Jack Hibbs Honors Charlie Kirk After Assassination: A Martyr for Faith and Freedom

[00:00] a Christian. My name is ve very, very much so. Like, why is that exactly? Oh, Jesus saved my life. I'm a sinner.

[00:05] Gave my life to Christ. Most important decision I ever made. So, you believe the Bible is real? Yes, I believe the Bible is true and

[00:11] real. Why is that? Well, I could give you the technical answer. There's never been an archaeological discovery that has contradicted the truth of the Bible. And

[00:17] then, of course, the wisdom. There is not a truth of the Bible that if you apply to your life, your life does not improve dramatically. And then finally

[00:23] uh we have the most accurate and transparent historically robust account that one can have of the most important

[00:29] figure ever to live in the history of the world, Jesus of Nazareth. And the resurrection is the is the pinpoint of

[00:35] my belief that Jesus did rise from the grave so that we may live.

[00:45] Turn your eyes upon Jesus.

[00:53] Look full in his wonderful

[00:58] face. And the things

[01:04] I offer will grow strangely

[01:10] dim in the light of his glory

[01:16] and grace. [Music]

[01:25] Oh soul are you weery and troubled.

[01:33] No light in the darkness you see.

[01:39] [Music] There's a life for a look at theior

[01:49] and life more abundant and free.

[01:56] Oh, turn your eyes upon Jesus.

[02:04] Look full in his wonderful face.

[02:12] And the things of earth will grow strangely

[02:19] dim in the light of his glory and grace.

[02:26] Sing it again. Oh, turn your eyes.

[02:37] Look cool in his wonderful face.

[02:45] And the things of earth will grow strangeely

[02:52] dim in the light of his glory.

[02:58] And so God, I look to you.

[03:05] I won't be overwhelmed. Give me vision

[03:13] to see things like you do. God, I look to you cuz you're where my help comes

[07:58] but holy trust in Jesus name.

[08:06] Christ alone, cornerstone,

[08:14] weak made strong in the Savior's

[08:19] love. All through the storm.

[08:24] He is Lord. Lord of all.

[08:37] When darkness seems to hide his face,

[08:44] I rest on his unchanging grace.

[08:51] In every high and stormy hell

[08:58] my anger holds within the limb.

[09:07] Christ alone corner

[09:12] strong we made strong in the Savior's love

[09:20] all through the storm. He is Lord.

[09:28] Lord Sing Christ alone. Oh Christ

[11:00] Can we sing? Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Oh, turn

[11:06] your eyes upon Jesus.

[11:12] Look for in his wonderful

[11:17] face, and the things

[11:23] of earth will grow strangely

[11:28] dim in the light of his glory

[11:35] and praise.

[11:40] Amen. Well, before we go any further tonight,

[11:46] we need to remember that when you wake up tomorrow morning, it will be September 11th.

[11:55] And uh that marks 24 years when our nation was attacked. And uh we do need to remember that. I

[12:02] fear we have forgotten that. So for some of us, we remember vividly

[12:09] where we were at on that Tuesday morning.

[12:14] And uh America is under attack. I think America

[12:19] has been under attack ever since that day. I don't think it's ever backed off. I think it's just worked in the shadows.

[12:26] So just remember tomorrow great loss of life in our nation and um

[12:33] resulting also of course in a great loss of life in what 14 15 year

[12:40] of war that was executed or prosecuted in

[12:46] Iraq and Afghanistan. And it's a day to mark some of the young people that are

[12:51] here with us tonight. I know that you weren't even born yet. But for some of us, we can close our

[12:57] eyes and it's in technicolor. And uh also obviously we've gathered

[13:03] together tonight uh to honor my friend

[13:08] and to talk about the dynamics

[13:16] and the questions. And I I really covet your prayers tonight because I I'm going

[13:22] to try to be in two places at the same time if that's possible with technology.

[13:29] But um tonight I just coveret your prayers because at at 8 o'clock from 8 to 10

[13:36] o'clock tonight I'll be joining the Fox News team in New York uh and

[13:43] we're going to be discussing uh the assassination of Charlie Kirk and

[13:49] and so we need to we need to ask questions. We need to answer questions.

