WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.680 This message was given on the evening of Charlie Kirk's assassination September 2 00:00:04.680 --> 00:00:09.000 10th, 2000, and 25. 3 00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:11.400 Wait Christian, very, very much so. 4 00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:12.760 Like, why is that exactly? 5 00:00:12.760 --> 00:00:16.120 Oh Jesus saved my life, I'm a sinner, gave my life to Christ, most important 6 00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:17.120 decision I ever made. 7 00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:18.600 So you believe the Bible is real? 8 00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:20.440 Yes, I believe the Bible is true and real. 9 00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:21.440 Why is that? 10 00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:24.040 Well, I could give you the technical answer, there's never been archeological 11 00:00:24.040 --> 00:00:26.120 discovery that has contradicted the truth of the Bible. 12 00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:28.800 And then of course the wisdom, there's not a truth of the Bible that if you apply 13 00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.360 your life, your life does not improve dramatically. 14 00:00:31.360 --> 00:00:36.600 And then finally, we have the most accurate and transparent historically robust account 15 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:40.400 that one can have of the most important figure ever to live in the history of the world, 16 00:00:40.400 --> 00:00:41.400 Jesus of Nazareth. 17 00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:47.040 And the resurrection is the pinpoint of my belief that Jesus did rise from the grave so that 18 00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:49.040 we may live. 19 00:00:49.040 --> 00:00:57.520 Well, before we go any further tonight, we need to remember that when you wake up tomorrow 20 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:02.760 morning, it will be September 11th. 21 00:01:02.760 --> 00:01:07.640 And that marks 24 years when our nation was attacked. 22 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:12.000 And we do need to remember that, I fear we have forgotten that. 23 00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:21.720 So for some of us, we remember vividly where we were at on that Tuesday morning. 24 00:01:21.720 --> 00:01:28.560 And America's under attack, I think America has been under attack ever since that day. 25 00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:30.800 I don't think it's ever backed off. 26 00:01:30.800 --> 00:01:34.360 I think it's just worked in the shadows. 27 00:01:34.360 --> 00:01:39.160 So just remember tomorrow, great loss of life in our nation. 28 00:01:39.160 --> 00:01:49.520 And resulting also, of course, in a great loss of life in what, 14, 15 year of war that 29 00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:57.120 was executed or prosecuted in Iraq and Afghanistan. 30 00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.160 It's a day to mark some of the young people that are here with us tonight. 31 00:02:00.160 --> 00:02:02.840 I know that you weren't even born yet. 32 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:08.960 But for some of us, we can close our eyes and it's in technical. 33 00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:21.400 And also, obviously, we've gathered together tonight to honor my friend and to talk about 34 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:25.240 the dynamics and the questions. 35 00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:31.960 And I really covet your prayers tonight because I'm going to try to be in two places at the 36 00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:37.360 same time if that's possible with technology. 37 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:43.760 But tonight, I just covet your prayers because at eight o'clock, from eight to ten o'clock 38 00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:49.240 tonight, I'll be joining the Fox News team in New York. 39 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:57.320 And we're going to be discussing the assassination of Charlie Kirk. 40 00:02:57.320 --> 00:02:59.680 And so we need to ask questions. 41 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.480 We need to answer questions. 42 00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:11.400 But one of the things that we want to look at at times like this is how does someone get 43 00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:14.280 to heaven? 44 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:20.840 We would say in this context, by believing in Jesus, trusting in Jesus, yes, amen, repenting, 45 00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:24.720 repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. 46 00:03:24.720 --> 00:03:28.640 The scripture says, yes, that is the answer. 47 00:03:28.640 --> 00:03:36.080 But by what means do we get to inherit such a wonderful gift that has been given to us? 48 00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:39.160 Jesus purchased heaven for us. 49 00:03:39.160 --> 00:03:42.800 And so the question is, how do we get there? 50 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.720 Someone long time ago had a bumper sticker that said, everybody wants to go to heaven, 51 00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:50.400 but nobody wants to die. 52 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:55.280 And death is that door that you have to go through. 53 00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:05.040 There is no way to meet Jesus Christ without going through the door of death. 54 00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:08.520 David said, yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear 55 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:09.520 no evil. 56 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:11.880 A lot of people misunderstand what David was saying. 57 00:04:11.880 --> 00:04:17.640 When we suffer in this world, folks, and we head toward death itself, that is the valley. 