DAILY DEVOTIONAL FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 18, 2026
(Matthew 24: 6-8, 36, Psalms 90:4)
***Personal Message For You From Bill Keller***
Jesus loves you and it is His good pleasure to bless you richly today!
General George Washington fought the most powerful military in the world of his day for American independence. He had many challenges including an untrained army. One challenge he faced every day for the entirety of the war against the British was MONEY! Yet along the way, even when he didn’t have a penny, Washington trusted the Lord to provide....and He did!!! God honored Washington’s faith and allowed him to be victorious!
GOD IS GREAT! Thank You to all who have been praying, and those making the sacrifice to help me dig out of this hole we got into over the slow summer months. We are down to the final $40k from our July shortfall, and the $55k from our August ministry operations.
I NEED YOUR HELP TODAY! My focus is clearing up that final $40k from July that is seriously past due. That would take the immediate pressure off and if we can clear that up in the next week, it still gives us the final week of September to begin working on the $55k August budget. GOD IS ABLE!!!
*We require $15,000 IMMEDIATELY.......and the other $25,000 this coming Monday! I am asking 2 people to pray about helping me with a special one-time gift of $20,000, or one who the Lord has blessed to help me with the full $40,000!!!
With your prayers and faithful sacrifices, it will insure we will continue to be a bold, visible voice for God’s Truth and the hope we have in Jesus on the front lines battling satan for the eternal souls of men!
***Prayer***
Dear Lord, thank You today for making me rich beyond anything this world can offer. Because of Your love, I can have a peace, joy, and abundance that you can't put a price tag on. I am the child of a KING with a rich inheritance worth more than all of the wealth of this world multiplied by 1000! Most of all, thank You for dying for my sins so that I can spend eternity with You in a mansion You have prepared for me on streets of gold. Hallelujah! In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!!!
***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***
Some things just never change, like man’s desire for power and wealth! One of the great ways powerful men and politicians look to gain wealth and power is by fearmongering the population to control them. This is NOT new, it has been used since the beginning of mankind! Here we go again, this time it is the fear that AI will become autonomous and kill every living person on the planet that is being used by a few powerful men and politicians!
In the 50s, in the aftermath of World War 2, it was the fear of a nuclear war with the Russians used to fearmonger the population. In 1999 just months after Liveprayer began 27 years ago, it was Y2k. Do not miss today’s Daily Devotional below that were the actual Daily Devotionals I sent in the final days of 1999 regarding the hysteria of Y2K. They told us at midnight as 12/31/99 turned into 1/1/2000, computers around the world would fail since they were not set to deal with the changing of the millennia. Planes would fall out of the sky, bank accounts would be wiped out, your water and power would cease to work, and on and on as computers worldwide would fail. NOTHING HAPPENED!
In the 1990s the fearmongering began due to global warming, than global cooling, than just plain climate change. That issue has been used for the last 3 decades to scare people despite the FACT the computer model climate change was based on has been debunked for decades by the creator of that model! Trillions of dollars have been burned up destroying the economies of individuals, businesses, and nations all over the world based on this lie!
The climate doomers have told me for decades now Florida, where I have lived since 1993 would be under the Atlantic Ocean! Like the fools who tell you the exact date and time Jesus will return, despite the fact the Bible clearly teaches, “NO MAN KNOWS THE MOMENT OR HOUR BUT THE FATHER,” climate hoaxers like Al Gore, John Kerry, and clowns like AOC have falsely claimed the world would end due to climate change for several decades now! Control the people with fear for power and money!
Probably the most successful fearmongering took place just a few years ago during the COVID outbreak that literally affected to some degree every man, woman, and child on the planet. For those in the Liveprayer family, in the Daily Devotional and on the TV program, virtually from the outset in late January 2020 I did my best to calm their nerves that COVID was nothing more than a bad strain of the seasonal flu.
I also shared almost from day one of the outbreak that the most vulnerable population was the same demographic most susceptible to the seasonal flu that took the lives of apx. 40,000-60,000 a year in the US, those over 65 and/or with pre-existing medical issues. I lambasted the corporate media outlets, including the conservative ones, who were scaring people with the number of CASES! Case numbers were meaningless, as were hospitalization numbers, unless you were in the critical demographic.
Sadly I watched as apx. 80% of those in the United States buckled under government control at the local, state, and Federal levels. Most disgusting was watching gutless pastors in EVERY STATE surrender their 1st amendment Constitutional right to worship! For over a year, churches all over the nation shuttered with 20% never reopening! Meanwhile, government designated “essential businesses” like bars, liquor stores, and strip joints never closed for a second!
