DAILY DEVOTIONAL WEDNESDAY JANUARY 15, 2025

(Revelation 20:10)

***PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM BILL KELLER: Take 10 minutes today and get alone with the Bible. Focus on a favorite verse, passage, and seek the Lord to make HIS Word real in your life each day.

***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Lord, keep my mind free of the filth of this world. Cleanse it each day with Your Word and let my thoughts be Your thoughts. Help me this day to dwell on You and Your love as I live my life for Your glory. In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!

***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: The lesson being learned from the California fires. What we have seen from the sad scene playing out in southern California is the reality of hiring people based on diversity over merit, promoting failed environmental policies, and a rigged election system to insure diversity and failed policies continue regardless who the politician is. There is no doubt the fires that are plaguing California at this time as they do each year throughout the state are an act of God, just like hurricanes in Florida, and tornadoes in other states each year are an act of God. That is why it is that much more critical that states are PREPARED to deal with these acts of God. The southern California fires could not be prevented, however the amount of damage could have been. I submit that apx. 80% of the damage could have been prevented! That damage was caused due to politicians who were in their positions not due to merit but the color of their skin and or who they choose to have sex with. Add to incompetent people in positions of power with no track record of achievement failed Democratic policies promoting extreme environmental positions and the climate change hoax. THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE HORRIBLE DESTRUCTION IN CALIFORNIA THAT HAS TAKEN 24 LIVE TO DATE THAT WILL BE CLOSER TO 100+ WHEN IT IS ALL OVER, 12,000 STRUCTURES BURNED TO THE GROUND, CAUSING THE EVACUATION OF 150,000 PEOPLE, AND ALREADY COSTING $150 BILLION DOLLARS. The sad reality is things will not change in California no matter how many elites and celebrities huff and puff and complain since California is an entrenched one party state. After decades of being in control, they have rigged the election systems to insure Democrats no matter their name will always win and continue incompetence at the highest levels along with the continued failed liberal policies especially concerning the environment. UNTIL THAT STRANGLEHOLD ON ELECTIONS CAN BE BROKEN, SADLY NOTHING IN CALIFORNIA WILL CHANGE. One last note. California will be looking for billions in aid from the federal government in the aftermath of these fires. I submit the Trump Administration should not give California ONE DIME without conditions that call for competent people in critical infrastructure jobs and changes to the extreme environmental policies grounded in fake climate science. California is NOT going to make these changes on their own so they must be forced to change in exchange for federal dollars. Pray for those in California who have lost loved ones and those who have had their lives turned upside down due to these fires. May they seek the Lord for His strength, peace, and blessings as they rebuild their lives.

We know from Scripture that satan has read the Bible. In Matthew chapter 4 when Jesus was in the desert fasting for 40 days and 40 nights, He was tempted by satan. During the temptation of Christ, satan quoted verses from the Bible to Jesus. Of course, being the great perverter that he is, he purposely misquoted the verses.

So the logical question is, "Why doesn't satan just quit, just give up?" Actually, the answer to that question can be found in our own rebellion to God. I think back on the 10 year period of rebellion in my life. There was rarely a day that I didn't know deep down the way I had chosen to live was wrong. God continually tried to talk to me during those years, but I was not interested in listening.

You see, here is the problem with sin. When you have allowed sin into your life and are living in rebellion to God, SIN CONTROLS YOUR LIFE! Over time your heart becomes hard, you become blind to the truth, and you become a servant to sin. You actually start living for your sin. Your sin consumes you and becomes the number one priority in your life.

Deep down, you know you are wrong. Deep down, you know that you are in complete rebellion to God regardless how the enemy helps you to justify what you are doing. Deep down, you know there will be a huge price to pay but you are so lost in your sin you don't care. You are like a car traveling down a narrow mountain road in the dark with no brakes. It is not a matter of if you end up crashing, only when, and how much damage will there will be.

This is what makes sin, living in rebellion to God so foolish. YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE AN ENDING AND IT WILL BE VERY UNPLEASANT. But you continue in your sin, in your rebellion to God anyway. THAT, is exactly where satan is at and why he doesn't quit. Even though he already knows in the end he will lose and be cast for eternity in the Lake of Fire, he is committed to living in rebellion to God for as long as God allows it.

Here is the message that I am trying to bring home to you today my friend. If you are in bondage to sin in your life, if you are living in rebellion to God today, YOU DON'T HAVE TO CONTINUE! The good news for you today is that you can stop right now, go to God, ask Him to forgive you and not only be forgiven but cleansed from all unrighteousness. You don't have to end up in the hospital, a rehab clinic, jail, or divorce court to stop living in rebellion to God. You can cry out to God today and find freedom from the bondage of whatever sin you are in.

I love you and care about you so much. I realize that many of you reading this today are trapped in sin and living in rebellion to God. Sin carries a very high price. The deeper you get, the higher the price. I pray that you will cut your losses right this moment and turn your heart and life back to the Lord. God loves you very much and is speaking to you through these words today. He will give you the strength to turn from your sin and back to Him if you will just ask Him.

Even though satan continues on his mission to "kill, steal, and destroy" despite knowing he is already defeated, you can turn from your sin and living in rebellion to God and start living in victory TODAY!!!

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

Bill Keller
