Powerful stories of changed lives through the freedom and forgiveness of Christ. Watch the full Billy Graham TV special, with a word from Franklin Graham.
witnessing the power of repentance you
desire God to seek and save those who
are lost do we take advantage of the
opportunity to share the gospel with
people or we can just sit on our hands
and do nothing
jesus said I’ve not come to call the
righteous but sinners to repentance
you’ve got to be willing to repent and
tell God that you’re sorry opportunities
to share your faith are everywhere what
you can do right now to spread the
gospel our country has gone so far away
from God but I believe it’s the love of
God that brings men to repentance
thousands of Christians are taking the
stand to
and engage we need the Christian voice
in politics we could just pray that God
would lead us in the right direction
it’s all coming up next
you know repentance is not a popular
topic today and many people don’t want
to think that they are bad that they
need to turn go another direction they
want to think that everything is fine
and everything is okay when Jesus
started his ministry he warned people to
repent and to repent is to turn from our
sins to go another direction and if
we’re willing to turn and go a different
direction God will forgive our sins and
he’ll heal our hearts and we can have
that assurance knowing that our sins are
forgiven and that we are ready for
heaven if we don’t turn from our sins if
we don’t repent there is no hope we will
perish I’ve listened to my father many
times preached and he’s always included
repentance in every message you see
that’s part of the gospel how do you
have your mind transformed by repenting
of sin and receiving Christ into your
heart Jesus Christ came and he took our
sins and he died for our sins and if
we’re willing to confess our sins and
repent and believe on the name of the
Lord Jesus Christ that promise we will
be saved and it’s my hope and prayer
everyone who’s watching this will
confess their sins and repent and
believe on the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ
the Japanese society may be one of the
most difficult societies anywhere in the
world to penetrate but you see Jesus
gave to all of us the command to make
disciples of all nations all nations
that’s Japan we’re here in Japan to
preach the gospel and I believe that
there’s power in the gospel and who
knows there may be a young man or woman
who will come to faith in price this
week whom God may raise to reach Japan
in a mighty way
in the time ago I was just a kid but
already I had the thought of jumping off
a tall building and killing myself
my parents divorced when I was 10 which
broke up my family and we went our
separate ways it was one of the most
painful experiences of my childhood I
still remember the pain I felt
kubodera in high school I was a rebel
just partying and playing the thug
my thinking at the time was that as long
as I don’t get arrested it’s cool
um you know looking back now when I
think about what was tormenting me the
most crucial part the answer is simple
it was the guilt over the sins I knew I
was committing and I knew I had turned
my back on God I was just a sinner
without hope Jesus loves us just as we
are no matter how hopeless we think we
are Jesus died on the cross for sinners
like me I’m the one who should have died
for what I’ve done
not him once I accepted the reality of
his sacrifice I just cried and cried
Jamuna is a correct I decided to
dedicate the rest of my life to Jesus I
want to tell people who don’t know God’s
love that he truly loves them very much
first of all I want you to know tonight
that God loves you
but our sins to separate us from God the
Bible tells us that God so loved the
world that He gave His only begotten Son
sustained story will say oh this is a
must that whosoever believeth in should
not perish but should have everlasting
life if you come to Christ you’ve got to
be willing to turn your back on your
sins you’ve got to be willing to repent
and tell God that you’re sorry you see
God is patient with you is not wanting
anyone to perish but everyone to come in
repentance are you sure your sins are
forgiven if you’re not confident I want
you to get up out of your seat right now
I love Jesus very much and I love
telling people who don’t know him yet
about the wonderful love of God this has
been a great opportunity for me
geographica what that got to me was that
Jesus hung on a cross for the message of
God’s love will stay in my heart he left
a powerful depression
I came forward to ask God to forgive my
sins of all what resonated with me the
most is that God truly loves Japan honey
I came forward in front of God and in
front of everyone to confess my sins and
to surrender my all to God that
celebration has me fired up I feel
blessed to see so many people being
saved and I’m just filled with hope
I remember standing on stage and giving
the invitation to see Japanese people
confessing their sins repenting of their
sins and by faith believing on the name
of Jesus Christ that never gets old and
you realize this is the work of the Holy
Spirit of God it’s not Franklin Graham
it’s just God uses his word in this
power and his word there’s power in the
gospel you know we’re going to keep
taking the gospel we’re going to keep
preaching the gospel and we’re going to
go to many countries as many cities as
we possibly can and I just thank you for

