DAILY DEVOTIONAL FRIDAY OCTOBER 24, 2025

(Mark 5:25-34)

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

Pray daily, read the Word daily, it will help you to learn to hear the Lord's voice more clear and help you to have greater discernment.

On three occasions over the 26+ years of Liveprayer we found ourselves at a difficult place only God could help us overcome. Today is the fourth, and the same God who moved on our behalf the last 3 times is the same God who will lead us to victory this time! In every case the Lord has used a human instrument! Today, I need everyone to pray and GIVE the most generous year-end gift you can! Satan is a liar and a loser!

We are still trying to clear up the final $15,000 from our August shortfall and the $55,000 from September. I am praying for several of our friends who God has blessed and enabled to help me with a special gift in the coming days to insure we at least clear up the August and September shortfall of $70,000. Pray, seek the Lord, and give as the Lord purposes in your heart! AMEN! To give a gift to Liveprayer at: http://liveprayer.com/donate.cfm

***Daily Personal Prayer For You***

Dear Lord, thank you for the strength you give me each day to be victorious over my enemies. I know satan is out to kill, steal, and destroy, but he is a defeated foe. Through you, I HAVE THE VVICTORY! No matter what things may look like in the natural, let me never forget that there is victory in Jesus. Because you have won the victory, I have won the victory. Thank you Jesus! It is in your name I pray…AMEN!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

Two comments on the breaking story of gambling on NBA basketball games. As most long time members of the Liveprayer family know, sports has been a passion of mine since I can remember. I really don’t have hobbies per se, my whole life revolves around serving the Lord and the time I take to unwind usually involves watching sports. I am not going to waste time going into all that is involved in the current criminal scandal, but I do want to make a general statement. What did these professional sports leagues who for most of my life treated gambling like the plague, something that could destroy them (correctly so), when just a few years ago they made the decision to get in bed with the world of gambling?

You didn’t need to be a prophet to know this day was bound to come, and trust me this is only the tip of the iceberg of what is already happening in ALL professional sports leagues we don’t know about yet and future gambling scandals sure to come in the future. It would be like a church renting out their fellowship hall to a strip joint. No matter how much money it might bring in, everyone knows it is wrong at every level. Who will be shocked when they find out one of the deacons is having an affair with a girl that is working in the strip joint? I apologize for such a crude analogy, but it is a very accurate one!

The other comment I want to make is when I saw the incredible law enforcement effort that was undertaken over a 4 year period, NO LEAKS, I was impressed. I was also frustrated and here is why. As important as this sports gambling prosecution may be, how much more important is it to put together a similar major prosecution against criminals in the highest government offices of the land starting with the Presidency going back the last decade that were a real assault on American democracy.

This would not just include Federal govt. officials, but their non-government and media co-conspirators. This ongoing criminal enterprise started with the illegal spying of a rival Presidential campaign that morphed into the illegal spying of a sitting President, to a completely bogus Special Counsel investigation into the sitting President and his inner circle knowing from day one it was a hoax, to two fake impeachments, the steal of the 2020 Presidential election, a government led insurrection used to blame on their political opponents (think the Reichstag fire in Germany in 1933), to 3 years of corrupt lawfare designed to keep Trump from being able to run for President in 2024, and top of 2 failed assassination attempts on Trump’s life in 2024 that we still have zero answers to.

God bless this massive government pro sports gambling prosecution, but where is the massive government prosecution the great country of the United States and our democracy are calling out for???

***October Financial Update***

I need your help today. 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 $15,000 of that has come in during the first weeks of October bringing our shortfall down to $70,000. I am praying that we can clear up this shortfall in the coming days so we can work on the $55,000 we require for our October ministry operations in the final days of the month. 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 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 know that a large percentage of people reading these words need God's healing touch. Many of you are reading these words today in tremendous pain. Many of you are reading these words today as you face an upcoming surgery. Many of you are reading these words today as you deal with a serious disease. Many of you are reading these words today as you are trying to heal from a sickness or injury.

