Biblical context is critically important to understanding God's word, so that you can apply it to your life.

Consider the context of scripture:

• God created the heavens, the earth and all living things.
• Among the angels, Satan rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven unto the earth.
• Satan is permitted to roam the earth for a time.
• Man, through disobedience, conceded their authority to rule the earth to Satan.
• The bible says that Satan is the god of this world.
• Satan has blinded the minds of those that don't believe; he DECEIVES the whole world… even the elect will be deceived.

Satan has 3 objectives:

1. To seize control of resources, God-created systems, and all living things (including humanity) in order to build a kingdom for himself.
2. To distort, imitate, and pervert God's laws, His systems, and His creations.
3. To impersonate God, disguised as an angel of light, so that humanity will bow down and worship him.

Satan uses good and evil to serve the lie. Jesus made it clear that His Kingdom is not of this world. He did not instruct us to retake dominion over this world. No one knows the time of Jesus' return to restore all things back to God. So, in the meantime, we are told to be witnesses to Jesus and to spread the truth: Jesus was dead and now is alive.

Many cannot grasp the depth of evil in the world today. Ignorance plays a part as many do not think or ask questions that challenge our understanding of this world. We prefer to accept comfortable lies over uncomfortable truths.

EVERYTHING in this fabricated world is a lie and built on deception to separate us from God and each other. Even the death and reverence of a person - Charlie Kirk - can serve Satan's lie.

Now that we have set proper biblical context, consider these questions:

1. Do you see Charlie's tragedy as a spark for revival and a renewed call to take dominion over our nation, OR do you view it as a sobering call to the authority of scripture above people, personalities and politics?
2. It is reported that thousands of people are returning to Christ. Do you believe people are truly turning to Christ in the departing of their sins, OR are they aligning with an organization, a movement, a man-centered organization that wears a Christian label?
3. Has Charlie's tragedy stirred an emotional frenzy that manipulates social constructs such as race, political affiliations and religious beliefs (aka polarizing differences), OR has his death deepened a collective hunger for the truth?
4. Is God calling His people to unite publicly in ecumenical prayer and healing services despite having difference doctrinal beliefs, OR is God leading His followers to separate from worldly religious practices and serve Him?
5. Did +100k people who attended CK's memorial service in AZ "independently" gather, OR could +100k people been massively influenced and corralled by viral social media videos surrounding his death… since many did not know or follow CK before his death?
6. Were the "collective" group of +100k people worshipping the Jesus from the Bible, OR were they worshipping a social and political Jesus?

Whatever your opinions are, you must be able to support it scripturally and in the proper context using God's word.

Know this contextually profound truth: the spiritual realm controls and has authority over the human realm. This means that humans are subject to, influences by and respond to spiritual authority and to what is taking place in the spiritual dimension.

Who is controlling what has recently happened, what is currently happening, and our response to what is happening? Even if you conclude that it is Satan, the Bible says:

• God works all things according to the counsel of His will;
• All things work together for the good of them that love God and have been called according to His purpose.

We were called to be free... our hope is in Christ.
