CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF LIVEPRAYER!
DAILY DEVOTIONAL WEDNESDAY AUGUST 28, 2024
(Proverbs 13:5, Hebrews 13:18)
***PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM BILL KELLER: Pray daily to be a person of truth and honorable in all of your dealings.
***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Lord, even though we have no right to ask, please continue to watch over this nation. Thank You for showing us the clear signs of destruction our sin and rebellion have heaped upon our land. I pray today that as a nation we will turn back to You and Your Truth. Give me strength as days of persecution are upon us, and let me stand proud and strong for You and Your Kingdom. In the name of Jesus I pray…AMEN!
***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: AG Garland gave an ominous press conference the other day, focusing on the upcoming 2024 election this November. He clearly stated that anyone who questions the validity of the election will be dealt with ! harshly,
pointing to the J6 political prisoners as the example of what people raising questions about the election will be facing. The gist of Garland’s message was crystal clear. The Democrats are once again going to cheat and if you dare question the results, the full force of the United States government will come after you! Does this include Democrats who will certainly raise questions about the election if Trump wins? OF COURSE NOT! Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin is already on record stating that if Trump wins, they will NOT certify the results of the election to keep him from actually taking office. You know, the “peaceful transfer of power” the Democrats are always crying about? For the record, that takes place on January 20th, NOT January 6th. In 2021 Donald Trump left DC at 11am, one full hour before the peaceful transfer of power took place! Raskin continues to opine that Trump is an insurrectionist and due to the 14th Amendment is not eligible to hold public offi! ce. Of course
this was the same lame and flawed legal argument Colorado and Maine used to try and keep him off the ballot in those states. That question ultimately went before the Supreme Court and NINE TO ZERO, unanimously, SCOTUS ruled against this flawed use of the 14th Amendment. The fact is even crazy Jack Smith, the illegal Special Prosecutor didn’t try to charge Trump with insurrection. For the 14th Amendment to even become relevant Trump would first have to be charged with insurrection, convicted by a jury of his peers, and that verdict upheld on appeal. As a supposed Constitutional expert, Raskin is employing the same failed legal logic lawfare advocates like Andrew Weissmann, Norm Eisen, and Mary McCord have used in failing to put Trump in prison on numerous bogus legal cases at the state and Federal level. Again, the key take away of the Garland presser is 10 weeks in advance of the election he is firing a warning shot at anyone who dares questions the results of the election! , meaning
Trump supporters. This tell me clearly that he is preparing for the Democrats cheating operation to be in full force and if successful, intimidating those who speculate about the fairness of the election into silence.

One of the early lessons most learn as a child is that cheating is wrong. Period. It is not something that you can debate or make exceptions for, it is always wrong 100% of the time. One of the breakdowns in our society these past 40 years is the attitude of people towards cheating. The sad reality of the world we live in today is that cheating is not only accepted, but condoned as long as you don’t get caught. Today, I want to deal with this whole issue of cheating and challenge those who love the Lord to be men and women of honor, not dishonor which is what a cheat is.
As a sports fan, I read a book years ! ago
written by two writers from the San Francisco Chronicle that cataloged and documented the use of steroids and other performance enhancing drugs by baseball superstar Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants. Bonds had been suspected for many years of using steroids to enhance his performance on the field. Never before in baseball history has a player had their productivity increase after the age of 35 like Bonds. Steroids not only makes an athlete stronger, but just as important, allows their body to recover quicker keeping them on the field each day playing at their highest level.
The classic book, “Game of Shadows,” used as one of its many sources, interviews, cell-phone records, answering-machine tapes, and documents from Bond’s long-time mistress. Sadly, Bonds not only cheated in playing baseball, but he also cheated on his wife and family. The fact is, Bonds was already a baseball superstar, possibly even a Hall of Famer prior to his involvement with steroids. Chea! ting not
only tarnished his career, but undoubtedly caused great pain to his family and others in his life. Remember this, when you cheat, you will eventually be caught!
“You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.” (Psalms 90:8 NIV)
I know in my own life the pain I caused myself, my wife, and others close to me when I made the decision to cheat many years ago. It was 1988, I had the opportunity to get involved in a scheme to trade the stock market on inside information. Even though I knew it was illegal, Satan, the great justifier, told me that nobody was really getting hurt and I wouldn’t get caught. Sadly, we forget when we listen to satan, we are listening to a LIAR! John 8:44 calls him the “father of lies.” He is always there, quick to lie to us to help us justify why it is OK to cheat. Of course, less than a year later my cheating was exposed and I would eventually spend 31 months of my life in Federal Prison.
Never f! orget my
friend, that your secret sins will be exposed one day. What you do in the dark so nobody else can see will eventfully be seen in the light. If you are cheating at work or at school, if you are cheating on your taxes, if you are cheating someone out of money or property, if you are cheating on your spouse, if you are cheating at a game, if you are cheating in any way you will eventually be caught. As I share with you often, sin always carries a big price, a price much greater than we ever dreamed we would have to pay.
This is a huge issue in our society today since we now have the largest percentage of three generations who have never been to church and have grown up in homes void of God and Biblical Truth. We have so many children growing up in busted, blended, unstable homes where basic values like honesty are not being taught or reinforced. Subsequently, we live in a culture now where cheating at every level is pretty much acceptable, again, as long as you don’t get ! caught.
Baseball knew Barry Bonds was cheating, but until documented, irrefutable proof was put forth, they simply ignored it and let it happen.
The heart of all high-profile corporate scandals are all about this same thing, cheating. Again, the stance of our society today is that cheating is not only acceptable but often encouraged…as long as you don’t get caught, then everyone acts outraged and incredulous at how people could do such a thing. This is another reason why now more than ever, the people of God have got to rise up and take a stand for righteousness. We can start by living our lives each day with honor and integrity.
I love you and care about you so much. As followers of Christ, it has to be our desire, our goal to be like our Lord. Jesus was truth! (John 14:6, John 8:32, 36, Hebrews 6:18) To be like Jesus, we have to be people of truth. Don’t forget, satan is a liar. When we lie, when we are dishonest, when we cheat, we are not acting like Jesus but like ! satan. We
live in a world that is lost in sin, listening only to the lies of satan, so it is no wonder why people cheat. They don’t know how to live any other way. That is why those who know the Lord have got to rise up and be counted in these last days and lead people into righteousness.
I will be praying for you today. Praying that you will take some time today and evaluate your life. Are you cheating in any area of your life? If you are, STOP NOW before it destroys you. God is speaking to many of you through this message today. He is trying to get your attention by tapping you on your shoulder. Trust me, the next time He taps, it may be with a 2×4 on the back of your head, or maybe a steel pole for those like me who have extra thick skulls. A tap on the should can be convicting, but it is better than the pain of that 2×4 or steel pole.
Barry Bonds will sadly always be known as a cheater. Rather than enjoy the adulations as one of the greatest to ever play the game, he w! ill be
scorned and rejected by most who will only remember him for being a cheater. Pray for Barry Bonds and his family today. I have no idea where he is with the Lord, but like all of us, he needs Christ in his heart and life.
While you may never be as famous or as well-known as Barry Bonds, you are known by your family and friends, by the people you go to school with, work with, recreate with, and go to church with. Do you want to be known as a person of honor and integrity, someone who lives a life that exemplifies what being a man or woman of God is supposed to be like? Or will you cheat in different areas of your life, get caught, and be known by those people in your life as just that, a cheater?
The choice is yours. You can dishonor God by being a liar and cheater, or honor God by being a man or woman of honor, integrity, and the truth!!!
In His love and service,
Your friend and co-laborer in His work,
Bill Keller
