To Liz Wheeler, Charlie Kirk wasn’t just a fellow conservative warrior, a role model, or a kindred spirit who shared her fire for truth and liberty.
“He was a friend. We grew up in this movement together,” says Liz.
While Satan’s forces and radical leftists are celebrating the death of Charlie, Liz takes heart in knowing that God works everything — even the most horrific and atrocious acts — for His glory. Charlie’s death will not be in vain.
“The lion in our country has been awakened, and we are about to see a cultural revolution in our homes, in our neighborhoods, in our cities, in our country, the like of which we have never seen,” she says.
“Charlie Kirk was normal, just like you’re normal. Charlie Kirk wasn’t radical. He wasn’t extreme. He wasn’t bombastic. He wasn’t even edgy. He was just a regular guy. He was one of us. And they killed him for that,” says Liz.
“How many people woke up this morning with the realization that … Charlie Kirk was killed not just for his views, but for our views?” she asks. “Given the chance, the left wants us dead too.”
“It’s the first time for many people that they’re realizing … the reality of the political enemy that we face, that it’s not Democrat versus Republican just bickering in Washington, D.C. There is a spiritual battle raging.”
Change like we’ve never seen before is coming to the United States, but how we handle our raw anger will determine what kind of change we see, says Liz.
We can either “descend into civil war,” which is exactly what the left wants, she says, or we can channel our righteous fury into the next “great awakening.”
While it’s gut-wrenching “to think about what comes next [because that] means that we have to move on without Charlie,” we must act because “we cannot live in a country where not only do these things happen, but where these things are intentionally created by our political opposition,” says Liz.
Two things must be done if we want to see a cultural awakening that results in positive change, she says.
One: “Root out the evil” that’s been intentionally allowed to fester in “colleges and universities” that have become nothing more than “indoctrination centers.”
“These evil ideologies that are turning politically apathetic freshmen into hardened revolutionaries by the time they graduate — this needs to be stopped. Colleges and universities who allow anti-Americanism, Marxism, and communism to be taught on their campuses need to be razed,” says Liz, clarifying that this means “[losing] federal funding” and prosecuting the professors and staff who champion these evil ideologies.
“Charlie would want us to raise our voices on campuses like he did [and] in our workplaces like he did, all across the country.”
Two: Instead of letting anger consume us, we must believe that what Satan intended for evil, God will use for good.
“If you’re anything like me, then you have a really hard time processing why evil things happen to really good people,” says Liz.
But as hard as it is to wrap her mind around Charlie’s death, she knows that while God never causes or desires evil things to happen, sometimes He allows them to because He has a “higher purpose.”
“One of the things that my mind obsesses over is what is that higher purpose? How do we move forward when we don’t know what that is?” she confesses.
Even though the extent of that greater good remains to be seen, we can trust that our heavenly Father has a plan and it’s a good one.
But we already have a glimmer of the good in knowing this: Right now leftists are saying “how ironic it is that Charlie died at a school shooting from a gun when he was an advocate for guns,” but “the real irony is that Charlie Kirk in eternal life is praying for those who did this to him.”
“I guarantee it,” says Liz.
