An earthquake of significant magnitude creates tragedy to the area it strikes. An earthquake of significant magnitude in a specific area of an ocean does not have much of an impact on that specifica area UNLESS the slip strike nature of the earthquake creates a tsunami.
The tsunami can radiate outward in all directions and, depending upon the terrain leading up to a shoreline, have devastating consequences on the dry land masses it washes up onto. These are the undeniable physical effects on a great deal of the world that shares space with an ocean.
This past week, an earthquake of significant magnitude occurred when Charlie Kirk was assassinated. There were shockwaves that went out around the world. A tsunami of emotional pain impacted millions of souls. People that had no personal connection to him were assailed with a hurt that could not be logically explained.
The explanation rests in the spiritual realm. The Holy Spirit used the voice of this martyr to prick the hearts of millions of people that had become complacent in their walk with Jesus. That could be compared to the same effect John the Baptizer had on the people of his generation. Their hearts were pricked and they asked, “What are we to do?” John’s reply was, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!”
Repent does not mean to say you’re sorry for your wrongs. It means to change your direction. Turn back to the truth of the gospel, find out what God’s plan is for you and pursue it. Do not shrink from speaking boldly what the truth of God’s Word says. It has its own power and can defend itself but it needs you to speak it.
Over the next weeks and months we will be witness to a tsunami of the Holy Spirit moving through the young people of the world. They will rise up on the wave and ride it on the surfboard of the truth of God’s Word and His love. The enemy desires to stop it but cannot overcome the power of God’s truth.
Be blessed. Rejoice, for you are greatly loved!
