Join Dr. David Spoon as he delves into the importance of recognizing and remembering the blessings and experiences we’ve had in our spiritual journeys. Emphasizing that God speaks to everyone, regardless of social status or position, David highlights how the Lord's messages often come to those in humble circumstances, like John the Baptist in the wilderness. Throughout the show, he encourages listeners to keep the memories of God’s faithfulness close to their hearts, sharing personal anecdotes and biblical insights. As we approach the weekend, David intertwines encouragement with thought-provoking questions, inviting listeners to reflect on their own experiences with God. Prepare for a blend of biblical wisdom, personal revelations, and uplifting conversation that aims to inspire and connect with all who tune in.

Listeners are treated to a rich tapestry of faith-driven insights and personal stories as Dr. David Spoon navigates the complexities of divine favor and human experience. The essence of the discussion revolves around the idea that favor is not something earned through worldly means, such as appearance or success, but is bestowed upon individuals through their relationship with God. Dr. Spoon utilizes biblical references to illustrate that our true worth is defined by our identity in Christ, not by societal standards. This message resonates as he encourages listeners to recognize their inherent value and the source of their joy, particularly as the holiday season approaches.

Dr. Spoon’s engaging narrative captures the heart of the Christian experience, emphasizing the importance of remembrance in faith. He discusses the tendency to overlook past blessings in the face of new challenges, advocating for a mindset that celebrates God’s faithfulness. This is underscored by poignant anecdotes that highlight the power of prayer and the transformative nature of remembering God’s past interventions in one’s life. Throughout the episode, listeners are invited to reflect on their journeys, encouraging a deeper connection with their faith and an appreciation for the small victories that often go unnoticed.

As the episode progresses, the interactive segment featuring trivia questions adds a delightful layer of engagement, allowing listeners to test their biblical knowledge while feeling connected to a larger community. Dr. Spoon’s humor and warmth create an atmosphere of encouragement, reinforcing the notion that God speaks to everyone, regardless of their status or circumstances. By sharing the story of John the Baptist, who received his calling in the wilderness, Dr. Spoon inspires listeners to embrace their unique paths, reminding them that God can and does work through ordinary people. The episode culminates in a powerful call to action, urging listeners to remain steadfast in their faith and to share their experiences with others, thus creating a ripple effect of encouragement and hope.

Takeaways:

• The source of true favor and happiness comes from a heavenly place, not from worldly measures.
• Maintaining a diligent awareness of God's past blessings helps us navigate present challenges.
• As we approach Christmas, remember that God speaks to the humble, not just the powerful.
• It's essential to share testimonies of God's faithfulness to keep our spirits encouraged.
• In moments of wilderness, God's presence and guidance are still available to us.
• The act of remembering and sharing our spiritual journeys strengthens our faith and community.

And now for something completely different.

Here's what's coming up this hour on Today's Experience.

It's fantastic.

Phenomenal, always fun, usually somewhat fascinating.

Friday as we head into the weekend, not being afraid, even if the earth gives way or the mountains fall into the seas, because our help comes from the Lord.

First, it's Friday, so It's time for Dr.

Dave's Devotional Diamonds of the day.

And we have a couple of real goodies lined up.

The first one we're going to talk about is that there is a single place where your favor comes from.

A single place.

It's not from the mirror.

It's not from your scales.

The place of your favor comes from heaven.

What the Lord wants you and me to know is that while things always make us smile and make us happy at times, we do have some in between times.

And the Lord has instructions for us to recognize how to handle those in betweens.

Next, the very next lesson we're going to examine is God's commandment is to keep our soul diligently, carefully, thoughtfully and continually so that we do not forget the things that our eyes have seen.

It's easy for Christians to have a massively awesome engagement with God and then in the next breath forget and then just brace themselves for the next storm instead of recognizing the victory.

But the Scripture commands us not to let that happen.

And finally, we're going to close this week's teaching with a simplistic yet profound communication from God.

As we're closing in on Christmas, we recognize that when the message came about with Jesus Christ being born, it came to the shepherds.

The shepherds were not exactly the higher ups.

God does not need us to be the super powerful in society to speak to us.

He doesn't need us to take him to our leaders.

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 Kam 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, we've told you all so many times.

I mean I don't know how many more times we can tell you it's not professional radio.

And just to make sure you understand that it's not professional radio, we'll talk to the top gun of professional radio, the maverick of professional radio, our very own Jam and Jacob.

Jam and Jacob is the David Spoon experience.

Professional radio.

No, it is not David.

And I was thinking about.

I didn't do it.

I was thinking about singing Danger Zone coming into after the introduced me there.

Isn't that a good one?

We need to see next week's.

I already have that one.

I already have one for next week.

It's a cartoon, but you'll understand it.

All right, so here it is.

It's not professional radio.

It's just radio.

I mean, so what?

So it's radio.

It's cool, it's fun, it's interesting, it's just.

It's fascinating.

It's a lot of faith.

A lot more faith than you think.

We're asking you, though, what do you think?

Now you can email us during the show.

David must increase.org that's David must increase.org you can text during the show if it's not the replay.

So right now it's not the replay at 1:00 in the morning, it'll be the replay right now.

Awesome sauce.

Talking to Jam and Jacob is like heading into the weekend.

Hello.

Thank you, David.

Happy Friday.

Happy heading into the weekend.

Happy heading into the weekend.

They're just.

We're just firing up.

I don't know what's going on.

Last couple of days, though.

I feel like the Lord's lit a fire.

I'm like, yeah.

How much coffee have you drank?

You sound fired up.

I only had one cup of coffee and I'm having tea.

It's deep caffeinated tea.

Although I am trying a new tea.

It's a pumpkin spice, actually.

It's pretty good.

I'm pretty surprised, but.

Because I like more of the other weirder flavors.

But, yeah, I don't know.

I don't know what's going on.

Just gonna keep rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling Keep them doggies rolling Ride.

That's what we're doing okay.

So here's the bottom line.

The bottom line is simply this.

You can email us, you can text us, you can call us.

Why would you do that?

For a praise report?

Because it is awesome.

It is really awesome to hear.

It is awesome to hear the things that the Lord is doing.

The graces, the gifts, the mercies.

And I know it sounds weird, and I like hearing all of them, but I like the little ones, too, because they remind me that the Lord is operating in our lives in the littlest things, the things that we consider less important.

The Lord is operating deeply in those things.

And you think, well, how can you say that?

How do you know that?

Because Jesus made it clear that God counts the very hairs on your head.

And there's not one of us, and I don't have any hair.

But he knows the follicles.

He knows everything.

Not one of us.

He doesn't know every minute detail.

And if it touches us and it's important to us, it touches and is important to God.

That's what you have to remember.

That's how connected he is to you.

Remember when the church was going through the persecution and Jesus confronted Saul before he became the apostle Paul?

He told him, you're persecuting me.

But see, Saul was persecuting the church people, but Jesus saw it as persecuting him.

Him by saying, you're touching them, you're touching me.

That's his connection.

So just think of it in those terms.

I love those kind of things.

If you want to share a praise report, doesn't matter if it's a massive thing or a small thing.

It's all of that's good.

Maybe you've got a prayer request.

You just got to figure out how to get through the fire.

Just got to get through this next financial hump.

Got to get through this next situation.

Got to pay the rent, got to pay the mortgage, got to pay the health bill, got to pay whatever they say.

Yeah, I know.

I totally, totally, totally get it.

But I totally, totally believe that God takes the little that we have and multiplies it and makes it go further.

That's what we count on it for.

If you need that kind of prayer, let's pray it.

You got something you want to share because it's on your heart, because the Lord's put a scripture, put an idea, put this concept about, you know, maybe just spending time with him, share it.

It's great stuff.

Maybe you got an answer to Bible trivia.

The last trivia question had to do with at what Age Isaac married Rebekah.

Now listen to this.

Here's the next trivia question after that.

How old was Isaac when Jacob and Esau were born?

So Isaac married Rebekah when he was 40.

How old was he when he had kids with her?

How old was Isaac when Jacob and Esau were born?

Or you can send an email.

David must increase.org One thing I do want to remind you of, I talked about it last, the last little bit in the first 30 minute portion.

We have signed the board with board approval.

We have signed another contract.

Wow.

We have signed another contract to move forward for another year doing the radio show on KAM 770 from 1:30 to 3.

So we're closing in on six years.

And now we signed a contract that will help us close in on seven years.

Wow.

Isn't that amazing?

It's just amazing to me.

Anyway, all right, we do have somebody ready to answer the trivia question.

And so therefore.

Is that right?

And so we will give them an opportunity to answer.

Let's send them on through.

Knock, knock.

This is David.

Who am I talking to?

What you gonna do?

Mr.

Sander or Mr.

Spoon?

Mr.

Sander, how are you, bro?

How are you?

Hey.

Good.

It's great to hear your voice.

It really is great to hear your voice.

You ready?

I'm going to set you up and then we'll go and see how things are going.

Okay?

Ready for the Triv?

Yes, sir.

All right.

Now we know that Isaac was 40 when he married Rebecca.

But when did they have kids?

How old was Isaac when Jacob and Esau was born?

Well, me to the end.

40 more years.

So you'll be 80 year old.

Okay, but what if it was half of that?

40?

Okay.

Minus 20, so 60.

That is correct.

Abundant.

But I find it fascinating because what the scripture says is that Rebecca was bugging.

Let me say it really nice.

Rebecca was bugging Isaac because she wanted to have children.

But it was 20 years, 20 years before he had kids.

It's like it's a long time to be bugging somebody about having kids.

And he's like, okay, okay, sure.

And 20 years later, God Goes okay now.

Wow.

That's a long time to be praying, right?

She got her twins.

Yeah, that's right.

You got double the answer, right?

Love it.

How are you doing, brother?

What's taking place with you?

I'm doing okay.

Just keep praying.

Yeah?

Anything in particular?

Pray for my health.

What's that?

Pray for my health.

Your health.

Okay.

We're going to pray for you right now.

Sure.

You ready?

Yes, sir.

All right.

Get ready to receive.

Do you hear me?

Be ready to receive.

Heavenly Father, we come before you right now, and we lift up our brother Samson to you.

And we ask Lord God, from top to bottom.

He's feeling run down.

Doesn't have the energy he feels he's supposed to have.

Doesn't know what's going on.

Sometimes the devil's using that to creep against him and to attack him.

Lord God Almighty, pour your energy into Samson.

Let him be ready to receive.

Let him be receiving.

Let him be.

Yep.

I just know the Lord is answering this, Lord.

Pour it upon him and let him receive it.

And find the bounce that he's looking for in his step so that, Lord, he can glorify your name.

Testify.

God is giving me strength.

Let him testify.

Let him declare it and pour it upon him and manifest it to your glory and your glory alone.

This is what we pray.

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

Amen and amen.

Amen and amen.

Shabbat shalom, everyone.

Thank you, brother.

God bless you.

I have a quick question for you.

Okay.

Which one is the faster, Hot or cold?

I know that answer, but I'm going to let you tell it because I do know the answer.

You tell me.

All right.

You know what?

Hot is faster because you can catch a cold.

You got it?

That's why you're a doctor.

That's really good, brother.

Love you, brother.

I love you.

Everyone at the Davidson Experience family.

God bless you, my brother.

God bless.

Bye, bye, Bye, bye.

All right.

Great to hear from Samson.

Okay.

All right, here we go.

DNA.

Still doing DNA.

People like DNA.

Still doing it.

DNA doing DNA.

Why?

We need DNA.

That's why.

Here we go.

D.

Draw closer to the Lord daily.

You know, I just.

I know I harp on it.

I know I do it, so don't misunderstand.

But I don't just do it to tell you.

I remind myself.

I've been really diligent in spending time with the Lord on a regular basis, and I have never spent time with the Lord.

Not once, not one time.

So I've been a Christian for 40.

So going on 47 years.

I've been a Christian for a while.

Not long enough, but still getting up there.

I've never regretted one single time ever spending time with the Lord.

I've always come out better from it always doesn't matter.

And I was telling Noel today, so I'm reading this translation.

It's the Berean Standard Bible.

It's actually the Berean Study Bible.

Berean Standard Bible.

And it's a different version.

And it's kind of an interesting cross between the new King James and the niv.

Kind of a cross between those.

And I'm just getting more out of this last Bible.

Read more.

I stop when I'm reading and you just talk to the Lord.

Just go, wow, you did that?

That's amazing.

I don't know.

I don't understand how to do that.

All that stuff.

Just talk to him, just commune with him, just fellowship with him.

Draw closer to him.

Just like you would with any other person.

Talking and listening and sharing and just being in the room with them.

Sometimes being in the room with the Lord and saying nothing but just making sure, lord, here I am before you.

Be still and know that I am God.

There's sometimes it's so empowering for your walk.

I encourage you to make it your priority because it will set everything else right.

Draw closer to the Lord daily.

D and never be ashamed of Jesus or his words.

Never.

Never.

And yes, they're going to try and shame you.

And who cares?

No, no, this is where you take the stand.

You know, we just talk about, well, that's not the hill you want to die on.

That's not the hill you want to die.

This is the hill you want to die on.

Never be ashamed of Jesus or his words.

And Jesus is called the Word of God.

Because that's Jesus.

Get it?

Never be ashamed of the Word of God.

Never be ashamed of Jesus.

D Draw closer to the Lord daily.

And never be ashamed of Jesus or his words.

A Always be ready to serve.

I was reading in First Peter, chapter one today, and he talks about having your mind ready for action.

I just love it.

Ready.

What do you want, Lord?

I'm here, I'm available.

Maybe the Lord wants nothing.

That's fine.

But being there, being ready.

What can I do?

Can I do anything?

I am presenting myself before just being on that, recognizing that the way you live your life, when you consider your life and you think about all the things you need to do for yourself.

If you take care of other people and other things for the kingdom, God will take care of that which concerns you.

Now, would you rather have God taking care of your stuff or you there?

That's a fair question.

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

A Always be ready to serve.

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.

The David Spoon Experience.

I am such a sinner.

Not just a sinner.

I am such a sinner.

I'm like the biggest sinner ever.

That's how I felt.

And then it was the understanding that God really cared about me.

And therein lies the key.

Because God did care.

He does care.

And that's the same for you.

You're listening to me.

He does care.

And that pain you're going through, it makes him weep.

And you might say, well, you can't back that up spiritually or scripturally.

Yes, I can.

John, chapter 11, verse 35.

Jesus wept not for Lazarus.

Lazarus was getting up in five minutes.

But all the grief and the pain around him, Come on.

God has a heart.

His heart's bigger than your heart.

So here's part of the things that I'm skipping.

I'm skipping light years.

I'm just going past it.

But it's like when that guy started crying and I started getting mad and then he said it was, this is how the Lord feels for you, and this is the Lord's heart for you.

It just showed me.

I'm so hard hearted.

I'm like.

I'm like, I'm like a rock, but not in a good way.

You know, I'm like a.

Like a dumb rock.

Like, oh, man, what's the matter with me?

And so you know what he did when he was done doing that?

Because now I'm gone, right?

Because now you.

How do you think after.

After that happens, how do you think I feel?

Okay, so now I'm like, please pray for me.

That's right.

Because I'm just lost.

And he prays for me.

And it's powerful.

It's like, you know, it's unbelievable.

It's just really, really, really powerful.

Here's the thing that leads up to it.

Now I ready because.

And that is the powerful point.

Especially when he cried.

But it turns out that I went to that church for a little while.

You Want to hear something absolutely positively mind blowing?

Amazing.

Three months later on a Sunday night, was preaching in that church and I was preaching Romans 1:16, the very first thing I ever taught in my life in that church.

And Pastor David Huntsworth Church, Abundant Life in Dillon, Colorado.

And I'll tell you one thing that I hope you really hear and that is that one experience so affected me.

I was never the same person again.

It just showed me that God really does care.

We're pretty hard hearted.

Yeah, we're kind of.

We're meshuggie from time to time.

Not God.

He's totally awesome.

On Christ the solid rock, I stand all of us.

Oh.

Welcome back to the David Spoon Experience.

Thank you for joining us here at KAM 770, the Truth Station here in Texas.

That's KAAM N770, the Truth Station here in Texas.

Here's your next trivia question.

A little more challenging.

These next two are going to be a little more challenging.

I'm just telling you ahead of time.

What affliction did Isaac suffer in his old age?

He had something going on that really affected him.

Genesis 27:1.

What affliction, what disadvantage did Isaac suffer from in his older age?

Specifically, just before he dropped his blessings, which initially was supposed to be for Esau, but then Jacob kind of snuck in there.

What was the affliction or the disaster he was going through?

If you think you know, you are welcome to reach out to us.

Let's see, what is our number?

9 7.

It's good for me to know the phone number for the show.

Or you can send an email.

David, that's David crease.org I do want you guys to be aware that if you have any desire to have any of the books or anything that we've got from the ministry, whether it's bumper stickers or little business cards or brochures or any of the books, you just gotta go to the website, let us know you want them and we will get them for you.

They don't cost you anything.

If you can't afford them, just that's it.

We don't charge for the bumper stickers, the brochures or the business cards.

But if you want a book and you can't afford it, tell us, we will get it for you.

Send it to you.

No cost.

It's not the world's greatest book, but they're encouraging, and that's kind of where we're heading in everything that we do.

Okay, all right, your trivia question.

What is it that Isaac suffered from in his old age that made things difficult for him, specifically when he was supposed to be doing the blessing for Esau, as Jacob kind of snuck in there?

Genesis 27:1.

Do we have somebody ready to answer?

We do have somebody ready to answer the trivia question.

Let's send them on through.

Knock, knock.

This is David.

Who am I talking to?

And a fine good afternoon to you, my brother in Christ.

This is J.D.

hey, J.D.

how you doing?

How you doing, my Bic?

How are you?

Well, I couldn't think of any wise answer on this, so that's what I've been racking my brain about.

But.

Oh, well, okay.

All right.

I'm not doing great today.

I'm sorry.

That's okay.

That's all right.

Let me set it up for you.

You know what's amazing about this show is that people call in and then they have their own jokes.

You know that, right?

I mean, that's one of the most bizarre things about our show.

It's, like, so weird.

All right, what affliction did Isaac suffer from in his old age when he was supposed to give the blessing for Esau, but his brother kind of snuck in there.

What was his sufferings that made these things difficult for him?

According to Genesis 27:1.

And Esau was very hairy, and his brother got some lamb skin or lamb's wool put on the back of his hand because he was blind.

That is correct.

He could not see.

And because of that, there was some shenanigans going on there.

Although ironically, and most people have a hard time with this, the Lord was the ultimate organizer of that entire process.

Even though people don't like that.

That was all part of the divine plan to get who needed to get the blessing and how it needed to come about.

Sometimes the Lord allows goofy things for his stuff to come about.

Right?

He already had things planned out 2,000 years in advance.

That's exactly.

Exactly right.

We go through things in our own life, and, you know, the Lord's going, you know, I have this covered, but okay, I just think that's classic.

I got it.

I gotta tell you what you're on.

You'll appreciate it.

One of my funniest things.

Donkey.

Donkey.

The pet detective.

Saul thought he was looking for donkeys.

God was sending out a king.

It's like the best line.

It's like, that's hilarious.

I'm driving right now.

I apologize.

No, that's okay.

I'll just listen to the show.

All right, my brother.

God bless you, Christmas.

Thank you.

Merry Christmas to you too.

All right, so what I was talking about is, so Saul, before he became the king, they lost donkeys at the house and he was sent out to find the donkeys.

So he was like a pet detective trying to find donkeys.

But God had told Samuel, I'm sending you the king.

On one hand, it looked like lost donkeys.

On the other hand, God was sending a king.

And you can make whatever you want from that.

Excellent job by J.D.

by the way.

Let's get back into it.

We do have to do our Jake's take, so let's get that taken care of real quickly.

Jake's take.

All right, my friend, the floor is yours.

Well, David, a congratulations to your Detroit Lions.

What a game last night against the Green Bay Packers.

I didn't watch all of it, but I did see the ending.

So how about that ending was a phenomenal, phenomenal ending.

I was texting with my son in law who's from Green Bay.

Oh, that was fun.

And I said, this is going to go another 20 minutes because there was only three minutes left.

And he goes, no, it won't, because only three minutes left.

And I said, how long you been watching football?

Which is the only thing you can always have to drag it out, right?

And it went another 22 minutes, ironically, which I thought was hilarious.

And then the Detroit coach went for it.

Nobody thought he was going to go for it.

They thought he was going to kick it.

They thought they were fooling.

And even the Detroit quarterback fell during that play.

Fell and fell down, but they still managed to pick up the first down and move forward and kick the winning field goal.

So that was quite the victory for the Lions.

Thank you very much.

So that's kind of like the Lions this year, right?

Because they had the close Thanksgiving game and you're thinking, oh, here come the Lions losing on Thanksgiving.

And then it didn't happen.

And then the quarterback stumbles before he hands it off.

You're thinking, oh, here come the Lions.

It's going to be a disaster here.

No, it ends up working out and the Lions win a close game.

Yeah, it was excellent.

Excellent.

What do we have coming up on this weekend or on Monday night?

Well, the Cowboys actually play on Monday nights at home in Arlington against the Cincinnati Bengals.

So do you want to give our picks now?

For the.

For that game on Monday.

How good are the Bengals?

Are they pretty good?

Are they not.

They're.

They're not very good this season, which is surprising because the last couple of seasons, they've been good.

They.

They made the super bowl not too long ago, so.

All right, I'm going to go with the Cowboys.

I am, too.

I am also going to go with the Cowboys because I believe that they're starting to do a little bit of a turnaround and gaining a little momentum.

So I'm not burning my shirt.

I'm standing firm.

And, my friend, that's good to know.

No shirt burning.

No shirt burning.

And, Sergio, I am with you on this one.

Okay.

All right, cool.

All right.

Good job, my brother.

Thank you.

All right.

Deuteronomy 2.

7 says this.

For the Lord, your God has blessed you in all that you have done.

Stop.

The next part of the verse.

He has known your wanderings through this great wilderness.

First and foremost, I want you and I, if we can, it would be good.

I would like to do a better job of this, and so I'm confessing this to you.

I would like to recognize that every blessing that I have received has come from God beyond the breath element, which you cannot escape, which means that God gives you a breath that's a gift.

In everything that has gone in a favorable context.

For me in the last, probably my entire life, it is because of heaven, and it is because of the hand of God.

And because of that, I need to remember that he knows my wanderings through the great wilderness and what I do.

And I don't know if you guys do this.

I do this a lot.

So again, I'm confessing it to you is I will have a victory in the Lord.

Something will happen, and it was great, or it's grace, or I've prayed for something and it's manifested.

And then I quickly gear up for the next challenge, and I don't reflect a lot on the victory as much as brace for the next storm.

Now, I assume to some degree, I'm not the only Christian who's doing this, but what the Lord wants us to keep in mind is every time he's blessed, he's never failed to bless us, and he knows that we're going through these wanderings.

He knows we're going through different times and difficult times.

But because he's been so faithful in the past, it behooves us, it requires us, it demands of us that we have a steadfast faith that he who has been faithful will be faithful.

And we don't have to dance a certain way or do some kind of trick for God or do some kind of magic thing or have the exact saying say it perfectly or think it perfectly, do everything perfectly.

We need to recognize that the blessings that we have received come because God is gracious and generous for each one of us.

Each one of us.

And we don't have to perform for him to get us through, but we do need to remember that he has been faithful always and will be faithful still.

And so while you're going through that time, instead of going, how am I going to get through this?

This is a tough thing.

Maybe we should have more of the you have never failed me before and you're not going to fail me here attitude, because God is faithful and he will not disappoint us.

Now.

We disappoint ourselves.

I mean, I'm not arguing.

But God has never failed us.

And those that put their hope in him, the Bible says, will never be disappointed.

So instead of going through some of those tougher times of wilderness going, how's he going to do it?

Let's stand with he's always been faithful and he will not change Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.

And we can count on Him.

Okay.

All right, we'll take our break and then we will come back.

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

Who is David Spoon?

I have no idea.

People have asked me about the David Spoon Experience.

They wanted to know what I thought of him.

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

He was born and raised Jewish and after intense drug use became a Christian.

He's married to his best friend Noel, has three children, six grandchildren and a dog named Bert.

He has three separate ordinations from three different denominations and is a summa cum laude for his BA Degree in ministry and leadership as well as a master's degree of Theological Studies and has his doctorate of Strategic Christian Ministry.

He has a weird sense of humor and talks a lot.

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.

And those big ears really don't help him.

But would they enjoy his perspective on life, culture, politics, food, sports, local and national news?

I don't know.

I guess people will have to listen to find out.

You think it's bad like this?

My wife has to put up with this every day.

So she has learned to completely tune me out.

And then I'll say something.

I'll say, did you hear me say that?

She goes, no, I.

I just heard you talking.

That's right.

I love you, honey.

Welcome back to the David Spoon Experience.

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

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

Here's your next trivia question.

Oh, so we've done three in a row on Isaac.

Here is number four and a much tougher one.

Here's the tough one for the time.

Here it is.

How old was Isaac when he died?

Genesis 35, 28.

How old was Isaac when he died?

Genesis chapter 35, verse 28 is your reference point.

I will just simply say I'm just saying it this way.

I'm very excited about that.

Very excited to continue working with Don and continue doing all this stuff with Jennifer and with Jacob and for the station and for the audience.

So we could use lots of prayer and lots of money.

That's the nicest way to put it because we just committed to 12 more months of radio rent.

We're crazy anyway.

If you can give, great.

If not, don't worry about it.

But there are a lot of cool things on the website, including a place to put personal prayer requests or praise reports if you want to make them public, but you don't want to read it or tell it on the air, we do that for you.

Check it out on the website.

He must increase.org prayer request.

He must increase.org praise report.

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

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

He must increase.org he must increase.org if you're blue and you don't know where to go to, why don't you?

Where fashion sits.

Sitting at the Ritz.

I love it.

See, now that's two.

So we had Spaceballs and now Young Frankenstein.

Oh, my goodness.

This could be a tough weekend for me.

First we got to do our 3D movie.

Okay, so we've asked the question, how old was Isaac when he died?

We do have somebody on the line ready to answer a trivia question.

Let's send them on through.

Knock, knock.

This is David.

Who am I talking to?

Dr.

Sponge.

This is Fred.

Hello, Fred.

How are you, my brother?

I'm doing fine, sir.

It's great to hear your voice, my friend.

And I hope you're having a phenomenal day.

Hope you're doing well.

I'm doing well.

Awesome.

All right, let me set you up.

How old was Isaac when he died?

To be direct, Isaac was 180 years old.

That is correct, Amanda.

Sir.

That is exactly right.

180 years old.

So after he had kids, he had another 120 years.

Wow.

Lots of years.

Lots of years.

I'm sitting there thinking, no, no, that's not how it is now, is it?

Absolutely not.

Excellent, excellent, excellent, brother.

Very, very, very good job.

Really appreciate it.

God bless you and have a nice weekend.

All right.

You too.

You too, my brother.

You too.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Bye, bye, bye.

All right, let me hit to this next.

Always great to hear from Fred, too.

So I love it.

You got some cool people.

I just love it.

All right, Deuteronomy 4.

9.

I'm not going to take a lot of time because my last teaching is the most important teaching.

But I do want to hit in on this.

So we just talked about making sure you understand that God catches it, gets it while we're going through those wilderness.

Now listen to.

That's Deuteronomy 2.

7.

Now listen to Deuteronomy 4.

9.

That's why I'm happy for Sergio, because he's getting into the Deuteronomy.

Listen to this.

Only give heed to yourself and keep your soul diligently so that you do not forget the things which your eyes have seen, and they do not depart from your heart all the days of your life, but make them known to your sons and your grandsons.

It's really important for us, when we just talked about this, about hanging onto and remembering.

And here you have it again, two chapters later.

Two chapters and another two verses later, he's saying the very same thing, just saying it in a little different text.

Do not forget the things that your eyes have seen.

You have seen God move in your life, period.

And you can't tell me you wouldn't even be listening to a show like this if you didn't.

And if you are a person who's not made that full commitment of Christ, you already know God has done things in your life.

That's why you're listening to the show, because you're like, this is so fascinating.

And what the Lord is telling us is, don't forget those things which you have seen.

What the devil does is he tries to rationalize those things away.

He tries to get us to forget what God has done to get our eyes off of what the Lord has done.

He tries to distance us from that.

Do you ever feel that you get that impression that you're walking and you know the Lord's done something fabulous and you just.

Oh, you're just so jazzed.

And then not long after, you're just feeling far away from it?

Well, the enemy's trying to distance you from it.

And the Lord's the one saying you have to keep seeing that.

You have to remember that there are things that you need to forget.

Zero question about that.

There are things that all of us need to let go of and forget, Right?

Anything that draws you down and hurts you or affects your relationship with God or other people, and it's drawing you downward.

That stuff you Got to let go of.

But there are some things you never let go of.

And those are the things that the Lord is trying to encourage us to see and to remember.

And not only are we not supposed to forget it, but the things that our eyes have seen, they can't depart from what we've seen or from our heart, which means the impact they had on us.

Remember when the Lord answered your prayer.

And I'm just going to use it because I know people get upset.

Ooh.

Dave's going to talk about feelings and how it made you feel when the Lord answered your prayer.

Well, that's what it means to not let it depart from your heart.

Don't let it depart from you.

It shook you to the core.

It blessed you to the core.

It made your feet tingle.

You were just like, wow, I'm in touch with the supernatural.

Don't forget that.

Don't let it depart from you all the days of your life.

In fact, one of the ways that we keep it fresh, that we don't forget and that we keep it as a part of our existence, is we share it.

And that's what he says.

He says, give heed to yourself.

Keep your soul diligently so that you do not forget the things which your eyes have seen and they do not depart from your heart all the days of your life, but make them known to your sons and your grandsons.

One of the ways that we keep things is we share it.

God answered this prayer.

I've shared a thousand times that God delivered me from drugs.

And every time, it reminds me of the grace of God.

Oh, you're special, Dave.

No, I forget 10,000 other things.

I need this probably more than a lot of you, but it helps me grasp that if I share it, I'll keep it.

I'll remember it.

I'll keep it close to me.

I'll let it affect my heart and keep it in my vision, because I'll share it not just with my sons and my grandsons, but anybody.

But this is telling you.

And by the way, look at sons and grandsons, means over time, right?

Your son might be 40.

Your grandson might be 15.

Well, you should be sharing it from the 40 years ago and 15 years ago.

You see, it's a time thing, and you keep sharing it.

That happened 40 years ago.

So what?

Who cares?

It happened.

Your eyes saw it.

Don't let it depart.

Isn't that cool?

Oh, come on.

That's good.

All right, we'll take a 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.

The David Spoon experience.

I'm not going to do an overriding teaching that will make the Baptist or the Church of Christ proud.

So neither one of you groups can be all excited about this because that's not the purpose of this.

Here's where we're picking it up.

As verse 34 ends, the eunuch asked Philip, what was Isaiah talking about, himself or someone else?

Verse 35 from Acts, chapter 9, chapter 8.

Philip says, Philip began with the same scripture and then began to tell him about the good news about Jesus.

As they rode along, they came to some water.

And the eunuch said, look, there is some water.

Why can't I be baptized?

So let's just stop right there.

When Philip was explaining the gospel to the eunuch, he had to include the understandings or the teachings of baptism, or the eunuch never would have said, why can't I be baptized?

He never would have said.

It never would have come up unless Philip had brought that information to light.

In multiple translations, it then says, you can.

Philip answered, if you believe with all your heart.

And the eunuch replied, I believe that Jesus.

Jesus Christ is the son of God.

This is often known as believer's baptism.

Some texts will show this in the footnote.

I disagree that it should be reduced to the footnote.

I think it's a part of the text.

I would not fellowship with you over that.

I just think it is a part of the text because he asks a very pointed question.

And in this exchange, Philip is giving a very pointed answer.

So he's like, well, there's some water.

I want to be baptized.

I want to respond to the gospel.

I want to say yes.

And Philip responds by saying, you can.

You can get baptized.

As long as you believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, you can be baptized.

Now, why that's important is because this is the difference between many different groups about who can be baptized.

Some people think, well, a child can be baptized, yeah, but a child can't believe in Jesus.

So then how can a child be baptized?

That's the argument.

Okay, those, again, those are not fellowship issues.

Those are disagreements.

You know, we spent.

I spent 10 minutes talking about understanding who's got the spirit of God and who doesn't have the spirit of God.

When you have a difference of application of scripture, that person's not an evil person.

They're not some kind of demonic, whatever.

They see something different than you.

Okay.

They're genuinely in a relationship with Jesus Christ.

The blood of Jesus Christ is what redeems us.

