CHRISTIAN MARTYR: Charlie Kirk’s Incredible Connection To Stephen From The Bible

[Music]

I really need you to give me your absolute undivided attention throughout the next few moments because something occurred to me in the early hours of the morning between awake and asleep.

Many times, this is when I receive what I call downloads in my spirit that reveal certain things that are going to happen—reveal information that’s concealed in things that have happened.

And those of you that have followed my ministry for 49 years, you know what I’m speaking about. The Lord spoke to me about the assassination of a great man that happened, Charlie Kirk.

And I want to say something to you that have known us for years and those of you that may not know us that well. I was raised by great mentors and I’m a fourth-generation minister.

My father, who was a great spiritual man, saw things to the point that federal government agencies would contact him with visions that he had. And after investigations, they would prove that what he said was either being planned or plotted.

Some of them involved terrorist things that took place. Well, Dad has gone to be with the Lord, but he taught me to never ever say that the Lord told me something unless I’m 100% sure that He did.

And He spoke to me about the assassination—and that’s what it was. A pure, evil, wicked, horrible assassination of a great leader in the United States. A spiritual leader and actually a political leader as well.

Many times, though he was not a politician himself, he was very involved with American politics. Scripture says that at the time of the end, before the return of Christ the Messiah, many are going to be offended, betray one another, and hate one another.

It said that there would be divisions in families—daughter-in-law against mother-in-law, father against son, mother against daughter. That entire families would be divided over the idea of who Christ is.

And not just that, but so many other divisions that you and I both know exist. When this shooting took place, it was a shock not only to those present, but to those who had their phones out videotaping it.

The deception behind this shooting is that Jesus made a statement that there will come a time—and this is the time of the end—when they will kill you thinking they are doing God a favor.

I actually saw people that, after this man was assassinated, were posting that God’s justice had been done. And I’m thinking—what an absolute deceived person, deceived by the powers of darkness.

Thinking that killing a righteous man is doing God’s service. You see this in some world religions where they kill innocent people and they shout praise to God while they’re doing it.

But getting off of that subject, getting to the parallel that the Lord gave me when I woke up out of this half-asleep state—I saw a dream.

I was in the middle of a dream of just tons of young people. When I say tons, that simply means a number that I couldn’t count, that were coming into churches to hear teaching.

And a lot of them were public school, college age, that had no quote-unquote religious background whatsoever. And they were mingling with Christian kids, but they were wanting to hear the truth about the time of the end and the truth about what was happening.

Basically, they were hungry to know answers. And Charlie Kirk was the answer man. Now, the Lord spoke to me—and I had to research this when I got to the office—that his parallel would be found in Acts chapter 6 and Acts chapter 7 with a man named Stephen.

Now here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to give you the parallels of Stephen, the first martyr in the early church. And I’m going to give you the parallels of this man who is the first evangelist leader combined to be absolutely martyred in public.

Now, there have been church shootings, there have been school shootings, but this was something of a whole different level. Let’s go to Stephen first. Here are seven points.

I’m going to go through these quickly.

Number one, Stephen is the first Christian martyr in Acts 6.

Number two, Stephen was not a preacher, but he was a great leader. He and seven other men were appointed by the apostles to help direct the administrative activities in the early church.

Number three, he was in a public gathering outside disputing—that means arguing and disputing—with three groups of people in Acts chapter 6, verse 9.

Acts 6:10 says they were not able to resist the wisdom by which Stephen spoke.

Acts 6:11 says the people he was speaking to were called stubborn people.

And Acts 6:13, the council, which was the government of that time, called him. And what was happening behind the scenes that happened to him was a result of the government or the council and somebody that was involved in that.

Number four, Stephen used history and scripture to expose the people he was talking to.

Number five, he began to speak about Christ and His death. And he began to call the people that he was speaking to murderers. He said, “You are murderers.”

And of course, Charlie was very anti-abortion, and he believed that abortion was murder.

Acts 7:51 says the people he was speaking to—many of them were stiff-necked.

Acts 7:52, when he called them murderers and began to talk about the martyrdom of Jesus in the speech—that’s when they rose up to stone him.

So he was stoned outside in a public stoning area, and he became the first martyr in a public area.

And here’s another point that is a part of the story I’m about to tell you. A man holding the coats of the people who stoned Stephen was called Saul of Tarsus, who thought that the death of Stephen was justice, because Stephen was in Saul’s eyes wrong in what he believed.

Now let’s look at Charlie Kirk and see the parallels of Stephen in the book of Acts chapter 6–7.

He was a Christian leader who was publicly martyred. Yes, he was martyred for his belief—you’re going to find that out.

Number two, he was in a public gathering of people, a mixed group. Some were supporters, and obviously some of them were there to hear him and try to counter his beliefs.

So there were supporters and enemies in the gathering of Stephen, and with Charlie Kirk.

They came to hear the disputing. They were disputing. They were going to ask questions and go back and forth about religious, political, and social ideas.

Now, these are all parallels. Pay attention.

Number four, he was not technically a preacher. He was a great speaker. Stephen was not in the five-fold ministry officially, but he was a very great orator and a great speaker.

If you read the speech he gave before his death, it was incredible.

And here’s another big point—in Stephen’s case, it said they could not counter the wisdom by which he was speaking.

Charlie Kirk would put people in their place with wisdom—not just argument, not debating or disputing, but he had great wisdom in what he said.

And people became frustrated who did not believe as he did, because they could not counter what he was saying except by screaming and yelling and trying to protest.

Number six, he was speaking about death, about crime, and about shooting and death when he himself was shot.

The last message Stephen gave was about the murder and death of Jesus being caused by the people that he was speaking to.

Number seven, Stephen died outside, in a public stoning ground. And Charlie also died in public at the same time.

And all these are parallels.

Now, I want to bring out something that’s very important here. He died a martyr. This is a Christian martyr. This man is a Christian martyr—a public Christian martyr.

Now, once again, there have been shootings in churches. There have been schools, for example. But this was a public setting in front of people.

I’d compare it to the JFK assassination or the Martin Luther King assassination—both leaders. And we can go back to Abraham Lincoln and others that were shot in a setting of people.

Now, I want to tell you what happened to this man the moment he died.

I believe because of the amount of blood that poured out, probably within seconds he had already passed away. And I may be wrong there, because only the doctors—that report will come out.

I’m going to tell you what happened. According to Luke 16, angels—plural, probably two—took his spirit and soul out of his body.

So the people saw his body, but his soul and spirit were gone.

How do I know that? Because the Bible said that when a man dies, in Ecclesiastes, his spirit goes to God who gave it.

And Paul wrote and said to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

And James wrote that the spirit without the body is dead. So it’s his spirit and soul that God takes to a place called Paradise.

2 Corinthians chapter 12—Paul was stoned and left for dead in Lystra. And in 2 Corinthians 12, Paul says, “Whether in my body, I cannot tell, or out of my body.”

He means, “Did I have a vision? I don’t know. Or did my soul and spirit leave my body?”

But he goes to Paradise, and he tells you in scripture that it’s in the third heaven.

Now that’s the third heaven. We can’t even spot it on telescopes, it’s so far beyond. But you go through a time continuum where you leave the earth and almost immediately you’re brought into the presence of God.

Now, where did Charlie Kirk’s spirit go? The Bible tells you he would go to a special place.

If you die in a car accident, a heart attack, natural causes, maybe through a disease—you will go to what Paul called Paradise, where the souls and spirits of the righteous are, in the third heaven.

If you die a martyr, there is a special place in Paradise that God takes you to. It’s found in Revelation 6:9–11.

“When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar”—this is the altar in heaven. And John could see under the altar because it’s a sea of crystal.

The throne room of God in Revelation is crystal clear like glass.

“And I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and the testimony which they held. And they cried out with a loud voice, saying, ‘How long, O God, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?’ Then white robes were given unto them. And it was said to them that they should rest a little longer until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who should be killed as they were was completed.”

Now, this is a verse on the tribulation, but it tells you where martyrs go.

There’s a special martyr’s Paradise there. There is a special crown that a martyr receives.

Also remember this—they are crying, “When will You avenge us of our blood?” Notice they said blood.

If you go to the book of Genesis, when Cain killed Abel and Abel’s blood was spilled on the ground, God said, “The voice of your brother’s blood cries up to Me.”

So this is why in Matthew 23, the Lord sent a judgment to Jerusalem and said to them, “You’re going to be destroyed as a city because you’ve shed the innocent blood of people and the innocent blood of the prophets.”

Now let me just say this. This is very important that you understand this.

That outside of the human body, blood has a voice that only God can hear. We can’t hear it.

But I said to myself—I wonder if the voice of this precious man of God’s blood would cry out to God, what would it say?

I don’t think he would ask for vengeance for those who did this to him.

I think he would be like Stephen and say, “Lord, forgive them. They don’t even know what they’re doing.”

But I do believe this—that his blood would cry out and say, “God, change the hearts of a generation. Change the hearts of the young people in these colleges. Change the lives of a generation that are being twisted with wrong information. Bring them into the truth.”

I believe that’s what he would. If his blood could cry out to God, I don’t think it would ask for vengeance.

I believe that this man’s blood—comparing it to Abel, whose blood cried out to God—would ask for revival to come to America.

His heart was revival to come to this generation.

But I do want to say this to you—for you who are out there that have cheered this and laughed about this, “Yay, yay, yay.”

You better understand that you’re crossing a line of Proverbs that says God hates the hands of those that shed innocent blood—one of the seven deadliest sins.

You’re crossing the line of Matthew 23—that when you shed innocent blood you’ll be cursed.

You’re crossing the line of Leviticus and Deuteronomy—that if an innocent man’s blood is shed it brings a curse.

Pilate washed his hands of Jesus because He was innocent. And the people cried out, “His blood be upon us and our children.”

And within a generation, the entire city of Jerusalem was destroyed.

Israel was occupied completely and totally by the Romans. And the nation of Israel ceased to exist, and the Jews were scattered.

Here’s the part I want to say. The man holding the coats at Stephen’s martyrdom was Saul of Tarsus.

A chapter or two later, Saul of Tarsus is on the road to Damascus to persecute Christians—and he is converted to the Lord and becomes the strongest voice for Christianity in the entire Roman world.

He started churches. He wrote 13, perhaps 14, epistles in the New Testament. He was the apostle to the Gentiles.

So here’s what I’m going to say.

I believe if the Stephen parallel is so perfect with Charlie Kirk, that someone who may have even been a hater of his, someone who may not have believed in this—God is going to visit somebody who is going to be raised up to carry on this movement.

And let me just say to you—this is not going to stop. It’s only going to put a fire in the belly of this younger generation to be a part of the Joel 2 revival.

And I think it’s what I saw early this morning when this download came to me—of all these young people, both those who knew Christ and those who did not, coming together in facilities to hear the word of God taught.

Joel 2: sons and daughters are going to prophesy. Old men will dream dreams. Young men will see visions.

And it happens before the great day of the Lord, before the great tribulation.

This movement that this man started—and you have other great leaders who have movements with young people—we have a Warrior Fest every year for young people.

I want you to know the fuel is in the fire now. Not the fire to retaliate, not the fire to hurt others—but the fire to pray and fast and watch the powers of darkness be broken on a generation of young people.

It’s happening on college campuses and universities. It’s happening in local churches.

And nothing—hear me—nothing that the enemy plots or plans is going to stop the Joel 2 final outpouring before the great tribulation begins.

So rest in peace, my brother. You’re with the Lord. You’re with the One that you loved.

And continue to pray, of course, for the family, which is very difficult. But I want to say how proud I am of him.

We actually were going to ask him to come to one of our main conferences and be a speaker. And now he is with the One he loved.

It doesn’t make it easier on those who are left here and those who witnessed this.

But he is a martyr—just as Stephen was one of the first martyrs, he’s one of our first religious spiritual leaders to be martyred publicly the way that Stephen was.

And I hope what I’d like for you to do—and this isn’t about anything but I think this is such an important message—is I want you to give it a thumbs up so more people can hear it.

But most of all, if you have a feed where you can send this to people, I want you to send this to everybody you know.

If you believe this is a word that is very parallel, I want everybody to hear this—not for me, but because it has to do with seeing the side of this that is parallel to history.

The Bible says, “The thing which has been is that which shall be.” And we’re seeing another parallel of history repeat itself.

I want to thank you for your time, and let’s continue to pray for revival in this generation.
