02-28-2025 part 2: Exploring the Divine Nature of Jesus: A Profound Inquiry

Dr. David Spoon elucidates the profound necessity of prioritizing our relationship with God above all else, especially when navigating the complexities of family dynamics and personal convictions. Central to our discussion is the imperative commandment to love God with our entire being, which serves as a guiding principle in both our spiritual and familial engagements. Spoon draws attention to the biblical narrative of Eli and his sons, illustrating the dire consequences that arise when one places familial loyalty above divine devotion. He further emphasizes that true growth in faith mirrors the parable of the mustard seed, wherein a believer's journey reflects a gradual yet transformative alignment with Christ. This episode is a compelling reminder that our commitment to God should precede all worldly attachments, ensuring a life anchored in divine purpose and clarity.

Dr. David Spoon's dialogue presents a compelling examination of the intersection between faith and life’s challenges. The discussion begins with the assertion that, irrespective of the trials we face—natural disasters or personal turmoil—divine assistance is steadfast and reliable. The speaker emphasizes the necessity of firmly grasping the eternal truths of faith, which serve to provide clarity and reorder our perceptions in the context of life's vicissitudes. This theme is further enriched by an exploration of Jesus' divine identity, countering contemporary interpretations that seek to portray Him merely as a moral teacher. The speaker asserts that Jesus unequivocally claimed His divinity multiple times within the Gospels, thereby challenging listeners to recognize and affirm His true nature.

Moreover, the conversation delves into the biblical narrative of Eli and his sons, highlighting the critical importance of honoring God within familial contexts. The speaker stresses that our devotion to God must take precedence over familial loyalties, a notion that is deeply rooted in scriptural teachings. The episode also employs the metaphor of the mustard seed to illustrate the gradual yet profound growth of faith in the believer’s life. Just as the mustard seed evolves into a robust tree, so too can our faith flourish through persistent nurturing and adherence to divine teachings.

In summation, the episode serves as both a theological treatise and a practical guide for living out one’s faith. Dr. Spoon encourages listeners to deepen their relationship with God through daily devotion and readiness to serve others, thereby fostering a community imbued with compassion and mutual support. This multifaceted discussion not only clarifies essential theological principles but also inspires listeners to actively engage in their spiritual development.

Takeaways:

  • Dr. David Spoon's transformative journey from a troubled youth to a devoted follower of Jesus exemplifies the profound impact of faith and personal redemption.
  • The emphasis on loving God above all else is paramount; this principle must supersede familial and personal inclinations to maintain spiritual integrity.
  • The discourse surrounding Jesus' divine nature is critical; his assertions within the Gospels affirm his identity as God, countering claims of him being merely a moral teacher.
  • Eli's failure to prioritize God's honor over his sons serves as a cautionary tale about the repercussions of misplaced familial allegiance.
  • The metaphor of the mustard seed illustrates the gradual growth and manifestation of the kingdom of God within individuals, reflecting the need for patience in spiritual development.
  • Bitterness, likened to poison, can hinder one's spiritual growth; thus, believers are encouraged to release past grievances and focus on the present and future in Christ.

Speaker A:

And now for something completely different.

Speaker A:

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

Speaker A:

It's fantastic, phenomenal, always fun, usually somewhat fascinating.

Speaker A:

Friday as we head into the weekend not being afraid, even if the earth gives way or the mountains fall into the seas, because our help comes from the Lord, the first lesson has to do with you and me getting a grip.

Speaker A:

Isn't that funny?

Speaker A:

Sometimes we just need to hang on to or just to grip the truth.

Speaker A:

And that puts all other things into their proper place and their proper perspective.

Speaker A:

I want you to understand something about Jesus.

Speaker A:

The world will try to deny his deity, claiming he was just a good moral teacher.

Speaker A:

Yet this good moral teacher clearly taught that he is God more than five times in the Gospels.

Speaker A:

Next, we review of what happened with Eli and his two sons when he did not honor God before the rest of his family.

Speaker A:

Comes down to something very, very specific.

Speaker A:

And, and that is simply this.

Speaker A:

We are commanded without reservation, to love God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind.

Speaker A:

First, he comes before family.

Speaker A:

He comes before ourselves.

Speaker A:

There are no exceptions.

Speaker A:

And finally, our last devotional diamond of the day is going to focus on the personal application of the kingdom of God in our lives.

Speaker A:

Jesus made it clear that the kingdom of God is like a mustard seed.

Speaker A:

He went on to explain that the seed, the mustard seed, grows and becomes bigger and bigger brothers and sisters.

Speaker A:

We don't start off being exactly like Jesus in practicality.

Speaker A:

We do so in position, but not in our practicality or our practice.

Speaker A:

As we start to grow up, we begin to reflect Jesus more and more.

Speaker A:

Glory back by glory.

Speaker B:

David Spoon's life has been an experience.

Speaker B:

While growing up in a Jewish family, he made a wrong turn towards drug abuse.

Speaker B:

Then David Spoon found Jesus Christ and his life completely changed.

Speaker B:

The more he studied the Gospel, the more he wanted to share his experiences with others.

Speaker B:

After 35 years of ministry, David discovered a new path of service.

Speaker B:

He joined KAAM and this radio program began.

Speaker B:

You're about to hear the David Spoon Experience.

Speaker A:

Welcome to the David Spoon Experience.

Speaker A:

Local, national and heavenly talk.

Speaker A:

Here's what else we're looking at during the show.

Speaker A:

Lessons for surviving living and prevailing politics, entertainment and current events, personal revelations, spiritual observations.

Speaker A:

My life's insanity's in oy vey.

Speaker A:

So much more.

Speaker A:

Now remember, it's not professional radio.

Speaker A:

And to help us understand it's not professional radio because that's an important part of what we are and what we do.

Speaker A:

We want to talk to our very own Jam and Jacob, also known as the Touche Turtle The Touche Turtle of professional radio.

Speaker A:

That's right, folks, if you know that one, you are old.

Speaker A:

Ladies and gentlemen, our very own Jam and Jacob.

Speaker A:

Jam and Jacob is the David Spoon Experience Professional radio.

Speaker C:

No, it is not.

Speaker A:

David, Good job.

Speaker A:

Touche Turtle.

Speaker A:

Good job.

Speaker A:

That's not one you've heard of either, is it?

Speaker C:

No, I've never heard of that.

Speaker A:

If you guys know the Touche Turtle, I just want to say you be old.

Speaker A:

That's my comment.

Speaker A:

You be old.

Speaker A:

I'm just gonna leave it there.

Speaker A:

You be old.

Speaker A:

It was a turtle that was like one of the four musketeers.

Speaker A:

It's a long time ago.

Speaker C:

I've never heard of these cartoons.

Speaker C:

Like, I'm waiting for it to be like the Mighty Mouse.

Speaker A:

Yeah, well, there's all.

Speaker A:

There's so many.

Speaker A:

And so I can't.

Speaker A:

And I can't remember if I did the cat one with you.

Speaker A:

So I'm gonna do that next on Monday because that's one of the great, great cartoon characters.

Speaker A:

And I might have done it, but I did it kind of quick.

Speaker A:

You're going to get a reintroduction of that one.

Speaker A:

That might be one we might allow to repeat because it's so good.

Speaker A:

You'll get it nicely.

