The David Spoon Experience 3-29-23 Part 1

A) No king, army, mighty man, or horse. I know we are a superpower. Maybe not where we were. Maybe so. But when we, as a nation, think it is our “own” might, then that is not right. Might makes right if it’s in God’s light. And the reality is that God killed everyone on the planet. So in terms of actual superpower, let every human being take an appropriate pause.

B) His eye is on 1) Those who fear Him. 2) Those who hope in His mercy. Here is the key to grasping this: power, safety, preservation, deliverance, and overcoming are ALL (as in ALL) in the hands of the Lord.

C) During famine: But Dave, preachers and teachers tell me that I am supposed to include prosperity and wealth to give people a reason to follow Jesus. WRONG JESUS. WRONG GOSPEL. God promises to “keep us alive" during a famine. Not give us six cars and a fleet of planes.

D) Jeremiah 45:5 states, Are you seeking great things for yourself? Don’t do it! I will bring great disaster upon all these people, but I will give you your life as a reward wherever you go. I, the LORD, have spoken!’”
