Diminishing Returns or Divine Blessings? [podcast]
The Reason Your Bag has Holes in it [podcast]
Our diminishing returns could be due to our refusal to put God first which would mean we are putting His work, His agenda, His stated mission – the Great Commission.
“The beginning of Haggai’s prophecy finds Israel returning to the land after 70 years under Babylonian oppression (God’s punishment for the sins of Israel’s leaders). Now, a new and younger generation of God’s people are working to rebuild God’s earthly dwelling place, the temple. Long before Haggai’s prophetic ministry, God had promised that when his own presence dwelled among his people, the life-giving power of God would flow from him into their land (Deut. 28:1-14, Haggai 1:1-4). So, in hopes of experiencing God’s promises after a long season of exile, the people begin to rebuild.
Unfortunately, the temple rebuilders quickly become distracted from the project at hand. They stop working on the temple to build their own houses (Hag. 1:1-4). Meeting their immediate needs takes priority over rebuilding God’s temple. But this priority doesn’t work out well for them in the end. Haggai points out that no matter how much they sow in their fields, the returned exiles are reaping less and less. Every day, their rations get thinner, and they feel just a little thirstier (Hag. 1:5-6). Haggai says their diminishing returns are a result of their failure to prioritize rebuilding the temple, the place of God’s presence (Hag. 1:10-11). But he also promises that if they recommit themselves to the temple project, all the blessings and life they hope for will return (Hag. 2:7-8, 18-19). This new generation listens to Haggai and starts making plans for the project’s next phase.”
The rebuilding of the temple in the days of Haggai the prophet is equivalent to the Great Commission work Christ sent us, His “ambassadors” to accomplish as we look for His soon return (2 Corinthians 5:20).
Who is it that gives men the “power to get wealth”? The LORD. Why does He do such? – “that he may establish his covenant.” (Deuteronomy 8:18)
“And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. 18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. 19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. 20 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.” Deuteronomy 8:17-20
Does God still keep His Word to bless those who put Him first with what He grants them the ability to bring in?
If a person chooses to repent of poor stewardship and conform to God’s Word, will the LORD not give that person grace to do the impossible? (Proverbs 3:9-10; Mark 10:27) Are you on your own with your finances? Or, are you dying to human reasoning and excuses and simply obeying the LORD? When we do simply obey Him, we can expect that He will undertake the cause and begin to do things that are miraculous. We see this throughout history, especially as recorded in Holy Writ. Remember the widow who had only a handful of food left to feed herself and her son? Remember who when she obeying the LORD that she was abundantly blessed? (1 Kings 17:10-16) The fact that some wolves have utilized this passage to garner gains for themselves, in no way negates the divine authority in and of this passage of truth. Will the LORD still bless? Has He changed or is our sin hindering His blessings? (Isaiah 59:1-2; Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:9)
“Ye looked for much, and, lo it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.” Haggai 1:9
The people of God were experiencing diminishing returns due to their refusal to simply put God first in their finances. The LORD blew on their finances and scattered them because they were not putting His work first. Read Haggai 1. It’s a very revealing chapter.
The LORD’s Plan to Feed, Protect, and Bless His Saints and to Spread His Good News
It’s interesting and telling to compare the distribution of goods/resources/funds among the earliest believers and the way things are done today. Read Acts 2:44-45; 4:32-35. Today, as was so often foretold, the merchandising wolves are living ‘high off the hog’ when the Bible clearly instructs leaders never to “greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.”(Deuteronomy 17:17)
Of course, the Bible teaches that those whom God has called out are to be provided for (1 Cor. 9:1-14; 1 Tim. 5:17-18) and yet, today we have lavish wolves flaunting their multi-million dollar homes in gated communities (insulated from the little guys/the poor). This has nothing to do with and blatantly contradicts the lifestyles of Jesus and His holy apostles. This makes you wonder if those who enable these wolves have even read the Gospels! A second grader knows this is wrong.
Most of us have funded wolves only later to see the light of their greed later. So, should we stop obeying God by giving to further His work? Is it time we understand the LORD’s balance in these things?
Does the Almighty have or need American money in Heaven? No.
The LORD has a plan and following that plan (instead of our own) will result in glorifying Him and seeing many blessed.
***The true disciple of Jesus is not looking for the next trinket to waste his money on, but rather is about His Father’s business of putting that money toward God’s eternal kingdom! (Matthew 6:19-24)
Some who are greedy in heart, serving the god of mammon, do not like biblical teachings on stewardship. They will lash out against the messenger, when those demons that control them are enraged. There are more than 2,500 verses on stewardship in God’s Word and over half of Jesus parables are on stewardship so anyone endeavoring to disclose/teach the full counsel of God cannot dodge that topic.
Many today who name Christ as their Savior are saying in their hearts: “I have more important things to fund than YOUR work LORD! After all, the things in my life, to make me feel more comfortable in this fleeting world, are very important. Jesus, please don’t bother me any more concerning funding YOUR work. I have vacations to go on. I have to get a bigger, nicer car so that I, I, I, look better to mere men. I HAVE to run out and see the newest movies, buy the latest fashions, subscribe to magazines from the world to help me me me be in the know, eat out 20 times monthly, put more money in the bank for MY security, get a bigger house to make myself feel better …”
Which World are You Rich In?
“There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.” Proverbs 13:7
Praise God for those who give to the work of Christ! It is regrettable though that many of those who see God’s work and receive of Him through it as they see those workers of the LORD doing HIS work, do not contribute and do not agree with God that HIS workers “ARE worthy”of financial reward so they can be sustained and furthered in doing HIS HIS HIS work. Many are saying with their inaction that Christ’s workers are NOT worthy of their hire. They are saying “LORD, I know You said that Your servants ARE due financial reward so they can keep doing YOUR work, but I am too busy to take a moment to help, I am too strapped financially, after all, I have the cable TV bill to pay, I have to pay my mortgage, my rent, for food, daily coffee, golf, and for many other essential things. I really don’t think that Your work is important. Winning souls to Your eternal kingdom for who You bled and rose again is not important to me. I am too busy being entrenched in and loving this present sinful world. So, Your kingdom, Your work, and Your people will have to wait till I have so much money that I can keep doing these important things that are important to ME in this life and also throw a token tip your way.”
When is the last time you read 1 Corinthians 9:1-14 and 1 Timothy 5:17-18? Do you know what the LORD is teaching us in these important passages? How can we expect to be blessed of Him if we ignore His instructions?
It is clear that God will bless those who agree with Him – in heart, mind, and in action. We will find amazing, supernatural blessings in our lives if we will put Jesus “first” in our stewardship, in our finances (Matthew 6:33; 2 Corinthians 9:6-11; Proverbs 3:10-11). Did He not promise to bless us if we put Him first which means putting His work as a top priority?
The “double honour” financial reward is due to called out Gospel workers and that’s the instruction of the One who has called out and set those workers apart to do (1 Timothy 5:17-18). That money should be there and that’s why God says that those who labor in His Word – learning and feeding His sheep – are to receive “double honour” so that they do not have to be interrupted in doing HIS work.
Jesus says that what we do with our monies is a direct reflection of who we truly love, worship, and serve – self or the Savior. “For where your treasure is THERE will your heart be also.” (Matthew 6:19-24)
Who has God put in your life to feed you HIS Word? What does the Bible say to do to those who feed you God’s Word? (Galatians 6:6)
Is God calling you to get into agreement with His revealed mind? Is He calling you to count His work as a high priority in your life? Will He not open His windows of blessings upon your life? (Proverbs 3:9-10; 2 Corinthians 9:6-11) Will His kingdom blessings now be added to your life if you truly and practically put Him first? (Matthew 6:33) Will your barns not be “filled with plenty”?
“Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.” Proverbs 3:9-10
If you are upset, I am sorry. I sure hope this never has to be said again other than in the general teaching of the full-counsel of God which includes the important topic of stewardship.
“But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: 9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. 10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) 11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.” 2 Corinthians 9:6-11
Do you begin to realize what is at stake here? Do we begin to understand the implications of sinful omission? Do we begin to realize what great rewards we are forfeiting?
Aren’t the bank accounts that are connected to the work of the LORD worthy to be filled in order to supply for His work to be done?
Are you doing your part to fund those who are truly fulfilling a New Testament purpose?
Is the feeding of the LORD’s people important to you? Do unreached precious souls for whom Christ bled and rose again matter?
Jesus says “Feed my sheep.” (John 21:15-17) Are you personally interested in Christ and His sheep? Are you concerned that His sheep will be fed (nourished) and that more souls will be won to Him before it’s too late? What work or labor in this fleeting, sinful world could possibly be more important than that of the LORD’s business? Are you prayer for His laborers and supporting the work of Jesus? (Matthew 9:35-38)
Do we fit into that last day’s prophetic category of those who have a mere “form of godliness” yet deny the power, the divine authority of God to reign in our daily lives? Are we “lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God” and are we those who are “lovers of their own selves, covetous …”? May the LORD rebuke and change us now! (2 Timothy 3:1-8)
God is able!

Another False Rapture Date [video]
by Glenn and Dezi Langohr
For months we’ve been warning that the Pretrib Rapture is a hive-mind delusion — just like the lies of “false trips to heaven” and the “false Trump prophets” . These movements feed each other, creating a spiritual frenzy not rooted in God’s Word. Sadly, the false Trump prophets already gave mainstream media plenty of material to mock. Remember Paula White calling for “angels from Africa” to come help Donald Trump win the election? The world laughed — and now the same is happening with failed rapture dates.
Jesus said to endure to the end as part of salvation by following Him and not falling away. He warned about children of the devil who cannot hear His words, and about the increase of false prophets and false anointed in the last days. Paul also warned that many will not endure (2 Timothy 4, 1 Timothy 4), so there is no difference between Paul’s letters and Jesus’s words — despite the claims of OSAS and Pretrib teachers. In fact, OSAS and Pretrib rapture come from people twisting Paul’s writings, exactly as 2 Peter 3 warned.
Now millions expected a rapture on the Feast of Trumpets. What will they do now? Move the goalposts a little further, chase the next “sign” or false prophet, or finally be corrected by God’s Word that leads us to finish the race? God’s Word gives us eyes to see. Jesus warned the lukewarm church was blind and naked, and another church that only a remnant had not defiled their garments. He condemned false apostles, false Jews, Nicolaitan deeds, Balaam’s greed for fame, and Jezebel’s demonic teaching. These are the very obstacles He said must be overcome for salvation — and Pretrib is just one of many deceptions.
