Charlie Kirk’s Legacy: A Cataclysmic Overflow
By Margaret D Mitchell
Week of September 28, 2025
As I watched media coverage the evening Charlie Kirk passed on September 10, 2025, the Word The Lord spoke to my heart was “cataclysmic.”
I felt such overwhelm from this loaded Word. It kept coming to me daily, bearing on me. I couldn’t shake it and I knew I had to search it out. But the grief, the vague, deep sadness also weighed on me like it did on so many of you.
I didn’t even know of Charlie Kirk until a few weeks before he passed. I knew nothing of his ministry, his business or his politics.
But when it all came down, I discovered that a few people close to me had been following him for quite a long time and at least one had donated to his organization.
These people knew that I was never particularly interested in politics unless I had to be, which is probably why they hadn’t mentioned Charlie to me.
The truth is that I’ve never felt a vocational calling to politics, only a civic duty when necessary. And even though I lived, worked in and enjoyed the beautiful DC Metro area for many years and always regarded myself as patriotic—largely due to my late military father—I knew I wasn’t there for the politics.
This may sound strange to some but when you grow up near DC, the political setting is just part of normal life. Yes, there was a sense that it was special, mainly due to the beautiful architecture, gardens and museums and the fact that it was the headquarters for the entire USA. But, frankly, other places interested me more, especially New York City.
Today, we’re a grieving nation but a hopeful one that’s being restored. One that’s turning back to God on revival levels. Largely due to God working through this one person I never knew but would like to know better.
We can acknowledge that God has already brought beauty from ashes and joy for mourning through worship, numerous salvations and the spreading of Christian community like wildfire . . . or like a flood, which is precisely what cataclysmic means.
Yes, a flood.
The speed in which God has already worked through Charlie and his passing is truly reflective of this Word, which also means “an inundation.”
Cataclysmic is from the Greek word kataklusmo (Strong’s #2627) and can be found in Luke 6:48 TPT, which says, “He is like a man who chooses the right place to build a house and then lays a deep and secure foundation. When the storms and floods rage against that house, it continues to stand strong and unshaken through the tempest, for he built it wisely on the right foundation.”
How cool is this as it pertains to what God did through Charlie?
It gets even better.
According to Dictionary.com, cataclysmic is equivalent to Greek words (kata- cata- + klysmós) that mean “a washing.”
This is what we’re witnessing right now: a cleansing of hearts overflowing in the USA and other parts of the world. A sudden turning of hearts by the mighty hand of God. An answer to prayer and Divine vision Charlie held in his heart that’s now manifesting in flood proportions.
Ephesians 1:18 NLT says, “I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.”
In this verse, “flooded with light” means “enlightened” (Strong’s #5461).
Where a natural flood can prove destructive, when God is in it, the water produces a Holy effect. God is now using what evil meant for bad for good in record time: The producing of much good fruit.
This particular deluge of Holy Spirit water is largely a result of all of those years of incremental breakthrough working through Charlie. We’re witnessing the effects of the washing with The Word. A working out. A rising river of new converts and recommitments.
How awesome is God, revealing Himself in these undeniable, cataclysmic effects sweeping through this country and beyond by His Spirit and through even more of His people forward?
This new season is just beginning.
Charlie surely knew that the very earth was formed out of water (2 Pe 3:5). And he now knows far better how God is influencing it even more.
So, let’s rejoice in this and remember 1 Peter 3:17-22 NIV, which says:
For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. After being made alive, he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits—to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.
Let us pray . . .
Dear Lord,
Thank You for Your Word that brings a sure and comforting light in the darkness. Help us to rise and align with You even more. Lead us into better, increasingly. Help us to prove ourselves as faithful stewards and friends. Help us to make You and Heaven proud. We lift up Charlie’s family to You, O Lord, and ask for Your grace upon grace and the peace that surpasses understanding. Guide them in their journey forward according to Your will, purpose and plan, making them a light to all nations as You continue to comfort and lead them.
In Jesus’ Holy Name,
Amen.
