01-21-2025 part 2: How God Chooses Us: The Journey to Becoming Like Christ
Join Dr. David Spoon as he delves into the profound truths of Romans 8, focusing on the concepts of predestination, free will, and the incredible promise of God's glory. He emphasizes the importance of understanding our identity as part of God's family, chosen to reflect His Son, Jesus Christ. Throughout the episode, David highlights how our spiritual connections often surpass those of our natural families, reminding listeners of the transformative power of a Christ-centered community. With engaging anecdotes and heartfelt reflections, he encourages everyone to share their experiences and prayer requests, fostering a sense of unity and support. This lively discussion also touches on personal growth through trials and the unwavering confidence we have when God is for us, culminating in a call to appreciate the wonderful truths revealed in Scripture.
David Spoon's engaging podcast episode serves as a deep dive into the complexities of faith, particularly focusing on the dual concepts of predestination and free will found in Romans 8:29. With an enthusiastic tone, Spoon invites listeners to reconsider their understanding of these theological ideas, portraying them as complementary rather than contradictory. He emphasizes that God's foreknowledge and selection of His people are foundational to their identity in Christ, and he passionately articulates the significance of belonging to a spiritual family. This familial connection, he argues, holds profound importance in a believer's life and can often surpass the ties of natural family.
His personal journey from a chaotic youth in a Jewish household to a committed Christian is woven throughout the episode, illustrating the transformative power of faith. He recounts his experiences in ministry over the last 35 years, offering listeners a glimpse into the lessons learned and the wisdom gained from working with a diverse array of individuals. This narrative thread not only enriches the theological discourse but also makes it relatable, as Spoon encourages his audience to reflect on their own paths and the role of community in their spiritual journeys. His light-hearted interaction with his co-host adds a layer of warmth and humor, making the heavy subject matter more accessible and engaging.
Listeners are prompted to interact, sharing their experiences and prayer requests, which Spoon believes fosters a deeper sense of community and support among believers. The episode culminates in a trivia question that connects to the day's teachings, blending educational content with fun engagement. This mix of theological depth, personal testimony, and community-building encapsulates Spoon's mission: to educate, uplift, and connect with his audience, all while glorifying God and fostering an environment of love and support.

And now for something completely different.
David Spoon:Here's what's coming up this hour on today's Experience.
David Spoon:It's totally terrific, totally transforming, totally triumphant Tuesday as we find unity from the Father, through the Son and by the Holy Spirit, all for the glory of God Almighty.
David Spoon:As we do this introduction again, because last time we did it, the show went a different direction.
David Spoon:So.
David Spoon:So we'll do it again and see if we can get to it first.
David Spoon:Picking it back up in Romans, chapter 8, verse 29.
David Spoon:Some people's theology can get a bit misguided, but it doesn't need to be.
David Spoon:Keep in mind that predestination and free will are two sides of the same coin, regardless of what people argue for.
David Spoon:The Scripture says that God knows his people in advance and chose them to be like his son, Jesus.
David Spoon:He foreknew us, meaning he knew ahead of time, and he chose us basically in spite of us.
David Spoon:Next.
David Spoon:Why?
David Spoon:So that his son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
David Spoon:This is about family, Christian family.
David Spoon:The family that God has placed you in is exceedingly important.
David Spoon:We just spent 30 minutes talking about the importance of the house of God.
David Spoon:To say otherwise would be sinful.
David Spoon:The spiritual family that God has connected you to holds great importance and in many cases in the New Testament surpasses that of the natural family.
David Spoon:And finally, we are truly blessed beyond anything we could ever deserve or fully comprehend.
David Spoon:He concludes verse 31 by saying, if God be for us, who can be against us?
David Spoon:That puts us in an enormous place of confidence and victory.
David Spoon:In partnership with God.
David Spoon:Nothing is impossible.
David Spoon:Or how could you possibly have a better partner than you have now because your partner is the king of the universe.
David Spoon:David Spoon's life has been an experience.
David Spoon:While growing up in a Jewish family, he made a wrong turn towards drug abuse.
David Spoon:Then David Spoon found Jesus Christ and his life completely changed.
David Spoon:The more he studied the gospel, the more he wanted to share his experiences with others.
David Spoon:After 35 years of ministry, David discovered a new path of service.
Radio Announcer:He joined KAAM and this radio program began.
Radio Announcer:You're about to hear the David Spoon Experience.
David Spoon:Welcome to the David Spoon Experience.
David Spoon:Local, national and heavenly talk.
David Spoon:Here's what else we're looking at during the show.
David Spoon:Lessons for surviving, living and prevailing.
David Spoon:Wow.
David Spoon:Politics, entertainment and current events, personal revelations, spiritual observations, my life's insanities and life so much more.
David Spoon:Now, you know it's not professional radio.
David Spoon:It has never been professional radio.
David Spoon: We've done: David Spoon:Not even close.
David Spoon:1500 strikeouts.
David Spoon:That's what I'd say.
David Spoon:But here's what we do want.
David Spoon:We want to know how you're doing.
David Spoon:I know that was a pretty fiery intro.
David Spoon:You'll get over it.
David Spoon:Aloe vera for the burns.
David Spoon:Pretty simple.
David Spoon:But the truth of the matter is we do care how people are and how they're doing.
David Spoon:That's most important.
David Spoon:Taking care of one another, as God has put it upon us, being the body of Christ.
David Spoon:By this shall all men know you are my disciples.
David Spoon:By your love one for another.
David Spoon:Well, that means that we got to love one another.
David Spoon:And to get to love one another, we have to help each other, care about each other, think about each other.
David Spoon:So we're asking you, how are you doing?
David Spoon:What can we do to help you?
David Spoon:What can we do to be a blessing?
David Spoon:You can email us during the show.
David Spoon:Davidemustincrease.org that's David.
David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon:Or.
David Spoon:Or you can call us.
David Spoon:It's a phone, and it works.
David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon:Talking to Jammin Jacob is like sharing a cheat meal on your diet with your favorite person.
David Spoon:Hello.
Co-host:Thank you, David.
Co-host:Happy Tuesday.
David Spoon:Happy Tuesday to you, my friend.
David Spoon:Sorry for that little rush of I've got to communicate this kind of thing.
David Spoon:Hope that it wasn't a little bit overwhelming for anybody.
David Spoon:That was kind of fun, though.
David Spoon:You just got to sit there and go, button pushed, pressed about two buttons.
Co-host:And that was it.
David Spoon:That was all you had to do.
David Spoon:That's kind of nice, though, isn't it?
David Spoon:Every once in a while, it's like, well, that went fast.
David Spoon:Got that done.
David Spoon:Bottom line.
David Spoon:Let me check with you.
David Spoon:So I know that you probably did watch the Ohio State.
David Spoon:Penn State game yesterday.
David Spoon:I didn't watch it.
David Spoon:After I saw that Penn State was gonna lose, I lost my heart.
