David Spoon:That thingy right there.
David Spoon:Here you go.
David Spoon:Not to manipulate, not to manipulate, but when was the last time the Lord answered one of your prayers?
David Spoon:When was the last time the Lord answered one of your prayers?
David Spoon:And then the follow up question is, did you share about that?
David Spoon:When was the last time the Lord answered one of your prayers?
David Spoon:Mine happened today already.
David Spoon:Did you share that?
David Spoon:I will be sharing that in a little bit.
David Spoon:Did you share it?
David Spoon:When's the last time the Lord answered one of your prayers?
David Spoon:If you have a response to that or if you have an opinion, a comment, a thought or a question, we don't want it to die of loneliness.
David Spoon:Just reach out and give us a call.
David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon:Wow.
David Spoon:A new sound for Jem and Jacob.
David Spoon:You get the impression that this might have a little bit to do with Christmas.
David Spoon:I could be wrong.
David Spoon:But anyway, talking to Jem and Jacob, that's like talking to a person that you can count on.
David Spoon:Aw, that's sweet.
David Spoon:Thank you, David.

David Spoon:You can also text for those that don't know the text number.
David Spoon:See, I don't say Texas because it sounds like Texas, and so Texas sounds like Texas.
David Spoon:And then text us sounds like Texas.
David Spoon:And I don't want to do that.
David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon:A little slower for those who need it.
David Spoon: -: David Spoon:That was way too slow.
David Spoon:I just want to point that out.
David Spoon:Additionally, you can send an email.

David Spoon:Must increase.org d a v I d davidcrease all one.org you can send an email, you can text, you can call us.
David Spoon:I'll tell you what that's all about.
David Spoon:But we do have somebody on the line.
David Spoon:So before we do anything else, we're going to take this person online, give them a chance to talk, see what's going on.
David Spoon:So let's send them on through.
David Spoon:Knock, knock.
David Spoon:This is David.
David Spoon:Who am I talking to?
Cordelia:Hi, Dr.
Cordelia:David.
Cordelia:This is Joy Ann.
Cordelia:Happy birthday today.
David Spoon:Thank you, Joanne.
David Spoon:Thank you so much.
David Spoon:I appreciate that.
David Spoon:I'm having my 33rd anniversary from turning 30.
Cordelia:I love it.
Cordelia:Oh, amen.
Cordelia:You know, five years ago, about this very time, Cordelia, my twin sister, and I discovered your radio program.
Cordelia:And it was in the middle of the night.
Cordelia:I had been displaced from my home.
Cordelia:It was just an incredibly sad time.
Cordelia:And I happened to turn the radio on on am.
Cordelia:I usually listen to FM radio.
Cordelia:And your voice was on the radio.
Cordelia:It was about 2:40am as I recall.
Cordelia:And I thought, oh, this guy is so encouraging.
Cordelia:And I looked up on the Internet the next day, I saw a bodybuilder by the name of David Spoon.
Cordelia:But ultimately, Cordelia helped me to find this.
Cordelia:Y'all have been such an encouragement.
Cordelia:But do you have a minute for an incredible praise?
David Spoon:Absolutely.
David Spoon:That's what we live for.
David Spoon:You got it.
Cordelia:Okay.
Cordelia:So you asked that question just now, when did the Lord answer prayer?
Cordelia:And so, you know.
Cordelia:But four months ago, my sister and I moved into a rental house, which is beautiful, but that lease was up, and I found my.
Cordelia:One of my old Bibles as I was just unpacking some of my favorite Bibles.
Cordelia:And this particular Bible was just worn and torn and, you know, even embarrassing to bring to church.
Cordelia:It looked so grungy.
Cordelia:But it was a favorite.
Cordelia:And I happened to open up to a prayer.
Cordelia:I prayed a year ago.
Cordelia:And in that prayer, I said I was weeping because I wanted a home in my own home.
Cordelia:And last night I got to sleep in my own home.
Cordelia:And it's beautiful.
Cordelia:Here is my Jesus house, Dr.
Cordelia:David.
Cordelia:It's a gift from my Lord.
Cordelia:My husband, too, but from my Lord.
Cordelia:It's my Jesus house, and it's so pretty.
Cordelia:And I want it to be a place of hospitality and joy.
Cordelia:So thank you for letting me share that incredible praise.
David Spoon:Excellent, excellent praise.
David Spoon:And see, it tells you and it teaches you, right, that the Lord.
David Spoon:See, the timing on these prayers is.
