07-10-2025 part 3: Faithful Endurance and the God Who Finishes What He Starts
Section 1:
The show begins with a delightful mix of humor and heartfelt conversation, including homemade desserts and fellowship talk. A caller expresses appreciation for the show’s move to an online platform and emphasizes how important it is to stay connected. Dr. Dave reminds listeners how to access the broadcast via HMIMRadio.org or the main website, hemustincrease.org. The tone is warm and personal, filled with gratitude, encouragement, and community support. As the ministry continues adapting to its new format, Dave updates listeners about minor reception issues and growing pains, but also highlights the blessing of being 10 minutes from the studio now.
Section 2:
Next, the trivia segment adds lightness with a simple question: does the Lord’s Prayer ask for daily or weekly bread? (Answer: daily.) A faithful caller, Roger, answers correctly and shares his struggles and testimonies. Despite health issues and life challenges—including losing his job and being told he wouldn’t survive long—Roger has endured for 15 years through God’s provision. His humility, humor, and spiritual maturity shine through as he discusses trusting in God’s promises and praying for the show’s future. The prayer over Roger and his wife is deeply moving, reinforcing that Christian community strengthens and uplifts each other in real time.
Section 3:
Dr. Dave returns to 2 Thessalonians 1:11–12, emphasizing Paul’s prayer that God would “powerfully fulfill every good desire and work of faith.” The teaching reminds listeners that these aren’t prayers for selfish gain, but for spiritually aligned desires—those that bring glory to Jesus. God’s answers, when they come, are full and unmistakable, never partial or vague. The fulfillment is always by grace, not merit, and always points to God’s greatness. Dr. Dave challenges believers to pursue desires and actions rooted in faith, trusting that if God says yes, nothing in the universe can stop it. He closes with prayer and a humorous appeal for donations—reminding us that real ministry runs on faith, grace, and a little financial help from listeners who care.
