PRESIDENT TRUMP PREACHES THE GOSPEL
On Good Friday, the Son of God was nailed to the cross, crucified, and he died. For all of us, it was a day of darkness, but it wasn't the end. By any means, it was not the end. On Easter Sunday, the stone was rolled away and the grave was empty. Christians everywhere rejoiced, and we continue to rejoice. Easter is one of the incredible days. It was the miracle in all of history, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was one of the great... It was the great miracle, I guess, right? The great miracle. He told his followers, "I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Because of the events of Holy Week twenty centuries ago, people from every nation, language, and background can take on any difficulty, press through any trial, and endure any hardship. With Christ, not one thing can separate humanity from the powers of God's everlasting love.

This is the only way to stop civilizational suicide.
It is critical that we take these steps to avoid annihilation.
Is it fair to say that Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson have blood from Bondi Beach on their hands? I'm afraid it is fair. If you don't think so, please read this from @NaomiRWolf. Lord have mercy. https://t.co/dEAu7u4d4w

🚨 BREAKING: Sen. John Fetterman RIPS Western nations for embracing Islamists in Palestine
"It's an absolute BETRAYAL...whether it's France, Australia, or any of these western allies, calling for a 2-state solution, when Hamas refuses to disarm and actively tries to kill Jews? I can't imagine why anyone would do that at this point."
"Antisemitism is a worldwide scourge and it keeps demonstrating itself to be DEADLY...just like Australia."

🔥 The City of God’s Jealousy: Why Everything Ends in Jerusalem
Empires have come and gone—Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, the Ottomans, even modern empires like Britain and Nazi Germany. Each had their day of glory, yet each fell into ruin. But one city has outlasted them all: Jerusalem.
Chosen by God as the place where He set His Name (Deuteronomy 12:5; Psalm 132:13–14), Jerusalem has been the prize of conquerors, the obsession of empires, and the focal point of prophecy. Destroyed and rebuilt, trampled and liberated, she stands today as living proof of God’s covenant faithfulness.
⸻
⚡ God’s Burning Jealousy ⚡
▶️ Zechariah 1:14 – “Thus says the Lord of hosts: I am exceedingly jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion.”
▶️ Zechariah 8:2 – “I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.”
⸻
⚡ The Cup of Staggering ⚡
▶️ Zechariah 12:2–3 – “Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples… On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it.”
➡️ This has never been fulfilled in history. It is still future. Jerusalem will become the epicenter of global conflict, drawing the nations into the final showdown of the Tribulation.
⸻
📜 Historical Proof
Every empire that lifted its hand against Jerusalem fell: Babylon, Rome, the Crusaders, the Ottomans, Nazi Germany. They all drank from the “cup of staggering.” History is prophecy’s preview.
⸻
Charles Spurgeon:
“Jerusalem is the center of the world, the focus of the nations, the throne of the great King. He who touches her touches the apple of God’s eye.”
⸻
❌ Amillennialism
“Jerusalem is symbolic. The cup of staggering was fulfilled spiritually at the Cross. The Church is the new Zion. Earthly Jerusalem has no prophetic future.”
⸻
✅ Refutation: The Word of God Stands
•“I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle…” (Zechariah 14:2) – still future.
•“On that day His feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives…” (Zechariah 14:4) – literal geography, not allegory.
•“Jerusalem will be trampled… until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.” (Luke 21:24) – a set end point in history.
•“If the fixed order departs… then shall the offspring of Israel cease from being a nation before me forever.” (Jeremiah 31:35–36) – God ties His promise to creation itself.
➡️ If God’s promises to Jerusalem can be erased, then no promise in Scripture can be trusted.
⸻
🌟 The Glorious Future of Jerusalem 🌟
When Messiah returns, Jerusalem’s destiny will be fulfilled:
▶️ “For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent… until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a burning torch.” (Isaiah 62:1)
▶️ “Many nations shall come and say: Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord… For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.” (Micah 4:2)
▶️ “Many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem.” (Zechariah 8:22)
▶️ “Great is the Lord… in the city of our God! … Mount Zion… is the joy of all the earth, the city of the great King.” (Psalm 48:1–2)
➡️ Jerusalem will be the world’s capital—the throne of King Jesus, the joy of the nations, the center of worship in the Millennial Kingdom.
⸻
⚡ Prophetic Insight
“I will enter into judgment with them… because they have scattered my people and divided up my land.” (Joel 3:2)
The jealous love of God means Jesus is not returning to Rome, New York, or Geneva. He is returning to Jerusalem.
⸻
🔥 The cup is filling. The nations will drink. The Antichrist will rise. But Messiah will descend, split the Mount of Olives, and reign.
God’s jealous love secures this eternal truth: Jerusalem’s destiny is glory, not ruin.
🚨 Breaking: Mayor of Netanya 🇮🇱, Miriam Feirberg, announced that one of the main squares in the city will be named after Charlie Kirk.
Netanya is one of the major cities in Israel.
The Cross Still Offends
The bullet tore the air in half.
A folding chair rattled. A Bible dropped. A young man slumped sideways beneath a white event tent, eyes wide with the weight of eternity.
It was supposed to be a conversation. A “prove me wrong” segment. But this time, rebuttal came not with words, but with a rifle.
Charlie Kirk didn’t get to finish his sentence.
I got the news just before prayer meeting. I contemplated this death as I prepared to lead the saints in prayer. But I didn’t feel like praying. Not tonight. My hands were still. My mouth was ready. But my soul was pacing. Angry. Grieving. Tempted.
Tempted to grow quiet.
Tempted to sit this one out.
Tempted to wonder if any of this, faith, boldness, public gospel witness, is still worth it.
Because hatred in this country isn’t simmering anymore. It is boiling.
Europe is trembling. Israel is burning. Rockets lit the sky over Gaza again. And now, here on American soil, the blood of a Christian apologist paints the pavement of a university quad.
What do you do with that?
What do you say when courage gets gunned down in daylight?
Charlie Kirk was no perfect man. None of us are.
But he had backbone where most of us don’t anymore. He was a believer. Unashamed. Unafraid. He understood that real conversations only happen when truth is welcome at the table. And the truth he carried most was Christ.
He brought the gospel into public space on purpose. Because the gospel isn’t supposed to stay in church basements and private Bible studies. It is meant to confront. It is supposed to offend. It was not made for safety.
The Word became flesh and they nailed Him to a tree.
So of course they came for Charlie.
Of course they reached for a gun.
This is what evil does when it runs out of arguments. It doesn’t reason. It kills.
That’s the part that catches in my throat. Not just the sadness, but the strategy of hell behind it.
The Enemy wants us afraid.
He wants us to see what happened to Charlie and backpedal.
He wants the rest of us to whisper, to soften the message, to believe the lie that faith should stay private.
But Christ never whispered.
He preached in temples, on hillsides, in courtrooms, at dinner tables.
And when they told Him to be quiet, He picked up His cross.
Not a symbolic one.
A real one.
Heavy. Bloody. Splintered.
When Jesus said, “Follow Me,” He didn’t hand out maps. He handed out crosses.
That’s what I remembered tonight.
I sat in our prayer space, surrounded by saints who had brought prayer lists and worn Bibles. And I realized I didn’t want to lead them in mourning. I didn’t want to lead them in mourning. I wanted to lead them into battle. Not with banners or fists, but with open Bibles and tear-stained prayers.
The kind of war that kneels in gravel beside the wounded, hands them living water, and refuses to leave. The kind that speaks both mercy and judgment without flinching. The kind Charlie died for.
This world is not a friend to grace. But grace isn’t fragile.
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?”
Paul didn’t leave that question unanswered.
“Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?”
—Romans 8:35
He piles up every fear you and I carry and then sets them on fire.
“No. In all these things we are more than conquerors.”
That means bullets don’t win. Slander doesn’t win. Prison bars don’t win. Death doesn’t win.
You can lose everything in this world and still walk into glory with your head lifted high. Because the love of God in Christ Jesus isn’t suspended by headlines or gunfire.
There are two worlds unfolding right now.
The one you see.
And the one you don’t.
One is filled with chaos. The other is filled with crowns.
I believe that when Charlie Kirk’s body slumped to the concrete, his soul stood upright in heaven. Not limping. Not silenced. Not stunned. But crowned.
He didn’t fall.
He crossed.
The great cloud of witnesses gained another voice.
And I wonder if Stephen met him there.
The first martyr.
The man who got stoned for preaching what the crowd didn’t want to hear.
The man who, in his final breath, saw the heavens open.
The only time in all of Scripture we see Jesus standing at the right hand of God, rising to receive one of His own.
I like to believe He stood again.
Are you afraid?
Do you feel the tremble in your spirit?
Do you wonder if it’s still worth it to speak boldly, to carry your Bible, to preach the gospel in a world that doesn’t just disagree but wants you gone?
You’re not alone.
You’re not weak for feeling that.
But you are called to something stronger than silence.
Don’t let fear become your theology.
The cost is high. But the reward?
The reward is Christ. And He’s not a concept. He’s a King.
Heaven is not empty.
It is filled with scarred saints who refused to bow to fear.
Men who were stoned.
Women who were burned.
Children who sang while the flames climbed.
And every last one of them arrived.
There is no difficulty that can cancel the promise of God.
There is no persecution that can derail your destination.
There is no sniper’s bullet that can separate a soul from Christ.
Your life is not measured by how long you live on earth, but by how much of it was spent pointing to heaven.
Paul said, “I have fought the good fight… I have kept the faith.”
Then he looked toward the reward.
Not a monument. Not a mention in history books.
But a crown.
Handed to him by the One with nail marks still in His hands.
So let me say this clearly.
We do not mourn like the world mourns.
We do not write eulogies dripping with sentiment.
We sing songs of resurrection.
We carry the banner of a Kingdom that does not tremble.
Charlie Kirk did not die for nothing.
He died carrying the same message you and I must now carry forward.
The cross stands tall.
The tomb is still empty.
And the gospel has not lost one ounce of power.
So pick up your cross.
Wipe your eyes.
And keep going.
The crown is worth it.
The King is coming.
And there’s still time to speak.
Even if they shoot.
Lord, give us courage.
And if not safety, give us joy.
For we carry not just the message, but the marks.
And You are worth every bruise.

So Israel is expected to surrender to Hamas & feed them even though Israeli hostages are being starved? Did UK surrender to Nazis and drop food to them? Ever heard of Dresden, PM Starmer? That wasn’t food you dropped. If you had been PM then UK would be speaking German!
I watched a man throw his Bronze Star in the trash.
It was 2019. Vietnam vet. Hands shaking from decades of bourbon and nightmares.
"This damn thing," he said, "reminds me of the worst thing I ever did."
I asked what he meant. His eyes went hollow.
"Kid stepped on a mine. Couldn't have been more than 16. Viet Cong, but still... just a kid. I was supposed to feel proud. They pinned this on me for 'heroic action under fire.' But all I see when I look at it is that boy's face."
He'd been carrying that shame for 50 years.
Here's what I told him—and what I'm telling you:
Your worst moment doesn't get to write your story.
Your abuse doesn't define you.
Your addiction doesn't define you.
Your divorce doesn't define you.
Your failures, your shame, your darkest secrets—they're not your identity.
The nail prints in His hands are.
The spear wound in His side is.
You're not what happened TO you. You're what HE did FOR you.
But here's where most Christians get it backwards...
They think identity in Christ means pretending the bad stuff never happened. They put on their Sunday smile and act like they've never been broken.
