06-22-2026 PART 3: God's Direction in Everyday Life

Section 1

Eliezer's prayer at the well begins with an important acknowledgment of the God whom he had watched working through Abraham's life for many years. Having witnessed miracle after miracle, he understood that Abraham's relationship with God was genuine and powerful. Dr. Dave uses this moment to explain why believers today pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Just as Eliezer approached the God he knew through Abraham, Christians approach the Father through the One whom God has established as the perfect mediator. The lesson emphasizes that Jesus alone provides access to God and remains the only name through which believers confidently approach the throne of grace.

Section 2

A fascinating request unfolds as Eliezer asks God for a remarkably specific confirmation regarding the woman chosen for Isaac. Rather than seeking personal gain or attempting to manipulate circumstances, he simply desires assurance that he is following God's direction correctly. Dr. Dave challenges the notion that believers should never ask God for confirmation, pointing to both Eliezer and Gideon as biblical examples of people seeking guidance from the Lord. The emphasis remains on the motive behind the request. Eliezer is not trying to control God; he is seeking wisdom and confidence so he can faithfully carry out the assignment entrusted to him.

Section 3

Behind the entire encounter stands the sovereign hand of God orchestrating events long before either Eliezer or Rebekah fully understood what was happening. While Eliezer prayed and sought direction, God was simultaneously guiding Rebekah toward the same divine appointment. Dr. Dave highlights the beauty of God's coordination, noting that the Lord brings people, circumstances, and opportunities together according to His purposes. The final encouragement reminds listeners that God continues to direct the lives of His children today. Just as He guided Eliezer to the right place at the right time, He remains actively involved in leading, arranging, and coordinating the details of life for those who trust Him.

David Spoon

David Spoon was born and raised in a Jewish home in Detroit, Michigan. He attended a private Hebrew school called Hillel Hebrew Academy. David was bar mitzvah-ed at the age of thirteen. Not long after, he was involved in drug abuse and trafficking. After hearing the Gospel for the first time at age seventeen, David accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. A few months later, David had a dramatic experience with God. Immediately set free from years of excessive drug use, he committed himself to ministry and to furthering the Kingdom of God.

He attended Arizona Bible College, Northern Arizona University, and Life Pacific College, graduating summa-cum-laude in their Ministry and Leadership program. He also graduated with honors from Regent University with a master’s degree in Theological Studies and earned his Doctor of Ministry degree in Strategic Christian Ministry at Liberty University.

He is one of a few individuals holding ministerial ordinations from three separate denominations: Heritage Free Baptist Organization, 1981; Independent Pentecostal Ministers Association, 1985; and Vineyard Valley Association, 1988. He was also the Chaplain for the Flagstaff Police Department. In addition, David was the senior pastor of Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Flagstaff.

In addition, David started and co-hosted two different live Christian call-in radio talk shows. He hosted the very popular radio show “The David Spoon Experience” on KPRZ 1210 and a show called “To Know Him,” which aired on 88.9 on the F.M. dial-in Temecula, California at 1:00 p.m., Monday through Fridays. He was also the Director of Local Ministry for Salem Media Group in San Diego, California.

David is married to his best friend, Noelle. He has three children and seven grandchildren, plus their two dogs named Levi and Bert. On March 18th, 2019, he started “The David Spoon Experience” in Texas and is growing with his audience of awesome believers and non-believers alike.

He is the President of He Must Increase Ministry, a 501c3 ministry, and is hosting (again) the live daily radio show “The David Spoon Experience” with DJR Broadcasting in KAAM, on the 770 A.M. radio dial. The show is also on various apps and the Internet.

David is a Jewish-Christian, Bapti-Costal, Cal-Minian, Manifold Millennialist.

Just ask him.
