11-19-24 Part 1: Unlocking Life and Peace: The Power of the Spirit
This podcast episode dives deep into the contrasting spiritual states of living according to the flesh versus living in the Spirit, emphasizing that the mindset we adopt significantly influences our spiritual health. Dr. David Spoon explores the idea that those who focus on the things of the flesh create a form of death in their lives, while those who set their minds on the Spirit experience life and peace. He encourages listeners to examine their thoughts and priorities, highlighting the importance of aligning with God's desires to cultivate a fulfilling spiritual life. Through personal anecdotes and biblical references, Dr. Spoon illustrates the ongoing internal struggle that Christians face between their old nature and their new identity in Christ. The discussion also touches on the power of prayer, the necessity of faith, and the importance of maintaining a positive mindset in the face of challenges.
The latest installment of David Spoon's program delves into the contrasting natures that exist within each individual—the old nature bound to sin and the new nature empowered by the Spirit. Drawing from key passages in Romans, Spoon articulates the significance of where one sets their mind, suggesting that this choice ultimately determines one's spiritual state. The narrative emphasizes that a life focused on fleshly desires leads to death, whereas a life oriented toward the Spirit heralds life and peace. Spoon’s passionate delivery invites listeners to introspectively assess their daily thought patterns and their alignment with God's will, urging them to seek a transformation that aligns with the teachings of Jesus.
Listeners are encouraged to contemplate the implications of their focus—whether they gravitate toward earthly concerns or spiritual truths. Spoon's use of personal stories from his own life enhances the relatability of the message. He openly shares his challenges and victories, illustrating the transformative power of faith. The episode encourages a communal approach to spirituality, where listeners are reminded that they are not alone in their struggles. By calling to mind the importance of prayer and community support, Spoon fosters a space where the audience feels empowered to reach out for help, share their victories, and lean on one another in faith.
The episode also features an engaging trivia segment, where Spoon interacts with his listeners, creating a lively atmosphere that balances the serious subject matter with light-hearted fun. This interaction not only serves to educate but also to build a sense of camaraderie among listeners. As the episode concludes with a prayer for healing and strength, Spoon reinforces the idea that faith is a communal journey—one that is enriched by shared experiences and collective support. The overall message encapsulates the essence of living a Spirit-led life, encouraging listeners to embrace both the challenges and blessings that come with their faith journey.

And now for something completely different.
David Spoon:Here's what's coming up this hour on Today's Experience.
David Spoon:It's totally terrific, totally transforming and totally triumphant Tuesday as we find unity from the Father, through the Son and by the Spirit, all for the glory of God Almighty.
David Spoon:We pick it back up in Romans chapter eight.
David Spoon:Basically, we're going to pick it up a little bit at the end of verse four and then on to verse five.
David Spoon:The redeeming work of Jesus Christ was given to us that the accomplishment of the law could be fulfilled through his work, allowing us to no longer be found lacking in righteousness.
David Spoon:But today's focus is specifically tied to identifying the old nature and the flesh as well as the new nature and the Spirit.
David Spoon:Verse 5 gives us the key to understanding whether we're actually following the old nature or the born again spirit.
David Spoon:People who follow their old sinful nature do something very specific.
David Spoon:They continually think about things tied to that nature.
David Spoon:In other words, those who walk in the old and not in the spirit can recognize this simply by examining what you're focusing on.
David Spoon:What are you thinking about?
David Spoon:Aha.
David Spoon:Finally, Paul brings up a critical point.
David Spoon:Those who think in their old nature, in the flesh, they're living in that they're creating a form of death.
David Spoon:We mentioned this last week, but it's just too important to ignore.
David Spoon:Those that live in the flesh, in their old nature, they're creating a form of death for themselves.
David Spoon:But when we think and operate and live in the spirit and by our new nature, a form of life and peace comes from God.
David Spoon:So it's simple.
David Spoon:Would you rather have life and peace or death?
David Spoon:David Spoon's life has been an experience.
David Spoon:While growing up in a Jewish family, he made a wrong turn towards drug abuse.
David Spoon:Then David Spoon found Jesus Christ and his life completely changed.
David Spoon:The more he studied the gospel, the more he wanted to share his experiences with others.
David Spoon:After 35 years of ministry, David discovered a new path of service.
David Spoon:He joined Kam and this radio program began.
David Spoon:You're about to hear the David Spoon Experience.
David Spoon:Welcome to the David Spoon Experience.
David Spoon:Local, national and heavenly talk.

David Spoon:My life's insanities.
David Spoon:No way.
David Spoon:They so much more.
David Spoon:Now remember, it's not professional radio, it's just radio.
David Spoon:And we're asking you what do you think?
David Spoon:Because we do care.
David Spoon:I know it's hard to believe.
David Spoon:Now you can email us during the show.
David Spoon:David must increase.org David hemisincrease.org you can text us during the show.
David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon:It's a telephone, but it probably won't bite you.
David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon:Talking to Janet Jacob is like sharing a cheat meal on your diet with your favorite person.
Janet Jacob:Thank you, David.
Janet Jacob:Happy Tuesday.
David Spoon:Happy Tuesday to you, my friend.
David Spoon:Anything special over the weekend or did you keep it simple?
Janet Jacob:I kept it simple.
Janet Jacob:I unfortunately did not eat a recess over the weekend.
Janet Jacob:I failed.
David Spoon:I'm sad.
David Spoon:I'm sad for you.
David Spoon:I will simply say that Noel and I enjoyed the exquisite meal that every Jewish person has on Christmas.
David Spoon:Chinese food.
David Spoon:Yeah.
David Spoon:So we had Chinese food.
David Spoon:You guys, if you didn't know that, that's law.
David Spoon:It's an unwritten law in Yiddish that on Christmas, if you're Jewish.
David Spoon:Right.
David Spoon:You have Chinese food.
David Spoon:Okay.
David Spoon:Just clearing that up for everybody.
David Spoon:Okay.
Janet Jacob:I did eat a donut today.
David Spoon:Yeah, that's gotta like that, right?
David Spoon:Right.
David Spoon:Don brought in donuts.
David Spoon:Go nuts for donuts.
David Spoon:I mean, you have to love donuts.
David Spoon:I don't care what anybody says.
David Spoon:All right, here's the bottom line.
David Spoon:Why would you reach out to us?
