06-26-2025 part 3: The Cost of Rejection and the Call to Intercession

Section One

This final segment opens with a caller named Charles, who has been a long-time listener and expresses concern about the transition from KAAM 770 to the new HMIM Radio format. David Spoon explains that due to financial constraints, the ministry could not continue on AM radio and opted for internet broadcasting through HMIRadio.org. He reassures listeners that the show is still live and accessible in multiple ways and offers guidance on how to continue tuning in. Charles then correctly answers the trivia question—what do you call someone who dies for their faith?—with “martyr,” prompting encouragement and connection. The tone reflects a strong blend of ministry commitment, listener loyalty, and adaptation to change.

Section Two

The teaching continues in 2 Thessalonians with a sobering message about those who will suffer eternal destruction for not knowing or obeying the gospel. David emphasizes that there are two distinct groups: those unaware of God, and those who consciously reject Him. This leads to a personal reflection about resistance in his early faith journey and a powerful dream in which the Lord called him to full surrender. He urges believers to recognize that no area of their lives should be off-limits to God. The reality of hell—described as eternal separation from God's presence—is not downplayed but presented with deep compassion. David uses this doctrine not to frighten, but to awaken urgency for prayer and evangelism.

Section Three

The final stretch underscores the emotional and spiritual consequences of eternal separation from God. David asks listeners to reflect on all the moments when God has comforted, guided, and spoken to them—and then imagine eternity without any of that. Hell, in this teaching, is not fire and brimstone caricature—it’s the absence of God’s peace, mercy, and presence. This leads to an impassioned plea for believers to recommit to praying for their lost loved ones. Even flawed witness or inadequate evangelism can still be used by God to plant seeds. The message closes in prayer, asking God to reignite urgency and hope for intercession. David reminds us that while salvation is God’s work, our prayers can shake the heavens and change eternal outcomes.

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.