David Spoon:We just, you know, we talk about this a lot, but everybody thinks they know the timing.
David Spoon:It's like, the Lord is like, no, no, no, I got the watch.
David Spoon:Just hang out and stick with me.
David Spoon:And so you have this prayer and you write it in there.
David Spoon:And the Lord has answered that prayer and brought it to fruition to your face.
David Spoon:And what's amazing about stuff like that and how the Lord does that, I want to share something with you that happened to me.
David Spoon:And it's not as cool as yours, but it is really kind of a coolie kind of thing.
David Spoon:And so Noel and I were in this place, and I was going through the garage, and I picked up this bag that I had not looked at for, like, two years.
David Spoon:And I was like, what is this thing?
David Spoon:And I open it and open, zip it.
David Spoon:And in it there was a note that said, david, this is from David, go get your doctorate.
David Spoon:It was like, I'm like going, uh, oh.
David Spoon:It's like the Lord's timing and all of these things is so perfect.
David Spoon:And we think we know, and then we're going through it and we're feeling on the downside of it.
David Spoon:But the Lord's like, you let me handle it.
David Spoon:I'm going to answer your prayer.
David Spoon:I'm going to get you there.
David Spoon:I'm going to bless you.
David Spoon:Have confidence in me.
David Spoon:And that's what he does.
David Spoon:He manifests that to us.
David Spoon:And it's like, that is an extension of his love for you, Joanne, and for Cordelia.
David Spoon:And he's telling you, I heard it and I was on it and I took care of it.
David Spoon:Is that just awesome?
Cordelia:Amen.
Cordelia:And one verse, that's a favorite.
Cordelia:You know, Psalm 68.
Cordelia:6 is, God puts the lonely in families.
Cordelia:And then this other version, the CSB says God provides homes for those who are deserted.
Cordelia:And this is my own home.
Cordelia:At my age, I'm a little over 70, my first time to be a homeowner.
Cordelia:So would you just pray that this home would be such a blessing?
Cordelia:It will be a place of outreach, like our wonderful Ace.
Cordelia:And don't we wish we could be there with them at the memorial today?
Cordelia:But he would pass out CDs and just was such a witness.
Cordelia:I want this house to be such a witness.
Cordelia:So would you pray for that?
David Spoon:Yes.
David Spoon:And then after that, I am going to share.
David Spoon:I'm actually going to read that obituary that they wrote for him because I thought it was very well done.
David Spoon:Let's pray over your house first.
David Spoon:We're going to dedicate it to the Lord.
David Spoon:Let's do it.
David Spoon:Father, we come before you right now.
David Spoon:We thank you and we praise you for everything.
David Spoon:Lord, we don't even understand everything, but your faithfulness surpasses us.
David Spoon:Your peace pushes past our understanding.
David Spoon:Your grace is something that we receive and do so joyfully.
David Spoon:And we thank you for how many times you've poured your mercy upon each and every one of us.
David Spoon:Now, this home that Joanne is in, it's her home, her first home.
David Spoon:Her and Cordelia.
David Spoon:But it's your home.
David Spoon:And we ask you, Lord, as we dedicate it, as we separate it unto you, that this would be a house of blessing.
David Spoon:May it help people who are lonely and hurting.
David Spoon:May it bless people, be a location of blessing for people that need to know there's love for them.
David Spoon:May it be a place of refreshment and encouragement and anointing.
David Spoon:And let it be a beacon in and of itself.
David Spoon:Because, Lord, if it's your home, it shines bright.
David Spoon:Let that bright light shine in the darkness, and people reach out and be blessed by it.
David Spoon:Give the gals all the wisdom they need to be the best stewards they can be.
David Spoon:But all of it unto your glory and your honor.
David Spoon:It's yours.
David Spoon:We lift it up to you.
David Spoon:We ask your blessings upon it.
David Spoon:In Jesus name, Amen and amen.
Speaker D:Oh, Amen.
Cordelia:We received that and thank you again.
Cordelia:Happy birthday.
Cordelia:We love you all, you and your wife and your family so much.
Cordelia:Dr.
Cordelia:David, carry on.
David Spoon:All right.
David Spoon:Thank you so much.
David Spoon:It's Very, very kind of you.
David Spoon:Thank you.
Cordelia:All right, thanks.
David Spoon:That's the way you open a show.
David Spoon:All right, so there are a couple things I do want to read this thing, and I'm going to do that in just a second.
David Spoon:But I do want you to be aware in regards to reaching out to us, whether you want to call, call us or whether you want to text us.
David Spoon:If you call, you know you got to call the 1 number.
David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon: -: David Spoon:Or you can send an email.
David Spoon:That's totally cool.
David Spoon:Now, I know some people are like, hey, you're going to get to a teaching, right?
David Spoon:I'm going to get there.
David Spoon:But there's a couple things we need to do first, because one of the things that we pray about being the he must increase ministry.
David Spoon:Ministry and with the David Spoon experience and stuff is I pray every single day that the Lord would bless the ministry and that it would be.
David Spoon:Listen to what I pray.
David Spoon:I pray this every day.
David Spoon:And I've been praying this every day for since the beginning.
David Spoon:It'd be a Christian community, a Christian family, a Christian fellowship.
David Spoon:Okay?
David Spoon:We're not a church.
David Spoon:And the reason I bring that up is because I want you to be connected to a church.
David Spoon:I want you to be connected to a place.
David Spoon:It's because it's a benefit to you.
David Spoon:It's not like, oh, you're not going to go to heaven if you don't.
David Spoon:That's nobody saying anything like that.
David Spoon:Oh, you can't share about this.
David Spoon:Nobody say anything like that.
David Spoon:Being connected to a church is a benefit.
David Spoon:It's a blessing for you.
David Spoon:That's why I want it to be that way.
David Spoon:But in our ministry here, because we don't do marriage.
David Spoon:We don't do marriage, we don't do funerals, and we don't do communion.
David Spoon:You know, we don't do baptism.
David Spoon:So I'm just telling you what's going on there.
David Spoon:So we're a fellowship.
David Spoon:And so what I'm praying is the Lord would bless us as a Christian community, which is outreach to everybody.
David Spoon:Christian family.
David Spoon:We're already family in Jesus, Heavenly Father, blood relatives.
David Spoon:I was talking to Don about this today.
David Spoon:People are like, well, blood is thicker than water.
David Spoon:People say that, but that's cool because they're trying to use this connection between water being baptism and blood.
David Spoon:Being your family line.
David Spoon:Hey, as Christians, we happen to be blood relatives, the blood of Jesus Christ.
David Spoon:So you're right.
David Spoon:Blood is thicker than water.
David Spoon:And so it's in the Father that we find unity because he's our heavenly Father.
David Spoon:It's in the Son that we find our unity, our connection, because we're blood relatives and we all drink of one Holy Spirit.
David Spoon:And that is so important.
David Spoon:I mean, it's just I can't even express the importance because it is in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit that we have unity.
David Spoon:And the scripture tells us to keep the unity.
David Spoon:And so when we pray for this ministry is praying.
David Spoon:Lord, bless a Christian community, a Christian family, a Christian fellowship to be a blessing to one another.
David Spoon:That's what we want.
David Spoon:We don't do it perfect.
David Spoon:I can guarantee you I've made more mistakes than I want to put down on a piece of paper.
David Spoon:But it's what we need for one another to support one another as things are going on.
David Spoon:When you hear in the next 60 minutes, I'm going to talk about this thing that happened in real estate that Aunt Deb will be like, whoa, it's a mind blower and it's coming.
David Spoon:So I want you to be aware of that.
David Spoon:But as part of the family situation, I want to say this.
David Spoon:One of our dearest listeners, five.
David Spoon:The show's been on for almost six years.
David Spoon:Not quite six years, more than five and a half, not quite six.
David Spoon:One of our dearest, closest, most beloved listeners was Brother Ace.
David Spoon:On Friday, Brother Ace went to be with Jesus with no separation.
David Spoon:Lucky guy.
David Spoon:And I'm telling you, he's up there and him and Pastor Ray.
David Spoon:I know they're swapping stories, but we'll just leave that for what it is.
David Spoon:What I want to do is make you aware at 2 o'clock today there is, of course, a service for Brother Ace.
David Spoon:We announced that yesterday.
David Spoon:And just so people can be aware, it's at the Miles Cemetery in miles, Texas at 2pm and it's going to take place.
David Spoon:But I wanted to read what they wrote about Brother Ace.
David Spoon:And I want you to know that even as I'm reading this, this is better than me, than I could have written.
David Spoon:But it's not good enough because he was better than even this.
David Spoon:Let me read it to you.
David Spoon:Gerald Wayne, Ace Elliot.
David Spoon: ,: David Spoon: ,: David Spoon:And Emmeline Elliot grew up on a dairy farm northwest of Miles, Texas.
David Spoon: ted from Miles high school in: David Spoon:After high school, he attended Southwestern University for a short time studying business administration.
David Spoon:He pursued many employment interests, including car salesman, bartender and dealer in Las Vegas.
David Spoon:But his greatest accomplishment was evangelism.
David Spoon: lished the Church of Texas in: David Spoon:He gave away thousands of gospel CDs at his many outreach efforts at truck stops and Walmarts in the area in an effort to spread the word of God.
David Spoon:Is that amazing?
David Spoon:The closing of it says, well done, my good and faithful servant.
David Spoon:Until we meet again.
David Spoon:Right?
David Spoon:That's our brother Ace.
David Spoon:Many people shared with Ace their lives and the blessing of his life was connected to them.
David Spoon:And it's very, very powerful.
David Spoon:It's very cool.
David Spoon:We got to be a part of that blessing.
David Spoon:We got to be a part of his life and his blessing on earth.
David Spoon:And we thank God for his graciousness in allowing us to be brothers with our brother Ace.
David Spoon:And we look forward and I think of him and I know he's going to think I'm kind of crazy, but just like Pastor Ray, one of my best friends, and Pastor Ray's up there and if I know Pastor Ray, he's standing firm in his eschatology and brother Acer up there.
David Spoon:And I'm just so blessed that I had any chance at all to even touch base with either of these two people.
David Spoon:They are phenomenal people of God and we are phenomenally blessed to have connected with them.
David Spoon:So thank you, Lord God, for giving us brother Ace and blessing us with his heart, with his spirit.
David Spoon:What a great gift you gave us in our contact with him.
David Spoon:We thank you, Lord God Almighty, for your gift of our brother.
David Spoon:We thank you in Jesus name, Amen and Amen.
David Spoon:Okay.
David Spoon:All right, so we got a lot to do and a lot to cover, so just bear with me.
David Spoon:You're just going to have to put up with certain things.
David Spoon:It's just the way today is.
David Spoon:And I don't really care because why?
David Spoon:Because it's my birthday, so I don't care.
David Spoon:How about that?
David Spoon:I don't care.

David Spoon:What was Jacob's name changed to?
David Spoon:Okay.
David Spoon: Genesis: David Spoon: Genesis: David Spoon: cob's name changed to Genesis: David Spoon:That is the trivia question.
David Spoon:By the way.
David Spoon:Yesterday I was going to reply to all the texts and then believe it or not, I really got this impression from the Lord, told me, just don't do anything.
David Spoon:And I didn't.
David Spoon:And so I actually texted Aunt Deb and said, I don't know why, but to obey is better than sacrifice.
David Spoon:So I just responded, so if the Lord tells me not to do something, I could be wrong.
David Spoon:So don't get weird on me.
David Spoon:We're all trying to follow the leading of the Lord.
David Spoon:So in that situation, I just felt like got that sense.
David Spoon:The Lord said, don't do anything, don't do anything.
David Spoon:And I didn't.
David Spoon:And if that ever happens, I'm going to do what the Lord says because I love you guys, but I love Jesus more.
David Spoon:I still love you.
David Spoon:I just love Jesus more and want to do the best I can before him.
David Spoon:Okay, all right, so what was Jacob's name changed to?

David Spoon:I'd love you all to read Philippians 4:14 where Paul, not me, Paul, said, I want you to join with me in my affliction.
David Spoon:And he talks about the asking for money as an affliction.
David Spoon:I fully understand that as of today, that was a nice birthday present from the Lord for me because I hate asking for money.
David Spoon:But we know we need money to run the ministry.
David Spoon:So do what you can, do the best you can, and that's all we can ask of you.

David Spoon:Hi, Cordelia.
David Spoon:How are you?
Speaker D:Fine, thank you.
David Spoon:It's so great to hear your voice.
David Spoon:It's such a blessing to hear you.
David Spoon:You are such a blessing, and we just appreciate you very much.

David Spoon:What can we pray for you about?
Speaker D:Okay, first of all, yeah, I'm in a different house.
Speaker D:I'm country club and renting out from Jonathan and Christy.
Speaker D:And I just need prayer for, you know, they're going through a rough time and, you know, there's, you know, trouble with their renting part and stuff.
Speaker D:I'm praying.
Speaker D:I wanted you to pray that it will work out, that the process about it will go good and that they won't have an argument over, you know, how long I should stay or how it should be, you know, the process.
David Spoon:Gotcha.
David Spoon:And that's Jonathan and Christy, is that right?
Speaker D:Yeah, Jonathan and Christy.
Speaker D:And I do.
Speaker D:Like.
Speaker D:I am so happy that Joy got the Velasco house because I've been praying and asking Stan for us to move into it long ago, and he kept saying no.
Speaker D:So the door has finally opened for her.
Speaker D:But I also like this house, too, and I like to go back and forth, but I want Joy to be able to come here, too, at times.
Speaker D:And there's, like, a little problem between what happened between her and Christie.
Speaker D:And so, you know, I want there to be unity again and friends, you know, again, you know.
Speaker D:So please pray for that relationship.
David Spoon:Let's do it right now.
David Spoon:Let's do it.
David Spoon:Thank you, Father.
David Spoon:We come before you right now.
David Spoon:I thank you right now for Cordelia, and I just ask you to bless her.
David Spoon:And, Lord, she's lifting up Jonathan and Christy to you, and she's just praying for them to have a peace.
David Spoon:There'd be a simplicity.
David Spoon:There'd be less tension, there'd be less confusion, less frustration.
David Spoon:Lord, you teach us that when a man's ways please you, you make even the enemies to be at peace.
David Spoon:It's not that these are enemies, but we're just asking you to bring a peace in the situation that the enemy is using against them.
David Spoon:We ask you for grace.
David Spoon:We ask you for the ability for freedom between back and forth.
David Spoon:We ask you for your kindness and that both Joy Ann and Cordelia would have a freedom together to be able to engage with each other and not have any care or any restriction or anything hanging over their head.
David Spoon:What we're basically asking you to do, Lord, is just create the pathway of peace between these homes and between this family.
David Spoon:And that the frustration, the irritation and all of these other things would lose their power because the power of the Holy Spirit would change what is taking place.
David Spoon:We're asking you to do it, Lord.
David Spoon:We know we can't, but we know you can.
David Spoon:And we're not praying for anything but to follow your steps.
David Spoon:Write in your word.
David Spoon:Blessed are the peacemakers.
David Spoon:And we ask you to bring peace and use the prayers of Joanne and Cordelia and her passion and her intercession as she approaches you.
David Spoon:Answer her prayers with a yes and bless her in that process.
David Spoon:And Lord, we thank you for her and we thank you for her courage and her willingness.
David Spoon:And we lift her up before you and ask grace upon grace in this situation.
David Spoon:In Jesus name, amen and amen.
Speaker D:Amen.
Speaker D:Thank you so much.
Speaker D:Could I just give a little praise report, too?
David Spoon:Yep.
Speaker D:We have somebody to help us move and give us a U haul.
Speaker D:And then my brother helped gave $1,000 to help Joy move her stuff out.
Speaker D:And it's just such a blessing and it just takes a great big burden off me.
Speaker D:I'm not moving my stuff out now.
Speaker D:But she's being able to move her stuff because she's going to have somebody provided U haul and they're going to help us.
Speaker D:Isn't that great?
David Spoon:Awesome.

David Spoon:Cowpunchsites.com dad, what is the David Spoon experience?
David Spoon:Now, I want to pull this out of Jude.
David Spoon:Jude only has one chapter.
David Spoon:Jude is the letter before the book of Revelation.
David Spoon:Revelation, singular.
David Spoon:It's the last letter before the book of Revelation.
David Spoon:And this is what it says in verses 17 through 19.
David Spoon:I want you to listen to this, and then I want you to think about today, all the stuff that's going on.
David Spoon:I'm not going to go overly political.
David Spoon:I want you just to consider the landscaping that we're all living in right now, the landscape of society.
David Spoon:It says this, but you must remember, beloved, that the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, they said to you in the last times, there will be scoffers following their own ungodly passions.
David Spoon:It is these who cause divisions.
David Spoon:Worldly people devoid of the Holy Spirit.
David Spoon:Now listen to that.
David Spoon:This is a prophecy that is being brought up by Jude, who is a brother to Jesus, won't even identify himself that way.
David Spoon:Brother to James, who was in charge of the church after the James of Peter.
David Spoon:James John died in Acts 12, in Acts 15, the other James kind of ascends to the position of power, so to speak.
David Spoon:And he's not in charge of everybody.
David Spoon:He's just kind of leading the show.
David Spoon:And like Peter did in the early church.
David Spoon:And this is Jude, his brother and the brother of Jesus.
David Spoon:And he's telling you got to remember what the apostles said, the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
David Spoon:He's so humble when he writes that.
