As America and every other Western nation turns from God, corrupts the Word of God, and does what is right in their own eyes, forsaking the LORD and His Word and ways, other parts of the world are seeing great numbers of people coming to the LORD Jesus Christ.

Such as it is, such as it will be in these last of the last days before the Rapture, before the revealing of the Antichrist and his false prophet and the coming Great Seven-Year Tribulation, a time on earth as the earth never witnessed before.

There is much talk of “revival” in America, but it’s mostly just that. Talk. Much talk of young people in droves coming to the LORD, but it’s all relative to the overall population. While more young men are showing up in churches in America, and more Bibles have been sold — know this — there was a mass exodus from churches and a decline in Bible sales for years.

Need to be awake before being revived. Need to be conscious, active, animated, and alive before being revived. We’ve become so numb and desensitized that we think if we flatline and there is no sign of life, someone will come by with the defibrillation paddles and push them onto our unmoving chest, our unbeating heart, and bring us back to life. Why wait until then? Why wait until “Code Blue,” and it might be too late?

What about today? What about you? What about that? Huh?

America is in decline. America needs an awakening the likes of which it has not seen since the 1730s, when this nation was still colonies of England. Over 290 years ago. We talk a lot. We actually do less when it comes to repentance, faith, submitting to the LORD, reading the Holy Bible, living the Holy Bible, and so on.

We’ve become more political than spiritual. More worldly than holy. More on the wide road than the straight and narrow, leading to the narrow gate — where few will enter.

I guess we don’t believe this, right?

So it appears.

Otherwise, we would think, behave, speak, live, and do differently than what we have been, right?

Time, time, time has come today…

Time is growing short.

Time is all we have until it runs out.

It’s more precious than diamonds, rubies, gold, a huge retirement account, or a vault full of Benjamins.

What are we each doing with the time the Good, Gracious, Loving God blesses us with?

Other places are doing something. A great big wonderful something.

Be something if that something happened here, or in England, Scotland, France, Germany, Israel, Spain, and so on, wouldn’t it? Let it begin with me. With you. And let an individual flame catch others on fire for the LORD, for the Word of God, for a life of faithfulness and service to Him, Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiach, Who Sacrificed as He did for us.

So many falling away, turned to fables — lies — with their itching ears, loving pleasure, self, seeking all the false teachers and false doctrines in America, in the West — while in other places they are hungry, thirsty for the Way, the Truth, and the Light leading to LIFE.

Imagine that. How far we have come to sink so low. Negative? Pessimistic? No, just the facts. Just reality. Let’s stop pretending and living in denial and delusion and begin to be objective, shall we? Otherwise, there is no real hope of making a turn for U.S. to the Way, the Truth, and the Light leading to LIFE!

How about we all begin to pray daily for all the lost and in darkness in America? Rather than getting ready for a political rally, sitting down to the dung daily news, how about we all pray daily for every lost and in darkness person, group, organization, company, politician, there is in America? Let’s start there. And let’s begin to speak. To live out by example. Let’s truly have a burning flame of light within us and be salty. Forget all the propaganda about salt being bad and unhealthy. There is NO LIFE without SALT! There is NO FLAVOR without SALT! There is no preservation without salt.

Yum, yum…be salty while you go about setting hearts and minds ablaze for the LORD Jesus Christ.

Time’s a wastin’. And what is most important to every person on earth?

ANSWER: Where they will be spending eternity.

Go, Belarus, go! Now, how about right here in America? In the West? Complacency hasn’t been working, has it? Delusion isn’t working, is it? How about we try something else then? Like the objective reality of how we must repent and turn back to God.

Franklin Graham Says, “God Did A Miracle” In Belarus After Largest Evangelical Rally In Nation’s History

MINSK/BUDAPEST (Worthy News) – Evangelist Franklin Graham said Sunday that “God did a miracle” in Belarus after he held what organizers described as the largest evangelical Christian gathering in the country’s modern history and met authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko.

Graham recalled that more than 15,500 people attended the “Festival of Hope” evangelistic rally at Minsk’s Chizhovka Arena over the weekend, with additional crowds gathering outside after the arena reportedly filled beyond capacity.

“Something like this has never happened before in the history of this country,” Graham told supporters after preaching at the event organized by nearly 700 churches across Belarus.

The American preacher explained that he thanked Lukashenko “for allowing the evangelical churches in this country to come together to hold an evangelistic event in the capital of Minsk this weekend.”

Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, noted that attendees arrived “on buses, trains, and cars from every part of the country.”

THOUSANDS HEAR GOSPEL MESSAGE

He added that many people responded to an invitation to “turn from their sins and put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ.”

Graham also highlighted what he described as an extraordinary 1,300-member choir representing 43 cities and villages, accompanied by a symphony orchestra and local artists.

Referring to Romans 6:23, Graham reminded the crowd that “the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

He also recounted the story of a man who reportedly planned to end his life earlier in the week but later attended the rally and “found true hope” through faith in Christ.

“For the past week, Christians across this country have been praying 24 hours a day, and tonight we saw God answer those prayers and move in a mighty way,” Graham stressed.

TRUMP AND LUKASHENKO TIES

During his visit, Graham also met Lukashenko, who has ruled Belarus with a firm grip for more than three decades and faced repeated Western sanctions over human rights abuses and his alliance with Russia during the war in Ukraine.

Lukashenko asked Graham to convey “warm greetings” to U.S. President Donald J. Trump and remarked that Belarus had “reliable friends and supporters” in America.

Graham later suggested Lukashenko and Trump “could become friends” if they met personally, adding that both leaders were “honest” and “straightforward.”

“The important thing is that they can meet and talk, get to know one another,” Graham argued, even suggesting Lukashenko invite Trump to Minsk for a round of golf.

Graham was accompanied by Greta Van Susteren of Newsmax TV, whose husband John Coale serves as President Trump’s special envoy for Belarus.

CHRISTIAN FREEDOM CONCERNS

The Belarusian leader also praised American humanitarian aid, saying two-thirds of all humanitarian assistance received by Belarus last year came from the United States despite ongoing political tensions and sanctions.

The evangelical gathering marked a dramatic shift after years of crackdowns by Belarusian authorities on evangelical, Catholic, and other clergy following the disputed 2020 presidential election.

In Belarus, a nation of about 9.5 million people, roughly 80 percent of the population identifies as Orthodox Christian, while Protestants — including evangelical believers — make up about two percent, according to official estimates.

Worthy News has documented earlier pressure on evangelical churches in Belarus, including the closure of a major Pentecostal congregation and restrictions on Protestant leaders. A 2024 Belarusian law required all religious organizations to re-register with authorities or risk being outlawed if officials questioned their loyalty to the state.

The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom has listed Belarus among nations accused of religious freedom violations.

Still, some believers viewed Graham’s visit as a rare opportunity for evangelical churches to gather publicly on a national scale after years of restrictions and political isolation.