David Spoon:Cause you're crazy.
David Spoon:That'd be the first reason.
David Spoon:Because you're brave.
David Spoon:That's another reason.
David Spoon:Why would you send an email, David missed dot org?
David Spoon:Why would you text us?
David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon:Because every breath you have received should be poured back out unto the Lord.
David Spoon:Every blessing you have received, every moment that you have received, the gracious and the goodness of God should be poured back out as a praise and an acknowledgement because why Eva is in the house.
David Spoon:Every victory acknowledged.
David Spoon:How many victories?
David Spoon:Every victory.
David Spoon:Well, Dave, what if it's a small victory?
David Spoon:Cool.
David Spoon:What if it's a large victory?
David Spoon:Cool.
David Spoon:What if it's a semi victory?
David Spoon:Cool.
David Spoon:Doesn't matter.
David Spoon:Every victory acknowledged because it's right to do that before the Lord.
David Spoon:That's number one.
David Spoon:Number two, besides a praise report, it can be a prayer request because we have some people that just have a lot of things going on.
David Spoon:I want to make sure you understand that because you get prayer, it doesn't mean everything has to Be disastrous every time you get it, every time you pray, sometimes things will be going good.
David Spoon:You just want to know, follow the Lord.
David Spoon:Just do it wisely.
David Spoon:I mean, I think some Christians, and I want to say this carefully, some Christians seem to be afraid of success or things going well, and they walk around going, when's the other shoe going to drop?
David Spoon:When's the other shoe going to drop?
David Spoon:That's the wrong spirit.
David Spoon:You can just be praying, I just want to stay right where I am in the Lord.
David Spoon:I want to be steadfast.
David Spoon:I mean, what's wrong with.
David Spoon:Nothing is wrong with that.
David Spoon:It's wonderful.
David Spoon:It could be something serious.
David Spoon:It could be relation.
David Spoon:It could be finance, it could be health.
David Spoon:It could be any of that.
David Spoon:We're not putting any tags on that.
David Spoon:Whatever's going on, that's what's going on.
David Spoon:Let's pray about it.
David Spoon:Because the answer, I don't care what anybody says anywhere in the universe.
David Spoon:I don't care if they have so many degrees, they call them Dr.
David Spoon:Fahrenheit.
David Spoon:I don't care.
David Spoon:The answer to everything, especially for the Christian, is more of God, period.
David Spoon:Now, you might have a scripture you want to share.
David Spoon:The Lord's been really been dropping scriptures in my life, just kind of in a different way and a different pace.
David Spoon:It's been really interesting.
David Spoon:So I've been a Christian for 46 years.
David Spoon:I never, I can tell you right now, I just never understand the pattern of the Lord.
David Spoon:It's just the Holy Spirit going, if the Lord's put something on your heart, share it.
David Spoon:It's cool.
David Spoon:It's awesome.
David Spoon:That's a great thing.
David Spoon:Maybe it's Bible trivia, I don't know.
David Spoon:Let's find out.
David Spoon:Ready?
David Spoon:Maybe you'll be able to answer this.
David Spoon:If you're not able to answer this, I'm going to be very, very sad.
David Spoon:But the one after this is much tougher.
David Spoon:Who appeared to Peter and the two other disciples when they were on the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus?
David Spoon:Who appeared that Peter and the two other disciples saw when they were on the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus?
David Spoon:Who did that?
David Spoon:Who appeared?
David Spoon:If you think you know, you can reach out to us.
David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon:Jesus brought them up to the Mount of Transfiguration.
David Spoon:Who appeared?
David Spoon:Who appeared?
David Spoon:That Peter and James and John were like, going, whoa.
David Spoon:I think for a reference point, I pretty sure Matthew 17 would be the place you want to go.
David Spoon:Matthew 17.
David Spoon:Just 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
David Spoon:All of that in there.
David Spoon:So if you think, you know, let us know who appeared with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration that Peter, James and John were like, whoa.
David Spoon:Got it.
David Spoon:Cool.
David Spoon:Got that.
David Spoon:Cool.
David Spoon:Got it.
David Spoon:Cool.
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:A couple things to tell you.
David Spoon:Not this week, but next week.
David Spoon:I think next week is next week.
David Spoon:Thanksgiving jam and Jacob.
David Spoon:I think it is.
David Spoon:Isn't it like a week from.
Janet Jacob:Right next Thursday?
David Spoon:Next Thursday.
David Spoon:So keep in mind we'll have a modified schedule, so everybody should be aware of that.
David Spoon:And then there's a couple other things we'll be announcing that we're trying to move forward in.
David Spoon:We'll do the best that we can.
David Spoon:We do have somebody on the phone that's calling in, so I think it's for the trivia.
David Spoon:So we'll take that extra second to give them that chance.
David Spoon:And then we're going to jump into Romans, and I'm going to do a little bit of reteaching.
David Spoon:And if you ever wonder why this is really, really true.
David Spoon:So sometimes I'll reteach something on purpose.
David Spoon:Now, I can say that it's, you know, because you guys didn't get it or something like that, but that's often not why I do reteaching.
David Spoon:Well, I'll reteach something is because I don't think I brought out the most important points of that teaching.
David Spoon:And then I don't want to leave it halfway done.
David Spoon:I want it to be done thoroughly.
David Spoon:So I'd rather have you have to hear it again and have it be more thorough than the other way around, if that makes sense.
David Spoon:Okay.
David Spoon:Okay, cool.
David Spoon:All right, your question.
David Spoon:Who appeared to Peter, James and John while they were on the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus?
David Spoon:Matthew, chapter 17.
David Spoon:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on and so on.
David Spoon:If you know, do we have somebody ready to answer a trivia question?
David Spoon:Let's send them on through.
David Spoon:Knock, knock.
David Spoon:This is David.
David Spoon:Who am I talking to?
Fred:Hi, Dr.
Fred:Spohn.
Fred:This is Fred.
David Spoon:Hello, Fred.
David Spoon:How are you, brother?
Fred:I'm doing fine, sir.
David Spoon:Oh, I'm very glad to hear that.
David Spoon:Always glad to hear that.
David Spoon:Let me set you up on the question.
David Spoon:You can take it from there.
David Spoon:You ready, brother?
Fred:I'm ready.
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:Who appeared to Peter and James and John while they were on the Mount of Transfiguration?
David Spoon:With Jesus.
Fred:Well, most scholars would tell you that Moses, who represented the law, and Elijah, who represented the prophets, appeared with Jesus, who represented grace.
David Spoon:That is correct, Evander.
David Spoon:And for fun, I know you're going to know this, but for fun, do you remember the very last thing that God the Father said to them, said to the boys, the three boys up there, when he said, this is my.
Fred:Son, he says something that all of us need to take heed to, and that is he said, here, Jesus.
Fred:This is my son.
Fred:This is my beloved son.
Fred:This is the one that I want you to hear.
Fred:No one else.
Fred:Jesus.
Fred:There's none other name given unto me about which we must be saved.
Fred:And that name is Jesus.
David Spoon:That is correct, Amundo.
David Spoon:Again.
David Spoon:And that's the key.
David Spoon:You see, I think God the Father's made it pretty clear, okay, here's the law and here's the prophets.
David Spoon:Listen to this guy.
David Spoon:That's kind of like how it's going.
David Spoon:You imagine being there.
David Spoon:You'd be up there going, okay, awesome, awesome.
David Spoon:How are things going?
David Spoon:Oh, okay, my brother.
David Spoon:God bless you.
Fred:Bless you.
David Spoon:Okay, bye.
David Spoon:Bye.
David Spoon:Fred's so much fun.
David Spoon:Isn't he fun?
David Spoon:Fred's fun.
David Spoon:Get that fun.
David Spoon:All right, DNA.
David Spoon:We gotta do DNA.
David Spoon:I don't care.
David Spoon:People were like, you know, you spend this first whole segment, and you always do trivia and talk to people, and then you do DNA.
David Spoon:So that's my answer.
David Spoon:So we're not professional radio, we're just radio.
David Spoon:All right?
David Spoon:D.
David Spoon:Draw closer to the Lord daily.
David Spoon:All right, so here, I'll make it very simple.
David Spoon:Drawing.
David Spoon:Drawing closer to the Lord does not constitute listening to the show.
David Spoon:I'm sorry, I know some people are thinking, no, no, that is one on one time.
David Spoon:I mean one on one time.
David Spoon:I mean, one on one, you and God.
David Spoon:No distraction, no electronics, no everything.
David Spoon:But, Dave, I have to take my phone with me.
David Spoon:So what you're trying to tell me is your time alone with God can be interrupted by the temporal.
David Spoon:Kind of want to lose that one, don't you?
David Spoon:Yeah, let's get rid of that.
David Spoon:Draw closer to the Lord daily.
David Spoon:And never be ashamed of Jesus or his words.
David Spoon:Never, never, never, never, never, never, never.
David Spoon:And why would we be ashamed?
David Spoon:Do you see what these people, what they defend is such.
David Spoon:What the media and what social media and what Hollywood.
David Spoon:They defend such ungodly behavior.
David Spoon:Why could we possible possibly ever care?
David Spoon:How could we possibly care what these people think.
David Spoon:Their opinion has no eternal value, Period.
David Spoon:How could we possibly care?
David Spoon:Never be ashamed of Jesus or his words.
David Spoon:Remember, God created the universe.
David Spoon:The dude can write a book, and then a always be ready.
Janet Jacob:To serve.
David Spoon:Serve.
David Spoon:We're ready.
David Spoon:Does that mean that everybody will love everything we do?
David Spoon:No, it actually does not mean that.
David Spoon:In fact, it does not mean that.
David Spoon:And in reality, it does not mean that.
David Spoon:Here's something I came across when I was reading my devotions today.
David Spoon:Just consider this, okay?
David Spoon:Jesus is approached by the rich young man, right?
David Spoon:In Mark, chapter nine, the story in Mark, chapter nine, that process there.
David Spoon:And in Mark, chapter 10, the rich man, specifically chapter 10, the rich man says, what do I gotta do to get eternal life?
David Spoon:And then Jesus gives them the basic commandments.
David Spoon:Everybody knows this story.
David Spoon:And then he said, all those I've kept.
David Spoon:And he probably really believed that, by the way.
David Spoon:But then Jesus, it says, Jesus loved him and said, go give up everything.
David Spoon:Sell everything you have and come and follow me.
David Spoon:Loving other people does not mean you don't say anything.
David Spoon:In fact, Jesus loved him.
David Spoon:And because he loved him, he told him, you got to get rid of that one God you have in your life.
David Spoon:That's not really God.
David Spoon:Because the rich young man had mammon as his God.
David Spoon:And Jesus, in loving him, told him, you got to get rid of that.
David Spoon:You got to dump that.
David Spoon:So when we're ready to serve, it can be an encouraging word.
David Spoon:It can also be loving somebody by saying, you got to stop doing that.
David Spoon:You got to stop living there.
David Spoon:You got to stop having that attitude.
David Spoon:You gotta stop having that disposition, whether it's a friend, a brother, a sister, a mom, a dad, a child, it doesn't matter.
David Spoon:Sometimes you have to say in love.
David Spoon:Loving them genuinely, that's just not good, man.
David Spoon:Don't do that.
David Spoon:Get rid of that.
David Spoon:Always ready maybe for that word and maybe for this word.
David Spoon:Stop forgetting how much Jesus loves you.
David Spoon:Or maybe this word, he knows you and he wants you anyway.
David Spoon:How about that?
David Spoon:That's one of the weird things that doesn't seem to happen a lot.
David Spoon:Yikes.
David Spoon:We should be a little bit more on target with that.
David Spoon:All right, we'll take our break.
David Spoon:By the way, DNA d draw closer to the Lord daily and never be ashamed of Jesus or his words.
David Spoon:Always be ready to serve.
David Spoon:We'll take our break and then come back.
David Spoon:You're listening to the David Spoon Experience right here on KAM 770, the Truth Station here in Texas.
David Spoon:Short break, we'll be back.
David Spoon:Don't go anywhere.

David Spoon:She is not feeling good, so we'll be praying for her.
David Spoon:Here's your next trivia question, though.
David Spoon:Let's get on this one.
David Spoon:This you got to think about it.
David Spoon:Remember what I'm asking.
David Spoon:Which of the disciples did Philip say to?
David Spoon:So this is Philip.
David Spoon:Who did he say this to?
David Spoon:We have found him of whom Moses and the law and the prophets did.
