(Psalm 18)

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

Speak out for the Lord's Truth while you still can!

My friend, I really need your help today! Thanks to the prayer and sacrifice of many, we are down to the final $25,000 of our July shortfall. It is critical to get $20,000 of that shortfall TODAY! If God has put you in a place to help me with a special gift to cover all of that or some portion, please do what you can today so we can have at least this critical $20,000 cleared up TODAY. If you can wire the funds to our bank or make a direct deposit into our account, contact me at: bkeller@liveprayer.com for the information. God bless you and thank you for your love and prayers!

***Daily Personal Prayer For You***

Father, I know this is an evil and sin-filled world I live in. Please, protect me, but don't let me be afraid. Let me be bold in declaring Your Truth to this lost world and not be afraid to speak up. Now more than ever I need Your strength to be the servant You have called me to be. Help me, strengthen me, and guide me to do Thy will. In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

Sadly, 6-8 death threats every month from unhinged people has simply been something I have dealt with for the last 25 years. Having cut back my schedule of live events the last 5 years, I know what it is like to have to go into numerous public events for over 2 decades with armed security. This an evil world and while we are called to use the common sense God gave us, in the end it is God who ultimately decides when, where, and how our journey thru this brief life is over.

Since virtually day one, the Liveprayer internet site has been targeted by those who hate God’s Truth. By His hand and our talented tech team, Liveprayer has been a beacon of God’s Light on the internet for over 26 years despite the efforts of those who want to silence our voice. We had such an attack early Wednesday morning and some may have not received the Wednesday Daily Devotional. Here is a link to that Devotional from 9/10/25: https://www.liveprayer.com/devotional.cfm?id=56327

UPDATE: We now know this was NOT a professional hit. As I prepare this Daily Devotional Thursday afternoon, there is a good possibility that before Thursday is over we will know who the assassin was. What we learned Thursday morning was that the assassin was of college age and his snipers newt was on the roof of a building apx. 200 yards from where Kirk was speaking. Law enforcement recovered the weapon used to assassinate Charlie Kirk in the woods next to the building. They also have video tracking the assassins movements before and right after the shooting. They have palm prints, foot prints, and most likely fingerprints. A professional assassin would have never been this sloppy.

Based on this information the FBI has, it is only a matter of time before the assassin is caught. Motive? We will find out but we know there was writing on the gun and the ammunition which as in the Minneapolis church shooting told us the reason that evil monster opened fire on children at Catholic Mass. Please continue to pray for Charlie’s wife, children, and family. Here is a link to the Wednesday 9/10 Liveprayer TV program that dealt with the Kirk assassination during the first 30 minutes: https://www.facebook.com/liveprayer/videos/1950578422410794/

***September Financial Update***

Blessings! Thank you to all of those who have been praying and those able to help me during our 26th Anniversary month. By the grace of God we covered the balance of our June shortfall! AMEN!!! We have also been able to cover the first $30,000 for our July operations leaving the final $25,000 plus the $55,000 from our August ministry operations.

That is a total of $80,000 to clear up all of our shortfall as we are over a week into the month of September. 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."

INTERVIEW OF A 9/11 FDNY SURVIVOR AT GROUND ZERO IN 2010 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqyQyPezsbI

AS WE REFLECT ON THE 24th ANNIVERSARY OF THE HORRIBLE EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE ON 9/11/2001, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO PUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE UNITED STATES THAT DAY IN THE CONTEXT OF OUR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. I WAS NEVER SO THANKFUL TO GOD FOR THIS MINISTRY AS I WAS ON 9/11. WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF THE PLANES HITTING THE WORLD TRADE CENTER, WITHOUT EVEN UNDERSTANDING FULLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING, WE HAD MOBILIZED A WORLDWIDE PRAYER EFFORT INVOLVING OVER 1 MILLION PEOPLE.

WAS IT AN ACCIDENT THE OTHER PLANES THAT WERE TO BE FLOWN INTO BUILDINGS ON THAT DAY WERE GROUNDED? NO!!! IN THE FOLLOWING DAYS, OVER 2,000 THAT WE KNOW OF, ACCEPTED CHRIST AS THEIR SAVIOR. EVEN IN GREAT TRAGEDY, GOD IS WORKING! PLEASE PRAY AND READ THE WORDS GOD WROTE THROUGH ME ON THAT DAY SINCE THEY HAVE AS MUCH RELEVANCE NOW AS THEY DID ON THE DAY THAT THEY WERE ORIGINALLY WRITTEN.

THE DATE OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 IS A DATE THAT WILL FOREVER LIVE IN UNITED STATES HISTORY. IT MARKS THE DAY WHEN THE REALITY OF THE END-TIMES BECAME PART OF OUR EVERY DAY LIVES. MAY GOD BE MERCIFUL TO THIS GREAT NATION AND ITS' PEOPLE AS THESE EVENTS UNFOLD. PLEASE MAKE SURE THIS GETS POSTED ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA, IN YOUR CHURCH, AT YOUR WORK, AND YOU SEND IT TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

(Originally sent on September 13, 2001)

This has been a very sad day for me, yet at the same time very rewarding. The sadness comes from the loss yesterday of at least 20 people who subscribed to this Daily Devotional and were part of the Liveprayer family. The emails started coming in late last night. 17 were killed in the World Trade Center, 2 in the Pentagon, and one was on board the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania.

I have a great amount of compassion for their families today. We have also received emails from over a hundred people who lost friends in yesterday's events. My prayers today are with those families and friends who lost loved ones yesterday, and hope that they will look to God, our Comforter, during this difficult time in their lives.

However, I am very happy to report that as this Devotional was being written, we have received requests from over 1,000 people who have emailed us that they have prayed to ask Christ into their hearts as their personal savior, and requested our follow-up material. So I praise God for those lives that have been committed to the Lord.

I want to say a very special thanks, and send prayers out to all of the courageous police personnel, EMT's, fire and rescue workers, as well as the health care professionals involved in yesterday's horrible events. These people are all real American heroes that have given of themselves to help others who were in great need. Of course, these efforts will go on for many, many days as the aftermath of this tragedy is playing out.

Also, praise God for all of the selfless people that donated blood in New York and other places to make it possible for care to be given to those who were injured. In the worst of times, the American people will always rise up and give their best. May God's richest blessings be on each one who has been a Good Samaritan these past several days.

On this day after, I also want to pray for our military personnel worldwide. I am confident that within a short period of time, the United States military will be involved in a response to yesterday's terrorist attacks on our country. I want to lift up each and every man and woman in uniform that God will protect them and allow them to accomplish their mission, and return home to their families safe and sound.

Thousands who read this Devotional daily are on military bases and ships around the world. Please know that on behalf of the Liveprayer family, you will be covered in prayer as you go forth in service to your nation. May God bless you for your courage and bravery.

As the reality of what happened yesterday starts to sink in, I want to reemphasize the point I shared with you yesterday. This is a golden opportunity for God's children to share His hope and love with a nation and world that for the most part is fearful of what tomorrow may bring and looking for answers. This is our chance to share with them that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life.

It is ONLY in a personal relationship with Jesus, that we can even hope to understand or make sense of what happened on September 11th, 2001. The reality that one day this world as we know it will no longer exist, the reality that life can end most unexpectedly, the fear of what that means to each person, gives us an incredible opportunity to lead them to the throne of grace and share with them God's gift of everlasting life.

I love you and care about you so much. You mean so much to me. Today of all days, I don't say those words lightly. Over the past 3 years, I have lost some very dear people who have been part of Liveprayer. Today has been difficult as I have learned of many in this special group of friends who have gone on to their reward. Heaven is richer for our loss. Their work here is over. But for me, and for you, God still has work for us to do.

While we take time to pray for those I have listed above, let us also pray and ask God for the courage and resolve to stand up and proudly carry the banner of Christ to this nation. The time has never been more ripe for Christians to boldly proclaim the cause of Christ. Let the tragedy of yesterday, be the spark that leads this great nation into revival. Never forget, revival happens one heart at a time. Today is the day, now is the time, and we are the ones that God has called for such a time as this!!!

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

Bill Keller
