***Prayer***

Father, I pray, today for each person who is reading these words. You know exactly where they are at today financially. I pray that whatever they have today is multiplied many times over in the coming weeks and months. Bless them in the area of their finances, Father, so that they may not only care for their day-to-day needs of those they are responsible for, but so that they may feed the poor around the world, those who are materially poor as well as those who are spiritually poor. I pray, today, a prayer of BLESSING on the finances of the person reading these words. Whatever we have in this life comes from You and is Yours Father. May we be faithful in managing what You have given to us. Multiply many times over what You have currently given to the person reading this word today and allow them to be a great blessing to the work of God throughout the world. I pray BLESSINGS over the finances of the person reading these words today for the glory of Almighty God. In the name of Jesus. Amen!!!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

A mentally ill man who thinks he is a woman in the Atlanta area has been arrested on charges of sexual battery of a child under 16, aggravated child molestation, and sodomy. I have made the case throughout the last several years that less than 1% of society suffers from the mental illness called Gender Dysphoria, or not knowing what gender God created them as.

I have also been alerting the Liveprayer TV and Daily Devotional family that a large percentage of those who suffer from this mental illness tend to be extremely violent. While there are no current recognized studies available, it is reasonable to believe that many who identify as trans have been in some form of mental health treatment in their life that almost guarantees they were on very powerful drugs. Whatever drugs they take to try and change their gender are also very powerful and it makes sense that a cocktail of these drugs cause the extreme violent acts we are witnessing.

IT IS ALSO A FACT THAT A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THOSE WHO IDENTIFY AS TRANS ARE SEXUAL DEVIANTS THAT INCLUDES THE MOLESTATION AND RAPE OF CHILDREN!!!

NAMBLA, the North American Man/Boy Love Association began operation in New York City in 1978, 48 years ago! This is an activist organization that seeks to decriminalize and make socially acceptable sex between adult men and boys. Their stated goal is to campaign for the elimination of age-of-consent laws.

There is a new non-profit group out of Princeton, New Jersey called HiTops, Health Interested Teens Own Program on Sexuality. This advocacy organization provides inclusive sex education and support for LGBTQ+ youth. The bottom line is HiTOPS is another organization that is grooming children sexually and working to break down societal norms regarding adults having sex with children.

THEIR OFFCIAL MATERIALS STATE THAT THE CRITICAL TIME TO REACH CHILDREN IS IN GRADES 5-8 TO CATCH THEM WHEN THEY ARE STARTING PUBERTY!

For a decade now I have been sounding the trump of warning that there is a very well financed, well organized, and active movement to make sex between adults and children LEGAL! This would ultimately lead to adults marrying children as happens in some other cultures around the world.

For 15 years I began warning people in the year 2000 that men marrying men and women marrying women would soon become legal. People laughed it off until in the year of 2015 when the Supreme Court made same-sex marriage the law of the land!

Only a few years ago if sexual deviant men who dressed up as women known as drag queens interacted with young children they would have been put in jail! Did you ever wonder why drag queens engaging with young children is now acceptable in most places around the country? The big emphasis on the trans issue involves children and their sexual identity. Too many elementary and junior high school teachers are now more sexual groomers of children than educators. DID YOU EVER WONDER WHY ALL OF THIS IS HAPPENING?

Just like the pro-homosexual lobby in the United States spent decades breaking down societal barriers to make this sexual perversion culturally and socially acceptable, even “special,” this same effort has been under way for many years now to make adult/child sex and even adult/child marriage socially and culturally acceptable.

Advocates for adult/child sex use some of the same arguments the homosexual lobby used. A person can’t help who they love. Who are you to tell me who I can love? They will cite crime statistics of the huge numbers of those arrested for possessing child porn, those arrested for raping and sexually assaulting children, as proof sex between adults and children is actually mainstream and normal. They will also point to other cultures that allow sex and marriage between adults and children to strengthen their case.

Virtually 100% of the media is silent about this effort to legalize adult/child sex and marriage. I will almost guarantee you that you have not heard your pastor or any pastor publicly warning about this coming perversion in our country. I don’t know what other sins Sodom and Gomorrah were guilty of other than the sin of homosexuality, but I do know that if God spared not His wrath and fury on Sodom and Gomorrah we are fools to think he will spare His wrath and fury on our nation!!!

MY FRIEND, THE SAME PEOPLE WHO LAUGHED AT ME FOR 15 YEARS THAT SAME SEX MARRIAGE WOULD NEVER BE LEGALIZED, ARE THE SAME PEOPLE IGNORING MY WARNING ABOUT THE LEGALIZATION OF ADULTS HAVING SEX AND EVEN GETTING MARRIED TO CHILDREN! IT IS NOT A MATTER OF IF, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF WHEN!!!

***I have issued TWO major warnings in June for people to wake up before God unleashes His wrath and punishment on our land for our sins and wickedness. The first was on the Liveprayer TV program Tuesday June 2nd. The warning starts at the 11:40 mark of the program and goes on for 20 minutes. Here is the link to that program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVuURi7A4Uk&t=722s The second was on the Liveprayaer TV program Wednesday June 24th. The warning starts at the 9:40 mark of the program and goes on for 20 minutes. Here is the link to that program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMs1gyuIMto&t=590s

***August Financial Update***

Thank you to those who were able to help me with a gift during July! Over July we finally covered the balance of our May operations and received the first $5,000 of our June ministry operations. We ended July requiring the final $50,000 from June and the $55,000 for July’s operations. I am praying in the first weeks of August we can cover that $105,000 shortfall so we can begin working on the $55,000 we will require during our anniversary month of August.

Traditionally each year we struggle during the summer months of June, July, and August, so I can really use your help especially in this first week of August with that $105,000 getting seriously past due! OUR GOD IS ABLE!!!

*27TH ANNIVERSARY MONTH! As we head into August, our 27th anniversary month, please pray about helping me with a special one-time gift of $27, $1 for every year, or $270, $10 for every year, or $2,700, $100 for every year, or $27,000, $1,000 for every year.

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."

*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

As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” Luke 21:1-4

What is the real significance of the offering the widow made at the Temple? As most people were making their offering from the abundance that they had been blessed with, here came a widow with no wealth, with no possessions, who was just getting by day to day.

Yet, Jesus took the time to point out that her offering was greater than the others because she was giving out of her need. How could that be? You see my friend, it was not the greatest offering in the amount that she gave, but it was the greatest offering because of her need and the heart that she gave it with.

The point of this passage today is that the widow gave because she not only had faith that God would meet her daily needs, but just as important, she gave out of obedience and an understanding of how God works. You don't "give to get." You give as an act of obedience. You give as a form of worship.

You give to bless others, and because you give with a pure heart, God in turn blesses you. Never forget that His blessings come in many forms. Not just in money, but in things like health, safety, daily provision, and many blessings that we simply take for granted.

What I want you to take from this word today is that the amount that you give is not important. It is being obedient to give what God tells you to give! It is the heart and motivations that you give it with. When you give sacrificially, you are saying to God that you trust Him to provide for your needs as He has promised to, and that you are more concerned for others than yourself.

Nothing touches the heart of God more than giving of yourself to others, much as He gave His own Son for the sins of this world. God understands sacrificial giving!!!

I am overwhelmed and amazed how God takes so little to do so much. The overall basic ministry budget each month for Liveprayer is only $55,000. For just over $1,800 a day, we are able to freely provide all the ministry we do to millions of people worldwide every 24 hours.

The Bible is very clear that it is God's people who are to support God's work, and, they are to do so as they are led by God. I have always used the biblical example of Moses when he raised the funds to build the Tabernacle, David when he raised the funds to build the Temple Solomon finished, and Paul when he raised money for his missionary journeys.

Share the need with the people and simply ask each one to pray and give as God leads them to give!!!

I love you and care about you so much. Every day I get so many emails from people on the subject of giving. How much to give. Who to give it to. Never forget this. ALL, 100% of what we have belongs to God and is simply on loan to us. So whatever you give, you are simply giving back a portion of what He has entrusted to you for this season. That is why you can't out-give God, IT IS HIS ALREADY!!!

My counsel is to get alone with the Lord, pray, and let Him give you direction on how much to give and who to give it to, then be faithful to do it and do it cheerfully. HE WILL BLESS YOU FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS, AND HE WILL BLESS YOU FOR YOUR OBEDIENCE!!!

Thank you for standing with me in this work. I will praying for you and for the Lord’s blessings on your finances. Never let giving be something that you dread doing. Don't ever let anyone force you to give what you don't want to. WHAT YOU GIVE IS NOBODY'S BUSINESS! IT IS BETWEEN YOU AND GOD!!!

Just like the widow that day at the temple, give as God leads you to give, give the amount He tells you to give, and give it cheerfully. Giving is an act of worship. When we give out of our need as that widow, GOD WILL BLESS YOU AND HONOR YOU FOR THAT!!!

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Bill Keller
