Standing Up No Matter What

Just Give Me Jesus

grain of wheat

Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. [Jn 12:24]

I have been silent for a while because I have been working quietly in the background, searching through archived articles to complete a series that I began a year ago. I posted perhaps five or so articles in the series, then got majorly distracted. The Lord has been preparing me for something which I hope to share in the near future, but not right now.

Grieved deep within, and tense emotions; that is what I was feeling, but likely not for the reason most folks might automatically think, given the buzz that is going around the entire world right now. Thank God for Jesus, who sent the precious Holy Spirit to us just as He promised.

One of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is self-control, and frankly, it has not always been a strong point of mine. Past lifelong trauma, as well as a lack of trusting God also in the past (most of my life, sadly) contributed to a ‘high-strung’ [inability to relax] disposition. 

Nevertheless, the Lord has been doing some amazing work and incredible changes have taken place. I do give Him all the glory. he does this with all of us. He is astounding, beyond words!

The Lord is good to all: and His tender mercies are over all His works. All Your works shall praise You, O Yahweh; and Your saints shall bless You. They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, and talk of Your power [Ps 145:9-11]

For over a week, the world has been inundated with the news of Charlie Kirk –social media platforms, newsfeeds in emails, videos, radio. It is always the same. Whenever something happens to someone well-known, or something catastrophic occurs, the repetition from every source, both online and off, becomes overwhelming.  

Sexual scandals, immigration troubles, catastrophic floods, fires, earthquakes, it is almost nonstop these days. The number of people being shot has become astronomical. The divide in society is so obvious – a cold, harsh split. Those who mock, cuss, hate, and worse, versus those who have the very heart and compassion as that of the Creator.

It seems that everyone on YouTube, whether secular or Christian, have been posting about Charlie Kirk. I had seen the man’s picture and perhaps heard his name once (pushing the number, but perhaps? twice) before he was murdered, but in truth, I knew nothing about him before that.

Bless the Widow and the Children

Erika, Charlie's widow 
and children

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. [Ps 116:15]

I had no intention of jumping on the bandwagon but I am grieved in my spirit over people using the death of a man to promote themselves. As stated, Charlie Kirk was not someone I knew before, as I am not a political person. Neither am I someone in a faculty or a student on any campus. He did not know me either. It is a world with over eight billion souls.

There are people mocking him and his family, as if God does not care, laughing because of one of the casings found, which said, “Hey, fascist. Catch!”

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore, you are of more value than many sparrows. [Mat 10:30-31]

I have every confidence that the brave, young widow of Charlie Kirk will be surrounded by supportive, loving people. But the fact that she knows Jesus, He will be Erika’s strength, her courage, her everything. He will comfort her with the peace that passes all understanding.

Those of us who love Jesus/Yeshua, who love God with all their heart, soul, mind, and being will be lifting Erika, her children up, as well as all those who were close to Charlie Kirk - prayers. The love that blankets these prayers is like a sweet incense that goes up before the heavenly throne of God.

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to kill both soul and body in hell. [Mat 10:28]

Woe to the murderer and the mockers unless they repent.

The false prophets are flooding the internet like a tsunami. For a few years now [perhaps four? – I am not 100% sure] I have been shocked, then sickened by the volume of wolves (wolverines) parading around on social media. Almost every single one had things figured out.

Today's People Are NOT Bible Characters

We are NOT the people in the Bible. Trump is not God’s “David”, as Julie Green constantly says.

Now there is Amanda Grace, who obviously watched a video seen by hundreds of thousands, after three churches posted an AI-generated video that show Charlie Kirk telling people to "pick up their cross and get back in the fight."

The video shows the "generated Kirk" with Bible characters, apostles Paul, Andrew and Peter, as well as the first martyr ever killed, Stephen, who was stoned to death. He is also seen with famous presidents who were assassinated.

Kirk is featured along with Martin Luther King Jr, J.F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln and even Jesus Christ. He has become like an idol  to some, and these pastors encourage "talking with" or "listening to the dead". Necromancy. People says that it is harmless, like good witch bad 

Charlie Kirk is NOT Stephen from the book of Acts. J.D. Vance is NOT the apostle James, and Pete Hegseth is NOT the apostle Peter. Just because the self-proclaimed prophets are “playing characters” or “playing a part”, does not mean that everyone else is.

If that were not enough, apparently Charlie Kirk is show with Zarutska, the young woman who was mercilessly stabbed on a bus. Kirk holds her whilst they both flap angel wings.

If that were not enough, Israel had to brought into it, with Kirk stating: "I'm in a better place now, but America and Israel will never be the same." 

As for me, I did not watch the videos because to me it is placing a man as an idol, putting him up with the imagery of presidents, and martyred bible characters, and having him speak from a 'place of the dead' is just wrong.

All the information I put here comes from a Yahoo news article: Source: news.yahoo.com

I must say, and it is my personal opinion only, but how would it make his widow feel to see her husband Charlie Kirk in AI-generated videos? Why put Kirk alongside famous presidents or compare today's people with people in the Bible (to put them as equal when no two lives are the same) and each life is precious to Jesus. 

God made us uniquely. We support each other when we have similar things happen to us where we can relate, or be a comfort due to our understanding. But the best thing we can do for anyone is pray because it is God, and God alone, who has the wisdom and knows exactly what is best for each one of us.

He knows the names of every star. Can you imagine? As I have repeatedly said over the past twenty years. Us trying to understand God and know what He will do in His wisdom is like an ant trying to understand us and know what we will do.

Plagiarism, copycat work, competition – just stop! Pray and thank God that we are ALL individuals, not carbon copies (pick your favourite Bible character).

The other thing that gets me is these prophets think they are the only ones who have heard others – it is so easy to tell that most of them are copying the messages others have spoken. They just wrap it up in different wrapping. There are some good podcasters out there. I hope to see a few videos…may God bless the true brethren who are simply obeying God, and not compete with anyone.

Charlie Kirk was Simply Charlie Kirk

Charles Kirk was not resurrected

He was a man who was loved by a faithful wife, who respected him and bore two of his children, a boy and a girl. He was known around college and university campuses because he liked to debate. He started an organization called, Turning Point. That is about all I know.

I hope to post again by Monday, but I am working on setting up audio. With this pain, I cannot sit as long anymore, and have to make some changes. Prayer has gone up to the Lord – if He wanted me to step down, or take me home to be with Him, or what – I am completely surrendered to Him the best way I know how.

Pray – back in 2012, when the Lord said, “Now it begins…”

He also spoke of the “clash of the kingdoms” [here on earth; Satan vs mankind, Christians] and “great division”…but His plans are for the good, not like Satan or the world, which only plan for the bad. Keep pressing in, clinging like grapes to the Vine. Open the Word. The Lord speaks to His people…Keep listening my friends.

Keep listening, praying (and thanking Jesus in those whispering sighs), Keep on the armour; read the Word, which is our sword.

Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty; who was, and is, and is to come. Hallelujah!

for His glory
