Saw it
Thank you, Sundance.
Thank you, Reverend Graham.
Thank you, Lord, for sparing our lion.
Franklin is looking and sounding a lot more like his father. Great prayer.
Boy, he sure does, doesn’t he? I noticed it more than ever last night. Just identical.
I noticed this also! As a teen I was privileged to attend several Billie Graham revivals in Fort Worth TX at the Will Rodgers Coliseum. A dynamic speaker and powerful presence.
Thank you Sundance, finally saw Reverend Franklin Graham’s speech tonight thanks to you. It was great.
I have been hoping for years that someday I will have a conversation with him to let him know how his father, Reverend Billy Graham, helped me see the Eternal Light on the day of his funeral, and what the experience was like 😃 😍 🙏 💖 .
I have posted it here once before, will do it again now. When Reverend Billy Graham passed away, I knew he had been an important historical character, but did not know enough about his life, so I did some research about it. Surprise, while going to college at Temple Terrace here in Florida, he had a spiritual experience in 1937 (like I did in 2016), at an area which is now a small park, the Billy Graham Garden/Preservation park, right by the college.
I decided to go to that park on March 2 2018, the day of his funeral. I felt that God had invited me to go there 😃 🙏 💖 . It was a long round trip in my car, about 400 miles. The park only has a parking spot for 1 vehicle, and only one bench to sit down on. When I got there, surprise, I was the only person there. I explored all the details of nature there (like Billy Graham did in 1937). Then I sat down on the bench, and said a prayer for him and all the good people who have gone to Heaven after they died.
It was a dry but very cloudy day. Beautiful. I had a tiny speaker- God knows that real music is very important and inspirational to me, so I turned on a musical number named Lux Aeterna (Eternal Light, the version by Gyorgy Ligeti). Surprise- the sky remained extremely cloudy, but all of a sudden the Eternal light started to shine through, with its level going up and down along with all the parts of the musical number. On the three crescendo (where the sound level of the musical number goes up bigtime) parts of Lux Aeterna, the Eternal light got so bright it looked like an atomic bomb had gone off in front of my face. That would have scared most people, but I felt amazed and happy that God was showing the Eternal Light to me 😃 😍 🙏 💖 . When the music was over, the light level came back down to the way it was before the music started.
After the event was over, I felt I had to look to my right. There was a young lady to the right of the bench, looking forward, waiting for me to get up. We did not need to speak to each other, we both knew we had been called there by God. She was waiting for her turn and her event. I got up, got into my car, and slowly and quietly started to drive away. I looked back at the bench. She had sat down on it, she was waiting for her event. I stuck my arm out of the window, gave her a thumbs up, and waved goodbye at her.
One of the things I hope for after our bodies die, is that our souls meet and merge long enough so that we can completely share our events with God on that day 😃 😍 🙏 💖 .
The lyrics of Lux Aeterna translated into English:
May perpetual light shine upon them, o Lord, with your saints forever, because you are pious. Grant them eternal rest, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
A link to the song, for my fellow Treepers. If you listen to it, I hope it serves as an inspiration to help you have an experience like the one I had on the day of Billy Graham’s funeral.

What a beautiful story, the Lord touched you deeply! My family followed Billy Graham, he was considered an authority on God. My oldest brother wrote to him with questions a couple years before he died at 21, he answered. He was a very good man and servant of God.
Beautiful. Powerful. Thank you for sharing.
May God continue to bless and watch over President Trump and his family, and our nation.
Such a beautiful and strong prayer. When I watched it again just now, I was struck by the power of him having everyone stand. It focused the people and gave the reverence due to God its rightful place. 🙏🏼🇺🇸🙏🏼
AMEN.
Franklin Graham is a Freemason, as was his father. He’s not someone you want to be around or listen to.
I have problems with some of the things his father did and said, but I’ve not heard that Franklin is a Freemason, do you have any evidence of that that you could share with us?
His father was not, neither is Franklin Graham.
The Name above every names, The King of Kings and Lord of Lords’ Name, the Name at which demons tremble, the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ was exalted by Pastors Franklin and Lorenzo, that made me happy.
A welcome sight.
I had a problem with him ending his prayer saying “MY” Lord and Savior and not “OUR” Lord and Savior. I don’t think his father would have been afraid to declare Jesus Christ Lord of all, whether you are that religion or not, He is the true Savior.
With the abuse the Grahams have gotten from non believers,
giving their life to preach the gospel I am sure they believe
Jesus Christ is Lord of all. 🕊
I thought the use of “my” was simply to not offend those with different beliefs, to keep the door open to all.
Exactly my point, I do not agree. All the other pastors did not do this. I think it is a disclaimer.
I think it isn’t..
