DAILY DEVOTIONAL SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 8, 2024

(Acts 20:35)

***THE LIVEPRAYER CHURCH!!! Haven't been to church yet this week? Join me for this week's service at the LivePrayer Church. This week's message is: “Will good people go to heaven?” Please visit the website at: http://liveprayerchurch.com and be part this week's worship service. Each Sunday there will be a new service at 12:01am EDT

***PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM BILL KELLER: Thank the Lord today for giving you life, and a life of abundance as you serve Him!

***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Lord, Thank You for creating me with a plan and purpose, making my life so meaningful. Give me the ability this day to appreciate the fact You can use my life to advance Your kingdom. Let me do my best today in the strength You give me through the Holy Spirit to be the best servant I can be. In the name of Jesus...AMEN!!!

***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: The theologically challenged Pope Pelosi stated in a talk to the largest abortion advocacy group, NARAL, that “abortion bans ignore basic morality.” So, this self-proclaimed Catholic who talks often of praying, the Bible, and “her faith,” is such a staunch supporter of the slaughter of innocent babies that she claims those trying to save the lives of innocent babies are ignoring basic morality. WHOSE MORALITY? Of course the hypocrisy is dripping since her church is one of the most staunch advocates for life and the Bible she claims to read that clearly calls abortion MURDER.

*“We are in a NY City “pub” at the time of the Revolution. This is where the patriots met to plot their freedom from King George. WELCOME TO THE LIVEPRAYER “PUB” OF 2023 AS THOSE WHO LOVE JESUS MEET DAILY TO TAKE DOWN sATAN AND HIS MINIONS!!! FIGHT ON MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST!!!” (Liveprayer.com Tuesday June 13, 2023)

***SEPTEMBER FINANCIAL UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who prayed and those able to help me as we wound down the month of August. By God’s grace we cut down our July shortfall to the final $20,000. In the first few days of September that shortfall is now down to $10,000! AMEN! Obviously it is critical that we clear that final $10,000 from July immediately so we can focus on the $55,000 we required for our August operations. That is a total of $65,000 to clear up our total shortfall so we can focus on the $55,000 we require for September’s ministry operations.

$120,000 by the end of September allows us to enter the final 3 months of 2024 totally current. OUR GOD IS ABLE!!!

*I NEED YOUR HELP to insure that final $10,000 to clear up the balance of July and the $55,000 to take care of August. Everyone can pray, and for those able please help me with the most generous gift you can. NOTHING CAN STOP GOD’S WORK HERE AT LIVEPRAYER, CERTAINLY NOT $120,000 WHICH IN THE SCHEME OF THE WORLD’S ECONOMY IS NOTHING. SADLY, YOU HAVE MINISTRIES WHO SPEND 4-5X THAT AMOUNT JUST ON FUEL FOR THEIR PRIVATE JET OR BASIC UPKEEP ON THEIR MULTIPLE MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR MANSIONS!

WE JUST CELEBRATED 25 YEARS OF LIVEPRAYER, 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!!!

ALSO, DON'T FORGET A GIFT OF $1,800 COVERS ONE DAY OF MINISTRY AT LIVEPRAYER!!! I received this email recently, “Pastor Bill, My wife and I have just sold our last rental and God told us to tithe $1,800.00 to pay for a day of your ministry. Not looking for accolades, just that you know when you receive the check. Rest assured that we will still be making our regular weekly tithes."

One of the most compelling things about the accounts of Jesus' life in the Gospels is His compassion for those who were hurting. Jesus loved people. Jesus had a heart for those who were looking for hope. It does not take a Biblical scholar to understand that as a child of God, helping others is the main job God has given us to do. The scriptures are full of exhortations to help those in need, the poor, the widows. While the needs of some people are obvious, we are also to be there for those whose needs may not be as obvious, the spiritually poor.

You see, the spiritually poor are looking for answers to the questions of life. When the challenges of this life become overwhelming, they are looking for answers, looking for hope. A person in this state of mind, at this place in their life is in desperate need of a word from God. Where does that word come from? From the people God sends into their life, YOU AND ME!

I realize many of you today are facing great battles in your life. Struggles with sin. Struggles on your job or at school. Struggles in your family relationships. Struggles with your finances. Struggles with your health. Let me share something with you that I learned years ago. It was at the height of my personal struggles, when my natural tendency was to focus solely on the battles I was facing, that I would seek out ways to serve God by helping someone else.

Even though my battles didn't go away, they became more manageable. The struggles weren't as difficult and answers to my problems came a little easier. Why? I am convinced the Bible teaches us that if we will be about our Father's business, He will be about our business. It is a spiritual principle that works!!!

I want to challenge you today. Pray about who it is God has put in your life who is hurting and needing hope in the midst of a difficult situation. It may be someone in your family. Possibly a friend. Maybe someone at church. It could be a person at your work or in your school. God has strategically placed you in the life of someone today who is hurting and in need of a word from God.

Once you have prayed and God shows you who it is, reach out to that person. Have a cup of coffee or a bite to eat with them. Go do something together. Get that person in a one-on-one situation and let them know they are not alone in their battle, that they are not alone in whatever they are going through. You are there to stand with them, to pray with them, and to help them see victory. Often, it is not necessary to do more than just reach out in love to that person who is hurting, for them to see and feel the love of Christ coming from you. I have always said it is usually not what we say, but what we do that shows the Christ in us to others.

I love you, and care about you so much. I will be praying for you today because I know you are going through problems in your life. I am reaching out to you to let you know I will pray for you, I will stand with you, and I will be here to help you overcome whatever the battles are in your life. God has given us each other because He never expected us to go through this journey alone. We are to bear one another's burdens.

Today, reach out to that person God has placed on your heart. Show them the love of Christ through your actions. Let them know they are not alone, that someone cares for them. That can be the difference between victory and defeat in their life, between them living without hope, and moving forward victoriously over the problems in their life. Never forget, helping others is not an option, it is what God has called His children to do.

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

Bill Keller
