Daily Devotional for Wednesday October 30, 2024
If God allows Kammy to take power on November 5th Christians will be an enemy of the government? and, Paying the price to be a Christian!
DAILY DEVOTIONAL WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 30, 2024
(Mark 6:14-29)
***PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM BILL KELLER: 6 days until the election! Pray this prayer every morning until after the election! Jeremiah 18:8: “If that nation against whom I have pronounced, turns from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them!” (Also, that means Biden only has 82 days until he is out of office!!!)
***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: If God allows Kammy to take power on November 5th, please understand that if you voted for Trump, more important, if you are a Christian, YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE AN ENEMY OF THE GOVERNMENT! My friend, this is not hyperbole or fear mongering. Don’t believe me? Ask the 1500 innocent citizens who were in DC on January 6th and tracked down by their government, many enduring pre-dawn SWAT raids at their homes, put thru rigged pre-trial holds, and faced creative charges by the government in front of biased US District judges and DC juries to insure they would spend as much time in prison as possible. Their lives were ruined and that was the government’s goal! Most of these people were either outside the Capitol or were waived in by the Capitol Police and spent less than 5 minutes peacefully walking thru the building. I TOLD YOU IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE JANUARY 6TH FEDSURRECTION THAT ONE PURPOSE WAS TO TRY AND KEEP DONALD TRUMP FROM EVER BECOMING PRESIDENT AGAIN, AND TO UNFAIRLY TAR ANYONE WHO VOTED FOR AND SUPPORTED TRUMP AS A DOMESTIC TERRORIST! Over the last 4 years they have made an example of these people as a warning to anyone in the future who dares to vote for and support Trump! Just yesterday Steve Bannon was released after serving 4 months in Federal Prison. His crime? He refused to honor a subpoena from Pelosi’s illegitimate J6 committee that would force him to violate Constitutionally protected conversations with President Trump and Merrick Garland’s DOJ prosecuted him. A few months earlier they prosecuted Trump senior advisor Peter Navarro who also spent 4 months in Federal Prison for the same issue. For the record, this is the SAME charge several years ago that IRS executive Lois Lerner faced when she withheld non-profit status from conservative groups and thumbed her nose at a Congressional subpoena, and Obama AG Eric Holder who headed up the deadly “Fast and Furious” gun running operation and also thumbed his nose at a Congressional subpoena. NEITHER LERNER OR HOLDER FACED PROSECUTION FOR DOING THE EXACT SAME THING BANNON AND NAVARRO DID!
As I have been warning you for years, if God allows Kammy to rise to power, she will continue the weaponizing of the Federal Government to target those who publicly support Donald Trump, but just as important, target Bible-believing Christians! Again, don’t believe me? In these past 4 years the Biden/Harris administration has gone after traditional Catholics as well as those in the pro-life movement. THAT IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF WHAT THEY WILL DO IF THEY CONSOLIDATE POWER ON NOVEMBER 5TH! The Joel Osteens and prosperity pimp preachers who stay within the 4 walls of the church will not have any problems. The fake churches who advocate for killing babies, perverting God’s Holy Institute of Marriage, promote those who engage in sexual deviancy of all kinds, push social issues like illegal immigration and climate change, and pastors and churches who support the evil administration, those “Christians” will not have a problem. No, those who will be targeted are those who dare to speak out against a wicked government in the marketplace, who take the Truth of God’s Word and the Gospel to the lost and hurting masses outside of the church, THEY WILL BE THE ONES TARGET TO BE MADE AN EXAMPLE OF JUST LIKE JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS BEHEADED FOR SPEAKING OUT AGAINST THE KING! In 248 years of the United States, Christians in this nation have been virtually free from persecution especially by our government due to Constitutional protections. IF GOD ALLOWS KAMMY TO TAKE POWER ON NOVEMBER 5TH, THAT WILL NO LONGER BE THE CASE. THESE LAWLESS PEOPLE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION! Pray my friend. In less than a week the course of this nation will be set for many generations to come. We will either continue to enjoy the country we have known during our lives, or it will become something unrecognizable and never again return to be the greatest nation in the history of mankind because it was birthed by Almighty God! PRAY!

Paying the price to be a Christian. I have always admired and tried to pattern my ministry after the prophets of the Old Testament. These were men of God who weren't very popular, hated by the established religious leaders, shunned by most of the people, men who couldn't' be bought, who refused to compromise their message for fame and fortune, and who understood their calling in life was to faithfully and obediently deliver the Word of God to the people. Men like Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Micah, and Jonah. John the Baptist was another in that line of great prophets whose only goal in life was to faithfully serve the Lord no matter what the cost.
It costs most people in the United State virtually nothing to become a Christian. Let me explain. Of course we know Christ paid the cost for our salvation when he gave His very life on the cross. He paid in full the cost of our salvation. However, when we accept the Lord as our Savior by faith, we literally give our lives to Him. The Bible says that we are bought with a price and that it is no longer our life any longer, that it belongs to Christ. Getting saved is literally an act of surrender where we give our very life to the Lord. We belong to Him.
