I wrestled with God last night…

I thought I was radically sold out to Him.
I thought He had my unconditional “yes.”
I thought I had laid it all down and surrendered fully.

I thought that if the moment ever came where my faith would cost me my life, I would be ready to stand tall and say, “I will not deny my Jesus.”

But then… when I heard that Charlie Kirk was assassinated—no, martyred—something shifted inside of me.

Suddenly the “yes” that I thought was unconditional felt shaky.
Suddenly the fire that I thought was unshakable flickered.
Because my mind went to my children.
It went to my husband.
It went to the future I want to have, the things I want to do, the places I want to see, the milestones I haven’t reached yet.
And I broke before the Lord.

Paul says in Romans 12:1, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.”

And as I wept last night I heard the Holy Spirit asking me if I was truly willing to be a living sacrifice?
A living sacrifice means the altar will test the depth of your “yes.”
It means the fire will expose whether our surrender is conditional or complete.

Peter called himself a bondservant of Christ (2 Peter 1:1).

Paul said the same again and again—Romans 1:1, Philippians 1:1, Titus 1:1.

They could have called themselves apostles, leaders, church planters, miracle workers.
But when it came down to identity, they said, “I am a servant. A slave of Jesus Christ. My life is not my own.”

And Paul didn’t just speak it; he lived it.

He said in Romans 1:14, “I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.”

He carried in his spirit a debt, a duty, and an obligation.
He owed his life to the gospel.
He owed his breath to the One who met him on the Damascus road.

His “yes” was not cheap, it cost him beatings, prison cells, shipwrecks, betrayals, hunger, thirst, and eventually his life.

And yet Paul could say with confidence, “For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21).

Church, we talk about revival.
We talk about fire.
We talk about surrender.
But have we truly placed ourselves on the altar?
Have we truly said, “My life is not my own, I have been bought with a price?”
A living sacrifice doesn’t crawl off the altar when the fire gets hot.

A living sacrifice doesn’t negotiate the cost.
A living sacrifice says, “Lord, all that I am, all that I have, all that I will ever be, I place in Your hands.”

This is not an emotional moment of worship.
This is the covenant of the bondservant, who says, “I love my Master too much to leave His house. I love my Lord too much to claim my own freedom. Pierce my ear, mark me forever, I belong to Him.”

And that is what Jesus is asking of us in these last days.

He is raising up a church that doesn’t just worship with lips, but with lives.
He is calling for a generation that loves not their lives unto the death (Revelation 12:11).

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to just talk about being a living sacrifice, I want to be one.
I want my children to see a faith that is costly, not comfortable.
I want my family to see a legacy of surrender, not compromise.
I want to stand before God and hear Him say, “Well done, My good and faithful servant.”

So last night, I placed myself back on the altar.

I laid down my fears.
I laid down my excuses.
I laid down my future.

For my life is not my own.
I have been bought with a price.
I am His bondservant.
I am His vessel.
I am His living sacrifice.

Let’s start a revival

I am already seeing evidence of this happening! Charlie’s death was not in vain. God is turning this tragedy around for good. Thank you Lord! Let your Spirit move across this land like never before, amen!

A close friend sent this to me today. It was today's devotional that she read this morning. So timely as we think about the work that Charlie Kirk did. He finished his race.

Who else watched Erika Kirk’s statement a moment ago? So powerful!🔥

At first it didn’t make sense. When we try to reason in our own hearts we are focusing on the tragedy, or the storm. His ways are not our ways. His ways are Higher. Not our will but His will.

Amen!!!

Testimony Tuesday

It hasn’t even been a week since Charlie Kirk’s death, and we are a seeing tidal wave of conversions, people turning to the Lord, hearts are being stirred. Something is happening.

The Spirit of God is definitely moving, not just here in the USA, but all over the world.

In less than a week we are seeing this wave of people making decisions to change and turn to Christ. Even lukewarm Christians are realizing the death of Charlie put a check in their spirit to do to better, make sacrifices, make a difference for the kingdom of God and speak boldly for Christ.

Here are three examples of the impact one man’s death is having over mankind.


This first video revisits the story of Stephen who was martyred in Acts 7. The story is similar to what we are witnessing today.
Watch how this man explains what exactly happened after Stephen’s death compared to Charlie Kirk’s death.
👇🏼

This second video is about carrying the mantle of Charlie’s and multiplying his mission.

When I asked God to give me a noscripture about multiplying He gave me the following…

“He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.”
2 Corinthians 9:10 ESV

It’s no coincidence that this verse is also the date of Charlie’s death.🤯
👇🏼

You can see the peace in this man’s heart, his tenderness, his surrender, the hope he now has. This is what it’s all about.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”
Romans 15:13 ESV
👇🏼

The final video is about the seeds that Charlie planted. The verse below is the perfect metaphor of what a seed can do. Charlie planted biblical principle seeds in the minds of people…now witness how many more seeds will bear the fruit of God’s message of hope.

“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.”
John 12:24 ESV

This man explains why God calls us uniquely and individually according to His purpose for each us.

Hey friends,

I came across this video through another Telegram channel and thought I would share. It is from Dr. Frank Turek, who was Charlie Kirk’s mentor. It is well worth the watch.

He gives a testimony of his close relationship with Charlie and was by his side when Charlie was killed. Some of you may have heard the conspiracy that the “man in the white shirt” was sending hand signals or making gestures. Well Dr. Turek debunks this because it was him that we saw. (He talks about in the video)

This is a very heart wrenching video, as Frank tearfully discusses that fateful day. But it is also comforting to hear about what Charlie was like; his life, and his passion to share his faith without compromise.

I believe you will be blessed by this testimony of Dr. Frank Turek’s relationship with Charlie and the legacy that Charlie undoubtedly left.

You can find him on his YouTube channel: Cross Examined

Blessings
