And now for something completely different.

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

Expository Thursday.

Expository Thursday Expository Thursday Expository Thursday.

As we work together to know the letter better into the narrative of the Book of Colossians, we travel as we seek to understand what things the Lord requires of us and learn to apply God's timeless truths in our lives.

First, we're going to be picking up in Colossians 1:17, but also backtracking to about verse 13.

And we would do well to remember this.

Colossians is the single most powerful epistle that demonstrates Christology or the study of Christ.

You will hear me say that 30 times during these teachings with the most evidence of his divinity is in this epistle outside of the Gospels themselves.

In the book of Revelation, he is before all things.

He pretty much sums up all things.

He is divine, and by him all things hold together.

So that pretty much answers all questions everywhere.

Next, Jesus is the head of the church, not a man, not even a group of men, not even the apostles.

After the ascension, Jesus is the head of the church.

Let me say that again so people understand that Jesus is the head of the church.

There's no if, ands or buts about it.

He's the beginning.

So remember in the beginning, God.

Don't forget that.

Finally, here's one of the biggie, biggie biggies.

In Jesus, all things are reconciled to God, whether they're things in heaven or things on earth.

It's through Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ alone that the heavens and the earth find peace.

What?

You heard me.

It is true that things in heaven and things on earth, it is through Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ alone that heaven and earth combined can find peace.

A relationship that's active.

And this takes place by the blood of Jesus Christ, which paves a way to connect heaven to earth.

It's not feasible that you can have Jesus and not have everything you need.

But it is feasible to have Jesus and not be open to everything he has in mind for you.

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 wave so much more.

Now, remember, it's not professional radio.

It's just radio.

And we're asking you, what do you think?

So you can email us during the show.

Davidmasincrease.org that's david.org you can text us.

Or you can call us.

That's right.

You can give us a call.

Talking Jacob.

That's the same feeling you get when you're being appreciated.

Aw.

Thank you, David.

Happy Thursday.

Happy Thursday to you, my friend.

I want to point out to everybody that Jacob is doing an excellent, exceptionally good God, good job and have everybody make praying for him as he is doing.

He is.

You just really have emerged into your own, like, world, haven't you?

Do you feel like you've grown in the last year?

Yes, I've definitely grown since I've started here.

I was, I remember the first show doing the board by myself.

I was pretty nervous, but I've come a long way in the past year.

Yeah, I'm glad, and I'm very glad and very blessed that you have moved it along.

So I want you to be aware that when you call, you can say hey and hello and thank you to Jam and Jacob.

But please don't ask him to tell you his life story, starting with day one.

Okay.

Because he's got to run the show.

See how that works?

Okay.

Just making sure everybody gets that.

All right, so here's the other thing I want to tell you.

You're sitting there thinking, okay, well, what are those contact points for?

It is simple.

It's for you to share a praise report with your brothers and sisters in Christ, as JD Likes to say, the BIC Brothers in Christ.

And so the idea behind this is to understand that it doesn't matter if you have different backgrounds.

Stop it.

I mean, at some point, there's got to be more maturity just functioning in our regular lives.

If the Lord has blessed you, share it.

It will bless other Christians and it will bless people who aren't Christians who are listening.

And, yes, they're There we know.

Okay.

Just letting you know so you can also share that as something that the Lord said.

Maybe you've got a prayer request.

You got something you just really like.

Man, oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man.

I just really need this.

I need to get an answer in this.

Cool.

Let's pray.

If any man lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men generously and without finding fault.

James 1:5.

He's not going to tear you apart to give you an answer.

He'll give you an answer because he loves you.

Might be thinking, that's cool.

Maybe you got a scripture or something else you want to share.

Maybe you're just feeling it and you're like, you know what?

I'm Bible ready, man.

I'm Bible ready.

Are you Bible ready?

Maybe you can answer this trivia question.

The hour of prayer according to the temple was the ninth hour.

True or false?

Acts, chapter three, verse one.

The hour of prayer in the temple, that was considered the ninth hour.

True or false.

Acts, chapter three, verse one.

The time considered the hour of prayer at the temple was the ninth hour.

Acts, chapter three, verse one.

If you think, you know, it's just that simple, we'll leave it there.

So there's a lot of things that I do want to cover with you.

We're going to be jumping into the book of Colossians in just a second.

I'm actually going to be backing it up a little bit because there's a couple of things I didn't get to last week that I really want to.

And we'll probably take a little more time going through this.

I also want you to know that introduction that I read from Colossians, just so you can know this ahead of time.

I'm telling you.

So you know, okay, I'm going to use that same introduction a couple of times.

And you're thinking, why would you use that introduction a couple of times?

Because the way Colossians is written, it's applicable a couple of different times.

Isn't that cool?

A little less work for me.

That's okay.

I don't mind.

I'm Just saying.

Okay, got that.

Okay, cool.

All right, let's see.

There's something else I wanted to tell you and now I forgot because I'm older.

Don't forget.

Oh, I got some prayer requests.

Some people are, in fact, traveling like my brother.

So please be in prayer for my brother.

That would be kind of awesome.

Okay, so the trivia question is, and this is according to Acts, chapter three.

So I'm not.

It's not according to anything else.

All right, so I'm not making it up.

It's Acts, chapter three.

What hour of.

In the temple, what hour was considered the hour of prayer?

Which hour is that?

That's the question.

Okay, now keep in mind.

Keep in mind, the ninth hour.

I'm just going to help everybody real quickly.

The first hour starts at 6am so the ninth hour would be 3pm People might want to double check those texts they just sent to me.

Somebody is ready to answer the trivia question.

So, in fact, let's send them on through.

Knock, knock.

This is David.

Who am I talking to?

Hello, David.

This is John.

Hi, John.

How are you?

Oh, I'm doing all right.

Doing all right.

Well, I mean, it's great to hear your voice.

I love hearing your voice.

I love it when you call in.

You're a blessing.

Thank you.

I appreciate you very much, brother.

All right, this is an interesting question because I'm saying, is it the ninth hour?

That's the prayer time.

So that would then the prayer time in the temple.

And then therefore, if it is supposed to be the ninth hour, then that would be 3pm so the question is, is that true or false, that it's 3pm or the ninth hour as the time of prayer in the temple?

That would be true.

You are correct, Amanda, sir.

That is right.

Some people Forget that the first hour was considered 6am and so the ninth hour would then be 3pm and then the nights were broken up into.

Actually, it was based on Roman time counting, but that was broken up in 12 hours, but in shifts.

1, 2, 3, 4 and 1, 2, 3, 4, each being three hours.

So then you would have 6 to 9, 9 to 12, 12 to 3, 3 to 6.

That's how they broke it up back then.

Oh, I didn't know that.

Yeah, it's kind of a fascinating thing, isn't it?

It's kind of interesting.

How art thou, brother?

How can we pray for you?

What can we do to bless you?

Oh, doing okay.

Can't think of anything off the top of my head, but.

But that's good.

So I Mean, I want to pray that the Lord blesses you.

How's your, how's the rest of the family?

How's your children doing?

How's everybody doing for the nola?

I mean, are they moving forward?

Yeah, they're getting away every once in a while and just put our older grandchild in a special school and he's joined that.

Cool.

And so the son's back to work and, you know, when they were at St.

Jude's you know, of course he wasn't getting paid for that time.

And so fortunately St.

Jude doesn't charge anything for, you know, them staying there and the facility and provides food and, you know, so that really worked out.

And so they're back home in Tampa area doing okay.

You know, as far as I can tell, we don't really hear from him too often.

Don't feel too bad about that, John, because I have my son and daughter in law that we moved out here initially for and I talked to my daughter in Covington, Tennessee as often, if not more than I talked to the other.

It's just like they're only an hour away.

It's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Yeah, that's a part of it.

I have to make a confession though.

Sure.

I had to look up that verse.

You know, it's kind of like when I'm doing a crossword puzzle.

I have to peek sometime to.

To get the answer.

I don't know if you do crossword puzzles.

That is great.

Some are brain twisters.

And so I thought, well, I better just check this out.

And so I'm glad you emphasized that was 3:00pm Central Standard Time.

I guess.

So the structure of Hebrew time and the structure of Roman time are not the same.

And so it's just, it's interesting to see in the Gospels how it switches.

It's really kind of funny how it does that.

But technically the ninth hour is 3pm that was the hour of prayer.

Which is funny because it's like, I don't know that I've ever really prayed at 3pm ever in my life, but I'm sure at some point doing something, driving or dodging something, I have.

But outside of that, it's not really one of my time frames.

Well, you know, actually that's the time I go into work.

You might be praying just before you walk in then.

Right, right.

Boy, do I need it.

Well, let me pray over you.

I want to pray.

The Lord bless you.

Okay.

Father come before you right now.

I thank you for my brother John.

He's a blessing And I pray that you would know that he's a blessing and that, Lord, we're blessed by him and we hope we're blessing him and he's blessing us.

And that's how you've designed it.

And we want you to give him just great favor, not just at work, but with the family and with everything he's doing.

And Lord, bless him from heaven with your gracious presence and let him know when it happens this is just because you love him.

