The David Spoon Experience 8-2-24 part 2

1) It's another "nobody can figure out what's gonna happen—God's in charge" episode of The David Spoon Experience. Roslyn calls in to share some deep concerns as she tries to let go of things that are holding her back. She expresses the frustration that many believers encounter and just wants to be free from the oppression.

2) The biggest challenge is that the enemy keeps throwing "if onlys" at her, plus, he's continually challenging God's truth, making declarations that God is trying to do her wrong. Imaginations, challenges of doubt, and outright lies come from only one source—the father of lies, which is Satan, specifically according to John chapter eight, verse 44.

3) David takes some time to talk to Roslyn and reassures her of her legitimacy as a child of the Most High God. He emphasizes the importance of letting go of what's holding her back, moving forward to what lies ahead, and trusting God, knowing that He only has her best interests in mind. Sometimes the best answer is to cast it into God's hands and say, "It's up to You."

4) Finally, the closing devotional diamond focuses on the importance of our words. Perhaps you use lip balm to prevent your lips from drying out. There's another way to ensure your words remain fresh: make sure the words you speak honor the Lord. When you offer praise to God, He considers it a form of gratitude "payment." While it will never be enough to repay Him for everything, it is certainly the right gesture to present before Him.