David Spoon:I lost my cookies.
David Spoon:I couldn't handle it because I don't like Ohio State because I'm a Michigan fan.
David Spoon:Did you have anything special while you were watching it or you just watched the game?
Co-host:I just watched the game.
Co-host:I was pulling for Notre Dame, but, yeah, Ohio State won.
Co-host:It was close towards the end there.
Co-host:The team I was pulling for didn't win.
David Spoon:Yeah, I feel that.
David Spoon:I know that feeling.
David Spoon:I'm using aloe vera.
David Spoon:For that.
Co-host:Just like, I know that feeling.
Co-host:It happened five times this past week.
David Spoon:Five times in three days.
David Spoon:That's all I got.
Co-host:There's always next season.
David Spoon:That's right.
David Spoon:That's right.
David Spoon:Just remember, just keeping it.
David Spoon:Just keeping it super, super easy.
David Spoon:Just remember, I don't know a lot about football, but Jesus, that's a little different.
David Spoon:That's all you gotta remember.
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:Bottom line to this process is, look, we want you to reach out to us.
David Spoon:Of course we do.
David Spoon:And look, if you have something that's really on your heart and you just want to share it, and the Lord's blessed you with it.
David Spoon:Wow.
David Spoon:Share it.
David Spoon:You know, it's amazing, people.
David Spoon:The biggest comments we have on this show are when people share things.
David Spoon:I mean, a couple of the teachings are there, but when people share with one another, they get that sense that there's just a truth, a truthfulness that's taking place, kind of a vulnerable element that people appreciate.
David Spoon:You got something to share, share it.
David Spoon:If it's good, okay, we will rejoice with you.
David Spoon:If it's bad, okay, will cry with you.
David Spoon:That part doesn't matter.
David Spoon:Whether it's a prayer request or a praise report, maybe you've just got something that just.
David Spoon:This scripture came to my life, and I'm just so, so, so blessed.
David Spoon:You know, I think one of the scriptures that really, really blessed me is that Hebrews 4:16, you know, being confident, you know, approaching the throne of grace with confidence in order to receive mercy and to find grace in my time of need, I.
David Spoon:I've noticed I just need grace in my times of need, and I need to receive that mercy.
David Spoon:That's Hebrews 4:16.
David Spoon:Great verse.
David Spoon:Got something like that.
David Spoon:You want to share it?
David Spoon:Awesome.
David Spoon:If you've got an answer to Bible trivia, we want to hear that you're going to kind of help us out.
David Spoon:Here's a simple Bible trivia to get everything rolling.
David Spoon:How many loaves and fish were used to feed the 5,000?
David Spoon:How much bread?
David Spoon:How much fish were used to feed the 5,000?
David Spoon:Mark6.38 is a specific reference.
David Spoon:Specific.
David Spoon:I'm just going to say that.
David Spoon:And I do want to say everybody's saying it was just a kid's lunch for all those pastors.
David Spoon:Love you guys.
David Spoon:But a loaf is not a lunch, and five loaves is not a lunch.
David Spoon:It's a lot more than you would say.
David Spoon:Anyway.
David Spoon:How many loaves and fish were used to feed the 5,000 according to Mark6.38?
David Spoon:And that was 5,000.
David Spoon:Besides women and Children.
David Spoon:So that's pretty good if you think you know the answer.
David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon:Or, or, or you can send an email.
David Spoon:Davidemasincrease.org that's davidemasincreased.org how many loaves, how many fishes used to feed the 5,000 besides women and children, which means probably 12 to 14,000 people.
David Spoon:Probably.
David Spoon:I'm not going to say that specifically.
David Spoon:I don't know that for sure, but that's a good guess.
David Spoon:All right, anyway, so that's your question.
David Spoon:How many, how many of those, how many fish?
David Spoon:Again, not a kid's lunch.
David Spoon:When a pastor says that, just love him, just go, he's trying, he's trying.
David Spoon:That's all you got to say.
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:If you think, you know, reach out to us.
David Spoon:I do want to point out just a couple of brief things.
David Spoon:One, I was really actually blessed that, that Robert Jeffress.
David Spoon:Phil was in there because one of the people that our current president uses for insight and advice, not every decision or anything, just prayer and just general advice, is Robert Jeffress.
David Spoon:I would encourage everybody not just to be praying for the political leadership of our company, of our country, but also the spiritual leadership of our country.
David Spoon:Because if those people are giving insight, we want them to give the counsel of God according to the word of God.
David Spoon:If you're a Christian, that's what you want, right?
David Spoon:Christ centered.
David Spoon:Okay, we do have somebody ready to answer their trivia questions, so let's go ahead and send them on through.
David Spoon:Knock knock.
David Spoon:This is David.
David Spoon:Who am I talking to?
David Spoon:This is Gary.
David Spoon:How are you today?
David Spoon:I'm doing pretty good, Gary.
David Spoon:I was sick yesterday when I went home.
David Spoon:It's kind of like a weird.
David Spoon:You ever have like a one or two hour, like, bleh.
David Spoon:And then all of a sudden, for whatever reason, I asked people to pray and stuff.
David Spoon:Felt a lot better.
David Spoon:And then today, just so much better.
David Spoon:So I think I'm just over it, whatever it was.
David Spoon:Maybe it was just one of those 24 hours or whatever.
David Spoon:But prayer, I think is a big helper.
David Spoon:Yeah, I'll pray for you now.
David Spoon:Keep praying for you.
David Spoon:Keep on doing it, brother.
David Spoon:I need it.
David Spoon:I need it every day, that's for sure.
David Spoon:All right, let me set you up with a question, then you can answer it and we'll go from there.
David Spoon:Coming out of Mark 6, basically, I think it's 38 was the best reference point.
David Spoon:And that is simply this.
David Spoon: nd fish were used to feed the: David Spoon:That was besides men and women?
David Spoon:I believe it was two fish and five loaves of bread.
David Spoon:That is correct.
David Spoon:And there were leftovers.
David Spoon:Yeah, and there were leftovers, exactly right.
David Spoon:Which I think is brilliant.
David Spoon:And I did mean to say 5,000 men besides women and children.
David Spoon:So that's.
David Spoon:It's an amazing thing, because if you think about it, you've got five loaves of bread.
David Spoon:So if you just think about going to the grocery store and buying five loaves, right?
David Spoon:And then two fish, even if they're small fish, that would be too big of a lunch for one person.
David Spoon:That'd be a lot of food.
David Spoon:Right?
David Spoon:Wow, that's some sandwich.
David Spoon:You know, what was that?
David Spoon:Blondie and Dagwood.
David Spoon:That's what that would be like, that kind of sandwich.
David Spoon:But anyway, I want to pray for you, if that's okay.
David Spoon:I just had my own blessing in that, so I want to be able to extend that right to you.
David Spoon:Is that cool?
David Spoon:Okay, let's do it.
