***PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM BILL KELLER: Please take 5 minutes today and pray for God to have mercy on our nation this November 5th.

**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: Proverbs 29:2, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” I want you to pray over this verse for the next week. This nation is under God's judgement and only God's people can lead this nation out of the spiritual abyss we are in. Having righteous people in office can't do that job that can only be achieved by the followers of Jesus Christ!!! THAT IS YOU AND ME!!! IT IS OUR MOMENT ON THE STAGE FO HISTORY WHICH WILL JUDGE US IN THE YEARS AFTER WE HAVE GONE ON TO OUR REWARDS IN GLORY!!!

*“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 11 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. 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."

Science by far was my worst subject is school. I am not sure why, but God didn't seem to bless me with many gifts in that area. I do remember though, that salt was used in the days of Jesus as a preservative to keep germs from destroying food. So when Jesus told us to be the "salt of the earth," in essence, He was saying that we were to act as a spiritual preservative.

THAT SPIRITUAL PRESERVATIVE IS NEEDED TODAY LIKE NEVER BEFORE!!!

I have often thought about this command of our Lord as I look at our country in the year 2020. There is a paradox that really troubles me. On the one hand, we have more churches, more para-church ministries, incredible resources like Christian television, radio, magazines, books, commit billions of dollars annually to promote the Gospel . . . yet on the other hand abortions continue virtually unabated, legalized gambling is a part of our daily culture, legalized pot, porn and the adult entertainment industry is growing by 25% annually, divorce rates are at an all-time high, the problems with our children are well documented, suicides have been up at an alarming rate over the past 5 years and rising even more in recent months due to the Chinese Flu!

Do you see my point? Common sense would dictate that the Christian influence would be affecting our society in a positive direction, yet that is not the case.

The comforting fact is that despite the negative trends of our society, can you imagine the chaos and utter rebellion we would live in without the increased Christian influence? As many negatives as we may be able to point out, I want to tell you today that it is ONLY the influence of God's people that has kept our society from total depravity.

God's people HAVE been the "salt of the earth" and acted as a preservative, or we would be living in a much different world. There is no place in my Bible that tells me we will live in a world that is void of sin and rebellion, since "we have all fallen short of the glory of God." Jesus never promised that we would live in such a place on earth, and even prepared his disciples for that fact just hours before his death when he told them that in this world they WOULD have many trials and tribulations.

Until our work here is finished, and we are called home to be with the Lord for eternity, we are expected to be His "salt," His "light," in this sin-filled, dark world!!!

My challenge to you this day is simple. Are you being the "salt of the earth" Jesus has called you to be? Are we acting as a spiritual preservative, or are we just watching the decay around us? God has given you gifts, talents, abilities to act as a spiritual preservative during this life. This is not an option, or something we choose to do if we feel like it.

When you accepted Christ as your Savior, it became your responsibility as a child of God to act as a preserving agent in the world you live in. It is no accident you live where you live, work or go to school where you do, recreate and shop where you do, God has strategically placed you exactly where He wants you to be at this point in time in your life. He needs His "salt" in all places since sin has infested every corner of the world.

I will be praying for you today that God quickens this word to your spirit and you get a complete understanding of how important your life is. That is why no matter how many people God may use an individual or ministry to reach, it is still just a drop in the ocean.

EACH ONE OF GOD'S CHILDREN HAVE A CRITICAL ROLE TO PLAY AS HIS SALT, SINCE GOD USES YOU TO TOUCH LIVES NOBODY ELSE MAY BE ABLE TO TOUCH.

Focus today on how important you are to the Lord, and the calling He has placed on your life each day to be the "salt of the earth" where He has placed you.

I love you, and I care about you so much. It is only in fulfilling our God-given purpose of serving Him and glorifying Him with our lives that we can know the true peace, joy and abundance of this life. Everything else is counterfeit and temporary. I pray that you will be richly blessed today as you take this challenge and focus on allowing God to use you each and every day to serve Him.

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

Bill Keller
