(Matthew 16:24; Luke 14:33; John 12:26, 15:8; 1 Peter 2:21)

***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, please help me to protect the things I see and hear each day to keep my mind and thoughts pure. Protect me Lord, and let me filter out the filth of this evil world that is designed to destroy my life. In the name of Jesus I pray, AMEN!!!

***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: “I’m shocked, shocked, to find that gambling is going on in here!” During the Presidential election, one night on the TV program I spoke of a group called, “Pro-life evangelicals for Biden.” If you ever want the definition of an oxymoron, this is it! Joe Biden has been a stanch advocate and defender of the abortion industry for his 47 yrs in politics. To this day I have NO CLUE what these people were thinking. Did they believe if they supported Biden he would start fighting Planned Parenthood? Well, in that $1.9 TRILLION DOLLAR liberal spending bill that passed the Senate this past Sa! turday and is
almost guaranteed to pass the House today before President Biden signs it into law is BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF US TAXPAYER DOLLARS for Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry. It is a joke to call it a Covid Relief Bill when only 9% of the money is going to people hurt by the Chinese Flu. The other 91%? It will bail out Democratic states like New York, New Jersey, Illinois, California who for decades have misappropriated their finances. They purposely shut down their states bringing hardship to millions of their citizens to hold out for a big government bailout. The actual Covid relief was supposed to happen last July, but Speaker Pelosi refused to push it forward until after the election to insure President Trump didn’t get any credit for helping the people harmed by the pandemic, and the fact there was no way President Trump would sign a bill giving a bail out to fiscally mismanaged Democratically controlled states. Basically that remaining 91% is nothing but a payoff! to the
Democrats political allies of the current administration. Of course 100% of this $1.9T will be borrowed and added to our national debt that will be apx. $30T after this bill is passed. Now this group of“pro-life evangelicals” who voted for baby-killer Joe Biden are upset. They feel “betrayed.” AGAIN…WHAT DID THEY EXPECT? Listen, this election was going to be stolen long before one vote was cast. The votes of these misguided people didn’t make a difference. However, how stupid are you when you vote for a lifetime baby killer and expect him to stop killing babies? They should just be honest and rename their group what it is…PRO-LIFE EVANGELICALS FOR SATAN!!

Today, I want to share wit! h you a very special message on
what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ. I was sitting in my office late Friday afternoon several years ago. The week was winding down. I was feeling physically and mentally drained, It was one of those quiet reflective moments alone with the Lord and I was asking Him to fill me afresh with His Spirit.

Moments later I was checking my email before heading to the gym for my daily workout when an email caught my eye. It was from someone who said that the message below reminded him of me. As I read the words he sent, I was mesmerized by the words I was reading. When I finished, I was sitting all alone in the quiet of my office and tears were streaming down my cheeks. I remember asking the Lord to please, let this be me today, tomorrow, and forever.

I want to share those powerful words with you today. I spent the many days researching their origin. While numerous people have claimed authorship, it is apparent that the author of these powerful words is unknown.! They
were most likely penned by a martyred missionary in Zimbabwe or an African pastor who gave his life for the faith.

I want to you to do me a favor and stop whatever you are doing. NO MULTITASKING! Turn off the TV, your cell phone, all of your devices. If you are in your office, tell everyone to leave you alone for a few minutes and lock the door. If you are at home, make sure you have a few moments of complete peace and quiet. Wherever you may be reading this, stop everything and fully concentrate on the words I am going to share with you today.

I’ve separated this into 16 powerful thoughts. Take each one separately and meditate on what it means and how it applies to you. These 16 thoughts pretty well sum up all I have written to you over the course of these past 22 years. They define what I have challenged you each day to become as a follower of Jesus Christ. I am having a copy made for my home and office. I want to read these words EVERY DAY to remind myself wh! o I am,
and who I am supposed to be as follower of Jesus Christ. Please, read these words, meditate on them, and let them bless you today as they have so richly blessed me.

“I’m a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made.

I’m a disciple of His and I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.

My past is redeemed. My present makes sense. My future is secure.

I’m done and finished with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity.

I don’t have to be right, or first, or tops, or recognized, or praised, or rewarded.

I live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by Holy Spirit power.

My face is set. My ! gait is
fast. My goal is heaven.

My road may be narrow, my way rough, my companions few, but my guide is reliable and my mission is clear.

I will not be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed.

I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice or hesitate in the presence of the adversary.

I will not negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won’t give up, shut up, or let up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of Christ.

I am a disciple of Jesus!

I must give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes.

And when He does come for His own, He’ll have no problems recognizing me. My colors will be clear!”

I love you and care about you so much. Please let this message encourage you and challenge you to be a true follower of Jesus Christ. As you read these words over and! over,
let the Holy Spirit convict you of those areas you need to do a better job in as a follower of our Lord. I pray that this will be a sentinel moment in your walk with the Lord.

If you ever wanted to see a description of what it means to be a follower of Jesus, this is it. I can promise you one thing, if you will work hard each day to become a living example of what each one of these words describe, the world will never doubt who you belong to! I challenge you today to let these words describe YOUR LIFE as a follower of Jesus Christ!

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Bill Keller
