CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF LIVEPRAYER! TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!

DAILY DEVOTIONAL SATURDAY AUGUST 31, 2024

(1 Corinthians 15:57)

***PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM BILL KELLER: All glory to God for the 25 years of Liveprayer! May HE continue to be glorified through His work here until our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ returns!!!

I NEED YOUR HELP IN THESE FINAL DAYS OF AUGUST!!! It is critical we at least cover the $35,000 shortfall from July over the final days of August! Please pray about what you can do today to help me! If God has blessed you financially, possibly recently with the sale of a business or property, a windfall in the markets, possibly a tax refund, please pray about tithing some of that blessing to God's work here at Liveprayer. IF you are able to wire or overnight funds, contact me at: bkeller@liveprayer for the necessary information! Thank you and God's richest blessings!!!

***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, thank you for another day of life! Even though this is a special day in the life of your ministry here at Liveprayer, let us never to forget that EVERY DAY is a special day since it is a gift from you! Please let me never take one day, one hour, one minute of this precious life for granted and may I always honor you with my life! In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!

***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: I was adopted when I was 16 months old. My parents weren't rich by the world's standards, but gave me riches beyond imagination showering me with unconditional love and teaching me to love Jesus and honor His Word. My father died from pancreatic cancer in January of 1974 right before my 16th birthday, but he taught me a work ethic that I embraced during my years running from the Lord and have continued to adhere to these past 30 years in my service to the Kingdom. My dear mother went home to be with Jesus a few days before Christmas in 1998, only months before I started Liveprayer, but was able to see me fulfill God's will for my life during the first 5 years of my ministry.

For the past 30 years of ministry, the past 25 here at Liveprayer along with the last 21 plus years on TV, I have tried my best each and every day to serve Him with everything I possess. I can say with all honesty I have given the Lord my very best each and every day. He loved me enough to die for me on a cross so my sins could be forgiven, how could I give Him anything less? I realize that tomorrow is promised to none of us, so each day I give Jesus everything I have just like it is my last day of this brief journey we are on called life.

The Bible says to whom much is given, much is required. God has blessed me with EVERYTHING in my life. My only desire each morning that He wakes me up is to minister to the needs of those He allows to cross my path that day, bring His Truth to the masses outside of the four walls of the church, and share the hope we have in Jesus Christ with the lost and hurting!

Thanks to the love, prayers, and sacrificial gifts of those in the Liveprayer family over these past 25 years online, over 21 plus years on TV, together we have impacted tens of millions of lives all over this world, prayed over and responded to over 300 million emails for prayer, have an archive of 30 million plus praise reports as a testimony to God's grace and faithfulness, and seen over 2.5 million souls around the world that we know of come to faith in Jesus Christ!

I NEVER FORGET THAT EVERYTHING THAT LIVEPRAYER HAS ACCOMPLISHED FOR THE LORD OVER THESE PAST 25 YEARS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOU, THE LIVEPRAYER FAMILY! I AM ONLY ABLE TO DO WHAT THE LORD HAS CALLED ME TO DO EACH DAY BECAUSE OF YOU, AND I WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL FOR YOUR LOVE, PRAYERS, AND GENEROUS SACRIFICES TO HELP ME IN HIS WORK HERE AT LIVEPRAYER!

I didn't know how long God would keep me around 30 years ago when I finally made the decision to completely surrender my life to Him. Obviously, He still has work for me to do 30 years later. I can't re-live that decade I ran from God, but I have given Him 100% of everything I have for the last 30 years, and will until the moment He says my work is finished and calls me home to Glory. MY ONLY DESIRE IS THAT AT THAT MOMENT, I HEAR MY JESUS SAY TO ME, “WELL DONE THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT!”

***AUGUST FINANCIAL UPDATE: I NEED YOUR HELP IN THESE FINAL DAYS OF AUGUST!!! So far we have covered $20,000 of the $55,000 from July. That leaves the final $35,000 from our July ministry operations and the $55,000 we require for August. That is a total of $90,000 to end August, our 25th anniversary month, with all of our ministry operations current. AMEN!!!

*I NEED YOUR HELP IN THESE FINAL DAYS OF AUGUST!!! It is critical we at least cover the $35,000 shortfall from July over the final days of August! Please pray about what you can do today to help me! God bless!

AFTER 25 YEARS, A QUARTER OF A CENTURY OF FAITHFUL SERVICE, people who are part of the Liveprayer family know this is “good soil” to sow your seed! Please pray about a special gift of $25 or $1 for every year, $250 or $10 for every year, $2,500 or $100 for every year, $25,000 or $1,000 for every year!

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!!!

Twenty five years of Liveprayer! It is easy to get discouraged looking at the world around us today despite the wonderful milestone that 25 years ago at Noon on 8/31/1999, Liveprayer signed onto the internet. When Liveprayer signed on, there were 2.4 million websites. Today, there are apx. 2 BILLION websites!!!

A unique historical fact about Liveprayer is that we were the very first non-pornographic website to have “live streaming video.” For the first 3 years of Liveprayer, we had a prayer partner in a small prayer studio literally 24/7 to pray for the needs of people who came to the website with needs.

Over the years Liveprayer has become the most effective interactive online ministry ever. God has used His work here to impact tens of millions of live worldwide while seeing over 2.5 million souls we know of come to faith in Jesus Christ. To God be the glory, and it will be the eternal legacy of myself and each member of the Liveprayer family!!!

As I type these words, I think back to the numerous times over 25 years I have exhorted people that our ONLY hope is to turn this nation back to God and His Truth. Liveprayer is the instrument that God has been using to impact individual lives, and as we continue to do that our final work for the Lord is to lead the way for a spiritual revival across this land. Unless that happens, unless we have a Nineveh moment where the masses get on their knees and repent of their sins, turn back to God and His Truth, this nation is finished.

Only the arrogant and prideful will believe that the same God who judged his own children for FAR LESS sin, won't unleash His wrath and judgment on this nation!!!

Over the last 25 years, Liveprayer has become by far the world's largest interactive Christian website. We've sent out just over 9,100 Daily Devotionals daily over these past 25 years that began going out to a handful of people and are now are received by over 2.5 million people worldwide every single day. We have received and responded to over 300 million email prayer requests. We have accumulated a Praise Report archive with over 30 million testimonies of God's faithfulness.

We've also been able to impact millions more lives thru broadcasting the uncompromised Truth of God's Word and the fact Jesus is the ONLY way on over 5,200 "live" TV programs on major NON-CHRISTIAN TV stations, seen by millions of people in Florida, Illinois and around the nation since it debuted in March of 2003. Since Thanksgiving of 2018, the program is now seen “live” for an hour, 5 nights a week on all major streaming platforms.

Of course, ALL honor, glory, and praise goes to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Jesus said, "Without me you can do NOTHING!" That powerful reminder from John 15:5 is on the mirror in my bathroom and the first thing I see every morning. I have been most blessed of men to be given the honor and privilege to serve our Lord in such a meaningful way each and every day.

It was 34 years ago this month that I sat in a Federal Prison cell and rededicated my life back to Christ and finally gave the Lord the one and only thing He ever wanted from me, and the one and only thing He ever wants from you...my life completely, fully, and wholly surrendered to Him!

Whatever has happened at Liveprayer over these past 25 years is NOT because of Bill Keller, it is because of Jesus Christ. Bill Keller is simply a vessel God has chosen to use at this moment in human history in the fulfillment of His overall plan and purpose. All I did was give my life completely to the Lord and surrender myself to whatever His will for me is each day.

I spent 5 years PRIOR to the start of Liveprayer doing my best to serve and follow God faithfully, preaching the Gospel all over the country. Whatever Liveprayer has become after these 25 years since Liveprayer began, is the result of serving and following Christ obediently and faithfully for over 30 years. It was God who has called me to do what I do today and I am simply doing my best to follow His voice as I walk by faith each day!!!

It has been dear friends like you who have loved me, prayed for me, made great sacrifices in many cases to support God's work here, who are as responsible as anyone for all God has done in tens of millions of lives worldwide these past 25 years!!!

It is because of what we, the Liveprayer family, has done these past 25 years that I have the incredible passion for what we can do in the years to come should Jesus tarry. What drives me each day is the fact that I know Jesus may return at any moment, that tomorrow is promised to none of us, and I need to be faithful each day to the work God has called me to do.

Every second of every day someone is dying and going to hell that could be in Heaven if we had been able to reach them with the hope of Christ. Thru the internet and television, we have the ability to reach the lost and hurting masses and not only help them find real answers in their hour of need, but the eternal hope we have in Jesus Christ.

Seeing the lost won for Christ is what I have given my life to do. With every waking moment, every breath until God calls me home, my only objective and goal is to reach the lost with the Gospel. That passion, that drive, that determination has not waned over these past 300 months, it has intensified.

I refuse to let the personal abuse I take each day stop me. I refuse to let the continual threats on my life stop me. I refuse to let the daily challenges of living in this fallen world stop me. I refuse to let finances stop me. I refuse to let anything keep me from giving the Lord everything I have every day.

I know that I fall short every day, fail the Lord every day, but I am thankful He knows my heart. Jesus gave His very life for me, how can I give Him anything less?

I LOVE YOU AND CARE ABOUT YOU SO MUCH! I really mean that each and every day!!!

The greatest joy of all these past 25 years is this new family God has blessed me with. Every day I cry with those in the Liveprayer family who lose those they love, and I rejoice with those in the Liveprayer family as they bring new life into this world.

I remember today the many dear and faithful friends who have been part of Liveprayer over the years, many who helped lay the foundation for God's work here who have gone on to their rewards in Glory. I also am excited by all the new additions to the Liveprayer family as they grow up to become the men and women of God He has called them to be.

It has been a privilege to stand with so many young adults as they have gone thru high school, college, started their first job, and gotten married, had children. I've been honored to stand with those in the Liveprayer family who have lost their job, gotten new ones, faced health issues, struggled with their finances, gone through a divorce, had legal issues, bought and sold homes, moved, dealt with children and grandchildren living apart from the Lord, those how have battled with different addictions, and all the rest of the daily challenges we face along our journey through this life.

I'm grateful to be here each day God allows me to be here to help bear your burdens!!!

*"It's an honor to speak to people about God, it's an even greater honor to speak to God for people!!!" -EM Bounds

All I can say in closing is THANK YOU! Thank you for your love. Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for your encouragement. Thank you for your financial support of God's work her at Liveprayer. I tell you often that without you there would be no Liveprayer. That is true. YOU make this all possible each day for millions of lost and hurting people worldwide.

Your love and prayers and gifts have made an eternal impact in the lives of tens of millions of people around this planet. Please continue to pray for me and for all those who labor here so faithfully each day to make this all possible. For those who God leads and have the ability, please continue to prayerfully give as the Holy Spirit leads you to help insure we can meet our financial needs.

I'm looking forward to the day my work here is complete and I am able to go to Heaven and hopefully catch up on some sleep. I know that at some point, there will be a great reunion of all those people who were part of the Liveprayer family.

It is such an honor and great joy of mine on those occasions to actually meet those who are part of the Liveprayer family. Sadly, I know that I will never get that opportunity to shake hands and give a hug to the vast majority who are in the Liveprayer family during this life. So I look forward to that day in Glory when we will all be together for a great reunion!!!

In the meantime, God still has much for us to do. While it would be easy and tempting to sit back and be content with what we have accomplished these past 24 years, we can't because there is still too much work left to do. The Liveprayer Church, has become the world's online cathedral for many people each week.

So now is time to keep pressing on towards that prize, being obedient and faithful each day to serve and follow the Lord, and declare to this lost world the Truth of God's Word and tell them of the eternal hope they can have in Jesus Christ. May God continue to pour out His favor and blessings on Liveprayer as we remain faithful each day to our calling of leading this nation back to God and HIS Truth!"

Let me leave you with my life verse from 1 Corinthians 15:57, ""But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!"

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

Bill Keller
