The Charlie Effect: Assassination sparks revival

By Abdul Masih —

The Sunday after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, 2,000 adults showed up to fill Harris Creek Baptist Church’s 1,100-capacity sanctuary for the early service at 9:00 a.m.

“People are interested in Jesus right now,” said Elder Jonathan Pokluda.

Just like immediately after the 9/11 terror attack on the World Trade Center twin towers, the horrifying evil now with the incomprehensible murder of Charlie Kirk appears to be drawing people to Jesus.

“I’m seeing all over social media this ignition, if you will, for spiritual movement,” says Sammy Lopez, teaching pastor at Honor Church in Orlando. “Individuals that have never been to church are going to church. Individuals that have not been going to church for a while are going back to church. People that never owned a Bible are buying Bibles.”

If the extreme Left hoped to push America their direction, it appears that they not only failed but actually played into the hands of God. They have started revival.

IsZometingWong on TikTok said she was disturbed by people’s reaction to Kirk’s death. She consulted the Bible for the first time in her life.

“I never knew anything about Christianity or Jesus,” she says. “But yesterday… I opened my husband’s Bible. The page that I opened up to was the verse John 8:32. And it said, iThen you will know the
truth, and the truth will set you free.'”

RobbyWood89 also on TikTok showed off his suit, which he says he was always too poor to ever own before. His wife purchased the $300 suit for their anniversary, making him feel proud, he says.

“I ain’t never had nothing like this before in my life,” Robby says. “I didn’t know Charlie Kirk, and something else that I’ve never done before in my life is believe in God. I’m going to wear this suit to church. I’m going to go to church. I’m going to try to be a better father, husband and leader for my family.”

PrettyPolitics101 also on TikTok said she went to church differently than in the past, when she attended only on special occasions.

“Today I went to church looking for God. I went to church to surrender myself to him fully,” she says. “I brought my kids and my brother, and every single seat in there was filled and then some people were standing.”

It’s being called the Charlie Effect.

“There’s never been a line to get into church until today,” still another man says on social media.