58 00:04:17.640 --> 00:04:21.200 There is no valley after death. 59 00:04:21.200 --> 00:04:25.360 There is only Jesus Christ in the glory of heaven after death. 60 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:31.200 It is to know Him and to be absent from the body of the Bible says it is to be present 61 00:04:31.200 --> 00:04:32.200 with the Lord. 62 00:04:32.200 --> 00:04:38.760 Instantaneously, Stephen was being stoned to death there in Jerusalem and before Stephen 63 00:04:38.760 --> 00:04:45.440 even died, the Lord gave him encouragement and he saw Jesus stand up. 64 00:04:45.440 --> 00:04:51.600 As he was seated at the right end of God the Father, Stephen saw Jesus stand up. 65 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:54.080 That is uncharacteristic. 66 00:04:54.080 --> 00:04:57.720 The Bible says Jesus is seated at the right hand of God the Father. 67 00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:01.360 But then Stephen tells us that Jesus is standing. 68 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.640 I saw Him stand. 69 00:05:04.640 --> 00:05:12.520 And so we thus conclude that whenever God's children are passing, they see Jesus standing 70 00:05:12.520 --> 00:05:19.520 to meet them, to say something like this, well done, Charlie. 71 00:05:19.520 --> 00:05:26.520 Well done, Charlie. 72 00:05:26.520 --> 00:05:56.480 The verse on the screen for tonight. 73 00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:07.680 It has been my go to today, as media has been calling, the news agencies have been calling 74 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:21.360 and word travels, and I was blessed by all the invitations and honor to speak about my 75 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:26.520 friend and to say things that, yeah, we knew each other well, yes, I talked to him just 76 00:06:26.520 --> 00:06:39.320 yesterday and I had the incredible opportunity to have Charlie here so long ago, but we 77 00:06:39.320 --> 00:06:40.320 hit it off. 78 00:06:40.320 --> 00:06:47.320 You know when you meet somebody, you know that, you know, love it for a sight. 79 00:06:47.320 --> 00:06:51.760 I'm not gay or anything, but I've had that with the, with the few men I have that with. 80 00:06:51.760 --> 00:06:56.000 It was love it for a sight with Tony Perkins. 81 00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:02.840 It was love it for a sight with Frank Turek, and it was love it for a sight with Charlie. 82 00:07:02.840 --> 00:07:07.640 It's that Cornenia, the bonding of the spirit, of the Holy Spirit within a brother that 83 00:07:07.640 --> 00:07:11.640 plugged you together, bond you together, nothing has to be said by the way. 84 00:07:11.640 --> 00:07:15.040 I know women have a hard time with that. 85 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:22.080 Us men, we just have to groan and grunt, and we communicate a thousand words. 86 00:07:22.080 --> 00:07:28.720 And it's enough for us, and, but you know those three men I just mentioned to you a moment 87 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:38.640 ago, quite amazing to me because in the last 24 hours I've spoken with all three of them. 88 00:07:38.640 --> 00:07:41.480 I just didn't know that one of them would beat me to heaven. 89 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:44.720 I planned on being there before him. 90 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:56.280 But this is Charlie. 91 00:07:56.280 --> 00:07:58.280 Look at that here. 92 00:07:58.280 --> 00:08:04.200 Look at that age. 93 00:08:04.200 --> 00:08:11.640 And you know, he was smart then, but he became wiser. 94 00:08:12.640 --> 00:08:20.040 That's in our podcast room, and he was doing his show here and brought his attack dog, 95 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:24.360 which was always great. 96 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:26.360 He always honored me. 97 00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:31.080 I always wanted to believe that I'm too young to be his dad, but the reality is I'm way, 98 00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:36.400 way old enough to be his dad, but he would always be so kind to have me sit next to him 99 00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:38.680 or with him. 100 00:08:38.680 --> 00:08:46.120 But Charlie, every day or every other day, Charlie would text me a Bible verse. 101 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:51.360 And he was always faithful to call and say, listen about, to talk on something. 102 00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.560 I'm about to go out and speak about this particular issue. 103 00:08:54.560 --> 00:08:57.440 Where are we on this? 104 00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:00.320 I love that. 105 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:02.600 Where are we on this? 106 00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:03.600 On this issue. 107 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:05.960 Whatever it might be, Charlie, this is where we're at. 108 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:08.240 Here's what the Bible verse is. 109 00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:09.720 This is where we're at. 110 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:15.880 So I'm going to ask you guys to put the verse up on the, yeah, that's beautiful. 111 00:09:15.880 --> 00:09:18.680 But put the screen, the verse, I'm sorry. 112 00:09:18.680 --> 00:09:20.280 This is Charlie. 113 00:09:20.280 --> 00:09:21.280 Well done, Charlie. 114 00:09:21.280 --> 00:09:25.680 For I am ready, already being poured out as a drink offering. 115 00:09:25.680 --> 00:09:32.360 This is the Apostle Paul speaking, and the time of my departures at hand. 116 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:37.640 Notice that when the believer leaves, we leave from here to go somewhere else. 117 00:09:37.640 --> 00:09:44.040 You don't depart somewhere without having a destination to go to. 118 00:09:44.040 --> 00:09:47.760 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I've kept the faith. 119 00:09:47.760 --> 00:09:53.280 Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous 120 00:09:53.280 --> 00:10:00.840 judge will give to me on that day and not to me only, but also to all who have loved 121 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.320 his appearing. 122 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:11.680 The words of the great Apostle. 123 00:10:11.680 --> 00:10:21.920 And so today, at what looks like in the wordly narrative, it looks like Charlie Kirk was 124 00:10:21.920 --> 00:10:29.360 assassinated by a professional killer, a very skilled marksman, knew exactly what he 125 00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:37.160 was doing, and it looks like a catastrophe. 126 00:10:37.160 --> 00:10:47.760 So CNN or Fox asked the question, if you believe in God, why does this stuff happen? 127 00:10:47.760 --> 00:10:49.960 Really? 128 00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:55.280 In one of the interviews today, I said, you're asking the wrong question. 129 00:10:55.280 --> 00:10:58.640 I said, we should ask the question and put it upon ourselves. 130 00:10:58.640 --> 00:11:02.600 Why are we allowing this stuff to happen? 131 00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:04.800 As a culture, as a people. 132 00:11:04.800 --> 00:11:13.480 Why? 133 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:17.920 There is a danger, there is a poison in our culture that is godless, and that has been 134 00:11:17.920 --> 00:11:22.880 trained up in our culture by the godless. 135 00:11:22.880 --> 00:11:30.280 In the interview today with Fox News, the reporter asked me a question and I said, I want 136 00:11:30.280 --> 00:11:35.120 to be a little bit sarcastic with you. 137 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:39.280 When you talk about these kinds of things happening, why not? 138 00:11:39.280 --> 00:11:45.280 Why not stab a young woman who has fled from the Ukraine to come to the only hope in the 139 00:11:45.280 --> 00:11:53.240 world for safety and freedom and liberty only to be stabbed three times in the neck and 140 00:11:53.240 --> 00:12:00.000 bleed the death while onlookers watched as a man who had been arrested 14 times was 141 00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:11.680 once again released from jail by a judge that was hired or made a judge as a DEI policy. 142 00:12:11.680 --> 00:12:26.640 That judge, in my opinion, that judge should be held for murder in the first degree. 143 00:12:26.640 --> 00:12:27.640 That's my opinion. 144 00:12:27.640 --> 00:12:29.440 I do know what Jesus will do. 145 00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:34.240 He's made it clear with such evil. 146 00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:38.920 But we need to be very careful that in all of these things, we keep our heart tender and 147 00:12:38.920 --> 00:12:42.840 only do that if we keep our heart biblically focused. 148 00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:46.560 The question is, how could a god of love allow such a thing? 149 00:12:46.560 --> 00:12:47.560 Wait a minute. 150 00:12:47.560 --> 00:12:53.760 The judge made it perfectly clear and let's not get too blind by our emotions. 151 00:12:53.760 --> 00:13:02.800 Jesus said Satan has come to rob and kill and destroy death and anyone who practices death 152 00:13:02.880 --> 00:13:10.200 is a disciple of Satan and it's a doctrine of the devil and it's of deceiving spirits. 153 00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:21.200 In America today has lost its way because we have forgotten God. 154 00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:22.840 And that is not my opinion. 155 00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:26.800 These are the fruits and manifestation of a godless age. 156 00:13:26.800 --> 00:13:31.320 And when I said to that reporter, allow me to answer you with some sarcasm. 157 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:32.320 Why not? 158 00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:36.160 Why not put a knife in a woman's throat until she's dead? 159 00:13:36.160 --> 00:13:37.160 Why not? 160 00:13:37.160 --> 00:13:43.560 Why not pull the trigger and extinguish anyone's life? 161 00:13:43.560 --> 00:13:49.760 Oh, and yes, Nancy Pelosi, the gun was the problem. 162 00:13:49.760 --> 00:13:53.800 Not the heart, not the evil spirit within an individual. 163 00:13:53.800 --> 00:13:59.840 It's those dog gun guns that just jump off the table and shoot people. 164 00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:00.840 When are we going to learn? 165 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:04.720 If we're going to outlaw guns and we can need to outlaw knives and if we outlaw knives, 166 00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:10.240 we need to outlaw rocks and if we outlaw rocks, we got to outlaw hands that can be used 167 00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:12.120 to strangle somebody. 168 00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:16.080 It's not the gun, stupid. 169 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:19.080 It's the heart. 170 00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:21.280 It's the heart. 171 00:14:21.280 --> 00:14:27.840 And until the heart is changed, there'll be no change in our culture until the heart 172 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:30.360 is changed. 173 00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:37.680 But the political woke side of our nation, which is now obviously, in my opinion, either 174 00:14:37.680 --> 00:14:46.440 covertly or overtly, have launched a civil war against this constitution and this nation. 175 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:51.560 It's okay if certain people die. 176 00:14:51.560 --> 00:14:52.560 They're the judge of that. 177 00:14:52.560 --> 00:14:54.120 They've taken the place of God. 178 00:14:54.120 --> 00:15:02.720 And so I said this, why not kill people and how dare we say that it's wrong? 179 00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:09.600 What a hypocritical approach when we spend 13, 14, 15 years telling our kids in school 180 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:14.840 and university, you're nothing more but an evolutionary byproduct. 