And the world is watching. BET mocked the false date with the headline: “10 Things to Do to Prepare for the Rapture on September 23 — besides panic-buying white robes.”
Dallas Weekly wrote: “The prophecy stirred a mix of humor and skepticism across Black social media spaces, where many mocked the ‘Rapture trend’ as another internet fad.”
AP News reported: “A doomsday prediction about the Rapture is spreading on TikTok, with some followers saying they expect a ‘fast-track getaway’ before the world collapses.”
This is exactly what 2 Peter 2:1–2 foretold:
“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you … And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.”
Because of false rapture dates, adulterous pastors, and bad doctrines, the way of truth is mocked and blasphemed. But the Bible and early Church writings both warn: the last days will bring the greatest persecution ever seen — so of course the devil would love to bewitch millions into thinking they’ll escape. The truth remains: OBEY JESUS’S WORDS TO overcome IN SOUND DOCTRINE TO THE END OF YOUR SALVATION — for only the faithful will receive the crown of life.
A brother asked me: “Why focus on exposing Pre-Trib Rapture?”
- Because it blinds people .
- Because it causes shipwrecked faith .
- Because it rejects dozens of Scriptures .
- Because it preaches against Jesus Christ .
- Because it tells people you do not have to endure to the end .
- Because it preaches another Jesus, another gospel, another spirit (2 Cor 11:4) .
- And most of all… Because I love God and I love YOU enough to contend for the faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3) .
Idolatry in Jeremiah was defined as worthless things, fetishes, and false worship — and that’s what false rapture dates have become. They fascinate people, make them feel chosen, but actually blind them to God’s plan. Like Israel trusting in idols, today’s church runs after “rapture prophets” instead of preparing to endure tribulation. Jesus told us clearly that Antichrist will make war with the saints (Dan 7:21), that persecution will come, and that those who endure to the end will be saved (Matt 24:13). There is no crown for quitting early — the crowns are for those who fight, finish, and overcome.
Paul said to run the race to win the incorruptible crown (1 Cor 9:24-25), to fight the good fight of faith and lay hold on eternal life (1 Tim 6:12). He said works will follow us (Rev 14:13), that confession is made unto salvation (Rom 10:10), and that by our words we will be justified or condemned (Matt 12:37). The 5 crowns of Scripture — life, righteousness, glory, rejoicing, and incorruptible — are all given to those who endure, labor, and keep the faith.
Revelation’s “7 Blesseds” show blessing not for escape, but for reading, hearing, keeping, dying in the Lord, watching, keeping garments, entering the first resurrection, and doing His commandments. Jesus warned the churches: repent, overcome, be faithful unto death. He promised the overcomers rulership, white garments, a crown of life, and the right to the tree of life. But He said the lukewarm, the fearful, the unbelieving, the idolaters, and liars will be cast into the lake of fire (Rev 21:8). That is why pre-trib and OSAS are damnable heresies — they blind people to endurance and holiness, which is the true gospel.

Charlie Kirk’s Memorial: Beautiful or Bogus? [podcast]
“Wow! Excellent biblical podcast on what we saw during the memorial service. Thank you. As I have already stated I was a doubter of Charlie Kirk. I saw many people that I believed were true disciples of Jesus posting about what a great man of God CK was. I thought ‘can they all be so deceived by him?’ I knew he had endorsed the pope and other things that I had only heard about him. But I did not follow him enough to really know. So instead of criticizing I prayed to the Lord and asked for discernment to see the truth and for God to show me his fruit. Matthew 7:16 By their fruits you will know them. And I took a step back from all the hype. And what I saw was truly amazing. He really loved the youth of our day. That seemed to be his heart. But he especially loved the young men. Who have been crushed out of their manhood by satan. He told them to be marry, and have children. That they were not born into the wrong sex! He taught them what a man should be! To work hard and really stressed the importance of family. Which we know is also God’s heart! Be fruitful and multiply! Genesis 1:28. He gave them the heart of God! And we know the heart of God is Jesus! John 1:18. He also gave them the gospel message of repentance and giving your life to Jesus. He truly was a national treasure to the young men of our country! And his devotion to Christ was celebrated at his memorial service! But so was the name of Jesus and His gospel message that went out to all the nations in this late hour. Sharing your message and pray more share to see the truth and stop slandering his name.” Karen Cochran
Did God use Charlie Kirk to literally turn a nation to Himself? Is this only the beginning?
Read this following passage with the life, death, and now departure of our beloved brother Charlie Kirk in mind. And the fact that we all miss him and yet all in Christ shall soon be reunited in eternal glory:
“I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. 36 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all. 37 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him, 38 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.” Acts 20:35-38
Interestingly some of those who didn’t even watch Charlie Kirk’s memorial pretend to the be the experts on this matter.
“He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.” Proverbs 18:13
So some are posting about how evil Charlie Kirk’s memorial was and that if you watched it you are going to be deceived by the antichrist.
Don’t expect me to jump on your little “evil eye”, your “let’s find the darkness in everything and everybody no matter what bandwagon…
“He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.” Proverbs 28:26
Tucker Carlson taught on the necessity of repentance.
“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Luke 13:3
PAUL’S PRAYER AND DESIRE FOR CHRIST’S BODY: The prayerful goal is that biblical discernment is learned among the members of Christ’s body, and not to promote any mere man or organization. – “that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment (discernment).” (1 Corinthians 1:10)
“Prove (test) all things; hold fast that which is good.” 1 Thessalonians 5:21
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1
“For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;” Colossians 1:9-10
“Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment (discernment).” 1 Corinthians 1:10
He was being sought, seduced to be catholic which is what the vatican does and has done for 2k years. Nothing new. Did he get distracted? Yes. Did he fall for it? The evidence we DO know is that Kirk died saying things like “Jesus died so we could live!” And “It’s all about JESUS!” Case closed.
“For those who say Charlie didn’t share the gospel, of which I could share multiple videos of him doing such, I think this is about as close as it gets! ‘Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.’ 1 Corinthians 12:3 KJV.” Stacy Strother
Every time something good is going on, or something seemingly good, that does not mean is a hoax from satan…. where is your faith Jesus asks (Luke 8:25). So Jesus did some great things as we read in the Gospels and yet you say the Son of God has changed, He no longer does good things? Heb 13:8… Acts 10:38; Luke 4:18; Ps 147:3
“But his wife was catholic” say the clowns. THAT doesn’t mean Charlie was catholic. Get over yourself. Actually the power of God in her husband is bringing his wife to Christ. The words she spoke yesterday make that clear.
“Charlie Kirk makes it very clear that he has mutual respect for catholics, but made it very clear that he was in disagreement with very important issues, And Remains protestant, NOT Catholic.” Jay Krause
I am reminded how Charlie often stated that “I am an evangelical Christian.”
In a debate with Michael Knowles, a catholic, Charlie Kirk stated: “Your goal should be to bring people to Jesus, not to catholicism.” Charlie Kirk From his own mouth on catholicism. Kirk also pointed out the catholic heresies of transubstantiation and mariology.
Concerning the heresy of the immaculate conception of Mary which claims she was sinless, Charlie Kirk stated: “I would not be able to enter into any faith that claims that anybody but Jesus Christ our LORD was without sin.” Charlie Kirk
Jesus is bringing many catholics home to HIMSELF…. just as Jesus brought this fool, me, to Himself out of a life of pagan catholic worship. And millions of others who are now HIS! WHERE O WHERE is the mercy and desire to see lost souls saved???!!!! Do you mind? Does that bother you? If so, you are the one in darkness (John 3:19-21).
“Be not deceived” Jesus’ Gospel is being preached – just as He promised it would be to all the world (Matthew 24:14). The endorsement is upon Christ, no other. 2 Corinthian 4:5
“No man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.” 1 Corinthians 12:3
There is so much material that flies in the face of the naysayers. Here’s but another piece.
“The name of the Lord was glorified by so many speakers yesterday. People all over the world watching or listening. It was amazing and encouraging for the masses to see so many that turned up for the event. And not only that but for those not interested before in Jesus, many are beginning to buy bibles and go to church as they turn to the Lord. Obviously, this was a God-inspired thing. Praise God.” Anita Villareal
Yes … In some cases in spite of the speakers, God was glorified by them quoting, saying what Charlie said and how Christ was most important to him.
“It’s ALL fake” say the ones who can’t see the light….. then they condemn to hell those who see the light of Christ in these things He is doing. John 8:12 Jesus says ….
IF all you see is darkness, does that prove you are the one in darkness? John 3:19-21
Remedy to an evil heart of unbelief and darkness: Read Hebrews 3-4 and repent of all unbelief, ask God to increase your faith in Him and give you a heart of faith in Him and take away the soul damning “evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.” Hebrews 3:12-15
M.O. – It’s no mystery, it’s no surprise that when a large platform is built, with large audience, that the catholics and masonic devils will seek to highjack that platform by infiltration and seduction, etc (2 Corinthians 2:11). Some seem to focus on satan’s agents instead of what Christ is doing and they are trying to usurp. They only see the darkness in the battle for the souls of men. If the LORD is at work, their darkened hearts can’t see that God is at work, and that HE is larger than all the forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). Their faith and therefore all they see is in the darkness.
One person said “if you watched any of that yesterday you will fall for the antichrist.”
Yet you can bet that same person is making accusations, is bearing false witness and they didn’t even watch it. That’s like the people who judge the Bible and yet have never read it.
“And now the crazies are out! One person said if you watched any of that yesterday you will fall for the antichrist. That is laughable. They are saying his wife was catholic.” Karen Cochran
To say God no longer moves by His Holy Spirit to save those He sent His only begotten Son to die for makes one a cessationist, does it not? | Satanic Cessationists Exposed
Over 100 million streams and there’s no telling how many people were watching each stream. Largest event ever? Why?
One writer noted:
“It was estimated that over 3.5 billion people received the gospel yesterday world wide.”
“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:14
The LORD is bringing to pass what He ordained and prophesied, foretold… and HE, who is large and in charged, needed the permission of any speck of dust (us). God will use whoever HE sees fit to use (Psalms 75:6-7; Daniel 2:21, etc.).
