Last week, a tragic event shook this nation and the Church—a dear brother in Christ, Charlie Kirk, was murdered for standing and speaking the truth. As I reflect on this, the Lord reminded me: when one member of the body suffers, the entire body feels the consequences. Just as a wounded finger affects the whole hand, so too does the Church respond when one member is hurt. The pain ripples through the body, calling each member to come together to heal, restore and come to order.
Yet, what I see is troubling. Some churches have chosen fear over courage, remaining silent in the face of evil. Division, fear, and silence are taking hold. Some are deceived by false doctrines, while others remain quiet out of fear—afraid to speak truth or confront what is evil. Because the enemy whispers lies: “If you speak up, you will upset someone. You may lose something.” In this way, fake shepherds are leading the flock away from the truth.
The Lord is calling His Church to rise—to call out sickness as sickness, to call out evil as evil. The Church is to mourn together, to repent, and to seek restoration. When God’s people repent and unite in Spirit, He hears from heaven and brings healing to their land. Now is the time for the Church to stand in courage and work collectively to restore harmony and resilience.
God is calling His people to rise as His army, fully equipped with the armor of God. We are to fight not with fear, but with truth—resisting the enemy’s schemes and snatching souls from the grip of darkness. This is a spiritual battle, a battle for freedom, a battle for souls.
The Lord reminds us that this is a moment of decision. We can choose to follow Him, pick up our cross, and work for His Kingdom—or remain silent and allow the enemy to gain more ground. The time is now for awakening, for mobilization, for courage, and for action.
Let us rise. Let us unite. Let us take our place in God’s army and fight for the souls of men. The time is now. The time is now. The time is now.
Take a moment to examine your heart. Where has fear held you back from speaking truth? Where has silence allowed evil to take more ground? The Lord is calling each of us to act—to stand boldly, to repent, to unite with the body of Christ, and to fight for justice, truth, and the salvation of souls.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, ignite Your Spirit within us. Help us to rise above fear and division. Unite us as Your body, and give us the courage to speak truth, stand for righteousness, and fight for the souls in bondage. May Your will be done, and may Your Kingdom advance through us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