They are acknowledging their heavenly father, bringing our Father, who art thou in heaven.

They drink of the same holy spirit.

They come to a different conclusion.

Yeah.

What else is new?

Does everybody think McDonald's is the best fast food?

Are you kidding?

There's only a few people.

Welcome back to the David Spoon Experience.

Thank you for joining us here at KAM 770, the Truth Station here in Texas.

That's KAAM 770, the Truth Station here in Texas.

Your last trivia question.

How many chapters are in the book of Matthew in the Gospel of Matthew?

How many chapters are there in the Gospel of Matthew?

How many chapters?

Or you can send an email.

David must increase.org how many chapters are in the book of Matthew in the Gospel of Matthew?

That is the question.

Jeff has caught the pow pow on that one.

In the meantime, we're going to do a little bit of history.

So let's do that.

Let's go, let's go, let's.

All right, today, for those that do not know, which I think is kind of funny, today is national Microwave Oven Day.

Now, I will say I understand, but I like microwave.

I don't have a problem with that.

Do you.

I mean, do you like, use.

Do you use the microwave a lot?

Oh, all the time.

All the time.

Very, very useful product.

It deserves its own day.

Yeah, I mean, it is very, very useful.

It's also the festival of sweater day, which means all those really super Christmassy, goofy and even the.

I used to have a shirt that said the oi to the world and it's a Yiddish one.

And so any kind of festival sweater like that, that's that kind of day.

It's like, really?

So before what year?

1955.

So before that, for all the years they played, people were just getting beamed.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

That's a little bit dangerous, right?

Waiting till the 50s for you to wear a baseball helmet.

That's crazy.

Right?

People are really upset.

You know, those are really bad.

It's a cartoon about a reindeer with a red nose.

Really?

There's so many other things to deal with.

Seriously.

Okay, some will say it glows, but they didn't like to play with them.

Poor guy.

Anyhow, your trivia question.

How many chapters are in the Gospel of Matthew?

Just keeping that simple.

That's your trivia question.

They're doing some moving stuff.

They just need prayer for safety.

So let's do that real fast.

Father, we just pray for Joanne and Cordelia.

Please bless and encourage and strengthen them and keep them safe.

No more little injuries while they're making moves and doing things.

And protect them and put your angels around them in front and behind to the north, south, east, and west, and bless their time.

We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

Amen.

So the trivia question is out there for how many chapters are in the Gospel of Matthew?

Here's your teaching.

Luke 3.

1, 2.

In the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judah, Herod, the tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip, tetrarch of the region of Ituria and Trichonides, and Licinius, tetrarch of Alabama, during the high priesthood of Enos and Caiaphas, God's word came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

What?

Here's the dealios.

You got all these really fancy guys.

You got Caesar and Pontius Pilate and Herod and Philip, and you got Licinius and Trachonitis and all these guys and Caiaphas and all these really, really, really hotshot guys who are big leaders.

And the Bible says in verse 2, the word of God came to John, the son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

Let me tell you something, people in high positions, that's awesome.

But the word of God doesn't drop on their lap.

It drops on the people's laps that God wants it to.

And when Jesus was born, the choir of angels spoke to shepherds, not kings and queens and princes and royalty.

And here, the most obvious thing, it's just so cool, is God spoke to the lowly nutball John in the desert and not in the Oval Office.

You and I need to stop thinking that God only speaks to people who are super important because that is exactly the opposite of how God operates.

1 Corinthians 1 makes it abundantly clear that God uses the less than brilliant, the less than powerful, the less than noble, the less than phenomenal, the less than influencer, the less than kings and queens to do his kingdom work.

I mean, he used four fishermen to change the world like no other people ever have.

So stop thinking the Lord won't use you.

Of course he'll use you.

Of course he'll speak to you.

He spoke to John in the wilderness, not to other of the fancy people.

It's not a matter of being fancy.

You know what it's a matter of doing?

Listening.

Do you know what it's a matter of doing?

Listening.

Do you know what it's a matter of doing?

Listening.

It's not your position, it's your heart, it's not your title, it's your trembling before the Lord.

God speaks to people in the wilderness.

And by the way, even if you're in the wilderness, hint, hint, hint, God still speaks for those that are in wilderness places.

Just think about that.

Not to the fancy, not to the Oval Office, not to the prime ministers, not to the kings and queens, to this dude out in the wilderness who ate locust and wild honey.

That's who God spoke to.

That should just encourage you to listen.

Get it?

All right.

How many chapters?

He held up the ping ping pong ball.

How many chapters in the Gospel of Matthew?

The answer is 28.

There are 28 chapters in the Gospel of Matthew.

Thank you very much.

All right, folks, you've been listening to the David Spoon Experience right here on Kaam 770, the truth station here in Texas taking a 72 and a half hour break.

Then we'll come back, More insanity with Spoonanity.

Talk to you then.
