The Great Commission - Part 1

I want to reflect on what has been happening the last few weeks. More than a thought it's a rambling and a personal call to pray, to stand, to have courage.

"Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

Charlie Kirk was assassinated.  I really don"t want to get into the facts and details as I am sure you have heard them already.  Personally, I found it interesting that if you reread my thoughts you will note that Charlie Kirk is the only person I have named.  I am sure this was prophetic in some way, but I missed it.

I never met Charlie Kirk, and didn't know anything about his personal life and didnt even know he had a podcast.  I did watch his videos and his preachings when he visited churches around the country.  And yet, the moment I found out he had been shot, I knew he would go to be with Jesus, and a terrible sense of mourning came over me.  I didn't cry that much when I lost my dad four years ago or when my mom passed two years ago.  I cried for three days non-stop.  I felt it was a spiritual mourning, it wasn't natural or normal for me.  I wasn't crying for Charlie because I know he is perfectly happy in the presence of Jesus. "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." 2 Corinthians 5:8.

I think I was crying over the loss of such an impactful voice in this dark, confused world in need of truth.  You see, I didn't see Charlie as a conservative activist, I thought of Charlie as a Christian apologist, bringing truth and standing for the salvation of a generation of young people, and in so doing, our Nation.

Since that day, we have seen what I pray is an awakening and revival not only in the US, but around the world.  Bibles are being sold.  People are returning to church, many going for the first time.  My social media is full of young people proclaiming the Gospel.  Hallelujah. 

I am excited and overjoyed to see what the Lord is doing..  

"One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate."  Psalm 145:4-5

And yet, in the midst of all these wonderful things happening, the conspiracies, theories and lies try to take our attention away to drag us down a dark path, because that's what the enemy does.

"Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil." 2 Timothy 2:23-24.

Also, as Charlie Kirk's work continues I have noticed several of the new people involved are not born again Christian apologists but only conservatives joining a movement, not answering the call and command from Jesus to go onto the World and make disciples. Matthew 28:19

I ask you today, please get involved.  Fast and pray that as Charlie Kirk loved Jesus, so will all the people involved now in his ministry, that they will be radically saved, born again, and called to follow the Great commission.