That's not biblical. That's pathetic.
Look at David—adulterer and murderer. God called him "a man after my own heart."
Look at Paul—terrorist who murdered Christians.
Christ called him to write half the New Testament.
Look at Peter—coward who denied Jesus three times when it mattered most. Jesus made him the rock on which He'd build His church.
The gospel isn't about perfect people. It's about redeemed ones.
That Bronze Star-throwing veteran? I picked it out of the trash. Handed it back to him.
"This medal," I said, "doesn't represent what you did wrong. It represents what you did right in an impossible situation. And even if it didn't—even if this was a participation trophy from hell itself—it still wouldn't define you."
"What defines you is what happened 2,000 years ago on a cross outside Jerusalem. What defines you is an empty tomb. What defines you is the moment the Son of God looked at all your shame and said, 'I'll take that.'"
He cried. First time in decades, he told me later.
Here's what the enemy doesn't want you to understand:
Every time you let your past define you, you're calling God a liar.
Every time you introduce yourself by your trauma, you're saying Christ's sacrifice wasn't enough.
Every time you live in shame instead of freedom, you're giving glory to your pain instead of your Savior.
That's not humility. That's rebellion.
Romans 8:1 doesn't stutter: "There is therefore now NO condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
Not "some condemnation." Not "condemnation on the weekends." Not "condemnation when you really screw up."
NO condemnation.
Period. Full stop. End of discussion.
Your identity isn't:
"I'm the woman who was abused"
"I'm the man who struggled with addiction"
"I'm the person whose marriage fell apart"
Your identity IS:
"I am chosen" (1 Peter 2:9)
"I am more than a conqueror" (Romans 8:37)
"I am fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalm 139:14)
The difference between those two lists?
The first one makes you a victim.
The second one makes you dangerous.
And that's exactly what God intended.
He didn't rescue you so you could spend the rest of your life talking about the pit. He rescued you so you could pull other people out of theirs.
He didn't heal you so you could nurse your wounds forever. He healed you so you could become a healer.
He didn't set you free so you could keep living like you're still in chains. He set you free so you could break other people's chains too.
That veteran? He started volunteering at the VA hospital three months later.
Why? Because he finally understood: His pain had a purpose. His scars had a story. His shame had been transformed into strength.
Not because he denied what happened to him.
But because he refused to let what happened to him define him.
There's a reason the enemy wants you focused on your past:
A person who knows who they are in Christ is unstoppable.
They can't be shamed into silence.
They can't be guilt-tripped into inaction.
They can't be intimidated into hiding.
They know their worth isn't based on their performance.
Their value isn't determined by their past.
Their identity isn't up for debate.
It was settled at Calvary.
So stop letting your trauma be your testimony.
Start letting your triumph be your testimony.
Stop introducing yourself by your wounds. Start introducing yourself by your victories.
Stop living like a victim. Start living like the overcomer you are.
The cross didn't just save you FROM something. It saved you FOR something.
What's that something?
To be His hands and feet in a broken world.
To be His voice to the voiceless.
To be His light in the darkness.
You can't do that if you're still hiding in shame.
You can't do that if you're still defined by your past.
You can't do that if you're still living like you're not enough.
Because you ARE enough.
Not because of what you've done.
But because of what He's done.
The nail prints in His hands prove it.
The spear wound in His side seals it.
The empty tomb declares it.
You are not what happened TO you. You are what HE did FOR you.
And what He did for you changes everything.
Who needs this reminder today? Drop a 🙏 if this hit different.
And if God is stirring something in your heart, don't keep it to yourself—share this with someone who needs to remember who they really are.
Because the world has enough victims. What it needs are more overcomers.
Trump publishes a long message he received from US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee:
“You don’t choose the moment—the moment chooses you. Listen to God’s voice and you’ll know what to do.” The message, he says, was unmistakably clear.
