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

It is in the difficult times of life, the our faith in God becomes real.

***Daily Personal Prayer For You***

Dear Lord, thank You for allowing me to live at such a time as this. It is a time when our nation has turned its back on You and Your Truth. However, there are still many like me who love You, and will live my life for You. Use me and my family as Your instrument to help lead our nation back to righteousness and once again be a nation that worships and honors You! In Jesus name I pray...AMEN!!!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

The current “pop tart” of the day is Taylor Swift. I would normally not care about what some singer has to say, except when they start lying to people about theology. Current estimates are that Swift has some 1.3 billion fans, called “Swifties” worldwide. At nearly 68, I have seen the “pop tarts” of the day come and go. Mormon cult member Marie Osmond, Mariah Carey, Whitney, Madonna, Britney, and Lady Gaga to name a few. Recently Swift claimed to be a Christian and that “real Christian values support abortion.”

Sadly Miss Swift is 100% wrong. The fact is, real Christian values support LIFE! As easy as it would be to hammer Miss Swift, I can't because apx. HALF OF THE CHURCHES TODAY PROCLAIMING TO BE CHRISTIAN SUPPORT THIS BLASPHEMY THAT KILLING AN INNOCENT BABY IS OK!

You see my friend, we can pound the entertainment elites, sports stars, and others who have a huge platform, but those who serve satan are only doing what they believe in. I have spent over 33 years in the ministry debating those who deny Christ, the existence of God, and the Truth of the Bible. I am not naïve and fully understand that the largest percentage of people in the world are lost and without Christ. Like Paul, I have always believed that men should “reason together.”

Sadly, much of the bride of Christ, His church, has been hijacked by the minions of satan. So the battle is not just against the non-Believers, but the apostate church. Weak and ineffective churches are what gives rise to the false beliefs that Taylor Swift holds on the issue of abortion. So the battle is before us my friend, but my Bible says the “battle is the Lord's.” WE ARE HIS ARMY! MAY WE RISE UP AND WITH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD FUELING US SEE VICTORY! AMEN!!!

***February Financial Update***

After covering the balance of our 2025 shortfall, we have able to take care of $15,000 of our January shortfall leaving the final $40,000 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

A call for men of God to step up and fight! Goliath, the champion warrior of the Philistines had challenged the army of Israel to a one-on-one battle. If the warrior for Israel defeated Goliath, then the Philistines would become the servants of Israel. However, if Goliath was victorious, than Israel would become the servants to the Philistines.

As Goliath mocked and taunted the army of Israel, the Bible says, "On hearing the Philistine's words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified." The fact is, there was nobody in the Israeli army who was willing to accept the giant's challenge, and it was looking like he would win by default because nobody would fight him.

Of course we know that God had a warrior to face Goliath. His name was David. He wasn't a mighty man of war. As a matter of fact, he wasn't a warrior at all, he was a shepherd boy. But he knew God and was appalled that with all of the great men of war who were in the army of Israel, not one was willing to accept the challenge of the heathen Goliath.

So David confidently went to King Saul and told him that he would go onto the battlefield and take on the Philistine giant. The rest of the story is well known, as David, armed with only his slingshot and a few pebbles, went out in the name and power of the God of Israel and slew Goliath.

We also have one of my favorite passages of the Bible that I have preached on many times during the years. That classical confrontation in 1 Kings 18 between the prophet of God, Elijah, and the prophets of Baal. The man of God defeated the tools of satan by confronting them, challenging them, and meeting them head on.

I tell you often that the only way God is defeated is when men of God fail to step up! I've always wondered, where were the religious leaders of Israel during this confrontation with the prophets of Baal? Why was it this virtually unknown prophet who had to confront, expose, and defeat these false prophets?

I have no doubt the Jewish religious leaders were doing what most of today's Christians leaders are doing. Rather than confronting evil, going out on the battlefield in the name of the Lord to defeat the false prophets of the world, they are too busy building monuments of brick and mortar to themselves, preaching to the choir in the safety and comfort of their churches, and living a luxurious life full of the temporal pleasures of this world.

They are more focused on building their own kingdom than God's. Instead of fighting the false prophets, they might actually be in bed with them if it advances their earthly goals and aspirations.

How else do you explain the fact that we have more churches in this country than ever before. We have more Christian TV, radio, publishing, and music than ever before. We have more ministries of every kind than ever before. Yet at the same time our culture and society is in spiritual freefall.

We legally slaughter over 4,000 innocent babies every 24 hours in this nation. Pornography and gambling are available to anyone at any time. Sex has been abused and perverted in every way man has been able to dream up. There is no more restraint to sin. People openly worship every false god and idol the world has created.

How do you explain this paradox? The heathen giant Goliath is out on the battlefield, mocking, taunting, and cursing the followers of Christ. Those who serve satan wake up and perpetrate their evil each day virtually unopposed. Most Christian leaders are looking after their own interests behind the safety of the four walls of the church. Most of the soldiers in Christ's army are in their tents "dismayed and terrified," leaving the army of satan on the battlefield unopposed.

MY FRIEND, SATAN IS WINNING BECAUSE HE IS FIGHTING VIRTUALLY UNOPPOSED!!! THE ENEMY IS WINNING BY DEFAULT!!!

I love you and care about you so much. I love what Elijah told the people of Israel on Mt. Carmel. He said, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him." I echo his words today. How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.

I have made my stand for Christ and am not hiding behind the four walls of the church, but am on the battlefield, on the front lines battling satan for the souls of men. That is where you will find me until the Lord calls me home. Where are you today???

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

Bill Keller