In the aftermath we learned what I was telling the Liveprayer audience in real time as the COVID outbreak was happening was all accurate. The father of the COVID bio-weapon was Dr. Anthony “Mengele” Fauci! He financed the creation of the virus, and when he was forced to stop his gain of function experiments in the US he moved them to the Wuhan Institute of Virology where the CCP released it in late 2019 to help stop President Donald Trump from being re-elected in 2020! MILLIONS WORLDWIDE DIED DUE TO FAUCI AND HE SHOULD STAND TRIAL AT THE HAGUE FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY LIKE TOP NAZIS DID IN THE AFTERMATH OF WW2!
I told the Liveprayer family that COVID came from the lab in Wuhan, China. I warned them about the 6 foot social distancing order being a fabrication without any scientific support. The same for masks, they were simply a control method. The tyrannical lockdowns that destroyed businesses, school age children learning patterns, and the mental health of most of the nation were totally unnecessary. I warned people when the vaccines came out in early 2021 that until we knew more, get several medical opinions and pray hard before you got the COVID vax and subsequent boosters.
Years later we found out that in every case I was correct as were a small minority of respected medical professionals and brave journalists who had their careers and lives destroyed for refusing to parrot the COVID lies and fearmongering. Fauci and Big Pharma who made BILLIONS on COVID, and some still are, lied, obfuscated, and deceived the general public regarding every aspect of the COVID outbreak for...MONEY AND POWER!
Now, just a few years after COVID, here we are again only this time it is regarding AI that one day will kill every human being on the planet! Like the nuke scare, Y2K, climate change, and COVID, the AI fear mongering is about controlling the masses for money and power! The old saying is “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on ME!”
One thing they are correct about, one day every person WILL die. God told us that in the first pages of the Bible. Rather than worrying about being killed by AI, worry about the FACT that we are all sinners and it is our sin that separates us from God our Creator and only faith in Jesus can save our soul for eternity! AMEN!

***September Financial Update***
I NEED YOUR HELP TODAY!!! Liveprayer is at a critical place and is in real danger of having to close down our operations! Please pray about helping me with a special emergency gift at this critical moment as we are on the front lines battling satan for the eternal souls of men!
General George Washington fought the most powerful military in the world of his day for American independence. He had many challenges including an untrained army. One challenge he faced every day for the entirety of the war against the British was MONEY! Yet along the way, even when he didn’t have a penny, Washington trusted the Lord to provide....and He did!!! God honored Washington’s faith and allowed him to be victorious!

*We require $15,000 IMMEDIATELY.......and the other $25,000 Monday! I am asking 2 people to pray about helping me with a special one-time gift of $20,000, or one who the Lord has blessed to help me with the full $40,000!!! OUR GOD IS ABLE!
sATAN IS A LIAR AND A LOSER! AFTER 27 YRS, TENS OF MILLIONS OF LIVES HAVE BEEN IMPACTED FOR CHRIST WORLDWIDE AND OVER 3.3 MILLION SOULS WE KNOW HAVE COME TO FAITH IN CHRIST!!! $40,000 WILL NOT STOP GOD’S WORK HERE AT LIVEPRAYER!!! NEVER FORGET THAT YOU AND GOD ARE ALWAYS A MAJORITY!!!
Please be praying if you have sold some property, a business, had a financial windfall of some sort but haven’t tithed on that windfall, please pray about planting that seed in the proven good soil of Liveprayer at this critical time! There are a few the Lord is speaking to who HE has blessed and enabled to step up at this critical moment and help me with a significant gift! Everyone can pray, and most can make a sacrifice as the Lord purposes in your heart whether that is $10, $50, $100, or more!
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!

(From the Liveprayer Daily Devotional 12/31/1999 about the “doom and gloom” fearmongering regarding Y2K, just 4 months after we started 27 years ago!)
Personally, I will be glad when tonight is over, the year 2000 is here, and the incredible hype is behind us. As one who loves the Scriptures, I have actually found it amusing as I watched the doom and gloomers manipulating people with their Y2K scenarios. It is actually disgusting to watch many fine men and women of God utilize the fear many have surrounding this date to profit from a nonevent.
I will not argue that man’s invention of the computer has a very real problem with the change from 1999 to 2000. But to take this problem and extrapolate it into the natural fear many have, and then play on that fear to make money is very distasteful. I came to a scriptural stance on this issue a long time ago and frankly have not even paid much attention since. The scriptures teach that God is not bound by the time limitations we use to guide our lives. We have manufactured a system to track time in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years.
God didn’t manufacture that system...man did.
So, right off the bat, you have got to understand that anything we deal with in relation to time cannot even be factored in when dealing with God. That is why we so urgently need this or that prayer answered within a certain time period. If it is not and seems like God has ignored us or not heard. What you must understand is that God is not bound by our man-made way of tracking time.
Is He sensitive to the need? Yes. Is He aware of the urgency? Yes. But God’s timing is not our timing!
In dealing with the return of Christ and end times, again, the Bible is perfectly clear. It is not even a debatable issue. Jesus emphatically stated that ONLY God knew the date and time. Personally, trying to look thru the Word for clues is an interesting exercise, but really pointless. Instead, I have always tried to learn the lesson Christ taught over and over and God allowed to be recorded many times for emphasis.
Don’t worry about when He will return. Understand it is an event that will happen, and it will happen at a time only God knows. Our job clearly is to be ready for that event. How? By living for Him each day. By serving Him each day. By living every hour like it may be the last before His return. That is what Jesus tried to teach in His earthly ministry. Be prepared. Be prepared by serving God, so when He does return, you will be found faithful.
Other than marking the new year in our man-made way of tracking time, today is another day, a day like every other that should find us faithful to our relationship with the Lord, faithful in our service to Him. I pray that you will have a safe and blessed day and night. Be safe, fear not, because God is on the throne and in control, and above all, make sure that when that incredible moment of Christ’s return does come, you are found faithful in your service to Him.
In His love and service,
Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

(From the Liveprayer Daily Devotional 12/26/1999 about the “doom and gloom” fearmongering regarding Y2K just 4 months after we started, 27 years ago!)
The end times. You don't have to be a Biblical scholar to read the Bible and understand we are in the last days. Many have pointed to this Friday as the start of something big. A few weeks ago, I gave you my analysis of this whole Y2K phenomenon. The bottom line, some minor things will probably be affected, probably in smaller foreign countries, but we will not miss a beat here.
Actually, the greater threat is the opportunity by some extreme terrorist groups to use the occasion to gain publicity for their cause. I have always remembered that the Bible says in many places, no one knows when time, as we know it, will be over except God. That is good enough for me because it is something I cannot control. What I can control is God's admonition to me and you to be busy working for the Kingdom when that time does come.
The focus over the next 5 days on every news outlet will be the last few days of 1999, the potential for problems via computers failing or activities by extremist groups. To be honest, I have been more focused on the work God has given me to do each day rather than get caught up in the hype.
I would like to give you two suggestions for this New Year's Eve though. I would never condemn anyone for wanting to go to some New Year's Eve celebration and having a good time. My personal opinion is that drugs, alcohol, and tobacco consumption is not something a follower of Christ should be involved in because (A) our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and why would you want to pollute your temple, (B) it is a bad witness to others who know you are a Christian and watch how you live, and could be a stumbling block in their search for the Lord, (C) it causes you to do and say things you normally wouldn't without that influence.
Having said that, if some sort of big celebration is not already planned, either go to a Watch-night service at a local church and bring in the New Year that way, or join me on Liveprayer.com and join a worldwide prayer meeting as we bring in the New Year all around the globe.
There will be a special announcement in tomorrow's devotional about our New Year's Eve plans, but we will have people worldwide logged on to our live video feed, giving us updates on the start of the new year from around the world. We will be praying for special needs that night. I will be on from 11pm EST through 3am EST as we bring in the new year from New York to Los Angeles. It is going to be a great night and you can be part of the only LIVE worldwide prayer meeting.
I want to pray today that you put your faith and trust in God this week and have no fears about the coming new year. Plan now to be part of a spiritual event on New Year's Eve. What better way to start the New Year than in prayer. It will be exciting as we begin a new century, full of opportunities to see the Kingdom of God expanded.
I am so full of hope and excitement as we use this great new technology on the Internet to literally reach hundreds of thousand worldwide every day for the Lord. God says to you today, "Fear not for I am the Lord your God, on my throne, and in control". Have a blessed Lord's day today as we praise and worship the only One worthy of our love and adoration. I love you, care about you, and want to hear from you today if I can help in any way. As we stand together in His strength, all things are possible.
In His love and service,
Your friend and co-laborer in His work,
Bill Keller
