The David Spoon Experience 12-8-23 part 2 (SHOW 1200)

1) I've mentioned this before, but it's worth repeating. Sometimes, you'll hear me use sayings or phrases that originate from less-than-excellent sources. For those who find this offensive, my response is simple: get over it. The first topic we're going to cover is called "Project Getter Er Done." The primary goal of most teachings is to help people draw closer to the Lord. As people draw closer to the Lord, they reflect His image more. But sometimes, instead of merely saying, "You can do it," you have to assertively "Just do it."

2) Another timeless piece by my friend, Pastor Ray Bentley, who is happier than I am. Ray discusses the power of compassion. I miss Ray and our conversations. No, we can't communicate with the saints as that's not scriptural. However, we can recognize that the departed saints are doing awesome. To depart and be with Christ is far better. In the meantime, Ray continues to teach us all. What we discover is that compassion releases the power of the Holy Spirit.

3) The Lord's blessings are incredible. We love how He pours out grace, mercy, kindness, compassion, and generosity from one blessing to another. This aspect of faith is amazing. However, there's a part of faith that we operate in that's not so incredible. After receiving massive blessings from the Lord in certain areas, we sometimes anticipate something far worse coming behind that. In other words, we live in a mindset of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Guess what? That's a sin.

4) As we close out this week's shows, we take a clue from King Hezekiah. We discover that the very things Hezekiah shared with the people strengthened them and boosted their confidence. What could be more powerful than heading into the weekend strengthened in our confidence by words of wisdom? We taught part of this scripture last week under the title "To Do and Not To Do". But the next portion of the verse is the secret sauce I want you to hear. It's what we need to remember in every encounter. We will examine it and rejoice because of it.
