Billy Graham’s Chilling Warning Before He Went to Heaven by LARRY TOMCZAK for Charisma News
The greatest evangelist who preached to more people than anyone in the history of the world gave us a chilling warning before he went to heaven.
In spite of all our affluence and achievements, Billy said unless we focused on the transformation of people’s hearts, there would be worsening racial discord that is “more militant and a great deal of blood will be shed” (World Aflame).
His concern was echoed recently by Dr. Ben Carson, one of the preeminent neurosurgeons in the world. Raised in an inner-city broken home with a poor education he is one of our most respected and influential black leaders as a presidential candidate and now prestigious Cabinet member. His core conviction, like that of Rev. Graham, is profound yet simple: “The heart of the matter is the matter of the heart.”

We love helping others and believe that’s one of the reasons we are chosen as Ambassadors of the Kingdom, to serve God’s children. We look to the Greatest Commandment as our Powering force.
Instead of embracing seductive excuses for not succeeding such as victimization or systemic racism, Dr. Carson, like Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry, Michael Jordan and others work hard and persevere amidst setbacks. They reject race baiting and relate to Barack Obama, who, abandoned by his father yet rising to become president, telling us, “Yes we can!”
We are living through the most harrowing experience of our lifetime. It’s time to be difference makers! A massive three wave tsunami hit us unexpectedly: worldwide pandemic; economic catastrophe; nationwide racial riots. Our assignment is to be compassionate communicators of the gospel and biblical truth to see hearts changed, rescuing the masses from deception to seize their destiny.
For 50 years, I’ve worked hard to help people of all color succeed while strengthening race relations. I came to Christ because of a black minister in Cleveland, Ohio, where I was the only white man in his congregation. I served the city’s first black mayor, Carl B. Stokes, and then worked in community relations at the AFL-CIO headquarters in Washington, D.C., where the majority of the population is black. God even arranged for me to speak in large conferences in apartheid South Africa to help foster change, which finally came peacefully when Nelson Mandela was released from prison, became president and called everyone to forgiveness and a change of heart.