Bless him in that special way and let them keep moving forward towards you.

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

Amen and amen.

Oh, amen for sure.

That was a great prayer.

Thank you.

God bless you, brother.

Love you and the Lord, man.

Thanks.

Keep on going now.

All right, brother, I will.

Bye bye.

Bye bye.

Okay.

All right.

Bye bye.

All right, so let's do this.

We'll do our DNA.

Steve is.

I love if you guys know Steve, when he calls in, he's like, no, no.

It could be the first hour, should be a zero hour.

That's not how the Jewish.

Jewish people did it.

But you can argue that DNA D is Draw closer to the Lord daily.

I don't know.

I've checked this out a couple of times.

The best that I can tell from daily is it's every day.

That's the best I can tell.

I could be wrong.

And so every time I look it up, I keep getting the same thing.

You look up at the dictionary and it says, dave, you've looked me up a hundred times.

It's the same answer.

It's every day.

Draw closer to the Lord daily.

Why?

Because you need it.

That's why.

I'm not even going to say any different.

You need it.

You know, the Lord doesn't need it.

You need it.

He's thinking, but I'm drained.

Then you need it even more.

I'm tired.

You need it even more.

I'm frustrated, anxious.

I'm unsure.

I'm doubting you need it more, more, more.

I'm happy you need it more.

I'm grateful you need it more.

You're not going to say one thing that's going to change that.

Draw closer to the Lord daily.

It will benefit you.

And never be ashamed of Jesus or his words.

So I'm not sure if you guys know what's going on because it's not happening here quite the same in America, but it is happening in other places.

People that are quoting scriptures in public formats in different countries are being thrown in jail, even in Wait, wait.

Free speech areas.

Oh, man.

Oh, that's not good, right?

You know what?

They're still doing it.

You want to know why?

They're not ashamed of the word.

Don't you ever be ashamed of the word?

Jesus said, if you're ashamed of me and my words, I'll be ashamed of you when I return in glory.

It's like, whoa, don't want that.

Luke 9:26 D.

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

A.

Always be ready.

To serve.

To serve.

That's right.

And here's the deal on that.

Just be ready.

You never know.

Maybe the Lord will have you do this, that, whatever.

I don't know.

Got in here, got the studio, got all the stuff together.

My notes for the entire day have disappeared.

Where did they go?

Interesting question.

I did not write them on flash paper, so I don't care.

I want to be ready.

And then the Lord will use me in any way.

I'm just presenting myself.

He'll do it.

The big thing is that the Lord uses you if you are available and at the time you need to say something, do something, be something, function in some way, or accomplish something.

It's the Holy Spirit in you that directs you.

You don't run the ministry of God.

You run along with the ministry of God.

Right?

I just keep thinking of that one, Pastor.

I love this thing.

So he was on an airplane and talking to the Lord and why isn't this happening?

Why isn't this happening?

And the Lord said, well, I've seen your ministry.

How would you like to see mine?

Oh, that's so good.

Oh, come on.

I've seen your ministry.

How would you like to see mine?

Wow.

People are like, the Lord didn't say that.

Oh, I think the Lord told him that.

Because after that, a substantially significant ministry emerged with over 2,500 church plants through that.

So I'm going to go, yeah, that probably was the Lord right there.

By their fruits.

All right, folks, 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.

The David Spoon experience.

So in this position, I have the opportunity to interview people and have so for the last five years.

From all across the range of Christianity, from authors and from actors and musicians, we are about to have an opportunity we've never had.

On this show.

We actually have Lee Strobel on the phone with us.

It was 19 years ago, I believe this September 1st, where his book came out, the Case for Christ.

If you're Jewish like I am, and then became a Christian, that was when you went, oy vey.

This book was a life changer for many, and now it's a movie.

Lee, are you there on the phone with us?

I am, David.

How you doing, my friend?

I am doing fantastic.

Thrilled to have you on the show.

It's my privilege.

I'm just.

I just gotta start.

I know they give you a list of questions just so you can know, Lee, I never use them.

So good for you.

It's like, come on, I want to tell you, we're brothers here in the Lord.

Talk to me.

First of all, you wrote this book, the Case for Christ.

Let's first talk about the writing of the book and then we'll talk about that connection to the movie.

Why did you write this book?

Well, I didn't start out to do that.

I mean, I was an atheist.

My wife became a Christian.

So in order to try to rescue her from this Christian cult, I decided to use my journalism training and legal training and disprove Christianity to show that the resurrection never really happened.

Of course, I ended up coming to the opposite conclusion and ended up coming to faith.

But I did this investigation for my own edification, for my own education, not because I want to write a book.

And then it was actually later my wife said to me, hey, you ought to write a book about that.

I really.

She said, sure.

So that's how the book came about.

Welcome back to the David Spoon Experience.

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

That's K double amen.

770, the Truth Station here in Texas.

Your next trivia question.

Now, you're going to have to be maybe a little bit more on top of it for this one.

I think maybe perhaps the Apostle James wrote, is there any among you that are afflicted?

Let him pray.

Is there any Mary among you?

Let him what?

James 5:13.

Is any among you afflicted?

Let him pray.

Is any merry?

Let him.

Ah, what?

What is that answer?

James 5:13, if you think you know, give us a hallah.

Al did get the pow pow.

So I sorry, Al, I forgot to tell you that I usually tell him in text, but sometimes I want to tell him on the air because he gets a lot of pow pows too, him and Joy Ann also.

And then a lot of other people do, like Jeff and James and different people.

So I try to tell you guys when it's happening, okay.

And when they come in the exact same time.

I don't, I don't declare it.

Okay, so your trivia question.

The Apostle James wrote, is there any among you afflicted?

Well, let him pray.

Is there any Mary?

Then let him.

And then what?

James 5:13, if you think you know, you can reach out to us.

In the meantime, we're going to jump into Colossians.

And I want to go back because the reason that I want to go back is because I didn't really hammer on this one point, and I really wish I did.

And after I went through it, I was like, I should have really talked about that.

And here's the point, and I want to make it very clear.

Out of Colossians, chapter 1, verse 10, it says this so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way, bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might.

What I didn't key in on, which I wanted to key in on, and I absolutely should have keyed in on, is that we're bearing fruit in every good work.

Growing in the knowledge of God.

Now, I am not a rocket scientist.

I've already told you, my brother in law is.

He's actually a genuine rocket scientist.

He's been working with JPL for 25 years, I think a long time.

Right here's the bottom line and I've only used that a couple times today.

To grow in the knowledge of God means that we have to epigonosa grow by contact and by engagement with God.

And where is the main source of the knowledge of God?

I know it's that I was talking to my brother about this.

You know, when we were younger and in church, right, you know, the pastor would say, we went to various churches.

The pastor would say, spend time in your Bible and spend time praying.

But they never told us why.

They just said do it.

And it's like, this is the why.

Because when you spend time in the Word and you read the Bible in order to hear God, you will grow in your knowledge of God on not just who he is, but what he sounds like.

And then if the Lord ever speaks to you because you're knowing what he sounds like, you'll know if it's him or not.

That's what's so awesome about the Lord.

He's given a book.

Who wrote the book?

The man wrote the book by partnership with the Holy Spirit.

And as you read that book, you learn what the voice of God sounds like.

And if the Holy Spirit ever directs you, you'll know because you know what he sounds like.

And for people that say the Holy Spirit don't speak, you have not read the Bible.

That's my only comment to that.

I mean, you've literally, literally not read the Bible seven times.

In the book of Revelation it says the Holy Spirit.

Says, says, says, says, says, says, says.

I mean, you just can't beat it.

Romans 8:14, as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

So you can't get away from that.

And so in the reading of the Bible, the Holy Spirit wrote the Bible through mankind, in partnership from the verbal plenary process.

The knowledge of God that you are trying to grow in, that's right in that book, right off the bat, then there's a knowledge that happens through your contact with God.

As you spend time with God, as you spend time in his presence, as you listen and as you quiet and just meditate in front of him and with him, and then bring your deep, deep elements of your existence to Him.

There's a whole nother element there of understanding and growing in your knowledge of God.

And it's like all these things.

I mean, the thing that will help us the most, we've said it a hundred times, is more of God.

It's more of God's presence.

It's knowing God more, It's connecting to God more.

It's being more thoughtful of God, being more verbal for God.

And with God, that's when he takes a genuine residency.

Jesus wants us to understand that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who are never disconnected, that relationship is your lifeline.

And then he says this in verse 11.

Being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might.

I don't know how much strength and power does God have?

Because that's what we're supposed to be strengthened by.

There was a reason that God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but instead of power, love, and a sound mind, we have those things.

I mean, what's awesome about the Lord is we have that in Him.

It says that you may be.

Listen to this.

Being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might, that you may have the full endurance and patience.

You ought to be able to put up with things more aptly, more succinctly, more effectively.

Being able to endure things and put up with things and be patient for things will then grow in your knowledge of God so that you can be strengthened with the power that comes according to his glorious might, and that will enable you to endure more.

And then, of course, it says this, which gets very little play, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father.

You know what that means?

Wait, wait.

That doesn't mean thank you, Lord, for everything.

