DAILY DEVOTIONAL MONDAY AUGUST 31, 2026

(1 Corinthians 15:57)

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

All glory to God for the 27 years of Liveprayer! May HE continue to be glorified through His work here until our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ returns!!!

This is a bittersweet day today! As we acknowledge the 27 year anniversary of Liveprayer,I am also facing one of the greatest financial challenges we have ever faced in nearly 3 decades. Over these past 27 years we have been faced with a critical financial challenge 3 times that could have forced Liveprayer to close down. Each time God had a ram in the bush, spoke to the heart of someone who was obedient at that very moment!!!

We are at this place today due to several dear friends going home to be with the Lord in addition to many facing very unique financial challenges of their own. Several are going thru the estate of a spouse working thru probate, a few dealing with changing business climates in their industry, and a others unexpected family issues requiring any extra finances. Those are normal challenges we face each month over the last 27 years along this journey of faith we are on, but have faced a perfect storm of problems the last 60 days!

Ultimately God moves on the hearts of those in the Liveprayer family to step in and help in ways they haven’t in the past, we acquire new friends along the way who catch the vision of God’s work here at Liveprayer and make the sacrifice to help us. Additionally every year June, July, and August donations slow down adding extra pressure during those months, but as we get into the final months of the year donations pick back up, especially during December when many make a special year-end gift to Liveprayer.

SO WE FACE A CRITICAL CASH NEED TODAY DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES THAT HAVE HIT US ESPECIALLY HARD THESE PAST FEW MONTHS PUTTING ME IN A VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION TODAY THAT I HAVE BEEN PRAYING IN FAITH OVER FOR WEEKS NOW! EVERYONE CAN PRAY, AND MANY OTHERS CAN SEEK THE LORD WHAT HE IS CALLING THEM TO DO AT THIS MOMENT! sATAN IS A LIAR AND A LOSER!!!

*Heading into the final day of August I desperately need the final $15,000 from June by NOON EDT MONDAY! I need $20,000 from the $55,000 we were short in July by NOON EDT TUESDAY! If we can cover the last $35,000 of the July shortfall by this coming Friday the 4th of September, that takes all of the immediate financial pressure off.

That would leave us most of September to work on the $55,000 from August and the $55,000 for our September ministry operations. OUR GOD IS ABLE!

If you can help me today I can give you our Wells Fargo wire info, or our FedEx info, or our Wells Fargo account info if you want have a Wells Fargo branch close by and can just direct deposit your gift into our account. For any info email me at: bkeller@liveprayer.com

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!

*27TH ANNIVERSARY MONTH! As we head into August, our 27h anniversary month, please pray about helping me with a special one-time gift of $27, $1 for every year, or $270, $10 for every year, or $2,700, $100 for every year, or $27,000, $1,000 for every year.

***Prayer***

Dear Lord, thank You for another day of life! Even though this is a special day in the life of Your ministry here at Liveprayer, let us never to forget that EVERY DAY is a special day since it is a gift from You! Please let me never take one day, one hour, one minute of this precious life for granted and may I always honor You with my life! In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

I was adopted when I was 16 months old. My parents weren't rich by the world's standards, but gave me riches beyond imagination showering me with unconditional love and teaching me to love Jesus and honor His Word. My father died from pancreatic cancer in January of 1974 right before my 16th birthday, but he taught me a work ethic that I embraced during my years running from the Lord and have continued to adhere to over these past 34 years in my service to the Kingdom. My dear mother went home to be with Jesus a few days before Christmas in 1998, only months before I started Liveprayer, but was able to see me fulfill God's will for my life during the first 5 years of my ministry.

For the past 34 years of ministry, the past 27 here at Liveprayer along with the last 23 plus years on TV, I have tried my best each and every day to serve Him with everything I possess. I can say with all honesty I have given the Lord my very best each and every day. He loved me enough to die for me on a cross so my sins could be forgiven, how could I give Him anything less? I realize that tomorrow is promised to none of us, so each day I give Jesus everything I have just like it is my last day of this brief journey we are on called life.

The Bible says to whom much is given, much is required. God has blessed me with EVERYTHING in my life. My only desire each morning that He wakes me up is to minister to the needs of those He allows to cross my path that day, bring His Truth to the masses outside of the four walls of the church, and share the hope we have in Jesus Christ with the lost and hurting!

Thanks to the love, prayers, and sacrificial gifts of those in the Liveprayer family over these past 27 years online, over 23 plus years on TV, together we have impacted tens of millions of lives all over this world, prayed over and responded to over 330 million emails for prayer, have an archive of 33 million plus praise reports as a testimony to God's grace and faithfulness, and seen over 3.3 million souls around the world that we know of come to faith in Jesus Christ!

I NEVER FORGET THAT EVERYTHING THAT LIVEPRAYER HAS ACCOMPLISHED FOR THE LORD OVER THESE PAST 27 YEARS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOU, THE LIVEPRAYER FAMILY! I AM ONLY ABLE TO DO WHAT THE LORD HAS CALLED ME TO DO EACH DAY BECAUSE OF YOU, AND I WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL FOR YOUR LOVE, PRAYERS, AND GENEROUS SACRIFICES TO HELP ME IN HIS WORK HERE AT LIVEPRAYER!

I didn't know how long God would keep me around 34 years ago when I finally made the decision to completely surrender my life to serve Him. Obviously, He still has work for me to do 34 years later. I can't re-live that decade I ran from God, but I have given Him 100% of everything I have for the last 34 years, and will until the moment He says my work is finished and calls me home to Glory. MY ONLY DESIRE IS THAT AT THAT MOMENT, I HEAR MY JESUS SAY TO ME, “WELL DONE THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT!”

***I have issued TWO major warnings in June for people to wake up before God unleashes His wrath and punishment on our land for our sins and wickedness. The first was on the Liveprayer TV program Tuesday June 2nd. The warning starts at the 11:40 mark of the program and goes on for 20 minutes. Here is the link to that program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVuURi7A4Uk&t=722s The second was on the Liveprayaer TV program Wednesday June 24th. The warning starts at the 9:40 mark of the program and goes on for 20 minutes. Here is the link to that program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMs1gyuIMto&t=590s

***Liveprayer TV Program airs “LIVE” every Monday thru Friday from 11pm EDT to Midnight! For details on viewing options for the Liveprayer TV program, “LIVE” or “On Demand,” go to: https://liveprayer.com/liveprayer-show-about.cfm

***August Financial Update***

I need your help today, we are in a difficult place financially as we end the summer months! Heading into the final days of August here is what our immediate needs are! We covered $15,000 of the critical $30,000 balance of our June operations leaving the final $15,000 from June’s shortfall and the $55,000 from our July ministry operations.

That is $70,000 we require today to clear up our shortfalls we had starting August! I desperately need that final $15,000 from June that is way past due immediately and the final $55,000 by this Friday the 4th of September. That will give us some breathing room financially and allow me to have September to cover the $55,000 we required for August and the $55,000 for September’s ministry operations.

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! 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.

*27TH ANNIVERSARY MONTH! As we head into August, our 27th anniversary month, please pray about helping me with a special one-time gift of $27, $1 for every year, or $270, $10 for every year, or $2,700, $100 for every year, or $27,000, $1,000 for every year.

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."

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

Twenty seven years of Liveprayer! It is easy to get discouraged looking at the world around us today despite the wonderful milestone that 27 years ago at Noon edt on 8/31/1999, Liveprayer signed onto the internet. When Liveprayer signed on, there were 2.4 million websites. Today, there are apx. 2 BILLION websites!!!

Uunique historical fact about Liveprayer is that we were the very first non-pornographic website to have “live streaming video.” For the first 3 years of Liveprayer, we had a prayer partner in a small prayer studio literally 24/7 to pray for the needs of people who came to the website with needs.

Over the years Liveprayer has become the most effective interactive online ministry ever. God has used His work here to impact tens of millions of live worldwide while seeing over 3.3 million souls worldwide we know of come to faith in Jesus Christ. To God be the glory, and it will be the eternal legacy of myself and each member of the Liveprayer family!!!

As I type these words, I think back to the numerous times over 27 years I have exhorted people that our ONLY hope is to turn this nation back to God and His Truth. Liveprayer is the instrument that God has been using to impact individual lives, and as we continue to do that our final work for the Lord is to lead the way for a spiritual revival across this land. Unless that happens, unless we have a Nineveh moment where the masses get on their knees and repent of their sins, turn back to God and His Truth, this nation is finished.

Only the arrogant and prideful will believe that the same God who judged his own children for FAR LESS sin, won't unleash His wrath and judgment on this nation!!!

Over the last 27 years, Liveprayer has become by far the world's largest interactive Christian website. We've sent out over 9,800 Daily Devotionals daily over these past 27 years that began going out to a handful of people and are now are received by over 2.5 million people worldwide every single day. We have received and responded to over 330 million email prayer requests. We have accumulated a Praise Report archive with over 33 million testimonies of God's faithfulness.

We've also been able to impact millions more lives thru broadcasting the uncompromised Truth of God's Word and the fact Jesus is the ONLY way on over 6,000 "live" TV programs on major NON-CHRISTIAN TV stations, seen by millions of people in Florida, Illinois and around the nation since it debuted in March of 2003. Since Thanksgiving of 2018, the program is now seen “live” for an hour, 5 nights a week on all major streaming platforms.

Of course, ALL honor, glory, and praise goes to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Jesus said, "Without me you can do NOTHING!" That powerful reminder from John 15:5 is on the mirror in my bathroom and the first thing I see every morning. I have been most blessed of men to be given the honor and privilege to serve our Lord in such a meaningful way each and every day.

It was 37 years ago this month that I sat in a Federal Prison cell and rededicated my life back to Christ and finally gave the Lord the one and only thing He ever wanted from me, and the one and only thing He ever wants from you...my life completely, fully, and wholly surrendered to Him!

Whatever has happened at Liveprayer over these past 27 years is NOT because of Bill Keller, it is because of Jesus Christ. Bill Keller is simply a vessel God has chosen to use at this moment in human history in the fulfillment of His overall plan and purpose. All I did was give my life completely to the Lord and surrender myself to whatever His will for me is each day.

I spent 7 years PRIOR to the start of Liveprayer doing my best to serve and follow God faithfully, preaching the Gospel all over the country. Whatever Liveprayer has become after these 27 years since Liveprayer began, is the result of serving and following Christ obediently and faithfully serving Him for over 34 years. It was God who has called me to do what I do today and I am simply doing my best to follow His voice as I walk by faith each day!!!

It has been dear friends like you who have loved me, prayed for me, made great sacrifices in many cases to support God's work here, who are as responsible as anyone for all God has done in tens of millions of lives worldwide these past 27 years!!!

It is because of what we, the Liveprayer family, has done these past 27 years that I have the incredible passion for what we can do in the years to come should Jesus tarry. What drives me each day is the fact that I know Jesus may return at any moment, that tomorrow is promised to none of us, and I need to be faithful each day to the work God has called me to do.

Every second of every day someone is dying and going to hell that could be in Heaven if we had been able to reach them with the hope of Christ. Thru the internet and television, we have the ability to reach the lost and hurting masses and not only help them find real answers in their hour of need, but the eternal hope we have in Jesus Christ.

Seeing the lost won for Christ is what I have given my life to do. With every waking moment, every breath until God calls me home, my only objective and goal is to reach the lost with the Gospel. That passion, that drive, that determination has not waned over these past 324 months, it has only intensified.

I refuse to let the personal abuse I take each day stop me. I refuse to let the continual threats on my life stop me. I refuse to let the daily challenges of living in this fallen world stop me. I refuse to let finances stop me. I refuse to let anything keep me from giving the Lord everything I have every day.

I know that I fall short every day, fail the Lord every day, but I am thankful He knows my heart. Jesus gave His very life for me, how can I give Him anything less?

I LOVE YOU AND CARE ABOUT YOU SO MUCH! I really mean that each and every day!!!

The greatest joy of all these past 27 years is this new family God has blessed me with. Every day I cry with those in the Liveprayer family who lose those they love, and I rejoice with those in the Liveprayer family as they bring new life into this world.

I remember today the many dear and faithful friends who have been part of Liveprayer over the years, many who helped lay the foundation for God's work here who have gone on to their rewards in Glory. I also am excited by all the new additions to the Liveprayer family as they grow up to become the men and women of God He has called them to be.

It has been a privilege to stand with so many young adults as they have gone thru high school, college, started their first job, and gotten married, had children. I've been honored to stand with those in the Liveprayer family who have lost their job, gotten new ones, faced health issues, struggled with their finances, gone through a divorce, had legal issues, bought and sold homes, moved, dealt with children and grandchildren living apart from the Lord, those how have battled with different addictions, and all the rest of the daily challenges we face along our journey through this life.

I'm grateful to be here each day God allows me to be here to help bear your burdens!!!

"It's an honor to speak to people about God, it's an even greater honor to speak to God for people!!!" -EM Bounds

All I can say in closing is THANK YOU! Thank you for your love. Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for your encouragement. Thank you for your financial support of God's work her at Liveprayer. I tell you often that without you there would be no Liveprayer. That is true. YOU make this all possible each day for millions of lost and hurting people worldwide.

Your love and prayers and gifts have made an eternal impact in the lives of tens of millions of people around this planet. Please continue to pray for me and for all those who labor here so faithfully each day to make this all possible. For those who God leads and have the ability, please continue to prayerfully give as the Holy Spirit leads you to help insure we can meet our financial needs.

I'm looking forward to the day my work here is complete and I am able to go to Heaven and hopefully catch up on some sleep. I know that at some point, there will be a great reunion of all those people who were part of the Liveprayer family.

It is such an honor and great joy of mine on those occasions to actually meet those who are part of the Liveprayer family. Sadly, I know that I will never get that opportunity to shake hands and give a hug to the vast majority who are in the Liveprayer family during this life. So I look forward to that day in Glory when we will all be together for a great reunion!!!

In the meantime, God still has much for us to do. While it would be easy and tempting to sit back and be content with what we have accomplished these past 27 years, we can't because there is still too much work left to do. The Liveprayer Church, has become the world's online cathedral for many people each week.

So now is time to keep pressing on towards that prize, being obedient and faithful each day to serve and follow the Lord, and declare to this lost world the Truth of God's Word and tell them of the eternal hope they can have in Jesus Christ. May God continue to pour out His favor and blessings on Liveprayer as we remain faithful each day to our calling of leading this nation back to God and HIS Truth!"

Let me leave you with my life verse from 1 Corinthians 15:57, ""But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!"

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

Bill Keller
