Franklin Graham Speaks To Standing Ovation Crowd On Capitol Hill-National Day of Prayer


A standing ovation greeted preacher Franklin Graham as he took the podium at the National Day of Prayer on Capitol Hill on Thursday to give the keynote address.

Jesus Christ, and Franklin Graham, have been in the news a lot these days, thanks to Obama and his Islamic friends revoking the Rev. Graham’s participation inside the Pentagon National Day of Prayer fiasco.

But no one, or anything, not Obama or the Pentagon, or Islam can stop the plans of the one true God from going forth. Jesus said:
  • I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:18
Graham did not back down from criticism that he had disparaged Muslims, telling the crowd that he is a Christian minister who preaches the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Regarding the judge who ruled the National Day of Prayer unconstitutional, the Rev. Graham said that

‘God Used Judge Who Ruled National Day of Prayer Unconstitutional ‘to Accomplish His Purposes’
The great Jewish Apostle of Christ, Peter, reminds us in I Peter 4:12-16

12Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

13But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

14If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

15But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

16Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

Sometimes,bearing the cross God has called us to bear and rejoicing is not easy. But, just as Jesus bore The Cross of shame and rejection, He looked beyond its shame and saw the joy that would be His. We too can know this same joy and know that God has a higher purpose for all of our trials if we keep our eyes on Jesus, and look beyond the trial and rejoice.

    Franklin Graham's Warning !

    Franklin's warning of coming persecution of Christians echoes what his mother Ruth and father Billy have clearly stated. Re Ruth, see search engines including Google for "Letter from Mrs. Billy Graham." To see what Billy has written, Google "Famous Rapture Watchers - Addendum."
    Since Franklin blamed the Obama administration for his own National Day of Prayer snub and persecution, and since he accused "Christian" Obama of "giving Islam a pass," readers can get some rare insights into Obama and his fellow travelers by Yahooing "Obama Supports Public Depravity," "Obama Avoids Bible Verses," and "Separation of Raunch and State."
    To see some exceptional in-depth studies of coming persecution, see two unique books by media figure Joe Ortiz entitled "The End Times Passover" and "Why Christians Will Suffer 'Great Tribulation' " - both published in the US and UK by AuthorHouse. Also Google "America's Pretrib Rapture Traffickers," "Edward Irving is Unnerving," "Pretrib Expert John Walvoord Melts Ice," "Pretrib Rapture Secrecy," and "Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty."
