***Prayer***

Dear Lord, please help me today to be an active member of Your body. I pray each day that I will be yielded to You and Your will for my life. Let me remove all that is in my life keeping me from being the best servant I can possibly for You and Your Kingdom. I love You Lord, and let my love be expressed in my daily life as I serve You. In the name of Jesus I pray…AMEN!!!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

A couple of years ago I shared with you what God had told me one night in prayer. Praying over our nation, over the endless challenges we face at home and abroad, His gentle voice told me that “It was going to be OK, He was going to work it out.” Hearing those words I immediately went to Romans 8:28, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to his purpose!”

Of course that raised the critical question, DO WE REALLY LOVE GOD???

We can say we love God, but do our actions match our words? As my mother would tell me as a child, words are cheap and that actions speak louder than words! So while God's words comforted me, they also challenged me since I know He never lies. I believe Him when He was He was going to work it out. I also understand we have a role to play in this.

True Biblical faith requires ACTION! Faith is not just lying in bed and expecting God to take care of everything like he is some cosmic concierge who fulfills our orders. Again, I 100% believe God is going to “work it all out,” but I also understand that we have to make our faith real by ACTION!

The one constant message I have shared since Liveprayer began over a quarter century ago, since the TV program began over 23 years ago, is that we must do our part to see a great national revival, to see the people repent and turn back to God and His Truth! If we do our part we know God will do His.

This November we will get an indication from God if our country will be saved for a season, or if we will be given over to the enemies of the United States and God for the next several generations. GOD TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO WORK IT OUT AND I BELIEVE HIM. IF YOU BELIEVE HIM THAN WE MUST BE BUSY EACH DAY DOING OUR PART TO LEAD THE LOST AND HURTING TO FAITH IN JESUS!!!

***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***

Thank you to those who were able to help me with a gift during July! Over July we finally covered the balance of our May operations and received the first $15,000 of our June ministry operations. We ended July requiring the final $40,000 from June and the $55,000 for July’s operations. I am praying in the first weeks of August we can cover that $95,000 shortfall so we can begin working on the $55,000 we will require during our anniversary month of August.

Traditionally each year we struggle during the summer months of June, July, and August, so I can really use your help especially in this first week of August with that $105,000 getting seriously past due! OUR GOD IS ABLE!!

*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.

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!!! 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

How many times in a day do we lose our temper, snap at those we love, ignore those we work with, go to school with, interact with each day? Sometimes, we are so wrapped up in our life, our problems, what we are trying to get done, we simply tune others out. You see, being kind requires us to care for others. It requires us to concentrate on their needs.

It forces us to look away from ourselves and look at others!!!

Like most of the things I write about each day, this is something we usually overlook, often take for granted, and seldom think about. If you asked most people, they would tell you that they are "kind" to others. Most of the time they are probably right. But God has told us to be kind to others, and again, in our attempt to be living within His will this is another facet of our life we must be aware of.

Being kind in a Biblical sense means that we need to put others before ourselves, look at serving others instead of serving ourselves. Kindness requires our focus be on someone else!!!

One thing I learned early in my ministry was that only God can change a human heart. He uses us as instruments to touch people’s lives and soften their hearts so He can speak to them. Our acts of kindness to others are a way for God to speak to someone who needs Him. You never know where a person really is in terms of their life, but God does.

Our kindness to someone at a critical point can be the act that opens them to hear God's voice speaking to them!!!

I love you and care about you so much. I will be praying today for you to focus this day on being kind to others. Never underestimate how God is using you. It is usually in those simple acts that God uses us the most. Practice being kind to others each day so that it becomes natural.

Our nature is to focus on ourselves first and others second. God wants us to change that nature to focus on others first and ourselves second. That means we must trust God to look out after our needs. I am praying that your faith be increased to trust Him to care for you, while you care for others. This is a great day today. It is unique because it is like no other day, and when it is gone, will never be back. Make the most of it for Him.

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Bill Keller
