Years ago, I was listening to a pastor speak who pastored a church in Romania during the Soviet years. He described his life as a pastor in a country where Christians were terribly persecuted. He said that there were many Christian martyrs in the country because of their bold testimony. The Communist government did everything it could to silence them. Many were tortured, some were in prison because of their faith in Jesus, and some were killed. He made a statement that grabbed my attention, he said that every time someone was martyred for their faith, there was a fresh ingathering of new believers, and he quoted John 12:24, “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.” I have been asked numerous times what I thought would happen due to Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and my answer is “revival.” I am not a prophet, and I am not dogmatic about it, but that is what I truly believe will happen. We will see. Jesus was crucified at 33 years of age, and millions of people will live in heaven because of His death. Charlie Kirk was not Jesus, but he was a godly man who was not ashamed of his savior.
Thank you, Dee.
