COMING IN THIS SPACE TOMORROW WILL BE THE COMPLETE BREAKDOWN OF THE TRUMP/PUTIN SUMMIT AND WHAT IT MEANS IN THE COMING DAYS REGARDING THE POSSIBILITY OF PEACE AND THE REPERCUSSIONS FOR EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES!
A word of warning for Trump supporters and the Republican Party! Outside of the Big Beautiful Bill President Trump got thru the House and Senate by the sheer force of his personality, all of his accomplishments the first 200 days has been thru the Executive Branch, the Office of the President, and his endless desire to make America great again. The House and Senate have been worthless. Despite being in the majority, the Senate has allowed Schumer and the Democrats to stymie hundreds of critical people needed in various government agencies in addition to Federal judges. Leader Thune and Speaker Johnson could have gone in recess during August that would have allowed Trump to put these keep people in their jobs for the next year, giving the Senate plenty of time for formal confirmation, but they refused. The House should have started a special committee to expose Pelosi’s bogus Jan 6th Committee for the fraud it was, but 7 months later there is no such committee. Rep. Comer, head of the House Oversight Committee spent night after night on Fox News regarding the Biden crime family, yet despite lots of evidence it did not hold ONE PERSON accountable. Likewise, Senate committees have done nothing in 7 months to bring any accountability to 100s of government criminals over the last 10 years. WORTHLESS!
Here is my warning, one I have been sharing since Trump won the election last November. President Trump does not have 4 years, he has 2 years. For him to be successful in what he wants to accomplish this second term, he MUST have the House and the Senate for all 4 years. He has that the first 2 years. Historically the party in power loses seats in the midterms. Trump must buck history in November of 2026 and retain the House and Senate for his final 2 years. If he loses either, he will not be able to get anything accomplished legislatively, NOTHING! If he loses either chamber, the chamber the Democrats control will not twiddle their thumbs for months like Republicans, they will immediately use their majority on the committees to launch investigations into every Trump cabinet official, Trump himself, and anyone else who might be in the way. IT THEY WIN THE HOUSE, SPEAKER HAKEEM JEFFRIES WILL GAVEL IN THE NEW CONGRESS ON January 3rd, 2027 AND AS SOON AS HE TAKES THE OATH HE WILL GO TO THE FLOOR AND INTRODUCE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS DEMOCRAT MAJORITY WILL VOTE IN LOCK STEP. For what? They don’t need a for what, they will make something up. Don’t you remember what they did in 2018?
Here is the real warning people better pay attention to. IF the Democrats take back the White House in 2028, they will control the levers of power of the government, the FBI, DOJ, CIA and all of the agencies. They will work diligently from day one to reverse as much of what Trump has accomplished as possible. More important, they have proven over the last decade they are impervious to breaking laws. They will hunt Donald Trump daily like a lion stalks its prey. Not just Trump! Everyone who helped Trump in his administration, media and other organizations who supported the MAGA agenda, all will all be in their sights. Unlike the Republicans, they will be satisfied with nothing less than blood and destroyed lives. They play to the death. I have warned people about this for many years. It is like the servants of satan who work to the death of those they oppose, while the servants of Almighty God mostly just play games too much of the time. Politics is no longer a game, it is a death match like the gladiators on the sands of the arena. When it is over, one walks away alive, and one lays on the sands dead!

***August Financial Update***
Blessings! I really need your help today! We ended July still carrying the final $35,000 from our June shortfall and of course the $55,000 we required for our July ministry operations. That is a total of $90,000 to clear up our shortfalls almost half way through our anniversary month of August. God is able!
Thanks to the faithfulness of our friends praying and those able to help me at this time, our June shortfall is now down from $35,000 to the final $20,000. Amen! If God has put you in a place to help me with a special gift to cover all of that or some portion, please do what you can today so we can have this balance cleared up by the end of the week. GOD IS ABLE!
26TH Anniversary month! As we head into August, our 26th anniversary month, please pray about helping me with a special one-time gift of $26, $1 for every year, or $260, $10 for every year, or $2,600, $100 for every year, or $26,000, $1,000 for every year.
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 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 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 tithes."

This may seem like an easy question to answer, but think carefully before you answer. Do you run away from sin, or do you run TO sin? If you answer honestly, you will have to admit that there have been times in your life when you were guilty of running towards sin, or at least NOT running away when you saw sin coming.
I have spoken in past Devotionals about the path of escape that God not only always provides, but promises!
There is that instant, when your spiritual instincts are telling you exactly what to do. That my friend becomes YOUR moment of truth. Will you obey God and run away from sin? Or, do you ignore God and run to it, like the moth goes directly for the fire!
In today's scripture, Joseph saw sin coming. Realizing his own human weakness, he literally ran from it. THERE IS NOTHING COWARDLY ABOUT RUNNING FROM SIN! Let me say this again. THERE IS NOTHING COWARDLY ABOUT RUNNING FROM SIN!
As a matter of fact, it is an act of weakness and rebellion to God to NOT run from sin. It is like saying, "Okay sin, here I am, powerless to stand up to you . . . just run me over." Anyone can do that. It takes spiritual maturity to see sin coming and flee from it. The Bible even tells us to "flee from sin." It is an admonition that we need to take more seriously.
The question becomes, why don't we run from sin? There are two answers to this. It is because we either, a) don't trust our spiritual instincts enough to "see" sin coming, or, b) we simply love the sin more than the Lord at that moment. That may sound harsh, but it is very true. Jesus told His disciples that if they loved Him, they would obey His commandments.
As His disciples, we ultimately get the opportunity to show our love for Him often. It is usually in those cases when we have the opportunity to run from sin, or stay and indulge in it. Remember the next time that you want to tell Jesus you love Him. Show Him by following His commandments. Show Him by RUNNING FROM SIN!
I love you and care about you very much. I realize that many of you are in difficult situations today because you have succumbed to sin's temptations...you stayed instead of running. Running is hard. It actually requires a supernatural strength that we only possess through Christ.
Again, that is why that intimate daily relationship with Him is so critical to our daily walk. It not only strengthens us, but sharpens our spiritual instincts so we can see sin coming and run from it. I will be praying for you to really let these words today sink in. For many, these are very difficult words, but necessary. They are said in love, to help you avoid falling into the traps the enemy sets for you. Let me leave you with this encouragement. God BLESSES obedience. Not only is it our most effective way of proving our love for the Lord, but a side benefit is God blesses our obedience.
I am convinced that Joseph reaped the blessings of God for His obedience. What God did for Joseph, He will do for you. He gave Joseph the spiritual instincts to see sin coming, the strength to run from sin, and then blessed him for his obedience! Remember that the next time you see sin coming . . . and RUN!!!
In His love and service,
Your friend and co-laborer in His work,
Bill Keller
