What was Special about Billy Graham
I wanted to know what was special about Billy Graham, did he walk and talk like Jesus, was he a healer? Or was he just humble? Despite his influence, he saw himself as merely a "messenger of the kingdom of God," not as the source of salvation, as he says himself, “I cannot save anybody. I'm just an ordinary messenger of the kingdom of God.” This highlights his humility and focus on the message rather than himself. This quote was from the YouTube Video I recently watched.
Why did 12 Presidents have his ear, some said because of “his words of wisdom”, “wanted what he had”, “take such comfort from talking to him” and he had a “voice of reason”.
Was it because he was just like us “human”, questioned faith and life?
Early in his ministry, he faced a personal crisis of faith, questioning the authority of the Bible and scripture as a whole.
He struggled with arguments that challenged the Bible's inspired word. As he says, “Maybe this Bible isn't as authoritative as I thought it was." This shows his own human vulnerability.
This struggle led him to a "watershed moment" where he made a personal decision to accept the Bible by faith. "Lord, this is Your book. I'm going to accept it by faith... I'm accepting this as Your word by faith."
Perhaps God had a purpose with Billy Graham, a legacy? Watching this documentary you will see that Mr. Graham's life is an example of how God can use individuals when they dedicate themselves to Him.
The overarching theme that God has a specific purpose for everyone's lives, and it is through total submission to God that extraordinary things can happen
Watching this documentary you will notice, he consistently emphasizes Jesus Christ as the core of his message. The gospel message focuses on sin, repentance, faith, and a new life through Christ.
His preaching focused on the cross as where sins are forgiven, and that Jesus offers a path to a relationship with God. His frequently said “God cares for you so much that he took upon himself in the person of Jesus Christ our sins and suffering, and from the cross God declares I Love you.” That is what made Mr. Billy Graham special his love of Jesus and his love for people.

I think we need another Billy Graham, he passed away 7 years ago. What can we do as believers, how can we stand out? I use my creative art to be a “atmospheric force” to give believers words of encouragement, endurance, to become overcovers with the images I create.
