08-22-2025 PART 1: Led by the Spirit When Everything Clicks—and When It Doesn’t

Section 1

Sergio calls in after a while, and David warmly celebrates the reconnect, even joking about “work” being a four‑letter word. David notes the show is now live on YouTube, Rumble, and LinkedIn, and Sergio shares he’s begun reading 1 Samuel after finishing Ruth. The heart of Sergio’s question: when everything at work lined up perfectly, was that just coincidence or was God’s presence there? David affirms Sergio is more Spirit‑led than he realizes and preps to answer on air. Sergio signs off with brotherly love, football-season excitement, and gratitude. David clarifies to listeners he wasn’t guilting Sergio—just blessed by the call—and transitions to address the deeper issue Sergio raised about recognizing God’s hand in life’s “everything just worked” moments.

Section 2

David teaches that smooth, “string‑perfect” moments aren’t flukes or cosmic alignment—they’re gifts from God in God’s universe. The Holy Spirit indwells believers, and life will contain both seamless highs and difficult lows. Favor isn’t measured by outcomes; Jesus was fully in God’s will even amid storms, then calmed the wind and waves. God’s presence is universal, yet sometimes it’s manifest in ways we sense more readily—especially when things flow. In hard seasons, faith must lean in more deeply to trust He’s no less present. So, when blessings flow, enjoy them; receive them as encouragement and strengthening. Joy, not mere happiness, is found in the Lord’s presence, and part of Christian maturity is learning to savor the sweet without suspicion and to trust through the bitter without despair.

Section 3

Christians often oversimplify: good equals God, bad equals Satan. Scripture corrects this—Job acknowledged receiving both good and trouble from the Lord, and his error was self‑justification, not God’s. David shares a recent broadcast audio problem: instead of pouting, he stayed tenacious and the Lord showed him the fix—an illustration of perseverance under God’s guidance. Sabbath rest exists for our blessing; likewise, smooth days should be gratefully embraced. In hard days, give thanks in all things, trusting God to weave even pain into good. He never abandons His people; He is purposeful in everything He allows. So, rejoice when it clicks, stand firm when it doesn’t, and keep acknowledging Him—He will direct your paths.

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.
