The David Spoon Experience Part 2 6-2-2022
This 60-minutes is all about: 1) Stubborn people. This has been a definition of people from the earliest days of God developing a nation through Abraham. But God demonstrates His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us even though we are stubborn. Even though our stubbornness makes us more like the heathen in our hearts. And even though we purposely become deaf to the truth. Ouch. 2) Stephen then drops the microphone on his listeners. He challenges them with a phrase that too many people skip by: He states, Must you forever resist the Holy Spirit? The irony for people who don’t see the Holy Spirit as God is right here. After Stephen accuses his listeners, they freak out because he just told them they are rebellious and resisting the Holy Spirit. And the people lose their cookies. If the Holy Spirit isn’t Gid, why freak out? He also identifies the Trinity in this portion. 3) Just to be like Stephen, in this one moment in our lives. Under attack, he has a fixed vision and is subject to the crowd’s fury. His fixed vision is in Heaven. If we look for the incredible proof that a person is filled with the Holy Spirit, looking to Heaven and seeing Jesus would be the key.
