Daily Devotional for Monday April 29, 2002

When will Satan Learn that Our God Reigns

(Daniel 10:13)

THIS IS A VICTORY DEVOTIONAL TODAY. IT IS DEDICATED TO EVERY PERSON WHO READS IT, WHO IS FACING SOME CRISIS IN YOUR LIFE. NEVER FORGET, THAT NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE FACING TODAY, GOD WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE FINAL WORD. PUT YOUR HOPE, YOUR FAITH, YOUR TRUST IN HIM TODAY! GOD IS YOUR ONLY ANSWER!!! OUR GOD IS A GOD OF VICTORY!!! OUR GOD WINS!!!

I deeply apologize to you for the problems that we have had with our Daily Devotionals the last 4 days. Late Thursday, I got word that there was a problem with our mailing software, and in checking, about 90% of that day's Devotionals had been delivered before the technical problems started. As you can imagine, to mail each and every day to close to 1.1 million email addresses all over the world is a technological miracle. The software that we use is state of the art and very unique, since there is nobody sending over 1 million emails EVERY DAY to a legitimate list of subscribers. Our great tech team worked literally around the clock until Sunday afternoon to clear up all of the problems. Thank God we are now back on schedule, and in the next few days, will re-send the Friday and Saturday Devotionals to you. I believe in my heart, even if it is only one person, those "missed" Devotionals will literally change lives for eternity! THAT is why we are going to take the time, effort, and expense to insure that not ONE day is missed.

NEVER FORGET, THE BATTLE THAT WE ARE IN IS NOT OF FLESH AND BLOOD, BUT IS A SPIRITUAL ONE!!! (Ephesians 6:12)

As I have stated so many times, there are NO COINCIDENCES with God. Last Thursday morning, I was in meetings finalizing the plans to launch the new Liveprayer TV program on secular TV in 5 cities this October, with the goal of going on national syndication in early 2003. Unlike ANY Christian-based program before, this will be ONLY on secular TV stations and supported 100% by advertisers. In addition, as many of our friends know, this Devotional is now going to over one million email accounts worldwide EVERY day. Additionally, the Devotional on Thursday that got to about 90% of our subscribers, was an invitation to know Christ as Savior which we got almost 1,000 responses from!!! PRAISED GOD!!! The Devotional on Friday was a re-airing of the Devotional that I have done on the Psychic issue. In past airings, literally thousands of people were set free by God from that bondage. Is it merely a coincidence that satan wanted to halt a powerful word that was turning many hearts to Christ? Is it merely a coincidence that satan wanted to stop a Devotional exposing how he uses the psychics to deceive people???

I THINK NOT!!!!!

In the 33 months now that Liveprayer has been on the Internet, satan has tried EVERYTHING to silence us. Three months after we started, we had a major problem with witches and warlocks who tried to shut us down. Did they succeed??? NO!!! After that, there were several attempts by hackers to destroy Liveprayer and our ability to exist. Did they succeed??? NO!!! What happened in the last few days is simply another attempt to shut down or slow down what God is literally doing in over one million lives worldwide, every single day, through Liveprayer.com!!! Did satan succeed??? NO!!!

My friend, we are in a special place with God. In the 33 months that we have been on the Internet, we are still the ONLY non-adult website in the world to literally broadcast LIVE video/audio 24/7. Over 12,000 people that we know of have come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. We have an archive of over 400,000 praise reports from people who have asked us to pray for their situations, and God has moved in those situations. In our 33 months on the Internet, we have seen countless secular websites with hundreds of millions of dollars in financial backing start and fail. We have even seen many prominent Christian-based Internet sites that had tens of millions of dollars of financial backing launch and fail within the first year. Why? They were designed to generate dollars, NOT SOULS, and they fell into the same trap all of the secular sites that failed fell into. The fact is, the ONLY two things that have consistently produced REAL revenues of any significance on the Internet, are pornography and gambling. Strongholds of satan!!! Without public money from stock, Amazon and Ebay, the two most successful Internet-only sites would be gone tomorrow.

BUT THROUGH ALL OF THE CARNAGE ON THE INTERNET IN THE PAST 33 MONTHS, LIVEPRAYER IS STILL ALIVE, STILL FAITHFULLY DOING WHAT GOD HAS CALLED US TO DO EACH AND EVERY DAY BECAUSE GOD IS USING THIS MINISTRY AS HIS VEHICLE TO LITERALLY TOUCH OVER ONE MILLION LIVES WORLDWIDE EACH AND EVERY DAY!!!

Why has God kept His hand of favor on this ministry? We don't sell trinkets, we don't take advertising, we are only here to minister to the hurts and needs of ALL people 24/7/365. This website is NOT about commerce, it is about SOULS and sharing the hope and love of Jesus Christ with this lost and hurting world. I have no doubt, THAT is why God's hand of blessing is on our work here, and why no matter what satan may try, God will NEVER let anything happen to Liveprayer.com.

I love you and care about you so much. I was with some very dear friends this past Thursday attending the Dove Awards in Nashville. I learned of our problems late Thursday night. I slept a few hours, and flew back on the first flight out of Nashville on Friday, and have literally been in my office with my tech peoples since I returned. You see, our work here is VERY SERIOUS to me. This is what God has called me to do. NOTHING in my life is more important than the work that I do each day here at Liveprayer. Thank you so much for all who were concerned about me and about the ministry here. Your love, your prayers, and your support mean more then you will EVER know!!!

HERE IS THE WORD THAT I WANT TO GIVE EACH ONE TODAY IN CLOSING. THIS IS ALL IN CAPS ON PURPOSE!!! DEVIL, YOU ARE A LIAR!!! MY BIBLE SAYS, WITH GOD ALL . . ALL . . . ALL . . . ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. MY SPECIAL WORD FOR YOUR LIFE TODAY IS THIS. THERE IS NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD. OUR GOD WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE FINAL WORD. LIVE YOUR LIFE TODAY IN VICTORY. IF GOD BE FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US??? OUR GOD REIGNS. WHATEVER YOU MAY BE FACING TODAY IN YOUR LIFE--NO MATTER HOW SERIOUS--OUR GOD WINS!!! PRAISE HIM TODAY!!! NO MATTER WHAT. OUR GOD HAS THE FINAL WORD, OUR GOD WINS!!! CELEBRATE YOU VICTORY TODAY. OUR GOD REIGNS!!! AMEN!!!
