Daily Devotional for Thursday June 11, 2026

Free speech is under attack and soon simply quoting the Bible will be a criminal act!

DAILY DEVOTIONAL THURSDAY JUNE 11, 2026

(Luke 19:40)

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

There is a great hymn of the faith called, “Rise Up O Men of God.” That song is as relevant today as when this exhortation to men was written by William Pierson Merrill in 1911. For those men who know Jesus as your Savior, let this be your song today!

***Prayer***

Dear Lord, Thank You for your blessings. I admit so much of the time I take most of them for granted, but today, I want to acknowledge Your love for me and the many blessings You bestow upon me each and every day. It is easy to say Thank You, but more important to Thank You in how I live my life each day. Give me Your strength to live my life pleasing and acceptable to You during this day. In Jesus name I pray...AMEN!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

Sadly, we are getting closer each day to seeing simply sharing the Truth of God’s Word criminalized. Yes, I said criminalized. Fines and PRISON! Canada is in the midst of a debate as they seek to put into law simply sharing what the Bible says about issues like marriage, human sexuality deemed “hate speech” punishable by a fine up to $50,000 and 1 year in prison. Europe already has been arresting people for simply citing Biblical passages on certain issues!

ONE YEAR IN PRISON FOR SIMPLY TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE FACT THE BIBLE SAYS MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN AND ANY SEX OUTSIDE OF THE BONDS OF MARRIAGE IS A SIN!

As we look to celebrate the 27th anniversary of Liveprayer this coming August 31st, I knew deep down and shared with the Daily Devotional subscribers in the first years of this ministry that there would soon come a day when the simple preaching of the Gospel and God’s Truth that is found in the Bible would become a criminal act.

Trust me my friend, big tech is already in the process of censoring the beliefs of Christians as is the corporate media. It is currently mostly in regards to the issue of abortion and sexuality, but trust me when they have finished with the censoring of political speech they disagree with...CHRISTIAN BELIEFS WILL BE NEXT!

Please be in prayer for our nation and for Liveprayer. NO MATTER WHAT THE THREATS MAY COME I WILL NEVER BE SILENCED FROM SHARING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST AND THE TRUTH OF GOD’S HOLY WORD!!!

***June Financial Update***

As we are into June, we ended May with a shortfall of $35,000. I am praying that we can cover the balance of May in the first 2 weeks of June so we can begin working on the $55,000 we require for our June ministry operation. So far we have covered $5,000 of May’s $35,000 shortfall leaving the final $30,000.

That is $85,000 to end June with all of our ministry operation current. Traditionally each year we struggle during the summer months of June, July, and August, but am believing God this year we will have an ABUNDANCE! 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!

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

Free speech under attack! I remember many years ago telling the readers of the Daily Devotional that it would soon be legal in this nation for men to marry men and women to marry women. I still remember the onslaught of emails telling me that I was crazy, that it would never happen. Well, it is the law of the land! I have also been trying to warn you that our most basic freedom to proclaim the Gospel would soon be in jeopardy.

Sadly, most people are so apathetic or simply out of touch that they don't even realize that day is now upon us. We all assume that based on our Constitutional right to freedom of speech, we will never have to worry about having the ability to proclaim God's Truth and the Gospel message.

My friend, the very first group who will be targeted in an attempt to stifle free speech will be Christians because we are the weakest! I realize that most people may think I am being paranoid and have lost my mind, but you haven't lived, breathed, and operated 24/7/365 the last 27 years preaching Biblical Truth and the hope of Christ in the marketplace like I have. I've not only experienced the attacks each day, but see clearly how the world wants to desperately silence our message.

The reason the Southern Poverty Law Center put me on their hate map 16 years ago was because I had the audacity to go outside the 4 walls of the church, go on regular TV and not Christian TV, to proclaim God’s Truth as found in the Bible. They could care less about gutless cowards like Joel Osteen and other pastors who refuse to challenge this Godless culture. They could care less about the prosperity pimps on Christian TV fleecing the flock. Someone like me they view as a huge problem because they can’t silence my voice!!!

The fact is those who oppose God DO want to silence us. Now please understand me, again as long as we stay inside our churches, as long as we stay in our own little Christian media world that NOBODY outside of a small minority of Christians pays attention to, we are fine. However, once we venture into the marketplace, into the mainstream media, we have problems. The coming hate speech crime legislation in Canada and Europe is designed for one purpose and that is to silence anyone from speaking out on the sin of homosexuality, gay marriage, abortion, even from the Bible.

The case will be made that anyone who calls these acts a sin is spewing hate speech designed to incite people to violence against homosexuals, the mentally ill who don’t know what gender they are, and those who kill babies every day, even though there will be no proof of that happening. This is the same tactic other groups like the Muslims, and others who oppose God will use to silence those who take a stand for God's Truth in the marketplace.

Calling hate speech the basic truths of the Bible is exactly how those who oppose God will seek to silence anyone who goes into the public arena to take a stand for Biblical Truth!!!

The reality is, we have nobody to blame but ourselves. We extracted ourselves from the marketplace a long time ago. Those who do venture into the public arena, are more concerned with being politically correct than Biblically correct. We have a generation of gutless pastors who have been weaned on these seeker/purpose driven/emerging church marketing strategies that are designed to put warm bodies in their pews at the expense of the Truth of the Bible and the Gospel.

It is no longer about sin, sacrifice, and service, but tickling ears, entertaining, and making people feel good. Church is no longer about preaching and teaching the Bible to equip the saints and save souls, but is little more than a social setting that is a big business fraught with politics and lots of flesh. The irrelevance of the modern church in the real daily lives of people is why you have the better percentage of two + full generations who have never even been to a church in their life.

It is the weak, apathetic, and in many cases, apostate church that is largely to blame for the lack of courage most people have in sharing their faith with the world. The world is a bully. Like a classic bully, they smell fear and weakness. The world has intimidated most Christians into silence, and in so doing, has made it that much easier to now make a real move on taking away one of our most foundations rights in this nation, the freedom of speech.

I love you and care about you so much. This is a wake-up call today to all of those who love the Lord. You no longer have the luxury of being silent. The reality is, it will soon cost you to speak out for Christ. However, regardless of the personal consequences you have no choice. Sadly, we are at a stage in this nation's history where people of faith will pay a price for speaking out for their faith. It is a reality many of our brothers and sisters in other parts of the world face daily. Regardless of the price, we can't be silent and must speak out or the very rocks will cry out!!!

I pay a price daily to do what God has called me to do. I could have taken the same road most do, stay in the Christian trough, preach to the choir, build buildings and fly around in private jets. But that is the mindset that has put us in a position where in the very near future we won't even be able to preach from the Bible without repercussions. Our ability to freely share the Gospel will be gone one day very soon. We MUST make the most of what little time we have left. The window to turn this nation back to God and to His Truth, to freely bring the lost to Christ, is almost closed.

Now is the time, this is the moment, while we still have the ability we must exercise our right to free speech and declare God’s Truth as found in His precious Word!!!

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Bill Keller
