Speaker B:Hello, everybody.
Speaker C:When it's cold outside.
Speaker A:Here's what's coming up on today's experience.
Speaker A:It's Dr.
Speaker A:Dave's devotional Diamonds of the Day, also known as DD DDDD's, where my daily devotions become some of our spiritual reflections.
Speaker A:Sound effects placed throughout the show, which have nothing to do with life.
Speaker A:But the Bible teaches there's a time to laugh, and we think they're funny.
Speaker A:Ha.
Speaker A:The review of the goofy news, which proves Jesus is coming back sooner than you think.
Speaker A:We hope before this intro is over, life lessons for our faith that we could actually use probably won't, if we sit on our blessed assurance humor that will force you to think, why does this guy have a radio show?
Speaker A:Well, for right now, it's where the Lord wants me.
Speaker A:So that's why.
Speaker A:Also, Bible trivia for fake and yet somehow real cool prizes, your phone calls and more.
Speaker A:Living this life.
Speaker A:Not always.
Speaker A:Oh.
Speaker A:Welcome to the David Spoon Experience.
Speaker A:Local, national and heavenly talk.
Speaker A:My name is Dr.
Speaker A:David Spoon.
Speaker A:I'll be your host for the next 5,400,000 milliseconds.
Speaker A:Get ready for one of the more bizarre experiences on live radio.
Speaker A:Here is the key to the show.
Speaker A:We don't know what we're doing.
Speaker A:We have no idea what's gonna happen, and we don't care.
Speaker A:But for the next few minutes, I wanna talk faith with you.
Speaker A:So here we go.
Speaker A:We're asking questions about living life as a Christian.
Speaker A:That thingy right there.
Speaker A:We start off our weeks on Mondays.
Speaker A:Very particular, very focused.
Speaker A:We're simply asking you, with the multitude of people that are listening to this show around this country and around the world, what can our prayer warriors pray for you about?
Speaker A:Now, when we talk about prayer warriors, we're not talking about a group of people that are sitting by telephones and answering them.
Speaker A:We're talking about people that are listening on apps and on radio, in their cars and whatever the case may be, your brothers and your sisters in Christ.
Speaker A:And they are the prayer warriors.
Speaker A:And we pray and believe because God answers prayers.
Speaker A:So we're asking you, what can we be praying for you about?
Speaker A:That's what we're asking you.
Speaker A:What can we pray for?
Speaker A:What can we join you in in your prayers?
Speaker A:What can we come alongside of you, help you stand by you, have faith with you?
Speaker A:What can we pray with you and for you about?
Speaker A:That's what we're asking.
Speaker A:And if you have a response to that, if you have your own opinion, comment, thought or question, we don't want that to die of loneliness.
Speaker A:We like the interaction.
Speaker A:Just give us a call.
Speaker A: -: Speaker A: -: Speaker A: -: Speaker A:Talking to Jam and Jacob.
Speaker A:That's like heading into the week with great faith and expectation.
Speaker A:Hello.
Speaker B:Thank you David.
Speaker B:Happy Monday.
Speaker A:Happy Monday to you my friend.
Speaker A:We got a couple of things that we do gotta share with our wonderful audience.
Speaker A:One thing that we just discovered is our Contact Us file has to be re engineered so you can still offer up praise and prayer reports on the website.
Speaker A:But the direct Contact Us file has a little bit of a problem.
Speaker A:So it's a little bit of sickie.
Speaker A:So we have to get it fixed which we will do later on today or tomorrow.
Speaker A:Plus I think we have a schedule change coming up on Thursday.
Speaker A:I don't want to say it too loud but go Aggies.
Speaker A:What schedule change do we have coming up on Thursday?
Speaker A:My very good friend Jim and Jacob, what do we got coming up?
Speaker B:So on Thursday we have a A and m game at 2pm and then if they win that game then they'll be playing at 2pm on Friday as well.
Speaker B:So we'll be just be playing a pre recorded 30 minute.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker B:So right.
Speaker A:Thursday from 1:30 to 2 that will be a pre recorded excellent replay.
