“I Forgive Him”

Like many across the country, I have struggled to find words of comfort, words of wisdom and reason behind Charlie Kirk’s assassination. I have wept in private, my heart breaking for this young man’s widow and two babies. I have sat stunned, unable to even pray, knowing fully well that Charlie Kirk knew what he was doing would probably be the death of him, and it was. I was shocked but not surprised, to tell you the truth, because I hear of Christians being killed, yes martyred by the hundreds on the African continent and in other parts of the world. Why? Because they ARE Christians. We’ve seen people killed in Churches in this country but the Truth about those killings aren’t released. Evil is seeking to destroy Christians in any way possible.

Why are so many Christians being killed? Because the demons have possessed so many into believing that what is good is bad and what is evil is good. It is Biblical. Isaiah 5:20 New King James Version says; “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” But even more, we are certainly looking at the end times and the book of Revelation is full of prophecy that speaks of the demoralization of mankind. They cannot stand our Jesus showing through us; they fear the LIGHT, they fear the TRUTH!

Yes, I have struggled and even though I know I should be praying, I haven’t been able because I feel God’s presence in my heart and I know what is coming because He reassures me. I want to rejoice, yet I mourn because I know how urgent things are and how many will not open their hearts to Jesus and it will be too late for them because they don’t know, they don’t know! I mourn for those who persecute Christians and hope their eyes and hearts open before it is too late!

When Erika Kirk stood behind that podium at “Her Charlie’s” memorial service, she had the armor of God on and her tongue was her sword of TRUTH! When she said those golden words; “Our Savior said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they not know what they do.’ That young man … I forgive him. I forgive him because it was what Christ did, and it’s what Charlie would do.” She set off heaps of ashes on heads of those who celebrated “Her Charlie’s” death! Was I surprised at her forgiving her husbands assassin? Not really, because in my heart I knew that this strong Christian woman is of the highest caliber of Christian. She lives and breathes Jesus Christ, awake and asleep. She has a power given her by the Holy Spirit that few Christians ever are blessed with.

Erika’s Grace bestowed upon the man who took her husband is a tiny example of Christ’s Grace he shows upon all humanity. We do not deserve it, yet it is freely given. Erika, in her wisdom as a Christian knows that had she not forgiven this man, her heart won’t heal and Charlie’s message would not be received as it should be. By giving Her Grace to the assassin, she releases herself from all burdens associated with the pain she is feeling. She has overcome any resentfulness she may feel. She did this not only for herself but for her children and Charlie’s mission. In doing so, she becomes the great lioness in the battle against evil and becomes a leader for Christ.

When we dig into Erika’s Grace further, we will discover that the Leftist who celebrate Charlie’s death and continue to insist that Charlie spoke evil, will not be able to deal with that Grace. Their rhetoric WILL BE EXPOSED as LIES! They will implode upon themselves and LIGHT will once again over power DARK. They have already exposed themselves and it will get worse before it gets better. They have already said they aren’t done with political assassinations and should have started higher. GOD FORBID!

As it is now, John 12:24 says it best, where Jesus is speaking. “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.” Jesus Christ’s seed was planted in Charlie’s heart and now, Charlie’s seeds are planted in MILLIONS of followers. Charlie’s life he led is worth copying as I don’t think we can find a better example of a man who let Jesus take COMPLETE CONTROL of his life. Let’s strive to be more Christlike!

The Pope Is Dead

This morning I woke up to the news that Pope Francis had died. I feel no sorrow for this man as his belief system was what I feel counter to the tenants of Christianity. Yes, I just crossed a line with my Catholic friends, but let me explain some of my thoughts about this Pope Francis, then allow me to explain why I question the Catholic faith.

My first argument is that Pope Francis believed in a onw world government. This I believe is something right out of the book of Revelation and the antichrist. Pope Francis had also made statements that all religions lead to God. This statement is one of the most un-Christian of any Pope I have ever seen! This Pope also wanted to accept lifestyles and people who were definitely not according to Scripture. I can see Loving them but accepting their hate towards Jews and behavior against Scripture is not according to Scripture. Pope Francis was a known Socialist and those ideologies in my opinion do not work well with Christianity. Mind you, I am not judging, just pointing out red flags for me.

Now we move to the Catholic faith/religion. I have studies the Catholic history and of course the Reformation. There is so much to unpack on this I may exclude some of it. My key points that make me question the Catholic faith are as follows:

1) Jesus said in John 14:6 “I am the way, truth, and life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” I want to know why Catholics pray to Mother Mary and the ‘Saints’ like Christopher, John and the others. Are they God? No. Did Jesus say to pray to them? No. To me this is like praying to another god such as Baal because Mother Mary is not a god and never was.

2) Why has the Catholic church hidden things from the People and what are they hiding? Are they afraid of something?

3) I have always had issue with all the priests who have sexually abused children. Instead of prosecuting them and sending these perverts to jail, they just moved them to other parishes.

4) Why pray the rosary as a punishment for the sins confessed? All sins committed are covered with the blood of Christ, feeling sorry for our sins is good but there is no way to pay for our own sins as 1) they’ve already been paid for and 2) it is impossible to pay for our sins in anyway shape or form that would cover them. It is utterly impossible.

5) Did Jesus or God reveal different levels of Heaven to John? I have read Revelation and find only layers of stone, not levels of heaven.

6)Jesus died for our sins, His blood covered them. All we have to do is accept Christ as our Savior and by faith and grace alone we are saved. It is so simple, yet the Catholic religion makes all these rules that must be followed yet they still don’t guarantee a person goes to heaven! There is purgatory and such that the Catholics must go through. Show me where Christ said everlasting life is conditional.

I could go on but I am tired. I am also sorry for the Catholics that morn a human set upon a pedestal who held such un-Christian ideologies. I don’t hate anyone. I just question things.

It Isn’t Just the Jews They are After

Did you know that 1 in 7 Christians are persecuted world wide? Did you know that 1 in 5 Christians are persecuted in Africa and 2 in 5 Christians are persecuted in Asia? Why don’t we hear about this on the lamestream media? I believe it is because like the Jews who the terrorist organization called Hamas, is also targeting Christianity for elimination. We are talking religious persecution on steroids.

Most commonly, governments are targeting the Christians but more and more you see Islamists (Islam is a political ideology that uses religion as a way to operate.) killing Christians. In addition to killing Christians, many are forcibly displaced and became refugees. According to Open Doors.org, “Islamic extremism continues to cause the most persecution (31 nations), especially in sub-Sahara Africa where Open Doors fears Nigeria will soon trigger ‘a vast humanitarian catastrophe” across the continent.”

Open Doors list the top eleven countries where it is most difficult to be a Christian: #1 North Korea, #2 Somalia, 3 Yemen, 4 Eritrea (a country along the Red Sea), 5 Libya, 6 Nigeria, 7 Pakistan, 8 Iran, 9 Afghanistan, 10 Sudan, 11 India

The places where Christians face the most violence are: Nigeria, Pakistan, Cameroon, India, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Mozambique, Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, Myanmar, Colombia and Niger. What is frightening is that even Mexico is in the top 40 list!

Open Doors reports that between October 2021 and September 2022, the number of Christians martyred are as follows and list the numbers! Some are estimated (denoted by *) because these are conservative numbers.

  1. Nigeria-5,014,
  2. Name withHeld: 100*
  3. Mozambique: 100*
  4. Democratic Republic of Congo; 100*
  5. Central African Republic: 61
  6. Myanmar: 42
  7. Colombia: 21
  8. India: 17
  9. Mexico: 14
  10. Honduras: 14
  11. Pakistan:12

It isn’t just individual Christians who are under attack, it is the churches. It isn’t unusual about what China is doing to Christians as it is common to hear about people thrown into prisons. Yet the churches still thrive under these threats! Thank God for that as people are hungry for the Word of God. However, China tops the list for the most estimated churches closed from Oct 21-Sept 22, with a conservative estimate of at least 1,000 churches closed. Nigeria, Myanmar, Mozambique, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, and Angola are estimated at at least 100 churches closed and India closed 67, Mexico closed 42, Colombia closed 37 and Nicaragua closed 31 churches. WHY?

Why is Christianity targeted along with Jews? My belief is that because both religions are based upon the same God and those targeting them fear the TRUTH. In any way shape or form you look at things, Jews are number one on the list and Christians are next. WAKE UP people!
