Billy Graham: Almost Persuaded

Published 2019-03-08
On a sweltering day at Chicago's famous Soldier Field, Billy Graham preached about the crucial decision of whether to follow Christ. This was the last message of the 1962 Greater Chicago Crusade, and the heat caused Mr. Graham to cut his message short. The last six minutes of this video contain an improvised message preached by Mr. Graham after the crowds had left the stadium, when he learned his original message was too short to fill the television slot for the program.

    I watch Billy Graham sermons almost every day especially when I'm feeling weak. The passion and holy spirit that comes through his word's is amazing. Billy Graham has brought me back to Jesus Christ as I was a non practicing Christian for a while and was led by worldly thing's. I am now single, celibate and have joy in my heart through Jesus Christ and I am so ever grateful for Billy Graham who caught my attention and help lead me back to Jesus Christ. Thank you.

    I was 10 years old when Billy Graham did this crusade. 8 years later, he led me to Christ at his crusade at Auckland New Zealand.

    Mr Graham was one awesome soul winner, praise God for him and the Graham family. May Mr. Graham's sermons live on until Christ returns.

    I was afforded the opportunity to get to go to 4 different Billy Graham crusades. I'm so glad that I got to see him and we'll meet some day in heaven
  • Listen to Billy Graham on this last day of February 2023. Today I’m in much pain that also makes me sad, but the word of God is so uplifting that it takes away the misery I feel. Yes, the word of God is so good !

    “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me”

    Billy Graham saved my soul. On a Good Friday night, in a tent in Moline, Illinois in 1965. When he called the Altar Call I sprang to my feet and ran up there, Billy Graham met me and raised me by my armpits up into the air and then pulled me into his arms. Raising me up again and then putting me down. He handed me off to a woman and he told her to take me to the office. There in the office, which was a small cinderblock building attached to the tent, I waited. It seemed like a long time, 30-40-minutes. And when Billy Graham came in, he had prayed with so many people, that he had forgotten about me. When it hit him and he remembered... that was the happiest face I have ever seen. "I can't believe you waited for me this long" was his first words. "Come let's talk" were his next, as he led me to a smaller inner office. He closed the door. For almost an hour, he asked me and I told him, my life so far. Not a pretty picture! Stepdad despised me and mother wasn't there for me. But for the last 5-10-minutes, we prayed and again I wept as the Holly Ghost washed through me. I got so hard-core saved that night, that I have no doubt, God made everything, Jesus Christ of Nazareth died, a very horrible death,. for my sins.
  • I believe in Jesus Christ, and I’m not afraid to say it!! I’m proud to be His follower

    This message from Dr. Graham , of the shed blood of Christ on the Cross of Calvary for the forgiveness of our sins, the need to Believe in Him [ His death , burial and resurrection ] and repent of same, is the essence of the Gospel and is just as fresh today as it was 57 years ago. I will be 73 years of age and have listened to Billy Graham since 6 years of age.He never sugarcated the Gospel of Christ but told it like it is , with the need to believe and repent.It will be a glorious time when I get home to see the Savior and ot meet Billy Graham.I hope to see all of ;yoiu there...If you need to make that decision for Christ ....do it now !!

    Even though the sermon was made in 1962 it has so much relevancy to the year 2019 it's amazing
  • What a sermon. This man of God is truly a great blessing to all those who are listening to him. My dad listened to him for years. Glad I've found his sermons.
  • I have accepted Jesus into my life, but my actions and words have not mirrored Him. Thank you Jesus for this time, right now, that I may listen and obey. Amen, amen
  • My wife passed on on 14th of May been Saturday, I was deep in sorrow I don't know what I was doing again and I don't know how I took my phone and pum I saw Billy Graham massages and start listening to it. Since then I have been lifted. This wed early morning around 3 am I couldn't sleep because I'm alone in my room listening to Billy Graham awesome massages, though he's late but his voice still speaks.