Speaker A:But then at 2 o'clock they'll do their pre game show and then at 2:30 actually is the actual basketball game.
Speaker A:So Thursday we are going to be preempted for basketball.
Speaker A:We've talked about this for years and years.
Speaker A:We support Texas A and M.
Speaker A:We think it's great.
Speaker A:We want them to win, we want them to go as far as far.
Speaker A:We want them to go all the way.
Speaker A:But in this week On Thursday at 2:00 the show will be preempted for Texas A and M Aggies men's basketball.
Speaker A:And if they win, that will happen again on Friday.
Speaker A:So we have everything geared up and ready for that.
Speaker A:I'm just letting you guys all know what's happening Thursday for sure, maybe Friday.
Speaker A:So if you like the show and you want to get a lot of the live show in, you better enjoy Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Speaker A:That is my strong advice.
Speaker A:What do you think?
Speaker B:Yes, yes that is correct.
Speaker B:And if they don't win Thursday, then it'll be a Friday show like normal, right?
Speaker A:That is correct.
Speaker A:That is 100% correct.
Speaker A:So let's keep that on.
Speaker A:That information, by the way, is on the website, just in case you're wondering.
Speaker A:It is on the website under status.
Speaker A:There's a green thing there that says status.
Speaker A:We put it up there already.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:All right, let's go back to this because we have people that we really need to pray for, and I just want to make sure you understand what's going on.
Speaker A:You are welcome to call us during this show.
Speaker A: -: Speaker A: -: Speaker A:If you call really close to a break, you're not going to get as much time.
Speaker A:There's just nothing we can do about that.
Speaker A:So I'm just kind of telling people, kind of like, get a feel for it.
Speaker A:Know when to call.
Speaker A:Maybe if you have a chance to answer a trivia question or you have a prayer request or something that's going on, we want you to be able to communicate that with us.
Speaker A:It's just got to be coordinated somewhat within the show, and I rely on you guys to use a little bit of insight to pull that off.
Speaker A:The other thing that you can do besides calling us is you can text.
Speaker A: -: Speaker A:Now, that number is the ministry line, but during the live show, 1:30 to 3, it is the text line.
Speaker A: -: Speaker A:Okay, I'll do it really fast for people that, like, things sped up.
Speaker A:Ready?
Speaker A:Okay, I can do it again.
Speaker A:But I thought that was pretty fast, that last one.
Speaker A:So here's what we're saying.
Speaker A: -: Speaker A:You can also email us davidemustincrease.org that's davidemustincrease.orgthat comes right to my phone as well as the texts come right to my phone.
Speaker A:When you call that 972 number, that goes right to Jam and Jacob.
Speaker A:So why would you do that?
Speaker A:It could be for a praise report.
Speaker A:It could be for a testimony.
Speaker A:Maybe you went to church yesterday and you were like, wow, it's not even that.
Speaker A:It was just great to be amongst the people of God.
Speaker A:Maybe you had something happen over the weekend and you're just like, wow, I had the best meal.
Speaker A:Cool.
Speaker A:Maybe it's just something that the Lord has shown you.
Speaker A:Maybe it's something you need prayer for.
Speaker A:Maybe you're really hurting in an area.
Speaker A:Now we got two people that we're going to be talking or praying for.
Speaker A:And actually it's four people.
Speaker A:But I'll explain that in a second.
Speaker A:We're going to be going to prayer for them directly and almost immediately.
Speaker A:But I want you to be aware that you have that opportunity to either share a praise or a testimony, to have a prayer request.
Speaker A:Something that happens, something that's going on.
Speaker A:We want you to have the venue, the opportunity to commune and to communicate.
Speaker A:The big deal here is very simple.
Speaker A:In our structure.
Speaker A:We are trying to encourage one another to draw closer to the Lord.
Speaker A:That's what we do.
Speaker A:We can come up with a lot of different angles and a lot of different things.
Speaker A:We just tend to stay there in that spot.
Speaker A:I'm with the firm belief that the answer to every problem, everywhere, anywhere, always and forever, is more of Jesus.
Speaker A:That is always the answer.
