***Liveprayer Church***

Haven't been to church yet this week? Join me for this week's service at the LivePrayer Church. This week's message is: “Perseverance!” Please visit the website at: http://liveprayerchurch.com and be part this week's worship service. Each Sunday there will be a new service at 12:01am EST

***CHRISTMAS FOR SINGLE MOTHERS***

After much prayer and despite still needing $130,000 to end this year with all of our financial needs current, I have taken a huge step of faith and am announcing that as we have done virtually every year since Liveprayer began over 26 years ago, we will be helping out single mothers this Christmas. We will be helping 30 single mothers with a gift of $200 so they can insure their children have something under the tree and a nice Christmas meal. As in past years, all I ask is that these single mothers we help go to church with their children on Christmas! I never ask people to do something I don't do myself, and am giving into my personal need by taking care of 10 of the 30. If God is leading you to help me take care of any of the other 20, just make sure you mark on your $200 credit card or check gift that it is for the Single Mothers Christmas.

What I need is for those who want to be considered, send me a short email with your name, address, and phone number. I need to know how many children you have and their ages. Lastly, a brief description of why you need this help. PLEASE, AS IN YEARS PAST WE WILL GET INUNDATED WITH REQUESTS. IT WILL BE FIRST COME. PLEASE DON'T BE UPSET IF WE AREN'T ABLE TO HELP YOU, SINCE WE CAN ONLY HELP 30 SINGLE MOTHERS. PLEASE KNOW IF WE CAN'T HELP YOU, WE WILL BE HERE PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN! Email request to: bkeller@liveprayer.com and put SINGLE MOTHER in the subject line. God bless you and enjoy this blessed celebration of the birth of Jesus!!!

So far we have covered 28 of the 30 single moms with just 2 to go! Praise the Lord!

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

God is TRUTH, satan LIES! John 8:44 tells us he is the “father of lies” Be like God and be a man or woman of TRUTH!

So far we have cleared up the first $45,000 of our October shortfall. God is great! That leaves the final $10,000 from October, the $55,000 from November, and the $55,000 we will require in December or $120,000 over the final 18 days of December to end the year with all of our ministry operations current. OUR GOD IS ABLE!!!

With only a few weeks until the end of 2025, please be praying about a special year-end gift to Livprayer! For many, a gift to God's work here will help on your taxes since you are either going to give the money to the government to waste, or to Liveprayer to get HIS Truth out to the masses and save souls!!! To give a gift to Liveprayer: http://liveprayer.com/donate.cfm

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!

***Daily Personal Prayer For You***

(A personal prayer of mine each morning as I awake!) Oh Lord, help me today to pick up my mantle, whatever You have deemed that to be, and be faithful. Give me Your strength to be all that You have called me to be, and to lead in whatever capacity I have been called to for this season. It is time for Your children, men, women, young adults, to rise up and be counted for You in these last days. Guide me oh great Jehovah as I live and lead for YOU! In the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ I pray…AMEN!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

One of the things that has greatly troubled me recently, is the number of people who say that they believe in God, say that they are a Christian, yet have no problem supporting choices that are clearly defined in God's Word as sin. My friend, Jesus said it best when He said that "No man can serve two masters." The Christian faith is not a smorgasbord where you can pick and choose what you like. You can't claim to have faith in Christ, yet support the things that the Bible speaks against. To borrow a political term, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A CHRISTIAN MODERATE. Either God is real or He is not.

Let me first clarify what a Christian is. A Christian is a person who has made the personal choice to repent of their sins and ask Jesus into their heart by faith (John 3:16; Romans 10:10; Ephesians 2:8-9). It is your personal faith in Christ that makes you a Christian. The church you belong to cannot save you. Having a priest or pastor baptize you when you were a baby did not save you. Living a good life does not save you. The fact that your parents are Christians cannot save you. Only making the choice to repent of your sins and ask Christ into your heart makes you a Christian.

If you would like to become a Christian, to ask Christ to forgive you of your sins, accept Him into your heart by faith, surrender your life to Jesus, please go to: https://liveprayer.com/salvation-plan.cfm

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."

Each day we make many decisions, many of them regarding whether to follow Christ or give in to sin. Standing in the face of those decisions always seems easy beforehand, but when the pressure is on and it is time to make your choice, how can you avoid falling?

As you know, I not only try to give you spiritual guidance each day, but realize that we live in the real world. Translating your Christian faith into actual day-to-day living is my number one goal. It is nice to talk about all of these great spiritual concepts, but making them real in our daily life is the true test and what I hope to accomplish.

That is why I stress that to win those spiritual battles in your life, you have to have a battle plan. A real life plan of action that you can work at each day to see victory. So let's talk about how to stand up to the sin we face each day in our life, from a practical standpoint.

It starts with the basics. Time each day in prayer. Time each day reading the Bible. Belonging to a local church. Finding ways to serve God each day. These become the cornerstones to our day-to-day life that strengthen us and enable us to say no to sin when it comes knocking at our door.

When you are praying each day, when you are reading the Word of God, when your focus is on serving others, when you are being fed spiritually at your local church, working together gives you the spiritual focus and strength to avoid sin. To be honest, it is impossible to be sinning when you are serving.

It is impossible to be serving God and satan at the same time. Jesus even said no man can serve two masters. When you are following Christ, sin has no room in your life.

Now you understand why so often I keep hammering home how important it is to be praying, reading the Word, in church, and serving God. When you are involved in sin, these are the things you stop doing. None of us are immune to sin. We all must constantly be on our guard, since it is the enemy's desire to destroy us.

All the more reason we must be diligent, faithful, committed, and disciplined to our daily relationship with Christ. This journey is 24/7. We must always be on our toes, always prayed up, always focused on what it is God wants us to do. The second you let your guard down, you have opened yourself up to the enemy getting into your life. This is not to make you live in fear, because if you are walking with Christ, there is nothing to fear.

I love you and care about you a great deal. You can count on my prayers that you will realize the seriousness of your daily walk and time with the Lord. Remember, it is the only thing you will take into eternity from this life. It is what keeps you strong and able to stand up to sin's temptation. Make it a priority in your life to do the things each day that enable you to stand up to sin.

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

Bill Keller
