"Lessons from 2 Timothy: Trusting Jesus Amid Unanswered Prayers, Doing Our Best, and Embracing Food for Our Spirit"

A) In 2nd Timothy, Chapter 4, Verse 19, it mentions Priscilla, Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

B) It also notes that Trophimus was left sick in Miletus. This raises a question: given that the Apostle Paul had the gift of healing, why was Trophimus left ill? The answer is that not everyone who prays for healing receives it. This was true for the Apostle Paul and the apostles who followed Jesus. Only Jesus never fails. However, this doesn’t mean we should stop striving to be like Jesus.

C) Verse 21 is noteworthy. It advises, “Do your best to come before winter.” Many people overlook the simplicity of this message. Do your best, pray for blessings, and let Jesus handle the rest. We are encouraged to do our utmost, which is to do our best.

D) The closing of this epistle is powerful: “The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you.” We need Jesus in our minds, hearts, and spirits. Our spirit, the one reborn and transformed into a new being, needs Jesus. We need Jesus working through our new spirit to guide us on the path He desires for us.

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.