David Spoon:Father, we come before you right now.
David Spoon:We thank you for our brother Gary.
David Spoon:I just want to thank you, Lord, personally that you touched me and that my body is doing better.
David Spoon:I can't.
David Spoon:I didn't deserve it, not worthy of it.
David Spoon:But I rejoice and I receive it, and I'm thankful for it.
David Spoon:And I pray that you would extend that same exact scenario to Gary, that his body would be better, that he would be doing better, that he would be strengthened physically.
David Spoon:He would be blessed in the other realms, because other realms get to be very difficult in this.
David Spoon:And he would also find that the healing power that comes from you is alive and active, and it would be available and poured upon him.
David Spoon:And, Lord, you know, we've prayed for a while.
David Spoon:We're not going to stop praying until you say, no, we're not going to stop.
David Spoon:So we just ask you to bring your healing power into him.
David Spoon:We know you can do anything.
David Spoon:Our request is that you would heal Gary.
David Spoon:Our understanding is that we surrender it to your will and we present it to you and believe you because you're generous and compassionate.
David Spoon:Pour that upon our brother and bless him and heal him in Jesus name.
David Spoon:Amen and amen.
David Spoon:Amen.
David Spoon:And I will say a prayer for you.
David Spoon:Thank you, brother.
David Spoon:God bless you.
David Spoon:God bless you.
David Spoon:Bye.
David Spoon:Bye.
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:Love it when Gary calls.
David Spoon:And you guys should be praying for Gary, but Paul said I mention you in prayer.
David Spoon:You know what?
David Spoon:You can just pray for him by mentioning him.
David Spoon:That's a worthwhile cause, right?
David Spoon:He's a good brother in the Lord.
David Spoon:He's been very faithful for a long time on this show.
David Spoon:Let's go to our DNA.
David Spoon:D Draw closer to the Lord daily, every day.
David Spoon:I'm so excited because, you know, on February 1st, I'll be at 27 years that I've not missed spending one hour with the Lord every single day.
David Spoon:That's just like, wow, right?
David Spoon:What were you guys doing 27 years ago?
David Spoon:Listen, that is the one thing out of all the things that I've been through that has kept me in the Lord.
David Spoon:That's it.
David Spoon:I'm telling you right now.
David Spoon:I'm not trying to brag about I only got there by grace.
David Spoon:I'm only getting there by grace if God even allows me to get there.
David Spoon:But every day, the scripture is clear.
David Spoon:Draw near to God and he will draw near to you.
David Spoon:Do that best thing you could ever do ever, ever.
David Spoon:Draw closer to the Lord daily.
David Spoon:D and never be ashamed of Jesus or his words.
David Spoon:Even if the ministers all around don't know God's word, which seems to be the case in certain denominations, we're not going to be ashamed of the word of God.
David Spoon:If people don't like it, they can lump it.
David Spoon:Because no other person has a heaven to put you in.
David Spoon:Jesus is the door.
David Spoon:Heaven is God's home.
David Spoon:You go in through Jesus Christ.
David Spoon:And to be ashamed of what Jesus said and to be ashamed of what Jesus declared or of anything he's ever presented is absolutely horrid.
David Spoon:And he said, if you're ashamed of me and my words, I'll be ashamed of you.
David Spoon:When I come in glory from the Father with the angels, it's like, wow.
David Spoon:No way.
David Spoon:No person is worth that.
David Spoon:No person's praise, no group's praise is worth me making my Lord ashamed.
David Spoon:Ever.
David Spoon:D Draw closer to the Lord daily.
David Spoon:And never be ashamed of Jesus or his words.
David Spoon:A Always be ready.
Co-host:To serve.
David Spoon:Just ready.
David Spoon:The more I think about the ready part.
David Spoon:And after going through Mark, doing just another study in the Gospel of Mark and how many times Jesus said to be ready.
David Spoon:The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced.
David Spoon:And if I'm wrong, I apologize.
David Spoon:But I just think it has so much to do with when we're so centered on ourselves and we don't pour it into others.
David Spoon:We're missing some avenue of strength and blessing.
David Spoon:And so it's being ready to consider others to think about others, to do for others, to help others, to bless others.
David Spoon:Not that it's 24 7.
David Spoon:I don't think that's really the way it is.
David Spoon:I mean, when you're hungry, you eat.
David Spoon:That part is fine.
David Spoon:I just think it's the amount that we do it for ourselves versus the amount that we do it for others.
David Spoon:I think that's what it is.
David Spoon:So being ready means getting a little bit out of us and a little bit more into the Lord and just being on that radar with Him.
David Spoon:I think it's really important.
David Spoon:D Draw closer to the Lord daily.
David Spoon:N Never be ashamed of Jesus or his words.
David Spoon:A Always be ready to serve.
David Spoon:We'll take our break here and then come back.
David Spoon:You're listening to the David Spoon Experience right here on Kaam 770, the truth station air in Texas.
David Spoon:Short break, we'll be back.
David Spoon:Don't go anywhere.
David Spoon:What is the David Spoon Experience?
David Spoon:Here is a DDD entitled Custom Eyeglasses Used on Others.
David Spoon:Custom Eyeglasses used on others.
David Spoon:First Samuel, chapter 18, verse 9.
David Spoon:So Saul watched David jealously from that day forward.
David Spoon:Stop.
David Spoon:There it is.
David Spoon:So Saul watched David jealously from that day forward.
David Spoon:How do we see people in our lives?
David Spoon:Saul saw David through jealous glasses.
David Spoon:He put on these glasses.
David Spoon:They weren't the ones from the Lord, right?
David Spoon:They were glasses that had much more flesh in them.
David Spoon:And then everything was tainted.
David Spoon:This is what happens to you and I.
David Spoon:And let's just do the honest.
David Spoon:You know those honest moments where we put on our glasses regarding some people, because almost every time we get a communication from them, there's just something coming.
David Spoon:This just low.
David Spoon:This is gonna be lousy.
David Spoon:I haven't even opened it.
David Spoon:I'm already dreading it.
David Spoon:Right?
David Spoon:Have you ever gone through that?
David Spoon:Right?
David Spoon:Or every time this person texts me, I'm not smiling after I read it.
David Spoon:Or something along those lines.
David Spoon:And it could be somebody who's got a spirit of complaining.
David Spoon:It could be somebody that's got a spirit of pride.
David Spoon:It could be any of those things.
David Spoon:And you're just like going, oy vey, right?
David Spoon:But you're not saying it much.
David Spoon:But you know how you're seeing it.
David Spoon:And that's custom glasses.
David Spoon:You've already put the glasses on.
David Spoon:You've already determined how it's going to be.
David Spoon:You're already seeing it through that slant.
David Spoon:It's not that they've never done anything.
David Spoon:It's just that you and I tend to stay in those zones and see people that way.
David Spoon:And so no matter what was going to happen with Saul and King Saul and David.
