Don Franklin received the gift of the Holy Spirit and was anointed for prophetic ministry during the Catholic Charismatic movement..  He went on to receive his Bachelor of Arts degree in ministerial studies from Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida.  Don & Bonnie have been used in intercession and prophetic ministry since the late 1980s at Carpenters Home Church and now with Ignited Church in Lakeland. 

       "It has been said repeatedly that God does nothing except in answer to men's prayers. Whether or not this is true it is debatable but there is an awesome principle here.  Do you have the faith to just believe, like Hannah, like Esther, like Rees Howells, that your prayers have the power to change the destiny of your nation, your people, your family? I believe it is more than possible. It is a fact that God Almighty hears the prayers of even the least of his saints, and he can and will act upon your intercession. 

     So, I would encourage you to kneel and pray this day and everyday until the end of your life.  As Churchill once proclaimed, "Never, never, never give up!"  Because of his determination, England was instrumental in bringing the downfall of one of the worst demonic regimes known to man. Think of the possibility of what you may be able to accomplish in prayer to Almighty God who has both the right and the power to change your circumstances and those of your nation."                                                             ~ Don Franklin
