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.