David Spoon:David was going to impute evil motives to Saul's actions.
David Spoon:I've gone through this with a professor.
David Spoon:I'm just confessing, right?
David Spoon:I had a professor before we started the radio show.
David Spoon:And my buddy in the process was a pastor.
David Spoon:Was my, like a schoolmate.
David Spoon:And he would write me and go, what's.
David Spoon:Why does she, you know, jump on you like that?
David Spoon:I mean, he was asking me, right?
David Spoon:And I'm like, every time this statement, I just.
David Spoon:And I just.
David Spoon:And instead of having any kind of change of heart or mercy, I was mad.
David Spoon:But my anger did not work.
David Spoon:The righteousness of God.
David Spoon:And sometimes people do that because of other reasons.
David Spoon:It's not because of you.
David Spoon:And we need to do a better job of not wearing custom glasses where we see the downside on people.
David Spoon:So the question to ask is, what kind of glasses do we use with others?
David Spoon:And are those glasses approved?
David Spoon:Prescription glasses from God?
David Spoon:Welcome back to the David Spoon Experience.
David Spoon:Thank you for joining us here at Kaam 770, the truth station here in Texas.
David Spoon:Just making sure everybody understands we're all on the same page, doing the best we can.
David Spoon:To do what?
David Spoon:Encourage one another to draw closer to the Lord.
David Spoon:For those that are thinking, David May.
David Spoon:Gabe was upset.
David Spoon:No, no, I wasn't upset.
David Spoon:I promise.
David Spoon:Some people are like, wow, some days.
David Spoon:Right.
David Spoon:Got to be that way some days.
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:So as Jesus taught, it was never always just that exact same thing.
David Spoon:So the reason I'm encouraging you is because I think that lesson about having an honor for the sanctuary of God and the house of God is much more important than people think it is.
David Spoon:Does that make sense?
David Spoon:I just think it's a weightier message that we should give a lot of acknowledgment to.
David Spoon:Okay.
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:So one of the things I'm going to do is I'm going to ready to jump in the scripture.
David Spoon:I'm going to give you another trivia question.
David Spoon:So before I give you that trivia question, I want to make sure that you understand that we're in Romans and we're in Romans, chapter eight.
David Spoon:And I didn't get to this last week.
David Spoon:And it could be, you know, the Lord didn't want it brought out that time in that way and that that's not a problem.
David Spoon:Before we get there, though, I'm going to have a trivia question.
David Spoon:Do we need to take any phone call prior?
David Spoon:Nope.
David Spoon:Okay, here's going to be your trivia question.
David Spoon:Who dreamed that the sun, the moon and the stars bowed down to him?
David Spoon:Was it Moses, Abraham, Aaron or Joseph who dreamed that the sun, the moon and the stars bowed down to him?
David Spoon:Was it Moses, Abraham, Aaron or Joseph?
David Spoon:That'd be Genesis 37.
David Spoon:5 and Genesis 37:9, Genesis 37:5, Genesis 37:9 who dreamed that the sun, moon and the stars bowed down to him?
David Spoon:Was it Moses, Abraham, Aaron or Joseph?
David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon:So right, so right.
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:I want to go into this Romans 8:29 thing.
David Spoon:I didn't really get to do it last week because the Lord had a different direction, but I think this week we will get to talk about it.
David Spoon:Verse 29 For God knew His people in advance, and he chose them to become like his son, so that His Son would be the firstborn with many brothers and sisters.
David Spoon:And having chosen them, he called them to come to him, and he gave them right standing with Himself, and He promised them his glory.
David Spoon:Wow, it's like, what a mouthful.
David Spoon:Let's start off with the basic God knew His people in advance.
David Spoon:Does that mean he's telling everybody who his people in advance are?
David Spoon:No.
David Spoon:Great lesson from some great, great authors like Gene Edwards is God knowing God knows everything.
David Spoon:He's just often not telling.
David Spoon:That's the truth.
David Spoon:You don't think so?
David Spoon: Check out Deuteronomy: David Spoon:The things revealed are for us and our kids, but the secret things are God's.
David Spoon:God is God and God's property alone.
David Spoon:He doesn't share everything.
David Spoon:He shares what needs to be shared.
David Spoon:God knew his people in advance and he chose them to become like His Son.
David Spoon:The reason that you got saved and you didn't get immediately quote unquote raptured on the spot is because you and I are little billboards for Jesus.
David Spoon:Now there's not one of us that doesn't think from time to time.
David Spoon:Well, you know, as soon as I said yes, if you would have said come on up, that'd been okay.
David Spoon:But God has a greater plan and a greater purpose for you and I being a part of his family.
David Spoon:And he's dad and we're brothers and sisters and dad is in charge.
David Spoon:He wants us to have this greater reflection of Jesus.
David Spoon:So listen to what it says.
David Spoon:God knew his people in advance and he chose them to become like his Son.
David Spoon:Now, positionally, every one of us is smart enough to figure out we have the righteousness of Jesus Christ put upon us.
David Spoon:We receive that by faith.
David Spoon:It is given by grace, because God loves us.
David Spoon:But the practical part of it, the sanctification part of it, is God making us actually more like Jesus.
David Spoon:And some of us know that as the Lord has brought you through trial after trial, you have responded in some trials with more maturity or wisdom than you did prior.
David Spoon:But don't fret.
David Spoon:God's continually working on us in some of those other areas where you're like, well, I'm not sure if I'm doing any better in patience or I'm not sure if I'm doing any better in this or don't worry, God is working it right.
David Spoon:That song, Waymaker, he's working when we don't even know.
David Spoon:Of course he's working on us.
David Spoon:And so he wants us to become more like his son, more like Jesus, so that his son would be the firstborn with what many brothers and sisters.
David Spoon:Now, I'm not a big fan of Sister Sledge, but in this case, we are family.
David Spoon:That is true.
David Spoon:You might as well just deal with it because we're going to go to heaven.
David Spoon:Right.
David Spoon:And I don't know what you think is going to happen there, but all those people that you're going to engage with, those will be your brothers and sisters, and daddy will be Daddy.
David Spoon:That's how it's going to be.
David Spoon:And I'm more than confident some people will be there you think might not be there, and some people won't be there that you think should be there.
David Spoon:I mean, that's just one of those things you probably figure out.
David Spoon:Yeah, that probably happened.
David Spoon:But in the nutshell of it all, or understanding it all, is that this is about brothers and sisters, about family, the Christian family.
David Spoon:And I know it's difficult for you to hear this, and sometimes it's difficult for me to say.
David Spoon:It may be a little easier for me because of how my Christianity birthed out and how it became over the last 47 years.
David Spoon:But there are times in your life where spiritual family takes precedent over natural family.
David Spoon:That's happened only 150 times in scripture, let alone a few times.
David Spoon:I mean, it happened right at the crucifixion where Jesus is looking at John and his mom.
