Daily Devotional for Sunday June 22, 2025
THE USA AT WAR IN IRAN!!! What is a MAP? and, Your secret sins!
DAILY DEVOTIONAL SUNDAY JUNE 22, 2025
(Job 24:16; Psalms 90:8; Ephesians 5:12)
***SPECIAL MESSAGE REGARDING US BOMBING OF IRAN!!! Please be praying for God to move on hearts to bring peace as quickly as possible to Iran and Israel. I believe President Trump was guided by God in his decision to bomb the three Iranian nuclear sites. I would encourage people to watch the first segments of the Liveprayer TV programs last week to understand what this really means! Liveprayer TV: https://www.facebook.com/liveprayer/videos As you pray, remember that Iran may have moved their finished nuclear products to a location we or Israel DO NOT KNOW. That means we might not have accomplished what we set out to in the bombing raid. Also, Iran WILL respond! We have 40,000 troops in dozens of bases and ships throughout the Middle East. THEY ARE AT RISK! Iran’s terror proxies Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis have been quiet so far, but will they now go on the offensive. Iran has one of the world’s greatest cyber hacking capabilities and could target US infrastructure like water and electric. Only God knows how many Iranian sleeper cells are in the US after the 4 years of Biden’s open borders and what plans they have. Lastly, if Iran shuts off the straits of Hormuz it shuts down 20% of the world’s oil and gas flow causing a major global financial hit. So our actions are not without risk or possible reprucussions. PRAY FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP, OUR MILITARY, OUR NATION, AND FOR GOD TO BRING PEACE TO ISRAEL AND IRAN!

***PERSONAL MESSAGE FOR YOU FROM BILL KELLER: Trust the Lord today with whatever your need may be!
***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, I ask You today to open my heart and my Spirit to receive what You have for me today. Let me hear Your voice clearly and obediently follow You. Use me oh Lord, for Your glory and to advance Your Kingdom! In the name of Jesus...AMEN!!!
***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: Prison psychological counselors say the most vilified population are pedophiles. They state that society must STOP using the word pedophile due to the stigma attached to it. They need to refer to such people as a MAP, a Minor Attracted Person! This is how sin is mainstreamed into society, by changing words. You aren't allowed to call abortion what it is, MURDER! No, you must refer to it as “women's reproductive rights,” or “women's healthcare,” or a “woman's right to choose.” The sin of homosexuality was mainstreamed into the culture by not calling it what it is, people who CHOOSE to engage in perverted, unnatural, unhealthy sex with people of the same sex. Instead the lie that people are born that way and calling it “love.” I told you the next sexual perversion that will become mainstreamed and societally accepted is pedophilia. A big part in making that happen will be by not calling it pedophilia, but excusing this sick and destructive behavior as love, and the excuse that some people are born with an attraction to sex with children. If the good Lord decides to keep me around another decade, I GUARANTEE YOU pedophilia will be just as socially accepted as same sex perversion is today! Do we really need to ask why God is pouring out His judgment on our nation?

"Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance." Psalms 90:8
Rarely a week goes by that we don’t get news that some famous person has learned the hard Biblical lesson that "The Lord bring to light the things hidden in the darkness" (1 Cor. 4:5). It was Jesus who said, "There is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms shall be proclaimed upon the housetops" (Luke 12:2-3). Anyone who thinks they can sin and keep their sin a secret is a fool, because no matter how well you try to cover up your sin, GOD SEES EVERYTHING!
My heart is breaking this morning, because I know that many who read these words this morning are hurting because of secret sins in your life. To those in your life, everything looks wonderful. Many envy you. Most see you as a person who is strong in the Lord and a pillar of faith. You are a business person, a mom, dad, son, daughter, or pastor. You serve God in many ways. You love God. You have put your faith in Christ. But there is sin in your life. Secret sin. Sin nobody else sees. Sin that possibly has been part of your life for many, many years. Sin that you have swept into a back closet so nobody else would know about it.
SIN THAT IS KEEPING YOU FROM THE JOY, PEACE, AND ABUNDANCE THAT GOD HAS PROMISED FOR YOUR LIFE.
What is this sin? For each person that is different. For some it is alcohol. The two beers each night, the scotch after work, have become so much a part of your life that even though you are not classified as an alcoholic, you know and God knows, that you HAVE to have it. THAT is a problem. Some of you woke up this morning after not sleeping well because you are deeply involved in gambling. Possibly you owe a local bookie for sports bets. Or maybe it is those lottery tickets you HAVE to buy each day. Or maybe it is the local casino down the road that you just can't stay out of. Just as bad are those who play the markets each day, not investing for the future, but looking for the daily "hit."