“Who are we to say what He can and can’t do! We are merely dust! He used a woman who was heavily into new age to speak the gospel to me! Romans 9:17 says God even used Pharaoh for His purposes. Even hardening his heart was part of God’s plan. To show His sovereignty and authority! And so His name might be known and glorified throughout all the earth. God even uses His enemies for His purposes. He sets them up and He removes them (Daniel 2:21). He is in complete control and we are just dust.” Karen Cochran
Seems fair to say that IF you didn’t watch it, you have no credibility to make determinations about it (Proverbs 18:13).
The LORD used wicked king of Babylon Nebuchadnezzar to speak His Word. Anyone who has a problem with such, with the LORD using anyone He sees fit to use, is in darkness (John 3:18-21).
There are some among us who have more faith in satan and his evil human agents than they do in the LORD. They seem to resemble the brothers of David who were full of fear and cowardice because their eyes were not upon the LORD but self, sin and satan (1 Samuel 17). Do they have “an evil heart of unbelief”? (Hebrews 3-4)
Unless you’ve watched the memorial, perhaps you should do so because mouthing off about. That sounds like the evil unbelieving heart of those who judge and seek to discredit the Bible yet have never read it. Were we not warned about such foolery? Proverbs 18:13?
Some people, in darkness it seems find darkness in everything, including what GOD is clearly doing, just as He foretold Matt 24:14 … I guess Erika forgiving the “killer” is satanic too right? ha no it’s Christ-like
To the naysayers who seem full of unbelief ….. I guess Erika forgiving the “killer” is satanic too right? No it’s Christ-like. On the cross, when dying for my sins, for yours, the Son of God declared “Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.” (Luke 23:34)
Viewing Charlie Kirk Through the Eyes of God’s Word [podcast]
At his memorial, nearly with NO exception, everyone speaking of Charlie Kirk, all who know him well, personally, they ALL say Christ is the most important thing to Charlie Kirk…. and most of these people are not even saved. In relating the faith of Charlie Kirk, each of them testified and some of them even preached the Gospel, Jesus. Love him or hate him, How can anyone honestly say Charlie Kirk didn’t preach God’s Word? JD Vance said that he himself has never spoke more about Jesus Christ as he has since Charlie Kirk’s death. The roman catholic church gives their prey enough to make people want the real thing. His wife, in a tearful speech, actually preached the cross, quoting Luke 9:23-24 among speaking other Bible truths.
Some of the people in trump’s cabinet and trump himself, who are not saved…. have been greatly affected by this…. and every one of them spoke of Charlie Kirk’s faith, relationship with Jesus. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the name of Jesus so many times in one day.
Searching out and finding out all the masonic symbolism etc., in the matter in no way negates that the Word of God was communicated. They find joy in believing the worse. they only see the darkness and perhaps it’s because that’s what they are in. they miss the light…
Yes some seem to be making an idol out of MAGA, Charlie Kirk, etc., due to their hatred. They miss what God is doing and forget that HE alone is in control. See Psalms 75:6-7; Daniel 2:21.
“One thing did stick out to me, and that is the message of the cross. Jesus increased and politics decreased despite some of the speakers trying to make it a us vs. them. JESUS over everything! 
for their eyes to be opened to the glorious gospel of the Risen Saviour, and to do his great commandments; to love the LORD with all their heart, all their soul, all their mind. And to love their neighbor (even our human enemies) as ourselves. For our true enemies are the devil, his angels, and our own sin. Our victory lies in the blood of the Lamb and our testimony of lives laid down for his glory. Amen.” Jon Crane
Politics were completely swallowed up in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Any attempt, though weak, to turn to politics, was not even noticed. Personally I never noticed such. Brother Charlie famously stated “It’s all about Jesus!” Whatever TPUSA is or who else works there or influences that organization, in no way changes the salvation and work of God in the life of Charlie Kirk.
The question of Chris Tomlin came up….. and how he apparently sings at Joyce Meyer events ….. okay but does that change the fact that when an individual disciple of Jesus sings those praise songs, they are glorifying God from their own individual heart? I don’t think so….. Jesus had a fraud right there among His own 12. Does that mean the other 11 were in sin for participating with Christ’s ministry? No.
“We witnessed the gospel of Christ being spoken to millions of people yesterday! One by one they spoke the words of Jesus even if they did not believe! How do you explain that? The power of God is the only explanation!! Yesterday I heard Jesus is Lord, He died for your sins, we have all fallen, and sin separated us from our creator! And God took on the form of a man, came down, lived among us and died on the cross to take away the sins of the world, and on the third day He rose again. Tucker Carlson said, “The only real solution is Jesus, christianity, the gospel message, the message of Jesus, begins with repentance. The only change that matters is when we repent of our sins, we, ME, is a recognition that the real problem is me and how fallen I am”!! There’s the cross and the gospel message! He nailed it! Yesterday we witnessed the gospel message going out to all the nations! I watched hours of praise and worship to our Lord Jesus! Charlie Kirk was a mere man. Yesterday God flipped the switch and it was no longer about Charlie Kirk but about Jesus who came into this world to be the propitiation for our sins, and not just us, but the sins of the whole world!! 1 John 2:2. Hallelujah!! God spoke loud and clear!” Karen Cochran
“I saw the same as Karen Cochran! At the memorial service for CK. The pure gospel was held in high esteem and far above meager man. I saw that millions of people have been given an ALL OUT IN YOUR FACE AND HEAR opportunity to turn to Christ! Nothing was held back. Nothing. To God be the Glory!” Stacy Strother
Is God using the Charlie Kirk assassination for HIS own glory? Yes He is and He didn’t need the puny permission of any mere sinful man or man to do so.
