Today!

DAILY DEVOTIONAL TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 17, 2024

(Psalms 123:2, 40:1; Isaiah 40:31; James 1:4)

***PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM BILL KELLER: God only wants ONE THING from you today, and each day, you, fully, wholly, unconditionally surrendered to Him!

***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: In Pakistan, a Christian man has been sentenced to death for blasphemous text messages. DEATH FOR BLASPHEMOUS TEXT MESSAGES!!! Now, while I would ask you to pray for this dear brother who will most likely die for his faith, I am also sharing this with you for another reason. When will Christians here in the United States start being put to death for what the government may consider a “blasphemous text?” Before you stop reading and dismiss this as a foolish statement that could never happen, please indulge me and read on. Major social network companies are randomly censoring Christian content as I speak. Many Christian websites have been taken down because their content was deemed to be hateful. Me, Bill Keller, and internet evangelist has been listed on the SPLC “hate map” for the last 12 years because I simply preach the truth of the Bible about the sin of homosexuality, God's plan for marriage, and the false religion of Islam. Up until a year ago if I told you over ½ of the churches in the United States would be closed down by the government with no firm date of reopening and people would literally be put in jail for simply going to church, you would have called me crazy!!! IF YOU DON'T THINK WE WILL EVER HAVE A GOVERNMENT RUN BY ATHEISTIC GLOBALISTS WHO ONE DAY WILL BAN CHRISTIANITY, YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION!!! Just read your Bible! Due to their sin and rebellion, the children of Israel who freely and openly worshipped the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, were taken over by heathen nations who forbid them to worship their God. Today, you can be put to death for your faith in Jesus in China, Iran, Pakistan, North Korea, and many other countries. Christians are being jailed as we speak in the UK and Canada for simply preaching the Gospel under their “hate speech” laws. THE DAY THEY WILL PUT TO DEATH A CHRISTIAN IN THE UNITED STATES FOR SENDING BLASPHEMOUS TEXT MESSAGES IS MORE OF A REALITY AND CLOSER THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE!!! ARE YOU AWAKE YET?????

“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."

No doubt one of the most difficult things we do in our journey with the Lord is follow Him to be where He wants us to be, and doing what He wants us to be doing. I have no doubt that it is the ultimate goal of every follower of Christ, everyone that has surrendered their lives to Christ. Having that as our goal, achieving that goal is something EVERY Christian struggles with throughout their life. The million dollar question is how do we get to the exact place God wants us to be, doing the exact thing God wants us to be doing with our life each day.

To find the answer, we have to start with the big picture. Each person that lives was created with the same purpose. That is to serve and glorify God, in this life and for eternity. The starting point of being where God wants you to be, doing the things God wants you to do is in surrendering your life completely, unconditionally to Him. It is the one and only thing that God has ever asked us to do. The fact is, the Bible says that if you have accepted Christ as your Savior, it is no longer your life, it belongs to Him. So in reality, you are only surrendering to Him what is already His to begin with.

Completely surrendering our life to the Lord is one of the most difficult things for any person to do. Our flesh says NO, it is MY LIFE. Satan is there with his lie that you can give God a little bit of your life, but also keep some for yourself. Jesus said that you can't serve two masters, you have to choose who you will serve. The fact is, it is in LOSING our life that we find it.

Many people have tried living with one foot in the church, and one foot in the world. I know I did for many years. I bought into satan's lie that I could go to church on Sunday, give the church a big check every week, do a few things on the side for God, but still keep my life and do whatever I WANTED. I am ashamed to admit that it took going to Federal Prison before I finally surrendered my life completely to the Lord.

The rich young ruler came to Jesus and when Jesus told him to give away all that he had and follow Him, to turn from the things of this world and completely surrender his life to Christ, the Bible says he went away "sorrowful." When it came time to choose following Jesus or keeping the things of this world, he decided he could not let go of the things of this world.

As Jesus said, YOU CAN'T SERVE TWO MASTERS! You can't serve God and mammon at the same time. God isn't impressed with our "scraps of service,' God wants our life! You will NEVER be right where God wants you to be, doing exactly what God wants you to do with your life until you first surrender your life 100% to Him! Not 70%, not 80%, not 90%, not even 99% . . . 100%!!!

Once you come to that place where you completely surrender your life to Christ, the challenge then is to find out exactly where God wants you to be, and doing exactly God wants you to do in serving Him. The starting place is to determine what you have a passion for and what are you talented in. It is God that gives each person a passion for those things we love in life. It is also God that gives us our gifts and talents.

That is why those young adult years are so critical. It is during those years that as we are exposed to different things, we develop a like for some things over others, and start to understand the gifts God has given to us. GOD GIVES EVERYONE GIFTS, NATURAL ABILITY IN CERTAIN AREAS, BUT WE STILL MUST DEVELOP AND PERFECT THOSE GIFTS OVER TIME.

In addition to gaining an understanding about what things in life we have a passion for, finding out what our natural gifts are, God will open and close doors during our life to guide us where HE wants us to be. Remember, there are NO coincidences with God. Nothing happens by accident. God allows events to happen in our life, allows people to come into our life, to guide us to where He wants us to be, doing what He wants us to be doing. I love you and care about you so much. After completely surrendering our life to the Lord, the most important thing we can do is spend time with HIM each day in prayer and the Word. God speaks to us through His living Word, through that "still small voice" as we pray, in addition through other people and our circumstances. As our lives are yielded to the Lord, become empty vessels for Him to use, God WILL place you right where He wants you to be, doing exactly what He wants you to be doing.

Never forget, our life is made up of many seasons. Throughout the course of our journey God may have us doing MANY things for the Kingdom. That is why we must be close to the Lord each day, listening to Him with our spiritual ears and watching Him with our spiritual eyes. We are soldiers in HIS army, and as any soldier knows, your commander may have you fighting in one place today and somewhere totally new tomorrow.

I will be praying for you today. Praying that you will take time to meditate on these words. The last element is patience, WAITING ON THE LORD. Again, it is God who opens and closes doors in our life. There are times we need to be patient, wait on the Lord to not only show us a door, but open that door.

The goal of every follower of Christ is to be where God wants us to be, doing what God wants us to do with our life. We achieve that goal by first surrendering our life completely to the Lord, by following those God-given passions while using the gifts He gives us, by staying in a close intimate daily relationship with Him so we can "hear" and "see" Him, and be patiently waiting on the Lord to guide us. The ultimate in life is to wake us each day knowing you are exactly where God wants you to be and doing exactly what God wants you to be doing with your life. I will be praying for you today as you come to that place in your life.

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

Bill Keller
