I believe God is telling us clearly what to do–about the news we hear, the actions we take, and about Israel.
The assassination of Charlie Kirk has sparked the Great Awakening believers have expected for many years. The gospel is exploding across our nation, revival is breaking out, and more believers are proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ boldly, as Charlie Kirk did and as we must all do (Colossians 4:4). Believers are carrying God’s message, His love, and His power into the world, not just churches.

WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE NEWS WE HEAR. Leftist, liberal mainstream media fails to report the truth, tells outright lies about conservatives, and opposes all that is of God. How to hear the truth of what God is doing? STOP LISTENING TO MAINSTREAM MEDIA. Why? Listen to a lie long enough and you believe it. Instead, get your news from conservative, Christian-based sources like these listed below.
- Victory News – VICTORY Original Programming (govictory.com) 30-minute newscast, Monday-Friday, 5 p.m. Central Time.
- FlashPoint (Available at Flashpoint You Tube and a growing number of other platforms) 60 minutes of God-led commentary on current issues, with church, political, business, and government leaders as well as prophets. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 7 p.m. Central Time.
- Other conservative news sources like Epoch Times, The Western Journal, and the Gateway Pundit
Excellent resources for praying with fellow believers include:
- givehim15.com. A daily 15-minute call to prayer about current issues, with Dutch Sheets.
- Intercessors for America – An on-line community of believers interceding for our nation. The website has multiple resources as well as opportunities to join in prayer via email and live phone calls.

WHAT ACTIONS TO TAKE. It is a privilege to be alive right now. We have a God-ordained part to play in what happens. As individuals we can pray, vote, contact governmental representatives, run for office, educate ourselves and others, and engage the world around us with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Pray and join a prayer call. Become a regular user of the resources listed above – GiveHim15 and Intercessors for America. Join or start a prayer group at your local church.
Vote, urge others to vote, and help with the voting process. A large percentage of registered conservatives and Christians do not vote. Vote, remind everyone you know to vote and help out at the polls. Honest poll workers are needed to help prevent another stolen election.
Contact your governmental representatives as issues arise. Government, at all levels, works for US and they do pay attention to phone calls, letters and emails. Call the Capital switchboard 1-202-224-3121 to contact your senators and congressional representatives. Contact your governmental representatives and urge support for God’s solutions to the abominations of the radical left. Million Voices reports: “Elected representatives have told us the impact of a mailed note from a single constituent in their district is equivalent to representing hundreds of voters back home.
An easy way to send emails to your elected representatives on today’s issues is www.millionvoices.org – Click on the “Use Your Voice” button, select your issue, complete the form and they will send emails to your representatives. And sign up for monthly updates on your issues.
Run for office. Decisions made by school boards and city councils matter. Ordinary citizens who never before considered running for public office have made significant differences in their communities. That is one small example of what you hear on conservative news sources that you will never hear on mainstream media.)If you cannot run for office yourself, support candidates with your money, your vote, your voice, and your service on campaigns.
Educate ourselves and others. For decades the enemy has silenced believers–and many, many pastors–with the lie that we must not get involved in politics. Was Jesus silent about the wrongs He saw? Did He say and do something about it? Who is our example?
We have a civic responsibility to be informed about current issues and to speak up about them. Use the resources listed above and stay up-to-date.
And explore the excellent training program in Biblical citizenship available at Subscriptions | Patriot Academy. Patriot Academy has made its 8-week Biblical Citizenship classes free. This is information we all need. In this class you will “learn how to apply Biblical principles to the world around you and preserve religious and civil liberty.” Click on Find a Class | Patriot Academy
Educate yourself in the Bible and be prepared to share your faith with people God puts in your daily path. We all are called to be “ambassadors for Christ.” (2 Corinthians 5:20). That requires educating ourselves through diligent Bible study, prayer, and preparation of our hearts. In your daily life, are you looking for ways to talk to people about Jesus and lead them to Christ? If not, friend, I beg you: prepare yourself!

WHAT TO DO ABOUT ISRAEL. At no time in recent history has Israel needed prayer more than now. Believers are commanded to pray for Israel. How to pray? Psalm 122:6-7 tells us:
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: ‘May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.’
For specifics on how to pray, join the Jerusalem Prayer team. Home – Jerusalem Prayer Team and follow Intercessors for America. Today’s News – Intercessors for America (ifapray.org).
You can help by speaking up. Call, email and send letters to your governmental representatives. Call the Capital switchboard 1-202-224-3121 to tell your senators and congressional representatives that America must support Israel NOW. You can find email and mail addresses on individual websites. Your calls, letters and emails do make a difference.
You can give to Israel. Many organizations support Israel. I donate to and trust www.jerusalemprayerteam.org. and Kenneth Copeland Ministries (Call 1-877-281-6297 or visit KCM.ORG/GIVEISRAEL.)
In Genesis 12:3 God says of Israel: “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” I have set my mind to be among those who bless Israel.

What God is doing in His beautiful world is far more exciting than we can ask, think, or imagine! And He longs for you, yes YOU, to be part of His mighty army.
