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

I need your help today! As we are winding down the final 9 days of March, we are still trying to cover the final $45,000 of our February ministry operations. I am praying that thru the weekend and by the end of Monday we can cover $20,000 of that February shortfall that is a critical need. Please, take some time and pray for the Lord to move on the hearts of those who have the ability to help me at this time to be obedient, and if you are able, seek whatever amount the Lord is putting on your heart at this time. I deeply appreciate it as we press on towards the prize each day! God bless you!

*As people are already starting to receive their tax refunds, many receiving much more than expected due to the Trump tax cuts, please be praying about sending a tithe to God’s work here at Liveprayer to me save souls off of that tax refund! Amen!

***Prayer***

Dear Lord, I know I have only one life, one life to live for You. This is my moment in human history. Please Lord, let me make the most if it. Use my life to do great things for You as I surrender it afresh to You each morning. When I take my last breath, let there be no regrets, no sadness, that I didn't use my life fully for Your Glory! In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

Revered Bible teacher J. Vernon McGee said, "When you read the newspaper, open your Bible."

Take a step back for a moment and think with me how insane the whole trans issue is. God is our creator. He is the giver of life. So God creates a little boy or a little girl. To try and change that little boy or little girl into the opposite sex requires the following. First is a complete dismissal of God's creation. Next is an incredible amount of money spent on meds, surgeries, and doctors for both the physical changes and for the mental issues that must be dealt with. Along the way is the physical pain and healing from the surgeries. Lastly and probably worst is the mental damage done that is virtually irreparable. ALL OF THIS MONEY, PAIN, AND MENTAL DAMAGE IS ON PURPOSE AND COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE! It is all the byproduct of trying to change God's creation, basically saying God made a mistake. GOD MAKES NO MISTAKES AND COUNTLESS LIVES ARE DAMAGED AND DESTROYED BY THOSE WHO CLAIM HE DOES!!!

*Liveprayer TV Program airs “LIVE” every Monday thru Friday from 11pm EDT to Midnight! For details on viewing options for the Liveprayer TV program, “LIVE” or “On Demand,” go to: https://liveprayer.com/liveprayer-show-about.cfm

***March Financial Update***

Praise the Lord! Thanks to the prayers and sacrifices of many in the Liveprayer family, we have covered the balance of our January shortfall. Amen! That means we can begin to work on the $55,000 we required during February and the $55,000 we will require during March. So far we have covered the first $10,000 of our February shortfall leaving the final $45,000. That is $100,000 to end March with all of our finances 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 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!

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

The altar has always been a special place. It was where man went to meet God. In the Old Testament, it was on the altar that man sacrificed animals to God for his sins. Since Jesus came and was the perfect one-time sacrifice for the sins of all mankind, the altar is now a place where man comes to spend time in prayer to God. Of course, you don't have to go to an altar to pray but there is something special about having a place to go and talk to God.

I remember as a young boy in the little Methodist church my family attended, the altar was a special place. It was a reverent place. It was a place where people went and got down on their knees and prayed to God about the needs in their life. It was a place where people would spend hours on their face in prayer. People came to that altar to accept Christ as their Savior. People stood at that altar and got married. People came to that altar to view the body of a loved one that had gone to be with the Lord. It was a holy place.

I will never forget on Palm Sunday in 1992, I was preaching at St. Mark's United Methodist in Pensacola, Florida. It was a beautiful old church in a very nice part of town. As I was preaching, I got off my message and began to talk about the altar. I remember talking about how the altar was a place for prayer NOT flowers. As soon as I said those words, I remembered that I was in a very elegant and beautiful United Methodist Church on Palm Sunday. Without even looking, I already knew that the altar was lined with tons of flowers, and it was.

Realizing that I was now in trouble, I walked off the platform and down to the altar and stood in the midst of the beautiful flowers and started to talk about the little Methodist Church I grew up in and how the altar was a place of prayer, a place to come and travail before God. I remember saying that one of the problems in the church today was that people have forgotten what the altar was there for and some people had never even knelt and prayed at the altar in their life.

In talking, I made a sweeping gesture with my hand to move some of the flowers to the side to clear out an area at the altar. However, being fully in the Spirit and "in the moment," my hand was moving much too quickly and I knocked over one planter, which knocked over the one next to it, and soon, like dominoes, about 10 of the beautiful plants had fallen down and there were flowers and dirt all over the altar. As you can imagine, the congregation of this very staid and majestic church was in complete silence and shock. I am sure the pastor was wondering why he ever invited me to preach. The place was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

At this point, I figured I was in so deep, there was no turning back. So, I looked at the people and told them that I was done preaching. I told them that there was not one person in that congregation who didn't have a need in their life and I wanted them to come down to the altar and pray and I would be there to pray with them. Well, I am quite sure coming to the altar and praying was NOT something the people in this church did very often, if ever. As I stood there for what seemed like an eternity, not one person was moving from their seat, and I remember telling God to do something. He did.

All of a sudden, coming down the aisle I saw a little old woman. My fear was she was the head of the flower committee and was coming up to scold me. However, she slowly made her way down to the altar, stood in front of me, and took my hand. She looked up and said, “Brother Keller, I remember when we used to come to this altar and pray for hours.” She let go of my hand, moved to the side, got on her knees, and began to pray. Within moments, several more people began to move to the altar and soon the entire church had left their seats, to come and pray at that altar.

I share that story with you today for two reasons. First, start taking advantage of the altar in your church. It is NOT just there for decoration or a place to put the pretty flowers. IT IS A HOLY PLACE. IT IS A PLACE OF PRAYER. Second, you should have an altar in your home. You need a special place in your home that is set aside from all of the day- to-day activities. A quiet place where you can go to be alone with the Lord. A place where you can read His Word or just spend that quality time alone with Him. There is NOTHING more powerful than you and your family taking time every day to gather around the family altar and hear God's Word and pray together!

I love you and care about you so much. I pray that you will never look at the altar in your church the same way again. I pray that you will make time to spend time with God at that altar. In the Old Testament, the altar was a place of sacrifice. It is still a place of sacrifice. It is the place where we come to give ourselves as a living sacrifice to God, committing our lives to Him. I also pray that if you do not have an altar in your home, you will pray about making one. What a great legacy for your children to grow up in a home with such a holy place to reinforce that you and your house serve the Lord!

May the altar, a place of sacrifice, always be a reminder of the sacrifice that Christ made when he died for our sins. May the altar, a place of prayer, always be a reminder that we are totally dependent on God.

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Bill Keller
