Give thanks to the Lord for the testimony and life of Billy Graham. Please pray for his family in their time of grieving and celebrate his life and witness.
“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!'” (Matt 25:21)
Billy Graham died Wednesday at the age of 99. The world renowned evangelist, who has been listed on Gallup’s most admired list 61 times since 1955 — more than any other person — passed away peacefully at his home in Montreat, North Carolina, after struggling with various health problems linked to his advanced age.
In a statement to The Christian Post, Will Graham, the grandson of Billy Graham (whose full name is William Franklin Graham Jr.) and the son of Franklin Graham, said:
“My grandfather once said, ‘One day you’ll hear that Billy Graham has died. Don’t you believe it. On that day I’ll be more alive than ever before! I’ve just changed addresses.’ My friends, today my grandfather moved from the land of the dead to the land of the living,” Will Graham declared.
“We mourn that he is no longer with us physically here on earth, but we don’t grieve as those who have no hope. My grandfather invested his entire life in sharing the promise of eternity through Jesus Christ, and today he had the opportunity to realize that hope himself, kneeling before his Savior and hearing the words, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.’ My family appreciates your prayers now and in the days ahead.”
Last week, Graham’s daughter, Anne Graham Lotz, gave an update on her father’s health during a conference at Moody Bible Institute.
“I’m not sure he knows that I’m here. He doesn’t track like he used to, but his mind is still clear,” she said….
Meanwhile, Franklin Graham told The Christian Post that he had “never seen him (Billy Graham) this weak in all of my life, so I know he’d appreciate your prayers.”…
Billy Graham was born Nov. 7, 1918, in Charlotte, N.C., and raised on a dairy farm. He graduated from Wheaton College in Wheaton, Ill. – home of the Billy Graham Center Museum and where he met his wife, Ruth McCue Bell, the daughter of a missionary surgeon to China. They were married for over 60 years until Ruth’s death in 2007.
Graham, a Southern Baptist, has preached the Gospel to more people in live audiences than anyone else in history. The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association estimates that he has preached live to nearly 215 million people in more than 185 countries and territories, and hundreds of millions of more people through television, video, film and webcasts. He has led hundreds of thousands of individuals to make personal decisions to commit their lives to Jesus Christ, according to BGEA….
Billy Graham is survived by his five children – Virginia, Anne Morrow, Ruth Bell, William Franklin, III, and Nelson Edman – 19 grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren. (Excerpts from Michelle A. Vu article in the Christian Post)

The sign will be Billy Graham’s death– Benny Hinn
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yMztNyZ9c4&feature=youtu.be
1963 prophetic word that was given by Kenneth Hagin Sr; tongues of Fire!!
Several Scriptural references are made to a very similar occurrence: :
1. Joel’s Army in Joel 2;
2. Ezekiel 9:4 those sealed in their forehead;
3. Revelation 7: the 144,000 Sealed in their forehead;
4. Revelation 12: The “Man Child,” who will soon rule the world with a rod of Iron.
5. Then after a 3 1/2 year trib, a 1,000 year rule of Jesus in his people [Millennium], will ensue.
6. Isaiah 11:6 & 65P25 the Loin & Wolf & Lamb will dwell & eat together.

BILLY GRAHAM DIES AT 99

100 Year Prophecy (William J Seymour); Maria Buelah Woodworth-Etter, prophecies. Approximately 1913 to 2013

Henry Gruver’s Vision [A prophet to the nations]: Trump to lead America: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCuFeP4eYWY
The reason President Trump seemed familiar to Henry is, because the church had been praying for a deliverer or a standard to be raised up for many years, & Pres. Trump will bring the two halves of leadership back together, as it was in the beginning, politics and religion will be one rule. This was destined, when the blessing Isaak placed on Pres. Trump’s linage, allowed him to throw of the rule of the Jacobites, and this what the church had been praying for, and the precursor to the Renaissance. The kingly robes, without the crown is the pre-election political realm, but with the election Pres. Trump was given the crown to be political leader, and then he return to the church [as long as the church prays and comes into unity] for his “GOLD Apostolic Mantle,” & his spiritual calling, to lead the church, with his gems and many areas of authority in the realm of miracles in the jobs, stock market, economic, & military recovery realm within the political, economic, religious, scope of his authority. At this time he will overcome the religions of atheism, & pedophilia by the blood of Jesus. Much of this will be possible, which includes the miracles, because Pres. Trump tells the Truth, and therefor he believes what he says, and as a result, what he says comes into manifestation, a crucial element of quantum physics, the Truth & Righteousness. Of course this is all dependent on the church interceding, praying, & supplicating for Pres. Trump and America.
President Trump has accepted his calling to lead the nation, church, and bring in the awakening. Now it is time for the church to repent and do her part, & follow Pres. Trump, to be part of the coming Renaissance:
1. Repent of opposing the cross, & instead preach overcoming, sanctification, and what bearing your cross means, which is the power of God unto salvation. Take up the original mandate from God Almighty, “Take Dominion over the Earth,” so that the church without spot or wrinkle can form, and Jesus can return in His people. Cast out the false apostles without miracles, which should be the proof of apostleship. 2 Cor 12:12 Indeed, the signs that indicate a [genuine] apostle were performed among you fully and most patiently in miracles and wonders and mighty works. AMP
2. Preach the gospel, the power of God Almighty unto all the earth, which is Jesus’ kingdom on earth identical to heaven. This is only “Good News,” to walk as Jesus did in his physical body. To do this the church must repent of sin, as in division, unbelief, powerlessness, and deception. 2 Tim 3:5 Those having the form of the awe [fear] of God, but are far removed from His power. Those who are THUS trust them out from you. [Hebraic roots bible]
3. Finally the church must return to the “Great Commission,” Matt. 28:19, to make disciples, of all nations, and repent of from making converts and then aborting these new baby Christians [this has authorized abortion in the world, & the church has had no power over it.]; an evangelist doesn’t have the expertise or calling to disciple. This requires that Everyone in the church participate in the reconstruction & return the entire body of Christ to its original teachings, that is everyone must participate [this means no more lay people laying around, looking for a king to rule over them]: 1 Cor 14:26 What is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. ASV/

I cannot express the impact you have had on my life and the lives of millions of others. I remember as a child watching you on tv and crying as you spread the word of God always wanting to meet you. I may not of had the chance here on earth but I will one day in heaven.
You have been blessed by the Almighty with a gift of spreading the word and touching so many lives as you help guide them to the Lord.
As we selfishly she’d tears for your presence no longer being here I also smile knowing you are where you’ve always wanted to be and that’s HOME!!
My heart goes out to your family for their sorrow and knowing they will no longer be able to feel the touch of your hugs or kisses. I pray God brings them comfort during this time and want to thank you for all you’ve given this troubled and lost soul who found comfort thru my troubles just watching you on tv and felt the love that you give each and every one.
I can honestly say you are one Evangelic Pastor I’ve never heard one bad word about, I mean NOT ONE! You will be missed!!
My beloved Christian father Dr. Billy Graham, your name and your gospel shall be heard forever and there is no other words to comfort for those who are time at grief and Sorrow including me! The Bible verses I Joseph chose for your entire family and your brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus are,,,
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 “Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.”
Revelation 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
In Christ Jesus; Joseph Zam.
I loved this great man of God who never failed at doing the will of God. My love and blessings to all of his family. I will walk daily with you ministry in my heart and continue to walk in the way of the Lord
This somehow seems symbolic as Dr R C Sproul another Christian Titan of these days died in Dec 2017. These verses come to mind and call us all to pray and seek God to come and invade this land and all the facets of America’s life. Amos 8:11 -“Behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD God, “That I will send a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD.” Judges 2:10- “When all that generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who did not know the LORD nor the work which He had done for Israel.” I Samuel 3:1 …” and the word of the LORD was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation.” Hosea 4:1 “Hear the word of the LORD, you children of Israel, for the LORD brings a charge against the inhabitants of the land; “There is no truth or mercy or knowledge of God in the land.” (See verses 2-5 also) and verse 6- “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.” Isaiah 59:14-“Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off; for the truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.” Isaiah 1:18- “Come now, and let us reason together,” says the LORD, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”
What a precious and Godly man he was! He was a wonderful example of how to live and worship. He and his lovely wife were an example to all of us. I like son, Frederick, but oh my, what a shadow to grow up under! Do we have anyone comparable to Rev Graham in our world today?
Praying for the family of Billy Graham. Always loved his preaching and messages of hope found in Jesus Christ! Our loss is heaven’s gain. He was used by God mightily.
Love and prayers to his children, grandchildren and entire family. We have lost a hero of the faith! Thank you Billy Graham.
We will never see another preacher like Rev. Billy Graham!!!!
Mr. Graham is having a grand reception into the kingdom!!! Thank you God for his life and love given in obedience to You! He left such a legacy! May we also be obedient to Your call on our lives.
Comfort his dear family Lord.
I pray for his wonderful family in their time of loss. Billy was a spiritual giant, with an impeccable testimony of a life well lived all the time honoring God! I pray that our Heavenly father will rise up many more men of God to continue the spread of the gospel to the ends of the earth. Thank you precious Father for allowing us to witness how a true man of God lives his life. Will deeply miss hearing his sermons! Viera
It was in 1955 when you, dear Dr. Graham came to Stuttgart/Germany and preached the gospel to us who had never heard it so clearly proclaimed. To the tunes of “Just as I am . . ” I went forward and accepted Jesus as my Savior.
I’ll be forever grateful for your ministry and the ongoing work you had planned through your magazine and other means of training young believers!
May the Lord comfort your family as they mourn your loss but have this assurance: Forever together in Heaven!
It was my honor to have met him at Word of Life camp in Schroon Lake, New York and later to have worked for the B.G. Spanish-American Crusade held at Madison Square Garden. So much to share in heaven….only one reason why we need eternity.
He was/is a Rock star. He was a rock to me in the world when sorrow abounded. I don’t know how I’ll live without that.
Billy Graham, I never get to meet you, but I always saw you as an spiritual father and I’m not sure about others, but I am honor to have seen your services several time in tv. I am so impressed with your love for Jesus and compassion for others that you and your dear wife showed all the time. The world will miss an amazing worker for the Kingdom of God in earth, a great pastor, but in Heaven there is a party because you went home! Praise the Lord Jesus Christ for your loving , faithful and beautiful soul!

To God be the glory for the things He has done! What a mighty good soldier in the army of the Lord God Almighty!
Luke 5:37-39 [he who has wisdom let him discern.]
37 And no man putteth new wine into old wine-skins; else the new wine will burst the skins and itself will be spilled, and the skins will perish.
38 But new wine must be put into fresh wine-skins.
39 And no man having drunk old (wine) desireth new; for he saith, The old is good.

Thank you, Mr. Graham, for your obedience to the call of God upon your life and carrying the Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ not only to our nation but also to so many nations of the world!
I know today was a wonderful day for you as you met Jesus face to face!
I will be in prayer for the entire Graham family as they mourn the loss of their beloved family member!
I never met him personally. But his influence has impacted my life. He is a great example of a Christian pastor who’s reputation remains untarnished. He was faithful to his wife, even though he travelled extensively throughout the world and she kept the home front fires burning. And in many ways, he taught us how to protect your marriage, even when away. Witness to two crusades, I can almost hear “Come, Just As You Are”.
A great man of God who always followed the Lord’s leading!
Thank you Mr. Graham for being an example of what a Godly servant is.
You have left a legacy…. I bet ur send off to Glory Land was EPIC!!
Prayers for the family.
You know his send off was so epic!!!!!
I believe he and hsi family prayed for this couuntry and stood for the best.
Now it is up to the next generation to remain faithful.
My morning will be spent in prayer as millions around the world morn
for the loss of a great man of God
He has left an enormous legacy! May the Lord comfort and strengthen his family.
There’s rejoicing in heaven, because one of God’s children has made it home. Well done, the good and faithful servant. May we each strive to tell others about the saving grace of Jesus as this great man did.
What an amazing man of God! I’m praying for his family!
He will be so missed. I lift his family up in prayer during this time of grieve. LORD JESUS surround your precious nailed scarred hands around this wonderful family of Billy Graham in the days and months ahead. In JESUS name
A true American Icon and a genuine Legend of the Christian faith has graduated into glory. What a tremendous blessing and encouragement he has been to the entire world! His bright light will truly be missed. Let’s all honor his legacy by spreading the truth of the gospel and sharing our testimony and faith with one person and praying the sinners prayer with them. What a party in Heaven is going on right now! Keep the faith and let your light shine!
Be was a true man of faith, I don’t know any other human being that accomplished what he did in his 99 years! It’s true what he said he has never been alive like he is today! We will miss him but we can rejoice he’s with Jesus and his lovely wife! The family is all in my prayers but remember you have the promise of seeing him again!
Billy Graham, you will be missed! God bless and keep your legacy alive and afresh until Jesus’ return.
Me Billy graham I’ve always loved to here you preach you will be missed