David Spoon:Right.
David Spoon:Which is really kind of fascinating that I'm asking you this question because I didn't even realize that it was on the heels of the Moses and Elijah one.
David Spoon:Pretty funny.
David Spoon:But which of the disciples did Philip say to?
David Spoon:We have found him of whom Moses and the law and the prophets did?
David Spoon:Right.
David Spoon:John, chapter 1, verses 45 and 46 is where your answer is.
David Spoon:John, chapter 1, verse 45 and 46.
David Spoon:Which of the disciples did Philip say to?
David Spoon:We found him of whom Moses and the law and the prophets did.
David Spoon:Right.
David Spoon:Who did he say that to?
David Spoon:John, chapter one, verse 45 and 46.
David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon:Alrighty.
David Spoon:We didn't do it yesterday on purpose.
David Spoon:This because there's a real reason why.
David Spoon:So I'll let Jake open it up.
David Spoon:Go ahead, open it up.
Janet Jacob:Well, let's start with the Detroit Lions.
Janet Jacob:David, like you said, that the lion roar Sunday was heard when the Detroit Lions beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 52 to 6.
David Spoon:And it wasn't that close.
David Spoon:I just say, I know somebody's thinking that's close game.
David Spoon:That was.
David Spoon:It wasn't even close to that.
Janet Jacob:It was probably close for about 30 seconds.
Janet Jacob:Yes, the first 30 seconds when they.
David Spoon:First kicked off, it was close.
David Spoon:It was an even score.
Janet Jacob:After that they kicked off, they caught the ball and they said, well, game over.
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:All right.
Janet Jacob:So the Lions look really good.
Janet Jacob:They won 52, 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Janet Jacob:And David, you don't Know the score of the Dallas Cows.
Janet Jacob:When did you stop watching?
Janet Jacob:What was the score?
David Spoon:It was 17 to 10.
David Spoon:Houston was over.
David Spoon:Dallas was the last that I had paid attention to it because we had other things going on so I couldn't get any further.
David Spoon:And then I never looked it up.
Janet Jacob:Well, you didn't miss much after that.
Janet Jacob:The Houston Texans beat the Dallas Cowboys 34 to 10.
Janet Jacob:So what you watched was the last.
David Spoon:Time the Cowboys, 70 to 10, 34 to 10.
David Spoon:They didn't even score, right?
Janet Jacob:Yeah, they didn't score after that.
Janet Jacob:Yep.
Janet Jacob:Yep.
Janet Jacob:So it was another bad loss for the Cowboys at home in Arlington.
Janet Jacob:Did you hear about the Cowboys Stadium before the game?
David Spoon:I heard something about a roof.
Janet Jacob:Yeah, they.
Janet Jacob:They hadn't played with an open roof in two years, so they were going to do it last night.
Janet Jacob:So they were getting everything ready.
Janet Jacob:They started opening the roof and a big piece of metal fell from the roof.
David Spoon:Wow.
Janet Jacob:Yeah, it landed on the field.
Janet Jacob:No, but nobody got hurt.
Janet Jacob:Okay, good piece of metal fell and another piece was loose, so they decided not to do the open roof just to be safe.
David Spoon:Wow.
Janet Jacob:Just all around.
Janet Jacob:Not a.
Janet Jacob:Not a good night for the Cowboys.
David Spoon:Wow.
David Spoon:Sergio, we love you.
David Spoon:That is a drag.
David Spoon:But that is a good update.
David Spoon:So we were both two and.
David Spoon:Oh, on those picks.
Janet Jacob:Yes.
David Spoon:Right.
David Spoon:Good job.
David Spoon:Good job on that one.
David Spoon:All right, let's get back to our very, very good.
David Spoon:We'll have another update later in the week as to what's taking place over the weekend in the meantime.
David Spoon:Now, look, I know this is a tough question, but you guys should be able to get this.
David Spoon:Okay?
David Spoon:Which of the disciples did Philip talk to in John, chapter one, verse 45 and 46?
David Spoon:He went to a disciple, one of the twelve, and he said, we have found him, of whom Moses and the law and the prophets did.
David Spoon:Right?
David Spoon:Who did he say that to?
David Spoon:Here's your only hint.
David Spoon:It appears as though that apostle, eventual apostle, was napping underneath a tree.
David Spoon:Napping underneath a tree.
David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon:We go picking it up at.
David Spoon:Really?
David Spoon:Verse 4 of Romans 8, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit?
David Spoon:How is it, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, that we can now fulfill the requirements of the law?
David Spoon:And that is simply laid down as Paul is laying down his theology.
David Spoon:It's based on those who walk according to the Spirit.
David Spoon:And not according to the flesh.
David Spoon:What he's doing is making the big distinguishment.
David Spoon:In chapter seven, what Paul talked about was the struggle with sin.
David Spoon:He talks about salvation in chapter six, the struggle within in chapter seven.
David Spoon:And chapter eight is the solution to the mess.
David Spoon:First, it's in Jesus Christ.
David Spoon:Remember, I thank God through Jesus Christ, my Lord, when he says, O wretched man that I am, who will save me from this body of death?
David Spoon:I thank God through Jesus Christ my Lord.
David Spoon:The answer is God allowing Jesus Christ, providing Jesus Christ, coordinating Jesus Christ to die on the cross for us.
David Spoon:That is the answer.
David Spoon:And now that that answer has been understood, where does the application of that answer come in?
David Spoon:And that is simply this.
David Spoon:Because Jesus ascended, he sent the Holy Spirit to continue the ministry Jesus had on earth.
David Spoon:And it is walking in that ministry of the Holy Spirit that we are empowered to walk in a way that fulfills the desires that God has for us.
David Spoon:And some of us get caught in the war.
David Spoon:Some of us feel like there's two of us.
David Spoon:Don't you?
David Spoon:Don't just we're not being weird.
David Spoon:It's just like there's one part of me that just like loves the Lord, then there's this other part of me that just goes off on these weird tangents, right?
David Spoon:That's the warfare between the old and the new.
David Spoon:That's the warfare between the flesh and the Holy Spirit.
David Spoon:And the Holy Spirit is trying to drag you and I onto one side and the flesh is trying to drag you on another side.
David Spoon:And I want to make sure you understand what that war really encompasses.
David Spoon:The warfare is taking place in your being and your flesh is the access point that Satan's using.