181 00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:15.840 You're an animal. 182 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:19.520 There's no God. 183 00:15:19.520 --> 00:15:22.880 You're at the top of the food chain. 184 00:15:22.880 --> 00:15:30.640 And so we have manipulated and poisoned our culture to the degree that people now can 185 00:15:30.640 --> 00:15:34.880 take life without a batting of an eye. 186 00:15:34.880 --> 00:15:38.160 It's not God's fault, it's our fault. 187 00:15:38.160 --> 00:15:41.760 We need to start asking the question. 188 00:15:41.760 --> 00:15:42.760 Why is this happening? 189 00:15:42.760 --> 00:15:43.760 That's it. 190 00:15:43.760 --> 00:15:45.600 We've taught our kids to be animals. 191 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:51.000 Instead of them being taught that they're precious in the sight of God and all human life 192 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:58.600 is precious in the sight of God, that we need to honor one another and love one another. 193 00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:03.840 But the Bible is very clear, God's Word is very clear that we are to have the rule of 194 00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:09.920 law and those who perpetrate evil are to suffer the consequences of their actions. 195 00:16:09.920 --> 00:16:10.920 And we've lost that. 196 00:16:10.920 --> 00:16:20.280 We have the evil protecting the murderer and we have good people deciding to be silent. 197 00:16:20.280 --> 00:16:26.720 And we need to decide if we're going to decide at all what are we going to do. 198 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:31.760 And here's what we say as believers. 199 00:16:31.760 --> 00:16:33.520 We pray. 200 00:16:33.520 --> 00:16:37.400 That's where we begin because we start in prayer, we continue in prayer and we end in 201 00:16:37.400 --> 00:16:38.400 prayer. 202 00:16:38.400 --> 00:16:41.400 Until Jesus comes, we will pray. 203 00:16:41.400 --> 00:16:43.080 And so that's a given. 204 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:48.440 You never stop, you never give up, you keep that dialogue with God open. 205 00:16:48.440 --> 00:17:02.480 But today, a man was silenced and everything about Charlie, listen, I hope I remember to 206 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:09.840 come back to where I'm interrupting myself on, I've got to tell you something. 207 00:17:09.840 --> 00:17:16.240 Charlie, Charlie might have been 31, almost 32, he might have been 31. 208 00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:20.880 But I watched him go from a teenage Christian, I don't mean teenage, I didn't know him as 209 00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:22.200 a teenager. 210 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:25.760 He was a teenager in spirit. 211 00:17:25.760 --> 00:17:36.200 Very smart, crazy smart, like savant smart and memory, I've never seen anything like it. 212 00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:41.760 But if you followed Charlie over the years, you watched and you listened to him mature 213 00:17:41.760 --> 00:17:50.000 more quickly that today, Charlie's physical body ceased to exist today, ceased to function 214 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:51.400 today. 215 00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:58.600 But Charlie went to the arms of Jesus today at about the ripe old age of about 90 years 216 00:17:58.600 --> 00:18:01.640 of spiritual age. 217 00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:05.840 And I'll prove it to you, I can prove it to you. 218 00:18:05.840 --> 00:18:09.560 In some case, you could say that Charlie out grew his body. 219 00:18:09.560 --> 00:18:17.360 So God brought him home, hey, listen, I've never seen anyone sit in a hostile setting on 220 00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:26.520 university campuses, more recently at Oxford University, and be attacked, cussed at, spit 221 00:18:26.520 --> 00:18:36.000 at, defamed, threatened, and he just sat there, never one city's fire back, ever, ever. 222 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:42.640 Charlie Kirk never said anything back to those assailants, like, why don't you drop dead 223 00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:46.640 or you'll find out someday when you're awake, when you wake up in hell, he never said anything 224 00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:50.240 like I would say. 225 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:56.720 He was a gentleman, he was winsome, and he stood in the lion's den and prevailed every 226 00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:04.440 single time he prevailed. 227 00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:11.200 Charlie loved the truth, and he knew the truth could not be killed. 228 00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:14.480 And tonight we have a lot of young people that are here tonight, good, I'm glad you're 229 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:16.080 here. 230 00:19:16.080 --> 00:19:17.640 You know what I think? 231 00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:24.880 I think the million plus Gen Z followers of Charlie Kirk, our members of Turning Point 232 00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:27.200 USA, do you know what I think? 233 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:30.800 Another knucklehead reporter asked me today, who's going to take Charlie Kirk's, who's 234 00:19:30.800 --> 00:19:33.040 going to step into Charlie Kirk's shoes? 235 00:19:33.040 --> 00:19:35.840 I say that's the wrong question again. 236 00:19:35.840 --> 00:19:38.360 You don't replace Charlie Kirk. 237 00:19:38.360 --> 00:19:40.640 Charlie Kirk knew that. 238 00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:48.280 That's why Charlie Kirk discipled and replicated believers and patriots so much across this land 239 00:19:48.280 --> 00:19:53.040 that it even spread to many other countries. 240 00:19:53.040 --> 00:19:57.480 And the young people today, here's the answer, here's what's going to happen. 