Romans 9:16 ‘So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.’

DAILY READING; – John 9:24-41; 2 Chronicles 7; Malachi 4

William Franklin Graham III was born the fourth of five children to Billy Franklin Graham on July 14, 1952.
Franklin grew into a rebellious young man who lived the “fast life”. He smoked, drank, got in fights and admitted trying marijuana. His family sent him to Stony Brook, an elite Christian boarding school on Long Island, New York. He dropped out and was later expelled from another school, LeTourneau College in Longview, Texas, for keeping a female classmate out all night past curfew.
Billy Graham’s image was affected because of Franklin’s behavior as people may have believed that he could not control his son.
On a trip to Switzerland in 1974 with Franklin, Billy talked to his son about the direction of his life. Looking him straight in the eye he said “I want you to know that your mother and I sense there is a struggle for the soul of your life, and you’re going to have to make a choice.”
These words troubled Franklin as he continued to live a wayward life of drinking and smoking. One night in a hotel room in Jerusalem, Franklin’s life changed. That night instead of going to the bar for a couple of beers, he found himself alone in his room reading through the Gospel of John. Shortly after this, at age 22, he gave his life to Christ.
Today, he heads the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, he is also the CEO of Samaritan’s Purse and heads efforts on behalf of the organization in more than 100 countries. He is well known around the world for his strong stance on Christian values.
He story is told in his 1995 autobiography, “Rebel With a Cause: Finally Comfortable Being Graham.”
In his biography he expresses how the grace of God delivered him when all else failed.

Franklin’s story shows that it is grace that makes the difference in anyone’s life. Though he was born into a very strong Christian family, yet he could not save himself until God’s grace intervened.
Grace is the tangible and undeniable hand of God upon a man that makes all the difference in his life.
Many of us today are products of God’s unfailing grace.
Despite our failures and shortcomings, through the Blood of Jesus we have experienced deliverance from the hold of the enemy.
The blood of Jesus is designed to demolish every stronghold of sin. There is wonder-working, miracle-healing power in the Blood of Jesus that destroys all works of darkness.

1 John 3:8 says ‘“..For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.”

Through the power in the Blood, we have received new spiritual status and identity. From slaves to sin, we have been transformed into sons of God. From the kingdom of darkness we have been translated into the kingdom of light. From humanity we have been reborn into divinity.
The Blood of Jesus transforms us from victims to victors. Everywhere the Blood is applied, fire falls and victory is assured. Indeed By His blood we are overcomers and more than conquerors in every situation of life.
We are now no longer to live limited lives as ordinary men, rather we are to live a life of power because of God’s grace at work in our lives.
By the Blood we have been given access into divine blessings that we didn’t deserve and favor that we didn’t work for.
Today, let us continually plead the Blood of Jesus, against anything trying to keep us in mediocrity, as we receive the grace to arise above earthly limitations and truly begin to live in victory and dominion as sons of God upon the earth.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the victory I have through Your Blood. Today I invoke Your precious blood against everything hindering the manifestation of Your Glory in my life. Indeed by the mystery of the Blood I have truly overcome in Jesus Name.