The question I have for you today is how many really do that? How many people really give their lives completely and totally to the Lord? What price do you pay to be a follower of Christ? Most can't even pay the price it takes to get up on Sunday morning and go to church! There are many places in the world where accepting the Lord is literally a death sentence. People understand that by accepting the Lord as their Savior they are possibly going to lose their life. They know going in that the price to become a follower of Christ could be their life! I wonder how many people would come forward to accept Jesus while they played "Just As I Am" knowing that accepting Christ could very possibly mean getting killed?
WE LOVE THE BENEFITS OF BECOMING A CHRISTIAN, BUT NEVER EXPECT TO HAVE TO PAY ANY PRICE FOR BEING A FOLLOWER OF JESUS!
Most of the Old Testament prophets put their very lives on the line every time they spoke, "thus sayeth the Lord," since it was rarely a popular word and would upset someone. In declaring the Word of God they called out those who lived their lives in rebellion to God and His Word, which often included the political leaders of the day as well as the rich and powerful whose god was this temporal world. In declaring the Word God gave them to speak, they would call out the religious leaders of the day who were more worried about profiting off of God and living a life of ease and luxury.
***I find it interesting that thousands of years later the hard Truth of the Word still calls out those who live in rebellion to God's Truth, still calls out the political leaders of the day, still calls out the rich and powerful whose god is this world, and still calls out the religious leaders of the day who have made a business of the Gospel !!!
In reading about John the Baptist and the Old Testament prophets, they didn't have buildings. They went to the people. They didn't have huge staffs, since they were servants of God, not men who were being served. They didn't have all the luxuries of the day, since their desires weren't for the things of this world but the things of God. However, I don't ever read about any of them starving to death or walking around naked or going without since God always provided what they needed, and they trusted Him each day for their provision.
John the Baptist knew that by telling King Herod the truth about taking his brother's wife he would possibly be signing his death warrant. But John wasn't worried about his life, only about obediently delivering the Word of God. I think about Stephen in Acts 7. Again, here was a true man of God not worried about his life, only delivering the Word of God faithfully and without compromise. He knew that by telling the truth to the Sanhedrin they would probably kill him. But he wasn't going to compromise or water down the Truth even if it cost him his life. As they stoned Stephen to death, Jesus rose and stood to welcome Stephen into Glory for his faithfulness!!!
On this day in October 2024, right this very minute, there are brothers and sisters in Christ in many places around the world giving their very lives for the faith. The disciples of Jesus who ran to save their lives the night our Lord was taken by the Romans, were all eventually martyred for their faith in Christ except for John. Hundreds of thousands of men and women over the years have obediently laid down their life for the cause of Christ. These heroes of the faith knew their citizenship was not of this world, but a better one. They were not bound by the temporal things of this life, but by the high calling of the Gospel, even unto death!!!
I love you and care about you so much. What price do YOU pay for your faith? Most won't ever be asked to pay the ultimate price and give their life for the Lord, but my question to you today is would you? That is only a question you can answer. The fact is Jesus gave His life for you, would you be willing to give your life for Him? If you would, then what have you got to lose by speaking up for the Lord and serving Him each day? If you are willing to die for Christ, than taking the ridicule, scorn, harassment, and whatever else you may have to face for standing for and serving Christ should be easy.
In my personal life, I still remember vividly the first death threat I received after Liveprayer was about 1 month old. It stunned me. It didn't seem real. It did cause me to sit down and decide if I was really ready to possibly die for the cause of Christ. Over the past 25 yrs online and 22 on TV, I have received an average of 8 death threats a month. I've been told there are several fatwas issued by Muslim groups calling for my death. I don't fear death since I know where my eternal home is. I also know that as long as the Lord has work for me to do, NOTHING will happen to me. The Lord will watch over me and protect me until my work here is finished.
I will be praying for you today. Pray that you will sit down for a few minutes with the Lord and look at what price you pay to be a Christian. More important, what price are you willing to pay to be a Christian? It is a legitimate question since a huge reason we have so much apathy in the Body of Christ is there is little to no price to pay. Trust me, that is going to change very soon. Real persecution of Christians is coming to this nation, and you will have to decide one day if you really want to be called a Christian or not. Like in other parts of the world, simply being identified as a follower of Christ may cost you your very life.
This message today is to prepare you to be part of the true remnant of Christ when playing church, playing Christian will no longer cut it. We are going against a very real foe who is NOT playing games and is deadly serious about taking souls to hell. To fight such an enemy and be victorious, we have to be even more committed and willing to pay whatever the price, even if is our lives, to serve the Lord. The freedom and prosperity of the United States has made Believers here weak. That is why we have very little influence in our culture. Now it is time to rise up, take our stand for Christ, and be willing to pay whatever price we have to to be called a Christian!
In His love and service,
Your friend and co-laborer in His work,
Bill Keller