Speaker A:

All right, so here's the bottom line.

Speaker A:

Bottom line is it's not professional radio.

Speaker A:

What do you got to know?

Speaker A:

It's not.

Speaker A:

It's just radio.

Speaker A:

We just do the best we can.

Speaker A:

And all we want to know is how you're doing.

Speaker A:

How's it going?

Speaker A:

That's it.

Speaker A:

That's all we're doing.

Speaker A:

And so if you've got something you want to share, you can do that by sending an email.

Speaker A:

-:

Speaker A:

-:

Speaker A:

-:

Speaker A:

-:

Speaker A:

-:

Speaker A:

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

Speaker A:

Talking to Jammin Jacob is like heading into the weekend.

Speaker C:

Thank you, David.

Speaker C:

Happy Friday.

Speaker A:

Happy Friday to you, my friend.

Speaker A:

If I remember right from yesterday, you do not have to work this weekend.

Speaker A:

That's kind of nice.

Speaker C:

I don't.

Speaker C:

I don't have to work this weekend.

Speaker A:

Very nice.

Speaker A:

Any other plans shaping up?

Speaker A:

Anything coming together, or is it Just gonna be free.

Speaker A:

Free.

Speaker A:

Free flying all the weekend long.

Speaker C:

Free flying.

Speaker C:

Free flying so far.

Speaker A:

Very nice.

Speaker A:

I'm very, very happy for you.

Speaker A:

I am.

Speaker A:

Okay, look, why would you send us an email?

Speaker A:

Why would you even text us or why would you bother to call us?

Speaker A:

Well, that could be for praise reports, because we love them.

Speaker A:

That could be for prayer requests, because we like joining one another for the good, for the bad, going through it all, weeping together and laughing together, rejoicing together and crying together, because that's what the body of Christ is supposed to do.

Speaker A:

That's it.

Speaker A:

Instead of making this overly complex, let's keep in mind that some of our deep difference is we are the body of Christ.

Speaker A:

An elbow is not a shoulder, which is not a kneecap, which is not an ankle, but it's one body getting in.

Speaker A:

Exceedingly narrow.

Speaker A:

The Narrow Path.

Speaker A:

We even have a show on this station called the Narrow Path.

Speaker A:

It's narrow getting in.

Speaker A:

Once you're in, it gets a little broader.

Speaker A:

Once you get in, it's the body.

Speaker A:

And so if you've got a prayer request, bring it.

Speaker A:

Let's pray.

Speaker A:

That's what we do.

Speaker A:

On top of that, maybe something just struck you.

Speaker A:

Funnier, just like, ooh, yeah.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Yeah, okay, cool.

Speaker A:

Awesome.

Speaker A:

All right.

Speaker A:

You can also answer Bible trivia.

Speaker A:

Who died giving birth to Benjamin?

Speaker A:

Who died giving birth to Benjamin?

Speaker A:

Genesis 35, 16, 18.

Speaker A:

Who died giving birth to Benjamin?

Speaker A:

,:

Speaker A:

Al, of course, striking early by saying his mom, of course.

Speaker A:

That's a nice job, Al.

Speaker A:

Nice job.

Speaker A:

All right, Anyway, if you want to reach out to us, you can call us.

Speaker A:

It's a phone.

Speaker A:

Probably won't hurt you.

Speaker A:

-:

Speaker A:

-:

Speaker A:

-:

Speaker A:

-:

Speaker A:

Or you can send an email, David, at hemustincrease.org okay.

Speaker A:

All right.

Speaker A:

In the meantime, we're gonna do our DNA.

Speaker A:

We do DNA every day.

Speaker A:

We do not care.

Speaker A:

We think it's important, so we're gonna keep doing it.

Speaker A:

We hope you like it.

Speaker A:

But it's a reminder.

Speaker A:

The very reminder we were talking about before.

Speaker A:

D stands for draw closer to the Lord daily.

Speaker A:

So every time I check this, I find out it's the same definition.

Speaker A:

It's so weird.

Speaker A:

You go into the dictionary and you read 10 different dictionaries, and every time you look up the word daily, you.

Speaker A:

It's the same Thing I don't know, man.

Speaker A:

Maybe it's a conspiracy, but daily seems to be daily.

Speaker A:

So draw closer to the Lord daily.

Speaker A:

And here's the reason why.

Speaker A:

Not for legalism.

Speaker A:

I can't stand that stuff.

Speaker A:

You want to know why?

Speaker A:

Because it'll make your life better.

Speaker A:

It'll make the life of the people around you better.

Speaker A:

It'll make your spouse better, your children better, your brothers, your sisters, everybody you touch base with.

Speaker A:

Because the more of Jesus that's connected to you, the more of Jesus reflects to others.

Speaker A:

There you go.

Speaker A:

Make life better.

Speaker A:

Draw closer to the Lord daily.

Speaker A:

That's the d N Never be ashamed of Jesus or His words.

Speaker A:

We talked about this yesterday in studying the Book of Revelation.

Speaker A:

We were talking about the Church of Sardis, how Jesus said, for those that maintain, for those that overcome, I will confess them before my Father and the angels.

Speaker A:

Jesus demonstrating that awesomeness of bragging about us and not being ashamed of us.

Speaker A:

We cannot afford to be so moved by what other people think of us that we shame our Lord based on that exact premise.

Speaker A:

They crucified Jesus because they didn't want to move the people the wrong way.

Speaker A:

That's not a good thing.

Speaker A:

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

Speaker A:

A Always be ready.

Speaker C:

To serve.

Speaker A:

To serve.

Speaker A:

So the idea of being ready is to be attentive, right?

Speaker A:

It's kind of like that same thing where we talk about this when somebody's going on a race.

Speaker A:

On your mark, get set, right?

Speaker A:

So you're like, okay, set.

Speaker A:

I'm ready.

Speaker A:

Here we go.

Speaker A:

That's the thing.

Speaker A:

We need to be ready in the Lord to honor our King and to be a vessel of anything he desires.

Speaker A:

Because that's how he sets forth his plans with us, that we are responsive to him and do the things he puts before us.

Speaker A:

And that requires of you and I to be less selfish.

Speaker A:

That's really what it requires to be more thoughtful of others and aware and in tune with the Lord and not just keep worrying about our own thing.

Speaker A:

I'm telling you, this is a fact.

Speaker A:

Many people have experienced this.

Speaker A:

I've had people write me about this.

Speaker A:

This is not even a joke.

Speaker A:

When you add other people into your sphere of your universe and you care about them, it's amazing how less discouraging your own universe is.

Speaker A:

And it's almost as though God gives you more grace because you're extending grace to other people.

Speaker A:

God gives you more grace because you care about others.

Speaker A:

That's just like, that's the way to do this that way right there.

Speaker A:

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

Speaker A:

A Always be ready to serve.

Speaker A:

Your trivia question.

Speaker A:

Who died giving birth to Benjamin?

Speaker A:

Genesis 35, 16, 18.

Speaker A:

In the meantime, I am jumping into a teaching.

Speaker A:

This is called let's Get a Grip.

Speaker A:

I love these teachings because they're just.

Speaker A:

They're short, but they're very specific.

Speaker A:

John 18:4 says this.

Speaker A:

Then Jesus, knowing everything that was about to happen to him, went out and said to them, who is it you're looking for?

