Last week, Franklin Graham suggested that people pray for Putin. Not for God to remove this evil man from power. Not for him to stop the genocide of the Ukrainian people. Not for him to confess his sins and repent. But simply for his wellbeing and wisdom.

What you are witnessing in Kyiv today is the result of such “prayers.” Yes, first and foremost, I blame Putin for this evil. But I also blame Franklin Graham and his supporters who, under the cover of “preaching the Gospel,” have blessed this genocidal regime.

If you want to pray for Putin, pray that God removes this evil man from power. Pray that God crushes the demonic spirit that has gripped all of russia. Pray that Putin confesses his sins before God and turns away from his genocidal war. Pray that Ukrainian children are returned to their families, prisoners are freed, and the killing stops.

Pray for justice to be done.