Every person reading these words today has a family member, friend, or someone you know who needs God's healing touch. Let me say this very clearly, GOD IS STILL IN THE HEALING BUSINESS IN FEBRUARY OF 2025!

Out of the 40,000+ emails for prayer we receive every day here at Liveprayer, out of the phone calls I take from viewers of the Liveprayer TV program, healing is one of the top 3 requests along with financial problems and relationship issues. Over 8 million of the 30 million praise reports we have received since we started Liveprayer over 26 years ago are from people God has healed.

Rarely a day goes by on the TV program that a caller doesn't share a praise report of God's healing. Don't forget, Jesus healed 10 lepers and only one came back to say thank you, so I have no doubt God has healed 10x more people who we never heard back from.

GOD IS STILL IN THE HEALING BUSINESS IN OCTOBER OF 2025!

As you read these words today I want to remind you of a great truth. GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS. What that simply means is what God has done for someone else, God will do for you. Please, let me say that one more time so you can let it sink into your Spirit. What God has done for someone else, God will do for YOU!!!

In the Bible, we read about the woman with the issue of blood. God's Word tells us that she spent all of her money on the doctors of her day trying to get better without any success. Then one day she heard about a man named Jesus coming to her town who was doing great miracles, including healing people. With no other hope, she exercised that "measure of faith" each person has and began to believe Jesus could heal her.

We read how when she got to the place Jesus was ministering, a great crowd, the Bible calls it a "throng," was already present. Now it would have been very easy for this woman to get discouraged after seeing all the people gathered around Jesus and simply give up and go home. But you see this woman was not going to be denied the opportunity to see our Lord, the One she was believing could heal her.

We read how she pressed through the crowd of people. I can picture this woman elbowing her way past people, pushing them out of her way, wading through this sea of humanity foot by foot until she was finally close enough to reach out and touch the hem of the garment Jesus was wearing. The Bible tells us that the moment she touched the hem of His garment she was instantly healed.

Please understand that there was nothing magical about what Jesus was wearing that day. His garment had no magical healing powers. It simply became a point of contact for her faith. She had the faith to believe as she stretched out her hand and grabbed the hem of His garment that she would be healed, and she was!!!

Let me share something exciting with you today. There is a powerful truth in the Book of Hebrews that tells us "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Listen to me carefully now. The powerful meaning of that truth for YOUR life today is simply this. The very same Jesus who healed that woman we read about in the Bible who had the issue of blood, is the very same Jesus who is here to heal you today.

Please, stop for a moment and meditate on this powerful truth. THE VERY SAME JESUS WE READ ABOUT HEALING THE WOMAN WITH THE ISSUE OF BLOOD, IS THE VERY SAME JESUS WHO IS HERE TO HEAL YOU TODAY!!!

I love you and care about you so much. My friend, as I come to you today I want you to know that not a day goes by I don't see the healing power of Jesus Christ at work in people's lives. Every single day I receive praise reports from people Christ has healed.

If you need God's healing touch in your body today, if there is someone that you know that needs to be healed, I want to encourage you to be like that woman with the issue of blood and exercise that "measure of faith" today. Just like she reached out to touch the hem of the garment Jesus was wearing, you can reach out to Him today through prayer.

Stop what you are doing right now and call on the name of Jesus. Reach out to him IN FAITH ask Him to heal you or the one you love. As you do, remember that the very same Jesus you are crying out to today, is the very same Jesus who healed the woman with the issue of blood. He is no respecter of persons and what He did for her, He will do for you. As the healing virtue of Christ flowed through her body and she was made whole, Jesus looked at her and said, "Go, your faith has made you whole."

I want you to know that I will be praying for you today. I will be standing in agreement with you today as you take that step of faith for God's healing touch on your body or the body of the one you love. GOD IS STILL IN THE HEALING BUSINESS IN OCTOBER OF 2025! May you hear Him say to you, "Go, your faith has made you whole!!!"

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

Bill Keller