Speaker A:

So I would like to ask you a question and see if you can answer this question for me.

Speaker A:

It's a valid question.

Speaker A:

It's one that does consider serious and deep thought.

Speaker A:

Can you tell me exactly, with preciseness, everything that's going to happen to you five minutes from now?

Speaker A:

No, you can't.

Speaker A:

Well, why not?

Speaker A:

Because you don't exist five minutes from now.

Speaker A:

Who can tell you everything that's going to happen five minutes from now?

Speaker A:

Wouldn't it be somebody that's omniscient?

Speaker A:

Wouldn't it be somebody that knows everything that's going to happen?

Speaker A:

Wouldn't that be God?

Speaker A:

Hmm.

Speaker A:

Then Jesus knowing everything that was about to happen.

Speaker A:

What do you mean he knows everything?

Speaker A:

Only God can know everything.

Speaker A:

Exactly.

Speaker A:

Do you know everything?

Speaker A:

No, only God does.

Speaker A:

But Jesus knew everything that was going to happen because Jesus is God.

Speaker A:

And for those that are struggling with that, and I understand some people struggle with that.

Speaker A:

You need to understand or get a grip on this.

Speaker A:

Not only did he teach that he was the son of God and they tried to stone him, because it says, when you say you're the son of somebody, that makes you their equal because you're part of the family.

Speaker A:

And they actually we're going to stone him for that.

Speaker A:

Which is another testimony that he says that he's God.

Speaker A:

There are multiple other.

Speaker A:

I'm not even talking about acts through revelation.

Speaker A:

I'm just doing Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Speaker A:

And if you really want to get your noodle cooked, and I know you do, Jesus forgave third party sin.

Speaker A:

What don't you understand?

Speaker A:

Only God can forgive third party sin.

Speaker A:

You can forgive people who've wounded you, they can forgive you.

Speaker A:

You got that?

Speaker A:

But you can't forgive somebody's sin that's over on a different country that did something to somebody else somewhere else.

Speaker A:

But Jesus did.

Speaker A:

Only God can do that.

Speaker A:

Don't you get it?

Speaker A:

That's the key.

Speaker A:

So we need to have in our grip, in our understanding that Jesus is God and just in case you need a little bit of push on this, I'll help you out.

Speaker A:

The disciples are with Jesus in the boat.

Speaker A:

And Jesus says, what?

Speaker A:

Let's go over to the other side.

Speaker A:

Then what happens?

Speaker A:

There's a storm.

Speaker A:

And the disciples were thinking, oh my, we're going to drown.

Speaker A:

They wake Jesus up.

Speaker A:

Jesus has everything calmed down.

Speaker A:

And then he tells them, what's the matter with you?

Speaker A:

Why do you have so little faith?

Speaker A:

What do you mean?

Speaker A:

Why do you have so little faith?

Speaker A:

The storm was going to drown.

Speaker A:

It was going to kill us all.

Speaker A:

Jesus is chiding them because it was Jesus who said were going to the other side.

Speaker A:

If that boat went over as a submarine, it was going to the other side because God said, we're going over there and nothing would stop that.

Speaker A:

This is why when God talks to you, this is why, when you have the promises of God in His word, this is why when the Lord confirms or gives you something, gives you some kind of encouragement, some kind of refreshment, this is why you should recognize who.

Speaker A:

Who it is that we are dealing with.

Speaker A:

The King of all.

Speaker A:

All things exist by him and through him.

Speaker A:

And he's made a commitment to you.

Speaker A:

And we should be very quick to say, thank you, Lord.

Speaker A:

Right?

Speaker A:

All right, who died giving birth to Benjamin?

Speaker A:

Genesis 35, 16, 18.

Speaker A:

The answer would be Rachel.

Speaker A:

Rachel perished giving birth.

Speaker A:

That is the Scriptures.

Speaker A:

All right, we'll take a short break and then come back.

Speaker A:

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

Speaker A:

Short break.

Speaker A:

Don't go anywhere.

Speaker A:

Galatians, chapter 5, verse 1.

Speaker A:

This is one of the first verses in my Christian faith that I learned, which is, you know, you don't think about it, but when I first became a Christian, people would share this verse with me.

Speaker A:

I didn't know why.

Speaker A:

I was going to find out why, because God was going to set me free from a lot of drug use.

Speaker A:

But I didn't know then what was going on.

Speaker A:

I was like, oh, I'll keep hearing this verse.

Speaker A:

Galatians, chapter 5, verse 1.

Speaker A:

The freedom for freedom.

Speaker A:

Christ has set us free.

Speaker A:

Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.

Speaker A:

So now in our society, you say the word slavery and people start going.

Speaker A:

And then everybody starts freaking out.

Speaker A:

You know what?

Speaker A:

We're never going to change what the Gospel is.

Speaker A:

And the Gospel is the reality, the truth.

Speaker A:

We're not going to alter for culture.

Speaker A:

We're not going to say it differently.

Speaker A:

So people aren't offended if you're offended.

Speaker A:

Turn the radio off.

Speaker A:

Okay?

Speaker A:

That's your answer.

Speaker A:

You got fingers, use them.

Speaker A:

Here's our earth.

Speaker A:

You got the ability to turn it on.

Speaker A:

You got the ability to turn it off.

Speaker A:

Here's the bottom line.

Speaker A:

Every one of us.

Speaker A:

Every one of us before Jesus Christ was in bondage to sin.

Speaker A:

Every one of us now that we are in Jesus Christ, we are free from the penalty of that sin, and the Lord is working in us, the process to overcome that sin.

Speaker A:

Practically, we've talked about it multiple times.

Speaker A:

You understand salvation from a little bit of a smart, not smart, smart, multiple scripture point of view.

Speaker A:

Scriptures talk about salvation being past tense.

Speaker A:

Scripture talks about salvation being present tense, and Scripture talks about salvation being future tense.

Speaker A:

The only way that could happen is if.

Speaker A:

Watch this.

Speaker A:

Salvation is past tense, present tense, and future tense.

Speaker A:

The only way it can happen is because that's what it says.

Speaker A:

And so in that, we need to understand that from the past point of view, we are free from the penalty of sin.

Speaker A:

Yay.

Speaker A:

Currently, we're going through what is called sanctification, where we're being delivered.

Speaker A:

We're delivered from the power of sin.

Speaker A:

And we're learning in our own lives.

Speaker A:

We don't have to live for sin.

Speaker A:

And then eventually, when we're with the Lord forever and ever, we will be free from the presence of sin.

Speaker A:

And there won't be any evil, any bad, any yucky.

Speaker A:

Okay, cool.

Speaker A:

In the meantime, while the justification, while the penalty for sin is done, while the freedom is there, the sanctification process is the one where he makes you look like Jesus now that he's pronounced you to be like Jesus.

Speaker A:

And that's the one you got to fight through.

Speaker A:

That's the one that you have to go, you know what?

Speaker A:

I'm free.

Speaker A:

I just don't have to do that.

Speaker A:

I don't have to.

Speaker A:

That, therefore, becomes a responsibility because the scripture says, stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.

Speaker A:

Which means that you can, but if you do, it'll be your choice.

Speaker A:

The David Spoon Experience.

Speaker A:

Welcome back to the David Spoon Experience.

