Not Every Jesus Is the Real Jesus (testing spirits, political revival, & the gospel that actually saves)

#44 – A Response to Charlie Kirk’s Assassination – pt.2

Is the current movement sweeping America a true spiritual revival—or something else entirely?

In the wake of recent events, churches are packed, leaders are speaking Jesus’ name, and talk of revival is everywhere. But Mike and Revae Lawrence urge believers to pause and ask critical questions: Which Jesus are people proclaiming? Is this the gospel of the kingdom—or a gospel mixed with nationalism and politics?


In this timely episode, they explore:

✅ Why “Jesus plus anything” equals nothing

✅ The difference between revival FOR God vs. OF God

✅ How to test the spirits in this cultural moment

✅ Why God is not American (and why that matters)

✅ The danger of confusing political movements with spiritual awakening

✅ What true repentance and revival actually look like

This isn’t about being cynical—it’s about being discerning. We want to see genuine revival, but we must ensure people are meeting the real Jesus Christ, not a political figurehead or cultural Christianity.

⚠️ Key Warning: Paul said if anyone preaches another gospel, let them be accursed (Galatians 1:8-9). When the gospel gets mixed with politics, nationalism, or any other agenda, it loses its power to save.

📖 Scriptures Referenced:

  • Ephesians 2-3 – One new man in Christ

Whether you’re excited about what’s happening or skeptical, this conversation will challenge you to examine: Where is my allegiance? Am I discerning truth? And am I prepared to follow Jesus even if it costs me everything?