David Spoon:There's your kid, there's your mom.
David Spoon:Take care of it.
David Spoon:I mean, it's like right there at the crucifixion.
David Spoon:It's like, wow.
David Spoon:Now, what's important about that is you and I understanding we are all blood relatives.
David Spoon:Blood relatives by your natural family, blood relatives by the spiritual family.
David Spoon:Because it's the blood of Jesus.
David Spoon:It's not the water, it's the blood.
David Spoon:And we share a deeper identity with Christ in the blood relatives.
David Spoon:Because, man, that's our salvation.
David Spoon:That's pretty hot.
David Spoon:That's what God wants us to kind of connect to.
David Spoon:So you're thinking, I know, but he could do this, or he can do this.
David Spoon:There is nothing that God allows.
David Spoon:Nothing in your life that does not have a specific purpose.
David Spoon:Nothing that you go through is for nothing.
David Spoon:Get it?
David Spoon:It's like, wait, what do you mean?
David Spoon:That means that everything has value and meaning.
David Spoon:Ta da.
David Spoon:Congratulations, you're the winner.
David Spoon:Step up and get the prize.
David Spoon:That's it.
David Spoon:Everything has value because God is doing it.
David Spoon:Okay, who dreamed that the sun and the moon and the stars bowed down to him?
David Spoon:Was that Moses or Abraham or Aaron or Joseph?
David Spoon:It was the mighty Joe.
David Spoon:Joseph.
David Spoon:That's who it was.
David Spoon:Genesis 37, 5 and 9 as well.
David Spoon:There is your trivia question.
David Spoon:We'll take a short break, then come back.
David Spoon:You're listening to the David Spoon Experience right here on Kaam 770, the truth station here in Texas.
David Spoon:Your break.
David Spoon:We'll be back.
David Spoon:Don't go anywhere.
Radio Announcer:This KAAM radio show with your very own David Spoon is not a business but a non profit ministry.

Radio Announcer:Right here on kaam, the David Spoon Experience.
David Spoon:Teaching time.
David Spoon:I don't know how we're gonna do the breaks, Gabriel, so just look at me, I'll let you know.
David Spoon:I mean, this is the best I can tell you because I'm going to teach you something that I hope there's no way I can teach this.
David Spoon:I can't teach the worth, I can't teach the value.
David Spoon:But I'm going to do my best to share with you my heart in this process.
David Spoon:As American people, as people who live in America, we have been granted the right to pursue happiness.
David Spoon:And I want to make sure you understand what this means.
David Spoon:We have a preamble to United States Declaration of Independence.
David Spoon:And the preamble to the Declaration says, we hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, and that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
David Spoon:Now, I do want to point out it does not say life, liberty and the provisions of or for happiness.
David Spoon:In other words, the rights that we have and the preamble is that we get to pursue happiness, not that it's provided for us by the government.
David Spoon:So that's kind of an important point for people to recognize.
David Spoon:It would be nice if they quit trying to quote our Founding Fathers and then say they're entitled to something because of that provision, because it never says that.
David Spoon:Welcome back to the David Spoon Experience.
David Spoon:Thank you for joining us here at Kaam 770, the truth station here in Texas.
David Spoon:That's Ka Men 770, the true station here in Texas.
David Spoon:Let's see if you can get this next one.
David Spoon:Oh my goodness.
David Spoon:This next one.
David Spoon:Where did lot.
David Spoon:Lot encounter two angels?
David Spoon:Where did lot encounter two angels?
David Spoon:Was he.
David Spoon:This is Genesis 19:1.
David Spoon:Was he at a wilderness spring?
David Spoon:A city gate of Sodom, the new temple of Jerusalem?
David Spoon:Or a tent door?
David Spoon:So there's four places.
David Spoon:Genesis 19:1.
David Spoon:Where did Lot encounter two angels?
David Spoon:A wilderness spring, A city gate of Sodom, the new temple of Jerusalem.
David Spoon:Or a tent door?
David Spoon:Genesis 19:1.
David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon:So we Just want to encourage people to give.
David Spoon:Thank you for those that have given.
David Spoon:If you've never given, please pray about it.
David Spoon:If you can give, great.
David Spoon:If you can't, don't worry about it.
David Spoon:I'm really against the manipulation part.
David Spoon:Right.
David Spoon:I just want people to be aware.
David Spoon:It's a little tough.
David Spoon:Four weeks when I'm not there.
David Spoon:Live, the money goes down.
David Spoon:That's just how it goes.
David Spoon:I can't say anything about that.
David Spoon:That's not up to me.
David Spoon:That's up to the Lord.
David Spoon:But we're asking for people to just do your best.
David Spoon:If you cannot give, we just petition you as brothers and sisters.
David Spoon:We petition you as a ministry to pray for us.
David Spoon:Because we just feel that that is absolutely the key.
David Spoon:I don't know, I just think that prayer changes the universes.
David Spoon:Prayer changes lives, prayers change ministries.
David Spoon:So if you can't contribute personally, fine.
David Spoon:Pray for us.
David Spoon:Let the Lord.
David Spoon:Let the mighty powers of heaven be released.
David Spoon:Do that for us.
David Spoon:We just ask.
David Spoon:So our scripture, typically on Tuesdays, 2 Corinthians 8, 3, I testify according to their ability and beyond their ability.
David Spoon:They gave of their own accord.
David Spoon:You have to do this between you and God, right?
David Spoon:I'm just telling you right now.
David Spoon:The one thing I haven't talked about yet, when I'm getting ready to talk about it, is when we did that whole teaching on Acts.
David Spoon:I mean the people brought their money and they laid at the apostles feet.
David Spoon:You give it to the Lord.
David Spoon:That's between you and God.
David Spoon:What happens after that, that's up to.
David Spoon:Between the stewardship of the people and God.
David Spoon:But you lay it before the Lord.
David Spoon:The Lord is the one you give to and you only give to God.
David Spoon:You understand what I'm saying?
David Spoon:You give it unto the Lord.
David Spoon:He'll take care of the rest for everybody, us included.
David Spoon:Get it?
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:Check out that plus on the website.
David Spoon:A new it says no compromise.
David Spoon:It's kind of a fiery little 15 minute teaching.
David Spoon:I like it.
David Spoon:You don't have to like it, but I think it's cool on the website.
David Spoon:Check it all out on the website.
David Spoon:Hemustincrease.org prayer request hemostincrease.org praise report hemostincreased.org looking to give to this ministry.
David Spoon:Hemostincrease.org confused by what's happening right now.
David Spoon:Hemustincrease.org hemustincrease.org you're still here.
David Spoon:It's over.
David Spoon:Go home.
David Spoon:You know, every time I hear that, I think of my doctorate.
David Spoon:How I finished my Doctorate.
David Spoon:That was what I put in at the end of my doctorate.
Co-host:Oh, really?
Co-host:That's a classic movie.
David Spoon:And then he was just laughing when I was talking to him.
David Spoon:When we were reviewing, he was just laughing.
David Spoon:It's just like, you're lucky.
David Spoon:I mean, that's just the way my brain thinks.
David Spoon:It's like, that's it.
David Spoon:We're done.
David Spoon:Go home.
David Spoon:We have had enough.
David Spoon:Okay, cool.
David Spoon:Somebody is ready to answer a trivia question.
David Spoon:Let's send them on through.
David Spoon:Knock, knock.
David Spoon:This is David.
David Spoon:Who am I talking to?
Caller JD:Fine.
Caller JD:Good afternoon to you.
Caller JD:It's jd.
David Spoon:Hey, JD Hey, Bick.
David Spoon:How are ya?
Caller JD:Well, I'm gonna ask for a prayer request, but I'll answer your trivia first.
David Spoon:Okay, let me.
David Spoon:I'm gonna jot down.
David Spoon:So we have a prayer request.
David Spoon:All right, here we go.
David Spoon:Where did Lot encounter two angels?
David Spoon:One of these four places, a wilderness spring, a city gate of Sodom, the new temple of Jerusalem, or a tent door.
Caller JD:I believe it was where Abraham had.
Caller JD:After Abraham had been arguing with God about having five righteous men in Sodom and Gomorrah, that Lot, his nephew, met the angels at the gates to Sodom.
David Spoon:That is correct among yourself.
David Spoon:And actually did.
David Spoon:He went to 10.
David Spoon:He said, if there's 10 righteous people, will you spare the city?
David Spoon:And God said, sure.
David Spoon:But he started at a much higher number, which tells you exactly how us Jewish people think.
David Spoon:So if there's 50 righteous, God goes, yeah.
David Spoon:And he goes, 40, 30, 20, 10.
David Spoon:Couldn't resist, brother.
David Spoon:Couldn't resist.
David Spoon:How can we pray for you?
David Spoon:We've got an audience that's ready to pray for you.
David Spoon:What do you got going on?
Caller JD:Okay, so I have been helping a friend for more than a year with his business, and his business is not doing well.
Caller JD:And I am very concerned that he's taking me down with him.
Caller JD:And we had met, and I believe I told you that I was also a real estate broker, and I have a large brokerage who wants me to come on board with them.
Caller JD:But it's going to take my time, most of my time that I'm not going to have to give to our friend anymore.
Caller JD:And I just need some guidance on how to break this up.
David Spoon:Yeah.
David Spoon:Okay, cool.
David Spoon:And that's a.
David Spoon:It's such a worthy request because you really.
David Spoon:I mean, I know you.
David Spoon:You're just trying to do the right thing.
David Spoon:There's nothing weird or anything going on.
David Spoon:It's just like, I want to make the right call.
David Spoon:I don't want to step out before I should step too early.
David Spoon:Step too late.
David Spoon:You're just looking for the Lord to give you that.
David Spoon:Go this way.
David Spoon:You know.
David Spoon:You know that.
David Spoon: That voice, that Isaiah: David Spoon:Walk ye in it.
David Spoon:That's what you're looking for.
David Spoon:All right, let's pray for that very thing.
David Spoon:Can we do that, please?
David Spoon:All right, let's pray.
David Spoon:Father, we come before you right now.
David Spoon:We thank you for jd.
David Spoon:I am asking you right now to bless him first with a great sense of peace, the peace of mind that passes all understanding when we bring our issues to you, when we bring our struggles to you, when we bring our frustrations to you and our unsurities and trying to step it in the right direction.
David Spoon:Lord, you make a commitment that if we offer that petition, that request with the heart of thanksgiving and commit it to you, that there is the peace that passes all understanding.
David Spoon:It doesn't make sense and it doesn't have to, but that same peace will keep our hearts and minds.
David Spoon:That's what I'm asking for, my brother.
David Spoon:That his heart would be protected from the emotional part and his mind from the attacks of the enemy.
David Spoon:And, Lord, direct his steps.
David Spoon:Make the steps clear.
David Spoon:If it is forward, tell him how to take the step and how big of a step to take and what timing to take that step so that he can do it exactly in sync with you, because you are his priority, primary partner.
David Spoon:Give him that insight, Give him that understanding he wants to do what you want, dad.
David Spoon:Make it easy for your kid, make it simple for him, and give him that affirmation that he's looking for.
David Spoon:He's not doubting your existence.
David Spoon:He just wants to make the right decision and do it in the right timing.
David Spoon:Give him that insight he seeks from you.
David Spoon:In Jesus name, amen and amen.
Caller JD:Amen.
Caller JD:Thank you very, very much.
David Spoon:All right, my brother, you keep me posted and don't keep at a distance.
David Spoon:Keep me updated and I'll keep praying for you.
Caller JD:I will.
David Spoon:All right, my brother.
Caller JD:I will.
Caller JD:Thank you, brother.
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:God bless you.
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:Excellent job by jd.
David Spoon:Phenomenal as usual.
David Spoon:All right, let's get back into this teaching.
David Spoon:We'll do a short part of this, then we'll come back.
David Spoon:I mean, I've got a lot still got to do, but let's just get into this.
David Spoon:It's very fascinating element right here.
David Spoon:So we're in verse, we said 29, remember?
David Spoon:For God knew his people in advance and he chose them to become like his son so that his Son would be the firstborn with many brothers and sisters, verse 30.
David Spoon:And having chosen them, he called them to come to him, and he gave them right standing with Himself, and He promised them his glory.
David Spoon:I love stuff like this.
David Spoon:See, this is where I lose it.
David Spoon:It's absolutely amazing.
David Spoon:First of all, we've been chosen.
David Spoon:Now, again, that does not negate your responsibility to make a decision and to bear responsibility for the decisions you make.
David Spoon:That argument we'll get into in Romans 9.
David Spoon:But God has chosen you and called you.
David Spoon:And we've been given this right standing with him so that he can give us his promise of glory.
David Spoon:So people for years have been trying to figure out what is the glory?
David Spoon:What is the glory?
David Spoon:And there's probably 20 excellent theological definitions, but I'm going to give you the one non theological definition that's as correct as any other, and that is this.
David Spoon:The glory of God is God.
David Spoon:In his presence is the fullness of joy.
David Spoon:When his glory is manifested, of course his kingdom is manifested.
David Spoon:So you can tie it to that.
David Spoon:His will is done.
David Spoon:You can tie it to that, to that, to that.
David Spoon:Every one of those things is going to be 100% correct.
David Spoon:But the ultimate expression of the glory of God is God himself.
David Spoon:And even Moses, who was so hungry for God, he wanted more.
David Spoon:It just wasn't enough.
David Spoon:I want more.
David Spoon:You've done this.
David Spoon:I've done this.
David Spoon:I've spent this time with you.
David Spoon:My face is glowed, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
David Spoon:I want to see all of it.
David Spoon:And God's like, you can't see all of it yet, dude.
David Spoon:If you see all of it, you'll explode.
David Spoon:It's like, no, but I will give you as much as I can give you.
David Spoon:And that is ultimately what God is promising us is his glory, which ultimately is Him.
David Spoon:We might think we know what's coming because we've read Revelation, but I'm a little more confident that we're misunderstanding some of God's communication.
David Spoon:What's coming is connected to the glory of God, which absolutely surpasses our current ability to comprehend him in human form.
David Spoon:Moses couldn't see him because of the glory.
David Spoon:Well, probably us either.
David Spoon:Not this side of glory, but the other side.
David Spoon:I just have this absolute, I'm fully convinced can be fully theologically defended, that because we are in mortality, we cannot handle the revelation of immortality.
David Spoon:We can just grasp at it like little seeds.
David Spoon:But God has called you and I to a place of receiving and engaging with his glory, which is Him.
David Spoon:And no, I don't think the fullness is here on this side.
David Spoon:Yes.
David Spoon:I think the fullness is on the other side.
David Spoon:Cause it says, we will be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
David Spoon:But you can't do that now because you're in a mortal body and it's gotta be swallowed up by the immortal.
David Spoon:But something so far past our deepest concepts is coming.
David Spoon:And God has called us.
David Spoon:He's chosen us, and he's called us to come to Him.
David Spoon:And he's given us this right standing with him, and he's promising us his glory.
David Spoon:That is some serious, serious stuff.
David Spoon:That is how much God loves you, that he wants to manifest himself to you in such a way that you get who he is and you will be so beyond blessed.
David Spoon:We can't do it on this dark side here.
David Spoon:I encourage you to use that as part of your hope.
David Spoon:All the stuff you're going through, it can be really.
David Spoon:It can be a downer, it can be a drag.
David Spoon:But the stuff that's coming, Paul said, two different times, not worthy to be compared.
David Spoon:Not worthy to be put on the same scale.
David Spoon:What's coming far exceeds all your expectations.
David Spoon:That's who God is.
David Spoon:We'll take a short break, and then we'll come back.
David Spoon:You're listening to the David Spoon Experience right here on Kaam 770, the true stationer in Texas.
David Spoon:Short break.
David Spoon:Don't go anywhere.
David Spoon:The David Spoon Experience.
David Spoon:Knock, knock.
David Spoon:This is David.
David Spoon:Who am I talking to?
Caller Stan:Hey, David, is brother Stan.
David Spoon:Hey, brother Stan.
David Spoon:How are you, brother?
David Spoon:We mentioned it a little bit earlier.
David Spoon:I want people to keep on praying for you.
David Spoon:How are you doing?
David Spoon:And how's your wife?
Caller Stan:Well, I want to ask the trivia question and give a praise report.
David Spoon:Oh, okay.
David Spoon:So let's do the trivia question first.
David Spoon:And there's a little leeway in this one statement because it has, like, three different really practical responses.
David Spoon:But let's just go with the ones on your heart.
David Spoon:What kind of giver does God love?
David Spoon:What kind of giver?
Caller Stan:Cheerful or happy?
David Spoon:That is Gretamundo.
David Spoon:Cheerful, happy, generous, great, spirited.
David Spoon:Any of those will work with God responds people that say, here it is.
David Spoon:Praise the Lord.
David Spoon:I'm glad to give it.
David Spoon:Not people that go, I got a five.
David Spoon:I think I could squeeze that out.
David Spoon:That's not what the Lord wants.
David Spoon:That's not the right kind of offering for God.
David Spoon:We don't do stuff like that.
David Spoon:That's bad, Right?
David Spoon:We do it with the right heart, the right spirit.
David Spoon:Right?
Caller Stan:That's right.
David Spoon:All right, give me an update.
David Spoon:Give me an update update.
Caller Stan:Wife's out of hospital.
Caller Stan:Change woman.
Caller Stan:High in spirit, high in praise, high in energy.
Caller Stan:The Lord is just God, and I appreciate him in the witness of all the radio organists and you, brother Dave, and everybody at the radio station.
Caller Stan:My God answers prayer because it was heavy on my heart on how, my God, how my wife would behave after being released from the hospital.
Caller Stan:She is in wonderful spirits, and it's just a great thing that God has done for me because I had a lot of things weighing on me.
Caller Stan:You know, things that she used to do, paying the bills and all of that, that had to be on me, which I take that.
Caller Stan:You know, I get that the vow said, better work.
Caller Stan:She can help reaching poor.
Caller Stan:And so I'm proud of myself because I've done what I could to step in for my wife who was missing for those.
Caller Stan:For those short weeks.
Caller Stan:And she's a sweetheart.
Caller Stan:She's changed.
Caller Stan:God has answered our prayer.
David Spoon:Hallelujah, brother.
David Spoon:Wow, that is just a fantastic testimony.
David Spoon:Everybody who's listening should recognize.
David Spoon:And then we shoot this off to Gary right now, who's got his issue going on with his wife Sheila.
David Spoon:It's like, listen, God does stuff.
David Spoon:Let's keep pushing until something happens.
David Spoon:That's right.
Caller Stan:What a great testimony for Gary.
Caller Stan:Now I'm praying for you and everybody else, the saints prayers will be answered.
David Spoon:That's right.
Caller Stan:God answer prayer of his people, his children.
Caller Stan:I love y'all.
Caller Stan:Be blessed.
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:God bless you, brother.
David Spoon:Oh.
David Spoon:Welcome back to the David Spoon Experience.
David Spoon:Thank you for joining us here at KAM 7, the Truth Station here in Texas.
David Spoon:That's KA Amen 770, the Truth Station here in Texas.
David Spoon:So for those that are not sure, this last text that I read out of is Romans 8.
David Spoon:And we started at verse 29, and all we did was do verse 29 and 30.
David Spoon:But we did that out of the NLT, which is the new living translation.
David Spoon:And I specifically did that on purpose because I like the way it breaks down in the way it communicates it.
David Spoon:So that is what we were teaching on.
David Spoon:Now we'll do one more Triv question, but we've got to be quick.
David Spoon:So everybody listen.
David Spoon:If you're going to call in, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
David Spoon:If you're not going to call in, not a problem.
David Spoon:In Esther, chapter seven.
David Spoon:Who met his death on the gallows he had built for another man.
David Spoon:Esther, chapter seven, actually, verse nine and ten.
David Spoon:Who met his death on the gallows that he had built for another man?
David Spoon:Was it Ahab, Elijah, Haman, or Dathan, Ahab Elijah Haman or Dathan Esther, 7, 9, 10.
David Spoon:Who met his death on the gallows he had built for another man.
David Spoon:Ahab Elijah Haman or Dathan.
David Spoon:That's the question.
David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon:Or send an email davidemustincrease.org in the meantime, we are gonna do history.
David Spoon:So let's do that.
