LivePrayerDaily Devotional for Wednesday November 13, 2024
The lie of being transgender! and, What to do when you fail God!
DAILY DEVOTIONAL WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 13, 2024
(Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:9)
***PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM BILL KELLER: The election is over, but now the real war begins. This is NOT a time to stop praying for President Trump’s protection or for God’s favor as he puts his administration together. Obama and globalists have really done lots of damage to the nation the last 4 years. To the economy, obviously to the border, to foreign policy. The fact is, it is impossible to have done this much damage without it being on purpose. So Trump has lots of challenges ahead to fix the incredible mess he has inherited. Please, continue to pray for him, his administration, and for God’s favor and blessings as we return our land to greatness once again. AMEN!
***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, help me to always be prepared to serve You in any way that I can. My life belongs to You. I am ready, willing, and able to answer Your call as I go through my life each day. Use me for Your glory. I am Yours! In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!
***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: A medical doctor had her YouTube account blocked for “hate speech.” What did this doctor say that was so hateful? She stated that if a healthy person asked a doctor to cut off their perfectly healthy right arm, or asked a doctor to cut off their perfectly healthy left leg, that person would be deemed to have some sort of mental illness. No sane person would do such a thing to themselves. However, if a woman of girl asks a doctor to cut off her perfectly healthy breasts, or if a man or boy asked a doctor to cut off his perfectly healthy penis, you’re “transgender.” For the record, a person who doesn’t know what gender they are suffers from a mental illness, and sadly with children it was adults who confused them since they have no clue about human sexuality. Sadly, soon after Liveprayer signed on in August of 1999, I wrote a Daily Devotional telling people that there would come a day when simply telling basic, simple truths would be deemed “hate speech!” I have been on the Southern Poverty Law Center “hate map” for 12 years. Because I share that God defines marriage is one man and one woman for one lifetime, or that choosing to engage in perverted sex with people of the same sex, or that Islam is a false religion, I am a hate monger that society needs to be warned about. As the Bible warns, in the last days the lie will be the truth and the truth will be the lie.

***NOVEMBER FINANCIAL UPDATE: I NEED YOUR HELP TODAY!!! Thanks to the prayers and generous sacrifices of many in the Liveprayer family, we have now covered the first $45,000 of the $55,0000 September shortfall. That leaves the final $10,000 from September’s ministry operations and the $55,000 we required for our October for a total of $65,000 to clear up our shortfalls and begin working on the $55,000 we will require for our November operations. OUR GOD IS ABLE!
It is critical that we clear up the final $10,000 from September since those obligations are all seriously past due. Please be praying about what you can do to help me in these coming days to get the balance of September taken care of! THANK YOU!
*******As we are now less than 7 weeks until the end of 2024, please be praying about a special year-end gift to Livprayer! For many, a gift to God's work here will help on your taxes since you are either going to give the money to the government to waste, or to Liveprayer to get HIS Truth out to the masses and save souls!!!
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!!!

Today's Devotional is a powerful word about something we all do every day, fail God. Even though it is the goal of every follower of Christ to live our lives perfectly as He did, the Bible tells us that we all sin and fall short of God's glory. It also says that if we say we don't sin we are a liar. So accepting the fact that we all fail God at times, I want to focus today on how we respond when we fail.
Listen to me closely, you will never be able to live this life victoriously until you learn the proper response when you fail God!
The most important thing you can do when you fail is to accept responsibility for your actions. We are masters at blaming others when we fail. As I share with you often, man has not really changed since the Garden of Eden. When Adam failed, he blamed Eve. When Eve was confronted with her failure by God, she blamed the serpent. Admitting you were wrong, accepting responsibility for what you did is the most important thing you can do when you fail. When you take responsibility for your failure, you become sorry for letting God down and go to Him with a broken and contrite heart asking for forgiveness.
None of us are immune from sin. That is why God gives us His special promise in 1 John 1:9. It tells us if we will confess our sins, He will forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We must trust His Word, know He has forgiven us, and move on to fulfill our purpose of serving and glorifying God with our lives. You see, we are no good to God when we allow our sin to strangle us, to paralyze us. The enemy loves to use our sin against us, to hold it over our head. But the Bible says that when God forgives us, He not only forgives, but forgets. If God forgets, then we need to as well so that we can move forward and live victorious, productive lives for the Kingdom.
Jesus tells us in John 8:44 that satan is a liar, that he is the father of lies. When he speaks, he speaks his native language, LYING. One of the lies of the enemy is to use your sin against you, to tell you that you are no good. He will tell you that you are not worthy of God's love and grace. Let me share this with you, on our own we are not worthy, but because of Christ WE BECOME WORTHY! You see, when you know Christ as your Savior it is not your righteousness that God sees, but it is the righteousness of Christ.
We try our best each day to live like Jesus. We are all faced with the temptations of this world. We are all faced with the traps the enemy lays for us. From time to time we ALL fall into sin. How we respond to our sin is critical. Running from God is a natural response, but the wrong one. We quit reading the Word, quit praying, quit going to church, which makes us an even bigger target for the enemy. Instead, we must run TO God, accept responsibility for our actions and have the guts to say, "I sinned."
I love you and care about you so much. The point I want you to understand today is not if we sin, but when we sin, what our response must be. I will pray for you today that when you fail, you will accept responsibility for your sins and ask God for forgiveness, stand on His precious promise in 1 John 1:9 and move forward with your life. God has much for you to do. He has a great plan for your life. Let me assure you today that He loves you. Whatever you may have done doesn't change that. Our failure DOES NOT change God's love for us!!!
In His love and service,
Your friend and co-laborer in His work,
Bill Keller
