DAILY DEVOTIONAL WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 2, 2026

(1 Thessalonians 5:17)

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

Pray for the Lord to use you to bring HIS love to someone who is hurting and in need of His love today.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN PRAYING AND THOSE WHO WERE LED TO HELP ME WITH A GIFT AT THIS CRITICAL TIME. By the grace of God we are still here as have been faithfully for the last 27 years! Here is where we are at on this 2nd day of September!

Most important, we received emails from 83 souls who accepted Jesus as their Savior by faith Monday on our 27th anniversary, just like we do virtually every day! IF LIVEPRAYER SHUTS DOWN TODAY THOSE 83 SOULS WILL BE FOREVER IN HEAVEN WHEN THEIR BRIEF JOURNEY OF LIFE IS OVER!!!

*We received $10,000 of the critical $15,000 Monday still leaving the last $5,000 from June that we need IMMEDIATELY!!! If you can put a special gift on your credit card, or if you can wire the funds to our account today, that would be a huge help at this critical time!!!

That $5,000 finishes off June. Today, Wednesday the 2nd we require $10,000 of the $55,000 from our July ministry operations and another $15,000 from July’s shortfall this coming Friday the 4th for a total of $25,000 from July’s shortfall. That takes the immediate pressure off of this critical place we are in.

$5,000 immediately, $10,000 for Wednesday, and $15,000 Friday for a total of $30,000 clears up our critical and immediate needs! Pray if the Lord has blessed you to be able to help me with a special one-time gift today!

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

Over the balance of the month of September we will need to cover the final $30,000 of our July operations and the $55,000 we required during August. That $85,000 will lead us into October and the final 3 months of the year requiring the $55,000 for our September operations along with the $55,000 we will require in October, in November, and in December. OUR GOD IS ABLE!!!

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! August was Liveprayer’s 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***

God, thank You for Your love, Your grace, and Your mercy that You have showed in my life. I thank You for allowing me to serve You over these past 27 years. I thank You for giving me the vision of Liveprayer over 27 yrs ago, and allowing this unique instrument YOU created to impact tens of millions of lives worldwide, respond to over 320 million emails for prayer, the 32 million praise reports testifying to Your faithfulness, and the apx. 3.3 million souls we know of who are or will be in Heaven for all eternity. YOU OH GOD ARE MOST WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!!!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

Earlier this week a US Federal Court of Appeals ruled that the private possession of AI-generated child porn is protected by the 1st amendment if it is not the actual photo of a real child. In the UK, 100 girls under the age of 12 were forced to legally marry a mature Muslim man as part of Islamic religious practices.

I am well aware based on emails I get daily that my warnings over the last decade legalizing adult/child sex and marriage would soon be legal, that most people don’t believe it will ever happen. I think back to the early days of Liveprayer in 2000, 2001, and onward when I was warning people if we don’t take a stand men will soon legally marry men and women legally marry women.

People dismissed those warnings and laughed that I was being hyperbolic and that this is the United States and we would NEVER legalize such perversion as same sex marriage. Well, in 2015 people woke up and they weren’t laughing any longer as the Supreme Court legalized same sex marriage. They were confused how this could happen!

IT HAPPENED THE SAME WAY THE LEGALIZING OF ADULT/CHILD SEX AND MARRIAGE WILL HAPPEN. THE CHURCH IS SLEEPING AND HAS GIVEN THE CULTURE OVER TO SATAN AND HIS MINIONS. ANSWER HONESTLY. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOUR PASTOR OR ANY OF THE CELEBRITY PASTORS OUT THERE SOUNDED THE TRUMP OF WARNING ABOUT THE COMING LEGALIZATION OF ADULT/CHILD SEX AND MARRIAGE?

We both know that answer! The time is short, but we can stop this evil from happening in our country if God’s people will rise up. Do they even care?

***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

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!

There is one thing that I am certain of today, as you read this Devotional you have already or will throughout the day, face various problems. I am not talking about the major issues we often have to battle like a serious health problem, a crisis in our marriage, a major financial challenge, not having a job, being in bondage to some sort of addiction, but about the small day to day problems that come out of nowhere and have to be dealt with.

As you know, there is virtually no end to these types of problems. Losing our keys, misplacing our wallet, something going wrong with our car, getting a traffic ticket, something breaking in our home, spilling our coffee in the morning, our computer isn’t working, unexpected issues at work or school, a confrontation with someone we meet, having a routine dentist appointment turn into something more involved, stubbing your toe, not getting the apple pie you ordered in your McDonald’s lunch bag, or your pet is sick . . . I could go on for hours but I think you get my point.

There are so many things in our life that happens every day; just in the course of living through another 24 hours. Many of these things are totally out of our control and simply problems that we never expected but are suddenly confronted with. I find that for many people, simply dealing with the day-to-day problems life throws at them can be very challenging and often overwhelming.

This is one of the reasons that I frequently tell you we must have a real, committed, 24/7 relationship with the Lord. It would be nice if all of our problems occurred at 11 a.m. on Sunday morning, but that is not reality. The problems of life happen daily, and all throughout the day. I counsel people to start their day in prayer and in the Word of God. It is not only the best way to start your new day but it will give you the focus and strength to deal with whatever problems life may throw at you during the course of that day.

Paul said to, “Pray without ceasing.” I take that LITERALLY. I wake up each morning in prayer and never hang up the phone. I spend the entire day with that line to God open. God has given us the greatest resource there is in the world, a direct line to Him. We are fools if we don’t take full advantage of it. There is nothing in your life that you will face that is too big for God to handle or TOO SMALL!

You have got to understand, God cares about you! He loves you! God cares if your keys are lost. God cares if your car won’t start. God cares if you spill your coffee. God cares if your hot water heater isn’t working. God cares if your boss is giving you a hard time for no reason. God cares if you have a cavity. God cares if your apple pie is missing. God cares about every detail in your life. He loves you that much.

I love you and care about you too! I realize that you are facing lots of challenges in your life today, many of those challenges you never even expected when you woke up. I want to encourage you to “pray without ceasing.” Start your day in prayer, reading God’s Word, and spend the entire day with that line to God OPEN. Prayer demonstrates our dependence on God. When we don’t pray, we are depending on ourselves. John 15:5 tells us, “without me, you can do nothing.” Why be so foolish to try and deal with the day-to-day problems of life alone, when God is ready, willing, and able to help us?

I will be praying for you today. Praying that no matter what problems life may throw your way today, you will find your strength, hope, and answers in the Lord. You will be amazed how much easier every day is when we are operating in His strength and not ours. You will be amazed at how much more peace and joy there is every day, despite the problems of life, when we are relying on God and not ourselves.

This could be one of the most profound words I have ever shared with you because it is so relevant and necessary to our daily lives. The key to knowing God’s peace, joy, and the abundance of this life is by living each day in constant communication with Him. Start your day in prayer and keep that line open ALL DAY LONG. It won’t make the problems of life go away but it is how you can live each day no matter what problems life may throw at you.

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

Bill Keller