David Spoon:And on the other side is the Holy Spirit accessing your born again spirit.
David Spoon:And you're in the war and that's why there's conflict and that's why there's struggle.
David Spoon:That's why when sometimes you pray.
David Spoon:Let me just make this really easy.
David Spoon:Tell me if you can relate to this.
David Spoon:When you pray, there are times where all of a sudden an at random thought pops in and you lose your track of prayer.
David Spoon:You think that's an accident?
David Spoon:Lord, I'm praying for my neighbor.
David Spoon:I just pray that my neighbor and I get along.
David Spoon:And Lord, hey, I should probably really do something about fertilizing my grass, that kind of thing right there.
David Spoon:That's what I'm talking about.
David Spoon:You know exactly what I'm talking about.
David Spoon:I don't even know why we don't discuss this more openly.
David Spoon:Sometimes people will be watching Something, looking at something, checking out, something in kingdom issues.
David Spoon:And then out of left field comes the most bizarre thought.
David Spoon:And then we go down on a tangent.
David Spoon:Why?
David Spoon:To distract us, to push us away, to lure us away.
David Spoon:So this is coming down to a fight between your born again spirit and your old you, between the devil and the world and the Holy Spirit of God and Jesus interceding for you.
David Spoon:That's what's coming down to.
David Spoon:You're in a war.
David Spoon:You're in an eternal internal, not eternal, internal war.
David Spoon:And for everybody who does that same thing, it just drives me nuts, especially theologically.
David Spoon:Well, the old man's crucified, Dave, so we never have to worry about that.
David Spoon:There's never any recourse from the old man being crucified.
David Spoon:Death is still around.
David Spoon:That is a recourse from the old man.
David Spoon:And he is crucified positionally.
David Spoon:And now practically, God is giving us the tools to walk away and above.
David Spoon:That's what's going on.
David Spoon:And when we get back to the most important element in this, I think in this first 16, 17 verses is what we're going to cover in the meantime, which of the disciples said to Philip, we found him, of whom Moses and the law and the prophets did right.
David Spoon:Who did he say that about?
David Spoon:Nathaniel.
David Spoon:Nathaniel.
David Spoon:Just taking it easy, sitting under a tree.
David Spoon:John, chapter one, verse 45 and 46.
David Spoon:We'll take our break, then we'll come back.
David Spoon:You're listening to the David Spoon Experience right here on KAM 770, the Truth Station here in Texas.
David Spoon:Short break, don't go anywhere.
David Spoon:The David Spoon Experience.
Guest Expert:There was a pastor.
Guest Expert:Now I use that word with some reservation, having been involved in ministry and having the privilege of planting seven churches throughout the United States and having three separate ordinations.
Guest Expert:I have a tremendous amount of respect for people who commit their lives into ministry.
Guest Expert:But whenever there's somebody on television or anywhere else that is a nut job.
David Spoon:Then I just call it like I see it, okay?
David Spoon:That's what I call it like I see it.
Guest Expert:On the Sean Hannity show, roughly about two weeks ago, a Reverend so called Reverend Oliver White was on the show.
Guest Expert:And Reverend Wright said this, and I'm going to repeat it because some of these things are just unbelievable.
Guest Expert:He said that Jesus was wrong about marriage.
Guest Expert:At least he didn't have the audacity to say he never said anything about marriage.
Guest Expert:He said Jesus was wrong about marriage and that marriage should be more than between a man and a woman.
Guest Expert:And then he proceeded to say this statement, ladies and gentlemen, he said this now this isn't even the thing that's irritated.
Guest Expert:Then he proceeded to say this.
Guest Expert:If Jesus were alive today.
David Spoon:He said.
Guest Expert:He would say, I didn't know it all.
Guest Expert:This is a man who's supposed to be representing Jesus Christ as a minister.
Guest Expert:This guy's no minister.
Guest Expert:And if you want to say, well, that's judging.
Guest Expert:I'll take that judgment all day long.
David Spoon:All day long.
Guest Expert:I'll take that judgment no matter what anybody says.
Guest Expert:Here's a guy that says two things.
Guest Expert:One, Jesus was wrong about marriage.
Guest Expert:Two, if Jesus were alive today, any person who proclaims or professes to be a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ and questions whether Jesus Christ is alive today or not is not a minister, but a false teacher.
Guest Expert:I don't care.
Guest Expert:I don't care if you like it.
Guest Expert:I don't care if you think that's mean.
Guest Expert:That's irrelevant.
Guest Expert:Facts are facts.
Guest Expert:And here's the thing that just overwhelms me.
Guest Expert:This overwhelms me.
Guest Expert:Ladies and gentlemen.
Guest Expert:Any person who is in public office now this goes with this.
Guest Expert:All three, three of these things go together.
Guest Expert:Any person who is in public office who changes their convictions about same sex marriage because another family member has made a decision to go into the lifestyle of being gay or lesbian, any person who changes their convictions, their biblical Christian convictions based on another family member changing their status into a gay or lesbian lifestyle and then that person then changes their Bible convictions to accommodate their family member is not fit to be a Christian.
David Spoon:That's right.
David Spoon:I said it.
David Spoon:Welcome back to the David Spoon Experience.
David Spoon:Thank you for joining us here at KAM 770, the Truth Station here in Texas.
David Spoon:That's KAAM 770, the Truth Station here in Texas.

David Spoon:Take the call.

David Spoon:God bless you, too.
David Spoon:Bye.
David Spoon:Bye.
David Spoon:Bye.
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:That's funny, huh?
David Spoon:Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord.
David Spoon:I want to point out, yesterday my wife pointed out something very important to me.
David Spoon:I said something about quarters, and she said, there are no more pay phones.
David Spoon:It's like, really?
David Spoon:Oh, that's sad.
David Spoon:All right, let's go back into the text.
David Spoon:I want to get into the text, and then we'll do either the.
David Spoon:Oh, I do want to pray for Nancy.
David Spoon:Oh, wait, wait.
David Spoon:Let me do that real quickly.
David Spoon:That is really important.
David Spoon:Okay.
David Spoon:Because she's hurting.
David Spoon:So just take a minute and stretch your faith.
David Spoon:You can stretch your hand out.
David Spoon:People do that as, like, a symbolic extension of their faith, but just stretch your faith with mine.
David Spoon:Let's put it together and pray.
David Spoon:Father, we come before you right now, Lord.
David Spoon:We cannot possibly give you enough thanks.
David Spoon:I just don't get it.
David Spoon:We just.
David Spoon:There's no way we can do it.
David Spoon:You have saved us, helped us, delivered us, protected us, watched over us in ways we don't even know yet.
David Spoon:And in the ways that we do know, we hardly say thank you in those.
David Spoon:Thank you for everything.
David Spoon:Thank you for everything that you've protected us from.
David Spoon:Thank you for protecting us from the enemy who wants to kill us and that you've given us such grace and such life and such kindness.
David Spoon:We lift up your daughter Nancy to you, and we ask you to bring your healing power into her life.
David Spoon:And not just her life, Lord, but, you know, we want to pray for Jeanette.
David Spoon:We want to pray for all our people that are connected to us.
David Spoon:We want to pray for people who are hurting physically because you are Jehovah, Rapha, because you do heal people.
David Spoon:And we just want to take that ounce of faith and.
David Spoon:And remove any doubt and say, lord, bring that healing power into their lives.
David Spoon:We just believe.
David Spoon:No, we know you can.
David Spoon:And that the struggle that we have as enemies.
David Spoon:But will he.
David Spoon:That's the.
David Spoon:And it's always doubt.
David Spoon:Help us to move the doubt out.
David Spoon:Show us your power.
David Spoon:Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven and in these lives.
David Spoon:We pray in Jesus name.
David Spoon:Amen and Amen.
David Spoon:Okay.
David Spoon:All right, back to the text.
David Spoon:Now.
David Spoon:I'm gearing you up.
David Spoon:I'm trying to help you.
David Spoon:I'm trying to be nice.
David Spoon:Romans, chapter 8, verse 5.
David Spoon:For those who live according to the flesh.
David Spoon:Here we go.
David Spoon:Set their minds on the things of the flesh.
David Spoon:But those who live according to the spirit.
David Spoon:The things of the spirit.
David Spoon:This is not rocket science.
David Spoon:You have to tell what's going on.
David Spoon:Let me explain something to you, and I want to say it in a right way.
David Spoon:I'm trying to say it not infinitely in a humble way, but in a truthful way.
David Spoon:God knows when you're walking in the spirit or when you're walking in the flesh.
David Spoon:Get that?
David Spoon:I got a bad message for you.
David Spoon:Satan most likely knows when you're walking in the spirit or in the flesh.
David Spoon:We often don't know when we're walking in the spirit in the flesh.
David Spoon:And that's the person that needs to know.
David Spoon:And so Paul in Romans 8:5 gives the defense definitive, definitive answer.
David Spoon:Look, if you're always thinking about things of the flesh, you're walking in the flesh.
David Spoon:If you're always thinking about things in the spirit, you're walking in the spirit.
David Spoon:Remember we said about Colossians 3, 1, 2, we're supposed to seek the things that are above.
David Spoon:And in verse two, it says, set your mind on things above.
David Spoon:Where we set our thinking process determines largely on whether we're operating in the spirit or in the flesh.
David Spoon:And when Peter said to Jesus, oh, you're not going to get crucified, that's a bad idea.
David Spoon:We're not going to let that happen.
David Spoon:Even though he had a good motive behind it.
David Spoon:That doesn't mean anything.
David Spoon:Jesus said as he looked at his disciples and said this.
David Spoon:Get behind me, Satan.
David Spoon:You have in mind the things of man and not the things of God.
David Spoon:We've got to do a better job of setting our mind above.
David Spoon:We've got to do a better job of setting our mind on things regarding the kingdom of God.
David Spoon:Where's the kingdom of God?
David Spoon:Where God is king.
David Spoon:And what we should be praying is where he's not king, so to speak.
David Spoon:We should be praying, thy kingdom come, thy will be done.
David Spoon:We want the kingdom of God to be operating in all these areas.
David Spoon:And a big way for us to be able to tell.
David Spoon:An indicator, a buzzer is the stuff that goes on between our left and right ear.
David Spoon:No, there's nothing fleshly, carnal or spiritual about.
David Spoon:I'm going to make some, you know, some lasagna for dinner, for the kids.
David Spoon:There's nothing that's not what we're talking about, the fleshly is when it's all about our self gain, even if it's somebody else's gain, but on our that we might receive drip blessings.
David Spoon:That's also selfish.
David Spoon:This should be about Jesus.
David Spoon:This should be about the kingdom of God.
David Spoon:This should be about being vehicles of his love and his grace and his mercy.
David Spoon:This should be about truth.
David Spoon:The truth is love is not love.
David Spoon:That's a flesh touch.
David Spoon:Satan uses that for God so loved the love that he gave.
David Spoon:That's love.
David Spoon:The Holy Spirit uses that.
David Spoon:That's the born again spirit going, yes sir.
David Spoon:And when we look at Jesus, and Satan challenged him.
David Spoon:Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
David Spoon:That bread that Jesus is talking about is the word of God which feeds your born again spirit, which is the new you.
David Spoon:That's what he's talking about.
David Spoon:That's.
David Spoon:We gotta get into that.
David Spoon:And when we have so much mind time to focus on us that the spotlight's on us or our flesh, our advantage.
David Spoon:Us, us, us, us, us.
David Spoon:It's amazing.
David Spoon:Philippians 2 says, Consider not your own things only, but also the things of others.
David Spoon:When you take other people into genuine concern and love and appreciation and share their struggle, you are walking in the spirit.
David Spoon:You are fulfilling the love and the law of Christ.
David Spoon:But when it's all just like that movie Little Nemo, all those birds, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
David Spoon:That's a whole lot of kernel and a whole lot of flesh and a whole lot of old man.
David Spoon:So Paul just says it very clearly.
David Spoon:He doesn't even pull.
David Spoon:He doesn't even care.
David Spoon:You have to love them.
David Spoon:I love this about Paul.
David Spoon:Those that live according to the flesh set their mind on the things of the flesh.
David Spoon:Those who live according to the spirit set their mind on the things of the spirit.
David Spoon:That's what the word of God says.
David Spoon:That's the parameter we use to determine.
David Spoon:Get that?
David Spoon:Ooh, that's good.
David Spoon:Yeah, that's pretty good.