I'm supposed to give thanks for everything.

Thanks a lot for this.

Thanks a lot.

Just really.

Hey, Eeyore.

My name is Eeyore.

It's my birthday.

You're supposed to joyfully give thanks.

Why?

Because some people give thanks without joy behind it, without gratefulness.

It's almost like a begrudging.

Well, it says we're supposed to be thankful and everything.

So thanks.

That's the wrong thanks.

The right thanks is the.

Yes, Lord.

Thank you, Lord.

I don't understand it all, but you've proven yourself every single time, not just faithful, but gracious to me.

Thank you.

That.

Thank you.

Get it?

Okay, cool.

All right.

Apostle James wrote, is any among you afflicted, let him pray is any merry, Let him sing psalms, sing praises, sing songs of praise.

All of that.

Isn't that funny because we just ended on that be thankful note.

Wow.

Didn't plan that.

Couldn't have planned it if I tried.

Just worked out that way.

Cool.

I like it.

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?

Ladies and gentlemen, it's been my privilege in my past.

I've been a Christian for a short time, only about 40 years.

But when I was in my first year, I had a chance to meet James Robeson, who had a chance to pray for my brother and myself.

Very helpful at a very needful time as we were fighting our way out of a Christian culture.

And he prayed for clarity.

And it was just a pastor's gathering in Phoenix, Arizona.

And I have the privilege again of interviewing one of what I consider to be one of the great men of God who are still with us on this planet.

And I just want to give a wholeheartedly welcome and open door, an open heart to James Robeson.

Thank you, sir, for being a part of our show and a part of our audience.

David, it's a pleasure join with you and I'm grateful that praying together was meaningful to you at a very important point in your life.

So just joy to be with you and your listeners.

Now, David, can I just download what I believe is the heart of our heavenly Father to your listeners for a few minutes?

Yes, please, by all means.

When I spoke to the leaders before the election and I talked about the need, this is in Washington.

There were nearly 2,000 pastors and church leaders there.

And I said, I'm telling you, there are people right now who are being captivated by the Jesus they see in some of our lives.

And I said, listen to me.

We have a fatherless nation desperately in need of a father.

If we as believers, as Christians, who have the perfect father, if we would show people clearly what the family of the perfect father looks like, I believe the fatherless would run to the father and the father's house.

And I believe that I said that to the president of the United States.

I said, sir, your children say you're a good father.

Eric Trump happened to be sitting by me when I first said that.

Eric said, he's a great father.

I said, well, he may be, but that doesn't mean he's flawless.

I do believe that we need a father.

And I believe we can pray and God can raise up people that have a father's heart.

And so I began to emphasize the church, revealing what the father's like.

Now listen to me.

We as believers comprise the body of Christ, the body of born again, baptized into Christ, believers who are born from above.

We have a perfect heavenly father who reveals his will.

He's not willing that any should perish.

He said, you call on me and I'll heal your land.

Now listen to me, Christian believers.

We're not looking for a champion.

We've got one.

He's the only one that rides the white horse.

We're not looking for a king.

We have a king.

The king of kings, the Lord of lords.

That's Jesus.

He holds kings in his hand.

Our king, our shepherd, our father said, come to me as my family, and you ask me to heal your land.

In desperate need of healing, you come in humility.

You come knowing I'm the only one that can heal and I can use imperfect vessels to accomplish my perfect will.

I always have.

I always will.

On Christ the solid broadcast.

Oh, 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, getting ready for your next trivia question.

Ooh.

So always our fourth out of five is always the toughest.

I'm just telling you.

In Romans, Paul wrote, brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they what?

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they what?

Romans 10:1.

Nice job, Jeff, on that one.

Nailing down the pow pow.

You guys are on it today.

All right, so listen to what I'm saying.

In Romans, Paul wrote, brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they.

Romans, chapter 10, verse 1.

Or send an email david must increase.org.

so what we always do here, at least I try to, is to send you out to the website, because on the website is.

Wait a minute.

I just want to point this out.

That's a lot of podcasts.

Nobody expects you to listen to all that.

But there are really cool audios and really cool videos.

There's awesome articles, there's goofy links.

That's right.

I linked to the Babylon Bee.

I got no problem with any website that says we had an election and everybody figured it out.

Jesus is still the king of the universe.

Gotta love it.

So it's a comedic site that's satirical.

I happen to enjoy it.

I think some of their stuff's funny.

You don't have to look at it.

But there's that.

There's other videos, there's new stuff.

Wait, new stuff up there?

As well as there's the brochures, the business cards and the bumper stickers.

Thanks to Rosalynn for putting together those.

She did a great job.

And so if you want any of those, we'll get them for you as well as there's a place we have.

I have five different books.

If you want any of them but you can't afford them, you tell us, we buy it and we send it to you.

Just that simple.

There's nothing else to it.

We just want to get it out there.

Okay.

All right.

And all of that with a place to give.

Why?

Because it's important.

So you can give online at the site I'm going to send you.

You can also send a check to the station you just got to make it to.

He Must Increase Ministry.

You can also call after the show and leave a message and I'll get back to you and help you coordinate giving another way.

So check it all out on the website, though.

He must increase.org prayer request.

He must increase 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 as a duly designated representative of the city, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension.

See, the line I like about that one is the parallel dimension.

Or go back to your parallel dimension.

All right, somebody is ready to answer a trivia question.

Let's send them on through.

Knock, knock.

This is David.

Who am I talking to?

Hello?

Hello?

This is a parallel dimension.

You've been in a parallel dimension for a little while, huh?

That's great.

How are you?

I'm okay.

You're okay?

All right, let's do the trivia and then we'll go from there.

In Romans, Paul wrote, brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they.

What they might Be saved.

Correct Amundo.

That is correct, Amundo.

Asundo.

So how art thou?

You know, I was praying for you the other day.

Just the other day I was praying for you.

And I just got the impression while I was praying for you that the Lord was like, you know, there's a lot of the emotions are really like pushing against you really hard.

And that's a big key in some of the fight is that the emotions are really pushing against you hard and the enemy is trying to use it against you.

And you need to stand firm against that.

So I don't know if that's true or not, but it seemed like there had some application.

So I thought I'd just share that with you before we pray for you.

Okay.

No, that's very true.

It's almost like the enemy's.

See, it's not that feelings or emotions are wrong ever.

That's not the issue.

The issue is if they lead.

It's not if they're there, but if they lead.

And when they lead, there's just a distortion that takes place.

That's why truth has to be the first on the train.

Then love, because even love is redefined by the world, is defined by the world incorrectly.

And then your feelings and so on and so forth, you know I'm saying.

So it's like, well, that's interesting, right?

I always find that fascinating because I need to do that all the time.

So is that, is that along the lines a good thing to pray for you?

Yes.

But along with that, just pray for some physical healing.

For me, feeling little under the weather.

And also my brother is also having some stomach upset issue.

And my father in law just had a knee replacement surgery.

So just pray for us.

Okay?

Let me pray for everybody.

Father, we come before you right now, we lift up Samson to you.

And Lord, I just want to use to start with what I kind of got the impression you shared with me.

And I just pray that Samson, in going through his processes, would be aware of the enemy taking advantage of those feelings to taking him too far over to the left or right.

And that you would give him a central base of truth to stand firm.

But his family also needs healing, Lord, and they need healing in their physical bodies.

His brother himself, his father in law, everybody connected is just going through tough times.

It's a very tough season in their family.

But that doesn't mean that you have abandoned them.

That doesn't mean you're not near them.

And in fact it does require all of them to get a greater, stronger More diligent, focus on you so that they can keep the perspective going and keep the comfort going and keep the grace and mercy flowing.

They need help, but they need your help, not anybody else's.

They need the peace that passes understanding to keep them all.

Bring your healing power because you are Jehovah, Rapha.

Bring your healing power because it's by the power of your spirit.

Bring your healing power because it's in Jesus Christ and his stripes that we are healed and that's what we pray for, that you would touch them that way.

We pray that in Jesus name amen and amen.

Amen.

While you were praying, there's something else also came to my mind.

Two of my brother in laws, like, I know they know the Lord, but they are not walking with the Lord for a while.

And also they are going through some really physical illness.

Like one, I think the initial diagnosis is that he might have a kidney cancer.

So yeah, he is pretty bumped.

And the other is having some gut issues.

So just pray that.

They will find.

Jesus in the middle of all this chaos.

Amen.

You got it, brother.

And we'll have the audience pray as well.

Yeah.

Thank you.

All right.

You're welcome.

God bless you, bro.

God bless you too.

Bye bye.

Bye bye.

All right, all right.

Into the text we jump.

Because I cannot miss this next portion.

I just picked it up at verse 12.

We're saying joyfully giving thanks to the Father.

Again, that is not giving thanks to God grudgingly.

I just want to make sure Everybody understands that first.

Thessalonians 5, 18.

In everything.

Okay, watch.

In everything.

It's kind of like the everyday daily thing.

In everything, give thanks.

For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

You're looking for God's will?

Well, there is a specific will and a general will.

The general will is right there.

You be in the will of God.

You want God to give you your specifics?