David Spoon:Let's go.
David Spoon:Let faith in the past.
David Spoon:Let's go.
David Spoon:Let's share this.
David Spoon:Last year, Aunt Deb didn't like it.
David Spoon:She's going to give me a nice little jab in the text.
David Spoon:But this is one of my favorite lines.
David Spoon:She doesn't like this particular line, but I think it's funny.
David Spoon:Here we go.
David Spoon:So today, first of all, it's sweatpants day.
David Spoon:So that's good.
David Spoon:Anybody got a problem with that?
David Spoon:Sweatpants, Right?
David Spoon:Right.
David Spoon:Gotta love sweatpants, right?
Co-host:It is cold outside, so, yes, sweatpants are good to wear.
David Spoon:I'm still in shorts, aren't I?
David Spoon:It's Squirrel Appreciation Day.
David Spoon:I got nothing to say for that.
David Spoon:The only thing I'd say about Squirrel Appreciation Day is, you know, Rocky and Bullwinkle.
David Spoon:I don't know what else to think.
David Spoon:Right.
David Spoon:Is there another squirrel I want to.
David Spoon:Yeah.
David Spoon:Rock and Bullwinkle.
David Spoon:National Granola Bar Day.
David Spoon:Kind of like granola bars.
David Spoon:So I'm okay with that.
David Spoon:Right, right.
David Spoon:Do you like granola bars?
Co-host:Yes.
Co-host:Yes.
Co-host:It's a good day.
Co-host:Granola bar day.
David Spoon:Okay.
David Spoon:And then it's also one liners day.
David Spoon:And so that means one liners.
David Spoon:And so I have this one line.
David Spoon:Don't get offended.
David Spoon:I'm not saying that to Deb.
David Spoon:It's to everybody else.
David Spoon:She's already going to be offended by it.
David Spoon:Here it is.
David Spoon:Ready?
David Spoon:Here's one of my lines that I think is brilliant in regards to one liners.
David Spoon:Don't use this to make people feel bad about themselves.
David Spoon:Thank you.
David Spoon:But my one line is simply this.
David Spoon:I'm sorry that God didn't choose you.
David Spoon:Isn't that mean I don't tell you the other line to that, but I'm sorry that God didn't choose you.
Co-host:We might get a call from Aunt Deb now.
Co-host:We'll see.
David Spoon:We'll see what happens.
David Spoon: Last thing,: David Spoon:There were photographs taken of Pluto at the Lowell Observatory, which I used to live in Flagstaff, Arizona, and have prayed at the Lowell Observatory.
David Spoon:Little spooky there, just to let you know.
David Spoon:And it wasn't identified until a month later, and then it was finally declassified because they figured out it wasn't a planet, then that it was a planet, and then it wasn't a planet, then it was a planet, then it wasn't a planet, and we'll find out in a couple years.
David Spoon:They don't know it's a planet.
David Spoon:Sure.
David Spoon:Okay.
David Spoon:It's not a planet.
David Spoon:Sure.
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:We do have somebody ready to answer trivia question.
David Spoon:Let's send them on through.
David Spoon:Knock, knock.
David Spoon:This is David.
David Spoon:Who am I talking to?
David Spoon:Hey, David, the trumpet's blowing.
David Spoon:This is Eric.
David Spoon:Hey, Eric.
David Spoon:How are you, brother?
David Spoon:Just doing fine to answer the trivia question really quick.
David Spoon:Okay.
David Spoon:Esther, chapter seven.
David Spoon:Who met his death on the gallows he had built for another man.
David Spoon:Who was that?
David Spoon:That one, Hammond.
David Spoon:Haman is correct, sir.
David Spoon:Haman.
David Spoon:So, yeah, that's really what it is.
David Spoon:And we used to have cookies when we were kids, and they would make them, and they would call the cookies in Hebrew school chamans, and you would eat them like you were eating chemin.
David Spoon:I'm serious.
David Spoon:Yeah, that was a little weird, right?
David Spoon:I just threw my voice out by trying to pronounce it.
David Spoon:That's awesome, brother.
David Spoon:That's hilarious.
David Spoon:Enjoy the show.
David Spoon:I love the teaching.
David Spoon:I'll get off.
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:God bless you, bro.
David Spoon:All right, bye.
David Spoon:Bye.
David Spoon:See Eric?
David Spoon:He knows.
David Spoon:Bam.
David Spoon:Get in there.
David Spoon:Bam.
David Spoon:Say it.
David Spoon:Bam.
David Spoon:Get it done.
David Spoon:Good job, Eric.
David Spoon:Excellent.
David Spoon:Okay, so now instead of going into the last half, I'm going to read this last verse, but I'm only going to talk about the first half of it.
David Spoon:And you know why?
David Spoon:You'll understand why.
David Spoon:So verse 31.
David Spoon:What can we say about such wonderful things as these?
David Spoon:If God is for us, who can be against us?
David Spoon:Next week, I'm going to pick it up in the if God is for us, who can be against us?
David Spoon:But I want to back up to verse 31.
David Spoon:What can we say about such wonderful things as these?
David Spoon:When we're reading Romans, chapter eight, when we're reading Galatians, chapter four, five and six, when you're reading Revelation.
David Spoon:In fact, when you're reading anything in Scripture, if you get something in scripture and you're like, wow, like just the other day, me sharing with you about Peter saying the Lord inclines his ear to the prayer of the righteous, how he leans over.
David Spoon:If you get something from the Lord, you got to recognize what it is.
David Spoon:It's something wonderful that God has given you.
David Spoon:People read the Bible and they get nothing.
David Spoon:You understand that, right?
David Spoon:Zero dead wood.
David Spoon:Sawdust.
David Spoon:We'll read the Word of God and something pops out there and we look at it and it's like a piece of gold.
David Spoon:Well, you know what it is?
David Spoon:A piece of gold.
David Spoon:Eternal gold.
David Spoon:So the reason I'm keying in on that is I want you to be aware that when you get into the Word and I'll get into if God is for us, who can be against us?
David Spoon:But I want you to catch this.
David Spoon:What can we say about such wonderful things as these?
David Spoon:These things that God manifests to us in His Word Here?
David Spoon:You know what you say?
David Spoon:Thank you.
David Spoon:That's what you say.
David Spoon:You praise him, you give him thanks.
David Spoon:There's so many wonderful things God has shown you, is showing you and will show you.
David Spoon:Let them know how much you appreciate it.
David Spoon:Appreciate the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
David Spoon:Get it?
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:Hi, folks, you've been listening to the David Spoon Experience right here on Kaam 770, the truth station here in Texas.
David Spoon:22 and a half hour break and we'll be back.
David Spoon:More insanity with Spoonanity and guess what?
David Spoon:We'll talk to you then.
David Spoon:The views expressed on the preceding program were those of the speakers and not necessarily those of kaam, DJRD Broadcasting or its sponsors.
