DAILY DEVOTIONAL TUESDAY FEBRUARY 14, 2023
(1 John 4:8)
***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, help me to always be prepared to serve You in any way that I can. My life belongs to You. I am ready, willing, and able to answer Your call as I go through my life each day. Use me for Your glory. I am Yours! In the name of Jesus I pray…AMEN! *Salvation message from Ground Zero: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqZ9oaqJNJg
***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: Two numbers. 6% of Americans hold a Biblical worldview. 44% think God is sending a serious message. One is disappointing but not shocking, the other is hopeful. A Biblical worldview means you look at life and the events in the world, in your own life, through a Scriptural lens. Everything that happens is happening as seen thru God’s Word. THAT my friend is how ALL Biblical Christians should be looking at life around them and their very own life. A Biblical worldview is wh! at
Liveprayer has done every day for over 22 years in the Daily Devotional and for nearly 19 years on the TV program. I have taken the very real world events we witness each day, the very real life events in our own life every day, and put them in the context of God’s Word! The fact there are 44% of the people who think God is sending a serious message through the Chinese Flu pandemic is a good number. That DOES NOT mean 44% think we need to repent of our sins and turn back to God and His Word, but before you can even go there, people have to be convinced that there is a God and that God is actually trying to communicate to us through this worldwide pandemic. So from that standpoint, it is a good start and gives me some hope we actually might…I SAID MIGHT…be able to get people to respond as the people of Nineveh did. Let us pray they do!!!

***FEBRUARY FINANCIAL UPDATE: We ended January with a shortfall of $35,000. So far we have covered $15,000 of that shortfall leaving the final $20,000. I am praying that we can clear up that shortfall in the next few days and begin working on the $55,000 we require for our February ministry operations. That is a total of $75,000 by the end of the short month of February to go into March with all of our ministry operations current. 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 WHAT 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 wi! fe 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 tithe.”

Today is the day the world celebrates that powerful force known as love. The world focuses on the romantic aspect of this emotion, but I want to focus on the true meaning of the word from God’s perspective. You see God’s love, Biblical love, has an aspect that the world tries to copy but fails. That aspect of God’s love, the love spoken of in the Bible, is that it is UNCONDITIONAL.
I can tell you right now, that in our frail human condition, it is impossible to love anyone unconditionally. However, when you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, when you have the strength that God imparts to you, to love someone unconditionally is not only possible, but required of His children.
One of the common threads that you will find in my Devotionals is that when you live your life according to God’s plan, things will work out. However, when you rebel, ignore God’s warnings, do it your way instead of God’s way, it never works long-term a! nd you
end up dealing with heartache and pain that could have been avoided.
For those like me who are hardheaded and stubborn, we have to find this out the hard way and endure some of the worst things life has to offer before we finally realize that if we would just submit our will to His, and do it His way, we could avoid many unpleasant experiences and the serious consequences of our rebellion.
Love, God’s kind of love is no different. God has a specific plan. In a romantic sense-between a man and woman-it is intended for us to have one partner during this lifetime. While I realize that for many it is not the case, that doesn’t alter or change what God’s plan is. For those who have gone through the pain of divorce, broken relationships, you understand very well why God’s plan is the best way. I want to encourage those young adults today to not hurry into romantic relationships so early in life.
I cannot begin to tell you the mail I get daily from young adults 1! 3, 14,
15, 16 who are writing because of problems with boyfriends and girlfriends. In all honesty, they have no business being romantically involved at that age. The biggest problem that I have seen in many years of ministry, dealing with literally tens of thousands of young adults “in love,” is that the revolving door of relationships that starts FAR too young, gives people a mindset that when things don’t work out the way you like, just move on. Sadly, that mindset is carried into marriage, and when things get difficult, it becomes much easier to just walk away and get a divorce as opposed to honoring the vows you made to your spouse, and to God.
God’s plan is for one man, one woman, for one lifetime. Again, those who have been through multiple relationships in their lives understand why that plan works so well. Patience, faith, and trusting God is the key element in establishing that God-ordained union in your life. It then puts you in a position, with the power of God liv! ing in
you, to love that person the way you should, unconditionally.
Outside the romantic arena, unconditional love is the way God expects us to love others. How can you love someone unconditionally that you don’t even know? Think about the unconditional love God showed when He gave His only Son on a cross 2000 years ago for the sins of this world. For the sins of everyone, including those who mocked and cursed Him. That is the true test of unconditional love.
Loving someone who loves you is easy. Can you love, unconditionally love, someone who has been mean to you, done bad things to you, caused you pain and heartache? God did. How do you think God feels about those who defy Him, sin against Him, work against Him, hate Him? These are the people that He gave His Son for. DESPITE ALL THEY DO, GOD STILL LOVES THEM-UNCONDITIONALLY!!!
I love you and care about you so much. I pray, today, that you will think of someone this Valentine’s Day who you have had problems wi! th in
your life. I want you to get on your knees tonight before you go to bed and pray for that person. Pray for them, and ask God to give you unconditional love for that person. The Bible tells us, “Love our enemies.”
Again, that is God’s kind of love, unconditional love. You will not even begin to know the feeling of joy and peace as you pray for that person who hurt you. The blessings you will know as you love that person unconditionally. God loved you unconditionally even though you were a sinner. How can we do any less? Make today a special day as you pray for that person in your life who has harmed you in some way, and in the strength that God gives you, love that person…UNCONDITIONALLY.
In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller
