God wants to use YOUR life for His purpose and glory. Be open, trust Him to guide your every step. GOD CAN AND WILL USE YOU EACH DAY TO ADVANCE HIS KINGDOM!

*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!

***Daily Personal Prayer For You***

Dear Lord, Thank You for another day of life! Let us never to forget that EVERY DAY is a special day since it is a gift from You! Please let me never take one day, one hour, one minute of this precious life for granted and may I always honor You with my life! In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

Today’s TV Nugget is for you to take the couple of minutes you would spend reading this space and use those minutes to say a special prayer for President Trump, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and for all of those in our military who are making the decisions regarding this conflict in Iran and the Middle East. Pray for them to seek the Lord for HIS wisdom and HIS direction as they prosecute this war.

Also, pray for our brave heroes in uniform who are on the front lines of carrying out the war effort, for God’s protection and that He will watch over them and bring them home to their families and a grateful nation quickly.

Lastly, pray for our brothers and sisters in Iran that through all that is happening they will be able to come out of the shadows and freely exercise their faith. Pray they will be able to worship with other Believers without government persecution or interference and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ without fear of retribution. AMEN!

***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. That is $110,000 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!

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

Have you ever come to a place where you were tired of fighting life's battles, things weren't working out the way you had hoped or expected and you simply said, "This Jesus thing just isn't working." How about coming to that place where you heard what God said on a specific subject and decided that you didn't agree with Him and made the choice to reject God and do it your way. Has there ever been a time when you wanted to quit following Christ and go back to your old life?

The reality is, this is the exact place MANY come to at some point in their journey with the Lord. Based on the emails I get each day, I know there are people reading these words this very moment that are at that EXACT place. Each week we add approx. 8,000 new subscribers to the Daily Devotional. Each week we also see approximately 8,000 leave the Daily Devotional.

In well over 80% of the cases where people unsubscribe, they tell me they don't agree with what God's Word says on issues like faith in Christ being the ONLY way to be saved, the sin of homosexuality, that abortion is murder, that all sex outside of marriage is a sin, that living together without being married is not God's plan, and any other issue you can name. They make the choice to ignore what God’s Word teaches!

Note: This is the exact reason so many pastors refuse to deal with the critical issues of life. They don't want to "offend" anyone for fear of losing people in their church and money in their treasury. So they compromise and stay away from the real issues of life and preach a "feel-good," watered-down Gospel, being careful to never talk about sin. This "positive mental-attitude Gospel" sounds nice, but unless a person accepts the fact they are a sinner, the Holy Spirit convicts them of their sin, they repent and ask the Lord to forgive them, and then invite Him into their heart and life by faith, they are being duped into believing they are going to heaven by gutless pastors who are more worried about the applause (and $$$) of men than the applause of God!!!

In today's anchor verses from the 6th Chapter of John's Gospel, we have the Biblical account of people who were following Jesus, but after hearing Him preach on an issue they didn't agree with, "Many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed Him." In the Book of Acts we hear of a man who was part of Paul's ministry named Demas (Colossians 4:14). We hear of Demas again in 2 Timothy 4 when Paul states, "For Demas, because he loved this world, has deserted me."

I remember many years ago preaching a message on Demas and in preparing that message, literally breaking down in tears reading that verse in 2 Timothy 4 about Demas turning his back on the Lord's work to go back into the world. How sad for someone to come to the place, for whatever reason, that they quit Jesus.

Sadly, every day many pastors and people who are in full-time service to the Lord make the decision to leave the ministry. This is a HUGE issue that is rarely talked about or discussed. Just in recent weeks several highly visible pastors and musicians have publicly stated they were “leaving the faith.”

Of course, this brings into play the great theological debate regarding eternal security. I am not going to go into depth on this issue today, though I will soon to help those who may be confused about what God's Word teaches regarding if it is possible for someone to lose their salvation. You are free to believe whatever you want about this issue, but the Bible is clear that if you are truly saved by faith in Christ you will always be saved. Again, the critical issue is if you ever made a conscious decision to surrender your life to Jesus to begin with. (Dr. Charles Stanley has an excellent teaching on the subject of Eternal Security.)

AT THE END OF THE DAY ONLY GOD KNOWS A PERSON’S HEART IN REGARDS TO SALVATION, BUT WE DO KNOW A “TREE BY THE FRUIT IT BEARS”...OR DOESN’T!!!

Sadly, satan is a liar and many people listen to his lies at difficult times in their lives. Choosing to turn your back on the Lord ruins your joy, robs you of your peace, and causes you to miss the abundance of this life, but you don't lose your salvation if you truly accepted Him by faith. Salvation is a product of your faith in Jesus and God's grace, period.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say that God withdraws His grace, which by definition is His unmerited favor, or something you did nothing to earn in the first place. The real key to this issue, something only God knows for certain, is did the person really accept the Lord into their heart and life by faith to begin with.

The thing I have always loved about Peter was that he was a very bottom line kind of guy. He was never shy about stating his opinion, and more often than not that opinion was inspired by God Himself. Here again we see Peter rise to the occasion when Jesus asked the 12 disciples if they too were going to leave. Peter boldly proclaimed, "To whom shall we go?"

For those of you today who are discouraged, thinking about quitting, giving up, turning back, let me ask you the same question Peter did, "WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GO???”

I love you and care about you so much. You really only have two options, you stick it out with Jesus or you got to satan. There is no other choice. You either follow Jesus or you follow satan. Satan is a liar and his goal is to kill, steal, and destroy. By following satan you will spend all eternity in the Lake of Fire, a place specially created by God for satan and his fallen angels. God is Truth. God wants you to know His peace and joy and the abundance of this life. He loves you unconditionally. He sent Jesus to die for your sins so that you could spend all eternity with Him.

As Peter correctly told Jesus, "You have the words of eternal life."

I will be praying for you today. Praying that the next time you get discouraged, the next time you get weary from fighting life's battles, the next time you start thinking how things aren't working out the way you hoped in your life, you will remember the words of Peter, "WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GO?"

The only place to go is to satan. Do you really want to go back to the way your life used to be before you started to follow Jesus?

My friend, the Lord is your only real hope and your only real answer for this life and all eternity. The trials and tribulations we face are all part of living in this fallen world infested by sin. But take comfort today from the words of Jesus when He told his disciples just hours before going to the cross, "Be of good cheer, for I have overcome this world!"

Even though we don't have the details, I proffer that one reason Demas turned back to the world and quit serving the Lord was the attacks that come when you sell out your very life to serve and follow Jesus. The temptation to quit, to give up, to stop following the Lord, all stem from just wanting some peace from the never-ending attacks at every level. However, at some point you have to decide no matter what, you are going to serve and follow the Lord, even unto death!!!

The Lord gave His life for us, how can we do any less???

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Bill Keller
