(Acts 14:22)
***Personal Message For You From Bill Keller***
God doesn’t have a watch and His timing is rarely our timing, but His timing is always perfect! In the end, do we want things our way, or God’s way? Our way never works in the long term, but God’s way always works now and for eternity!
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 received $15,000 in the last few days and are down to the final $20k from our July shortfall, and the $55k from our August ministry operations.
I NEED YOUR HELP TODAY! My focus is clearing up that final $20k from July that is seriously past due IMMEDIATELY! That would take the immediate pressure off and give us the rest of the month to bring in the $55k from the August budget. $75,000!!! OUR GOD IS ABLE!!!
*IT IS CRITICAL THAT WE GET $10,000 IN OUR BANK TODAY. IF YOU HAVE BEEN BLESSED AND ABLE, PLEASE PRAY ABOUT HELPING ME INSURE THIS NEED IS MET.

I need everyone else who is led and able to help me in the coming days to insure we clear up the $55,000 from our August ministry operations. 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, please help me to find Your peace and joy in this coming weekend. I need a break from the battles, from the challenges of daily life, and want to simply find your rest in the coming days. Help me to re-charge and be prepared to get back to facing all of the challenges life brings my way when the new week unfolds, but over this weekend, give me Your perfect peace. In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!
***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***
As the Catholic Church continues to push for Bishop Fulton Sheen to be a saint, those unfamiliar with the man made traditions of the Catholic Church, require all of those they deem to be saints must have performed 2 verifiable miracles in their life. Now, It was 35 year ago since I went thru my seminary training, and I have probably read the Bible cover to cover well over 100 times in addition to the critical study of all 66 books while working towards my theological degree.
I must have missed it, but I can’t find the Book of the Bible and verses that declare a dead person can be a saint. I also can’t find the Book of the Bible and verses that declare that dead person they want to make a saint must have performed 2 verifiable miracles. Maybe one of our Catholic friends can point me to those passages.
I have asked conservative Catholic streamer Jack Posobiec many times for such information and instead be blocked me from his X account. Funny, MSNBC, Maddow, CNN, and a host of the globalist/corporate media people and outlets have also blocked me. Not very Christian of Jack to block a brother in Christ for simply asking for a Biblical reference since we know the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God representing Absolute Truth and our FINAL AUTHORITY in all matters.
SOLA SCRIPTURA (Scripture alone), which the Catholic Church actually teaches, along with SOLA FIDES (faith alone) is why they are NOT a cult as some non-Catholics contend.

The problem is this whole issue of assigning a dead person sainthood is NOT in the Bible, but a man-made tradition of the Catholic Church. More to the point, the Bible clearly teaches that “the dead no longer have any part of this world.” Actually, the Bible clearly teaches that it is those LIVING who have put their faith in Jesus Christ in the pardon of their sins who are the saints!
Also, they have stated that one of the “miracles” Bishop Fulton Sheen performed was praying for a baby with a heart issue and he lived and has grown up to lead a normal life. Amen! However, if 2 verifiable “miracles’ like that are required for sainthood, under that standard please stop calling me Pastor Bill and from now on refer to me as Saint Bill! LOL!
The Catholic Church is in the process of advancing one of their “man-made traditions,” something that is NOT Biblical. It doesn't make them heretics since ALL churches, even the little Baptist Church down the road have unBiblical man-made traditions of some sort. Make sure to read the Daily Devotional below for a complete understanding of the Catholic Church and all of the issues regarding this church.
An example of one man-made tradition that many protestant churches observe is baptizing babies. Baptism is for a Believer who is identifying their life with Christ. BAPTISM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SALVATION, BUT IS AN ACT OF IDENTIFICATION WITH CHRIST AFTER A PERSON IS SAVED! That is why baptizing a baby is meaningless. However, the Bible DOES teach to dedicate a baby to the Lord, that is very Scriptural! Here is a Devotional on this issue: https://www.liveprayer.com/devotional.cfm?id=53006
The Catholic Church is in the process of making Bishop Fulton Sheen a saint. Anyone familiar with his popular TV program from the 50s seen by TENS OF MILLIONS each week understand he was an incredible evangelist just as Billy Graham was! I dealt with this issue of sainthood on the Friday night 9/18 Liveprayer TV program. Below is a link to the full program, this issue starts at the 43:15 mark and goes until the end and is worth your time to watch it. Let me remind you that the Bible clearly teaches that the dead “have no part of this world,” and that ALL BELIEVERS ARE SAINTS!

"...strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith. "We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God," they said." Acts 14:22
Remain true to the faith. Along our journey of faith, God knows when we need encouragement, when our flesh is weak and we need to be challenged to press on. I am no different than you or any other man.
I have my times of weakness, my moments of doubt, those days when the battles are simply too fierce. Satan is only too happy to seize those moments as he did when Jesus was in the wilderness for 40 days and nights.
He comes to tempt me, acting as my friend who is concerned about my well-being, giving me all the justification I need to take my eyes off the prize. This is how satan will come to you as well. Listen to me carefully.
SATAN IS A LIAR! HE IS NOT OUR FRIEND! HIS GOAL IS TO KILL, STEAL AND DESTROY....YOU AND ME!!!
Several years ago a dear friend sent me an excerpt from the writings of that great preacher and theologian from the 1800's Charles Spurgeon. As God's timing is always perfect, it came at a moment when I needed some encouragement.
The weight of the work was extremely heavy and the flesh weary that day. I sat at my desk and read Spurgeon's' words and tears literally ran down my cheeks as I was read about my life, my battles, my challenges in his poignant words.
I have printed out that passage he wrote and keep it with me. I refer to it often since it so perfectly sums up my life. It also perfectly sums up the life of any follower of Christ who is sold out to serve the Lord until their dying breath.
I want to share those powerful words with you today. I pray that they will inspire and encourage you as much as they have me so many days. They really sum up what this journey is all about. There is perhaps no greater challenge we have as followers of Christ than to remain true to the faith.
So many over the years have been like Demas who we read about in the Book of Acts. Demas was a man serving God, but decided to turn back to the world. In those moments of temptation I often think back to the words of Peter.
When asked by Jesus if he would turn away from the Lord Peter boldly responded in John 6:68, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life!" That is why the child of God presses on, remains true to the faith. To whom shall we go?
Spurgeon writes: "Perseverance is the badge of true saints. The Christian life is not a beginning only in the ways of God, but also a continuance in the same as long as life lasts. It is with a Christian as it was with the great Napoleon: he said, "Conquest has made me what I am, and conquest must maintain me." So, under God, dear brother in the Lord, conquest has made you what you are, and conquest must sustain you. Your motto must be, "Excelsior." He only is a true conqueror, and shall be crowned at the last, who continueth till war's trumpet is blown no more. Perseverance is, therefore, the target of all our spiritual enemies. The world does not object to your being a Christian for a time, if she can but tempt you to cease your pilgrimage, and settle down to buy and sell with her in Vanity Fair. The flesh will seek to ensnare you, and to prevent your pressing on to glory. "It is weary work being a pilgrim; come, give it up. Am I always to be mortified? Am I never to be indulged? Give me at least a furlough from this constant warfare." Satan will make many a fierce attack on your perseverance; it will be the mark for all his arrows. He will strive to hinder you in service: he will insinuate that you are doing no good; and that you want rest. He will endeavour to make you weary of suffering, he will whisper, "Curse God, and die." Or he will attack your steadfastness: "What is the good of being so zealous? Be quiet like the rest; sleep as do others, and let your lamp go out as the other virgins do." Or he will assail your doctrinal sentiments: "Why do you hold to these denominational creeds? Sensible men are getting more liberal; they are removing the old landmarks: fall in with the times." Wear your shield, Christian, therefore, close upon your armour, and cry mightily unto God, that by His Spirit you may endure to the end."
AMEN...AMEN....AND AMEN!!!
I love you and care about you so much. I pray today that you will pray over these powerful words, reading them over and over. They sum up so eloquently the challenge of remaining true to the faith. The challenge to not turn away from serving the Lord after a season to go back into the world.
The temptation to indulge the flesh. The lies that the work you do for the Lord is all in vain and makes no difference. The physical battle of fighting weariness and fatigue. The war against apathy and political correctness. These are all very real issues those who serve the Lord must face along their journey through life as they strive to remain true to the faith.
I pray today that these words will challenge and encourage you in your personal journey. It is our steadfastness and perseverance that satan will assail. A Christian does not scare satan, however, a Christian who is steadfast and perseveres no matter what life throws his way is the enemy's worst nightmare!
I hear every day from people who tell me they have followed the exploits of Liverpayer over these many years and have been encouraged by the fact no matter what challenges come our way we keep pressing forward, faithfully serving the Lord and trusting Him each step of the way, and then see the incredible fruit from that steadfastness and perseverance.
I try my best daily to set an example for you that Jesus has already won the victory, our responsibility is to simply remain true to the faith!
In His love and service,
Your friend and co-laborer in His work,
Bill Keller
