My two days of journaling, following Charlie Kirks martyrdom. I believe we all can see, hear, and feel God is moving. Stirring revival, speaking and empowering his church to return to Him. I’ve seen a movement in, large scale influencers podcasts, church sermons, small groups, and even into my own journaling that God is working powerfully to reconnect us to His voice! However the enemy is also desperately trying to kill it. Like a wounded dog backed into a corner it lashes out violently.

If you missed my Saturday morning Tribute to Charlie Kirk, please read it here. His martyrdom is the seed to a new worldwide move of the Spirit of God. To stop the murdering of people we disagree with, there are actions the government can take, and actions you and I, as members of the body of Christ, can take. Let's examine both.

Note from Mark: Read our Saturday blog: Tribute to Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated by a sniper's bullet while preaching the gospel.   Charlie Kirk’s funeral is Sept. 21, at the State Farm Stadium in Arizona, which holds 63,000. In the first five days since his assassination, there have been 32,000 requests to start Turning Point Chapters. This martyr’s life has been planted as a seed that we believe will bear fruit of turning 1 million to Christ. Lord, let me receive Charlie's spirit of boldness in proclaiming Christ.

Charles Finney: Revival comes from heaven when heroic souls enter the conflict determined to win or die - or if need be, to win and die! The kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

LaWanda - Oh, Lord, You are worthy.  You ALONE are worthy.  You are worthy of it all.  You alone deserve the glory for the world of Nature, for all the good in the world and for what You did on the Cross.  You alone, Lord.  Help me to give you that honor and glory for EVERY good thing in my life.  Every single one of them.  The glory belongs to you.  Remind me of this, Lord, when I begin to think that I did any of it – for it is only by your grace, your hand on me, that I could do anything good.  Thank you that Your hand has been from before I even was me.

These tributes to Charlie Kirk give you an opportunity to hear Charlie speak and see why his life and ministry was so powerful and such an example for each of us to follow. Lord, grant us grace to pick up his mantle and carry it forth in our nation. Hyperlinks are active.

I scanned the news yesterday morning (9/10/25), and said to my wife, “Wow, the battle just heated up. The warfare in our nation has just gone up a notch.”  That afternoon, Charlie Kirk, founder of “Talking Point USA” was assassinated.

  Lift up your heads, O your gates; lift them up, your ancient doors, that the King of Glory may come in. Who is he, this King of Glory? The Lord Almighty – he is the King of Glory. Psalm 25:9-10

Today as we feel intense sorrow and anger over the assassination of Charlie Kirk, this Psalm is especially meaningful.

This prophetic word of encouragement came through Dr. Ian Wilkinson, a Christian Leadership University graduate.

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword (Heb. 4:12 NASB).

LaWanda – O how I love Jesus.  O how I love Jesus.  O how I love Jesus because He first loved me.  Help me to never just go through the motions with you, Lord.  I lay my heart at your feet.  Help me to keep it there.

I received this question in an email from England: "My friend believes you should believe what your spirit tells you above the scriptures because not all scripture is divinely inspired. My question is, is the Bible infallible?"
