***Personal Message For You From Bill Keller***
Bask in the JOY of Christmas today and each day for the rest of this year and during 2026! AMEN!
I need your help in these final days of 2025! Praise the Lord! We have cleared up the balance of October and in these final days of the year, need to take care of the $55,000 from November’s ministry operations and the $55,000 we will require for December or $110,000 over the final 10 days of December to end the year with all of our ministry operations current.
I am praying for 3 friends who God has blessed and enabled to help me with a special year end gift of $15,000, and for everyone else to give as you are able to cover the final $65,000! OUR GOD IS ABLE!!!
With only a few weeks until the end of 2025, please be praying about a special year-end gift to Livprayer! For many, a gift to God's work here will help on your taxes since you are either going to give the money to the government to waste, or to Liveprayer to get HIS Truth out to the masses and save souls!!! To give a gift to Liveprayer: http://liveprayer.com/donate.cfm
By the way I have been seeking the Lord since the start of this year for God to lead someone He has blessed richly to make a legacy gift of $15,000,000 to Liveprayer. That would insure that when God decides to call me home Liveprayer will continue to impact lives and lead lost souls to faith in Jesus for a minimum of 20 years. Please stand in agreement with me for the Lord to raise up that person!
***Daily Personal Prayer For You***
Dear Lord, thank You for giving me another day of life. Use me like you did those shepherds on the first Christmas to bring glory and honor to You! You are the Creator, the giver of life. Never let me take even one day, one hour, for granted. Use me this day to bless those I come in contact with, to share with them the real reason for this season, and that You may be glorified! In the name of Jesus I pray. AMEN!!!
***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***
I have a very short and succinct word for you today. Christmas is in a few days away as we wind down the final days of 20205. I want to ask you to do one thing today. Take 10 minutes, get alone by yourself, and ask God what HE wants you to accomplish in your spiritual life during 2026. Each person is at a different place in their walk with the Lord, on a different rung of the spiritual ladder. By the way, there are ALWAYS more rungs above as long as we are on this brief journey through life.
Sit down with a piece of paper and put today's date on it, Monday December 22, 2025. Now, listen to God as He speaks to you. God isn't going to ask you to do things you aren't able to accomplish. He will challenge you though! Write down the one, two, three, maybe four things you hear God speaking to you about in your spiritual life during this new year.
Now the most important part. Write these words...I PROMISE YOU GOD...then sign it and date it! THAT PIECE OF PAPER GOES IN YOUR WALLET OR PURSE, OR ON YOUR BATHROOM MIRROR, OR MAYBE BECOMES THE BOOKMARK FOR YOUR BIBLE. THE KEY IS TO FORCE YOURSELF TO SEE THAT PAPER, THAT PROMISE TO GOD EACH AND EVERY DAY.
Lastly, don't be intimidated by this challenge, and don't be afraid of it. The natural fear is “what if I don't succeed in what I am setting out to do?” FEAR HAS NO PART IN THE LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN! God will use your focused effort throughout the year so when the next New Year's comes around in 12 months you will be able to look back and see all that you accomplished in your spiritual life during 2026. THE LORD WILL MAKE YOU ADEQUATE EACH DAY AND BLESS YOUR EFFORTS ABOVE AND BEYOND ALL YOU CAN IMAGINE! Know I will be praying for you!!!

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."

Be like the shepherds on that first Christmas! I was taught very early in life that you can learn much by watching people. In the day Jesus was born, a shepherd was the equivalent of a busboy or dishwasher in today's society. It was a very lowly position and these were not the type of people that you would think to look at as role models. Let me remind you that you can never judge a person by the house they live in, the car they drive, or the job they hold. It is our heart God sees and judges.
The shepherds on the night Jesus was born must have been pretty important men in the eyes of God because it was to those men, that He revealed the birth of His son in Bethlehem's manger that night. While there are many great spiritual lessons that you can learn from the shepherds, the one I want to focus on today is their conduct after they had visited the manger and saw with their own eyes the baby Jesus.
The scripture reference today tells us that they left praising God for all they had seen and were shown. Praising God. I have talked about this many times in the past, and will continue to talk about it because it is one element of our faith that we just don't practice enough. So much of our prayer time, so much of our focus is on our problems and circumstances, that we often forget to spend time each day just thanking and praising God for all that He does for us each and every day.
In the beginning days of Liveprayer over 26 years ago, a lady in Baltimore, Maryland emailed a request for God to restore her marriage. Her husband had left her for another woman. Within 3 weeks the husband had come home, recommitted his life to Christ, and they were in Christian counseling to work out their problems. For those of you today with marriage problems, God is still in the restoration business.
A man in Newark, New Jersey requested prayer the day before open heart surgery. He emailed us a week later telling us all had gone well and the doctors told him he would make a full and complete recovery. For those battling health problems today, God is still in the healing business.
A single mother of 4 in St. Louis asked us for prayer after she lost her job. 2 weeks later God had given her a better job, with more money. For those of you in need of a financial blessing today, God is still in the business of providing for His children.
On the 5th day after we started Liveprayer, our prayer partner on the live video feed was praying for a person as they accepted Christ as Savior. The next day an email came in from Hong Kong from a man who had lost his business, was thinking of suicide, and somehow logged on to our site. As the prayer partner was leading the person in the sinner's prayer, this man in Hong Kong prayed to accept Jesus too.
God is still in the business of saving souls! Every day we get incredible praise reports of how God has touched lives and worked miracles in thousands of people who have visited Liveprayer during a time of great need in their life. God is no respecter of person, what He did for someone else He will do for you!
I want to encourage you today to learn from the shepherds and never neglect to thank God for all He does for you each and every day. Blessings that you take for granted. It is through your praise, through you telling others all that God has done for you, that they might increase their faith to allow God to work in their life. Your praise report gives others going through the same situation the hope and strength to go on, trusting God for their miracle.
Hope is the greatest gift you can give to another person, and our hope is in Jesus Christ!!!
I love you and care about you so much. I pray today that you will not forget to give God the praise He deserves each and every day. I appreciate more than you can know the praise reports that we get every day because that keeps all of us here at Liveprayer encouraged. God not only hears our prayers, but answers our prayers!
My challenge to you today is to be like the shepherds. God blesses you so that you can share His blessings with others, to encourage them! Be like the shepherds and tell those you meet along the path of your life about this wonderful friend you have named Jesus Christ!
In His love and service,
Your friend and co-laborer in His work,
Bill Keller