issue point for our country coming up

Library experience an ongoing crusade
through Billy’s life and ministry and
peace with God net connects more people
than ever before to Christ sharing the
gospel online with millions the gospel
of Jesus Christ being spread life by
life soul by soul and grain by grain is
what the Billy Graham Evangelistic
Association has always been about
we’re proclaiming Christ so the entire
world can know Jesus
always good news you know a person has
to understand that we’re sinners our
sins separate us from God and the Bible
says all of us have sinned and we’ve all
come short of God’s glory and at the
wages the penalty of sin is death and
there’s only one who can take our sins
and that’s Jesus Christ and he took our
sins that he died on a cross and He shed
his blood for our sins and he was buried
for our sins but God raised him to life
Jesus Christ said dead he’s alive and he
can come into each and every heart and
to do that we’ve got to be willing to
turn from our sins and and trust him by
faith believing him and bringing him
into our heart to live God doesn’t want
us to perish he wants us to be saved
but he’s a just God he’s a holy God our
sins condemn us
you know at the Billy Graham
Evangelistic Association this is what we
do is preach the gospel we want people
to repent we want people to know the
truth and one of the tools that we use
is my hope every year we’ve done
analysis my father’s 95th birthday and
we’re going to continue to do it because
it’s a tremendous tool that the church
can use to convey and relate to the
gospel of Jesus Christ to not only to
the church but to the church and their
friends and their families and their
loved ones I think one of my greatest
desires is for people to come to know
Jesus the way that I know Jesus the my
hope film it captures people it draws
people’s attention and I believe it’s so
simple to present the gospel in this way
the individuals that come to the doors
of Teen Challenge have been bound and
entangled by alcoholism and drug
addiction and we see people living those
types of lifestyles find real life
transformation and change and true
freedom that only comes to the gospel of
Jesus Christ
students have been challenged to invite
those whom they are connected to who
don’t know the Lord so they can see a
value of a soul
ah
I invite a lot of people but the person
I’m looking forward to coming the most
is my friend Justin we actually started
working in up were together the time
Menem and the day before I came in a
team challenge I just remembered that
conversation of us just sitting in the
car talking I thought about him about a
month ago I was like ah she’s still out
there
juice I have an invitation I did send
him an invitation I don’t know if he’s
for sure going to come yet what’s his
name Justin Justin let’s pray for that
guy absolutely god I just pray that you
administer to Justin’s deepest needs

under obligation to respond to the
prompting into the voice of the Holy
Spirit and we have responsibility

precious Ministry of reconciliation or
any program yeah yet but I just got the
fall of Justin and are you serious that
he’s gone tomorrow

do in our time of fellowship and to view
the value of a soul we begin to make a
lot of money I thought this is it this
is the light I was not right with God as
scary
what should a profit a man if he should
gain the whole world and lose his own
soul is your soul secure in the hands of
God you’ve got to be willing to turn
from your sins and invite Jesus Christ
to come into your heart into your life
today is the day of salvation is mdns

no nation has ever improved morally
without a spiritual revival history
proves that point you know everybody’s
talking about elections that are coming
along
you know I’m absolutely convinced that
no matter who’s elected America is not
going to be saved unless we have a moral
and spiritual revive our country is in
trouble we have turned our back on
Almighty God and we need his help
without God there’s no hope
when nation under God
the only hope that I have for this
country is if the church stands up and
gets involved and I realize if we don’t
get involved now it may be too late
we have a boy
make a choice stand for what is right so
please get involved in the decision
America tour because if the Church of
Jesus Christ would take a stand then I
believe we have hope for America
Nehemiah got worried that the walls of
Jerusalem were destroyed and the gates
had been burned he was so distraught
over this
he prayed confessed his sins confessed
the sins of his father and he confessed
the sins of his nation his people and
God hurt him and God gave favor to him
and God sent him back and he rebuilt the
walls of Jerusalem and you see the world
in which we live today our nation is in
trouble our our moral walls of collapsed
and our gates of burned and we need to
build them back and I want to say right
now to you to the church we need to
stand firm we need to stand together we
need to rebuild the walls of this nation
they are crumbling they’re coming down
and it’s because of sin sin in the
church sin in our Community Center own
lives and we need to confess our sins
and repent and turn from those sins and
we need to ask God how he might use us
to rebuild the walls of this nation so
that we’re once again a nation under God
second Chronicles 7:14 if my people who
are called by my name will humble
themselves and pray and seek my face and
turn from their wicked ways then I will
hear from heaven and will forgive their
sin and heal their land
America needs healing our nation is in
trouble and I want you to just look here
for a moment
at what the decision America tour of
what we’re saying and what we’re doing
as we go from capital to capital to hold
a prayer rally for this nation
sometimes we kind of get stuck in our
comfort zones you know we get stuck
around church that we’re in and that’s a
problem we’re supposed to be out
touching other people and touching the
world that’s why I’m here he’s called us
to stand on what’s right if you’re not
willing to step out of your comfort zone
how can we change things it’s fine we
can be the hands and feet of God and
that’s why I want to be a part of
decision America tour I want to welcome
each and every one of you and I’m
courage that you personally care so much
about your state and about our country
we’re here today because we see that our
nation is in trouble our country has
gone so far away from God my kids are so
desensitized to violence to sex to
everything you know and you do your best
to raise them in this household that’s
Christian but then when they walk out of
these doors you know are they gonna
continue to uphold those values that
they learned in the house that’s
important to me
people say Franklin why are you doing
this I have 10 grandchildren I look at
my grandchildren they’re not going to
have the same country that I grew up in
they’re not going to have those same
opportunities there’s a sense of
helplessness because we don’t feel like
we could change anything in Nehemiah
chapter 1 the children of Israel are in
captivity in Babylon because of their
sins and because of their moral
pollution God heard Nehemiah’s
prayer and his prayer was to confess the
sins of his people of himself and his
father’s that we could just pray we were
pit and start searching out God in the
heart of God again that God will lead us
in the right direction for our families
for our country our politicians our
politicians would pray God would lead
them in the right directions and
we’ve gotten many six let’s just pray
out loud just pray all out and just ask
God to forgive the sins of our nation
our Heavenly Father we thank you that
you you’re our first father we ask that
you forgive our nation of our many sins
father we have turned our back on you
we’ve turned our face
against you we’re sorry Father forgive
us and we pray this in Jesus name Amen
we need the Christian voice in politics
we need men and women who are not afraid
to take a stand it’s easy to say that
you want to see change but actually
doing it is what I want my kids to see
and that’s why I’m running for school
board can you imagine if that the
majority of the municipalities in
America were controlled by god-fearing
men and women City Council’s how
important to have Christian City
Councilmember County Commissioners
school board’s think about the school
boards
not only am i running for school board
I’m a Christian that’s running for
school board and getting involved in
decision America tour just adds a whole
nother piece to that puzzle I’m
expecting us to go back to prayer I’m
expecting us to repent and follow after
Christ with all our hearts and all our
minds I believe that this is going to be
an initial point for our country that
you’re going to see a change not only in
our churches but in our families in our
communities in our schools when we look
back a year from now we’re going to say
that was it that was the day that I
accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior
that was the day that I stood up and
said I’m gonna be a better leader in my
community we need to go out there and
get involved and get in the process and
let our voices be heard and that we’re
not going to go away and we’re not going
to be silenced and you’re not just going
to push us off to the side somewhere
we’re going to stand up and we’re going
to let our voices be heard as Christian
who lead this nation back to really one
nation under God that can truthfully say
In God We Trust
god bless you see at the polls okay
thank you
first John 1:9 says if we confess our
sins he is faithful and just to forgive
us of our sins and to cleanse us from
all unrighteousness
you see Almighty God sent His Son Jesus
Christ from heaven to this earth to take
our sins he came on a rescue mission he
took our sins and he died on a cross and
He shed his blood he was buried for our
sins but on the third day God raised him
to life
Jesus Christ isn’t dead he’s alive and
he can come into each and every heart
that is willing to invited men to trust
him but we’ve got to be willing to turn
from those sins and believe on the name
of his son this is the message of the
gospel and this is what the Billy Graham
Evangelistic Association is all about
and this is what we’re going to keep
doing we will take this message to the
ends of the earth god bless you the