New Testament saints were active in doing the Great Commission Jesus gave us long before TPUSA came along. Christ’s kingdom is all about HIM, King Jesus, and no mere man or organization of mere men, which are subject to waver and change and surely will. Mark 16:15-20; Matthew 28:18-20, etc. The Great Commission is dependent upon no one but Christ, who after He gave us His mandate and promised to be with us in that mission to the end.
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15
Organizations of mere men will change and be subject to error. We must follow Christ. That’s why we Have His Word and Holy Ghost empowering us.

Remember: EVERY evil group known to man will be seeking to infiltrate and control, and mislead, and use for its evil advantage TPUSA. This would include the catholic church.
“But he was political!” YES, and that’s how he gathered millions to listen to him and he preached the Word to them! Do you have a problem with that? If so, who is it that you should be examining? 2 Corinthians 13:5
This week, one deceived soul claimed:
“A church refusing to honor and speak about Charlie Kirk is one to mark and avoid. They are not honoring Christ or the scriptures.”
Notice he is using “mark and avoid” out of context and is likely himself causing the division and offenses from that very text he mis-applies (Romans 16:17).
The kingdom of God is all about King Jesus and no man. In fact Charlie Kirk himself declared “It’s all about Jesus!”
“I thank you so much for this podcast. I have struggled with finding God’s truth. Knowing he endorsed the Pope. And was a mixed bag at times! So I took a step back from all the hype and began to watch some of his videos. And became a fruit inspector! He did seem to be humble and when people would speak he politely put his mike down and listened. He was kind, loving honest, gentle, meek and kept the peace. I never heard him even yell. But he was bold. Most of all he preached the gospel. How do you test if one is a false teacher? 1 John 4:2 tells us. “Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God.” He did preach this. Satan is definitely after our youth and he tackled those lies with boldness! It would seem that is what many may have seen. He did not flinch and from what I saw and he was given some hard questions. Proverbs 28:1. I thank you because this podcast helped me to see Charlie Kirk and his life in Christ biblically.” Karen Cochran
Just as Jesus also foretold, the love of many is waxing cold (Matthew 24:8-14).
Testimonies
Things Charlie Kirk did wrong do not negate the things he did right. Isn’t that the same for your life and mine?
My long time friend Mark called during the recording of this podcast…. is son:
“I’ve never been so moved as I am now to be saved. All that matters was that Jesus was with me for the whole race.” Jett
“Charlie’s death has left such an impact that even here in Africa, he’s been talked about, his faith and dedication to Christ.” Prince Kaz
“Last week after Charlie was martyred I was so angry and lost. I made the decision to go to church on Sunday to look for answers or some relief from all of it. Fortunately that grace was there. I’ll remember how I felt in the days leading up to it – but that sense of peace that the word of Christ brought to me after bottling up all of that anger was otherworldly.” Jacob
“I have chosen to finally accept Jesus our Lord into my heart because of Charlie. I have been closed off from his love for too long. Our country has lost its way and Charlie’s assassination proves that. We need our American values. We need Jesus.” Sarge
“My 18 year old daughter decided to give her life to Christ this morning. The day after Charlie was murdered, she asked me to get her a bible, and said she felt in her heart she needed to find God… Charlie is the reason she has finally come to Jesus. Thank you Charlie.” Abigail
“I came back to Christ this week after a long time. I’m not the only one. Thank you, Charlie, for bringing millions to Christ. We will continue to pray for the lost to be found.” Ashton
“Charlie Kirk brought me back to Jesus. Glory to God!” James
“I ordered a Bible today… Charlie Kirk’s death just feels so different to me and my gut told me to get a Bible.”
“I bought my first Bible yesterday because Charlie made such an impact on me.”
“Purchasing my first Bible tomorrow. I’ve been crryyying and all I can think is I need to learn the word. “
“I haven’t been to church since I was little, and I’m going this Sunday.”
“I haven’t been in probably 10 years, we are going as a family for the first time with toddlers this weekend. “
“I just gave my life to Jesus.”
“Charlie is bringing me to church this Sunday for the first time in 10 years.”
“Read the Bible today for the first time ever. I’m 32 & also going back to church Sunday.”
“I read my Bible for the first time in 10 years yesterday. This has shifted something in me.”
“I got my Bible out haven’t opened it in decades but I feel a spiritual awakening coming.”
“I’m ordering a Bible and looking for a church near by. I’ve been to church and got married in church but haven’t been in years! Charlie inspired me and clearly many others.”
“How can I join a church? Can I just show up there and walk in? Do I need to sign up? Does anyone know?”
“My family and I will be going for the first time!”
“I got a Bible today!”
“Dusting off the Bible. Starting up the daily devotional Church on Sunday. He did not die in vain.”
“I ordered a Bible today.”
“I got a Bible today for the first time in 35 years.”
“I have never been religious but something about this event has made me want to turn to God. I need guidance. I am utterly heartbroken and lost right now. I don’t know what to do.”
