THE AWESOME AWAKENING OF 2025

THE AWESOME AWAKENING OF 2025

With Charlie’s death, Erika Kirk exemplifies the message in our title, which is FaithWalk: Courage for the Journey.

Read Carefully!
Jesus said, “…unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.”
(Luke 12:24) ESV)

American Christians have been praying for a spiritual awakening for decades. Why? Because those who hate the Biblical worldview upon which America was founded have badly weakened our foundations and rotted our pillars.

The prophet warned, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness…” (Isaiah 5:20). “Woe” means they will be destroyed in the end.

Recently, one U.S. senator dared to say our laws do not come from God but from government. Over the decades, many godly people paid heavy prices, such as losing their jobs, for upholding truth.

Many good people have fought hard to return America to its foundations. Jesus told us how great victories are won when He said, “…unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.”

The rifle shot that ended Charlie Kirk’s life ignited the great awakening of 2025. Courage to stand and speak for truth erupted in millions of hearts. Even the state superintendent in Oklahoma announced plans to put Turning Point USA chapters in every high school in the state.

With Charlie’s death, grief fueled the resolve to turn America back to God. The spine of courage grew stronger in millions. And that was galvanized stronger when eleven days later the newly widowed Erika said to the world, "That man, that young man, I forgive him.”

To fight evil God’s way is for the strong in faith and not the faint of heart. Erika learned to fight hate with love from Jesus. In a time of severe pain, it is not easy to overcome emotions to obey by faith. But she did!

Jesus exemplified this. He certainly did not have warm feelings of forgiveness as His body was shredded from metal-tipped whips, punctured by thorns pressed into His brow, hands and feet pierced by nails and a spear splitting His side. Above His head hung a satirical sign mocking His kingship. Yet, amid this macabre display of evil driven hatred, He said, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”

Jesus final words on the cross were, “It is finished” (John 19:30). The Greek word “tetelestai” is used in this phrase and means, “it is finished,” it is accomplished,” or “paid in full.” It was not sword-swinging angels from on high that redeemed us. It was the death of God’s Son on the cross that opened the doorway to heaven.

Every martyr in history has proven the words of Tertullian, when he said, “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.” Charlie Kirk’s martyrdom followed by Erika’s declaration of forgiveness has set off the Awesome Awakening of 2025!

This is a rare moment. We all must rush to the frontline of this spiritual war to win as many to Christ as possible. He is coming soon.

Always remember, Immanuel: God is with us!
