***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***
As we are 5 days into the conflict in Iran, so far we have had great success in this complicated mission. In addition to the death of the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, layers of the top potential theocratic successors as well as political and military leaders have also been killed. As I stated in my initial comments this past Saturday, the two biggest problems will be who rises up to lead Iran and for us to not get bogged down as happened in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Never forget that this Iran problem didn’t just start but has been a global problem for the last 47 years since the overthrow of the Shah during the Carter Administration. 7 US Presidents have inherited this Iran problem and have not been able to solve it. President Obama actually made the problem much worse by appeasing the Iranian leadership with a pathetic deal that would have allowed Iran to attain nukes that even the Democrats in Congress rejected. Oh, and don’t forget as part of the deal Obama gave them $1.7 BILLION US DOLLARS IN CASH!
During President Trump’s first term he immediately ended the insane Obama JCPOA deal and put crushing financial sanctions on the government to force them to end their nuclear program. After the 2020 election was stolen, the illegitimate Biden Administration that was literally being run by Obama. They immediately removed the Trump financial sanctions freeing up tens of billions of dollars that Iran used to fund their various terror proxies in the region. The October 2023 terror attack by Hamas in Israel would have never been possible without the Biden Administrations help!!!
Last June the current Trump Administration devastated Iran’s nuclear facilities in an incredible military mission. However, in recent negotiations Iran claimed to have stored enough enriched uranium for 11 nukes. Despite efforts by the Trump Administration to find a diplomatic answer to the Iran problem, it was clear that Iran was not negotiating in good faith which led to the joint attack this past weekend by the US and Israeli military to take care of the Iran problem once and for all rather than kicking the can down the road as past Presidents have!
By the grace of God so far the US has only lost 6 of our brave soldiers as of Wednesday afternoon. We pray for our heroes defending the country and seeking to rid the world of this satanically inspired scourge. Sadly Israel has lost soldiers in the conflict. Many innocent civilians in the Middle East have lost their lives, including those in Iran. We pray today for a successful and quick end to the conflict with minimal loss of life.
Layers of Iranian leaders, theocratic, political, and military have been killed. So we still are dealing with a big unknown of who will lead Iran in the future. While I know President Trump is looking for someone to work with like he did in Venezuela, the problem with Iran is their leaders are maniacal theocrats who are led by their satanic religious beliefs and not reasonable political and financial goals. This makes dealing with whoever ends up leading Iran still a very difficult situation.
It would be great if the 90 million people of Iran to rise up and lead the country in a normal fashion, but there is no 2nd amendment in Iran and the people are NOT armed. So whoever controls the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, the military, controls the country. Please be praying that God will allow someone to rise to lead Iran that the United States, Israel, and those Middle Eastern countries can work with in the future.
So far we have had great success in these opening days of this conflict. The Iran navy and air force no longer exist. The United States and Israel are only days from having total control of the skies. So be praying that we can bring an end to this conflict quickly and for there to be peace in Iran, Israel, and the Middle East for one of the few times in the last 5,000 years! AMEN!

***March Financial Update***
Praise the Lord! Thanks to the prayers and sacrifices of many in the Liveprayer family, we have covered the balance of our January shortfall. Amen! That means we can begin to work on the $55,000 we required during February and the $55,000 we will require during March. That is $110,000 to end March with all of our finances current. OUR GOD IS ABLE!
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."
To give a gift to Liveprayer you can use your major credit card at: http://liveprayer.com/donate.cfm or you can mail your gift to: Liveprayer, 6662 46th Ave. North, St. Petersburg, FL 33709. All gifts to Liveprayer are 100% tax deductible!

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!
Live on after you are in Heaven!!! By remembering God's work here at Liveprayer in your will/estate planning, you can still help me share His Truth with the masses, be here for people in their time of greatest need, and help lead the lost to faith in Jesus even after God has called you home!!! God has led many of our friends in the Liveprayer family to remember His work here in their will. Please pray about this opportunity to continue and partner with me in the Lord's work at Liveprayer, even after you are enjoying your rewards and the eternal peace of Heaven! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me at: bkeller@liveprayer.com
On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho the LORD said to Moses, "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'When you cross the Jordan into Canaan, drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you. Destroy all their carved images and their cast idols, and demolish all their high places. Take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess. Distribute the land by lot, according to your clans. To a larger group give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group a smaller one. Whatever falls to them by lot will be theirs. Distribute it according to your ancestral tribes. " 'But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will give you trouble in the land where you will live. And then I will do to you what I plan to do to them.'" - (Numbers 33:50-56)
God's Word is full of His precious promises. They are the words we cling to in our time of need, knowing they are true. God's Word is also full of His warnings. I want to share with you today that the warnings in the Bible are just as true as the promises. We often like to ignore or skip over the warnings, but they are there to alert us to danger, to protect us. Today, I want to share with you a warning from the Word today found in the 33rd Chapter of Numbers. It is a warning for YOU today to drive out the sin in your life!
This passage of Scripture is actually a command from God to the children of Israel. He commanded them to drive out the inhabitants from the Promised Land and to destroy all of their carved images, idols, and high places. Why? The children of Israel had just been in the wilderness for 40 years after leaving Egypt. They were spiritually "weak." God knew they were not strong enough to co-exist with the unGodly inhabitants in the land and commanded His children to "Drive them out."
This is a good lesson for new Believers. A person who comes to the Lord must be discipled, be accountable to an older man or woman of the faith who can help guide them in their journey of faith. It is critical for a new Believer to read and study the Bible, pray, be part of a solid Bible preaching and teaching church where they can be spiritually fed, and to fellowship with other Believers who can help them to grow as a follower of Christ.
God also instructed them to destroy the carved images, the idols, and the high places. These all represented Israel's past sins. God was telling the children of Israel that the things standing between them and God had to go. The same is true in your life. The Bible tells us that He is a "jealous God." If you have a lust problem, destroy your pornographic magazines and tapes. If you have a problem with alcohol, pour the booze down the drain. if you have a problem dabbling in the occult, burn your Ouija board, tarot cards, and horoscope books. God has no desire to coexist with the sin in your life!
After the commandment God gives His children the warning. In Verse 55 God says, "But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will give you trouble in the land where you will live." He goes in in verse 56 to say, "And then I will do to you what I plan to do to them." God was giving the children of Israel a clear warning about getting rid of the sin in their life. God is giving YOU that same warning today!
The question becomes, how bad do we want the sin out of our life?
When someone comes to me and asks me to pray for them to be delivered, I ask them point blank if they really want to be delivered. That may sound like a stupid question, but it really isn't. Do you know there are some people who really don't want to be healed because it means their check each month will stop coming? Do you know there are drug addicts and alcoholics who really don't want to be delivered because that would mean they could no longer get high or go out drinking?
Do you know I deal every day with people in bondage to gluttony, lust, smoking, gossiping, gambling, homosexuality, who deep down really don't want God to deliver them because they love their sin so much. You may think I am being really insensitive, but let me ask you, how insensitive was it for Jesus to have to go and be nailed to the cross, bleed and die to break the bondage of drugs, to break the bondage of alcohol, to break the bondage of gluttony, lust, smoking, gossiping, gambling, homosexuality, and every other sin you can name?
God is warning you today to get rid of the sin in your life. Drive it out! The Bible says, "Resist the devil and he will flee from you!" That doesn't mean you can invite him over once in a while and reminisce about old times! Resist means to have nothing to do this him. Period!
I love you and care about you so much. God has clearly commanded us in His Word to drive our the sin in our life and destroy anything that has to do with that sin. He warned us that if we don't, our sin will be a constant problem in our life. The sad fact is, too many have learned how to co-exist with the sin in their life rather than drive it out once and for all. Their response is that if God wants to take that away He will. WRONG!!! God already took it away when He sent Jesus to die on the cross. SIN IS DEAD! It is only alive in you because you let it live!!!!
I tell you often, God can't and won't bless sin. God blesses righteousness! My word for you today is that it is time to get serious about the sin in your life. Heed the Word of God and drive it out once and for all and destroy everything to do with that sin. God wants to bless you today, bless you above and beyond all you can ask or think. The choice is yours. Do you want your sin or do you want God? Heed this warning from God to you today and drive out your enemies!!!!
In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
