A day and a half after the assassination of Charlie a reporter questioned Donald Trump on the White House lawn. Reporter: "My condolences on the loss of your friend, Charlie Kirk. May I ask sir, personally, how are you holding up over the last day and a half, sir?" Donald Trump: "I think very good. And, by the way, right there you see all the trucks? They've just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House..." Trump goes on to elaborate further on the ballroom with no mention of Charlie. Either a real (Mob) Boss move, or a complete lack of real concern over Charlie and his wife and children, or both. We must not mistake Trump as a man of concern and compassion. Finally, Trump spoke at Charlie's memorial. He spoke that Charlie's position would be one of love, forgiveness, and wishing well upon your enemies (although Charlie supported public and televised executions). Trump said, "I don't. I hate my enemies." And went on to further say that he does not wish his enemies well. (Side note), Trump isn't THAT concerned with getting into Heaven.
I document this as an objective observation. My point is that Charlie was expendable to those he had hitched his proverbial wagon to. It appears that even his good friend, Pastor Frank Turek and Charlie's body guard - the men standing around Charlie - were giving out a flurry of gestures and signals brief seconds before Charlie was shot. Standard security measures of checking in with each other? I don't know, really. I do know that an official assassination takes weeks to months of precise and deliberate planning. An official assassination almost always comes with a false flag event requiring a patsy. I also know that CEO's and such are being assassinated with heightened frequency now, with zero reporting. Charlie's assassination, however, was high profile - a significant and further divisive attraction for all the world to see. A public and televised execution, if you will, by a gun he was in absolute support of. Charlie's assassination was a very useful, morally exempt, rotten, political tool for both the Right and the Left. A tool of appeasement for Israel, as well, it likely may be. There is nothing new under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 1:9) Charlie died at the hands of everything he believed in. In this he was a 'martyr' - just not a martyr for Jesus Christ.
Now I will get to what came to me as I was praying about my perceptions around Charlie, the event, and the disturbing effect it has had on the majority of the remainder of the online Christian community I have surrounded myself with over the past couple of years. (The 'community' of my association has dwindled exponentially over this past year.) Charlie's assassination is disturbing to them, of course. It's a reprehensible and grievous thing. But, what I am talking about is how their reactions to Charlie's assassination has been disturbing to me. I want to say I never really knew of Charlie before this event. I am learning of who he was and his influence. I am sorry and grieve over what happened to him and his young family.
I know I have come across offensively in my reaction to Charlie's assassination to a few of this Christian community who actually give me any time or consideration. They see my response as hate. I see it as love. I quickly and honestly addressed what looks like a disturbing compromise in the ranks, an apparent wavering of former convictions and declarations, a veneration at the level of elevating Charlie to sainthood, suggestions that he died as a martyr for Christ, he was a 'Servant of Christ', a sheep mentality and behavior as the majority of the Christian crowd has been swept up in a Charlie frenzy, and so forth. Former declarations and convictions against Zionist Christian Nationalism, NARS, and Christians involved in Left or Right wing politics seemed to evaporate into thin air. A willingness to compromise evolved. I witnessed panic and increasing drama in the ranks of those who know what the Bible says. Charlie's assassination has become a spiritual tool of bringing to light and exposing that which was carefully concealed in the dark. It has become a spiritual tool of further division and separation. Many see this as a bad thing. We are supposed to be united after all, right? Well, I don't see it that way. Division causes one to evaluate and choose a side. The fence belongs to the devil. The Christian community is being sifted... winnowed.
As I was asking God - again - to see the matter as He sees it, to have His heart on the matter, the thought came to me to find a point of personal identification with Charlie.
Charlie was a full on MAGA/Trump devotee. He believed in and endorsed the heretical Seven Mountain Mandate. He associated with false teachers and attended a mega church, enjoying popularity, influence, and wealth within the greater Christian community. He garnered a beautiful wife, and they portrayed their selves as having 'real love', and beautiful babies to show for it. I can safely assume they had a beautiful home. Charlie was richly blessed in his life's direction and endeavors! His target of influence was young people. Charlie was a rabid supporter of guns, and supported televised public executions. Just to name a few... He had a 'form' of godliness... I am not convinced as to the 'Jesus' and 'gospel' Charlie seemed to deeply love in great devotion. I don't trust it. It all appears as a wildly popular broad way among a large and particular political and religious culture. That's how it appears. Jesus help me to 'judge with righteous judgment'. I am diametrically opposed to every point I just mentioned. There may be more, but that is enough. The Bible warns against many false Christs, and Satan is a master deceiver, the father of all lies. His first line of offense is to work within the ranks of Christiandom.
Now for the exercise of finding a point of personal identification with Charlie: Charlie is young enough to be as a son would be to me. I believe God wants me to feel personal about Charlie, as God does. The word that came to me as my point of identification with Charlie is 'expendable'. Besides being a fallible human, like Charlie, I identify with being and feeling expendable. Not with the world necessarily, but with those who should be my own - my 'tribe' - Christians.
Let's take a look at what it means to be 'expendable'. If you are considered expendable, it means you are seen as unnecessary, unimportant, or replaceable and can be discarded, abandoned, or sacrificed without significant loss to a larger goal or purpose. This term applies to both people and things, suggesting that their presence is not essential and they can be given up when no longer useful.
Key Aspects of Being Expendable:
*Lack of Necessity: You are not essential to the situation or project at hand.
*Replaceability: You could easily be substituted or replaced by someone or something else.
*Sacrifice: You can be sacrificed to achieve a goal, such as in a military context.
*Low Value: Your importance is considered minimal compared to the overall objective.
*Abandonment: You could be gotten rid of or abandoned when no longer useful.
To the vast Christian community I have proven to be expendable. I have given from my poverty in amounts too small to warrant consideration to those in Christ in desperate plea who have much more than me. I have been called out, cursed, and shunned by those who claimed title of Brother and Sister - those who made declarations of Christian love. I was useful as the poor needy homeless grandma. I was a threat as the Child of God walking in His authority and grace. I was not supposed to share a vulnerability, share a dream, or stand my ground in the Lord. I was not to contradict, but to fall in line with the rest of what God showed me was a cult of personality. I was meant (and forcefully told) to stand down, stop talking, and take my place. I had taken pains to be vulnerable, yet share carefully (meaning under God's conviction and scripturally), honestly, and boldly, considering those of my association as friends and Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus - those of many who were eventually exposed as enemies in the ranks of Christiandom, where honesty and truth are not as appreciated as one might think they should be. Cult demands conformity and veneration of the primary personalities. Everyone jostles for a position of importance at the table. I concede. I'm happy to stay behind with the struggling stragglers.
Relationships have fallen away of their own accord because of opposing spirits. The devil is not opposed to the devil. He knows a house divided will fall. But, at the Name and presence of Jesus demons will flee. I have come to give thanks to God that relationships fell away. I still love and pray for those people nearly daily. They don't have to know that. It's between me and God. Yet, these are relationships that God did not want for my life. They were deceptive and demonically driven. I tell the reader these details in the event someone is going through the same type of spiritual battle. The devil is an ancient serpent, a master of lies, and he attacks from within the ranks. Consider Job's friends. That said, my point in all this is that I come away from my experience with the majority of Christian community (so far) feeling (and treated as) expendable. I sound like a victim, right? We all are, even and especially when we think we're not. We have been born into a fallen world where evil forces begin their attack at our conception.
Now comes the important question: Have I felt toward, or treated others, as if they are expendable (in or out of the Body of Christ)? Have I been dismissive of others? There is the important consideration which I will be bringing before the Lord. It may not appear to others this way, but I am concerned should I have a plank in my eye.
