LivePrayerDaily Devotional for Wednesday September 20, 2023
73 and 74 year old pro-lifers facing 11 years in Federal prison! and, Are you willing to die for Jesus?
DAILY DEVOTIONAL WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 20, 2023
(1 Peter 2:12)
***PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM BILL KELLER: Jesus died for our sins, can we live for Him?
***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, give me Your strength to stand for Your Truth no matter what the cost. It is easy to call myself a follower of Jesus, but when confronted, when challenged, when faced with persecution, will I still say I am a follower of Jesus? I love You Lord and ask for Your strength so no matter what I have to endure for my faith, I will stand firm. In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN! *Salvation message from Ground Zero: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqZ9oaqJNJg
***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: 2 pro-life activists were found guilty by a DC jury of blocking access to an abortion clinic. They were part of a group of pro-lifers charged by the DOJ. For the record, both of those found guilty Monday were women, one is 74 years old, the other is 73 years old, and they are looking at 11 years in Federal Prison. So you understand, it was the January 6th “Fed-surrection” that has enabled your government to target not just parents concerned about what their children are being taught in school, but to target people of faith whether it be traditional Catholics or those in the pro-life movement. It was critical for the false narrative of January 6th to be accepted so that the government could declare the greatest threat to our homeland are white nationalists, domestic terrorists. Translation, that is the 74 million people who voted for Donald Trump in 2020 and who believe in our Constitution and America First. I wrote in a Daily Devotional in the early days of Liveprayer, way back in the year 2000, that I could see a day at some point when the government along with powerful Christ-hating groups would try to silence Christians on the internet. Don’t get me wrong, the targets would not be your average vanilla church or pastors who mind their own business and stay behind their pulpit preaching to the choir. No, the targets would be those on the battlefield fighting satan for the souls of men. It would be those brave OT prophet types who would only stop declaring God’s Truth when their enemies locked them up and cut their tongues out or killed them. I never had any illusions that I could waltz into the marketplace and declare God’s Word without a battle since those are the front lines of this spiritual battle. Our government is actually charging people and locking them up for what they believe, for thought crimes. Do not be shocked when I tell you there is probably 40% of our country who think it is perfectly legitimate for our government to lock people up who hold different beliefs. I can only tell you that if God allows the globalists to retain power in November of 2024 it will be open season on Christians. Those who stay quiet and go sit in a pew for an hour on Sunday will be fine. The gutless motivational hustlers like Osteen and most of the prosperity pimps on Christian TV will be fine. FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CHRIST WHO SPEAK UP, STEP OUT, CHALLENGE THE LIES OF SATAN, LABOR FOR THE LORD, THEY WILL BE THE TARGETS OF THE COMING PERSECUTION OF BELIEVERS! Like in countries such as China, the government will make examples out of “trouble makers.” Remember this my friend, this is no different than the early church as Rome sought to wipe out ALL followers of Christ. It was those brave brothers and sisters in the early church, many who were martyred for their faith, who God has used to spread His message of Truth and hope to the world these last 2,000 years. NOW IT IS OUR TURN FOR A SEASON TO DO OUR PART FOR THE FAITH!!! GIRD YOUR LOINS AND LET US GO FIGHT FOR OUR LORD AND SAVIOR!!!

***SEPTEMBER FINANCIAL UPDATE: PRAISE GOD!!! We ended August with a shortfall of $50,000. So far we have received $20,000 of that shortfall leaving the final $30,000. I am praying that we can cover that shortfall in the next few days so we can begin to work on the $55,000 we require for our September ministry operations.
That is a total of $85,000 to end September with all of our ministry operations current heading into the final 3 months of 2023. WITH YOUR PRAYERS AND GENEROUS SACRIFICE OUR GOD IS ABLE!!!
The Bible teaches us to “give according to our ability to give.” For some that may be $10 or $20. For others it may be $50 or $100. Still others it may be $200, $500, $1,000, $10,000 or more. GOD WILL BLESS YOUR GIFT NO MATTER WHAT THE AMOUNT!!!
*After 24 years of faithful service, people who are part of the Liveprayer family know this is “good soil” to sow your seed! Pray about a special gift of $24 or $1 for every year, $240 or $10 for every year, $2,400 or $100 for every year, $24,000 or $1,000 for every year!

Having the passion of the suicide bomber. One of the undeniable facts about those who are committing these horrible suicide bombings in the news virtually every day in the Middle East, in Africa, is their total commitment to what they believe. It is misguided and horribly wrong what they do, but I can only pray today that those who claim to have their faith in Christ would be JUST as passionate and JUST as committed to the cause of Christ.
Of course these people represent an extreme element of what they believe, but the fact is, they are SO committed to their cause, SO committed to their belief, that they are willing to give their very lives for it. My question for you today is simply this. Are you as committed to your faith in Christ to give your very life for Him, if that is what you are asked to do?
In the United States, we have had the luxury of being very comfortable in our faith. We worship in freedom, not having to worry about outside interferences from those who do not agree with the message of our Lord. Even today, there are MANY places on this earth that this is NOT the case. We have many who get this Devotional every day in parts of the world where you could literally be put to death for proclaiming faith in Christ.
I have often wondered what would happen if one Sunday morning a group of soldiers with machine guns came into a church, lined the people up, and simply said, "anyone who wants to denounce Christ can go home, the rest of you will be killed." I really wonder how many would stand and claim Christ with their last breath. Those students of church history understand that this has been the choice many of God's people have had to make since the very first church. Are we as passionate about our faith today, to literally give our lives for it?
Today's Devotional is very short on purpose. I don't want you to think about anything else today but this one question. If I was asked to give my life for Christ, would I?
I love you and care about you very much. The FACT is, if your answer is yes, then that means you are willing to do whatever God is calling you to do, whatever God is asking you to do, to further His Kingdom here on earth. We are clearly living in the last days as Jesus described in Matthew 24 and Paul spoke of in 2 Timothy 3 and 2 Peter 3. The challenge today is are you willing to literally give your life if you had to, to share the hope and love of Christ with this lost and sin filled world?
God is asking you today to surrender your life to Him, so that He can use you to reach others with the promise of everlasting life. Are you willing to give your life to Him? Are you willing to do all that He is asking you to do to see others come into the everlasting knowledge of Jesus Christ?
***Only a very few will ever be asked to actually die for the Lord, but ALL of God's children are asked daily to surrender their lives to Him so that He can use you for His plan and purpose.
The fact is, the suicide bombers are daily giving their life for the lost cause that they have bought into. My challenge to you today is this. ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE YOUR LIFE FOR CHRIST? The one thing that we know is that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. It is ONLY through Him that man comes to know everlasting life. Are you willing to give your life to proclaim THAT message? I am, and I pray today that you are too.
In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller
