***PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM BILL KELLER: Make a conscious choice to find some way to serve the Lord during this Christmas season, even if it is just a prayer or a word of encouragement!

***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, help me to always be prepared to serve You in any way that I can during this Christmas season. 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: Today's nugget as we wind down the last days of 2024 is to encourage you to make the most of every day the Lord blesses you with during this Christmas season and in the coming new year. Be disciplined and make sure you spend some time every day in God's Word. Make it a point to pray MORE each and every day. Every day the Lord blesses you during this blessed time of year and in 2025, find some way to serve Him. Even if it is reaching out to someone you know who is hurting and going thru a difficult time, or handing a stranger a Gospel tract, or sharing a Bible verse with people you know, or taking time to pray for someone. There are a million ways to serve the Lord and with each day He blessed you at this sacred time of the year and in 2025 make sure you take some time in that day, even if it 5-10 minutes, to do something for the Lord! Make the Word, prayer, and service part of everyday God blesses you with!!!

***DECEMBER FINANCIAL UPDATE: AMEN! Thanks to the help of many in the Liveprayer family, we have cleared up the first $35,000 of our October ministry operations. So in the first week of December we still require the final $10,000 to clear up October, the $55,000 from November’s ministry operations, and the $55,000 for December’s operations.

That is a total of $120,000 to end 2024 with all of our ministry operations current. OUR GOD IS ABLE!!!

*******As we are now 11 days 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!!!

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."

As we are just days before we celebrate the birth of our Lord and then the dawn of 2025, I realize that much of what I write each day is geared to those who are in the midst of the storms of life, or warnings of the traps satan has laid designed to kill, steal, and destroy your life. Today, I want to address the vast majority who are reading this who are NOT in a crisis and enjoying the peace, joy, and abundance of this wonderful time of year and that this life can offer to followers of Jesus Christ!

I think it is important from time to time to focus on the fact that we do go through seasons of our life when things are going good. The reality is, God gives us periods of our life when we can enjoy the abundance this life can offer. That does not mean everything is perfect, it never is. But we are not facing great trials and we don't feel like the walls of life are closing in around us.

The important message that I want you to hear today is that when you are in this season, a season of calm, a season of peace, you don't neglect your daily relationship with the Lord. It is very easy for us to take for granted our daily time with the Lord when things are going well in our life. During those times we may not be as motivated to read the Word, to pray, to just have that special time with Him. There may not be the fervor or passion about our daily contact with the Lord as there is when we are in a crisis.

I want to encourage you today that during those periods of calm in your life to continue to be diligent in your daily walk with the Lord. Like any relationship, it is only as strong as what you put into it. Also, there will always be trials and tribulations in this life. Enjoy those seasons of peace, but know without a doubt that there will be challenges in the future and you will need to be able to call upon your faith at those times. Your daily connection with the Lord through the Word, through prayer, is how you keep your faith strong.

I love you and care about you so much. I think the Christian life is inaccurately portrayed as one of continual crisis and need. Because it is usually only in that time of great need people contact Liveprayer, I am guilty of sometimes focusing too much on that aspect of our lives. The fact is most people today are NOT in crisis, their lives are NOT falling apart, they are NOT fighting great battles in their life. Most who read this today are enjoying their life and in the midst of a time of great peace and joy.

I will be praying for you today. Praying that you enjoy this season of God's peace and joy. God gives us these seasons so that we can experience the real abundance this life can offer. You can't really know the peace of this life unless you intimately know the Prince of Peace whose birth we celebrate in a few days. You can't really know the joy of this life unless you know the Author of joy. You can't really know the abundance of this life unless you know the One who came to give us this life more abundantly.

Life is NOT all about pain and misery, but can be wonderful. I pray today that you will enjoy this wonderful gift of life. However, never neglect your daily relationship with the Lord since it is only because of that relationship with HIM that this life is wonderful and full of His peace, joy, and abundance!

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

Bill Keller
