Daily Devotional for Wednesday September 11, 2024

A warning! and, 9/11, 23 years later!

DAILY DEVOTIONAL WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 11, 2024

(2 Corinthians 5:20)

***PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM BILL KELLER: Look to JESUS each day for your direction!!!

**DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, this nation is under Your judgment for our sin, wickedness, and rebellion. Help me to be courageous as I stand for You in these perilous times. Use me as a beacon of Your light in the darkness of our world today. Though our enemies surround us, the world around me curses You, help me to stand for Your Truth that will ultimately defeat the lies of satan. May the evil of this world become so apparent, people will begin to bow their knee to You in repentance knowing YOU are their only hope and only answer! In the name of Jesus…AMEN!!!

**THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: A warning from decades ago that is sadly coming to pass! As this nation has sunk further into the spiritual abyss, as we have given in to every craven impulse, mainstreamed every kind of sexual perversion you can imagine and trust me, some you can't, there is only one left...pedophilia! The public promotion of “drag queens,” the “trans” movement involving children, and the drive to teach children about sex starting in kindergarten IS NO ACCIDENT! The sexual abuse of children is as old as man. Some cultures over the last 6,000 years have actually accepted pedophilia, though most “advanced” nations in the past 2,000 have made pedophilia not just taboo, but illegal. While the sexual abuse with children is illegal in the United States, it is not just a prevalent crime but FAR too common! It is the “dirty secret” in more families than you could imagine. It is a crime sadly seen in every type of organization that involves children such as schools, sports, scouting, and worse of all church to name a few. NO ACTIVITY THAT INVOLVES CHILDREN HAS BEEN FREE FROM EPISODES OF SEXUAL ABUSE! There are actually many fringe groups like NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association) that advocate and push for mainstream acceptance in the culture. Adults charged with pedophilia have skyrocketed during the internet age. One of the top 3 crimes illegal aliens to the United States are charged with is the sexual abuse of children. THERE ARE STILL PLACES ON THE PLANET THAT ACCEPT THE SEXUAL ABUSE OF CHILDREN AS PART OF THEIR CULTURE!!! THE MOST VISIBLE IS IN ISLAMIC COUNTRIES! I remember in the aftermath of 9/11 when most of the nation was first learning about Islam, I spoke of the satanically-led founder of Islam Mohammed being a pedophile who was married to a 6-year-old and “consummated the marriage” when she was 8! I also shared how “child brides” was part of the Islamic culture. People who were simply ignorant of Islam were aghast and had no idea that this was actually still happening in the 21st century. I have been sharing on the TV program how Muslim immigrants to the United States are immigrating with a “wife,” even though that wife is often 11, 12, 13 years old. My friend, mark my words it will be the false religion of Islam that ultimately legalizes pedophilia in this nation. They will find courts to uphold their “religious practice” of marrying children, and along with progressive Soros-backed local DAs eventually adults having sex with children will become a mainstream part of our culture. Trust me, I know many will roll their eyes, just as they did 20 years ago when I shared that if Christians didn't fight back men marrying men and women marrying women would become legal. My goodness, for the most part our culture has accepted people who have a mental illness and don't even know if they were born a male or female! Having sex with children will sadly become a commonly accepted practice unless in the very near future. Listen, if we murder apx. 4,000 innocent children every day in this nation, do you really expect an outcry when adults having sex with children becomes commonplace? ONCE AGAIN, I PRAY TO GOD WITH ALL MY HEART I AM WRONG!

*“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.

***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 $5,000! AMEN! Obviously it is critical that we clear that final $5,000 from July immediately so we can focus on the $55,000 we required for our August operations. That is a total of $60,000 to clear up our total shortfall so we can focus on the $55,000 we require for September’s ministry operations.

$115,000 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 $5,000 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, CERTIANLY NOT $115,000 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.

AS WE SPEND THE NEXT FEW DAYS TO REFLECT ON THE 23rd ANNIVERSARY OF THE HORRIBLE EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE ON 9/11/2001, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO PUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE UNITED STATES THAT DAY IN THE CONTEXT OF OUR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. I WAS NEVER SO THANKFUL TO GOD FOR THIS MINISTRY AS I WAS ON 9/11. WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF THE PLANES HITTING THE WORLD TRADE CENTER, WITHOUT EVEN UNDERSTANDING FULLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING, WE HAD MOBILIZED A WORLDWIDE PRAYER EFFORT INVOLVING OVER 1 MILLION PEOPLE.

WAS IT AN ACCIDENT THE OTHER PLANES THAT WERE TO BE FLOWN INTO BUILDINGS ON THAT DAY WERE GROUNDED? NO!!! IN THE FOLLOWING DAYS, OVER 2,000 THAT WE KNOW OF, ACCEPTED CHRIST AS THEIR SAVIOR. EVEN IN GREAT TRAGEDY, GOD IS WORKING! PLEASE PRAY AND READ THE WORDS GOD WROTE THROUGH ME ON THAT DAY SINCE THEY HAVE AS MUCH RELEVANCE NOW AS THEY DID ON THE DAY THAT THEY WERE ORIGINALLY WRITTEN.

THE DATE OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 IS A DATE THAT WILL FOREVER LIVE IN UNITED STATES HISTORY. IT MARKS THE DAY WHEN THE REALITY OF THE END-TIMES BECAME PART OF OUR EVERY DAY LIVES. MAY GOD BE MERCIFUL TO THIS GREAT NATION AND ITS' PEOPLE AS THESE EVENTS UNFOLD. PLEASE MAKE SURE THIS GETS POSTED ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA, IN YOUR CHURCH, AT YOUR WORK, AND YOU SEND IT TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

(Liveprayer Daily Devotional from September 12, 2001)

It is 10 p.m. on Tuesday night, the 11th of September as I write this Devotional. I am absolutely drained as I type these words. I have been in prayer the last hour, asking God to speak through me to help put this watershed day in US history in some perspective for you. First of all, thank you for joining me this morning in what turned out to be an incredible prayer effort. Less than an hour after the events of the day began to unfold, I sent a special call to prayer to over 700,000 worldwide that make up the subscriber base of this Daily Devotional.

Many forwarded it on to family and friends, and within a few hours, we had mobilized over 1 million around the world to be in prayer for the families of those who lost loved ones, for the injured, for those brave men and women in the rescue teams, the talented people in the hospitals, for our nation's leaders, and finally, for those who planned and carried out this horrific attack on innocent people. I know God heard our prayers and has been working in a mighty way throughout this tragic day. Additionally, we were flooded with tens of thousands of emails, many expressing fear over what happened, many wondering if the end is now upon us, most asking simply, why did God allow this? Let me take this time to deal with these questions, and put the events of this day in perspective for you.

Why did God allow this to happen to innocent people? There is never a good answer when these tragedies occur. To try and understand however, you must step back and look at the big picture. God made man and all creation perfect. When man sinned in the Garden of Eden, that perfection was spoiled. He was now born with sin and his environment was tainted by sin. The fact is, we live in a world where evil abounds. It is rampant throughout every aspect of creation. As part of this world, we are subject to the evil actions of sinful men around us.

Could God stop an event like this from occurring? Of course. Why doesn't He? Only God knows that answer, but the Bible teaches us that there will come a day in time when He will end this world as we know it. Don't forget, we are bound by time and space. We measure our lives with time. God is not bound by time and space. The Bible tells us that a thousand years are but a day to God. So while we may wonder why it takes God so long to clean things up, we forget that God has no conception of time. His creation will come and go quickly in light of eternity, even though it seems like a long time to us.

The fact is, all throughout human history, people are born and they die. Many die tragically, seemingly innocent of anything other than being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nobody who got on those hijacked planes today, nobody who went to work at the World Trade Center today, nobody who went to work at the Pentagon today, thought they would never make it back home. The Bible clearly tells us that tomorrow is promised to none of us. That is why we must make the most of today, and treat it like the precious gift it is.

We must find ways to serve Him, even if that is simply being kind to someone you meet along the way. We should never take for granted our daily time with the Lord in prayer and the Word, since that is the only relationship we take with us into eternity. Never take your life for granted, since you never know when and how it will end. Until God steps in and wipes this creation away as He has promised to do one day, there will be evil in the world, and innocent people will tragically die.

