A Precious Grain of Wheat Falls into the Ground: a Word to Consider on the Death of Martyr and Patriot Charlie Kirk
"...Listen, friends. What was meant to silence will only resound even louder in the days ahead. What was meant to scatter and divide will gather and unite... What satan meant for evil, God will turn for good and for His glory..." -Veronika West
BCN Editor's Note: Many tributes to the inspirational life of Charlie Kirk continue to pour in and circulate on the internet, and various news sites. One that particularly touched my heart was written by prophetic minister Veronika West of Ignite Ireland Ministry. Her word spoke to me because the Lord had quickened the same Scripture to me yesterday in the midst of the shocking news of Charlie's assassination. Veronika's message was posted on BCN's sister ministry's Facebook page; The Elijah List, yesterday. And I submit it now for your consideration. -Aimee Herd, Breaking Christian News
A PRECIOUS GRAIN OF WHEAT FALLS INTO THE GROUND
Veronika West
"Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain." (John 12:24)
I did not understand the urgency of this word until this very moment... Strange, indeed, yet not strange to the purposes of God. For the Lord will often plant a word in our hearts before a great shaking comes, that we might discern His voice in the midst of the storm.
So, yesterday and today, the Spirit of the Lord impressed John 12:24 into my Spirit. Again and again, the verse kept coming, rising up within my heart...
In light of the breaking news on the assassination of Charlie Kirk, I believe now that this was a living word coming from Holy Spirit in preparation for this very hour.
...A most precious grain of wheat has fallen to the ground... a God-fearing, bold, and uncompromising voice that rang out for truth and liberty. Cut down in his prime in but a moment of time, his precious life left this world.
To the natural eye, it is a loss that takes our breath away; it's the silencing of a messenger. But to those of us who perceive with the eyes of the Spirit, this most precious seed sown in blood, I declare, will bear fruit beyond our wildest imagination.
America weeps today... A beautiful family mourns a loving husband and a precious father. A movement is trembling, and a nation is reeling. But I hear Heaven declare, "From the ground that receives this most precious seed, watch and pray, for it will bring forth a harvest of great conviction, unstoppable courage, and a great awakening!"
Listen, friends. What was meant to silence will only resound even louder in the days ahead. What was meant to scatter and divide will gather and unite... What satan meant for evil, God will turn for good and for His glory.
Do not misunderstand me. Death is grievous. This act of violence is evil and wicked beyond comprehension, and we are called to mourn with those who mourn. Yet in the great mystery of God, such moments like these—unbearable pain and unexplainable grief—I believe can truly ignite what comfort, ease, and convenience never could.
Today a precious seed has been planted in the soil of America's destiny, and I hear the Spirit whisper, "Watch what comes forth. Watch and pray for what shall come forth in the days ahead!"
Let this not be an ending but the beginning... My cry in this moment of great devastation is "Let the grief of a nation turn into groanings of deep intercession and praise. Let the deep loss of this one voice truly awaken ten thousand more voices that cannot be silenced. Let this 'grain of wheat' falling to the ground become the catalyst for a great turning, where America's heart is broken, humbled, contrite, and made tender again before the Lord. For unless the grain dies, it abides alone, but in its dying, it multiplies." (Image: Veronika West-Facebook)
May Charlie Kirk's life, and now his passing, be gathered into God's eternal purposes to produce a great harvest that shakes and awakens a nation to its true Kingdom identity and destiny, and that draws a nation back to the only One who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life!