Speaker A:

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

Speaker A:

That's Ka Men 770, the Truth Station here in Texas, where we're getting ready for our next trivia question.

Speaker A:

Now, I'm going to have Jacob play the horn.

Speaker A:

We're going to play it low because sometimes it plays and it's really loud in my ear.

Speaker A:

But I want you to know this ahead of time for this trivia question.

Speaker A:

So go ahead and play the horn.

Speaker A:

Go ahead and do that.

Speaker A:

All right, here is your trivia question.

Speaker A:

Who is the youngest son of Abraham?

Speaker A:

I'm sorry?

Speaker A:

Who is the youngest son of Adam mentioned by name?

Speaker A:

Who is the youngest son of Adam mentioned by name?

Speaker A:

Genesis 4.

Speaker A:

25.

Speaker A:

Nice job.

Speaker A:

Alright, good job on that one.

Speaker A:

So who is the youngest son mentioned?

Speaker A:

The youngest son of Adam mentioned by name.

Speaker A:

Genesis 4.

Speaker A:

25 is your opportunity to respond.

Speaker A:

Give you a reference point.

Speaker A:

-:

Speaker A:

-:

Speaker A:

-:

Speaker A:

-:

Speaker A:

You can send an email davidemustincrease.org who is the youngest son of Adam mentioned by name?

Speaker A:

There you go.

Speaker A:

I do want to thank everybody for all their givings that they did and everybody really stepping up.

Speaker A:

Really great blessing.

Speaker A:

We were able to pay radio rent today and I am supremely blessed by that.

Speaker A:

And you will be stuck with me for yet another month, so that's all I can say to you.

Speaker A:

In the meantime, I do want to make sure that we stay on target for the things that we are doing.

Speaker A:

We are going to do our teaching and we've got some history we need to cover and some jokes that we might squeeze or get into if we can.

Speaker A:

But I want to go through this one little past thing.

Speaker A:

This is coming out of Acts 8.

Speaker A:

23.

Speaker A:

Now, if you want to answer to your question, you can still answer.

Speaker A:

I'm able to stop the teaching and take your call.

Speaker A:

That's not a big deal.

Speaker A:

Acts 8.

Speaker A:

23.

Speaker A:

This is the passage we're dealing with.

Speaker A:

As Philip and Stephen were doing their cool thing and Peter was doing his preachy thing.

Speaker A:

This is what came out in Acts chapter 8, verse 23.

Speaker A:

For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity.

Speaker A:

I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity.

Speaker A:

So can we talk about that?

Speaker A:

Poisoned by bitterness.

Speaker A:

Have you ever eaten something that was past the date and you paid the price?

Speaker A:

Yeah, I think you kind of know what we're talking about there.

Speaker A:

Additionally, though, have you ever known somebody that has ingested some kind of poison?

Speaker A:

Additionally, have you ever recognized that cancer in its own way is a poison in the body?

Speaker A:

And one of the things that Christians have to be aware of and cautious of is being poisoned by bitterness.

Speaker A:

We get to bitterness when something happened and we're Looking back at it, let's not be weird about it.

Speaker A:

That's what it is.

Speaker A:

You're not biting, bitter about Tuesday.

Speaker A:

That's up and coming because it hasn't happened yet.

Speaker A:

But if last Tuesday you poked yourself in the eye with a sharp stick, you might be bitter about that.

Speaker A:

Or if somebody said something or did something or didn't they didn't do what you thought they were going to do.

Speaker A:

It's any of those things.

Speaker A:

When we are poisoned by bitterness, it is a poison that runs through our system.

Speaker A:

So when you and I look back at the past, when you and I take a gander towards the back and we do it with this attitude of extreme disappointment, and you live in that, it becomes a festering poison in your system, which is one of the things that God made clear through the Holy Spirit.

Speaker A:

Using Paul, saying this one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind me and pressing forward to the things which are before me.

Speaker A:

But Dave, you don't understand how bad it is, okay?

Speaker A:

I'm not the one that wrote this.

Speaker A:

God did, and he knows how bad it was.

Speaker A:

And if you keep looking backwards and it keeps sinking you, you're hurting yourself.

Speaker A:

You're letting your past wound your present and obstruct your future.

Speaker A:

And when Peter, by the way, said this to Simon, who actually said this to Simon the sorcerer, he said, you are poisoned by bitterness and bound by iniquity.

Speaker A:

So Jesus taught that the darkest slavery in all of existence, never man to man.

Speaker A:

That's absurdity.

Speaker A:

It's the slavery to sin.

Speaker A:

And Jesus even said, I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

Speaker A:

So there's a slavery that takes place in all of our lives because of sin.

Speaker A:

And again, nobody's looking to shame anybody.

Speaker A:

This is the stuff that you need to come before the Lord and say, I need your help.

Speaker A:

Like we were talking about on the besetting sin.

Speaker A:

So what people do is they look at their past and it's like, gosh, if this would have been like this, if this would have happened like this.

Speaker A:

I've talked to people countless times.

Speaker A:

I've told you this.

Speaker A:

Many, many times.

Speaker A:

People look at the past and they go, if only, if only.

Speaker A:

As if to try and blame that if God had done it differently, it would have been different.

Speaker A:

That is rubbish.

Speaker A:

And that is being poisoned by bitterness.

Speaker A:

You can't live that way.

Speaker A:

Now, I come from Detroit originally for those that don't know.

Speaker A:

And I live by 10 in Southfield, 10 in Southfield, 10 in Greenfield.

Speaker A:

Very, very busy intersections.

Speaker A:

I can promise you you would not walk through the intersection looking backwards.

Speaker A:

Because in Detroit, they'll hit you with a car.

Speaker A:

They won't care.

Speaker A:

They'll say, your fault.

Speaker A:

That was how it was.

Speaker A:

So what I'm trying to tell you is you don't walk in your walk, walking forward, looking backwards, and sitting there and fuming.

Speaker A:

That's poisoned by bitterness.

Speaker A:

Don't do that.

Speaker A:

You're just hurting yourself.

Speaker A:

Don't be bound by iniquities that keep you in this slavery without remembering that it's Jesus who set you free.

Speaker A:

By the way, Romans 6.

Speaker A:

6.

Speaker A:

We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with.

Speaker A:

So we should no longer be slaves to sin.

Speaker A:

We don't owe sin anything.

Speaker A:

And we don't owe the past a review that's steeped in anger and disappointment and frustration.

Speaker A:

Let it go.

Speaker A:

If God didn't let go, so to speak, of some of your past acts, you would be feeling the crunch every five seconds.

Speaker A:

Right?

Speaker A:

But he forgives and he lets it go.

Speaker A:

By the way, love, in its definition in 1 Corinthians 13 says, keeps no record of wrongs.

Speaker A:

Let it go.

Speaker A:

Walk in the fullness of his love.

Speaker A:

Biblical love.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Don't let the past poison you.

Speaker A:

All right, we have somebody ready to answer a trivia question.

Speaker A:

Let's send them on through.

Speaker A:

Knock, knock.

Speaker A:

This is David.

Speaker A:

Who am I talking to?

Speaker D:

Hello, David.

Speaker D:

Stephen.

Speaker A:

Hello, Stephen.

Speaker A:

How are you, sir?

Speaker D:

I'm doing okay.

Speaker A:

I'm glad.

Speaker D:

Comment for you.

Speaker A:

You have a comment?

Speaker A:

You want to do the trivia first or the comment first?

Speaker D:

The comment, if you would suffer me to hear me out.

Speaker A:

Absolutely.

Speaker A:

Absolutely.

Speaker D:

Eve was thankful that God gave her a replacement for Abel in Seth.

Speaker A:

That is Correctamundo, sir.

Speaker A:

That is right, sir.

Speaker A:

You are right.

Speaker D:

That is Trying to line that with what you were talking about from Roman.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Because if she just stood in, what had happened, maybe she wouldn't have happened.

Speaker A:

Right, Exactly.

Speaker A:

I mean, just think about how that does that, though.

Speaker A:

Think about how when we get so caught up in things that didn't go the way we think they should have gone, that it just completely.

Speaker A:

It devastates the mind.

Speaker A:

Playing field gets devastated because we bomb it so that there's nothing left.

Speaker A:

It's like.

Speaker A:

It's terrible, and yet God is always weaving something for our benefit, even though we don't know.

Speaker D:

Happened to Job, too.

Speaker A:

It's amazing how many people.

Speaker A:

It's almost a little bit scary, but it's like, you know, that seems to Always happen that way, Like.

Speaker A:

Yeah, that's right.

Speaker A:

The Lord knoweth what he's doing.

Speaker A:

Wow.

Speaker A:

I guess that's why he's God.

Speaker A:

Excellent job, my brother.

Speaker A:

Phenomenal.

Speaker D:

I just thought I'd give you that perspective.

Speaker A:

That was excellent.

Speaker A:

Excellent.

Speaker A:

All right, you too, my brother.

Speaker A:

God bless you.

Speaker A:

All right.

Speaker A:

See that?

Speaker A:

Did you catch that?

Speaker A:

Wow, that's pretty good.

Speaker A:

Get that good.

Speaker A:

Okay, we're going to take our break and then come back.

Speaker A:

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

Speaker A:

Short break, we'll be back.

Speaker A:

Don't go anywhere.

Speaker E:

What is the David Spoon Experience?

Speaker E:

lf on a rocket ship racing at:

Speaker E:

Once there, you can sense the power and the presence of the majestic and the divine.

Speaker E:

You forget about your troubles and your fears and you just float in peace without a worry.

Speaker E:

In the world, there are no struggles, no pain, no discomfort.

Speaker E:

It's soothing, calm, comfortable.

Speaker E:

But then the show starts and you realize that none of that stuff has anything to do with the show.

Speaker E:

What were you thinking?

Speaker E:

The David Spoon Experience?

Speaker E:

Only for the brave of heart and the board.

Speaker A:

That's right.

Speaker A:

You guys think all of our jokes have to be Christian themed.

Speaker A:

So, okay, so this is a.

Speaker A:

A Christian chicken.

Speaker A:

Okay, that'll help you.

Speaker A:

These are 9, 10 people.

Speaker A:

The last one is so funny.

Speaker A:

These are 10 people.

Speaker A:

Why the chicken crossed the road.

Speaker A:

Okay, now these are people, you know, some are political, some are not.

Speaker A:

Nobody's getting picked on.

Speaker A:

This is just fun stuff.

Speaker A:

Nancy Grace, why the chicken crossed the road?

Speaker A:

That chicken crossed the road because he's guilty.

Speaker A:

You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

Speaker A:

That's Nancy Grace Tap Buchanan.

Speaker A:

The chicken crossed the road to steal the job of a decent, hard working American Martha Stewart.

Speaker A:

No one called to warn me which way the chicken was going.

Speaker A:

I had a standing order at the fair at the farmer's market to sell my eggs.

Speaker A:

When the price dropped to a certain level, no little bird gave me any insider information.

Speaker A:

This is great.

Speaker A:

Dr.

Speaker A:

Seuss, did the chicken cross the road?

Speaker A:

Did he cross it with a toad?

Speaker A:

Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but it crossed.

Speaker A:

I have not been told.

Speaker A:

Okay, this is just an old grandpa.

Speaker A:

In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road.

Speaker A:

Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road and that was good enough for us.

Speaker A:

Donald Trump.

Speaker A:

We should build a wall so the chicken can't cross the road.

Speaker A:

That's hilarious.

Speaker A:

Now, if you don't think this one is funny, I'm going to be very concerned about you, Barbara Walters.

Speaker A:

Why did a chicken cross the road?

Speaker A:

Isn't that interesting?

Speaker A:

In a few moments, we'll be listening to the chicken tell for the first time the heartwarming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting and went to accomplish its lifelong dream of crossing the road.

Speaker A:

Wow.

Speaker A:

Aristotle.

Speaker A:

It's the nature of chickens to cross the road.

Speaker A:

Bill Gates.

Speaker A:

Let's skip Bill Gates.

Speaker A:

Just skip it all together, the last two.

Speaker A:

And you can't tell me these aren't funny.

Speaker A:

Albert Einstein.

Speaker A:

Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road move beneath the chicken?

Speaker A:

That's relativity.

Speaker A:

And then finally, Colonel Sanders.

Speaker A:

Did I miss one?

Speaker A:

The David Spoon Experience.

Speaker C:

You're here when I need you the most.

Speaker C:

When I need you the most.

Speaker A:

Oh.

Speaker A:

Welcome back to the David Spoon Experience.

Speaker A:

Thank you for joining us here at Kaam 770, the truth, stationed here in Texas.

Speaker A:

That's Kaamen 770, the truth station here in Texas.

Speaker A:

So I gotta confess something to you.

Speaker A:

So I have different notes that help me guide through the show because I write not everything I'm gonna say.

Speaker A:

I just write out certain things.

Speaker A:

And I took one of these really important pieces of paper and I put it in another file by accident.

Speaker A:

For the last 20 minutes, I've been going through all my files trying to find it.

Speaker A:

Nobody knows that because you can't see me.

Speaker A:

And then it dawned on me.

Speaker A:

Or the Lord gave me a break.

Speaker A:

One of the two.

Speaker A:

Oh, where it was.

Speaker A:

So I got it.

Speaker A:

So now I'm ready.

Speaker A:

So here we go.

Speaker A:

Here it is.

Speaker A:

Here's your next trivia question.

Speaker A:

Let's see if you guys can get this one.

Speaker A:

This is not hard.

Speaker A:

So I don't know that it'll be that difficult for you to do.

Here is our scripture for giving.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Deuteronomy:

Speaker A:

And because of this, the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything to which you put your hand.

Speaker A:

What I love about this passage is this is on God.

Speaker A:

I know that sounds crazy, but that's the best place for things to be.

Speaker A:

He's like, you give generously.

Speaker A:

He must increase.org he must increase.org yeah, I was going to take a bath, but now maybe not.

Speaker A:

I'm not.

Speaker A:

That's so sure now.

Speaker A:

I'm not going to take a bath now.

Speaker A:

All right, your trivia question.

Speaker A:

Who was Noah's youngest son?

Speaker A:

,:

Speaker A:

His youngest son.

Speaker A:

Make sure that you get the reference point.

Speaker A:

In the meantime, we will do, in fact, hiss.

Speaker A:

Tori, let's go.

Speaker A:

Let's face him the past.

Speaker A:

Let's go.

Speaker A:

Let's face him the past.

Speaker A:

Okey dokey.

Speaker A:

Here we go.

Speaker A:

For our history.

Speaker A:

We haven't done this for a little while, so let's get this.

Speaker A:

Today is National Chocolate Souffle Day.

Speaker A:

If it has the word chocolate, I support it.

Speaker C:

Is that fair to say that it's any chocolate?

Speaker A:

Yeah, if it's any chocolate, I don't care what it is.

Speaker A:

I don't care if they're chocolate covered meatballs.

Speaker A:

I don't care.

Speaker A:

Yes, I know.

Speaker A:

That's ridiculous.

Speaker A:

That's not the point.

Speaker A:

Today is also National Tartar Sauce Day.

Speaker A:

For those of us who are fish sticks aficionados, tartar sauce has a very important place in our lives.

Speaker A:

Did you eat a lot of fish sticks when you were growing up?

Speaker A:

Did you do a lot of.

Speaker A:

That's a good one right there.

Speaker C:

Not a big fish person and a no for tartar sauce.

Speaker A:

Okay, let me ask you this then.

Speaker A:

Let me ask you this.

Speaker A:

What if you're not a big fish person?

Speaker A:

So Noel's not a big fish person.

Speaker A:

What fish do you like?

Speaker A:

That's what I want to know.

Speaker C:

What do you like I love grilled shrimp.

Speaker A:

So, like.

Speaker A:

Like shrimp scampi kind of thing.

Speaker C:

What?

Speaker A:

Or like, with butter sauce, garlic, so on and so forth.

Speaker A:

Grilled?

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker C:

Yeah, Both.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

I'm just not a big fish.

Speaker C:

I will.

Speaker C:

If there's a plate of grilled shrimp in front of me, I will eat that.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

I'm just making sure.

Speaker A:

Just making sure that you're okay.

Speaker A:

You wouldn't.

Speaker A:

You wouldn't eat a lobster.

Speaker A:

Not a fan of lobster.

Speaker C:

It's okay.

Speaker C:

I'm just.

Speaker C:

I won't go out of my way to eat it.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

All right.

Speaker A:

Additionally, by the way, today is floral design day, which is really good for my wife because she is a floral manager at Tom Thumb and she loves doing designing.

Speaker A:

That's what she does.

Speaker A:

Two other things, then we'll move on.

Speaker A:

We have somebody ready to answer a trivia question.

Speaker A:

1784, on this day, John Wesley chartered the Methodist Church.

Speaker A:

What a lot of people don't know about the Methodist Church is when it started for church historians, they used to do something called the bark.

Speaker A:

And people are like, what are you talking about?

Speaker A:

Just all you got to do is read the records, folks.

Speaker A:

It's not even complex.

Speaker A:

That was the indication that people were filled with the Holy Spirit when they barked like a dog.

Speaker A:

You think I'm kidding?

Speaker A:

That's not.

Speaker A:

That's absolutely true.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

So just get over it.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

There you go.

Speaker A:

All right.

Speaker A:

We do have somebody ready to answer a trivia question.

Speaker A:

Let us then have them reach out to us and come.

Speaker A:

So send them on through.

Speaker A:

Knock, knock.

Speaker A:

This is good.

Speaker A:

David, who am I talking to?

Speaker D:

Hello, Dr.

Speaker D:

Spoon, this is Fred.

Speaker D:

How are you today, sir?

Speaker A:

Good, Fred.

Speaker A:

You know what?

Speaker A:

I'm actually really glad you're answering this question, and I got to tell you why you cannot believe.

Speaker A:

I'm just saying on the Internet how many difficult positions there are on the answer to this question.

Speaker A:

I mean, I did not realize it when I originally asked this question, but there's like five different theologies answering this simple question.

Speaker A:

Isn't that weird anyhow?

Speaker D:

It is weird.

Speaker A:

I'm going to set it up for you, give you a chance, and then I'm going to probably have to give people a little bit of space because depending on where they've come from, Right.

Speaker A:

That's going to depend on how they say.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

All right, so here we go.

Speaker A:

Who was Noah's youngest son?

Speaker D:

Well, according to the scriptures, Noah had three sons.

Speaker D:

Shem, Ham, and Jathan.

Speaker D:

Since Jathan was mentioned last, I'm assuming that Jathan would be his youngest.

Speaker A:

All right, so first I'm going to give you a yes on that.

Speaker A:

Hold on.

Speaker A:

However, however, in the text, it makes a reference that Ham is the youngest.

Speaker A:

That Ham was the youngest son in a different verse.

Speaker A:

So exactly the reason you said make you think it's jpath.

Speaker A:

And then in another portion it's like, so Ham the youngest son.

Speaker A:

So it's like, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Speaker A:

So it's funny because I gotta be careful saying I think it is probably Ham because it says that.

Speaker A:

But according to the listing, it would be Japheth.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

So it's like I don't know how to give the best answer on that.

Speaker A:

Is that terrible?

Speaker D:

That is somewhat complicated, but with the schooling and the teaching that you have, I would have to go with you.

Speaker D:

If he says ham, then we'll do Ham.

Speaker D:

But I just think that Jason was mentioned last and most people would assume that since he was last, he would be the youngest son.

Speaker D:

Conventional thinking.

Speaker A:

The problem is that when Noah.

Speaker A:

What's the word we want to say?

Speaker A:

When Noah drank the drink, it was Ham who Zenless as the youngest son who exposed or saw his nakedness.

Speaker A:

And then Jaypeth and the other ones that covered it.

Speaker A:

So that's where the Ham comes in.

Speaker A:

So I'm gonna do this because it is an interesting statement.

Speaker A:

I am giving full credit to everybody that answered that question.

Speaker A:

And if you can write a great 36 page thesis that will definitively give the answer, I would also give you a plus.

Speaker A:

But I'm not gonna do it.

Speaker A:

Did you like how I did that?

Speaker A:

Not Jason, but you like how he said that?

Speaker A:

So if you could write a pretty thorough.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Because I don't know.

Speaker D:

Absolutely, absolutely love it, brother.

Speaker A:

You are so much fun on the phone.

Speaker A:

I love it.

Speaker A:

Thank you for answering it.

Speaker A:

All right.

Speaker A:

God bless, brother.

Speaker A:

I love you.

Speaker A:

Love you in the Lord.

Speaker D:

I love you too, man.

Speaker D:

God bless you too.

Speaker A:

Okay, bye.

Speaker A:

Bye.

Speaker A:

Oh, great job by Fred.

Speaker A:

Fred's awesome, right?

Speaker A:

So just.

Speaker A:

He's a great, great brother.

Speaker A:

Okay, so now let me get into this teaching.

Speaker A:

Since we're talking about kids as perfect lead in.

Speaker A:

Just follow the lead.

Speaker A:

Just relax, everybody.

Speaker A:

We gotta have the perfect answer.

Speaker A:

Really?

Speaker A:

You thought you had all the perfect answer when you first got saved, right?

Speaker A:

How many times has God changed that?

Speaker A:

Okay, cool.

Speaker A:

First Samuel, 3:13.

Speaker A:

This is a little serious, especially for parents, for I have told him that I'm about to judge his house forever for the iniquity, which he knew because his sons brought a curse on themselves.

Speaker A:

And he did not rebuke them.

Speaker A:

This is God talking to Samuel about Eli.

Speaker A:

And judgment was coming for his household because his sons had sinned.

Speaker A:

But Eli didn't parent.

Speaker A:

So in one Samuel, there's this element where he's spoken to him, why do you kick at my sacrifice and my offerings that I have commanded and honor your sons above me?

Speaker A:

That's what God said to Eli.

Speaker A:

And this is something to remember.

Speaker A:

As much as I love my kids, and I do, and for me, they represent a very similar promise that Abraham had with Isaac.

Speaker A:

In the sense that through my kids is.

Speaker A:

So my brother and I are the only two Christians in our Jewish family of as far as we know, as 5,000 years of history.

Speaker A:

And I have two sons out of that.

Speaker A:

And they can carry on according to biblical tradition.

Speaker A:

Not rabbinical, biblical.

Speaker A:

Big difference.

Speaker A:

They carry on the tradition.

Speaker A:

That's why it's Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Speaker A:

Okay, but if I were to love them more than I love God, I'd be in trouble.

Speaker A:

And Jesus said, you have to love me more than you love your family in Luke 14:6.

Speaker A:

And when we love God more, there's more of this revelation of him to us.

Speaker A:

And I'm telling you this as a parent and a grandparent.

Speaker A:

As much as I love my kids and my grandkids, they and my wife and my brother and my sister, they are not in God's stead.

Speaker A:

The key in this is to understand it is to God.

Speaker A:

First, the first commandment, love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind.

Speaker A:

And the second, you see the difference between first and second.

Speaker A:

And in the Ten Commandments, the first four are on one side.

Speaker A:

The other six are on the other side of the tablet, because why?

Speaker A:

Because they're geared towards God.

Speaker A:

The other six are geared towards man.

Speaker A:

It's important for us to understand that the love that we have for God triumphs all things, period.

Speaker A:

Not just family, but even ourselves.

Speaker A:

That Eli did not parent because he endured for his kids more than he endured for God, brought an end to them.

Speaker A:

Working for God can't do that.

Speaker A:

I'm not trying to tell you to be mean to your family.

Speaker A:

Don't say that.

Speaker A:

I'm not saying that.

Speaker A:

I'm saying by comparison, it is to the Lord first, foremost, and always.

Speaker A:

And anybody that would ever teach or suggest differently is a false teacher or a false prophet.

Speaker A:

That's what the word of God teaches.

Speaker A:

Yikes.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

That's some serious stuff, right, Dave, It's Friday.

Speaker A:

You're supposed to make everybody happy.

Speaker A:

All right, we'll do that.

Speaker A:

In the next teaching, not in this teaching.

Speaker A:

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

Speaker A:

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

Speaker A:

Short break, we'll be back.

Speaker A:

Don't go anywhere.

Speaker A:

The David Spoon Experience.

Speaker A:

Philip shares the gospel in that gospel presentation is a proclamation about baptism.

Speaker A:

No matter what anybody says.

Speaker A:

That's just the reality of this text.

Speaker A:

He gets baptized and the Holy Spirit catches Philip away and the eunuch never sees him again.

Speaker A:

Does it go away miraculously?

Speaker A:

You can't define it as an absolute, but it sure seems that way.

Speaker A:

It doesn't matter because why the text says he never saw him again.

Speaker A:

That's what the text says.

Speaker A:

God will use people in your lives for a moment to make a change in your life, and you will never see them or hear from them again.

Speaker A:

That's what you got to recognize.

Speaker A:

God will use you in people's lives for a one time encounter that will make that will accomplish that which the Lord desires to accomplish.

Speaker A:

That will plant some form of seed that God has in mind and that's the intent.

Speaker A:

And you'll never see him again.

Speaker A:

You think, well, I don't know what the value of that was.

Speaker A:

That's why divine appointments are divine appointments and not human evaluations.

Speaker A:

Because God uses the most unique circumstances, even one time, one and done circumstances, to plant seeds in people's lives throughout their journey on the earth, to reach them and speak to them and to encourage them.

Speaker A:

You getting that?

Speaker A:

Sometimes God will bring somebody into your life and it's just for a brief moment.

Speaker A:

And that's the purpose and that's the intent.

Speaker A:

You never, you don't fully understand, nor do I, nor does any human being why the Lord has people cross paths the way he does.

Speaker A:

But remember, he is God and so he knows what person needs to have what encounter at what juncture in their life.

Speaker A:

All of this is to say the Lord is the coordinator.

Speaker A:

It wasn't Philip, it wasn't the eunuch, so to speak.

Speaker A:

I mean, it was a strategic placement of a Christian in a position to reach a Secretary of the treasury in Ethiopia, to have a salvation opportunity.

Speaker A:

And nobody could ever predict that, but God set the whole thing up and then he's done.

Speaker A:

It's so amazing because the scripture says he never saw Philip again.

Speaker A:

That's it.

Speaker A:

One and done.

Speaker A:

See you, buddy.

Speaker A:

God bless.

Speaker A:

And it was all part of the plan of God.

Speaker A:

Some people get saved in one church and then they end up going to Another church shortly thereafter.

Speaker A:

And that church is really instrumental in their growth, but not their decision.

Speaker A:

Totally normal.

Speaker A:

Nothing weird about that whatsoever.

Speaker A:

You are normal.

Speaker A:

It is normal because the Lord is in charge and he's not asking anybody's permission.

Speaker A:

Welcome back to that David Spoon experience.

Speaker A:

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

Speaker A:

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

Speaker A:

I found what the controversy was.

Speaker A:

Wow.

Speaker A:

I have a very good source that I go to and checked it out to find out what the controversy was regarding Shem Hem and Japheth.

Speaker A:

And the controversy is the word youngest in the Hebrew can also mean the word smallest or most insignificant.

Speaker A:

That is why there's a controversy, because typically in the listings, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker A:

You know, Cain and Abel, the youngest is listed last.

Speaker A:

So Fred would be right in saying it's Japheth.

Speaker A:

But because of that word youngest, it can also mean smallest.

Speaker A:

That's where the controversy is.

Speaker A:

So I'll tell you what on everybody's on this one.

Speaker A:

If you think it's important to your salvation, you're wrong.

Speaker A:

If it's important for you to be right in the trivia question, I give you credit either way.

Speaker A:

But that's where the controversy lies.

Speaker A:

Isn't that fascinating?

Speaker A:

I don't see that as a problem.

Speaker A:

I think it's interesting.

Speaker A:

That makes you just go and study it more.

Speaker A:

Like, this person thinks this.

Speaker A:

This person thinks this.

Speaker A:

I love stuff like that.

Speaker A:

Anyway, here is our next trivia question.

Speaker A:

Probably won't be as controversial.

Speaker A:

Well, you know, I say that now that I think about that, I could be wrong.

Speaker A:

That's right.

Speaker A:

What?

Speaker A:

King was the youngest of eight brothers.

Speaker A:

Boy, if you don't get this one, I quit.

Speaker A:

1 Samuel 17, 12, 14.

Speaker A:

What?

Speaker A:

King was the youngest of eight brothers.

Speaker A:

1 Samuel 7 15, 12, 14.

Speaker A:

That should be pretty easy for people.

Speaker A:

-:

Speaker A:

-:

Speaker A:

All right, all right, all right.

Speaker A:

So we do have somebody who's going to answer.

Speaker A:

We are on a little time limit here because sometimes we just have fun.

Speaker A:

You know, it's okay to have fun.

Speaker A:

Do somebody want to answer the trivia question?

Speaker A:

Is that what they're doing?

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker A:

No.

Speaker A:

Maybe.

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker A:

Let's go ahead and send them on through.

Speaker A:

Knock, knock.

Speaker A:

This is David.

Speaker A:

Who am I talking to?

Speaker F:

David, Good afternoon.

Speaker F:

Shabbat Shalom.

Speaker F:

It's jd.

Speaker A:

Hey, JD Shabbat Shalom, brother.

Speaker A:

How are you feeling?

Speaker F:

I'm in Atoka, Oklahoma, right now looking for Reba's.

Speaker F:

She's supposed to be, like, a third cousin of mine, so I'm gonna try to find her.

Speaker A:

Wow.

Speaker A:

Wow.

Speaker A:

Well, the Lord blessed you on your journey.

Speaker F:

Having fun this weekend.

Speaker F:

I sent you that text earlier.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

The Lord bless you in that and give you.

Speaker A:

Give you grace and accomplishment and success in your mission.

Speaker F:

Thank you, sir.

Speaker F:

Thank you, sir.

Speaker A:

You're more than welcome, my brother.

Speaker A:

All right.

Speaker A:

My brother.

Speaker A:

What?

Speaker A:

King was the youngest of eight brothers, your namesake.

Speaker A:

That is correct.

Speaker A:

Amundo.

Speaker A:

King David was the guy.

Speaker A:

And just imagine if you're the seven other brothers going, wait, wait.

Speaker A:

The youngest kid's gonna be the king.

Speaker A:

Wait, wait, wait.

Speaker F:

What happened here?

Speaker F:

I'm better than he is, right?

Speaker A:

That probably went over like a lead balloon.

Speaker A:

As we know, they were making fun of him when he was visiting during the Goliath scenario.

Speaker A:

It's like, why aren't you with those sheep?

Speaker A:

You know?

Speaker A:

It's like.

Speaker A:

It's just like an older brother.

Speaker A:

What are you doing here?

Speaker A:

You're just nosing around.

Speaker A:

Isn't that great?

Speaker A:

That's just classic, my brother.

Speaker A:

Classic.

Speaker A:

Now, I do want people to be praying.

Speaker A:

Can you remind people what happened to you the other day?

Speaker A:

And I just want them praying for you over the weekend.

Speaker A:

So tell people what it is you're.

Speaker A:

You're asking the Lord to petition on.

Speaker F:

I've got some skin cancers, and we're trying to get it all squared away for surgery.

Speaker A:

There you go.

Speaker F:

And it's.

Speaker F:

Thank God it's not melanoma, but it's not going to be pleasant just the same.

Speaker A:

Right?

Speaker A:

So it's.

Speaker A:

So the idea is you want to just get through this, push through this, get past this, and let this be something that quickly goes the other direction outside of things and just disappears.

Speaker F:

And life will be so much better afterwards.

Speaker F:

Yes, sir.

Speaker A:

Yes, sir.

Speaker A:

Lord, bless my brother JD in this process, I ask that we, as the people of God, would petition you on his behalf, and we ask you in the name of Jesus Christ that you would bring healing and touch to his body, Confidence for him, that you are for him, you are with him.

Speaker A:

And this is not a journey he's going to do in any way, shape, or form alone, but his brothers and sisters stand in the gap for him, believing you, God, for miracles and complete deliverance and freedom, we pray this in Jesus name.

Speaker A:

Amen and amen.

Speaker F:

Amen.

Speaker A:

Amen, my brother.

Speaker A:

And I want you to tag with me.

Speaker A:

That's why I gave you that other number.

Speaker A:

So you just keep tagging with me.

Speaker A:

Yes, sir.

Speaker A:

And then we'll just keep praying for you until we hear the testimony come forward.

Speaker F:

You got it.

Speaker A:

All right, my brother.

Speaker A:

Have a phenomenal weekend.

Speaker A:

And again, the Lord bless you with success in your mission.

Speaker F:

Oh, yeah.

Speaker F:

It's going to be cool.

Speaker F:

If I can.

Speaker A:

Yeah, I think it's awesome.

Speaker A:

Good for you.

Speaker F:

Yeah.

Speaker F:

On all my ventures.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Amen.

Speaker A:

Good job, brother.

Speaker F:

Thank you.

Speaker A:

All right.

Speaker A:

God bless you.

Speaker A:

Bye.

Speaker A:

Bye.

Speaker A:

All right, we don't have time for anything else, so I'll tell a quick joke.

Speaker A:

Ready?

Speaker A:

Troy?

Speaker A:

I'm a very famous speaker.

Speaker A:

I spoke at the Boston Gardens to thousands of people.

Speaker A:

Paul.

Speaker A:

Really?

Speaker A:

What'd you say?

Speaker A:

Troy?

Speaker A:

Get your peanuts, popcorn and cold drinks here.

Speaker A:

That's a pretty good one right there.

Profile picture for David Spoon

David Spoon

David Spoon was born and raised in a Jewish home in Detroit, Michigan. He attended a private Hebrew school called Hillel Hebrew Academy. David was bar mitzvah-ed at the age of thirteen. Not long after, he was involved in drug abuse and trafficking. After hearing the Gospel for the first time at age seventeen, David accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. A few months later, David had a dramatic experience with God. Immediately set free from years of excessive drug use, he committed himself to ministry and to furthering the Kingdom of God.

He attended Arizona Bible College, Northern Arizona University, and Life Pacific College, graduating summa-cum-laude in their Ministry and Leadership program. He also graduated with honors from Regent University with a master’s degree in Theological Studies and earned his Doctor of Ministry degree in Strategic Christian Ministry at Liberty University.

He is one of a few individuals holding ministerial ordinations from three separate denominations: Heritage Free Baptist Organization, 1981; Independent Pentecostal Ministers Association, 1985; and Vineyard Valley Association, 1988. He was also the Chaplain for the Flagstaff Police Department. In addition, David was the senior pastor of Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Flagstaff.

In addition, David started and co-hosted two different live Christian call-in radio talk shows. He hosted the very popular radio show “The David Spoon Experience” on KPRZ 1210 and a show called “To Know Him,” which aired on 88.9 on the F.M. dial-in Temecula, California at 1:00 p.m., Monday through Fridays. He was also the Director of Local Ministry for Salem Media Group in San Diego, California.

David is married to his best friend, Noelle. He has three children and seven grandchildren, plus their two dogs named Levi and Bert. On March 18th, 2019, he started “The David Spoon Experience” in Texas and is growing with his audience of awesome believers and non-believers alike.

He is the President of He Must Increase Ministry, a 501c3 ministry, and is hosting (again) the live daily radio show “The David Spoon Experience” with DJR Broadcasting in KAAM, on the 770 A.M. radio dial. The show is also on various apps and the Internet.

David is a Jewish-Christian, Bapti-Costal, Cal-Minian, Manifold Millennialist.

Just ask him.
