DAILY DEVOTIONAL SUNDAY APRIL 13, 2025
(Matthew 26:3-5)
***LIVEPRAYER CHURCH!!! Haven't been to church yet this week? Join me for this week's service at the LivePrayer Church. This week's message is: “The Triumphant Entries!” Please visit the website at: http://liveprayerchurch.com and be part this week's worship service. Each Sunday there will be a new service at 12:01am EST
***PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM BILL KELLER: As we celebrate Palm Sunday today, the day Jesus made His triumphant entry into Jerusalem, never forget that if you know Jesus as your Savior by faith you too will make a triumphant entry into HEAVEN when your work here is finished. WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY THAT WILL BE!!!
**DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, thank You for obediently going to Jerusalem on this day we celebrate as "Palm Sunday." It was an act of pure obedience. Please oh Lord, let ME be obedient each day and follow You. It is my heart's desire to live a life pleasing and acceptable to You, and that starts with my obedience. In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!
***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: With all of the upheaval in our nation and this fallen world around us, never forget that no politician or global business leader can change the things that only God can! As in our personal lives, if we want to experience God's favor and blessings upon our land, God's people are the only ones who can make that happen. While God can use a political leader or a high profile person to fulfill His plan and purpose, it is YOU, it is ME, it is God's people who must rise up to move His heart. We must lead the people to repentance and to follow His Truth if we want God's favor and blessings. Despite being on the verge of destruction on so many fronts, potential nuclear war with Russia, a trade war with China, the attempted takeover of the country by globalists who seek to reduce the United States to being “just another country,” God can save us if we are found worthy. Now is the time to take our stand for our faith my friend. Over the last 2,000 years, faithful Christians throughout the world have taken a stand for their faith and made their lives count for Christ. NOW, IT IS OUR MOMENT IN HUMAN HISTORY TO DO THE SAME!!! Heaven is guaranteed to those who know Christ by faith, so we have nothing to lose! God has allowed us to be alive at this very moment in human history. May history record that we rose to that moment and helped bring revival to our land seeing a great harvest of souls while moving the hand of God to bring generations of peace and blessings upon our nation! AMEN!!!

***APRIL FINANCIAL UPDATE: I need your help today! We ended the month of March still requiring the final $20,000 from our February ministry operations and the $55,000 we required for March. So far we have covered $15,000 of that final $20,000 from February. IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO COVER THIS LAST $5,000 FROM FEBRUARY ASAP!
That would than leave the $55,000 from March and the $55,000 for April’s ministry operations or $115,000 to end the months with all of our ministry operations current! OUR GOD IS ABLE!!!
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."

I am often amused at the various fringe groups that represent a VERY SMALL MINORITY of people on certain issues, who have been given a prominent "voice" in our society, since most people are afraid to speak out against them. Pro- homosexual groups have found that all they have to do is threaten to call a person or group "homophobic", and they can basically do whatever they want. PETA has learned to effectively use "bully tactics" and "outrageous stunts" to bring its minority view to the masses. If you take a stand for life, you are lambasted for "hating women!"
Listen, my point today is to help you have a better understanding that there are MANY GROUPS out there, I GUARANTEE YOU they will be coming after the church and all Christian organizations. This IS NOT fear talking, this is NOT paranoia talking, this is simply common sense. It IS ALREADY HAPPENING. In our nation today, it is not politically correct to say anything negative about people of who follow the cults and false religions, it is not politically correct to say anything about people who choose to live whatever perverted lifestyle they have chosen to live, it is not politically correct to really say anything bad about anyone...except Bible-believing Christians!
Yet we are called "intolerant". Let me tell you something. The Christian faith is the MOST tolerant faith there is. In the cults, in other faiths, outsiders are NOT welcome. FREE WILL is not part of the picture. IT WAS GOD OUR CREATOR, WHO GAVE US FREE WILL TO MAKE OUR OWN CHOICES. How intolerant is that? It was God who said, "whosoever believeth on Him shall have everlasting life"! WHOSOEVER MEANS ANYONE!!! The Christian faith is the most tolerant faith there is. It is ALL INCLUSIVE!
In today's scripture, the Jewish leadership plotted to get rid of Jesus. There are people in the world today, in our very country, who would love to see the church eliminated and see the Word of God silenced. But as I write these words, I am reminded of that great song Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote that was a standard for the group 'TRUTH' for many years, THE CHURCH TRIUMPHANT. Here are the anointed words from part of that great song of the faith.
READ THEM SLOWLY . . . OVER AND OVER!!!
God Has Always Had A People! Many a foolish conquer made the mistake of thinking that because he had forced the Church of Jesus Christ out of sight, that he had stilled it's voice and snuffed out its life. But God Has Always Had A People! The powerful current of a rushing river is not diminished because it is forced to flow underground. The purest water is the stream that bursts crystal clear into the sunlight after it has fought its way through solid rock. There have been charlatans who like Simon the magician, sought to barter on the open market that power which cannot be bought or sold. But God Has Always Had A People! Men who could not be bought and women who were beyond purchase. Yes, God Has Always Had A People! There have been times of affluence and prosperity when the Church's message was nearly diluted into oblivion by those who sought to make it socially attractive, neatly organized and financially profitable. It has been gold-plated, draped in purple and encrusted with jewels. It has been misrepresented, ridiculed, and scorned. These followers of Jesus Christ have been, according to the whim of the times, elevated as sacred leaders and martyred as heretics. Yet through it all, their marches on that powerful army of the meek, God's chosen people that can't be bought, flattered, murdered or stilled. On through the ages they march. The Church, God's Church Triumphant, is Alive and Well! Now listen child of God. It's alive! Discouraged pastor, it's His Church and it's alive! Lonely Missionary sow your seeds with confidence! It's alive my broken hearted friend! Old saint, you're not alone and forgotten . . . the Church is alive! Busy mother, cast your cares on Jesus! It's alive young student. You're not alone in serving the Lord! Faithful father, there's rest in the Lord! The Church is alive! Cynical skeptic, you haven't killed God with your noisy unbelief. He's Alive! So family of God, raise your hands and praise the Lord. For the Church; God's Church Triumphant, Is Alive and Well!
I love you and care about you very much. In these last days the people of God will be coming under more fire, more persecution, more challenges than ever before. But the key is, as the people of TRUTH, we must hold firm. We must NOT CONFORM to the political correctness of this world, but stand firm for the TRUTH that God has given to us in His Word. It will rarely be a popular position. But the fact is, we are not called to be popular, but faithful. We are not called to be conform to this world, but conform this world to God. We are not asked to hide our "light" in this dark world we live in, but let it shine brightly.
LET US NOT BE ASHAMED TO TELL THIS LOST AND HURTING WORLD, THERE IS ONLY ONE ANSWER, THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY, JESUS CHRIST!!!
PERSONALLY, I REFUSE TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT . . . AND LIVEPRAYER WILL BE HERE EACH DAY, UNTIL THE LORD RETURNS TO SIMPLY SHARE THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD NO MATTER HOW UNPOPULAR THAT MAY BE!!! WILL YOU?????
In His love and service,
Your friend and co-laborer in His work,
Bill Keller
