***Daily Personal Prayer For You***

Dear Lord, please be with those who are in bondage to drugs this day, as well as those in any type of bondage! Your Word says that You came to set the captives free. Please free those in bondage this day as they look to You for their chains that bind them to be loosed! You oh Lord have defeated EVERY FOE, and on this day, defeat that foe in my life, the lives of my family, and the lives of all who are looking for the victory only YOU can supply. In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

Today, let me share with you some important TV Nuggets. Colorado will be the first state to legalize prostitution statewide. Federal payments to the state of Minnesota in 2017 for Autism was $1.1 million, in 2024 that rose to $343 million! In the last 60 days 550 CDL schools across the nation have closed and 13,000 CDL licenses have been revoked because the holder didn’t speak English. The Atlanta Hawks NBA team will have a special night to celebrate an Atlanta strip club. ESPN sportscaster Stephen A. Smith has ZERO chance of being President in 2028.

In 13 months the Republicans who control the White House, House, and Senate have successfully held ZERO high level government criminals, starting with former President Obama, for decades worth of criminal activity starting with Russia-gate through the 3 years of lawfare against President Trump from 2021-2024. Did you know there are over 200 mosques in North Texas, and like in Europe Muslims are becoming a dominant force throughout this country. A NYC food service billed the Dept. of Homeless Services $583,000 to feed illegals...FOR ONE WEEK!

That should give you some things to focus your prayers on today!

*On the Monday night 3/2 Liveprayer TV program, I shared all of the most current and intimate details on the war in Iran and the Middle East, insight that you aren’t getting on the commercial news broadcasts. The war in Iran is an opportunity for Iranian Christians to rise up and publicly practice their faith and turn the satanic darkness of Iran into God’s magnificent light that will shine across the Middle East. This is 70 minutes long but well worth the investment of tine to know and understand everything that is happening in the Middle East by watching Monday’s Liveprayer TV program at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxvHKS3AZQc&pp=0gcJCa4KAYcqIYzv All of the critical updates on the war in Iran on Tuesday were covered in the first 15 minutes of the Tuesday night 3/3 Liveprayer TV program at: https://www.youtube.com/@TheLivePrayerShow/streams

***March Financial Update***

We ended February still requiring the final $10,000 from our January ministry operations plus the $55,000 for February. That is $65,000 to be current as we head into March. 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!

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!

“You shall not murder.” Exodus 20:13

Why not make death the penalty for drug dealers? I truly believe this question is not only legitimate, but can't be simply ignored or sloughed off as barbaric, racist, something we don't do, or any number of responses to fight back against the notion that we should execute drug dealers.

One reason for the blowback is that this conversation was initiated by President Trump during his last year in office. To be honest, he could propose the cure for cancer and his political opponents would have found arguments to fight him. Look at how the slavish mainstream media and many who oppose the President politically dealt with the death of the evil Iranian terrorist Qasem Soleimani and now Ayatollah Ali Khomeini. Many not only defended these evil monsters responsible for the killing and maiming of thousands of US soldiers and hundreds of thousands of other innocent people, but literally rebuked the President for taking them out!

Let me ask you a question. If someone walks into a 7-11, pulls a gun, and shoots the clerk in the head and kills him, would you agree there isn't at least an argument that the person who perpetrated the murder should face the death penalty? In 2023, apx. 100,000 people in the United Stated died of a drug overdose. That climbed to 120,000 in 2024! Each one of those people purchased the drugs that ultimately killed them from someone.

WHY IS THE PERSON SELLING DRUGS THAT KILL SOMEONE ANY LESS CULPABLE THAN THE PERSON WHO PULLS A GUN AND SHOOTS A 7-11 CLERK DEAD???

Over the past 26+ years I have sat with, consoled, and counseled families who lost a loved one to a drug overdose. YOU tell the mother or father of a dead son or daughter to drugs that the person who sold their child those drugs doesn't deserve the same punishment ANY murderer should face. I am fully aware of the personal responsibility of the person who is using the drugs, and am in no way mitigating that fact. However, think about this. You can make the case very easy and legitimately that many drug dealers are mass murders!

History knows the names of purely evil people like John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Jack the Ripper, Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, to name a few. History does NOT know the names of evil drug dealers who are responsible for the deaths of dozens, hundreds, even thousands of people who died due to the poison they sold them. I submit that very few people would argue that any of these evil men named above are worthy of being put to death.

WHY ARE THOSE WHO SELL DRUGS THAT KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE ANY LESS WORTHY OF BEING PUT TO DEATH FOR THEIR PREMEDITATED CRIMES?

Let me add one other fact most people aren't aware of unless they are in, around, or part of the criminal justice system. Dealing drugs is NOT a non-violent crime. Please, let me say that again and hear me. DEALING DRUGS IS NOT A NON-VIOLENT CRIME!

To hear the bleeding heart liberals and media tell the story, you have people doing 20, 30, 40 years in prison for selling a few drugs, often to supply their own drug habit. They are just poor misunderstood addicts being unfairly treated by the criminal justice system. COW PIES!!!

Over 95% of state and federal cases are settle with a plea bargain. Here is the FACT about virtually EVERY PERSON in state and federal prison on drug charges. People who are doing lines of coke or meth, smoking a joint, are NOT in prison for 5, 10, 20 years or longer. That is pure propaganda. You don't get a long prison sentence unless you are selling large amounts of drugs, and in most every case the plea bargain has resolved much more serious and violent charges!

In a typical plea bargain for someone selling drugs, here is what happens that the public never knows about. A drug dealer is caught and looking at 40, 50 years in prison. So they cooperate and tell the prosecutors everything they know about the drug ring they were part of. In return, they get a sentence of 5 years, 7 years, instead of the 40 or 50 they were looking at.

In that process, to get down to the 5-7 year sentence they drop the amount of drugs they were dealing, in almost every case there were firearms involved and those charges are dropped, and there are almost always victims that they are charged with hurting in some way and those charges are dropped. So when it is all finished, to the public it looks like some poor non-violent drug addict, often a minority, doing lots of years in jail due to his addiction.

THE REALITY IS, THESE ARE VIOLENT PEOPLE, INVOLVED IN A VERY VIOLENT WORLD, WHO HAVE HAD THE BULK OF THE SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST THEM DROPPED IN THEIR PLEA AGREEMENT!

I love you and care about you so much. I will let you and most importantly the politicians fight over the issue of whether drug dealers should be executed. Of course like all criminal penalties, they serve a dual purpose. Most important is punishment. Never forget the first and foremost reason of the penalty for committing a crime is punishment. However, it does serve a secondary purpose and that is as a deterrent for others who are considering committing a similar crime.

You already have many major drug dealers currently serving a life sentence for selling drugs. I would assume many who support the death penalty would not have an issue with those high level, high profile people being executed. This topic though is bringing in drug dealers in general, street level dealers, since it is the actual person who is selling people the drugs they die from who can be argued are no different than the person who kills a 7-11 clerk.

My gut is that there is ZERO political will for such action being taken. In today's highly partisan political environment it probably won't even receive a healthy debate. Sadly, many states are now legalizing drugs and even going “soft” on those who deal deadly narcotics. In the meantime, we will continue seeing 100,000+ dying each year due to the poison that has enslaved them, and their murderers will never be held properly accountable!

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Bill Keller
