DAILY DEVOTIONAL THURSDAY JANUARY 23, 2025
(Romans 1:32)
***PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM BILL KELLER: God’s Word represent Absolute Truth and is our final authority in ALL matters!
***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, please help me today to be an active member of Your body. I pray each day that I will be yielded to You and Your will for my life.

In the name of Jesus I pray…AMEN!!!
***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: The National Cathedral in Washington DC is part of the heretical Episcopal Church that has become a stench in the nostrils of God! Back in 2003 I declared in a November Daily Devotional that the Episcopal Church was anathema, that it was the church in Pergamum spoken of in Revelation 2! :12! The
Episcopal Church supports the slaughter of innocent babies, gross sexual sins like homosexuality, and the movement of mentally ill males and females who don’t know what gender they are. Today’s Daily Devotional below is that very powerful word about the Episcopal Church and is an important read since over the last 2 decades it has only become more bold in promoting sins of all kind from the pulpit. While I believe there may be a small remnant of true believers in that church, I honestly don’t know how a follower of Jesus Christ could stomach to sit in the presence of true demons from hell that makes a mockery of Christ and His church.
As is customary, Tuesday morning on President’s Trump first full day in office, he, his wife and family along with VP Vance and his wife went to the National Cathedral for a traditional prayer service. What took place instead was not a prayer service, but a disrespectful political lecture aimed directly at President Trump. The cur! rent head of the
National Cathedral is Mariann Budde who calls herself a bishop. This should immediately set off whistles and bells since God very clearly states in 1 Timothy 3:1-13 that the office of pastor, deacon, and elder is to be held by men, and men who have not been divorced. Divorced men and women can be teachers, evangelists, worship leaders, and any other office EXCEPT for pastor, deacon, or elder. The office of bishop is essentially a glorified pastor and would fall under that office. Mariann Budde is no more a Biblical pastor/bishop than the former 2 at HHS Richard Levine is a woman or an admiral! Budde mocks God and His Word every day pretending to hold an office the Bible clearly says she is not qualified to hold.
However, it doesn’t end there. Budde is an avowed Trump hater with years of public statements declaring her hatred and loathing of the President. Not surprising she was a visible player in the violent and deadly George Floyd riots back in 2020. Tuesday dur! ing this
pathetic excuse for a prayer service Budde used her time to lecture President Trump on why criminals who broke our laws by entering our country illegally should be allowed to stay. Her words basically accused the President of being a cruel human being for enforcing our immigration laws. As she made the emotional case for these criminals, I wonder what she would say to the mother of Rachel Morin, a mother of 5 who was brutally raped and killed by one of these illegal kind and gentle souls Budde spoke of. How about the mother of 12 year old Jocelyn Nungaray who was lured out of her home late at night, taken under a bridge and raped and murdered by two of Budde’s illegals she wants to stay. What about the family of Laken Riley, a nursing student out for a jog one day when an illegal Budde spoke so glowing of tried to rape her and in anger took a massive rock and crushed her skull in. I could spend weeks going thru the seemingly endless litany of crimes of every kind committed o! ver the
last 4 yrs after Biden and Mayorkas opened our border to allow anyone from anywhere in the world to illegally invade our country.
A theological scam artist like Budde would counter that illegals commit less crimes than the native population. That is a lie since every one of them are criminals by their illegal entry into our country. The reality is NONE of the crimes committed by these illegals would have been committed if they weren’t in our country illegally! Budde is in fact nothing but an avowed leftist pushing a radical political ideology using her fake theological authority as cover. LIKE THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH ITSELF, MARIANN BUDDE IS A STENCH IN THE NOSTRILS OF GOD AND WILL BE JUDGED ACCORDINGLY!

***From the Liveprayer Daily Devotional 11/6/03. In light of the consecration of a practicing homosexual bishop (Gene Robinson) on November 2nd (2003), the Episc! opal
Church is declared ANATHEMA! This is the church in Pergamum spoken of in Revelation 2:12. I can only advise anyone in that church to LEAVE. God will not be mocked by a church more worried about offending sinful men than God Himself. God cannot and will not bless sin. The Episcopal Church is no better than the abominable Metropolitan Community Churches that promotes, glorifies, and takes pride in the sin of homosexuality.
Today, I renew my strong admonition to ANYONE who is part of the Episcopal Church to LEAVE IMMEDIATELY! This is no longer the church of Jesus Christ, but simply an empty shell, void of God’s Spirit! I told you 42 months ago this church was “anathema,” and based on the choosing of a woman who openly supports the sin of homosexuality to lead that church, how can anyone who loves the Lord stay and be part of such blasphemy? If your Episcopal church loves the Lord, then the ONLY choice is to break away and become independent. If you are part of an Episcopa! l church
that remains under the leadership of this tool of satan, you have no choice but to leave immediately.
“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.” (Romans 1:32)
Over the past 93 months of Liveprayer, I have refused to fall into the traps that so many national ministries have fallen into, and that is simply bashing those who have CHOSEN homosexuality as their sexual preference to incite the faithful to generate dollars. I have clearly stated in many past Devotionals that homosexuality is a sin, and that FACT is not even debatable. But today I MUST speak out on “churches” that support this deviant sexual choice, and ANY denomination or ministerial organization that would even consider having someone who has chosen this as their sexual preference to be ordained into their fellowship.
Let me say right up front, that the Bible c! learly
teaches there is NO division of sin. Sin is sin in God’s eyes. THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT TO GOD, ALL SIN IS EQUAL. Those who commit the sin of homosexuality commit a sin no greater or no less than someone who chooses to commit the sin of gossiping. Sin is a choice! The two greatest lies the pro-homosexual community have put out are that 1) homosexuality is something that you are “born with,” 2) 10% or more in our society are homosexual.
First, modern science has CLEARLY rejected and been unable to prove that, ANYONE is “born gay.” IT IS A CHOICE!!!! People choose to engage in homosexual behavior. Like all sin, once you do it long enough, it may seem natural, but it is still a choice. You are born black or white, you are born with blue eyes or green eyes, taking off your pants to have sex is a CHOICE! Also, all legitimate studies done by the non-homosexual community clearly show that less then 1% of the population EVER engage in this type of deviant sexual act.
To ha! ve a
“church” that accepts this sinful choice, to have a ministerial body that ordains people into the clergy who make this choice, you MUST reject the inspiration, inerrancy, and authority of God’s Word. There is no difference in having a “church” that accepts those who make the choice to engage in homosexual behavior, as a “church” that would accept those who make the choice to commit adultery. How popular would THAT church be!!!
To have an institution represent God, to have people represent God, who have clearly REJECTED God, is an ABOMINATION!!! It makes me sick every time that I hear of a “church” that accepts homosexuality as an acceptable sexual choice, and even more sick when I hear of a denomination or ministerial organizations that accepts people who choose to engage in this type of sinful sexual behavior to be in spiritual leadership.
SUCH A “CHURCH” IS A STENCH IN THE NOSTRILS OF GOD!
Note: If your church or denomination is even debating such a non-! debatable
issue you should be very concerned. THERE IS NOTHING TO DEBATE!
Sadly, the voice of sin in our culture is virtually unopposed in trying to get people to accept that their view is correct. The Bible is our ultimate authority in ALL matters. The Bible clearly says that God condemns the choice of homosexual behavior as sin and is an abomination. You either believe God, or reject God. The choice is that simple.
Can those who choose to engage in this behavior go to Heaven? Of course!! IF THEY REPENT, ASK GOD’S FORGIVENESS, AND THROUGH HIS POWER TURN FROM THEIR SIN. Just like anyone who chooses to commit murder, or adultery, or engage in ANY sin can go to Heaven if they will repent, ask God’s forgiveness, and through His power turn from their sin. It is your faith in Jesus Christ that saves you. But IF you choose Jesus as your Savior, how can you continue to engage in sinful activity? How can you blatantly sin against the God that you proclaim to love? Jesus said if yo! u love Me
you will obey Me!!!
I love you and care about you very much. Churches that tell people it is OK to engage in habitual, unrepentant sinful activity like homosexuality are an abomination to God. To have any denomination or ministerial organization accept those into the ministry who are living a life of blatant and unrepentant rebellion to God makes a mockery of the ministry. You can’t cut out the parts of the Bible that you don’t like. Once you start down that road, you have made yourself God.
However, we live in a free society. If people who have chosen to engage in homosexual activity want to have their own church, they have every right to. Just like those who worship satan can have their own church. As those who follow Christ, we have a responsibility to pray for them, for God to open their hearts to the truth of His Word, and to turn from their sin. Only God can change hearts, and for those who are in bondage to the sin of homosexuality we must pray for them to! open
their hearts and turn from their sin.
Until Jesus returns, we will always have those who choose a perverted form of sex with those of their own gender, just like we will always have those who choose to pervert sex by having it outside of the bonds of marriage. While we can never accept their choice since it is clearly against God’s Word, we must pray for them, just like we must pray for everyone who is battling any sin in their life.
For those reading this who are currently fighting homosexuality, let me tell you that God has never stopped loving you, and is simply waiting for you to turn from your sin and come back to Him. We serve a God of deliverance from sin, a God of forgiveness, and a God of restoration. Millions have turned from the sin of homosexuality and found complete restoration and fulfillment in living a life according to God’s plan. What He did for someone else, He can do for you! I pray today that you hear these words, and choose to find freedom f! rom your
sin today. That freedom is only a prayer away!
The church is exactly where men and women who struggle with the sin of homosexuality need to be. However, not in the pulpit leading the church, but in the pews seeking the Lord for His strength to find freedom from this sin they are in bondage to!!!
In His love and service,
Your friend and co-laborer in His work,
Bill Keller
