(1 Corinthians 15:57)
***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, help me to be a blessing to someone I meet today. Help me to not be so self-absorbed that I miss the opportunity to be a good witness for You. Today, I yield myself to You. Use me for Your glory! In the name of Jesus…AMEN!!!
***THANK YOU AND I PROMISE I WILL DO MY BEST EVERY DAY NOT TO LET YOU DOWN!!! My drive the last 30 years has been focused on one thing…serving the Lord to the best of my ability, giving Him 100% of Bill Keller each and every day. After 30 yrs of public ministry, 22 yrs here at Liveprayer.com and 18 yrs on Liveprayer TV, I have been constantly humbled by the love, prayers, and incredible sacrifices so many in the Liveprayer family make to insure His work here continues to be a bright beacon of light in this dark world and a source of God’s Truth to the lost and hurting masses in the marketplace the church virtually abandoned decades ago. I never forget for a second the ! trust so
many over the years have placed in me to be a voice crying in the wilderness for a lost nation to repent and to turn back to God and His Word! Again, thank you for all of your love, for all of your prayers, and for those God has enabled and moved to support His work here at Liveprayer. I will continue to wake up each morning and give the Lord and YOU the very best I can that day! May God’s richest blessings be on you and your family as together we help lead this lost nation under God’s judgement back to Him and once again bask in His rich blessings!
***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: In case you didn’t know it, San Francisco has a “gay choir.” Recently, they released a song, “We’re coming for your children!” targeting parents. Way back in the early 2000s shortly after Liveprayer.com signed on, I wrote a Daily Devotional about the fact the pro-gay lobby was targeting children. They did it through the media and they did it thru curriculum they were abl! e to get into the schools
from K-12! 20 years ago most parents ignored that warning as paranoia, but sadly for the last 10 years same-sex sin has been normalized, mainstreamed, and even glamorized in our culture. TODAY EVEN A MAJORITY OF CHURCH KIDS ACCEPT THIS SIN ALONG WITH SAME-SEX MARRIAGE! They are now so brazen they openly mock parents who are teaching Biblical values to their children! They do it because they understand that in today’s culture it is those who take a stand against this sexual perversion who are the “haters” and “bigots!” This one issue is a perfect example of why the church not only must speak up on the issues of the day, THEY NEED TO DO IT INSIDE THE FOUR WALLS OF THE CHURCH AND OUTSIDE THE FOUR WALLS OF THE CHURCH WITHOUT FEAR OR COMPROMISE!!! I’ve said it for decades, satan’s followers work harder and are more focused on their goals than the followers of Christ!!!

Satan fights to win, why don’t we??? Let me say right up front that I realize satan is only loose for a season and his eternal destination, the Lake of Fire, has already been prepared for him. I also realize that those who know Jesus have the promise of eternity in Heaven. So for all eternity satan is a loser and those who come to know Jesus by faith are winners.
That is what frustrates me even more. Why do those who follow satan, who will be losers for all eternity, stop at nothing to achieve victory during this life, while those who follow Jesus, who have the assurance of eternity in Heaven with God their Creator, sit back and accept defeat during this life?
As Liveprayer is getting ready to celebrate its 22nd year anniversary in August, I have been doing some deep soul searching. One part of me is ! very thankful and
blessed to have been part of this move of God that has touched tens of millions of lives around the world these past 22 years, having responded to over 180 million emails for prayer, an archive of over 1.8 million praise reports that testify to the greatness, power, and glory of Almighty God, and most important of all, the 1.8 million people we know of who have accepted the Lord as their Savior by faith.
On top of that we have pioneered using the Internet as an interactive ministry tool, helped pave the road for live broadcasting on the Internet, and have had a presence on secular television and in the mainstream media like few others ever have!!!
Whatever satisfaction there may be has been greatly tempered by the reality that also in these past 22 years of Liveprayer, the world around us, our culture, has continued to deteriorate. We have made little IMPACT in the overall spiritual deterioration of our society. Slowed it down a little at best. While we have done! a decent
job in battling satan for the souls of men, satan and his minions have continued to win victories in forcing his agenda on this world.
I have to be honest and admit that while Liveprayer has made an impact in tens of millions of lives, we have been mostly ineffective at stemming the tide of the spiritual decline of our culture. On that front satan has kicked our butt and I don’t’ like it!!!
Where does it say that satan is supposed to be victorious, even for whatever brief time he is loose in this world? We know from reading the end of the Book that God will eventually judge this world for its sin and rebellion and end it all. However, only God knows when that will be and I refuse to sit back and accept, even though these are clearly the last days, that we have to watch satan doing a victory dance it the end zone time after time after time after time.
Once again, I know when the game is over satan loses, but there is no reason he has to keep scoring points w! hile he
is loose! The reality is, he is more committed to winning the daily battles of this temporal world than we are!!!
This is going to get brutal, the truth always is, so please don’t get upset. I am not minimizing what anyone has done for the Lord and am the first in line to accept full responsibility for my part in our failure to greatly impact our culture for Christ. The biggest problem is how many churches, ministries, works of God, have an end game, a plan for complete and total victory?
Sadly, most churches, ministries, and works of God have as their goal to do the work of God in the lives of the people they reach, and that is fine. But for most, their vision of victory is making it from one year to the next. That is not victory, that is simply self-preservation from year to year. Why don’t they have as their goal victory over the issues of our day? Not just talking about them, but a plan and strategy to get VICTORY!
The fact is churches, ministries, and ! works of
God have NO PLAN for victory over the social ills of our day. While satans troops set out to legalize the slaughtering of babies in this nation and keep it legal, 48 year worth of victories for them, how many pro-life groups have there been over the years, how many hundreds of millions have they raised, and LITTLE HAS CHANGED!
The fact is, I assure you some of these organizations would be upset if abortion was made illegal since they would be out of business and their key people out of a job and a big salary! The same is true on family issues, homosexual issues, gambling, pornography, and other social issues that plague our culture. Why don’t any of these churches, ministries, or numerous organizations who raise hundreds of millions annually for their causes have a plan to achieve victory???
I’ll be honest with you. I am not going to sit back and watch another 22 years go by should the Lord tarry and not make an impact on this culture. The fact is we can impact m! illions
of lives for Christ AND impact the culture. We are currently under God’s judgement for our sin and rebellion. If we are to save our nation we much lead this nation to repentance and back to God and Biblical values!
If the reprobates can take a stand for their beliefs, invoke their will on society, why can’t the righteous take a stand for our beliefs and invoke our will on society? I hear all the time the ungodly whine and scream about Christians and their beliefs, yet they think it is perfectly acceptable to force society to accept their ungodly beliefs and actions. This is a war for the soul of men and for the soul our nation! The fact is satan is winning because he won’t stop until he achieves victory and we don’t even have victory as our goal!
I love you and care about you so much. Like the servants of satan work and work until they get victory, we will work and work until we get victory. I AM NO LONGER INTERESTED IN JUST IMPACTING LIVES AND THE ETERNAL SO! ULS OF MEN
FOR CHRIST, BUT IN ALSO SAVING OUR LOST NATION. WE HAVE MORE CHURCHES, MORE MINISTRIES, MORE WORKS OF GOD THAN EVER BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF CHRISTENDOM, YET OUR CULTURE IS IN SPIRITUAL FREEFALL. WHY? VICTORY IS NOT OUR GOAL.
WELL THAT IS NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE! THROUGH CHRIST JESUS, WE HAVE VICTORY AND IT IS TIME THAT WE LEAD THIS LOST NATION AND ITS’ PEOPLE TO THAT VICTORY!!!
In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller
