The David Spoon Experience 9-8-22 Part 2

1) God speaks to Ananias. But Dave, God doesn’t speak to people. However, he does communicate with people often and in multiple ways. If you are not sure, just check your own life. But too often, we think it just thundered. But in this case, he gets downright detal-ish with Ananias. Praying now (present), showing a vision (past) so that he can (future); These are three different time strains in one discussion. God always was, always is, and always will be. 2) “But Lord.” That’s right, get over it. From the days of Adam through the New Testament, God has given instructions, and people have responded, “But Lord.” Just like you and me. By the way, Ananias isn’t wondering if this actually “is” God because God gave him all the necessary proof. “This is the guy, what he is doing, and what I have shown him. And you are the dude he is waiting for.” 3) Ananias informs (O.K., that is a joke) God that he has heard and hears things. Especially about this guy. This guy, God, in case You didn’t know, is against Your people. He has an ax to grind, and it’s against us who follow You. So here is God’s logical and practical advice to Ananias. Our advice is “Go…and do what I say.” And God’s people say…YES, LORD!