Others of you are dealing with sexual sins. Pornography is the easiest since it can be just you and your movies, or magazines, or computer. Possibly you have evolved past the solo stage and it involves other people. Still others of you are secretly involved in drugs, legal and illegal. Actually, those who use prescribed drugs to get that "high" outside of the medicinal purposes it was designed for, is a MUCH larger problem than the more publicized illegal drug problem. However, that is a multi-billion dollar a year industry so SOMEBODY is buying all that cocaine, pot, heroin, meth, ecstasy, and the rest.
Still others of you are involved in the sin of greed. Making money is more than just a way to support yourself and family, it is an obsession. Money is your drug of choice. And of course, there are a multitude of other sins people are secretly involved in.
You see my friend, the Bible says that the enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy. That verse is talking about believers. How does that happen? We know that if we give our lives to Christ by faith we are saved. The enemy can't have our souls. But he can destroy us from being the productive servants God has called us to be. The easiest way to do that is to get us trapped in sin. Sin is like cancer. It starts out almost innocently. But it grows and spreads. Very few who are involved in gambling, don't drink. Very few involved in drugs are not involved in sexual sins. Very few are tied to just one secret sin.
As a matter of fact, once you let sin into your life, and practice sin, it opens the door for other sins. You see, at some point it doesn't matter any longer. The great justifier satan says, "oh well, you already are this deep, what harm could a little more sin do?" This my friend is the trap. It is like quicksand. You get in, and get deeper, and deeper, and deeper, and getting out becomes harder, and harder.
I realize that this word today has made some turn their computer off, some have hit the delete button, and others are sitting right now in tears. You see, the Holy Spirit is talking to YOU! God is speaking to you this moment louder than He could if he were on a public address system at a stadium. He is talking to YOU and saying READ THIS . . . THIS IS YOU!!! The Prodigal Son came from a Godly, good home. I think when he went out, he was a good person. I think like many brothers and sisters in Christ, he simply allowed sin to enter into his life, and it ate him up to the point of near destruction. But in the end, he knew when he hit the bottom, there was only one place to go . . . HOME to his father!
Were there consequences for his sin? YES! His inheritance was gone, he suffered the damage of the horrible experiences he encountered. He probably had some health issues. But the point was, when he "came to himself" he went home! MY WORD FOR YOU TODAY IS THAT GOD LOVES YOU. GOD CARES ABOUT YOU. NO AMOUNT OF SIN CAN EVER STOP HIM FROM LOVING YOU. READ 1 JOHN 1:9. YOU DON'T HAVE TO CONTINUE IN YOUR SIN, BUT YOU CAN STOP TODAY AND LET GOD HELP YOU. THE CHOICE IS YOURS. AT THE END OF THE ROAD YOU ARE ON IS DESTRUCTION. GOD IS THE FLAG MAN WITH THE ORANGE VEST SAYING . . . STOP NOW!!!!
I love you and care about you so much. I wish I was able to help make it all okay by snapping my fingers. I would but that is not reality. Sin didn't start overnight, didn't occur overnight, and the effects of sin won't go away overnight. As a matter of fact, they will be with you the rest of your life. Sadly, that is one of sin's by-products. But you can have victory over sin today! Today can be the first day of victory over sin in your life. But the first step MUST BE YOURS!!!
Here is some practical advice for you to follow if you really want victory. You are in a battle. To win a battle, you must have a battle plan. Pray, sit down and let God give you a plan that you can faithfully work each day. Then, you need someone you can be accountable to on a daily basis. You can't win this fight alone, you need someone to stand with you, and to hold you accountable. Lastly, you need the strength you can only get from God. That comes from your daily relationship through prayer and the Word, from being in church, from finding ways to serve the Lord. All of this working together will help you overcome this battle and see victory.
I will be praying for you today. There is victory in this life, victory for Jesus. The biggest trap we as Christians must avoid are those secret sins that will eat away at us from the inside. Destroy us from the inside. Make us virtually useless in serving God. Never forget, our purpose in this life is to serve and glorify Him with our lives. The easiest way for the enemy to stop us from fulfilling that purpose is to get us entangled in sin in our lives. We can live FREE from sin if we choose to. That is what God is calling you to do today. Turn from your secret sin, and turn fully, 100% to Him.
Again, know that I am praying for you. I can't do this for you, YOU have to do it. But know that I am here praying for you, standing with you for victory over the sin in your life. God will strengthen you, embolden you, and help you see victory. The first step, however, is yours. The prodigal son had to go home before he could get victory. Bury your pride since God already knows the full story, and go to Him today. My prayers are with you.
In His love and service,
Your friend and co-laborer in His work,
Bill Keller
