Urgent Call for Intercession Over
Franklin Graham
Jennifer LeClaire is
now sharing her reflections and revelations through Walking in the Spirit.
Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
Billy Graham was a pastor to presidents and
certainly addressed the moral slide in America as far back as the 1950s, but
Franklin Graham seems to be wearing his dad's mantle on steroids.
The once prodigal son is not shrinking back
from hot button cultural and political issues—he actually pointed to Jezebel Scriptures in
the book of Revelation to describe the condition of America and is speaking bluntly about
transgender bathrooms—nor does he mince words about Islam.
Franklin Graham even dared to rebuke President Obama at
a time when other Christian leaders are embracing Chrislam.
Why is Graham so bold? Because he sees an Islamic
storm coming against America. Although he's not a Pentecostal spiritual warrior
who prays in tongues and binds devils, he has strong discernment and enough
boldness to go toe-to-toe with the principalities and powers that have targeted
Christians for destruction.
Franklin Graham is saying what most
politicians, pastors, news pundits and others refuse to say: Islam is not a
religion of peace.
Do Peaceful Religions Do This?
"For Muslims, peace
comes only through submission to Islam. When they speak of peace, they mean
submission to their religion," Graham says. "Worldwide, tens of thousands of men,
women and children have been slaughtered in the name of Allah,
Graham made it clear to Obama, who appears at
best a Muslim sympathizer, that followers of a peaceful religion do not cut off
the heads of innocent people in the barbaric fashion the world has watched
recently.
He told Obama that believers in a peaceful
religion do not kidnap 300 young schoolgirls as Boko Haram did in northeastern
Nigeria in April and reportedly sell them to men to be sex slaves.
Hoping Obama would get the point, Graham told
him men who practice a peaceful religion do not detonate bombs on an American
street during a marathon race to kill and maim innocent people.
He said no one who belongs to a peaceful
religion would even consider hijacking jet airliners and flying them into
buildings occupied by thousands of innocent people beginning their workday, as
happened in this country and in this city on 9/11.
"Mr. President—no
peaceful religion would tolerate, let alone practice, female circumcision,
require a woman
"Mr. President—a
peaceful religion would not condone and allow a father to drown a daughter in a
swimming pool in front of the family in the name of family honor because she
might have stayed out late in the evening with her boyfriend, Mr. President—why
haven't the 3.5 million Muslims in North America rejected this gross, barbaric
and despicable behavior by their fellow Muslims on American soil?"
Obama Gives Islam a Pass
The righteous are as bold as a lion (see Prov.
28:1). Franklin Graham fits that description in his unrelenting campaign to
expose Islam for what it really is—and for confronting an American president
who some are starting to wonder is sleeping with the enemy. In fact, Graham
told Fox News that Obama "only knows
Islam"
"His mother was married to a Muslim. His
father was a Muslim," Graham said during an "On the Record with
Greta Van Susteren" interview. "Then she married a man from
Indonesia. He was raised in Indonesia. Went to Islamic schools. I assume she was a Muslim. So his whole life,
his experiences have been surrounded by Islam. He only knows Islam. And he has
given a pass to Islam."
Graham is not afraid to speak directly to
Islamic terrorists, either. Graham is pointing to Romans 14:11,
Philippians 2:10 and Isaiah 45:23 in his latest response to Muslim
terrorism.
"The evil of ISIS really
should not shock us—it is fully in keeping with their ultimate agenda of
hastening a final apocalypse," Graham wrote on his Facebook
page. "God's Word tells us that
there will be a final battle one day, but it will result in the defeat of Satan
and all those allied with him. One thing is for sure—one day every knee will
bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of
God the Father." Amen.
IHOPKC's Mike Bickle last month called for believers to
support and pray for Graham as he has "boldly
yet tenderly taken a biblical stance in warning America in relation to Islam,
gay marriage and several other important subjects."
I am making an even more fervent call for
intercessors to rise up and pray for Graham day and night. The enemy would like
nothing more than to silence this mouthpiece for God who is confronting and
pushing back darkness in our generation.
Likewise, those who subscribe to anti-Christ
agendas are raging against his voice. Saints, let's make it a priority to lift
up Graham in prayer, wage spiritual warfare against the attacks on his life and
bless his ministry. And while you're at it, pray for President Obama too. Amen?