“Dusting off my Bible.”
“This is my TURNING POINT!”
“I pulled out my Bible last night for the first time in 14 years.”
“Yes, I couldn’t sleep I kept praying. Yesterday, I picked up my Bible I asked God for forgiveness, asked for the world to repent “
“I picked up my Bible and prayed for the first time in a year the day before he passed and it was right around the time he passed the day after. I prayed for a sign God was real cause I am struggling to believe. I believe now.”
“I haven’t been able to sleep, I’m going to start going back to church weekly. I am not ok, I haven’t been able to stop crying. It feels like all the peace has been stolen from this world. God help us.”
“I prayed so hard last night before going to bed. I felt The Holy Spirit. I felt so heavy and this feeling of being wrapped into the love of Jesus. When I prayed, it’s like the whole world around me went silent and it was just me and God. It was a beautiful moment. No more lukewarm, I love my Lord and Savior.”
“I have not gone to church in years and I told my husband last night that I would like to start going again and feel the spirit of Jesus, or God. I need peace and hope in a world that is scary. I need faith.”
“Brought out emotions I’ve never felt before for someone I don’t know. My spirit is very uneasy. It’s made me want to pick up my Bible and learn more and memorize more of the Bible to spread the gospel.”
“Yes I feel a fire ignite in my spirit more than ever, I feel boldness to Speak The Truth No Matter What! The enemy is trying to place fear in God’s people, but I Will NOT BE SILENT!”
“I’ve never felt more different. I’ve felt so much closer to Jesus Christ. I just want to help anyone around me to come to know Christ.”
“I told my husband ‘I gotta read my Bible more. He was killed for believing exactly what we believe.'”
“The amount of people I’ve seen say this turned them back to God, atheists saying they’ve prayed for the first time and are seeking God…it is the beauty of this tragedy.”
“Yes!! I haven’t felt the same since I need to get back to church, get back to the Lord! This has woke me up, told me to get back to my faith! I need to bring my children to church tj bring them up to know and be a child of God!”
“100%. A fire was definitely lit within God’s children.”
“I’ve never felt this way in my entire life. Even though I have always been a Christian, I’m on fire! God is working in everyone.”
“I have felt the Holy Spirit more than ever the past 48 hours.”
“This has to be a wakeup call for all of God’s children! We need to not stay silent any longer! Come out of the shadows and shine our light fur all to see.”
“It’s definitely lit a fire in my soul that’s for sure. We as Christians should be doing more than what we have been.”
“Absolutely, this has made my spirit uneasy and angry, but also more on fire for God, like preparing us for something bigger that is about to take place (and I’m not saying end of times since we don’t know when it will happen).”
‘He inspired a spiritual awakening, draining the lukewarm waters in me and flooding my heart and soul with a new fire for God. I feel led to step out in faith and be bold in a way I’ve never been before.”
“He allowed me to reflect upon my life as a believer in Christ. It’s time to do better. Not for me, but for Christ. I grieve because of his family, his leadership and testimonies, but I praise as he will be glorified in Heaven.”
“Makes me want to get closer with God, I’ve been emotional with deep feelings the last 3 days and I know it has to do with God! Something is happening!”
“Yes big time had people reach out to me today to talk about Jesus they don’t know him yet but they’re suddenly wanting to.”
“It pushed me to schedule my baptism, not just wanting to do it, but scheduled and confirmed.”
“Yep! The enemy thought he won by getting rid of Charlie Kirk. He just started a whole new movement that’s rising.”
“Yes! I want to speak of God and the gospel every chance I get now! I am not ashamed of the gospel!”
“Last night I went to church for the first time in 21 years and denounced my “satanic” label I won’t let his death be for not LLCK I’m absolutely heartbroken I almost have no tears left I’m shattered.”
“I definitely felt a spiritual shift after it happened. I don’t have a church congregation near me but I’m starting a daily devotional with my friend over FaceTime. If it’s all I can do, I’ll do it with my all.”
“Yes, I’ve felt so unsteady, interrupted almost. But I’m so happy for it. The Holy Spirit has awoken something deep in me again that I haven’t felt in years. And I’m deeply ashamed that it took such a horrible event for me to remember again. Rest in Paradise, Charlie.”
“It put the fire on my family to lean into our faith publicly and boldly. We were always so tolerant to others feelings about faith. It’s about time we openly proclaim Jesus Christ our Savior. God use us to your will.”
“Me and my man are going back to church. RIP Charlie. You are never forgotten.”
“Absolutely it was, and it was Loud. Charlie’s legacy is living on, and he is rejoicing with Jesus as all of the Lord’s children are.”
“It resolved my question of whether or not I wanted to be officially baptized. Now I know for certain that I am ready. I am ready to live my life as Jesus did. As Charlie did. I am ready to surrender it all to the Lord.”
“Absolutely stirred up everything in my soul.”
“I have been far from God lately. I still talk to him but not near as much as I used to. Just ordered a new Bible 30 minutes ago. Couldn’t tell you where my old ones are. I’m starting new.”
“My homie who hasn’t been to church in a decade asked if he can join me this Sunday. This is a revolution.”
“Amen. This is shacking me to the core. I will never be the same. God called me back with a force I have never felt.”
“I have consumed more gospel in the last 2 days than I have in almost 2 decades, revival is here.”
“One of the things that helped me find peace about Charlie is realizing he was home with Jesus worshipping God. It made me come back to Jesus myself. I want to know that reassurance for myself. I finally surrendered. You will NEVER be forgotten, Charlie, You made your mark, Rest in peace.”
“Opened my Bible today and prayed and just talked to God so much these last few days.”
“yes! this is spiritual warfare and time to step up and speak up unapologetically just as Charlie did. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and I will be louder than ever!”
“This makes me want to bring as many people including myself to Christ as possible. God bless us all.'”
“Going to church Sunday for the first time in 15+ years and been praying. Signs are all over the place for me. “
“I have decided, at 55 years old, that I am going to read my Bible.”

always be eternally grateful that he did that “
“I picked up my Bible for the first time in years yesterday because of Charlie Kirk.”
“I ordered a Bible today … Charlie Kirk’s death just feels so different to me and my gut told me to get a Bible.” Kelly
“Pick up your cross” ~ Charlie Kirk. Isn’t that what Jesus said is essential for following Him? Yes He did (Luke 9:23-24). Isn’t that what miniscule “pastors” preach? Yes.

“Behold, I Come Quickly; and My Reward is with Me” [podcast]
God gives each and every person opportunities, right under our nose – so He will be justified in rewarding us if we obey or punishing all who disobey (2 Thessalonians 1:7-10).
“Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his WORK shall be.” Revelation 22:12
The word “reward” appears 80 times in God’s Word and means to pay for service – good or bad – as in reaping what we sow (Galatians 6:7-8).
Greek: mis-thos’
Apparently a primary word; pay for service (literally or figuratively), good or bad: hire, reward, wages.
Those who are not literally obeying God have chosen to be counterfeits, are self-deceived, and will be eternally damned (Romans 2:13; James 1:22). Talk is cheap (1 John 3:18).
The difference between the three men who were given talents was what they did and what they did not do (Matthew 25:14-30). See Proverbs 24:10-12; Matthew 25; Luke 10:25-37; 16:19-31; 18:10-14; Romans 2:1-11; Galatians 6:7-8;1 John 3:14-19, etc.
“He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his WORKS shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” Revelation 22:11-13
Repentance from Dead Works, Waste
If we are not participating in the work of Christ, if we do not literally engage in “the Father’s business” of feeding His “little flock” and evangelism, by simply doing our part, it plainly proves we are backslidden (Matthew 28:18-20; Luke 2:49; John 21:15-17, etc.). All who are not about the “Father’s business” are all about their own business.
If in this temporal world our whole existence consists of pursuing our own dreams, obtaining that next toy, trip, trinket or status, we also are hell bound like church at Laodicea if we do not repent and buy of Christ gold tried in the fire (Revelation 3:14-22).
If you don’t like conviction of your sin, but rather wish to continue to have your ears tickled till it’s too late (unless you repent) and you are in hell irrevocably, this site would not be the place for you (2 Timothy 4:2-4). There is no end to the list of those out there who will gladly lie to you.
The term “mortgaged to the hilt” refers to those who have vested themselves in this temporal world with a tepid view of eternity (2 Corinthians 4:18). They don’t want to go to hell and yet live like this world is all there is (1 John 2:15-17). Such have freely chosen to be “lukewarm” counterfeits and are in need of repentance before it’s too late (Revelation 2:4-5; 3:14-22). Such a person has chosen to build the house of the earthly life on sinking sand which will be swept away in judgment to the abode of all rebels in the end to whom Jesus declares – “Depart from me”! See Matthew 7:19-29.
“(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” Philippians 3:18-19
If you are truly Christ’s, you are personally called to participate in HIS work. You don’t get to opt out. No, God holds you 100% accountable and you will stand before Him to give account on Judgment Day. Christians doing secular work is for the stated purpose that they “may have to give” in order to “establish his covenant” which means to do the Great Commission Jesus sent us to do (Ephesians 4:28; Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20).
Here’s why God gave you the ability to earn money:
“But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.” Deuteronomy 8:18
As is demonstrated by the earliest followers of Jesus, when there is true repentance and salvation, there will always be good fruit to prove their true repentance – including letting go of this world and it’s things, and living with an eternal perspective for the glory of Jesus Christ the soon coming KING.
“And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.” Acts 2:44-45
Those who truly are Christ’s are living for His eternal glory, doing His bidding, His work in this life.
“And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. 33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35 And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. … 37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.” Acts 4:32-37
Jesus’ Prayer to the Father and Our Priority
John 17
“I pray for them (His people): I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.” John 17:9
God’s priority and ours, is His people, not the world and its temporal pursuits. See also Galatians 6:10.
We can’t change this world. It’s perishing. This we see was all foretold. Read Matthew 24; Luke 21 afresh. Should we begin, is it time to pray to our LORD afresh and wean ourselves from focusing on the “wars and commotions” and to obey God by doing His will, doing His Great Commission He sent us to accomplish?
“But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.” Luke 21:9
Is it time we block out the noise, put our hand to the plow of God’s Word, and be about our “Father’s business”? (See Luke 2:49.)
“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” Luke 21:28
Read Luke 21.
