DAILY DEVOTIONAL FRIDAY OCTOBER 17, 2025

(I Corinthians 15:57)

***Personal Message For You From Bill Keller***

No matter what the obstacles are, no matter how big and powerful your enemies may be, never forget that the battle is the Lord’s and because Jesus won the victory on the cross, when your faith is in Jesus you are the victor!

***Daily Personal Prayer For You***

This is the day the Lord hath made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!!! Thank You for this wonderful day my Lord. It is a day like none other. There will never be another day like this day. Let me never take for granted even one day of this precious gift of life You bestow upon me. Let me do something this day to bring honor and glory to You. I love You Lord, my life is Yours, use it for Your glory. Thank You for your many blessings, so many I can't even begin to count them. In the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ I pray...AMEN!!!

After 33 years of ministry, a little over 26 years of those years at Liveprayer.com, and next March marking 23 years of Liveprayer TV, God has truly blessed our work. I totally believe one reason the Lord has blessed His work here at Liveprayer is because I have refused to fall into the traps of this world when it comes to our finances.

Serving the Lord the last 1/3 of a century has been a walk of pure faith. No sponsors, no marketing gimmicks, no professional fundraisers, just faith as Paul exercised His faith to support his ministry we read about in the Book of Acts. Paul didn’t have buildings, he didn’t have a big staff that needed to be compensated, he didn’t worry about the luxuries of the day for his personal comfort, all he ever asked for was his basic needs to be met to do the work the Lord called him to do.

If you go back in the Old Testament you had the priests and the prophets. The priests in many cases were concerned about their status in the community. They used the faithful tithes of the people to build grand temples, to wear the finest clothes, eat the most sumptuous food, and live like the elites of their day.

The prophets were mostly shunned by society, their home was a cave, they wore simple garments like sackcloth, and they ate common food. The prophets in the Old Testament were not interested in personal gain or comfort, they lived their life for only one purpose...to serve their God without fear or compromise regardless who might be offended by their words.

I have done my best over 1/3 of a century of serving the Lord to follow the life of those humble prophets of old. For the last 26 years I have not preached in grand cathedrals but used the technology of the day to reach the masses worldwide for the Lord. I have never asked God for anything other than to meet the basic needs we required to do His work here at Liveprayer.

At 67 I am well aware that the day God calls me home is drawing nigh, but I am working as hard today in my service to Him than I ever have so when that moment comes I will stand before my Lord and Savior and receive the only reward I desire. That is to hear my Lord say, “well done thou good and faithful servant!” AMEN!

I NEED YOUR HELP TODAY! Over the last 8 months 3 dear friends of Liveprayer were called home. They finished their race and are now onto their rewards. All 3 were dear friends of God’s work here for over 20 years and were people I could count on to help me when we hit those slow months. I miss the friendship of these dear souls and their faithfulness to help out when I needed it. By God’s grace there are still others who faithfully help as they are able when it is needed.

We ended September still requiring the final $30,000 from our August shortfall and the $55,000 we required for our September ministry operations or $85,000. So far $10,000 of that has come in during the first weeks of October bringing our shortfall down to $75,000. $45,000 of that is required immediately to cover our basic operations that are in serious arrears.

After that $45,000 that is critical, If we can cover the final $30,000 of our shortfall and the $55,000 we require for our October ministry operation, that $85,000 will allow us to enter the final 2 months of November with all of our operations current. OUR GOD IS ABLE!

With the end of the year in just 10 weeks, please be praying about a special year end gift to Liveprayer. Also, if you have had a financial windfall recently thru the sale of some property, a business, some stocks, or possibly an inheritance, pray about tithing a portion of that windfall to Liveprayer today.

Please take a moment today and seek the Lord what you can sacrifice today to help me. With the urgency of needing much of these funds immediately, if you have the ability to wire your gift to our Wells Fargo account or stop by a branch and simply deposit your gift into our account, email me for the details you will need: bkeller@liveprayer.com

Obviously if you want to drop a check in the mail or put your gift on our secure credit card portal that would be much appreciated as well. 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 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."

*To give a gift to Liveprayer you can use your major credit card at: http://liveprayer.com/donate.cfm or you can mail your gift to: Liveprayer, 6662 46th Ave. North, St. Petersburg, FL 33709. All gifts to Liveprayer are 100% tax deductible!

Stocks! A great way to help Liveprayer is by donating stock. The transfer can be made in a way you get the full credit for your donation without having to pay any of the taxes you normally would on gains your stocks may have enjoyed. Contact me for information about this incredible way to help God's work here at Liveprayer: bkeller@liveprayer.com

Live on after you are in Heaven!!! By remembering God's work here at Liveprayer in your will/estate planning, you can still help me share His Truth with the masses, be here for people in their time of greatest need, and help lead the lost to faith in Jesus even after God has called you home!!! God has led many of our friends in the Liveprayer family to remember His work here in their will. Please pray about this opportunity to continue and partner with me in the Lord's work at Liveprayer, even after you are enjoying your rewards and the eternal peace of Heaven! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me at: bkeller@liveprayer.com

I love and care about you so much. Over the last 26+ years of Liveprayer we have had these moments where satan was trying to stop the flow of the money necessary for Liveprayer to operate, and each time God has moved on the hearts of dear friends like you to help us. Never forget, satan is a liar and a loser. It is only a matter of time when he will be cast into his eternal home, hell.

The evil one has used his minions to try and disrupt God’s work here thru attacking our technology, blocking our Daily Devotionals, but those efforts have failed. His only other weapon has been to try and keep us from having the funds we need to operate. I will fight to my last breath in this life to keep sharing His Truth with the hurting masses outside of the four walls of the church and telling the lost that faith in Jesus is their only answer, their only hope.

Thank you for your love, friendship, prayers, and generous sacrifices. Together we will continue to see lives impacted worldwide and souls saved for eternity. 1 Corinthians 15:57 states, "But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ". AMEN!!!

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

Bill Keller
