Revered Bible teacher J. Vernon McGee said, "When you read the newspaper, open your Bible."

The truth about Joe Kent, military hero, Gold Star father of 2 young boys, and the former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center under ODNI Tulsi Gabbard who publicly resigned this week. Let me start out by stating the FACT that Joe Kent is a decorated war hero having served 20-years as a member of the US Army Special Forces (Green Beret) that included 11 combat deployments in Iraq, Yemen, and North Africa, earning several military awards including 6 Bronze Stars. Joe Kent is also a Gold Star husband. His first wife Shannon Kent was killed in an ISIS suicide bombing in Syria in 2019.

Kent unsuccessfully ran for the House twice in his home state of Washington as a strong representative of the MAGA movement. He lost both races in 2022 and 2024 to the Democrat incumbent Marie Gluesenkamp Perez. So it was not a shock when he joined the current Trump Administration in a critical Senate confirmed role as the Director of the Counterterrorism Center.

This week Kent publicly resigned from that position to protest the US war against Iran that he claimed was not an imminent threat to the country and went against President Trump’s America First policies. For the record, Kent was left out of the intelligence loop in the lead up to the war in Iran since he was suspected of leaking classified information. In his resignation letter that he posted publicly on his X account, Kent stated that the war was being driven by pressure from Israel and its powerful US lobby.

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS VEHEMENTLY DENIED THESE ACCUSATIONS AND ANYONE WHO UNDERSTANDS DONALD TRUMP UNDERSTANDS THAT HE WILL NEVER BE PRESSURED INTO ANYTHING HE BELIEVES IS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COUNTRY. IN FACT, IT IS TRUMP WHO USES THE LEVEREDGE OF THE UNITED STATES AND HIS POSITION AS PRESIDENT TO PRESSURE OTHERS! THIS IS A FALSE NARRATIVE THAT IS BEING PUSHED BY THE POWERFUL ANTI-ISRAEL LOBBY IN THE UNITED STATES AND AROUND THE WORLD THAT HAVE VIRTUALLY UNLIMITED RESOURCES TO PROMOTE THEIR ANTI-SEMITIC BELIEFS!

When Kent’s resignation went public early this week, I found it very odd since again he had been a huge supporter of the President and the MAGA movement. Just as important is the fact that a very basic review of Kent’s X account shows that not long ago he was very outspoken about the dangers of Iran to the rest of the world. So this 180 degree turn just didn’t make any sense.

Than it began to be reported that Kent was being investigated for leaking classified information. A day after his resignation, word began to get out that in fact Kent was the target of an FBI investigation for leaking classified information, specifically to “podtainer” Tucker Carlson who has been an outspoken critic of Israel and pushing his belief with ZERO evidence that US foreign policy is being shaped by Israel. This plays well in the growing number of people in the US and around the world who are anti-semites!

It is alleged that the well-financed anti-Israel lobby has bought "podtainers" with large audiences like Tucker, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and others. I am certain pushing a political narrative pays much better than pimping dog food, gold, beef, pills that cures whatever ails you, or whatever else they are paid to sell to their listeners. For the record, it is alleged and makes perfect sense that the pro-Israel "podtainers" like Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, and others on their side of this issue have also paid well to promote a pro-Israel narrative.

Sadly, over the last decade as real journalism self-destructed, it opened the door for this new industry where millions of people are getting their information from totally unqualified people being paid to push a certain narrative, or those who actually do have a legitimate resume of accomplishment who push their agenda without anyone being able to challenge them just like what they do on MSNBC.

For transparency I am not only qualified from an educational standpoint, but from my 34 years of preaching the Word of God and ministering daily to millions worldwide. I am very up front and clear that without shame or compromise I promote 2,000 years of basic Christian orthodoxy based not on my opinions but on the Absolute Truth found in God’s Word. Nobody pays me to promote the Truth of the Bible. I have no sponsors or advertisers, I don’t sell books or make money doing tours of Israel or any other commercial venture. I have NEVER been part of the Christian TV grift fleecing Believers, preaching instead to the lost masses outside of the four walls of the church. I do what I have done with my life literally 24/7 365 for the last 34 years because it is what God has called me to do and I have literally trusted Him to take care of my daily needs!

Last week out of the blue, Carlson claimed the CIA was reading his text messages and he was probably going to face a criminal indictment. He was clearly trying to get out in front of something he was aware of. Carlson had been trying to set up interviews with top members of the Iranian government. As we are at war with Iran, it would make perfect sense if anyone, especially a high profile person like Carlson was trying to communicate with the Iranian government, the CIA would be aware of such communication. How he jumped to the conclusion that this meant he was looking at possibly being criminally indicted seemed like paranoia.

However, this is all making sense now. Kent was illegally leaking classified information to Tucker and based on his intelligence background figured that the FBI was investigating him. Tucker knew he was on the receiving end of Kent’s classified leaks and that could put him in the cross hairs of the CIA and possibly DOJ. So they were BOTH trying to get ahead of what they assumed was coming from the government. By the way, less than 24 hours after he resigned, Kent appeared on...wait for it....TUCKER CARLSON’S PODCAST! During that interview they both were pushing the narrative that this war with Iran was totally unnecessary and only happening because Israel PM Bibi Netanyahu was telling President Trump what to do. Pure unadulterated nonsense!

Let me remind you of a man whose name has gone down in history as one of the nation’s most infamous traitors, Benedict Arnold. Arnold was considered a top American war hero, one of the Continental Army’s most brilliant and brave battlefield leaders. He played a crucial role in early victories including the capture of Ft. Ticonderoga and the attack on Quebec in 1775, and the Battle of Saratoga in 1777. Arnold was known to fight aggressively and sustained numerous injuries in war.

In 1780 General Washington named Arnold the Commander of the American fort at West Point. Soon after he betrayed his country by plotting to surrender the strategic Hudson Valley to the British in exchange for $10,000 and a commission in the British military. Ironically, this traitor to his country Benedict Arnold died on June 14, 1801, the date that President Woodrow Wilson would proclaim in 1916 that June 14th would be celebrated as Flag Day. More irony, June 14th is also the birthday of President Donald J. Trump. Arnold died in London in obscurity and in significant debt after numerous failed business ventures.

Time will tell whether Joe Kent is guilty of betraying his country and whatever role Tucker Carlson may have played. In the meantime, globalist forces have managed to finally accomplish something they couldn’t over the last 10 years, and that is to fracture the MAGA/America First base. It will take a miracle of God to hold the House and Senate this November based on the history of mid-term elections. It is critical that just like in the November 2024 election there is maximum turnout for Republican candidates, if this fracture is not repaired and quickly there is virtually no human chance of holding the House and Senate that will lead to the irreparable damage of our nation. Pray!!!

***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. So far we have covered the first $10,000 of our February shortfall leaving the final $45,000. That is $100,000 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."

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

This is a question I get asked often and really puts to the test the words of Jesus, “That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” The answer is YES, Adolph Hitler could be in Heaven. If it is impossible for Hitler to be in Heaven, then it is impossible for you and I to be in Heaven. You see my friend, Jesus died for the sins of ALL mankind. He died for the sins of Adolph Hitler just like He died for the sins of you and me.

If you ask me to speculate on whether Hitler IS in Heaven, I would say almost without hesitation that he is not. Adolph Hitler did not worship Jesus Christ, he worshiped himself. If in those last moments prior to his death he got on his knees and asked Christ to forgive him of his sins and invited Him into his heart by faith, then like the thief on the cross he most assuredly would be in Heaven for all eternity.

However, it is clear that this man who could be blamed for the death of the over 40 million people who died during World War II had no faith in anything but himself and power and his heart remained hardened right up to his last breath.

Some people have a very difficult time with that fact. Every family has an Uncle Joe or Aunt Judy who are “good people.” They don’t go to church, they don’t read the Bible, and they really don’t want to hear that “Jesus stuff.” However, they don’t drink, smoke, or do drugs, they pay their taxes, they don’t kick their dog, and they give money every year to different charities. They also help their neighbor or whoever is in need, don’t hurt anybody, and are the kindest, sweetest people you will ever meet. Yet the Bible says that if they die without accepting Christ, they will spend eternity in hell!

Adolph Hitler, one of the world’s most evil monster could have repented and asked Christ into his heart and was saved. However, Uncle Joe or Aunt Judy live good lives helping others but don’t believe in Jesus and they are cast into everlasting darkness. It doesn’t seem right. You see my friend, it is your SIN that separates you from God your Creator. God in His infinite love and mercy made a way for His fallen creation to be reconciled back into an everlasting relationship with Him.

God’s plan to redeem fallen man was to send His Son Jesus Christ to this earth to die as the perfect one-time sacrifice for the sins of the world. That is why it is ONLY faith in Jesus that can save you, since it was ONLY Jesus who died for your sins.

There is no other way for man to be reconciled back to God but through faith in Jesus Christ. You can’t buy your way back to God. There is no amount of good works you can ever do to get back to God. The ONLY way back to God is by putting your faith and trust in Jesus Christ. That is why Uncle Joe or Aunt Judy can live “good” lives but be lost for eternity. It is their sin that keeps them eternally separated from God.

I love you and care about you so much. I want you to hear what I am about to say to you loud and clear. There is nothing that you have ever done that God can’t forgive you for. One of the things I hear often in dealing with the lost is that they have sinned so bad, God could never forgive them. My dear friend, listen to me closely, there is NO SIN, NOTHING, you have ever done that God can’t forgive you for. If you will humble yourself before the Lord, ask Him to forgive you, HE WILL in accordance with the promises in His Word.

One of those great promises is found in 1 John 1:9 where the Bible says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” God’s grace and forgiveness is infinite. His mercy is endless. No matter what you have done, if you will simply go to the Lord right now, ask Him to forgive you, HE WILL!

Could Adolph Hitler be in Heaven? If he would have confessed his sins to God, asked God to forgive him, and invited Jesus Christ into his heart and life by faith, YES! Can YOU be saved? If you confess your sins to God, ask God to forgive you, and invite Jesus Christ into your heart and life by faith, YES!

If you have never done that before, or you don’t have the assurance that if you died you would be forever with the Lord, take a moment right now, pray and ask God to open your heart and read the words at this link: http://www.liveprayer.com/plan.cfm

If you have a family member, co-worker, neighbor, friend who has never confessed Christ as their personal Savior by faith...share this Devotional with them. Over our 26+ years online there are over 3.1 million souls we know of who have come to faith in Christ. Many made that decision when someone in the Liveprayer family shared a word like today!

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Bill Keller
