Daily Devotional for Thursday November 20, 2025

God can use the “stranger” to judge the United States! and, What the Bible says about immigration!

DAILY DEVOTIONAL THURSDAY NOVEMBER 20, 2025

(Romans 13:1-7)

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

Thanks to a couple special year-end gifts and others giving as they were able as the Bible teaches, we have cleared up the final $40,000 of our September shortfall and the first $10,000 of our October shortfall. God is great! That leaves the final $45,000 from October, the $55,000 from November, and the $55,000 we will require in December. By God’s grace we only need $155,000 over the final 43 day of 2025 to end the year with all of our ministry operations current. OUR GOD IS ABLE!

With less than 2 months left 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***

Dear Lord, help us and guide us in this changing world we live in to be effective servants for YOU. I am so grateful that You never change! Throughout human history we have embraced the technology of the day in order to share the Truth of Your Word and the hope and love of our Lord Jesus Christ. Grant us Your wisdom oh Lord, and help us to use all of the tools and technology we possess to get Your Truth to the masses, minister to hurting people, and lead lost souls to faith in our Savior Jesus Christ!!!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

Hear what God tells the children of Israel as a warning for their sin and rebellion! Deuteronomy 28:43 states, "The stranger who is among you will rise above you higher and higher, and you will go down lower and lower". As you can see, God using a foreign people as an instrument of His judgement is not a new thing. Of course it is to the United States, but why are we so arrogant that we can't believe God would punish us in this way?

While we can read this verse and think about the tens of millions of illegals who have poured into our land over the past 4 years of Biden and Mayorkas, millions prior to that over the years, we are literally living today with "strangers" from other lands ruling over us. Look at the hundreds of Muslims ruling over people at the city, country, state, and federal levels. Look at the "strangers" who have brought proven losing systems of government like socialism and communism from other nations to ours.

If you can't read Deuteronomy 28:43 and understand God's warning to His chosen people is just as applicable to this moment in history in the United States you need to wake up! If we don't humble ourselves, repent of our sins, and turn back to God Almighty, there are unlimited ways for His punishment to be meted out on this wicked nation. One way that we can see happening right before our eyes is to use the "stranger" as an instrument of His judgment!

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!

What does God say about the immigration issue? The last I checked, there were laws in this nation governing how people who are not citizens of the United States can come here legally. It really confuses me why immigration is such a hotly debated issue. It is very simple. If you are in this country illegally, you should be deported back to your country of origin. I don't care if that means deporting 100 people, 1,000 people, or the apx. 20 million people who are in this country illegally, send them back to the country they came from!

Many argue that it is not reasonable to deport the apx. 20 million people in this country illegally. It is not only reasonable, but if we don't then we should change the immigration laws to state anyone can come to this country without any restrictions. I assure you that if you were in any other country illegally, you would be deported. Try going to say, Mexico, or Japan, or most countries without proper documentation and see what happens to you!!!

I am well aware that people argue we need the 20 million illegal aliens to do jobs that others won't. It is also argued "big business" is all for illegal aliens since they can pay them far below fair market value. Again, this is not difficult. If a business is hiring illegal aliens, prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. There are laws on the books governing this type of practice by business, enforce them!

Those in the "religious left" who support the legalized slaughter of innocent babies, same-sex marriage, the enemies of Israel, and everything else God loves and stands for in the Bible, also support allowing illegal immigrants to stay despite the fact they broke the law to get here. They claim it is the compassionate thing to do and Jesus would be all for illegal aliens. Really? I don't know what Bible they read but the Lord said to obey those in authority over us.

JESUS SAID TO OBEY THE LAW, NOT BREAK THE LAW!!!

People are free to believe whatever they want in regard to this issue, but the Bible is very clear. Nowhere in the Bible does it support breaking the law. This nation, like all nations, has very clear laws regarding how foreigners can come to this nation legally. Those who break the law should be deported immediately just like you would be deported if you were in another country illegally.

I have not even dealt with the crime and national security issues at stake. Only God knows the number of Muslims who have entered this country illegally and have "blended in," simply waiting for the right time to carry out some terrorist act on our soil. We already know far too well the number of illegal aliens involved in criminal activities like murder, drugs, guns, human trafficking, DUI, and sexual assault to name just a few.

THE ONE JOB THE GOVERNMENT MUST PERFORM IS SECURING THE SAFETY OF ITS' CITIZENS. OUR GOVERNMENT HAS FAILED MISERABLY DUE TO NOT ENFORCING THE EXISTING IMMIGRATION LAWS THAT EXIST!!!

I love you and care about you so much. I realize that this is a passionate issue for many. Everyone is free to their own opinion on immigration, but I choose to go to our final authority in all issues, the Bible! God is clear that breaking the law is never acceptable. Those who have come to this country illegally have broken the law and should be immediately deported.

If Congress wants to change those laws, let them do it. But until they do, the government has a responsibility to enforce the laws that currently exist and protect the citizens of this nation from those who would come here illegally, many of those people coming here to commit other criminal acts, and no doubt, some of those who have come to commit acts of terror on our soil!

This is not a complicated issue. ENFORCE THE LAWS THAT EXIST! THAT IS WHAT JESUS WOULD SAY TO DO AND THE BIBLE COMMANDS!!!

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,
