***Personal Message For You From Bill Keller***
Fear not my friend, God will always have the last word in all circumstances. Trust Him!
*We ended July requiring the final $40,000 from June and the $55,000 for July’s operations. So far we have covered $10,000 of that $40,000 from June leaving the final $30,000. I am praying for one of our friends who God has blessed to help me with a special ONE TIME gift of $30,000 to cover the balance of June’s operation so we can begin working on the $55,000 required during July. That is $85,000 to clear up our shortfalls as we started our anniversary month of August!
*27TH ANNIVERSARY MONTH! As we head into August, our 27h 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 Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***
The shameless, lying, incestuous, crackhead, reprobate, sex trafficker, deadbeat dad, and bagman for his father Hunter Biden has been going on friendly media platforms the last month acting like he is a victim of President Trump and those who opposed his father politically. He even lies while claiming his laptop that the FBI authenticated was planted by Russia. You can make the case Hunter Biden is one of the most disgusting, loathsome individuals ever on the public stage.
I believe Hunter is looking to get into politics or the media. He has never had a real job that lasted over any period of time, so my guess is whatever he ends up doing won’t last very long. Hunter currently owes at least $30 million dollars to creditors, and without his father’s public office to sell I can’t see him making any sort of money that will help his financial woes.
One of the purposes he is slipping back into the public eye is to illicit sympathy for his father. He claims that Biden’s prostate cancer has metastasized throughout his body and he is in much pain every day. Anyone with eyes and ears knew months BEFORE the 2020 election was stolen that put Biden in the White House, he was physically and mentally shot.
However, Biden, his administration, his co-conspirators in the media, AND HIS DOCTORS, ALL LIED to the public for over 4 years that Biden was mentally and physically capable of being President. We know now that was all one big fat LIE! To be this advanced, he had to have had that cancer in his body long before he was President. He was not only illegitimately installed as the 46th President of the United States, he was both mentally and physically unfit to serve!
It would be fair if God allowed Biden to live another 100 years, suffering each day just a fraction of the pain he has caused tens of millions of people throughout his 50 years of holding public office. I BELIEVE HISTORY WILL LOOK AT BIDEN AS THE GREATEST TRAITOR TO THIS COUNTRY EVER, BY FAR SURPASSING BENEDICT ARNOLD WHO AT ONE TIME WAS A LEGITIMATE WAR HERO!
When “songbird” John McCain died, President Trump magnanimously allowed him to receive full national honors. McCain lied to President Trump’s face 15 minutes before he went to the Senate floor and put his thumb down blocking the overturning over Obamacare. McCain’s office was involved in pushing the garbage “Steele Dossier” that Trump was a Russian agent into the public ether knowing it was all lies. President Trump had the full authority to deny McCain national honors upon his death but didn’t!
With the reality that Biden could die at any time, probably sooner than later, the question has to be asked how does the nation deal with his death. More important, how does President Trump deal with his death? I believe there is under NO circumstance Biden should be given full national honors when he dies, though that decision will be solely up to President Trump.
Biden was a corrupt Senator and VP. He was an illegitimate President who allowed himself to be used by Obama and globalist powers to try and destroy the nation in every way possible! JOSEPH ROBINETTE BIDEN, JUNIOR DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE HONORED UPON HIS DEATH! He and his family should be shunned for the rest of their lives!
President Nixon was laid to rest in the back yard of his family home in California. Because the FBI/CIA couldn’t assassinate him since the Kennedy assassination was just a decade prior, they used the CIA along with dirty prosecutors and judges to take down Nixon because of his intense hatred for both agencies. Nixon did not want to go back to DC upon his death and the ceremonies after he died took place in California.
Biden spent over 50% of his illegitimate Presidency in Delaware since it helped him with his dementia. His family can pay for whatever ceremonies they want in Delaware, bury him in the backyard of one of his homes, and forget any national honors normally reserved for real statesmen upon their death. Harsh? Yep. So was his 50 years of corruption and the damage he did to the United States of America!

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***
We ended July requiring the final $40,000 from June and the $55,000 for July’s operations. So far we have covered $10,000 of that $40,000 from June leaving the final $30,000. I am praying for one of our friends who God has blessed to help me with a special ONE TIME gift of $30,000 to cover the balance of June’s operation so we can begin working on the $55,000 required during July. That is $85,000 to clear up our shortfalls as we started 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 weeks of August with that $30,000 seriously past due and the $55,000 from July’s ministry operations! 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!

I have no doubt that this will be one of the more unpopular Devotionals I have ever written, but it is a message that is long overdue. I am always amused at the feminists and liberal theologians that state the Bible is anti-woman and that Paul was a male chauvinist. Nobody that understands God's Word would make such a foolish claim since nothing could be further from the truth.
The Bible is very much PRO woman and clearly teaches that God made men and women 100% equal with separate roles to play. Paul, in teaching equality between men and women, was a pioneer for women's rights in a day when women were viewed as little more than property. One of the roles God has called men to play is that of a leader, a role many men have failed to live up to.
Out of the rebellion in the 60's came the women's movement. Satan is a liar, and the lie he told to women was that they needed to be equal with men. But if you read and study God's Word, the TRUTH, you realize that according to God a woman is already equal to a man. Men and women are 100% equal, they simply have different roles to play. Sadly, women bought this lie and for what little strides there may have been in regard to women getting a few more dollars for their work, the long term consequences have been disastrous for women, men, children, and to society as a whole.
Two generations later the results are men and women living totally outside of the roles God intended for them to have, neither really being sure any longer what those roles even are. Let me be so bold to say that we now have the largest percentage of 2 generations of men who are spineless, gutless, confused, and lost. They fail to lead in their marriage. They fail to lead in their homes. They fail to lead in their careers. They are not the leaders God has called them to be, simply followers. Worst of all, they are not the priests of their homes, having failed in this most important role God has called them to play.
To fill the void left by men failing to perform their God-ordained roles, women have had to take on roles God never intended them to have. One of those roles is a woman working outside of the home to provide for the family. The lie of the world is that women have to go out and work. The sad reality in the year 2022 is that many men expect their wives to work and earn a certain amount of money. Let me break this down for you men, YOU, NOT YOUR WIFE, ARE SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT YOUR FAMILY!
This is not demeaning women or their abilities in any way. It is not a matter of if a woman can do the same job as a man, but the fact God never intended for them to do the same job as a man! God gave a woman the most important job of all and that is raising your children in the admonition of the Lord. No matter what else you may do in your life, that is the number one job and ministry a woman will ever have!!!
Listen, I am well aware of the argument that both spouses have to work. The reality is, economics have not changed since the days not that long ago when most women did not work. It is our desires for the things of this world that have changed. God's plan is for men to work and support their family and women to raise the children with the help and support of their husbands.
If you don't have children, there is nothing wrong with working, but the husband is still supposed to be the primary source of support in the home. Obviously, single moms, single women, those whose husbands are unable to work, are in special situations where you have no other choice but to work. Know that God will give you the favor, strength, and ability to provide for your family.
Women, let me give you a quick word of counsel. This is why I share so often that marriage is not something to enter into lightly. Please don't rush into marriage! It is a lifetime commitment. Heed God's warning about being unequally yoked. Take the time to build a spiritual foundation together. Make sure that the man you are praying about spending the rest of your life with, is a man of God who is following God's Word and willing to perform the roles God has called him to play. Like I say so often, our way doesn't work and only brings consequences, God's way works and brings blessings.
Also, QUIT LIVING WITH THESE GUYS! I don't care if he is the father of your children! You can't expect God to bless sin! Let me ask you a question. Why should a man make the lifetime commitment to marry you, when you are already living together? If you have sinned and have had sex outside of marriage and have a child or children, that is still no excuse to compound your sin by living together outside of the bonds of marriage. Remember this, a man following the Lord, living for the Lord, is NOT going to lead you into sin by living with you. A man who does is NOT a man you want to commit the rest of your life to!
***NOTE TO THE MEN: Two issues I want to address. One is men who beat women, the other is men being responsible for the children they father. There is NO EXCUSE for a man to EVER hit a woman. I don't care if she is hitting you, run away! It is the ultimate act of cowardice for a man to strike a woman, and any man who does that needs professional and spiritual help. Also, if you were man enough to father a child, be man enough to be responsible for your child. That means financially, emotionally, and spiritually. I am well aware of the various legal issues that may prevent some men from being as involved in their children's lives as they should be or want to be. However, what I am referring to is men who have children, in and out of marriage, and then move on in their life acting like their children don't exist. God is going to hold you accountable for the children you fathered!
The encouraging thing is every day I get prayer requests from husbands and wives that are restructuring their lives and finances so that the wife can stay at home with the children. There has been a big move in this direction the past few years as women are going back to their natural, God-given roles of being a mother and wife above everything else. This is also forcing men to perform their God-given role as the provider for their family. For you parents out there praying about doing this, let me encourage you that God will give you the wisdom and favor to restructure your lives and finances so that you can stay home with your children. God will always honor us and help us to follow His plan for our lives.
I love you and care about you so much. I am praying today, especially for the men out there that this will be a wake-up call that God has called you to be a leader. You do not have the option of passing on this role God has called you to play if you want to be the man He has raised you up to be. God has called you to protect and provide for your family. God has called you to be the priest of your home and be the spiritual leader of your wife and children. I pray today that you will take these roles seriously and ask God to help you fulfill them to the best of your ability.
The biggest problem we have in our world today is the breakdown of the family. It is God's foundation for society. When the family works, society works. When the family breaks down, society breaks down. We can see clearly that the breakdown of our culture in 2022 can be directly tied to the breakdown of the family. There are many factors that have caused this, but first and foremost it is a spiritual issue and the blame has to start with men for failing to be the leaders God has called them to be.
MEN..NOW IS THE TIME TO RISE UP AND BE COUNTED. NO LONGER CAN WE SIT BACK AND ALLOW THE WORLD TO DICTATE OUR ROLES, BUT WE MUST BOLDLY FOLLOW GOD'S WORD AND HIS PLAN FOR OUR LIVES. NOW MORE THAN EVER OUR WIVES NEED US...NOW MORE THAN EVER OUR CHILDREN NEED US....NOW MORE THAN EVER OUR NATION NEEDS US...NOW MORE THAN EVER OUR LORD NEEDS US TO RISE UP AND BE THE MEN GOD HAS CALLED US TO BE! IT IS TIME FOR MEN TO LEAD!!!
There is a great hymn of the faith, "Rise Up O Men Of God." Let me leave you today with the last verse of that hymn and let it be YOUR song for today and tomorrow!
"Lift high the cross of Christ! Tread where His feet have trod. As brothers of the Son of Man, Rise up, O men of God!"
In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller
