On Tuesday night, Franklin Graham announced he will embark on a 50-state tour of the United States next year. He made the following announcement on his Facebook page:
America is in trouble. At 62 years of age, I’ve lived long enough to learn that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans can turn this country around; no political party or politician is the answer.
The only hope for this country is Almighty God and His Son Jesus Christ.
Next year I am planning to travel to all 50 states to conduct prayer rallies—we are calling this the Decision America Tour. I want to challenge Christians to boldly live out their faith and to pray for our nation and its leaders. I want to encourage Christians to get out and vote, and to cast their ballots for candidates who uphold biblical principles.
I want to strongly urge Christians to run for public office at every level—local, state, and federal. We will not be endorsing any political candidates, but I will be proclaiming the truth of God’s Gospel in every state. More details will come later. I hope you will start praying with us now.
You can pray to God Almighty for a move of His Holy Spirit right now. And do so without ceasing.
SFF
God bless Franklin Graham.

THEN Civil War is the answer?..... I agree...
The odds of everyone turning “JESUS” WILL NOT HAPPEN..
Even most christians are nominal ones..
WAIT!... OH!.. he’s not for revolution?....
Well he’s a FOOL.. a delusional utopian...
Much like whats in charge in the black hole called the White House..
PITY!.. I was hoping for some good common sense..
Oh! well..
I ;like him better than his dad; he is even stronger in his faith and does not bow down to anything against Christ being THE only way to salvation.
He's telling Christians to pray for the Nation and to vote for Candidates who uphold Christian values.
Do you have a problem with that?
Reverend Graham is a true leader and a true man of God. I’ve seen precious few who unashamedly defend the faith. And bold is the word for him. I wish the Catholic Church leaders, including the Pontiff, would have led. Now I hope they’ll at least actively participate.
He is right on - at this point, nothing short of God’s intervention will save this country, much less return her to the leader of the free world.
Count me in Reverend Graham.
No, he’s not a fool, but doing exactly what a Christian should do, which is to call Christians to prayer and call the unsaved to Christ. That’s what God wants us to do, and he knows exactly how it’s going to turn out. God is bringing every last person to salvation who are to come to Jesus, and when the last one comes in, the judgement outlined in Revelation happens.
God’s purposes are not directed to saving America, but to saving people. As far as a “country” is concerned ... God’s focus is only on one country in the world, as his primary objective, and that is Israel. All other countries, including America are insignificant, in and of themselves ... and only rise to some very low level of significance, in terms of their actions and relationship to Israel.
When judgement comes from God, it will be at the time when all nations are against Israel. God will judge all nations, including the USA. And when the Messiah of Israel comes to earth again, he sets up his one-world government and rules all the nations of the world, from Jerusalem, with a rod of iron.
Your focus may be on the USA, but God’s focus is on judging America, which means things will be getting a whole lot worse than they are now, and not better.
Try decaf dude.
YES!!!!
I just went to this link to sign up for e-mail updates on this endeavor. And yes, they do ask for donations. They will never get the millions the politicians get for their campaigns, but just remember folks. The Gospel is free, but, shipping and handling isn’t. Anyone who has a problem with this, contact Rush, Sean and O’Reilly and tell them to drop all of their sponsors and broadcast “by faith”.

A ‘fool’; ‘a delusional utopian’?
I’d say he’s got quite a realistic handle on the situation. The problem is a spiritual one.
Have you noticed how few people even realize they’ve all but lost their liberty, their rights, much less fight for them?
Most people have either been bought out, have sold out, or are down and out (quote from Gerald Celente), and either cannot fight or are unwilling to fight. Too many are soft in the belly.
It is delusional to think these same people will get up and fight with the vigor and endurance necessary to set this country right.
So disappointed in your post.
Reverend Graham deserves and has earned respect!
You have called God’s servant a fool.....
....you really need to repent!....REALLY!
We are to pray, but that will not bring relief to America, as that’s not God’s objective. Prayer is what Christians should do, along with telling everyone who is unsaved the Gospel of Salvation from Jesus, the Messiah of Israel.
We are to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, which means the time that the Messiah of Israel comes back to earth to take over control of the world.
We are to pray for the “coming kingdom” ... that one-world government that Jesus, the Messiah of Israel brings to the earth.
Luke 11
1 Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”
2 So He said to them, “When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 And forgive us our sins, For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one.”
— — —
“Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.”
That comes when Jesus, the Messiah of Israel returns to earth and takes control of all the nations of the world with his one-world government!
There are different leaders for different things and different times. I pray that this effort by Graham will be able to turn things around with an outpouring of prayer and motivating Christians to become involved in politics. And if that doesn’t work, then perhaps God will raise up a leader motivated to lead a revolution - perhaps you.
Well he’s a FOOL.
You just made a FOOL out of yourself.
Do you have a problem with that?
Christian values is way too nebulous...
It’s like “love” can mean almost anything..
IF he’s not supporting Cruz... he is drooling..
Even Cruz is not best of the best... but he’s all we’ve got currently..