[13:54] But one of the things that we want to look at at times like this

[14:00] is how does someone get to heaven?

[14:06] We would say in this context by believing in Jesus, trusting in Jesus. Yes. Amen. Repenting. Repent and believe

[14:14] on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. The scripture says yes, that is the answer.

[14:21] But by what means do we get to inherit such a wonderful

[14:26] gift that has been given to us? Jesus purchased heaven for us. And so the

[14:32] question is, how do we get there? Someone long time ago had a bumper sticker that said, "Everybody wants to

[14:38] go to heaven, but nobody wants to die." And death is

[14:46] that door that you have to go through. There is no way to meet Jesus Christ

[14:51] without going through the door of death.

[14:57] David said, "Yay, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil." A lot of people misunderstand what David was saying.

[15:04] When we suffer in this world, folks, uh, and we head toward death itself, that is

[15:09] the valley. There is no valley after death. There's only Jesus Christ and the glory

[15:16] of heaven after death. It's to it's to know him and to be absent from the body, the

[15:22] Bible says, is to be present with the Lord instantaneously. Stephen was being stoned to death there

[15:28] in Jerusalem. And be before Steven even died, the Lord gave him encouragement

[15:34] and he saw Jesus stand up. As he was seated at the right

[15:39] hand of God the Father, Stephen saw Jesus stand up. That's uncharacteristic.

[15:46] The Bible says Jesus is seated at the right hand of God the Father. But then Steven tells us that no, Jesus is

[15:53] standing. I saw him stand. And so we thus conclude that whenever

[15:59] God's children are passing, they see Jesus standing

[16:05] to meet them. to say something like this. Well done, Charlie.

[16:13] Well done, Charlie.

[16:22] [Applause]

[16:46] The verse on the screen for tonight is uh

[16:52] it's been my uh go-to today as media has been calling the news

[16:59] agencies have been calling and word travels

[17:04] and I was uh I was blessed by all the invitations and

[17:12] and honored to speak about my friend and to say things that yeah we knew each other well. Yes, I talked to him just

[17:19] yesterday and I had the incredible opportunity

[17:26] uh to have Charlie here so long ago. Uh but we hit it off. You know, when you

[17:32] meet somebody, you know that, you know, love at first sight.

[17:39] I'm not gay or anything, but I've had that with a with a few men I have that with. It was love at first sight with

[17:45] Tony Perkins. It was love at first sight with Frank Turk

[17:52] and it was love at first sight with Charlie. It's that cornia, the bonding of the

[17:57] spirit of the Holy Spirit within a brother that plugs you together, bonds you together.

[18:02] Nothing has to be said, by the way. I know women have a hard time with that. Uh us men, we just have to groan and

[18:09] grunt and we communicate a thousand words. And um it's enough for us.

[18:17] And um but you know those three men I just mentioned to you a moment ago

[18:22] um quite amazing to me because in the last 24 hours I I've spoken with all three of

[18:30] them. I just didn't know that one of them would beat me to heaven. I planned on being there before him.

[18:37] But this is um this is Charlie.

[18:48] Look at that hair. Look at Look at that age.

[18:56] And you know he he was smart then but he became wiser.

[19:06] that's in our podcast room. And we were He was doing his show here and

[19:11] brought his attack dog, which was always great.

[19:16] He always honored me. I I I always wanted I wanted to believe that I'm I'm too young to be his dad, but the reality

[19:22] is I'm way way old enough to be his dad. But he would always be so kind to have me sit next to him or with him. And but

[19:31] uh Charlie every uh every day or every other day, Charlie would uh text me a Bible verse.

[19:38] And uh he was always faithful to call and say, "Listen, I'm about to talk on something.

[19:44] I'm about to go out and speak about this particular issue. Where are we on this?"

[19:50] I love that. Where are we on this on this issue?

[19:55] Whatever it might be, Charlie, this is where we're at. Here's here's what the Bible verse is. This is where we're at.

[20:02] So, I'm gonna ask you guys to put the verse up on the Yeah, that's beautiful.

[20:07] Uh, but put the screen the the verse. I'm sorry. This is Charlie. Well done,

[20:13] Charlie. For I am ready already being poured out as a drink offering. This is the Apostle Paul

[20:19] speaking. And the time of my departure is at hand.

[20:24] Notice that when the believer leaves, we leave from here to go somewhere else.

[20:30] You don't depart somewhere without having a destination to go to.

[20:36] I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I've kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the

[20:43] crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day. and not to me only but also to

[20:51] all who have loved his appearing. The words of the great apostle.

[20:58] [Applause]

[21:04] And so today at what looks like

[21:10] in the worldly narrative, it looks like Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a

[21:16] professional killer, a very skilled marksman, knew exactly what he was doing.

[21:24] And um it looks like a catastrophe.

[21:29] So CNN or Fox asked the question,

[21:36] if you believe in God, why does this stuff happen? Really?

[21:42] In one of the interviews today, I said, you're asking the wrong question.

[21:47] I said, we should ask the question and putting it upon ourselves. Why are we allowing this stuff to happen as a

[21:55] culture, as a people? Why?

[22:02] [Applause] There is a danger. There is a poison in

[22:08] our culture that is godless and that has been trained up in our culture by the godless.

[22:15] And in in the interview today with um with Fox News, the reporter asked me a

[22:20] question and I I said, I I want to be a little bit sarcastic with you.

[22:27] When you talk about these kinds of things happening, why not? Why not stab a young woman who has fled

[22:34] from the Ukraine to come to the only hope in the world

[22:39] for safety and freedom and liberty, only to be stabbed three times in the neck

[22:45] and bleed to death while onlookers watched as a man who had been arrested 14 times

[22:52] was once again released from jail by a judge that was hired or made a judge

[23:00] as a DEI. high policy. That judge, in my opinion,

[23:08] that judge should be held for murder in the first degree.

[23:18] That's that's my opinion. I do know what Jesus will do. He's made it clear with

[23:24] such evil. But we need to be very careful that in all of these things we need we keep our

[23:30] heart tender and we and only do that if we keep our heart biblically focused. And so the question is, oh, how could

[23:36] how could a God of love allow such a thing? Wait a minute. God's made it perfectly clear. And let's not get too

[23:42] uh get too blind by our emotions. Jesus said, "Satan has come to rob and to kill

[23:50] and to destroy death. And anyone who practices death is

[23:55] a disciple of Satan. And it's a doctrine of the devil. And it's of deceiving

[24:01] spirits. And America today

[24:08] has lost its way because we have forgotten God.

[24:13] And that is not my opinion. These are the fruits and manifestation of a godless age. And when I said to that

[24:20] reporter, allow me to answer you with some sarcasm. Why not? Why not put a

[24:26] knife in a woman's throat until she's dead? Why not? Why not pull the trigger and extinguish

[24:33] anyone's life? Oh, and yes, Nancy Pelosi,

[24:39] the gun was the problem. Not the heart, not the evil spirit

[24:45] within an individual. It's those doggone guns that just jump off the table and

[24:50] shoot people. When are we going to learn? If we're going to outlaw guns, then we need to outlaw knives. And if we outlaw knives,

[24:57] we need to outlaw rocks. And if we outlaw rocks, we got to outlaw hands that can be used to strangle somebody.

[25:04] It's not the gun, stupid. It's the heart.

[25:11] It's the heart. And until the heart is changed,

[25:17] there'll be no change in our culture until the heart is changed. But the political woke side of our

[25:25] nation, which is now obviously, in my opinion,

[25:30] either covertly or overtly have launched a civil war against this constitution

[25:35] and this nation. It's okay if certain people die.

[25:44] They're the judge of that. They've taken the place of God. And so I said this, why not kill people? And how dare we say

[25:53] that it's wrong? What a hypocritical approach when we spend 13, 14, 15 years telling our kids

[26:01] in school, in university, you're nothing more but an evolutionary byproduct.

[26:07] You're an animal. There is no God. you're at the top of the food chain.

[26:15] And so we have manipulated and poisoned our culture to the degree that

[26:22] people now can take life without the batting of an eye. It's not God's fault. It's our fault.

[26:30] We need to start asking the question. We t we've Why is this happening? Answer. We've

[26:36] taught our kids to be animals instead of them being taught that they're precious in the sight of God and

[26:41] all human life is precious in the sight of God. That we need to honor one

[26:47] another and love one another. But the Bible's very clear, God's word

[26:53] is very clear that we are to have uh the rule of law and those who perpetrate

[26:58] evil are to suffer the consequences of their actions. And we've lost that. We have we have the evil protecting the

[27:06] murderer and we have good people deciding to be silent.

[27:12] And we need to decide if we're going to decide at all what what are we going to

[27:18] do? And here's what we say as believers.

[27:24] We pray. That's where we begin because we start in prayer. We continue in prayer. And we end in prayer

[27:30] until Jesus comes. we will pray. And so that's a given. You never stop.

[27:36] You never give up. You keep that dialogue with God open. But today,

[27:45] a man was silenced and everything about

[27:53] Charlie. Listen, I hope I remember to come back to what where I'm interrupting myself on. I got to tell you something.

[28:02] Charlie. Charlie might have been 31, almost 32. He might have been 31.

[28:08] But I watched him go from a teenage Christian. I don't mean teenage. I didn't know him as a teenager. He was a

[28:15] teenager in spirit, very smart, crazy smart,

[28:22] like soant smart. And memory, I've never seen anything like it.

[28:28] But if you followed Charlie over the years, you watched and you listened to him mature more quickly.

[28:36] That today Charlie's physical body ceased to exist today, ceased to function today. But

[28:44] Charlie went to the arms of Jesus today at about the ripe old age of about 90

[28:50] years of spiritual age. And I'll prove it to you. I can prove it

[28:56] to you. In some case, you could say that Charlie outgrew his body, so God brought him

[29:02] home. Hey, listen. I have never seen anyone sit in a hostile setting on university

[29:10] campuses, more recently at Oxford University,

[29:16] and be attacked, cussed at, spit at, uh, defamed,

[29:22] threatened, and he just sat there. Never once did he fire back. Ever. Ever.

[29:28] Charlie Kirk never said anything back to those asalants like why don't you drop

[29:34] dead or you'll find out someday when you're wait when you wake up in hell. He never said anything like I would say.

[29:42] He was a gentleman. He was winsome. And he stood in the lion's den and

[29:48] prevailed. Every single time he prevailed,

[29:56] Charlie Charlie loved the truth and he knew the truth could not be killed.

[30:03] And tonight we have a lot of young people that are here tonight. Good. I'm glad you're here. You know what I think? I think the the

[30:11] million plus Gen Z followers of Charlie Kirk or members of

[30:17] Turning Point USA. You know what I think? Another knucklehead reporter asked me today, "Who's going to take Charlie Kirk's who's going to who's

[30:23] going to uh step into Charlie Kirk shoes?" I said, "That's the wrong question." Again, you don't replace Charlie Kirk.

[30:30] Charlie Kirk knew that. That's why Charlie Kirk discipled and replicated

[30:36] believers and patriots so much across this land that it even spread to many

[30:42] other countries. and the young people today. Here's the answer. Here's what's going to happen.

[30:50] What Satan meant for evil, God will turn it around for good.

[30:59] And uh and so uh I think here's what's going to

[31:05] happen. I'm not a prophet. I'm a pastor of a nonprofit organization. That's as close as I can get.

[31:12] Could it be in the wisdom of God

[31:19] that in his infinite sovereignty, he's going to comfort Erica and he's

[31:26] going to take care of those kids? He'll take care of them for Charlie.

[31:35] But in the infinite wisdom of God, and don't miss this, none of you miss

[31:41] this. Don't miss it. On our own soil today,

[31:50] we witnessed as the world watched

[31:56] a martyr. A martyr. And not only a martyr, an

[32:01] assassined martyr. And you might say, Jack, you can't put those two things together because an assassin is dealing

[32:06] with political issues and a martyr, those are religious issues. So pick one.

[32:11] This is the uniqueness of Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk stood

[32:17] he stood in the in the culture

[32:23] and he preached truth and he gave truth and logic and reason because the God of the Bible is the same

[32:30] God of logic, reason. and Charlie contended

[32:37] and um the political left,

[32:43] the progressives, the woke world, the whatever they are,

[32:50] they hate they hated him. Charlie Kirk was the voice

[32:55] in one man that all of us should have been. Charlie went out and spoke like we know

[33:02] we should have spoken. Charlie has died and left us a witness.

[33:11] Charlie believed in what he announced. He believed in what he preached. He lived it out. And young people, listen,

[33:18] are you looking for something in your life that is so great

[33:25] that it's greater than you? Listen, I want to tell you a little lie. Satan wants you to think that your life

[33:31] is the end all to everything. That everybody in the world was created for your pleasure.

[33:38] And Satan has lied to you and has he's told you that you're at the top.

[33:43] No, you're not the top. The greatest thing that you can do, and

[33:49] Jesus taught us, serve your brothers and sisters. Wash their feet. Jesus said, "I'm

[33:55] washing your feet, and if I, the Lord, your master, is washing your feet, you

[34:00] ought to wash one another's feet." And here's the deal, young people today.

[34:06] What? Whatever you're living for, you better test it now. Because this world is so nuts, you could

[34:13] be dying for anything. But whatever you die for, is it worthy of your life? Is

[34:18] it worthy of your life to give up? Charlie went out there today doing what he did and what God had called him to

[34:25] do. And he was a patriot on one side and he was our brother on the other side and he had no problem bringing those things

[34:31] together. And you want to know what? If you would have plucked Charlie out of

[34:37] this 21st century and placed them back 250 years ago with our founding fathers,

[34:43] he would have gotten a high five from Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Sam Adams, and the whole lot.

[34:49] [Applause] Charlie. Charlie looked unique to us.

[34:57] He looked unique to us. Charlie was not unique when it comes to what it means to be an American.

[35:04] That God gave us our freedoms. That we've been endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights.

[35:13] God has done this. And Charlie lived a life

[35:19] that in 1770 or 73 or 75 or 76 or 1783

[35:25] or 1789 he would have been one of thousands if not millions.

[35:31] You know that he was a young man

[35:36] living out the foundation of this old world that we've come to know as America. But

[35:43] this America, young people, is not the America I was born into. I don't recognize this country. And I don't care

[35:50] about what happens in Washington or in Sacramento. If nothing happens in the house of God, if nothing happens in the

[35:57] house of God, and if revival doesn't break out in our own personal lives as individuals, it is the end of America.

[36:04] And it will be an end in short order because God has given us warnings one

[36:09] after another. And the question is, we're all going to die.

[36:16] And when I saw Charlie today, be shot out of his chair.

[36:26] It wasn't long after that I had this thought. This is me. I said to myself,

[36:34] "Well done, Charlie. Lord,

[36:39] if you might be so gracious in my life,

[36:45] folks, Charlie got up that morning. He went to the bathroom. He put on his clothes. He brushed his

[36:52] teeth. Charlie kissed his family goodbye.

[36:58] And he flew to uh Utah.

[37:05] and uh he was throwing out his

[37:11] TPUSA hats and 47 hats. He's throwing them out and doing what he does.

[37:17] Frank Turk was with him.

[37:22] And um

[37:34] it's just amazing that they were together. Um

[37:39] but what you're living for really? Are you ready to die for it? You ready to

[37:44] die for the porn you indulge in? Really? You could. You know,

[37:50] you ready to die for what? Pot. Really? It's that great, huh? You give your

[37:56] soul. You give your life. Sex.

[38:03] You You're You ready to die?

[38:08] The key in life, friends, is finding something to live for that's greater than you, a cause.

[38:16] And I personally believe that you don't replace Charlie Kirk with

[38:22] someone. I believe what's going to happen is that there is going to be not only a million

[38:29] Gen Z's that are already on Charlie's side and more, but there right now there are people viewing Charlie Kirk videos

[38:35] all around the world and and some of them

[38:45] and some of them are even his detractors, his haters. Think about the

[38:50] thousands of college kids over these last several years that stood in line in that auditorium or in that open field to

[38:59] ask Charlie or to argue against Charlie's worldview and how nice he

[39:04] treated you. How nice he spoke back to you. You were so rude to him. You cussed him out. You called him incredible

[39:11] words. And he looked at you and he smiled at you. He just smiled. And it wasn't sarcastic

[39:18] smile either. And then when you were done in your rant of idiocy,

[39:31] Charlie would most often say, "Listen, thanks for asking me that question. Remember Jesus Christ died on the cross

[39:36] for you and he loves you and he wants you to give your life to him." Next, next next question, please.

[39:43] He was an evangelist. He was a patriot. He was a Christian. He

[39:48] was my friend and I'm so proud of him.

[39:56] I'm so proud of Charlie Kirk. [Applause]

[40:12] He um we would have too much fun together. It was it wasn't too long ago when he was

[40:17] here and we did a podcast together. We did a real life network thing together and

[40:23] he always reminded me he said you know you really messed up my life because when you first had me for happening now

[40:28] we did uh the Claus Schwab world economic forum thing and he said I really didn't know what I was going to

[40:34] talk about. I didn't know anything about it. So I started studying it. Of course Charlie studies things a few hours

[40:39] beforehand and then he winds up knowing more than what anybody does who studied it in life.

[40:46] And if you were here that night, you can go back in our archives and you can see that Charlie just nailed it. And um two

[40:53] weeks two weeks after that, he called me up and he said, "Well, thanks to you, uh everybody's calling me now to come and

[41:00] give the World Economic Forum talk and I've become the World Economic Forum

[41:07] guy." And uh he would always just joke around and love like that. Charlie was

[41:12] always accommodating. I'm not I'm not eulogizing him right now because that's what we're supposed to do. I'm telling you the absolute Lord Jesus knows truth.

[41:22] There was nothing there was no shenanigans with him.

[41:27] And it wasn't very long ago where after

[41:33] Israel took out Iran in the nuclear in the attack of the nuclear bases, all the

[41:39] anti-semitism began to arise among the Islamic sympathizers.

[41:45] And Charlie was kind of caught in the middle a little bit. Some of his friends were either going over to the dark side

[41:51] or they started to waver. And he called me up. He said, "I need books. I need books. I need you to talk. I need I need

[41:58] a message on to answer all this question." I said, "Are you Charlie? I love you. You're crazy. You cannot This

[42:04] topic is not a one sermon listen. Here's the books of the Bible to read.

[42:11] go ahead and listen to these guys and watch out.

[42:17] And Charlie navigated those waters. And there were difficult times,

[42:23] but he never backed down. Whatever the Bible said, no matter what Charlie felt, the Bible trumped

[42:30] Charlie's feelings. And that's the way you and I are supposed to live. We're

[42:35] supposed to live just like that. And [Applause]

[42:42] And so I think we're going to see

[42:49] a tremendous rise. It may not be

[42:54] seeing on the surface, much like you can be in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and have no idea

[43:01] that while you're sitting on that ship that underneath your ship passed a devastating tsunami.

[43:08] It's below the surface. It's still going 200 miles an hour, but it's below the surface, but when it gets to the shore,

[43:16] it rises up. And I believe

[43:23] that Charlie Kirk has made

[43:29] the followers, the disciples, those kids, they're going to look down deep. And I

[43:35] want some of you young I want all of you young people here to look down deep. Ask yourself this question. This guy told me

[43:41] we need to stand up for our freedoms. Speak the first amendment. Use it. God gave it to us. Let's use it. He was an

[43:48] example of that with dignity and winsomeness. He did it.

[43:54] And I wanted to do the same thing. Right? If

[44:00] you're young people today, you you want to do the same thing. Here's the reason why. You have no other place to take

[44:06] your opinion. Think about this. It's time to surrender to Charlie's God and to how Charlie understood the founding

[44:13] documents of this nation while we still have a chance. Because it's on you. I'm

[44:19] old. Many of us are old. It's the young generation.

[44:25] You're going to be facing the growing rise of Islam in America. You need to

[44:31] get ready. You need to get ready to face,

[44:38] the demonic belief systems

[44:44] of this godless, I don't know what to call it. It's got

[44:50] so many things. I'm thinking about woke culture, progressive culture, godless

[44:55] culture, um, DEI culture.

[45:00] It just goes on and on. Leftist, communist, socialist culture.

[45:08] And don't lose heart at this. God is always working with the remnant. He

[45:13] loves the remnant. And so you might feel, listen, you might feel outnumbered, kids, but Charlie

[45:20] taught you to never allow your feelings to convince you that you're outnumbered because God's always on his throne. And

[45:26] again, as I mentioned that there's a lot of detractors that are probably or some people have never heard of Charlie Kirk before in the world or even in America

[45:32] possible, but in America there might be some young people and they who's Charlie Kirk? Who's Charlie? And they're

[45:38] listening and and Charlie as it were his voice speaks from the dead and he's talking to them on YouTube or any one of

[45:44] their post at TPUSA and kids are starting to think it might be going on tonight. Kids are starting to think, I

[45:50] didn't know that. Who's this guy? Did you hear what he said? And they're going to send it to their friend. This guy, that guy that just got shot, you know

[45:57] what he said? He said this. That's radical. Yeah, but it's true. You know, dude, it's true.

[46:04] Wow. We should probably check him out. I think Satan made a big mistake.

[46:15] But I I'll end with this for now. We're going to worship. We're going to pray. But um

[46:23] the scriptures teach us that the Lord has numbered our days. You know that God

[46:29] knew the day that you're going to be born. In fact, let's back up. God tells us in the Old Testament in Psalm 139,

[46:38] God knew the day that you were conceived. Now, that's getting personal.

[46:47] Did you know that? I didn't think about that. Man, when your mom got pregnant with

[46:53] you, that whole system

[47:00] was designed by God. And this collision of information

[47:09] so great that the depths of the observable universe and beyond pales in comparison

[47:19] to the technology of the human DNA.

[47:25] That's amazing. And it's you. You came you. It's you. That's who you are.

[47:34] And God in engineering all of these things

[47:40] knows the number of your days. He says he numbers them. Did you know that today

[47:45] was Charlie's day? It wasn't Listen,

[47:51] believer, you know this unbeliever, you you're not going to get this still, but it wasn't an accident. Today was not an

[47:58] accident. Are you saying that God did it? Ah, I didn't say that God did it. I'm telling you that God knew about it.

[48:04] Why didn't he stop it? Stop what? Stop what? For what?

[48:10] Stop what? For what? Isaiah 57 verses 1 and two, God says, "A

[48:21] man perishes and no one takes it to to thought. A man is taken off from the earth by

[48:28] death and no man considers it. that the Lord has removed him from evil.

[48:34] Folks, today Charlie was his day. You listen, Charlie, if it wouldn't have

[48:40] been at the bullet of an assassin, it would have been by heart attack. It

[48:45] would have been by car, would have been by airplane, it would have been somehow some way. You don't change your number.

[48:55] When I said, 'Well, Charlie, it's because he, like Paul, finished the days

[49:01] that were allowed to him. He finished them honorably, gloriously, faithfully,

[49:07] powerfully. He finished his race. He kept the faith.

[49:14] And the scripture says that

[49:19] the Lord will give a crown of righteousness. Give it. It's a gift. gifted

[49:25] to Charlie. And Paul said, "And not only me, but to all of you who have loved his

[49:33] appearing." Do you love Do you love the thought of Christ coming again? Listen. Yeah, I do.

[49:40] Listen. Let me let me ruin your night and let me bless your night at the same time. What

[49:46] if Jesus isn't coming for the next hundred years? And so I was hope I was hoping on getting out

[49:53] of here painlessly. Yeah, weren't we all? But I'm just pretending right now. What

[49:59] What if Christ isn't coming back for 100 years? You're going to die.

[50:04] How How do you want to die? Yeah. What' you say? Swift quick.

[50:11] Yeah, I agree with I I agree. Uh, do you wanna do you want to lay you

[50:17] want to lay suffering like my sister with cancer for seven years? I was talking to a friend last night on

[50:23] the phone who was given some bad news from her doctor and she's been battling just deep pain. You you see her, she

[50:30] comes to church, she comes in here, she looks completely normal and her level of pain that she lives

[50:36] with is unbearable. and she we don't know that she looks like she looks like she could jump over the fence.

[50:44] But the doctor said you've got to take new medication and it could be threatening to your life.

[50:51] We have people in this church, young people in this church that are I think of one particular dear brother Elijah

[50:57] who is suffering in his wheelchair at his young age

[51:03] and he has a death notice. They have told him how long he is going

[51:10] to live suffering.

[51:17] Charlie didn't suffer.

[51:24] Charlie breathed in. In fact, the last word out of his mouth

[51:29] today was the word violence. Did you know that?

[51:40] He said, "Everything's got to be done to stop violence." And the bullet entered his throat.

[51:54] Do you see the mercy of God tonight in Charlie's passing?

[52:01] He got hit by a round that would have dropped a bull moose or a an elk.

[52:10] That round was designed to drop an 800 pound animal.

[52:16] This individual delivered

[52:22] what is known as a kill shot. There was this was not a warning. This was

[52:29] an assassination

[52:37] and Charlie breathed in and the next moment he breathed out in

[52:42] the presence of God. He didn't suffer.

[52:52] Precious in the sight of the Lord are the death of his saints, says the

[52:58] scripture. And so I'm going to ask you please and now in this transitional moment to to

[53:07] pray, will you please intercede tonight for Erica?

[53:16] She's got two little ones to not only raise, but dog on it, they

[53:21] look just like Charlie. They're so precious.

[53:28] Pray for the entire staff at Turning Point USA. Turning Point USA global. They're

[53:34] everywhere.

[53:39] But folks, listen. In the spirit realm,

[53:45] there's never there has never been not a day where

[53:50] where we've been at war. In the spirit realm, we battle against principalities and

[53:56] powers and demonic forces and invisible worlds that manifest themselves in this

[54:01] physical realm. God's got the answer, folks. People who want to crit criticize God, remember

[54:07] this. God is the only one the answer. We got to get out of this world somehow.

[54:12] If it's not by rapture, it's by some other means. I want to go as quickly as possible.

[54:19] And I've often had that debate with the Lord.

[54:24] And then I remember him telling me in my heart. I didn't hear a voice, but I had this thought that ain't my thought. It

[54:31] was him. And he said, "Jack, don't worry about it. You can only die so long.

[54:39] You can only die so long and then you're dead. Is that not true?

[54:48] But here we we we've got the answer because Jesus gave us the answer. Friends, listen.

[54:53] Let's cry. It's all I've been doing today in between interviews. I think interviews have kind of kept me somewhat

[54:59] sane today. We can cry. We're supposed to cry. But

[55:06] don't lose hope. We're supposed to weep. We're going to wake up tomorrow.

[55:12] And it's going to hit us all over again.

[55:18] And uh that's okay. We're supposed to do this.

[55:23] Just don't do it without hope. Because Paul the Apostle told the

[55:30] believers in Thessalonica, "Let us sorrow, let's weep

[55:38] when someone dies, but not without hope. For if we believe that Jesus Christ died

[55:44] and rose again from the dead, he will also bring with him all those who died

[55:50] believing in Jesus so that we are not without hope."

[55:57] And so the dark enemy world can do whatever it wants to do.

[56:03] It cannot stop us because greater is he that lives within us than he that is in the world.

[56:09] [Applause] Shout Jesus

[56:15] [Music] in the streets.

[56:22] Jesus in the darkness over every enemy.
