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

God can’t lie, so you can trust His Word to be the Truth!

***Daily Personal Prayer For You***

Dear Lord, today I give You my burdens, my trials and tribulations. Instead of wasting precious time worrying about the trials of life, this day, show me how to serve You. Use my life today for Your Kingdom and be glorified through my service. Thank You for loving me enough to taking my burdens and my faith is in You today to work all things together for my good. No matter what life brings my way, I will always praise You!!! In the name of Jesus...AMEN!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

Let me say up front, over the decades I have often told you how I felt a situation would turn out and in many cases I was praying to be wrong. Sadly I rarely have been. Ever since I heard that the 84 year old mother of NBC Today Show host Savannah Guthrie and the initial reports by police that indicated her home was a crime scene, I have been praying that she would be found alive and in good shape. Until we get a definitive report on what happened to her, we will continue to pray she is returned home alive and in good shape.

Again, praying that I am wrong, let me share with you what I believe we will learn in the next day or so. Authorities are now confirming they believe she was removed from her home and that there was some blood found in the home. These are the most recent developments that we learned AFTER I shared my belief on what happened Monday night on the TV program.

I believe that Guthrie’s mother was the victim of a targeted home invasion. I believe the motive was simply to steal what they could. When it was learned she was not in the home and was missing, I immediately thought that she might have put up some kind of a fight and was killed in the process. The body was taken from the home and disposed of to give the killers more time to get away. Lastly I believe it will be learned that her killers were illegals and with the Mexican border about an hour away, that is where they will ultimately find the killers of Savannah Guthrie’s mother in the next few months if not sooner.

I may be 100% wrong and will appropriately apologize if I am as I always do. Sadly, with each passing hour the hope of finding her alive becomes less of a possibility. I am aware that some believe she was kidnapped and is being held for ransom. Obviously a possibility but not likely since there is too much involved. If they killed her in her home they had a choice to just leave the body, or take the body and bury it in a shallow grave or somewhere in the desert. There is lots of open country where she lived and by disposing of her body the killers most likely wouldn’t be identified for several days, even a week or longer, giving them time to hide, most likely in Mexico.

If I am correct, we will of course be praying for the Guthrie family in their time of loss. When Savannah is back on the air I will be very interested in seeing how she deals with the ICE/illegal issue. Singing off the NBC song sheet, Guthrie has been where all of the corporate/globalist media entities are on the issue of ICE and illegals. ICE are Nazi Stormtroopers and illegals are just poor people coming to America for a better life. Like the rest of the corporate media Guthrie has never uttered the names of Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, 12 year old Jocelyn Nungary, or ANY of the tens of thousands and counting innocent American men, women and children, who have been robbed, raped, fed lethal drugs, and murdered by illegals!

If I am sadly correct about the fate of Guthrie’s dear mother, it will be interesting if she continues to defend, cover for, and protect these 20 million invaders from all over the world who came here without any true vetting of who they were and why they were here. If in fact it turns out her mother was just another innocent casualty of the Obama/Biden/Mayorkas open borders policy, it will be interesting to see if Savannah is going to keep demonizing our brave heroes in ICE and the Border Patrol while defending the hordes of invaders who continue every single day to bring unbelievable endless pain and heartache to families all across the nation who have lost a loved one at the hands of an illegal!

Just as interesting will be the rest of those NBC hosts, those at their recently disowned cousins at MS Now (formerly MSNBC), and the rest of the corporate/globalist media hosts at the other networks. My guess is they will be sympathetic to Guthrie and her family initially, but will NOT relinquish their daily pounding of the heroes at ICE and in our government. They will simply forget Guthrie’s mother even exists just like they do the rest of the innocent US citizens who have had their lives destroyed or ended at the hands of these illegals the Democrats need to simply exist.

The fact is the Democrats can’t win elections without FRAUD, FOREIGNERS, AND CHEATING! If some innocent American, male or female, child or adult, or even an 84 year old mother is killed by an illegal that is the price of power. Pray that Nancy Guthrie is found safe. She is a faithful member of a local Presbyterian church, and above all I pray that she made a commitment of her life at some point to Jesus so that even if the worst is true, she is forever with Him!

***February Financial Update***

After covering the balance of our 2025 shortfall, we were able to take care of the first $10,000 of our January operations leaving the final $45,000 to end January with all of our ministry operations current. I am praying we can clear that balance up in the first week of February so we can begin working on the $55,000 we require for our February ministry operations. PRAISE THE LORD!