Speaker A:And for people that don't believe that, well, they never experience it because they don't believe it.
Speaker A:And it's according to your faith.
Speaker A:So be it.
Speaker A:So because they have no faith, it never happens.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:That's the reality on our end.
Speaker A:We believe what Jesus had to say.
Speaker A:We believe he said, I am the way, the truth and the life.
Speaker A:And no man comes to the Father, but by me.
Speaker A:John 14:6.
Speaker A:We believe the scripture that says there is one mediator between God and men, the man, Jesus Christ.
Speaker A:There is no other mediator.
Speaker A:And the truth of the matter is that it is all about Jesus.
Speaker A:That in all things Colossians says he might have the preeminence first place.
Speaker C:That's what it means.
Speaker A:So we gear everything we do in that direction.
Speaker A:We hope it's a blessing for you.
Speaker A:If it's not.
Speaker A:There's that button over there.
Speaker A:You can change the channel.
Speaker A:You're welcome to.
Speaker A:Here's what we want to encourage people to do.
Speaker A:I want you to take your faith and join it with mine.
Speaker A:Cause we're going to pray for some brothers and sisters that are going through a really tough time.
Speaker A:Keith Oakley called me earlier today, left a message.
Speaker A:They couldn't get to him.
Speaker A:But he's in the hospital and he's at the hospital kind of where Brother Ace was right at that door.
Speaker A:And it's getting really hard for him.
Speaker A:So we're going to be praying for him and praying for the mercy of God.
Speaker A:We are also going to be praying for Angelina, who is not too far behind that.
Speaker A:But also because Robert and Raza don't know how to keep handling the situation.
Speaker A:They need Grace and mercy to have the best outcome that can happen for everybody.
Speaker A:And they're just gonna need a bunch of wisdom.
Speaker A:And what we need more than anything else in these circumstances is the perfect will of God and the mercy of God and the comfort of God.
Speaker A:So that's what I'm asking you to do.
Speaker A:Take your faith, put it with mine, and let's petition the Lord.
Speaker C:Because you know what?
Speaker A:It is in these circumstances that we.
Speaker C:Need the help of God just to.
Speaker A:Make a reference point.
Speaker A:This is way past humanity's ability.
Speaker A:It is way past science.
Speaker A:Believe the science.
Speaker A:How about believe the Messiah?
Speaker A:We are petitioning the King of Kings.
Speaker C:And asking for help for situations that are beyond humanity's control.
Speaker A:Let's pray.
Speaker A:Father, we come before you right now and we just thank you and praise you.
Speaker A:And first, as your scripture teaches us.
Speaker C:Hallowed be thy name, Thy kingdom come.
Speaker A:Thy will be done.
Speaker A:Jesus, as you demonstrated that prayer model to us, it was praise and honor and glory to the Father, followed by the will of the Father being done on earth.
Speaker A:We follow that model you left for us, and we ask you to do that very thing, to let that come.
Speaker C:About in these two circumstances for these people.
Speaker A:First, we lift up Keith Oakley to you.
Speaker A:Lord, do you know brother Keith has been going through a really hard time?
Speaker C:He's been severely wounded.
Speaker C:He is asking for your grace.
Speaker C:He's asking for your mercy.
Speaker A:He's asking you either to take him or to help him and heal him.
Speaker A:And, Lord, we don't want him to.
Speaker C:Sit there and just be in constant pain, but not one moment before his time of departure should he go.
Speaker A:So we ask you to be the.
Speaker C:God of mercy and the God of comfort and help Keith in this situation.
Speaker C:We ask you to speak peace right into his heart.
Speaker A:The peace that passes all understanding.
Speaker A:It doesn't have to make sense, Lord.
Speaker A:It just has to be from you.
Speaker C:You're the Creator, and you know how to take your creation and have them to be at rest.
Speaker C:So we ask you to do that on Keith's behalf.
Speaker A:And, Lord, along those same lines, we pray for Angelina, who's going through the same type of thing, and for her, Rosalind and Robert are doing their best to coordinate and to help and to stand with her in the ins and the outs.
Speaker A:And again, it is past the wisdom.
Speaker C:Of humanity, but it is not past you.
Speaker C:So we petition you, God, to be merciful, to be gracious, to be kind, and to help them in this circumstance.
Speaker A:Like we said, not one moment before.
Speaker C:Lord, but we do want your comfort to overwhelm and your peace to overwhelm.
Speaker C:In this circumstance, no human can do a thing.
Speaker C:Only you as God can do this.
Speaker C:We ask you and petition for Angelina and for that wisdom and restorative strength for Rosalind and Robert and, Lord, these are people that are hurting.
Speaker C:And we have other people in our audience, Lord, that are hurting.
Speaker C:Maybe not to the same level, but they're in pain and they need your help.
Speaker C:Doesn't matter, Lord, what the world tells us.
Speaker C:We are a people that are in need of our Creator.
Speaker C:We are in need of our Savior.
Speaker C:We are in need of our Lord.
Speaker C:And for all of those who can hear my voice and in every area of pain and discomfort and every area of struggle and trouble, that you would break the cycles of these discouragements and these depressions and these frustrations and this lack of insight as to what to do on our end, and that we would get our focus upon you.
Speaker A:You tell us that you will keep.
Speaker C:Us in perfect peace if we have our mind stayed on you.
Speaker C:Well, we need your peace to help you help your servants, help your children, help your kids, help them focus on you.
Speaker C:You are the answer.
Speaker C:And we leave it right at the cross.
Speaker C:We leave it right at the foot of the cross.
Speaker A:Cross.
Speaker C:Help your kids, each and every one of us.
Speaker C:Heavenly Father, we pray this with help from the Holy Spirit, but in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and our Savior.
Speaker C:Amen and amen.
Speaker A:All right, people.
Speaker A:So that is people that you can be praying for.
Speaker A:Don't forget we have our little Buddy program.
Speaker A:We want you to be a buddy for a week.
Speaker A:You've just heard about Rosalind and Robert going through that as the children and Angelina going through what she's going through.
Speaker A:Just heard about Keith Oakley and all he's going through.
Speaker A:So perhaps you can take them on as a prayer.
Speaker A:You mention them before the Lord.
Speaker A:Ask for the Lord's grace, ask for.
Speaker C:The Lord's goodness, ask for the Lord's kindness.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:It just seems like a right thing to do.
Speaker A:And the right thing to do.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker C:That's just the way to go about it.
Speaker A:All right?
Speaker A:Into the word of God and into such a beautiful element.
Speaker A:We are in Titus, and we are in Titus, and we're in chapter three.
Speaker A:And where we are in chapter three, as we just talked about last week in verse six, about the washing of regeneration and then renewal by the Holy Spirit.
Speaker A:And I want to pick it up at verse six, and I want to make sure that we understand something that is just.
Speaker A:I think this is perfect in its timing, but verse Six says he poured out.
Speaker A:This is what God is teaching you and I.
Speaker A:He poured out His Spirit.
Speaker A:He is referring to God the Father, poured out His Spirit on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that having been justified by his grace, we may become heirs with the hope of eternal life.
Speaker A:So I want us to stay in focus on this.
Speaker A:Think about these people we were just praying for.
Speaker A:Think about the reality check, that this earth has been tarnished by sin.
Speaker A:We don't want a recycled earth.
Speaker A:We want the new earth, the new heavens and the new earth mentioned three times in Scripture.
Speaker A:Once in the old, twice in the new.
Speaker A:And it's just absolutely clear that we're not looking for a bandage.
Speaker A:We're looking for a new life, a new heavens, a new earth.
Speaker A:And what we find out is God the Father has poured His Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the living God, the very breath that went into Adam and gave him life.
Speaker A:He's poured out His Holy Spirit into us, on us and in us.
Speaker A:You run it over.
Speaker A:The big difference is when the Holy Spirit is in you, it's for character.
Speaker A:When the Holy Spirit is on you, it's for ministry.
Speaker A:And he has poured His Spirit in us and on us in abundance through Jesus Christ our Savior.
Speaker A:So for those who are keeping score theologically, he poured out His Spirit abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.
Speaker A:This has to do with the initial pouring out of the Spirit.
Speaker A:When people say, well, you get Jesus, but you don't get the Holy Spirit.
Speaker A:It's absurd.
Speaker A:It's ridiculous what we do.
Speaker A:What does happen is that when Jesus becomes.
Speaker A:Takes hold of your heart and lives in your heart by faith, and the Holy Spirit is activated in you.
Speaker A:What does happen is that we are not always open to everything the Holy Spirit is doing.
Speaker A:And sometimes that takes time in the framework of the walk for us to get more accustomed and more trusting and more open that the Holy Spirit has more access into our different parts of our lives.
Speaker A:That's not bizarre at all.
Speaker A:In fact, Ephesians 5:18 says, Be filled with the Spirit.
Speaker A:If it was only one pouring one time, that verse would not exist.
Speaker A:If it was only one pouring one time, then why did the disciples on five different occasions after Acts chapter two get filled with the Spirit if they were already filled and didn't need to be filled again?
Speaker A:It's just dumb to think that way.
Speaker A:What we get is what we're open to before the Lord.
Speaker A:And what happens is he pours more and more and more and more into us as we become more and more.
Speaker C:And more like Jesus.
Speaker A:So when you get saved, of course you get the Holy Spirit.
Speaker A:But the Bible teaches us clearly that we need to be continually filled with the Spirit, so we know the Holy Spirit's poured on us through Jesus Christ.
Speaker A:And I want to make sure you understand.
Speaker A:This isn't happening because you're doing good works.
Speaker A:This isn't happening because you have good looks.
Speaker A:This isn't happening because you can cite things or you can win an argument.
Speaker A:This is happening because Jesus Christ is abundantly gracious.
Speaker A:And this takes place through Jesus Christ.
Speaker A:This is a connecting statement.
Speaker A:We need to always be aware that it's Jesus that gives us the instructions to continually ask for the Spirit.
Speaker A:You're saying, well, where'd you get that from?
Speaker A: Have you read Luke: Speaker A:Jesus said, so if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?
Speaker A:And that's a continual asking.
Speaker A:But it has to come through Jesus.
Speaker A:It's like, cool.
Speaker A:What's the problem with that?
Speaker A:Zero.
Speaker A:And they says this.
Speaker A:He poured out our Spirit abundantly.
Speaker A:He poured out his spirit abundantly on us through Jesus Christ our Savior.
Speaker A:So having been justified by his grace, we automatically become heirs of God.
Speaker A:It's just absolutely fascinating because our inheritance comes from God and is based on his grace.
Speaker A:How much security do you think we should have?
Speaker A:If we are heirs of God and our inheritance is based on what he's.
Speaker C:Doing, not based on what we're doing.
Speaker A:Gives us a great deal of confidence, a great deal of safety.
Speaker A:For God is able.
Speaker A:Has the ability to sustain us throughout this walk and this journey.
Speaker A:What did we talk about last week?
Speaker A:Being confident of this one thing.
Speaker A:That he who has begun a good work in you, Philippians 1:6, will continue it until the day of Christ.
Speaker A:He who started this work, he will continue it.
Speaker A:He will keep it going.
Speaker A:But this is the part that I.
Speaker A:You think that part.
Speaker A:This is the part that I think is the best that we can become heirs with the hope of eternal life.
Speaker A:The apostle Paul finishes off this verse to Titus by telling him that we are heir.
Speaker A:Heirs of the hope of eternal life.
Speaker A:It is here that you often hear me go down this yellow brick road saying, we are not using our hope enough.
Speaker A:And it's true.
Speaker A:We keep thinking that the hope in the Lord has to do with getting through another month of bills.
Speaker A:We keep thinking the hope of the Lord has this limited time frame.
Speaker A:But the hope in the Lord has to do with living with the Lord for a Bazillion years.
Speaker A:And with him a bazillion years in an awesome life.
Speaker A:If we focused more on that hope and if we gave that hope more energy and time in our own lives, we would do so much better.
