***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***
Here is why Canada and European countries are pushing euthanasia, Dr. assisted suicide, so hard! We now have 14 states who how have euthanasia laws with another 10 close to legalizing euthanasia. Euthanasia is critical for countries with Nationalized Health Care like the radical Democrats want to put in place in the United States. Because there are only so many healthcare dollars, the more sick people they can kill via euthanasia the less pressure they have to provide their citizens “free healthcare!”

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!!!

"But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men." Acts 5:29
I warned you 2 decades ago this day was coming!!! Today's Daily Devotional is from 2005 when I warned people this day of persecution of Christians was coming. As with most of the issues I have raised over these 28 years of Liveprayer, sadly I was on the money in trying to warn people of what was coming if we continued to live in rebellion to God.
LAWS ONLY MATTER WHEN YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN AND THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO FORCE YOU TO VIOLATE YOUR FAITH!!!
The bigger picture is that Christians will be persecuted over sins like abortion. You will also see persecution of Christians who stand against other cultural rot like gambling and pornography, as well as challenging the false religions and cults. SIMPLY PREACHING FROM THE BIBLE WILL SOON LAND PEOPLE IN JAIL!!!
As I told you decades ago, this persecution of Christians will only get worse because we live in a day when over 70% of our churches make a mockery of what a Biblical church is supposed to be. It becomes easy to persecute those who stand for Biblical Truth when you have "churches" and "pastors" who support gross sins like homosexuality and other sexual perversions in addition to abortion. The Bible warned us in the last days there would be a great apostasy, a great falling away, as churches and those who call themselves Christians compromise God's Truth and the faith.
Take a few minutes and read these sobering words from 21 years ago. Realize that what I said was coming is now upon us, and that this is the time for true followers of Christ to take their stand...even if it means jail...or death!!!
(Liveprayer Daily Devotional from November 2005) Several weeks ago, I read about three 15-year-old high school girls in Indonesia who were beheaded simply for being Christians. Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim nation and killing Christians, simply for being a follower of Christ, is a common practice in many parts of that country. The reality is, in 2005 there are MANY places on this planet where it costs to be a Christian, and that cost is often a person's life! I submit to you today that there is coming a day when Christians will be persecuted for their faith, even unto death, right here in the United States of America!!!
For those of us who have lived our lives in the United States, we have enjoyed tremendous freedoms to live and share our faith in virtual peace. The fact is we have never even begun to experience and can't even comprehend what many of our brothers and sisters in Christ in other parts of the world have to endure, to simply be a follower of Jesus Christ.
Actually, we should be ashamed of ourselves. We can go out and start a church, and nobody is going to bother us. We can go out and preach the Gospel, and nobody is going to bother us. We can set up Internet sites, create TV and radio programs, write books, make movies, and produce music, all to share our faith in Christ, and for the most part, nobody is going to bother us. In fact, there is very little we can't do in November of 2005 here in the United States, to live out and share our faith in Jesus Christ.
In a way, all of this freedom has made us "soft Christians." I firmly believe after years of evangelistic ministry, that all of the peace and freedom we have as Christians in this nation make us not really appreciate our faith in Christ. Instead of our faith being the most important thing in our life, it is simply just a part of our life, like belonging to a country club or having a hobby we enjoy.
The main reason is that we pay no price of any kind to get saved, since Jesus already paid that price. But it costs us nothing after we are saved to be a Believer in Christ here in the United States. Most who come to know Christ have that "born again" experience and grow very little in their faith, because they put virtually nothing into their relationship with Christ. Even the basics like praying and reading the Word each day, and going to church, are too great a sacrifice for most who call themselves Christians in this nation!
I wonder if a group of men armed with automatic weapons came into your church on Sunday, told the congregation they had 5 minutes to denounce Christ and leave the sanctuary, or proclaim Christ as their Savior by staying with the understanding that those who stayed would be killed, how many would be left in the pews? I wonder if you were with 20 people who were taken at gunpoint by a man who said he would kill anyone who claimed to be a Christian, and then started asking each person one by one if they were a follower of Christ, when he got to you what YOUR answer would be? The sad truth is, most Christians are afraid to share their faith in Christ with others simply out of the fear of being laughed at, mocked, and verbally challenged!!!
These may sound like unrealistic scenarios but they actually happen all the time in countries around this world. People are beaten and tortured for their faith in Christ. People are put into prison for years, for decades, for being a follower of Jesus. Many people every day are martyred and killed for proclaiming that Jesus Christ is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! We are too busy to pray, yet brothers and sisters in Christ in some places today are risking their lives to pray. We are too busy to read the Bible, yet brothers and sisters in Christ in some places are beaten and put into prison just for having a copy of God's Word.
We have no use for Christ's church, yet brothers and sisters in the Lord in some places are killed for having a church service. My friend, we have it so easy here in the U.S., we take our faith for granted and instead of it defining who we are, it is shuffled far down our list of priorities and simply part of our life, like the Tuesday night bowling league we belong to.
Please, I am so tired of hearing Christians whining about being persecuted in this country. Because we can't pray in public schools we are being persecuted? Because the town hall won't put up a manger scene we are being persecuted? Because a department store like Wal-Mart won't say "Merry Christmas" we are being persecuted?
That is not persecution, that is simply part of living in a society that has chosen to live in rebellion to the God of the Bible and reject His Truth and Son Jesus Christ! Should we speak up about these issues? Sure, but please don't say we are being persecuted. Being persecuted is when someone takes a machete and chops off your head, for no other reason than you have identified yourself as a follower of Christ!!!
However, there is coming a day, sooner than any of us think, when we will endure that type of persecution right here in the United States! Impossible you say? NO, very possible. We have taken our faith for granted, taken the great freedoms we enjoy for granted, and there will come a day when we won't have those freedoms any longer and we will have to decide how important our faith is to us. At that time, it will COST to be a Christian. It will COST to pray. It will COST to read the Word. It will COST to go to church.
***It won't cost money but the potential of being beaten, tortured, thrown in jail, and even killed. On that day, I wonder how many will be left willing to pay the cost? Will you?
I love you and care about you so much. I pray today that this word will cause you to think, cause you to evaluate your faith. It is easy to say I would die for Jesus, but would you really? Let me challenge you today. If you would die for Jesus, will you live for Jesus? I don't want to let go of this theme since it is critical. If we really love the Lord as we claim, then He should be the top priority in our life. Christ should be such a burning passion in our heart that we should be actively involved in trying to help everyone we know come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
When you accepted Jesus into your heart and life by faith, you gave Him your life. Not just for an hour on Sunday morning, but ALL of your life! The Bible says it is no longer your life, that it belongs to Him. If you really believed that your life is no longer your own, you would live like it was no longer your own. You would be fully and completely surrendered to Christ every moment of every day. It would not be about you, it would be about Him. It would not be your desires, it would be His desires. It would not be you that lived, but yes, the Christ that lives within you!!!
Sadly, it is going to take real persecution in this nation for God's people to be One. When persecution comes, we won't be divided any longer by Methodist, Baptist, Catholic, or Pentecostal; we won't be worried any longer if this person speaks in tongues or that person chooses to worship quietly; it won't matter if the color of your skin is black, white, yellow, or red, only if you know Jesus. All of the ways we have found to divide ourselves will be gone and we will be bound simply by the blood of our Lord, one in Him.
Those God raises up to lead His people in these days of persecution will be true servants, since there will be no money in serving the Lord, only sacrifice. Those who want to lead in these days of persecution won't have people paying to hear them speak, only people coming to lead them to their death.
Be of good cheer. The Bible proclaims that our citizenship is NOT of this world We are citizens of a different world and are simply passing through this one. Those who know Christ as their Savior understand that this life is but for a brief season and that we have the assurance of spending all eternity with Him. They don't live in fear of death, since death has no hold on the Believer. Our purpose in this life is to serve and glorify God with our lives and that will be the only goal of those who follow Jesus.
In closing, let me leave you with this thought and challenge. Every day, somewhere on this planet a brother or sister in Christ is literally giving their life for their faith. These are courageous men and women of God who in spite of death have chosen to follow Jesus. I pray that their lives will encourage YOU today, challenge YOU today.
God has blessed us in this nation to have a season with great freedoms to live our faith and share our faith. Instead of taking those freedoms for granted, causing us to take our faith for granted, let us use those freedoms to proclaim to this lost and dying world that Jesus Christ is "the way, the truth, and the life," and that nobody comes to the Father except thru Him.
In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller
