   Sunday's memorial service for TPUSA co-founder and CEO Charlie Kirk began   
   with soul-stirring and powerful worship and Christian hymns, and they were   
   peppered throughout the event honoring his life, because Charlie's life   
   was about love of God and love of country.   
      
   The artists who led worship are voices for their generation, and if you   
   don't know who they are, I recommend you look them up. Chris Tomlin is   
   probably the most well-known across the generational spectrum, for his   
   seminal worship anthem, "How Great Is Our God." Tomlin was joined on the   
   stage by Phil Wickham ("Great Things", Brandon Lake ("Gratitude"), Cody   
   Carnes ("Christ Be Magnified"), and Kari Jobe Carnes ("Revelation Song").   
   These Millennial artists have truly ignited fresh worship in an industry   
   that had lost its way, and awakened a hunger for the things of God in Gen   
   Z and Gen Alpha that is beautiful to see. As an old Gen Xer who saw the   
   rise and fall of contemporary Christian music, these new artists are the   
   real deal: they love Jesus, their music is spirit-filled and biblically   
   based, and they are committed to worship, not just performing 7-11 songs   
   with catchy hooks and a few Christianese words thrown in.   
      
   Which brings me to one of the songs that was sung during the memorial that   
   I am now convinced will be the anthem for TPUSA, and the movement which   
   Kirk's life and recent promotion to glory has unleashed across the world.   
      
   "The Blessing" was written by the Carneses and a band called Elevation   
   Worship. The lyrics are based in Numbers 6:24-25, which is the Aaronic   
   Blessing. The Lord instructed Moses to have Aaron and his sons, the   
   original Levitical priesthood, speak this blessing over the children of   
   Israel.   
      
   Then the LORD said to Moses,   
      
   “Tell Aaron and his sons: This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say   
   to them:   
      
   ‘May the LORD bless you and keep you; may the LORD cause His face to shine   
   upon you and be gracious to you;   
      
   May the LORD lift up His countenance toward you and give you peace.’   
      
   So they shall put My name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”   
      
   So simple, so intimate, and so profound. This four-line spoken blessing   
   symbolizes two things: One, God wanted his name sealed upon a generation   
   of people. He wanted them branded as His and his alone, that they would   
   bear his genetic mark. Two, he wanted to BLESS his people. This blessing   
   always evokes the image of a mother cooing over her baby, gazing into his   
   or her eyes, and imagining and speaking all good things over that child   
   and his or her future. That's our God.   
      
   Despite what the left and legacy media is seeking to misrepresent and   
   muddle, much of what Charlie Kirk embodied and spoke about was how one can   
   live a blessed life and be a blessing to ones' country. Blessed doesn't   
   mean an easy life. Blessed doesn't mean a life without pain or   
   complication. Blessed means a life that is marked by God and filled with   
   God's purpose. So, it was not just apropos that "The Blessing" was sung at   
   Kirk's memorial service, but prophetic. Part of the lyric that is repeated   
   over and over, not for lack of words, but to embed and massage truth, is:   
      
   May His favor be upon you   
   And a thousand generations   
   And your family and your children   
   And their children, and their children   
      
   What did Kirk consistently encourage for this generation: "Get married.   
   Have children. Build a legacy. Pass down your values. Pursue the eternal.   
   Seek true joy."

   - Charlie Kirk   
      
   Kirk consistently spoke the Aaronic blessing over this generation, and the   
   Sunday's worship which spoke it again over millions, and millions more to   
   come, was spot on and right on. But the lyrics in "The Blessing" also   
   speak to God's protection. In light of the attempt to chill conservative   
   and Christian speech embodied by Kirk's assassination, this song speaks of   
   God's presence surrounding us as we go forward in the purpose he has   
   called us to, as well as walk through our struggles and our persecution,   
   and work to fully live out the days that he has committed to us.   
      
   May His presence go before you   
   And behind you, and beside you   
   All around you, and within you   
   He is with you, He is with you   
      
   In the morning, in the evening   
   In your coming, and your going   
   In your weeping, and rejoicing   
   He is for you, He is for you   
      
   Here is the part of the irony and part of the prophecy: This song was   
   written in 2020 and released on March 8, 2020. Eight days later, President   
   Trump 45 would announce the campaign of "15 Days to Slow the Spread," in   
   order to combat what was a supposedly little-known new coronavirus dubbed   
   "COVID-19." We know the rest. The resultant lockdowns worked to unravel   
   our freedoms and gut a generation of youth. I believe the seeds of the   
   darkness and destruction we are seeing played out through this generation   
   were forged during that time. But as the scripture says, where sin   
   increased, grace increased even more: this song was also planted for this   
   generation, for such a time as this. With its rendition during the Charlie   
   Kirk memorial, it was given its full voice, full expression, and mantled   
   the generation that will not only carry on Kirk's work, but will carry   
   America forward into the future.

   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