You better operate in your generals, so to speak.

And so the idea behind that is to be thankful for everything.

But then this text says, joyfully, joyfully give thanks to the Father.

Listen to this.

Why would you joyfully give thanks to the Father?

Because past everything else, you tell me.

I'm going to tell you this.

The rest of the verse says, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light?

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, Wait a minute.

Stop.

The reason that you can joyfully give thanks to the Father is because God has, through Jesus Christ, qualified you to share in the eternal Inheritance of the saints.

Let's please understand what this is saying.

This has got nothing to do with eschatology in the way things will break down.

This has to do with the forever, with the Lord and the people of God, in the presence of God, doing all the great things God has in mind and he has qualified you.

So for those that are trying to figure out, well, what does that kind of mean?

Have you ever applied for a loan and they approved it?

That means you qualified.

Or a house and they approved you.

Qualified.

A credit card, a card or this, that, whatever.

Have you ever applied for anything?

A college, this college, anything?

And they approved it.

And they approved it.

And they approved it.

God the Father has qualified you.

He's made you qualified.

That means accepted, past acknowledged in qualified for my position of dogcatcher, but you qualified.

You're missing the idea here.

You have to qualify for it.

And so the idea behind this is that God qualified you through Jesus Christ so that you can be a part of the eternal inheritance of the saints.

What?

That's how you can joyfully give thanks to the Father.

Dad, I don't know what's going to happen today.

And some of it may be good or some of it may be bad.

I don't know.

I'm not that smart.

But one thing I want to do is say thank you because you qualified me to spend eternity enjoying the inheritance of your saints.

Thank you.

That's what it means.

Everybody got.

I just want to make sure everybody get that.

That's what it means.

God made you qualified.

Qualified through Jesus Christ to share in the glory that's coming.

To share in the eternal glory.

That's.

You didn't qualify yourself.

God qualified you.

Oh, baby, that is a reason to joyfully give thanks.

We'll take a short break and then come back.

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

Short break.

We'll be back.

Don't go anywhere.

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 Bertram.

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.

Job, I want to read job 3:25.

I don't want anybody look at.

I know that the teachings in the church and being a Baptist, somebody who's got a Baptist ordination, a Pentecostal ordination, somebody who understands what chalmen means, understands what the manifold millennialist is.

I get it.

I really do.

I've been around for a little while.

I just.

When you're hearing scripture, you don't have to put all the scriptures you hear in certain boxes so they fit your motif of a theology.

Sometimes you can just look at it and observe it and go right for it and review it.

And Job, chapter 3, verse 25.

One of the things that Job said is what I feared has come upon me, what I dreaded has happened to me.

There's a whole teaching on.

It's because your confession wasn't good.

I don't think that had anything to do with it.

I think God was bragging about Job to Satan.

Job didn't know that was going on.

That's obvious.

But there he is.

God's bragging about him.

And what Job is like going is like, this is the worst thing that I could think of.

And that happens to people.

Believers, good believers, great believers, fantastic believers, lousy believers, believers and everybody else.

It's something that takes place.

Sometimes bad things come about in the process.

That doesn't mean that God hates you.

That doesn't.

First of all, the world has rebelled against God and lies in wickedness.

So it's not God's fault that the world said, we'll run this planet without you.

We'll let you know.

I mean, that's not God's fault.

He's not the one that did that.

People did that.

And so the idea that understands is sometimes these tough things happen.

The great thing to know is that God has not left and went to Pluto while you're going through these things.

In this particular case, in Job, it was completely the opposite of what Job thought, because God was bragging about him.

And Job thought he was in some kind of trouble or some kind of judgment.

Hey, guess what?

Job was wrong.

Something else was going on altogether, which is often the case welcome back to the David Spoon Experience.

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

That's K double amen.

770, the Truth Station here in Texas, where we will be getting through this show.

Even though I had no notes, that's not too shabby.

Here's your last trivia question.

The apostle James wrote, confess your faults to one another and pray for one another that you may be what?

James 5:16.

The apostle James wrote, confess your faults to one another and pray for one another that you may be What?

James, chapter five, verse 16.

If you think you know, reach out to us.

Or you can send an email.

David.

Must increase.org Joanne and Cordelia got the pow pow on that.

The apostle James wrote, confess your faults to one another and pray for one another that you may be.

What?

What was that?

James 5:16.

If you think, you know, we will do a very, very brief history and then finish off on the teaching.

Okay.

All right.

Today is operating room Nurse Day, which is like, I feel, you know, we watch some of the shows where they show the nurses and the doctors.

I think that the doctors would not have a chance without the help of the nurses.

That's just my take on it.

I know they get.

The doctors get the glory.

It just couldn't happen without the nurses.

Nurses need the credit, too.

Yeah.

I mean, they should get credit, too.

Additionally, it's National Pickle Day.

Okay.

I like pickles now.

Do you like pickles?

Yeah.

Yeah, I like pickles.

Being Jewish, you don't have a choice.

Every sandwich comes with a pickle.

Just so you can know.

Usually a kosher dill.

Do you like.

Because I'm sure you like pickles, like on your burger and different things like that.

But do you like just eating a pickle?

Yes.

Yeah, that's a problem.

Pickle.

Yeah.

See, here's something that I do.

This is terrible.

Don't do this.

Don't do the example.

I'm gonna tell you that I do.

So you know those sweet pickles, Those little sweet pickles?

Sometimes I would take a slice, a very thin slice of ham.

That's right.

I'm Jewish.

I love ham.

And I put the sweet pickle in it, and then I roll it up and eat it together.

Isn't that weird?

I like it.

I don't know.

Do you like fried pickles?

Deep fried.

Deep fried anything works for me.

What about rel?

Love relish.

Love relish.

Okay.

All right, so there's pickle Day.

That's operating room Nurse Day.

And then for those that don't know, I'm just gonna do these real fast.

1889 was the first time that somebody went around the world in 80 days.

From the Jules Verne novel.

Right?

And somebody did that.

Nelly Bly did it with eight days to spare.

So she actually did it in 72 days.

1910.

On this day, the first airplane to take off a ship's deck took place.

All history today having to do with flight.

Interesting, right?

And someone else also went around the world.

His name was Forrest Gump.

That's right.

Life is like a box.

All right, anyway, so here we go.

Here's your trivia question.

I gotta teach the rest of this.

I gotta do it really fast.

Apostle James wrote, confess your faults to one another.

Pray for one another, that you may be James 5:16.

I am not texting anybody for sure today till after four because I have something I have to do right away.

Let me just finish up on this one thing and I'll probably revisit this next week because of how important it is.

Verse 12 of this text.

Actually, this is verse 13.

I wonder why it says verse 12 on my Bible copy has the wrong thing.

That's hilarious.

I copy the Bible.

They have the wrong verse there.

Verse 13 says, he, referring to the Father, has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of his beloved Son.

Let's just stop right there.

You have been rescued from the dominion of darkness.

For those that don't know what dominion is, it has to do with authority, power, control.

And you were a slave to darkness, but now the Father has brought you into the kingdom of His Son, Jesus Christ, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

You don't have forgiveness and sins by your good works, by your good looks, even by anything else that you can come up with.

So I just want to make sure everybody's on the same page.

You have redemption, which is the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ.

You are not getting in, in another direction or another way.

Jesus said, I am the door, I am the gate, I am the way.

And if you think you're getting into heaven because you've done something good, you're nuts.

It's just like coming to my house.

I tell you what door to go in.

If I say come in the garage, you come in the garage.

If I say come in the backyard, you come in the backyard.

If I say go to the front door, you go to the front door.

Well, heaven is God's home and Jesus is the door.

You want to get to heaven, go in the door that he provided.

That's it.

He's freed us from the dominion of darkness.

Because darkness doesn't own you.

Yes, I know.

Darkness challenges you.

The Prince of Darkness challenges you.

But you have been rescued from that.

So you owe that kingdom nothing.

And he's brought you into the kingdom of his Son, which gives you life.

And in Jesus we have redemption.

You think what's redemption?

It tells you the forgiveness of sins, the payback from the debts, right?

Think about that.

This is all in Jesus Christ.

Everything we have is in Jesus Christ.

Stop trying to split everything up.

You tell me that now that you are in the kingdom of your beloved Son, you're lacking.

What are you crazy?

Hey, crazy.

He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness.

You're free from that.

He's brought us into the kingdom of his beloved Son.

Hallelujah.

And in Jesus we have redemption.

The buyback factor, the forgiveness of sins.

You know that sin you committed?

Yeah.

God's not keeping it.

Why are you.

God's not throwing it back in your face.

Why are you letting Satan, the accuser of the brethren, throw it back in your face?

Stop it.

The apostle James wrote, confess your faults to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed.

Very interesting that our faults and our sins are connected to healing.

The forgiveness is there, but sometimes it leaves a little bit of mud on our system.

All right, folks, we're done not Texting until after 4.

You're listening to the David Spoon experience.

You have listened to and we're going to take a 22 and a half hour break then come back More Insanity with Spoonanity.

God bless.

Just as I am.

He reached down and see me purchase my freedom at the cost of His Son.
