Can you see it now…?

I am a Brit, in shock, devastated, crying and angry… A man I never met, and didn’t know, from half way round the world, has been murdered. Assassinated! He has become a Christian martyr.

Charlie Kirk, what an amazing Christian man; husband, father, son, advocate for the unborn, truth teller, so intelligent and an incredibly gifted communicator, especially with young people…

I have never seen such an outpouring of grief in my life. From all around the world, seemingly all with the same feelings and mindset.

I pleaded with the Lord for a miracle when I first heard the news that he’d been shot. Then, when the news of his death came, I sobbed, as though I was his mother. The pain and grief were real. My anger was SO real, and overwhelming!

I tried to calm myself, and think what would the Lord do? Every fibre of my being wanted to scream and rage and hate, but that just feeds the darkness…

Two passages came to mind…

Ephesians 4:26-27 NIV
“In your anger do not sin” : Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, [27] and do not give the devil a foothold.

Romans 12:19 NIV
Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.

So I sat there, gritting my teeth and saying nothing, and took comfort in knowing that justice will come in God’s perfect timing and meanwhile Charlie is in the presence of the Lord, his race finished.

May the Lord comfort his wife and two young children, his parents and family, his friends and colleagues.

I feel there has been a shift in the heavenlies today. Something monumental and earth shattering has taken place. Evil has been exposed and I think people all over the world are finally starting to see where the real roots of the battle lie…

Ephesians 6:12 NIV
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Every so often, the door opens a little, so we can see what’s on the other side of it… 9/11, October 7th, and now September 10th…

Maranatha!!
