord, for being kind to our sisters.

Don't you just want to say that?

Let me explain something to you, and I want to really say this.

I had an opportunity to minister to somebody privately yesterday, and I did so.

And that person got back to me today and they were like, it just really moved me.

It really affected me.

It really helped me.

Do you know that that email that they sent me was more of a blessing for me than I might have been for them?

And I think that's probably true because I read that and I'm like, I love that God will use us to bless other people.

And let me say something to you.

The blessing of being a blessing is as awesome as the person receiving what they're looking for.

The Lord has this way of communicating with you and I.

This is a brotherhood.

This is a sisterhood.

This is a family.

We're the family of God.

Jesus Christ is the head of the church.

And you know, I get pretty fiery when we start talking about people having unity issues or whatever.

It's like, it's so absurd.

People are bashing on other Christians.

The last thing Christians need to be doing is bashing on other Christians.

We just had this mega vote situation.

Some people are feeling pretty relieved.

Some people are still pretty nervous.

Doesn't matter.

We're gonna pray for the country one way or another.

But your brother or your sister in Christ, maybe they belong to a different tribe.

But if they are genuinely born again, Bible believing Christians who love Jesus, that is your family.

And that's how God set it up.

And for you and I to be a blessing to one another.

That's a big part of the whole schematic.

By this shall all men know you are my disciples.

One for my disciples.

By your love, one for another.

See, I'm just getting so much going in my brain, it's coming out in spurts.

But here's the thing.

You gotta love one another to show people that.

And it's not just the people that are in your church that shows it.

Really.

What's more fascinating as a testimony is you being able to love somebody who's not in your section of the church and you still love them.

And that's a great testimony.

Not the person that sees everything the exact same way you do, but the person who doesn't.

And yet you still love them.

You still extend to them, you still pray for them, you still care for them.

That's the power of the testimony.

And what did Jesus say?

A new commandment I gave you.

What do you mean, a new.

Well, there's.

Love the Lord your God, with all your heart, soul, strength and mind, and love your neighbor as you love yourself.

But Jesus said, I have a new one.

I want you to love one another as I have loved you.

And the way that Jesus loves us is greater than the way we love ourselves.

So we're called up to a yet a higher level.

And we are supposed to extend that to one another.

And what I'm trying to tell you right now, I just know the Lord is telling people, you be a blessing for other brothers and sisters.

You will find blessing returned unto you when you bless others.

God blesses you.

And he wants to bless his kids.

He wants to pour it out upon them.

He wants to lavish them with his presence and his anointing and his graces and his gifts and his gracelets.

And we need to say, yes, Lord, use us, Lord.

Let us be an avenue to bless others in whatever capacity.

And that's what the Lord's called us to people.

And I know the number one question.

I'm not even reading them.

The number one question people ask is, how long are you gonna be?

Let's go.

Let's get this program going.

Come back.

We want him to come back, but in the meantime, we're supposed to reflect Jesus Christ more and more.

Fine, you be Jesus for your brothers and sisters.

How about that?

Be like Jesus.

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

Get what I'm saying?

All right, so in lieu of that, if we get to a point where we're taking calls or if not, I don't even care.

Here's the bottom line.

If you want to reach out to us, do it by text.

David must increase.org so I want to go to the Lord in prayer for a couple of things.

Before we get there, we just want to briefly talk about the election because I know people are kind of chomping at the bit.

Just slow down, okay?

Really?

Nothing happened today or last night that God didn't know was going to happen before the foundation of the earth.

And people that don't understand that don't know God, the Lord knew all along what was and wasn't going to happen.

Now there are many people in our audience much more of a conservative bent.

There's not an issue there.

But we are very, very committed to saying we'll never tell you who to vote for.

We're going to tell you who to vote with.

And that's the Lord.

And one of the things that I said a little while ago, you guys know I put a link on the website to the Babylon Bee and I understand some people don't like the Babylon Bee.

It's too sarcastic.

I appreciate that.

Don't, don't go to the site.

Don't do anything that's going to offend you.

Okay?

For those that have a little bit different flair, have that different mindset, their headline yesterday as the voting closed without anybody saying another word was, all the votes are in.

Jesus Christ is still on the throne.

Hallelujah.

I know they got sarcasm, but boy, that's great.

That's the great way to say it doesn't matter.

You think that man's going to ultimately decide man's fate?

Oh, it's ridiculous.

Remember, Earth is God's footstool.

Keep in mind who's in charge of the universe, right?

So we want to be aware of that.

Also, we don't want to be.

And I'm going to say this really nice to those that felt much more favor in the election results.

You don't want to be going nanny, nanny, boo boo.

Okay, Bad spirit, don't do that.

What we should all be praying for is that the Lord has his way in this nation.

And if we feel like that has a greater chance now because of the results of this election, that doesn't mean we stop praying.

That means we pray all the more.

Now we got people that are hurting and people that are doing great and all that stuff.

But the first thing, I want to pray.

I'm going to pray for people's health in the next 60 minute segment, but I want to pray for the nation that not for any, that we as a people would turn our face to God.

That's what we need.

You want this nation to concede now?

I will concede that some people are saying, hey, well, we've got a couple years to make things better or do this or we got this.

And there's arguments on both sides.

Let me explain something to you.

Unless our nation turns its face to God and the people, not just the political leaders, but the people of the nation turn their face to God, it ain't going to go well even if we have a temporary reprieve.

So let's pray for that to increase.

And let's honor the Lord because he rules in the affairs of men.

By the way, if you don't think so, you should read the book of Daniel.

And in fact, you should specifically read chapter four.

And you should specifically be aware that God is in charge.

Okay, let's pray.

Father, we come before you right now and we just want to thank you and praise you.

We thank you for the praise reports.

And Lord, I also want to pray for Jill, who's Nancy's daughter.

She needs some more recovery on what's going on.

She has some levels, certain levels in her body that aren't doing well.

Lord, please heal her.

Please touch Jill by the power of the Holy Spirit so that she can be well.

And Lord, for all these little things that you're doing for all of our people, all these small little things that you've done, we just want to say thank you.

We appreciate it so much.

God, your kindness exceeds us.

I say it all the time.

Lord, you're just better than us in the kindness department.

I was praying just this today, you know this, Lord, just that you would pour out your kindness on your people.

And we just thank you for doing that.

And Lord, we want to thank you for what we, what we think might be a redirection for our country.

There's a lot of people that felt like there was a heaviness that lifted last night.

And maybe that's so, Lord, and hope it's so.

But Lord, we as a nation need to turn our face to you.

We as the people of God need to seek your help.

You're the king, you're the leader.

And we pray that your influence upon our leaders would be dramatically increased and we would see the reflection of your wisdom moving in the leadership of our nation.

And for those that want to continue to create problems in this process, Lord, that they would be pushed to the side so that there can be a genuine commitment and surrender to your purposes.

Lord, we know they mock.

We understand, but we will not mock you.

We honor you, and we ask you to bless the United States of America with your favor as a people.

Lord, help us to repent so that we might come to your favor.

Have mercy on us, guide our leaders, protect us, protect the children, protect the womb, and protect righteousness amongst us.

We call upon your name.

We call upon your name.

And whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

And blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.

Be the Lord of our country.

That's what we pray.

In Jesus name.

In Jesus name.

In Jesus name.

Amen and amen.

All right, so the bottom line to that is I recognize there are people that say, well, that's kind of theocratical.

You want a theocratical government?

It's like, first of all, a theocratical government doesn't actually exist in its pure form, in case anybody's wondering, just on the face of the earth.

Yes, I was.

I took master's classes in poli sci and everything else.

Here's the bottom line.

True theocratical government is when God rules it directly.

