***Personal Message For You From Bill Keller***

I really need your prayers and help today! We are down to the final $40,000 of our February shortfall. $10,000 of that shortfall is critically past due and is required ASAP. $20,000 is needed TODAY, leaving the final $10,000 of February’s operations to be cleared up Tuesday!

I am praying for one or two of our friends the Lord has blessed to be able to help me with a special one-time gift and others to give as you are able to give so we can cover these critical amounts to have February taken care of as we end March. Please, take some time and pray for the Lord to move on the hearts of those who have the ability to help me at this time to be obedient, and if you are able, seek whatever amount the Lord is putting on your heart at this time.

I deeply appreciate it as we press on towards the prize each day! OUR GOD IS ABLE!

*As people are already starting to receive their tax refunds, many receiving much more than expected due to the Trump tax cuts, please be praying about sending a tithe to God’s work here at Liveprayer to me save souls off of that tax refund! Amen!

***Prayer***

Dear Lord, please help me to live this day honoring You in my thoughts, words, and deeds. Help me this day to live my life pleasing and acceptable to Jesus. Allow me to use my life to help someone else during this day, and be kind to everyone I come across no matter how they may treat me. Let Christ shine through me throughout this day oh Lord, be glorified through my life! In Jesus name I pray...AMEN!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

More people that ever who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ are buying into the universalistic lie from hell that even if a person rejects faith in Christ, God will still “let them in Heaven!” This is a most dangerous lie since it completely negates God's one and only plan of Salvation. Even more egregious, it literally makes the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ completely unnecessary! Thank about this for a second. If a person can make it to Heaven apart from Christ's finished work on the cross, than his death as the perfect one-time sacrifice for the sins of all mankind was really meaningless. Faith in Christ to be saved isn't required. It is a most damnable lie. It is the lie promoted by every new age guru like Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Eckerd Tolle, and a host of others who Oprah exploited in the last years of her TV program. 15 years ago, I was one of the only people in the secular media challenging Oprah on this lie she was telling to her vast audience. Sadly today, that lie is alive and well not just in the new age circles, but due to the watered down preaching in many Christian churches, amongst born-again Believers as well!

***March Financial Update***

In the final days of March, so far we have covered the first $15,000 of our February shortfall leaving the final $40,000. That along with the $55,000 we require for our March ministry operations leaves a total of $95,000 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!

Stocks! A great way to help Liveprayer is by donating stock. The transfer can be made in a way you get the full credit for your donation without having to pay any of the taxes you normally would on gains your stocks may have enjoyed. Contact me for information about this incredible way to help God's work here at Liveprayer: bkeller@liveprayer.com

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

Every year at this time, I get inundated with emails that read like doctrinal dissertations on why a Christian should NOT celebrate Easter. They mostly come from cults, but also from some Christian groups, primarily Messianic congregations that in recent years have been hijacked by Gentiles and preach and teach a very legalistic doctrine focused solely on the Old Testament. For the record, Passover is a Jewish Feast and NOT a Christian celebration. Jesus became the "perfect one-time sacrifice" for the sins of mankind.

These groups make arguments about the pagan roots of Easter, the evils of Easter eggs, the satanic nature of the Easter bunny, and many other reasons why a Christian should not celebrate Easter. To those people I have only one thing to say, "You have sadly missed the point of this special time of year!!!" Listen, everyone knows that the word Easter is not in the Bible (actually Easter is in the KJV, but is an incorrect translation of the Greek word that should say Passover) and originates from the pagan goddess Eostre. Do we stop using the names for the days of the week and months of the year because they also have pagan roots.

I have yet to meet anyone who worshiped an Easter egg, only ate them. If you are old enough to be able to read this, you are old enough to know that there is no Easter Bunny. These are simply symbols that the world uses in regard to this holiday. There is only ONE REASON a Christian celebrates Easter, and that is to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! One easy solution to those offended by the word "Easter" is to simply call Easter Sunday, Resurrection Day!

Christians SHOULD celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus! It is right and good that we take time each year to remember this blessed event. It is a well-documented, historical event chronicled in all four Gospels and supported by the historians of that day. It is easily the GREATEST EVENT IN HUMAN HISTORY! Think about it. God Himself, the Creator of the heavens and earth, came to this earth as a mere man to live with His creation.

He came as a baby, born of a virgin in a humble manger in an obscure little town. He would grow up to die on a cross as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all mankind. Three days after His death, God would raise Him from the dead as a sign to this lost and unbelieving world that He was exactly who He claimed to be-the SON OF GOD!!! His life would literally transform the lives of every man, woman, and child for the rest of human history. THAT is why we celebrate Easter. THAT is why, as Christians, we MUST celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord.

I love you and care about you so much. I realize that most people who say not to celebrate Easter mean well and are trying to live their lives in a way pleasing and acceptable to God. But they have missed the point of Easter. Easter is about only one thing, celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus. It is one of those times of the year that we gather with family and friends and share our faith in Christ.

Easter is also VERY BIBLICAL. All four Gospels gives us the account of the very first Easter. Now, some 2,000 years later, we will set aside time this Sunday to celebrate the day that God raised our Lord from the dead.

I pray today that you will never forget what Easter is really about and why we celebrate this day. Of course, anything that the world gets involved with becomes perverted. The world has taken this sacred time of the year and turned it into a time of commerce. We must never allow ourselves to get so caught up in the commercialism of the Easter season, to forget what it is about . . . a time to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus.

THAT is what Easter is really about, and THAT is why, as Christians, we MUST celebrate the greatest event in human history! Prepare to have a most blessed and special Resurrection Day this coming Sunday!!!

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Bill Keller
