DAILY DEVOTIONAL THURSDAY MAY 28, 2026

(John 12:43)

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

When you wake up each morning, pray before you leave the bed! Make prayer the very first thing you do each day.

*As we head into the final days of May, we are working on the final $40,000 to end the month with all of our ministry operations current. Please pray about what you can do to help me by this Friday the 29th. God is able!!!

***Prayer***

Dear Lord, please watch over me today and keep me from all harm. I look to You for protection from the evil in this world. Father, You know my challenges today. I give them to You. Let me be about Your business today, as I know You will be about mine. In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

Say a prayer for former Florida AG and US AG Pam Bondi as she battles with thyroid cancer. Pray for God’s healing touch on her body!

For 4 years the corporate media refused to address what anyone with a working brain knew was a mentally and physically challenged human being, former illegitimate President Joe Biden. However, turn on any of the corporate media channels and you will find some mental health professional or doctor who have never personally examined President Trump opining about his failing mental and physical health.

As President Trump approaches his 80th birthday in a few weeks, there is only a small percentage of people at his age with the physical stamina and mental acuity to perform the office of President. Please be praying for the Lord to continue to bless him with a clear mind and physical strength each day as he leads our nation. AMEN!

***May Financial Update***

As we head into the final days of May, so far we have covered the first $15,000 of our May operations, leaving the final $40,000 to end the month with all of our ministry operations 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!

*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!

Each year there are dozens of award shows. The music industry has their Grammy, the movie industry the Oscar, in sports there is the ESPY, there are the catchall awards like the Golden Globe and People's Choice, even the Christian music world has their Dove Award. It is always special when people single out your work and give you praise.

The Bible even encourages us to "give honor to whom honor is due." However, the point of today's Devotional is very simple. Do we live our lives for the praise of man or the praise of God? Let me assure you that it is easier to get the praise of God than of man, and it is praise that is not temporary but eternal!!!

You see, trying to please man is an impossible task, because what is expected and required of us changes so often. You can try your entire life to please man, but you will be most sad and frustrated because it is not possible. The wonderful thing about God is that he has told us in His word what He expects; thus we know without a doubt what is required of us.

The other problem with the praise of man is that it is so temporary. How many people in the entertainment, athletic, any industry you may be part of are "hot" for a period of time, then are all but forgotten. The praise of man is fleeting, temporal. The praise of God is everlasting.

I realize that many of you struggle with this issue, trying to get the praise of someone in your life, whether it be in school, professionally, or in some sort of relationship. I am not saying not to try to please others, or do a good job. What I am saying is that your first priority is to please God. So many email me how distraught they are because they just can't seem to make this person or that person happy.

Continue to try, but always remember that your goal should not be to receive the praise of a man, but the praise of God!!!

I realized a very long time ago that I could not make everyone happy. No matter how hard I tried, it just wasn't possible. I still do my best each day, but in that effort, I never forget that ultimately it is God that I have to please!!!

Even though everyone else may not like what I do, as long as I am doing what God wants, and He is pleased, then I have succeeded. We see the human cry of the prophets in the Old Testament. Complaining how nobody would listen to them. Nobody was willing to heed their warnings. How frustrated they were. I can guarantee you this. None of those guys were ever going to receive any awards from their city, but they were receiving far greater rewards from God because of their faithfulness.

In the Book of Acts, Stephen's reward for preaching the Gospel was death by stoning. Even though those around him were so upset they literally stoned him to death, Jesus rose from His throne and stood to welcome Stephen into heaven because of his faithfulness!!!

I love you and care about you so much. I pray today that you will never forget that it is God who we must ultimately please each and every day. I don't know about you, but like most, I enjoy the praise of man. However, I do not live for that. I live my life for the praise of God and to one day hear those words, "Well done thou good and faithful servant."

***PLEASE PRAY ABOUT SOWING A SPECIAL GIFT TO LIVEPRAYER TODAY. MANY HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY GOD'S WORK HERE, BUT HAVE NEVER GIVEN TO HELP US. ACTUALLY, LESS THAN 1/4 OF 1% OF THOSE WE REACH EVERY GIVE A DIME TO SUPPORT GOD'S WORK HERE. ALL WE HAVE DONE OVER THESE 27 YRS, IMPACTING LITERALLY TENS OF MILLIONS OF LIVES WORLDWIDE, HAS ONLY BEEN POSSIBLE BECAUSE FRIENDS LIKE YOU PRAYED AND MADE THE SACRIFICE TO HELP US BE HERE EACH DAY FOR THE HURTING AND LOST.

MOST EVERYONE CAN SEND SOMETHING. THE BIBLE TEACHES TO GIVE ACCORDING TO YOUR ABILITY TO GIVE. LET ME CHALLENGE YOU TO GIVE A GIFT OF $10, $50, $100, OR FOR SOME $1,000 OR MORE. IT IS NOT THE AMOUNT GOD CARES ABOUT, BUT YOUR HEART. GOD WILL MULTIPLY YOUR GIFT EXPONENTIALLY IN THE LIVES AND SOULS OF THOSE WE REACH WITH HIS TRUTH AND THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE, YOUR PRAYERS, AND YOUR SACRIFICE. THESE 127 YEARS HAVE ONLY BEEN POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF YOU, AND I THANK GOD FOR YOU EACH DAY. KNOW YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE IN MY PRAYERS. WE PRESS ON TOWARDS THE PRIZE!

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Bill Keller
