***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: A random act of evil or simply where our culture is at today? A few months ago, a 13yo Washington state boy killed a man. When the police arrested him, they asked him why he did it. The boy responded that he was “bored and “felt
like it.” Now most will simply dismiss this as an isolated act of an evil by a young boy, but I submit to you this is where more of our society is at that you could imagine or ever want to admit! This heinous and totally unnecessary act is the result of many things we have talked about over the years on the TV program and I have written about in the Daily Devotional. First of course is the breakdown of marriage and the family, the foundation of society. It has been impossible to get details about this young boys life due to his age, and yes, a 13yo boy with his mother and father who loves and nurtures him, takes him to church, prays with him and read the Scriptures to him, could also commit such a disgusting violent act. However, the odds of that happening are exponentially reduced in the home environment I just suggested! You also have to deal with the mental health issue. Nobody can make a legitimate case that a 13yo boy who randomly MURDERS someone is sane. There might ! be years of
abuse, years of exposure to violent video games, yet whatever the external issues at play may have been, this boy has legitimate mental health issues. Here is the bottom line my friend. We live in a culture where there has been a complete breakdown in the foundation of our culture, marriage and the family. We also live in a culture where there is NO legitimate mental health infrastructure. As random as this act may appear, I contend that evil acts like this are more the norm than the exception.

***APRIL FINANCIAL UPDATE: We ended March with a $40,000 shortfall. So far we have covered $10,000 of our March shortfall leaving the final $30,000. I am praying that we can cover that shortfall by TODAY which would give us the final 13 days to take care of the $55,000 we require for our April ministry operations, or a total of $85,000 to end the month with all of our 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 wife and I have just sold our last rent! al 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.”

Not one person re! ading
this Devotional today has not had someone at some point in your life hurt you. Some of you may have been physically or sexually abused as a child by a mother, a father, a relative, or someone your family knew. Some of you may have had a wonderful childhood, but in your young adult life been hurt by a boyfriend or girlfriend. Some of you may have been the victim of a horrible crime like robbery or rape.

Still others may have been deeply hurt by your husband or wife who wanted a divorce. There are many of you that have been hurt later in life by your children. Lots of people reading this have been hurt by employers, business associates, or close friends. Sadly, some of you have even been hurt by a pastor or someone in your church. The fact is, EVERYONE reading this today has been hurt at some point in your life.

As painful as the experience was that caused this hurt in your life, so many people have compounded that pain by letting bitterness, even hatred into their! life
against the person or people who caused your pain. Today, I am going to help set you free from this hurt and pain you have experienced in your life.

In a prison, they have a central lock that can automatically open all of the cell doors in a given area. If you have ever been in prison or watched a prison movie you know what I am talking about. There is the loud buzz, followed by the clanking sound of all of the cell doors automatically opening. Today, many of you are in prison from the hurts and pains in your life. Today, the cell door is going to open and you are going to be FREE!!!

The key to unlocking that door is FORGIVENESS. As simple as this may seem, it can be one of the most difficult things in this world to do. Forgiving someone who has hurt us deeply is one of the hardest things to do in life. It is not something that we can even do in our own strength, but must be done in the strength we get from the Lord.

I realize that many people right now are
saying…NO WAY…not after what that person did to me! As a Christian, it should be our goal to be like our Lord every day. What were some of the last words Christ spoke from the cross? What was his last act before dying that horrific death? He asked God to forgive those who had crucified Him!

When we sin, and we all sin every day, what do we do? We go to God and ask Him to forgive us. We do so with the full assurance that He will forgive us because He has promised to in His Word. In Colossians 3:13 the Bible tells us, “To forgive as the Lord forgave you.”

God’s Word is clear that just as Christ forgives us when we sin against Him, we must forgive those who sin against us! That is the key to unlocking the prison door and being free once and for all from the hurt and pain you have experienced in your life. FORGIVE the person or people who have hurt you in your life!

The other problem I deal with each day is people not being able to forgive themselves.! Listen, the
Bible tells us, “We have all come short of the glory of God.” We are all sinners. We all make mistakes. When you go to God and confess your sins, the Bible promises us that He not only forgives us but cleanses us from all unrighteousness. He not only has forgiven us, but He has forgotten the transgression. God acts like it never happened. The point I’m trying to make is that if God has forgiven you, if God has wiped the slate clean, if in God’s mind the sin never existed…then you need to forgive yourself.

I love you and care about you so much. I realize that this is a difficult word for many of you to hear today, but this is going to literally change the lives of those who will receive it and do it! I want you to take a moment right now, stop what you are doing, and take out a piece of paper and a pen. Literally write down the name of the person or names of the people in your life who have hurt you deeply.

Now, pray this prayer: “Dear Father, I come to! you today,
thanking you that you love me so much. I thank you that you are not only a God of love, but a God of forgiveness. Thank you for forgiving me of my sins. Father, I come today and pray that you will give me YOUR strength to forgive those who have hurt me in my life. Right now, this moment, I forgive (name/names). I not only forgive them, but Father, I ask that you bless them. They need you in their life and I pray that they will come to have a personal, intimate relationship with your Son. Thank you for giving me the strength to forgive and thank you for setting me free from the pain in my life. In Jesus precious name I pray. Amen!”

I will be praying for each of you today to pray this prayer. It is time to forgive those who have hurt you, and it is time to forgive yourself if need be. Put the hurt and pain of your past behind you once and for all and move forward with your life. God still has much left for you to do and by forgiving those who have hurt you, you are now! free to do
all that He wants to do in and through your life for His Kingdom!!!

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Bill Keller
