**-*The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

The current war between did NOT start in February of 2022 as you are being told, but in 2014 and it was initially started by the US CIA and State Department led by evil Victoria Nuland! Take the time to read this Daily Devotional that gives you the 11 year history of this current war between Russia and Ukraine that you are not being told, even by the supposed conservative media: https://liveprayer.com/devotional.cfm?id=56295

Here is the Friday TV program where for the first 40 minutes I share all of the critical information from Trump’s summit with Putin in Alaska, and what to expect in the coming days: https://www.facebook.com/liveprayer/videos/1135502675154293/

I am writing this early Saturday morning, and I want to share with you my raw notes about the aftermath of the Trump/Putin Alaska summit so you have a clear understanding of what is really happening, truth you are sadly not hearing in the corporate media and even in the bulk of the conservative media.

-Understand that most of the EU countries are pro-war. So it was not surprising very early in the US Saturday morning the EU began to leak details of Trump’s meeting with Putin in Alaska. Their overall response was to minimize what President Trump did in Alaska and to start the pressure campaign that a peace deal MUST include security guarantees and money for Ukrainian reconstruction. Security guarantees means NATO troops on the ground in Ukraine to protect them from a future Russian invasion. More specifically it means UNITED STATES troops on the ground in Ukraine. Money for Ukraine reconstruction means BILLIONS MORE US TAX DOLLARS to one of the most corrupt countries in the world, a black hole we have already poured $250 billion into!

-As I predicted on the program Friday night, the CIA and Euro intel puppet Zelenskyy was in the media Saturday morning with his list of demands in response to the Trump/Putin Alaska summit. Shock, he wants NATO troops to defend Ukraine in the future, unlimited billions of dollars, and military hardware. It is also reported he will be going to the White House Monday to meet with President Trump. I have long contended that as long as this intel puppet is in place, there will NEVER be a peace deal!

-People need to understand that the security guarantees being spoken of is in essence NATO troops, led by the US, protecting Ukraine in the future even though Ukraine is not a NATO country. Ukraine becoming a NATO country was the issue the US CIA and State Department used to goad Russian into escalating the war in the Dombas in February of 2022.

-All day Friday, Saturday morning, and no doubt throughout the rest of the weekend and into Monday the US corporate media lambasted Trump for being a failure and for sucking up to Putin. “Fang Fang” Swalwell who has criminal liability for being one of Schiff’s leakers of classified information to the media even brought out the thoroughly debunked “Trump is a Russian asset” trope. In the lead-up to the Alaska summit, the media was clearly rooting for failure. They were rooting for more people to die needlessly rather than support President Trump’s peace efforts. Truly disgusting and evil people.

-The fact is nothing Trump can do will be acceptable to his detractors. The war pigs in the US Congress, military industrial complex, CIA and State Dept., leading many European countries and their intel agencies, all DO NOT want peace. War is big business!

-I have been on record since Trump was elected, if he could negotiate a quick peace deal that would be great. If not, WALK AWAY! This is not his war, it belongs to rogue elements of our CIA, State Department, and the incompetent clowns of the Biden Administration led by brain dead Joe Biden himself. Not another penny, not another bullet, a complete withdraw of ALL US operations and personal. Let Europe figure it out! This is literally an all or nothing proposition. Just like nobody is a little pregnant, we can’t stay involved just a little. We are either in or out. THE GOAL OF THE GLOBALISTS AND WAR PIGS IN THE US AND EUROPE IS TO SUCK US IN SO WE CAN’T GET OUT!

I understand that Trump would take a huge pounding politically, but those who support his America First policies will have his back. The fact is, this is probably the only way there will ever be peace. If the US does a complete pull out of everything in Ukraine, Europe who has pushed this war has neither the money nor the manpower to help Ukraine in any meaningful way. They are useless without the US. By the way, Ukraine is NOT a NATO country, so our pulling out has zero to do with NATO even tho we will be accused of abandoning NATO. Those who keep saying that Putin wants Ukraine so he can take the rest of Europe are huge liars. Putin neither has the money or the manpower to invade Western Europe and is not looking to go to war with NATO, that is simply fear mongering. So without the US, with Europe providing no real help, Ukraine will be a sitting duck for Russia. Recent polling shows 75% of Ukrainians want the war over and do not support Zelenskyy. With the world abandoning Ukraine the people will immediately rise up, they will remove Zelesnkyy, and whoever he is replaced with will agree to a peace deal brokered most likely by President Trump in the first 24 hours.

-Pray to the Lord today to bring peace between Ukraine and Russia and for the killing to stop.

***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."

I realize that many of my Devotionals deal with husbands and wives, parents and children. I also realize that many of you are not married at the present time. In our society, you are almost looked down on if you are not married or involved in a relationship with someone. Many people feel like something is wrong with them if they are single. Being single is okay!

Whether you are single because of a divorce, your spouse has died, or you have never married, IT IS OK. The point I want to share with you today is to be patient. I can assure you, 99% of the relationship problems I deal with each and every day can be traced back to people who were impatient, good people who jumped into relationships outside of God's timing and ended up paying a big price. I realize that loneliness will cause you to make poor decisions, but you have got to understand the consequences of those decisions.

The number one problem in relationships is that there is no spiritual base. While money, communication, and other issues are the most popular reasons for problems, I assure you the lack of a spiritual base in the relationship is the reason these other problems exist. Not having a secure spiritual base is why God said not to be unequally yoked. He knew without that base, the relationship could never survive.

The base starts with the personal walk each person has with the Lord. It is then solidified by both people bringing their faith together as one. The Bible talks of the man being the spiritual head of his home. It is important for a man to take this job seriously and be the priest in his home. It is his responsibility to help merge his faith and that of his potential wife. Praying together. Reading the Word together. Serving the Lord together. These are all ways for two people to lay a solid and secure spiritual base. Let me tell you this.

WITHOUT A SPIRITUAL BASE, NO RELATIONSHIP WILL LAST OR HAVE ANY LONG-TERM SIGNIFICANCE.

While I realize finding someone physically attractive, someone with a nice personality, someone with a good job may all be criteria in finding a mate, but if you do not focus first on the spiritual side of the relationship, it is doomed. I want to tell you now, without hesitation. The reason for the high divorce rate amongst the people of God is because there is NO spiritual base in the relationship. This is why patience is critical.

While the downside to being single is loneliness, the upside is it allows you to grow and develop a real walk with Christ. It also gives you the power over what relationships you will enter into. There is a power in the fact you have choices you can make. Be picky. Be patient. You do not have to find someone today. This is where your faith and trust in God becomes important as well. He knows your needs and desires. Trust Him. Have faith in Him that He is going to bring the right person into your life.

It hurts me to know many of you are hurting from the loneliness of being single. I pray that today you will refocus on your walk with the Lord. I pray you will realize there is nothing wrong with being single. I pray you will know that God understands your needs and desires, and He will bring the right person into your life. I will add that, like everything, it is a combination of God's sovereign will and our responsibility.

You cannot expect to sit in the house and wait for the Lord to send the right person knocking at your door. Like all battles, you need a game plan, and you need to be faithfully executing the plan each day to see victory. My emphasis today, though, is that as you are out looking for a mate, remember that unless your relationship has a spiritual base to it, it will not last.

Being single is okay. Use the time to solidify your walk with Christ. Be patient. Never forget that the Lord loves you and will bring the right person into your life. rust Him and wait on His perfect timing!

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,