So when they keep saying those things, it's not the leaders, not the pastors, not the priests, not the leaders.

It's when God does it directly.

Guess what we're looking forward to in heaven and on earth, the new heavens and the new earth.

God doing it directly.

Yay.

That's what you want.

If you're a Christian, get it.

Okay, cool.

All right.

So did all that because I wanted to kind of share some of that with you guys and kind of get everybody on the same track.

Now that we're done with that, I've got to finish off this little part in Psalm chapter 56.

There's only two verses.

Not a lot to go.

Obviously, we're not going to break.

And you better get ready, because the message I got after this is ten times more powerful than some of the other stuff I've had a chance to teach, and I'm super looking forward to it.

But let's go back to Psalm 56.

We'll pick it up in verse 11 where David says, in God I have put my trust.

I will not be afraid.

What can man do to me?

What can man do to me?

For those that are thinking, gee, that sounds familiar, Dave.

Well, it is familiar.

Here's the familiar part Hebrews 13:6.

So we may boldly say, the Lord is my helper.

I will not fear.

What can man do to me?

This is something we need to really understand as the people of God.

And I'm going to hammer it home because it deserves to be hammered home.

The psalmist is mentioning, so David is talking about this, and he's like, he's not going to be afraid.

And again, we've talked about this multiple times.

Fear is a decision.

You can give in to fear or not give in to fear.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.

In other words, there's no way he's going to process and go into it.

And so here David's saying, in God I have put my trust.

I will not be afraid.

If we trust in the Lord, the power of fear loses its grip.

And when we say, I trust in the Lord, I trust in the Lord.

We gotta stop doing the Brahm Brahmos.

Because all we ever do when we do that is confess the doubt that we have operating.

And what we need to operate in is that trust.

The Bible's clear that when we trust in the Lord, that there is peace of mind.

He keeps everybody in peace whose mind is stayed upon you, Lord.

Isaiah 26:3, because they trust in you.

And then he says, besides, what can man do to me?

And you're thinking, wait a minute, what do you mean, what can man do to me?

They can kill you.

Yep, they sure can.

They can really mess up your 60, 70, or 80 years, but they can't do anything about your eternity.

So you might want to think of it in this term.

All that man can do to you is kind of like when the umbilical cord in your life was cut.

And everything else in your life is how the time is with God.

In other words, it's a very small amount of time that anybody can do anything.

And what we need to do is recognize three things off the bat.

Number one, you and I do not live for the audience.

We live for the author.

God created the universe.

The dude can write a book.

We live for him.

And we do it without reservation.

Number two, other people's opinions about us mean nothing.

You know, everybody has an opinion.

It's just not always right.

Everybody has a take.

It's just not always right.

Do you want to go by the majority of the world's opinion, or do you want to go by God's opinion?

Keeping in mind James 4.

4 that a friend of the world is an enemy of God, you live for the author.

You don't live for other people's opinions.

What man can do 60, 70, 80 years max, God has eternity that he's offering, and there is nothing that can compare to that.

And when we trust in the Lord and put our faith in the Lord and put our confidence in the Lord again, the power of fear starts to lose its grip.

And then, after all, second Timothy 1:7 says, God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.

You have a sound mind.

By the way, that in the Greek is saz friend, which means safe thinking.

You have safe thinking when you don't give in to fear.

And he goes on to say this.

I mean, is this just unbelievable stuff?

David says this, and this will blow some people away.

Verse 12.

Vows made to you are binding upon me, O God.

I will render praise to you.

You're sitting there saying, well, we're not supposed to make vows.

This is not a vow that everybody.

That people are making.

The way that you think of a vow is, this is David making a commitment, a lifelong commitment to render praise.

And God allows him to make that commitment because that's a righteous commitment.

And what does David say?

He says, here it is.

He says, I made a vow that binding upon me, I will render praises to you.

Instead of telling God what he's not doing right, which is nothing, because he does everything right.

Or let me rephrase that.

Instead of telling God what he's doing wrong, why don't you just acknowledge he's perfect at what he does?

And if you don't think so, you don't have faith.

If you don't think so, you're not operating in the truth.

How about that?

Ooh, that's just mean, Dave.

Yeah, that is.

And King David says, I will render praise to you for.

And then he gives the reason.

You've delivered my soul from death.

You have kept my feet from falling that I might walk before you in the light of the living.

David acknowledges God has saved me from death.

You know what?

God has saved you and I multiple times for death.

We don't even know it.

The Bible says, safety is of the Lord.

God has saved your life time and time again.

God has not only saved our lives, he's kept us from falling.

Do you know how many times I would have fallen if the grace of God did not hold me up?

I can't count.

Not only that, not only is that a reason to praise him.

He's delivered us from death.

He's delivered us from Falling.

He's also delivered us from being defeated.

We have victory in Jesus, our Savior forever.

Not only that, but he's given us the ability to walk in the light.

Guess what?

You are not stuck in darkness.

That should be like the main reason to get up in the morning and go, hey, I'm saved.

I'm going to live forever.

Forever with God.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

I mean, that should be our attitude.

And he gets to see the light in the land of the living.

He gets to enjoy God now and later.

He's given these six reasons right off the bat.

Let's see.

You've been awesome to me.

You've delivered me from death.

You've kept me from falling.

You've kept me from being defeated.

You enabled me to see the light and walk in the light.

You've enabled me to do it in the land of the living.

Thanks.

I'm going to give my vow of thanks and praise to you because you have brought me through all of it.

And I'll just say this to you real quickly and you can just answer it yourself.

Has God brought you through all of it?

If he didn't, you wouldn't be listening to my voice.

Uh oh.

Stop using that logical stuff, Dave.

These are truths and we need to operate in the truth.

Yesterday was quite a passion show and many people responded saying, wow, needed that, needed that.

What's important for us to understand is that God is trying to help us walk closer to Him.

And when we walk closer to him and when we're connected to him and when we draw near to Him, Scripture is clear.

James 4, 8.

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you and that will bring more of God in your life.

Let me make this clear.

This is the entire next 60 minutes.

The answer is more of God.

And you keep thinking, no, I got to do this.

No, you don't.

I talked to my son for 46 minutes yesterday.

We were talking and he's just amazed how God is moving him closer and closer.

And I told him, that's the gift of God, making you understand that he is the answer to everything.

The answer has never been government.

It's never been a small G.

It's been the creator of the universe.

And the more we depend on him, the more we actually live.

That's the irony behind it.

That's the awesomeness behind it.

A vow of praise because of all these awesome things could not possibly pay God back for all the awesome things he's done for each one of us.

Wow.

Right?

Come on, you know it's true in everything.

Give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Wow.

All right, we'll take our break, although I don't need to.

We'll take our break and then we'll come back.

You're listening to the David Spoon Experience right here on KAM 770, the Truth Station here in Texas.

Right here on K Double am, the David Spoon Experience.

Teaching Time.

I don't know how we're going to do the breaks, Gabriel, so just look at me.

I'll let you know.

I mean, this is the best I can tell you because I'm going to teach you something that I hope there's no way I can teach this.

I can't teach the worth.

I can't teach the value.

But I'm going to do my best to share with you my heart in this process.

As American people, as people who live in America, we have been granted the right to pursue happiness and I want to make sure you understand what this means.

We have a preamble to United States Declaration of Independence and the Preamble to the Declaration says we hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, and that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Now, I do want to point out it does not say life, liberty and the provisions of or for happiness.

In other words, the rights that we have in the preamble is that we get to pursue happiness, not that it's provided for us by the government.

So that's kind of an important point for people to recognize.

It would be not if they quit trying to quote our Founding Fathers and then say they're entitled to something because of that provision, because it never says that.