241 00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:07.200 What Satan meant for evil, God will turn it around for good. 242 00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:13.160 And so I think here's what's going to happen. 243 00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:22.840 I'm not a prophet, I'm a pastor of a nonprofit organization, that's as close as I can get. 244 00:20:22.840 --> 00:20:32.520 Could it be in the wisdom of God that in his infinite sovereignty, he's going to comfort 245 00:20:32.520 --> 00:20:43.080 Erica and he's going to take care of those kids, he'll take care of them for Charlie. 246 00:20:43.080 --> 00:20:50.120 But in the infinite wisdom of God and don't miss this, none of you miss this, don't miss 247 00:20:50.120 --> 00:20:54.080 it. 248 00:20:54.080 --> 00:21:07.880 On our own soil today, we witnessed as the world watched a martyr, a martyr and not only 249 00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:12.440 a martyr, an assassin martyr, and you might say, Jack, you can't put those two things together 250 00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:17.840 because an assassin is dealing with political issues and a martyr, those are religious issues. 251 00:21:17.840 --> 00:21:22.960 So pick one, this is the uniqueness of Charlie Kirk. 252 00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:32.920 Charlie Kirk stood, he stood in the culture and he preached truth and he gave truth and 253 00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:41.600 logic and reason because the God of the Bible is the same God of logic, reason and Charlie 254 00:21:41.600 --> 00:21:58.000 contended and the political left, the progressives, the woke world, the whatever they are, they 255 00:21:58.000 --> 00:21:59.000 hated him. 256 00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:07.600 Charlie Kirk was the voice and one man that all of us should have been. 257 00:22:07.600 --> 00:22:13.520 Charlie went out and spoke like we know we should have spoken. 258 00:22:13.520 --> 00:22:19.320 Charlie has died and left us a witness. 259 00:22:19.320 --> 00:22:24.400 Charlie believed in what he announced, he believed in what he preached, he lived it out and 260 00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:32.840 young people listen, are you looking for something in your life that is so great, that it's 261 00:22:32.840 --> 00:22:33.840 greater than you? 262 00:22:34.040 --> 00:22:39.720 Listen, I want to tell you a little lie, Satan wants you to think that your life is the 263 00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:46.000 end all to everything that everybody in the world was created for your pleasure and Satan 264 00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:55.240 has lied to you and he's told you that you're at the top, no, you're not at the top. 265 00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:59.920 The greatest thing that you can do in Jesus taught us, serve your brothers and sisters. 266 00:22:59.920 --> 00:23:06.600 Wash their feet, Jesus said, I'm washing your feet and if I, the Lord, your master is 267 00:23:06.600 --> 00:23:14.240 washing your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet and here's the deal, young people today. 268 00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:20.560 Whatever you're living for, you better test it now because this world is so nuts, you 269 00:23:20.560 --> 00:23:25.960 could be dying for anything but whatever you die for is it worthy of your life? 270 00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:31.800 Is it worthy of your life to give Charlie when out there today doing what he did and what 271 00:23:31.800 --> 00:23:36.520 God had called him to do and he was a patriot on one side and he was our brother on the 272 00:23:36.520 --> 00:23:43.200 other side and he had no problem bringing those things together and you want to know what? 273 00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:48.760 If you would have plucked Charlie out of this 21st century and placed him back 250 years 274 00:23:48.760 --> 00:23:53.400 ago with our founding fathers, he would have gotten a high five from Ben Franklin, Thomas 275 00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:59.800 Jefferson, Sam Adams and the whole lot. 276 00:23:59.800 --> 00:24:08.160 Charlie, Charlie, you look unique to us, he looked unique to us, Charlie was not unique when 277 00:24:08.160 --> 00:24:15.880 it comes to what it means to be an American, that God gave us our freedoms, that we've been 278 00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:22.640 endowed by a creator with certain unalienable rights, God has done this. 279 00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:35.880 And Charlie lived a life that in 1770 or 73 or 75 or 76 or 1783 or 1789, he would have 280 00:24:35.880 --> 00:24:41.400 been one of thousands if not millions, you know that? 281 00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:49.320 He was a young man living out the foundation of this old world that we've come to know 282 00:24:49.320 --> 00:24:55.280 as America but this America young people is not the America I was born into, I don't recognize 283 00:24:55.280 --> 00:25:01.680 this country and I don't care about what happens in Washington or in Sacramento if nothing 284 00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:07.000 happens in the house of God, if nothing happens in the house of God and if revival doesn't 285 00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:12.120 break out in our own personal lives as individuals, it is the end of America and it will be an 286 00:25:12.120 --> 00:25:18.600 end in short order because God has given us warnings, one after another and the question 287 00:25:18.600 --> 00:25:24.560 is we're all going to die. 288 00:25:24.560 --> 00:25:35.920 When I saw Charlie today be shut out of his chair, it wasn't long after that I had this 289 00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:48.840 thought, this is me, I said to myself, well done Charlie, Lord if you might be so gracious 290 00:25:48.840 --> 00:25:58.920 in my life, folks Charlie got up that morning, went to the bathroom, put on his clothes, he 291 00:25:58.920 --> 00:26:16.360 brushed his teeth, Charlie kissed his family goodbye and he flew to Utah and he was throwing 292 00:26:16.360 --> 00:26:25.400 out his TPUSA hats and 47 hats, he's throwing them out and doing what he does. 293 00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:47.080 During touracles with him and it's just amazing that they were together. 294 00:26:47.080 --> 00:26:52.640 What you're living for really, you're ready to die for it, you're ready to die for the 295 00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:56.240 porn you indulge in really? 296 00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:03.360 You could you know, you're ready to die for what, pot really, is that great huh, if you 297 00:27:03.360 --> 00:27:16.480 give your soul, give your life sex, you're ready to die? 298 00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:24.080 The key in life friends is finding something to live for that's greater than you, a cause. 299 00:27:24.080 --> 00:27:32.360 And I personally believe that you don't replace Charlie Kirk with someone. 300 00:27:32.360 --> 00:27:37.160 I believe what's going to happen is that there is going to be not only a million Gen Z's 301 00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:41.880 that are already on Charlie's side and more, but there right now there are people viewing 302 00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:55.240 Charlie Kirk videos all around the world and some of them, and some of them are even the 303 00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:57.760 tractors, his haters. 304 00:27:57.760 --> 00:28:02.400 I think about the thousands of college kids over these last several years that stood in 305 00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:09.760 line in that auditorium or in that open field to ask Charlie or to argue against Charlie's 306 00:28:09.760 --> 00:28:15.800 worldview and how nice he treated you, how nice he spoke back to you, you were so rude 307 00:28:15.800 --> 00:28:20.840 to him, you custom out, you called him incredible words and he looked at you and he smiled 308 00:28:20.840 --> 00:28:28.040 at you, he just smiled and it wasn't sarcastic smile either. 309 00:28:28.040 --> 00:28:41.600 And then when you were done in your rant of idiocy, Charlie would most often say, listen, 310 00:28:41.600 --> 00:28:44.680 thanks for asking me that question, remember Jesus Christ died in the cross for you and 311 00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:47.200 he loves you and he wants you to give your life to him. 312 00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:50.600 Next question please. 313 00:28:50.600 --> 00:29:02.200 He was an evangelist, he was a patriot, he was a Christian, he was my friend and I'm so 314 00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:20.040 proud of him, I'm so proud of Charlie Kirk. 315 00:29:20.040 --> 00:29:25.480 He um, we would have too much fun together, it wasn't too long ago when he was here and 316 00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:31.240 we did a podcast together, we did a real life network thing together and he always reminded 317 00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:34.560 me, he said you know you really messed up my life because when you first had me for 318 00:29:34.560 --> 00:29:40.520 happening now, we did the Klaus Schwab World Economic Forum thing and he said I really 319 00:29:40.520 --> 00:29:43.840 didn't know what I was going to talk about, I didn't know anything about it so I started 320 00:29:43.840 --> 00:29:48.120 studying it, of course Charlie studies things a few hours beforehand and then he winds 321 00:29:48.120 --> 00:29:54.600 up knowing more than what anybody does who studied is in life and if you were here that night 322 00:29:54.680 --> 00:30:01.600 you can go back in our archives and you can see that Charlie just nailed it and two weeks 323 00:30:01.600 --> 00:30:06.840 after that he called me up and he said well thanks to you, everybody's calling me now 324 00:30:06.840 --> 00:30:16.840 to come and give the World Economic Forum talk and I become the World Economic Forum guy 325 00:30:16.840 --> 00:30:21.240 and he would always just joke around and love like that, Charlie was always accommodating, 326 00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:25.480 I'm not eulogizing him right now because that's what we're supposed to do, I'm telling you 327 00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:32.280 the absolute Lord Jesus knows truth, there was nothing, there was no shenanigans with him 328 00:30:34.760 --> 00:30:44.680 and it wasn't very long ago where after Israel took out Iran in the attack of the nuclear 329 00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:53.480 bases all the anti-Semitism began to rise among the Islamic sympathizers and Charlie was kind 330 00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:59.240 of caught in the middle a little bit, some of his friends were either gone over to the dark side 331 00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:04.600 or they started to waver and he called me up he said I need books, I need books, I need you to talk, 332 00:31:04.600 --> 00:31:11.400 I need a message on to answer all this question, I say Charlie I love you, you're crazy, you cannot, 333 00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:19.640 this topic is not a one sermon, listen, here's the books of the Bible to read, go ahead and listen 334 00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:28.520 to these guys and watch out, Charlie navigated those waters and they're difficult times 335 00:31:30.520 --> 00:31:36.760 but he never backed down, whatever the Bible said no matter what Charlie felt the Bible 336 00:31:36.760 --> 00:31:42.840 trumped Charlie's feelings and that's the way you and I are supposed to live, we're supposed to 337 00:31:42.840 --> 00:31:59.640 live just like that and and so I think we're going to see a tremendous rise it may not be 338 00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:06.520 seen on the surface much like you can be in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and have 339 00:32:06.520 --> 00:32:14.120 no idea that while you're sitting on that ship that underneath your ship passed a devastating tsunami 340 00:32:15.320 --> 00:32:21.160 it's below the surface it's still going 200 miles an hour but it's below the surface but when it 341 00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:38.200 gets to the shore it rises up and I believe that Charlie Kirk has made the followers the disciples 342 00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:44.600 those kids they're going to look down deep and I want some of you young I want all of you young 343 00:32:44.600 --> 00:32:50.040 people here to look down deep ask yourself this question this guy told me we need to stand up for 344 00:32:50.040 --> 00:32:56.040 our freedoms speak the first amendment use it God gave it to us let's use it he was an example of 345 00:32:56.040 --> 00:33:08.200 that with dignity and whimsomeness he did it and I want to do the same thing right if you're 346 00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:12.760 young people tell you you want to do the same thing and here's the reason why you have no other 347 00:33:12.760 --> 00:33:18.840 place to take your opinion think about this it's time to surrender to Charlie's God into how Charlie 348 00:33:18.920 --> 00:33:26.520 understood the founding documents of this nation while we still have chance because it's on you I'm old 349 00:33:27.800 --> 00:33:36.440 many of us are old it's the young generation you're going to be facing the growing rise of 350 00:33:36.440 --> 00:33:49.480 Islam in America you need to get ready you need to get ready to face the demonic belief systems 351 00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:59.160 of this godless I don't know what to call it it's got so many things I'm thinking about 352 00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:11.800 woke culture progressive culture godless culture um DEI culture it just goes on and on leftist communist 353 00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:21.160 socialist culture and don't lose heart at this god is always working with the remnant he loves the 354 00:34:21.160 --> 00:34:27.800 remnant and so you might feel this and you might feel outnumbered kids but Charlie taught you to 355 00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:32.600 never allow your feelings to convince you that you're outnumbered because God's always on his throne 356 00:34:33.400 --> 00:34:37.480 and again as I mentioned that there's a lot of detractors that are probably or some people have 357 00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:41.400 never heard of Charlie Kirk before in the world or even in America pasta I'm not that's possible 358 00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:45.240 but in America there might be some young people and they still who's Charlie Kirk who's Charlie 359 00:34:45.240 --> 00:34:50.600 and they're listening and Charlie as it were his voice speaks from the dead and he's talking to 360 00:34:50.600 --> 00:34:55.640 them on YouTube or any one of their posts at TPUSA and kids are starting to think it might be going 361 00:34:55.640 --> 00:35:00.360 on tonight kids are starting to think I didn't know that who's this guy did you hear what he said 362 00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:04.920 and they're gonna send it to their friend this guy the guy that just got shot you know what he said 363 00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:13.560 he said this that's radical yeah but it's true you know dude it's true wow we should probably check 364 00:35:13.560 --> 00:35:26.440 him out I think Satan made a big mistake but I I'll end with this for now we're gonna worship 365 00:35:26.440 --> 00:35:35.160 we're gonna pray but um the scriptures teach us that the Lord has numbered our days you know that 366 00:35:36.520 --> 00:35:42.520 God knew the day that you're gonna be born in fact let's back up God tells us in the testament 367 00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:48.840 in Psalm 139 God knew the day that you were conceived now that's getting personal 368 00:35:54.680 --> 00:36:01.000 did you know that I don't think about that man when your mom got pregnant with you 369 00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:02.600 you 370 00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:14.600 that whole system was designed by God and this collision of information 371 00:36:16.680 --> 00:36:23.000 so great that the depths of the observable universe and beyond 372 00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:30.600 pales and comparison to the technology of the human DNA 373 00:36:33.080 --> 00:36:38.440 that's amazing and it's you you came it's you that's who you are 374 00:36:41.400 --> 00:36:41.640 and 375 00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:51.160 God in engineering all of these things knows the number of your days he says he numbers them 376 00:36:51.640 --> 00:37:00.520 did you know that today was Charlie's day it wasn't the sin believer you know this unbeliever 377 00:37:00.520 --> 00:37:05.880 you're not gonna get this still but it wasn't an accident today was not an accident 378 00:37:06.760 --> 00:37:11.000 are you saying that God did it oh I didn't say that God did it I'm telling you that God knew about 379 00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:19.800 it what didn't you stop it stop what stop what for what stop what for what for what 380 00:37:22.120 --> 00:37:31.880 I say 57 verses 1 and 2 God says a man perishes and no one takes it to to thought 381 00:37:33.560 --> 00:37:39.240 a man is taken off from the earth by death and no man considers it that the Lord has removed 382 00:37:39.240 --> 00:37:48.280 him from evil folks today Charlie was his day you listen Charlie if it wouldn't have been at the 383 00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:55.000 bullet of an assassin it would have been by heart attack it would have been by car would have 384 00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:59.320 been by airplane it would have been somehow some way you don't change your number 385 00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:08.920 when I said well done Charlie it's because he like Paul finished the days that were 386 00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:16.680 allotted to him he finished them honorably gloriously faithfully powerfully he finished his 387 00:38:16.680 --> 00:38:29.080 race he kept the faith and the scripture says that the Lord will give a crown of righteousness 388 00:38:29.560 --> 00:38:39.800 give it it's a gift gifted to Charlie and pulse it and not only me but to all of you who have 389 00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:45.800 loved his appearing do you love do you love the thought of Christ coming again listen yeah I do 390 00:38:48.040 --> 00:38:54.440 listen let me let me ruin your night and let me bless your night at the same time what if Jesus 391 00:38:54.440 --> 00:39:00.440 isn't coming for the next hundred years I was hoping I was hoping I'm getting out of here 392 00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:07.480 painlessly yeah weren't we all but I'm just pretending right now what if Christ isn't coming back 393 00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:16.760 for a hundred years you're gonna die how do you want to die yeah would you say swift quick 394 00:39:16.760 --> 00:39:26.680 yeah I agree I agree I do want to you want to lay you want to lay suffering like my sister with cancer 395 00:39:26.680 --> 00:39:32.200 for seven years I was talking to a friend my son on the phone who was given some bad news from 396 00:39:32.200 --> 00:39:38.680 her doctor and she's been badly and just deep pain you see her she comes to church she comes 397 00:39:38.680 --> 00:39:45.000 in here she looks completely normal and her level of pain that she lives with is unbearable and 398 00:39:45.640 --> 00:39:48.680 we don't know that she looks like it seems like she could jump over the fence 399 00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:57.080 but the doctor said you've got to take new medication and it could be threatening to your life 400 00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:02.680 we have people in this church young people in this church that are I think of one 401 00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:11.080 particular dear brother Elijah who is suffering and his wheelchair it is young age and 402 00:40:11.560 --> 00:40:17.800 he has a death notice they have told him how long he is going to live 403 00:40:19.960 --> 00:40:25.320 suffering Charlie didn't suffer 404 00:40:31.240 --> 00:40:32.600 Charlie breathe in 405 00:40:32.920 --> 00:40:40.680 in fact the last word out of his mouth today was the word violence did you know that 406 00:40:48.040 --> 00:40:54.440 he said everything's gotta be done to stop violence in the bullet entered his throat 407 00:40:54.680 --> 00:41:11.800 do you see the mercy of God tonight in Charlize passing he got hit by a round that would have 408 00:41:11.800 --> 00:41:25.080 dropped a bull moose or an elk that round was designed to drop an 800 pound animal this individual 409 00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:37.720 delivered what is known as a kill shot there was this is not a warning this is an assassination 410 00:41:42.520 --> 00:41:53.720 in Charlie breathe in and the next moment he breathed out in the presence of God he didn't suffer 411 00:41:59.800 --> 00:42:05.880 precious in the sight of the Lord or the death of his saints says the scripture 412 00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:17.400 and so I'm going to ask you please and now in this transitional moment to to pray will you please 413 00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:28.600 intercede tonight for Erica she's got two little ones to not only raise but dog on it they look 414 00:42:28.600 --> 00:42:40.840 just like Charlie they're so precious pray for the entire staff at turning point USA turning point 415 00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:52.920 USA global they're everywhere but folks listen in the spirit realm there's never 416 00:42:53.800 --> 00:43:02.280 there has never been not a day where we've been at war in the spirit realm we battle against 417 00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:08.280 principalities and powers and demonic forces and invisible worlds that manifest themselves in this 418 00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:15.080 physical realm God's got the answer folks people who want to criticize God remember this God 419 00:43:15.080 --> 00:43:21.160 is not anyone the answer we got to get out of this world somehow if it's not by rapture it's by 420 00:43:21.160 --> 00:43:29.240 some other means I want to go as quickly as possible and I've often had that debate with the Lord 421 00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:36.680 and then I remember him telling me in my heart I didn't hear a voice but I had this thought that 422 00:43:36.680 --> 00:43:44.200 ate my thought it was him and he said Jack don't worry about it you can only die so long 423 00:43:44.920 --> 00:43:51.800 you can only die so long and then you're dead is that not true 424 00:43:55.560 --> 00:43:59.640 but here we've we've got the answer because Jesus gave us the answer friends listen 425 00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:06.120 let's cry it's all I've been doing today between interviews I think interviews have kind of 426 00:44:06.120 --> 00:44:16.360 kept me somewhat sane today we can cry we're supposed to cry but don't lose hope we're supposed 427 00:44:16.360 --> 00:44:21.000 to we we're going to wake up tomorrow and it's going to hit us all over again 428 00:44:21.080 --> 00:44:36.360 and uh it's okay we're supposed to do this just don't do it without hope because Paul the 429 00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:47.480 apostle told the believers in Thessalonica let us sorrow let's weep when someone dies but not 430 00:44:47.480 --> 00:44:55.320 without hope for if we believe that Jesus Christ died and rose again from the dead he will also 431 00:44:55.320 --> 00:45:04.840 bring with him all those who died believing in Jesus so that we are not without hope and so 432 00:45:05.960 --> 00:45:13.320 the dark enemy world can do whatever it wants to do it cannot stop us because greater is he 433 00:45:13.320 --> 00:45:20.520 that lives within us the need that is in the world
