***CHRISTMAS FOR SINGLE MOTHERS! After much prayer and despite still needing $100,000 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 most years since Liveprayer began over 23 years ago, we wil! l 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 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.

God bless you and enjoy this blessed celebration of the birth of Jesus!!! *So far we have covered the first 20, leaving 10 more we can bless this Christmas season!
***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: Here is the bottom line to the Twitter documents that are being released piecemeal over the last week through a couple of journalists whose personal opinions are really meaningless. I don’t know if in the process of trying to buy Twitter, Elon Musk knew he was buying a company that had a partner, the US Government! For context, there is no doubt the government had contact with Big Tech and the major social media operations in the context of their law enforcement work. I am sure they would routinely go to a court and get a judge to sign off on a subpoena for information from the social med! ia
companies regarding cases they were working on. So let me say up front there has always been a legitimate relationship between law enforcement and Big Tech and the social media companies. However, we have known for many years now and it is being confirmed, the FBI, DHS, NAS, and CIA have been using Big Tech and the Social Media companies to illegally spy on people they were targeting and using the censoring of narratives they did not support to shape public opinion. This started in earnest after Trump’s unexpected victory over Clinton in 2016. The censoring by government officials was initially used to advance their political objective of damaging the Trump Presidency and insuring he would not be re-elected in 2020, but also was used to shut down all commentary that was outside of the government narrative during the pandemic as well as other events such as the 2020 Floyd/BLM/ANTIFA riots and January 6th. Also, it is necessary to note that Elon Musk owes a great deal of his! personal
wealth to government subsidies. That is how he launched Tesla and SpaceX. Musk is still heavily involved with not just the US Government, but other foreign governments, especially the CCP where he is doing the bulk of his Tesla operations since the most critical parts for electric vehicles come from China. So Musk is no stranger to partnerships with government. Let me help you with the bottom line to this whole drop of Twitter documents. As the first drops occurred, it came to light the Twitter’s chief counsel James Baker was the one vetting what the public could see. That makes sense that their lead attorney would want to vet anything as explosive as the release of internal company documents. There was one little problem however. James Baker is the same James Baker who was the chief counsel for the FBI under James Comey. James Baker was up to his eyeballs in the whole Russia scam and was fired for leaking information to the news media. In reality, he should be in prison ! for his
role in the Russia hoax! After being booted out of the FBI, Baker amazingly landed as the chief counsel for Twitter! As I have educated the TV audience many nights, at the end of the Obama Administration in January of 2017, an incredible number of top West Wing personel, in addition to key people in the upper management of government agencies like the FBI, Homeland Security, DOJ, NSA, CIA ended up in Silicon Valley working in executive positions at Big Tech/Social Media companies. When it became public, Twitter chief counsel James Baker was vetting what information would be released to the public Musk fired him. Good move, but it now appears Baker was little more than a sacrificial lamb. I say that because still on the Twitter payroll in executive positions are over a dozen ex-FBI, DHS, DOJ, Homeland Security, and NSA personel. Now I have been overseeing an internet operation for over 23 years now. Outside of my personal assistant, the only employees I have are my tech peopl! e. They
are obviously critical for the day to day operations of Liveprayer. I would need an ex-FBI or CIA executive on my staff as much as I would need an ex-opera singer! WHY DOES MUSK STILL HAVE ALL OF THESE EX-FBI, DHS, NSA, DOJ, HOMELAND SECURITY, AND NSA PEOPLE IN THE EXECUTIVE SUITE OF TWITTER??? For the record, Facebook/Meta/Instagram, Google/YouTube, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and other Big Tech and Social Media operations also have dozens of these top government law enforcement personel in their executive suites! I ask the question again, WHY DOES MUSK STILL HAVE ALL OF THESE EX-FBI, DHS, NSA, DOJ, HOMELAND SECURITY, AND NSA PEOPLE IN THE EXECUTIVE SUITE OF TWITTER??? It is clear they are in these positions at Twitter and other Big Tech/Social Media companies to oversee the government’s interests and their ongoing operations of illegal surveillance of US citizens (their political opponents) and shaping the public narrative on the critical issues of the day. The bottom line i! s until
it is explained what purpose these ex-government law enforcement serve in their executive positions at Twitter, and until we get un-redacted documents dealing from these executives and their corporate and private interactions with the FBI, NAS, DOJ, DHS, and CIA, sadly these Twitter drops are nothing more than Kabuki Theater. The jury is still out on Musk, but as of this moment it has all been smoke and mirrors.

The other day I was reading the newspaper and saw the most accurate description of our world today I have EVER read. Let me tell you what the author said. “For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as! God nor
gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore, God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator–who is forever praised. Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depr! aved
mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.”
Actually, the author of these words was GOD Himself, and this was not in a newspaper article, but is found in God’s Word (Romans 1:21-32). I especially like the line in Verse 25, “They exchanged the truth of God for a lie.” If that doesn’t describe our culture today perfectly, I don’t know what does. Satan, the great perverter, has told the lie enough times that people have now accepted the lie as the truth, and rejected the truth as! a lie
exactly as God said they would.
I know there is much debate and controversy within the Body of Christ as to exactly how the events of the end times will unfold. One of the interesting things about Bible prophecy is that you really can’t tell someone they are wrong since these are events yet to occur. While the study of eschatology or the end times is interesting, my focus is on our real day to day lives and how to live a victoriously in the context of the Christian faith. However, there are some end time events nobody will dispute and one of those is the imminent return of Jesus Christ.
The Bible clearly teaches that NO MAN, only God knows the hour of Christ’s return. But make no mistake, this is NOT a Hollywood movie, it is a very real event that will take place. One thing is certain, when Christ returns whatever final events that must take place will quickly unfold and this world as we know it will no longer exist. Even though only God knows the exact moment Ch! rist will
return, the Bible clearly tells us what the last days prior to His return will be like. My friend, you do not have to have a Doctorate in Theology to read God’s Word and know that without a doubt, WE ARE IN THE LAST DAYS.
In Paul’s second letter to his young disciple Timothy, in Chapter 3 Verses 1-5, he describes the last days. “But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God — having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.”
Peter also shared the signs of the last days in 2 Peter 3:3, “First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.” Peter and Paul c! ould have
been writers for the USA Today commenting on the state of our world in the year 2022 with their words.
Jesus commented as well on the signs of the last days in Matthew chapter 24. His disciples asked Him point blank what will be the sign of His return and the end of the age. Jesus answered in Verses 4-14, “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, “I am the Christ,” and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many pe! ople.
Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”
You see my friend, this is why those who know Christ as their Savior have to be busy about the work of the Kingdom. We are clearly in the last days, the night is coming and we must work while it is still light. The imminent return of Jesus Christ is a message you will not hear in the church very often because too many pastors either don’t believe He is coming back, or they have lost sight of how soon it will happen. God’s people need to not only be ready themselves for Christ’s return, but must be busy sharing this Good News with the lost and dying world that we live in. The Bible tells us it is only God’s patience that is keeping the last chapter from being written because it is His desire that none perish and ALL come to
repentance.
I love you and care about you so much. I will be praying for you to take some time today and PRAY over these words. It is no accident or coincidence that you are reading this today, God is speaking to you. For those who have never made a commitment of your heart and life to Jesus Christ by faith, the Bible says that TODAY is the day of salvation. Take a moment right now, pray and ask God to open your heart and go to the following link and read the words there: https://www.liveprayer.com/salvation.cfm
For those who know Christ as your Savior, this is a wake-up call from God that the time is short and you need to be giving all you have each day in serving Christ. Serving Him is not an option but a requirement of ALL His children. God calls most to serve Him right where they are at, in your neighborhood, at school, on the job, where you recreate, in the various hobbies you have. Every day the Lord brings people into your life who will never go to churc! h, never
read a Bible, or never watch Christian media. You are the only connection to God they have. God has put them into your life so that you can share with them the hope and love of Christ. Never forget, when your life is over the ONLY thing that will matter for eternity are those lives you have impacted for Christ.
Based on what God’s Word tells us about the last days, you can hear trumpeter in the back room warming up. Christ came to this earth the first time unannounced to the world, born in a lowly manger in an obscure village. However, He is preparing for a triumphant return at any moment that the entire world will witness as He comes back “with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God.”
In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller