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

By the way I have been seeking the Lord since the start of this year for God to lead someone He has blessed richly to make a legacy gift of $15,000,000 to Liveprayer. That would insure that when God decides to call me home Liveprayer will continue to impact lives and lead lost souls to faith in Jesus for a minimum of 20 years. Please stand in agreement with me for the Lord to raise up that person!

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 have preached a message over the years called, "The Right Question." It is a message you need today because everyone comes to that place in life when they ask, "Why God?" I can't tell you how many times over the last 33 years of ministry I've been with people at a funeral, in a hospital room, in a counseling session, and inevitably the same question always gets asked, "Why, why is God allowing this to happen?" "Why is this happening?" "Why doesn't God care?" "Why doesn't God stop this?" "Why doesn't God step in and change this?" "Why, why, why God?"

First of all, that is a natural question. Don't feel bad. As a matter of fact, if you haven't asked that question you're not normal. We all come to that place from time to time, especially in the midst of serious trials in our life when we look up at God and we just say, "Why God? "Where are you?" "Why aren't you helping me?" "Why God?" Today, I want to help you to ask the proper question. "Why God" is the natural question, however, the proper question is, "What, God?"

Living in this sin-filled world that we do, a world full of men living in utter rebellion to God and His Word, there is incredible evil all around us. Because of that sin and evil, there is always going to be bad things happening. That is simply part of this human experience. Just hours before going to the cross, Jesus took His disciples to the side and said, "in this life, you are going to have trials and tribulations."

Jesus didn't want His disciples to think that just because they had walked with Him, that their life was going to be a bed of roses. Anybody who thinks that when you get saved you automatically receive a free pass from the trials and tribulations from life is sadly mistaken. You see, trials and tribulations are part of living in this sin-filled and evil world that we do. Just like death is part of this life, the trials and tribulations we all face during our life are also part of this human experience.

Now, you can go through the trials and tribulations of life, face those difficult circumstances we all have along our journey and whine and moan and complain and ask "Why God," or you can ask the proper question which is, "What, God?" What God, what can I learn from this situation? God what lesson can I take from this experience? Most importantly, "God, what can I do to serve You through this?"

You read in the Book of Acts about some of the experiences Paul went through. Repeatedly tossed into prison for his faith, chased out of towns, people trying to kill him, but you never read about Paul asking God why. Instead he asked, "What God can I do to glorify You through all that I am going through?" You see my friend, that has got to be your response to the trials and tribulations that you face in this life. Instead of wasting your time and energy moaning and complaining and asking God why, figure out what you can do in the midst of your trials and tribulations to serve Him and bring glory to His name.

You see, our purpose in this life is to serve and glorify God. That's our purpose. That purpose doesn't change just because we're going through a difficult time. I'll never forget in the early days of Liveprayer when we were facing what seemed to be insurmountable pressures and problems and issues every day. One day I really need to sit down and write a book about the first year of Liveprayer and the miracle it was that we survived, as a testimony of God's faithfulness. I'd sit here and break down if I started to tell you half of the things that we went through in those early days. But instead of sitting there and complaining and asking God "why" every day, I finally came to a place where I said, "God what can I do to serve and glorify you this day?"

Many of the things you are asking "Why, God," are out of your control. In most cases, you can't control the fact that you've got cancer in your body, got laid off from your job, your husband or wife left you, or your son or your daughter is living their lives in rebellion to God. So many of the things that we face in our life are things that we have no control over in the first place. It's at those times that your faith has got to become real and you have to put your complete faith and trust in God. When you do that, you are no longer sitting there asking, "Why, God, why is this happening to me?" Instead, you are asking, "What, God, what can I do for you?"

I love you and care about you so much. Do you want to start living in freedom? Do you want to start living with that joy in your heart? Do you want to start living with that peace the Bible says passes all human understanding? Oh, my friend, when you are not asking why anymore, but instead are asking what, there is a peace, there is a joy, there is a freedom you can't even put into words. It is indescribable. You see, Jesus, after He told His disciples that there would be trials and tribulations quickly added, "but be of good cheer because I have overcome this world!"

My friend, God knows what your problems are today. Give them to Him since I guarantee you He can handle them better than you can. What that does is free you up to not waste your time and energy asking why, but spend it serving the Lord. You need to ask, "What, God, what can I do for you today, what can I do to serve you today?" I know many of you are hurting and going through difficult times right now. My admonition to you, my counsel to you, my encouragement for you is to change your question. Change your question from, "Why, God" to "What, God."

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

Bill Keller
