And without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure. If we ever forget that we’re one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.”

John Adams: Former U.S. Vice-President and President - “We recognize no sovereign but God, no king but Jesus.”
Billy Graham: Pastor and Televangelist - “I checked ‘Recommitment’ on the card I filled out. After all, I had been brought up to regard my baptism and confirmation as professions of faith, too. The difference was that this time I was doing it on purpose, doing it with intention. For all my previous religious upbringing and church activity, I believe that that was the moment I made my real commitment to Jesus Christ. No bells went off inside me. No signs flashed across the tabernacle ceiling. No physical palpitations made me tremble. I wondered again if I was a hypocrite, not to be weeping or something. I simply felt at peace. Quiet, not delirious. Happy and peaceful.”

Nobody tell me to kill him, so he said you go ahead, you can kill me in thousand pieces on the street but remember Nicky, every little piece going to crying out ‘Jesus love you, Nicky,’ and that was the thing that really changed the atmosphere. He got through my head. Do you know that? Everyday, ‘Jesus loves you, Jesus loves you,’ for two weeks, ‘Jesus loves you, Jesus loves you’ ... I gave my life to Jesus Christ. I surrendered myself. I repent for my sin and ask him to forgive me and he did it, and you think, ‘wow.’ Yes, he did it because I changed my weapon for a Bible and that day I took my Bible, I never went back. I’m looking forward to the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Two hot hands rubbed over the organs of my stomach and I knew my organic trouble was healed, I would not need a new kidney and I would be able to digest my food because He had healed me. The hot feeling ran on through my body. Then I looked at Jesus to see if He would leave me just healed inside. Jesus smiled and I felt the pressure of His hands on the knots and as His hands pressed in the middle of my spine there was a tingling sensation like I had touched a live wire. I felt this sensation like an electrical current and stood on my feet just as straight as I am on this platform speaking to you tonight. I was healed inside and outside. In 10 seconds, Jesus had healed me and made me every whit whole. He did for me in a few moments what the doctors on this earth could not do. The Great Physician did it and He did it perfectly.”