David Spoon:We'll take a short break and then come back.
David Spoon:You're listening to the David Spoon experience right here on KAM 770, the Truth Station here in Texas.
David Spoon:Short break.
David Spoon:We'll be back.
David Spoon:Don't go anywhere.
Announcer:The Christian faith is being attacked.
Announcer:Fifty years ago, people would disagree with Christianity, but with a sense of respect.
Announcer:Those days are over.
Announcer:The rage, the flesh the enemy.
Announcer:And the atmosphere of sin is growing and growing.
Announcer:Jesus said in Matthew 24, the love of many will grow cold.
Announcer:And if it's not the end now, it's certainly a lot closer than it was yesterday.
Announcer:You may be from a Baptist background.
Announcer:David Spoon has that.
Announcer:You may have a Pentecostal background.
Announcer:He has that, too.
Announcer:You may have a nondenominational background.
Announcer:Yep, he's got that as well.
Announcer:You may be from the Church of Christ Presbyterian Methodist Church of God or some other denomination, but if you're looking for a show that's Bible based, spirit led and a bit nutty, give David a listen for a while.
Announcer:If you like it, great.
Announcer:If not, no worries.
Announcer:The David Spoon Experience.
Announcer:The David Spoon Experience.
David Spoon:Knock, knock.
David Spoon:This is David.
David Spoon:Who am I talking to?
Speaker I:David, this is brother Ace.
David Spoon:Hey, brother Ace.
David Spoon:How are you, my bro?
Speaker I:I'm doing good.
Speaker I:I'm under a tree in the shade and eating chicken and dumpins.
David Spoon:Nice.
David Spoon:That's nice.
David Spoon:Good for you.
David Spoon:That's how you're in the shade eating chicken and dumplings.
David Spoon:I like it.
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:I gave this clue, and I think some people might have not quite caught it, so I'm hoping you did.
David Spoon:Which King said, as I was lying in my bed, the images and visions that passed through my mind terrified me.
Speaker I:Are you looking for Nebuchadnezzar?
David Spoon:That is correct, sir.
David Spoon:Yes, sir.
David Spoon:Remember now, the reason that I gave the moo sound is because he was driven and he ate with the cattle, and so I just gave the moo.
Speaker I:Yeah, that was quite an experience for the man to be a king and then have to eat and be like a cow.
David Spoon:Yeah.
Speaker I:God's got to humble us sometimes, and we just got to accept it, you know?
David Spoon:That's exactly right.
David Spoon:You know, you think about that guy and you think, he, that guy, he would have been.
David Spoon:And even Daniel Warnham, he would have been fine, except he walked out on that.
David Spoon:He walked out on his foray and he goes, I have built all this.
David Spoon:It's like, yeah, that was a dumb thing to say right there.
David Spoon:That.
David Spoon:That was it.
David Spoon:You and Elsie the cow.
David Spoon:That's what happened right there.
David Spoon:That was bad.
Speaker I:Yeah, that's exactly right.
Speaker I:I'll tell you.
Speaker I:Well, that's good.
Speaker I:I mean, life is full of surprises.
Speaker I:But one thing you cannot do is be haughty in there in the presence of the Lord.
Speaker I:I know that.
David Spoon:Amen, brother.
Speaker I:All right, what's good?
Speaker I:Talk to you.
Speaker I:I encourage Gabriel to continue to rise to his profession.
Speaker I:It'll be good.
David Spoon:Yep, you got it.
David Spoon:And we'll work it all together and we'll help him get there.
David Spoon:Right?
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:Brother, Love you in the Lord, bro.
Speaker I:Thanks for praying for me.
Speaker I:Appreciate that.
David Spoon:You got it.
David Spoon:Welcome back to the David Spoon Experience.
David Spoon:Thank you for joining us here at KAM 770, the Truth Station here in Texas.
David Spoon:That's Kaaman 770, the Truth Station here in Texas, where a quick reminder, I will not be sending texts until after 4.
David Spoon:Okay.
David Spoon:And so you guys are seeing sometimes that actually happens.
David Spoon:And so sometimes they get really caught up.
David Spoon:And I didn't get to send out texts yesterday till 6.
David Spoon:So sometimes it happens.
David Spoon:It's just one of those things.
David Spoon:All right, here you go.
David Spoon:This is a fun last question.
David Spoon:I think you guys should get this.
David Spoon:I hope you get this.
David Spoon:Okay, that's my comment.
David Spoon:What did Jesus tell Peter to do with the money that Peter found in the mouth of a fish?
David Spoon:Okay.
David Spoon:What did Jesus tell Peter to do with the money that he found in the mouth of a fish?
David Spoon:Matthew 17.
David Spoon:I think it's 24 to 27.
David Spoon:24, 25, 26, 27.
David Spoon:What did Jesus tell Peter to do with the money he found in the mouth of the fish?
David Spoon:What did he tell him to do with it?
David Spoon:What should Peter do with that money?
David Spoon:Remember that situation.
David Spoon:Straightforward answer.
David Spoon:If you think you know.
David Spoon: ,: David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon:As well as send an email, David, that he must increase.
David Spoon:Okay.
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:So I just want to make sure you understand.
David Spoon:What did Jesus tell Peter to do with the money that he found in the mouth of the fish?
David Spoon:Matthew 17, 24 through 27.
David Spoon:What?
David Spoon:One quick comment, then we'll get to what we need to get to.
David Spoon:I, like Eric, picked up on something that I said, and I just want to acknowledge it.
David Spoon:One of the things I said was move the doubt out.
David Spoon:Let me tell you something, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls and creatures of all ages and sizes, that is one thing we must do, is move the doubt out.
David Spoon:That's what's required for anything to be possible to him that believes.
David Spoon:You can't have doubt and faith.
David Spoon:They wash each other out.
David Spoon:Move the doubt out, have a mustard seed of faith and move the mountain.
David Spoon:That's what we're told to do.
David Spoon:Get it?
David Spoon:Ooh, nice.
David Spoon:All right, we do have somebody ready to answer a trivia question.
David Spoon:Let's send them on through.
David Spoon:Knock, knock.
David Spoon:This is David.
David Spoon:Who am I talking to?
Brother Ace:This is Samson.
David Spoon:Hey, Samson, what's going on?
Brother Ace:Hey, I disagree with that ad about the waffle.
Brother Ace:It doesn't just come in a round shape.
Brother Ace:It also comes in a square and rectangular shape, so.
Brother Ace:As well.
David Spoon:But that, of course, is the eggo.
David Spoon:Waffle is round.
David Spoon:See, that was the key.
David Spoon:It's an egg.
David Spoon:Eggo commercial.
David Spoon:And an Eggo waffle is.
Brother Ace:The eggos also come with it.
David Spoon:Do they come flavor?
David Spoon:I think waffles should come with a handle, and it should just be easier.
David Spoon:Just, like, grab it.
David Spoon:Okay, I got it done.
David Spoon:Thanks.
David Spoon:Where's the syrup?
David Spoon:What's happening, bro?
Brother Ace:Just praying.
Brother Ace:And like earlier, you said it removed the doubt some, and that's.
Brother Ace:That's where I am.
Brother Ace:And, I mean, there's a less doubt.
Brother Ace:It's like a more.
Brother Ace:Lord, what's happening?
Brother Ace:Show me where I need to correct myself.
Brother Ace:Yeah.
Brother Ace:I mean, auto correct doesn't work, so I need to do, man.
David Spoon:Really?
David Spoon:Yeah.
David Spoon:And it's a.
David Spoon:It's a war.
David Spoon:I mean, it's a fight.
David Spoon:And there's.
David Spoon:I don't think people should see it as anything else.
David Spoon:And what I don't think people understand is that is the spiritual warfare.
David Spoon:That is a big part of spiritual warfare.
David Spoon:That what happens is we try to seize on faith.
David Spoon:And the enemy, using either our flesh, the world, or directly attempting us, tries to get us to squish the faith and allow doubt to rise against it.
David Spoon:That's one of his tactics, which is why we have the shield of faith that's supposed to protect us.
David Spoon:So faith becomes a weapon almost in many ways.
David Spoon:The people will say defensive, and it is.
David Spoon:But they also used those shields to hit.
David Spoon:And so it's mostly defensive, but also offensive.
David Spoon:And it's a weapon that we need to think of it this way.
David Spoon:If Satan throws a fiery dart, it's a flaming dart.
David Spoon:Then that shield of faith is a shield of water that puts the doubt and the dart out.
David Spoon:That's how we have to think of it.
David Spoon:You see?
David Spoon:Yes.
David Spoon:Yeah.
David Spoon:Yes.
David Spoon:Did you want to answer the trivia question?
Brother Ace:Sure.
David Spoon:Okay.
David Spoon:What did Jesus tell Peter to do with the money that he found in the mouth of the fish?
Brother Ace:Think it is the irs.
Brother Ace:Treasury Department.
David Spoon:Yeah, I don't know if it was IRS or I don't know what you call that.
David Spoon:Roman.
David Spoon:Let's see.
David Spoon:Internal Revenue.
David Spoon:Internal Roman system.
David Spoon:That is correct.
David Spoon:Amundo.
David Spoon:You are right, sir.
David Spoon:You are right on that trivia question, right?
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:Good job.
David Spoon:Let me pray a blessing over you.
David Spoon:Ready?
David Spoon:Thank you.
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:Father, we come before you right now.
David Spoon:We love you, we praise you, we thank you.
David Spoon:We thank you for everybody in our audience.
David Spoon:Everybody.
David Spoon:That's a part of every.
David Spoon:And here's what I'm asking for, Lord, that you would give Samson the move the doubt out mindset.
David Spoon:That he would push against it and fight against it, pick up the shield of faith and quench the darts of the enemy.
David Spoon:And that his faith would push him past the circumstance and into great confidence and peace with you.
David Spoon:We pray that in Jesus name, amen.
David Spoon:And amen.
Brother Ace:Hey, I'm praying for Sister Nancy and I feel like a lot.
David Spoon:I think we just lost her.
Brother Ace:She has been caring.
David Spoon:Okay.
David Spoon:All right, my brother.
David Spoon:God bless you.
David Spoon:All right, let me do this last little bit.
David Spoon:It's pretty cool.
David Spoon:It's verse six coming off of verse five on Romans.
David Spoon:Romans 8, 6.
David Spoon:Now, here's first five, and then I'll do it real fast.
David Spoon:Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on things of the flesh.
David Spoon:Those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on things of the Spirit.
David Spoon:Verse 6.
David Spoon:For to be carnally minded.
David Spoon:For to be carnally minded, which is also fleshly minded, to be carnally minded, fleshly minded is death.
David Spoon:But to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
David Spoon:You want to know another way to tell whether you're operating in the old or new?
David Spoon:You how much of your life is operating in life and peace and how much of it is operating in death.
David Spoon:Now, with death comes all of the negative elements that are connected to that.
David Spoon:So in other words, death in and of itself.
David Spoon:The idea behind this is for all of us to understand.
David Spoon:This is death and everything that leads up to death.
David Spoon:And what's being said by the apostle under the leading of the Holy Spirit is, look, set your mind on things that have to do with the Spirit, not the flesh.
David Spoon:And here's a reason why.
David Spoon:Because if you're fleshly minded, it's a drag, it's dark.
David Spoon:That's a great way to understand that.
David Spoon:It's dismal, it's discouraging, it's depressing, it's downtrodden, it's all those negative Ds that go in there.
David Spoon:But if we're spiritually minded, if we're connected to the spirit, if we're walking in the new born again man, there is life and there is peace.
David Spoon:And I got a message for you.
David Spoon:Jesus is the prince of peace, right?
David Spoon:Nobody's gonna argue that.
David Spoon:Correct, Dave?
David Spoon:Jesus is the prince of peace.
David Spoon:So when you as a Christian are operating with Jesus in your heart by faith, the Holy Spirit in your life by temple, and you find out that you have peace rolling through you.
David Spoon:It means that you're connected to the head, which is Christ.
David Spoon:But if there's nothing but darkness, that's what's.
David Spoon:That's.
David Spoon:Therein lies the fight.
David Spoon:Get that?
David Spoon:Therein lies the fight.
David Spoon:And what I'm trying to say to you is I think we're out, aren't we?
David Spoon:We're out.
David Spoon:Oh, I gotta go.
David Spoon:What I'm trying to say is choose peace and life.
David Spoon:All right, folks, you've been listening to the David Spoon Experience right here on KAM 770, the truth station here in Texas.