Is this the start of the end times? Only God knows for sure. In my spiritual gut, I believe today was a VERY big day in the overall end time events. Any time someone tries to take a specific current event and match it up with a passage of Scripture, be VERY CAUTIOUS of that person. That is an extremely dangerous game. My gut instinct about what happened today is in this context. There is no doubt that the United States has played a special role in God's overall plan. This nation was blessed from its founding and used by God to bring millions and millions of souls worldwide to the Kingdom.

I have shared in the past how I was very concerned that in the last 40 years we have squandered our blessing through the moral decay we have allowed this nation to undergo. The destruction of the family, abortion, compromising the Word of God, have led to the United States to be much like Israel in the Old Testament. I have warned you, and have no doubt that without dealing with these issues immediately, God will eventfully take His hand of protection and blessing off of our great nation, just like He did at times with Israel.

The Holy Spirit quickened in me this morning as I watched what happened, that "God allowed this to happen to our great nation." Only God knows the day and time of the return of Christ, but the Bible says it will be in the twinkling of an eye. The Word of God clearly tells us that we are living in the last days. Today's event for me was simply more confirmation of that.

The question many are asking is, "What can I do?" Pray and serve. Today is a wake-up call for all of God's children to realize how serious this battle is. We have it way too easy here in the United States. We have the freedom to worship God any way that we want, we face minimal if any persecution, we have the resources of the greatest nation in the world. Yet despite all of that, the majority of God's children here are spiritually fat and lazy.

We pay very little cost to be called a child of God. I think about those early Christians, how they sat in the Roman prisons, waiting to be fed to the lions. They knew that there was a price to be a Christian, and were happy to pay it. I think about how a handful of common men after our Lord's death, burial, and resurrection turned the world of their day upside down with the Good News of Jesus Christ. How? They were sold out and committed to share the Gospel with everyone. They knew the price of being a Christian was their very life. It no longer belonged to them, but belonged to God.

I pray that today will be a wake-up call in your life that being a Christian has a price attached to it. So many are focused on this brief time here, instead of the eternity that awaits each of us. They forget that their role here is to be a servant, not be served. I take this message today to the masses, because the majority of the spiritual leaders of our day have no vision, they have no leadership skills, they have no fire to send the people of God out into this sin-filled and evil world and proclaim that Jesus Christ is the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords!!!!!!

My word for you tonight is quit waiting for your pastor, or some evangelist, or a TV preacher, or anyone else to do great things for God. THAT IS WHY GOD HAS RAISED YOU UP IN THESE LAST DAYS. TO DO GREAT THINGS FOR HIM. No football player ever won the Super Bowl, no baseball player ever won the World Series by sitting in the stands. You have to get out on the field and work hard every day, give it 100%, and expect God to use you to share the hope and love of Christ with this dying world.

I PRAY TONIGHT THAT YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN, THAT EVERYONE WHO DIED IN THIS TRAGEDY TODAY WILL BE A REMINDER TO YOU THAT THE ENEMY IS OUT TO KILL, STEAL, AND DESTROY, AND THAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU!!!!...YOU!!!...FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS!!!!!!

I love you and care about you so much. I am not afraid of the events of today, I am challenged by them. I see them as an incredible opportunity to share Christ with a world that is hurting, lost, and looking for answers. We have the answers for this world, and they are in a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Bad things will happen to good people in this evil world until God brings this world to an end.

We ARE living in the end times according to Scripture. We each have a responsibility as a Christian to be about our Father's business until either Christ comes or God tells us our work here is over and calls us home. May we never forget that we must work while it is still light, that night is coming. May you and your family be richly blessed during these extraordinary times in which we live.

My friend, let me take this time to ask you if you died today, are you 100% sure that you will spend your eternity with Jesus? If you can't answer that question yes, or you are not sure, please go to: https://liveprayer.com/salvation.cfm Pray and ask God to open your heart before you read this information. This is the most important decision that you will make in this life. I am praying for you my friend!!!

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

Bill Keller