Speaker A:We would recognize that things that we encounter have limits.
Speaker A:In fact, the scripture says it's not worthy that what we go through can be compared to what's coming.
Speaker A:It's not even worthy to put it together in the same scale.
Speaker A:You cannot compare 90 in 100 years to 20 billion trillion bazillion.
Speaker A:You can't compare it.
Speaker A:And we don't stand firm enough in this hope.
Speaker A:Eye has not seen, neither has ear heard, neither has entered into the hearts of man the things that God has prepared for them.
Speaker A:And just consider the best possible in your brain scenario for what heaven will be.
Speaker A:And recognize you can't even have it enter your heart what God has prepared.
Speaker A:So you come up with the best thing you can possibly come up with.
Speaker A:And recognize, you still fall short for what heaven is actually going to be.
Speaker A:That's what you need to hear.
Speaker A:That's what you need to know.
Speaker A:That's the hope we need to stand firm in.
Speaker A:That's why hope is the helmet, the thing that protects our brain, the thing that protects our mind as the enemy tries to get us to have swayed thoughts and doubts and fears on a continual basis.
Speaker A:And just like, how will we get through this?
Speaker A:How will we get through this?
Speaker A:How will this happen?
Speaker A:How will we get through this?
Speaker A:And it's like, are you kidding?
Speaker A:You're going to live in eternity with the king of the universe forever.
Speaker A:This, this is not even as 16th of an inch on a billion mile long journey.
Speaker A:That's what we need to get.
Speaker C:We need to get that going in.
Speaker A:Our hearts and minds.
Speaker A:We need that to be at the forefront of our functioning.
Speaker A:A hope that is the anchor to our soul.
Speaker A:Get it?
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:All right, we'll take a short 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.
Speaker A:Don't go anywhere.
Speaker D:I was driving down I30 yesterday and it was stop and go traffic.
Speaker D:There's I guess an accident up ahead.
Speaker D:So I was Putting along at 20 miles an hour, 15 miles an hour, and this little sports car would speed up and get right beside me and then he fall back, you know, just kind of were shuffling back and forth.
Speaker D:He'd go and I go and he'd go and I go and I just Was watching out of the corner of my eye and just kind of mindlessly driving at 20 miles an hour.
Speaker D:And then all of a sudden, I hear this little.
Speaker D:And I said, oh, what did I do?
Speaker D:And I looked out of the corner of my eye, and he's.
Speaker D:He drove right up next to me.
Speaker D:He had his windows rolled down, and he gave me a big old thumbs up.
Speaker D:And I said, what does he give me a thumbs up for?
Speaker D:I was kind of expecting when you have somebody honking at you, you're expecting something else, you know, And.
Speaker D:And then I realized I have that bumper sticker on yours.
Speaker D:That's.
Speaker D:It's.
Speaker D:No, God created the universe.
Speaker D:He can write a book.
Speaker D:And.
Speaker D:And then he just sped off.
Speaker D:Not.
Speaker D:Well, he.
Speaker D:He slowly drove off at 20 miles an hour.
Speaker D:But I just thought that was neat.
Speaker D:That's the first time that anybody really gives a thumbs up for a bumper sticker.
Speaker D:Usually people that have bumper stickers, it's to hold their bumper on their car.
Speaker D:But I just wanted to share that story.
Speaker A:That is an awesome story.
Speaker A:First of all, it's really good that he gave you a thumbs up and didn't use any other fingers.
Speaker A:So let's just say that's for sure.
Speaker A:And then the other part about that is that that's cool, because whether he's listening to the show or not, he agrees with you, Knows that that's true.
Speaker A:Hey, look, God created the universe.
Speaker A:The dude can write a book.
Speaker A:Let's just get that.
Speaker A:Let's get that squared away, you know?
Speaker D:Yes.
Speaker D:And you know what?
Speaker D:He might be listening to the story, to the radio now.
Speaker A:That's exactly right.
Speaker A:What a blessing.
Speaker A:That's cool.
Speaker A:And we do have those bumper stickers.
Speaker A:I know we only have so many, but we were as.
Speaker A:We get this.
