Charlie Kirk Wanted to Fill a Stadium for a Turning Point Event; His Funeral Is Doing Just That and More. – RedState


Charlie Kirk’s funerals have just started in a stadium in the crowded state in Glendale, Arizona, but it is already clear that the Kirk and Turning Point USA family allow God to use this tragedy for good.
Independent journalist Nick Souteor was at the stadium at 4 am and reported that “tens of thousands of patriots” were already online.
🚨 Incredible! It is only 4 am here in Arizona, and the Charlie Kirk Memorial line is now a sea of tens of thousands of patriots
It’s historic!

The stadium itself was filled with full capacity more than an hour before the start of the event, and the Diamond stadium of the neighboring desert was filled.

And we are in it! 🥵😁❤️ The main stadium was full … We are in the overflow space of the desert desert. Not quite the same but happy to have a seat anyway. pic.twitter.com/izuzn2vnji

Plans filled with mourning people were heading for Arizona for the service, and on it, passengers sang all the verses of “Amazing Grace” while the plane landed.

During the week and a half since Charlie was removed from us, tens of thousands of people testified that their faith had been renewed or that they have started to frequent the Church again because the testimony of Charlie Vivant spoke to their soul. Many of these people also went to Arizona, as Scott Adams’ friend did.

The text message he captured reads as follows: “Yes. I felt a call after looking at his movement. I also felt a renewal of my faith. He was special and in death, he testifies.”
Riley Gaines, an ambassador of Tpusa whose campus speeches were targeted by violent leftists, flew to Arizona on his expiry to honor Charlie and support the Kirk family.
🔥wow. Erika Kirk sent SMS to Riley Gaines on a gift for her next baby in the morning before assassination and @Riley_gaines_ Stolen from Tennessee to Arizona on its due date to be at the Charlie Kirk memorial.

Another pregnant woman, my friend Natalie Sauer, traveled from southern California to be there.
The number of smiles and hugs here is overwhelming.

I wonder how many babies will be appointed after Charlie in the coming months?
Tpusa left the signs in the stadium seats with a pencil sketch of Charlie and the verse from Isaiah 6: 8, “Here I am, send me.”
So proud to be here to celebrate the memory of a man who cannot be replaced. @ Charliekirk11 pic.twitter.com/iahjba9zyn

My friend Tim (a great Carolinian from the North) and his family, who travel to the country in a motorhome this year while he studied at home, went to Phoenix for funeral. They did it early, and Tim observed that many participants knew all the words in all the songs of worship interpreted. Wow.
I do not know how much they let in (60k ??) but half know all the words to the songs. https://t.co/drevu0e1c4

As dark as this time in American history, it is undeniable that God works to change hearts and to remind us of the power of love similar to Christ.
Turning Point Action COO, Tyler Bowyer, who has been with Charlie and Turning Point from the start, said Charlie wanted to fill a stadium for a rotating event, but also had a goal to bring the Holy Spirit to a Trump rally.
Charlie Kirk has always wanted to fill a stadium for a rotating event, you did it Charlie.

You did both, Charlie. Always change my life on the other side of the veil, and I have the feeling that will occur for the decades to come.
