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

Warn those in your life of the dangers of street drugs today, the majority being laced with deadly fentanyl.

As people are already starting to receive their tax refunds, many receiving much more than expected due to the Trump tax cuts, please be praying about sending a tithe to God’s work here at Liveprayer to me save souls off of that tax refund! Amen!

***Daily Personal Prayer For You***

Dear Lord, help me this day to be a great ambassador for You! Let my conversation and my actions today draw people to Your hope and love. In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

Obama’s victory mosque! I get emails every week, especially from those in the Liveprayer family who live in the Chicagoland area, asking about the monstrosity on the south side that will be the home of the Obama Presidential Library. This has been a controversial project since it was announced due to the location being a very popular local park on the lakefront.

The outrage has been the architecture of the building. I could never do justice to what this building looks like, so I encourage you to Google “Pictures of Obama Presidential Library.” Some say it looks like a prison, while others have struggled to describe it. Let me clear up the confusion. the Obama Presidential Library has been built in the tradition of a Muslim victory mosque!

While it has not been announced, I will guarantee you 1,000% that there will be an actual operating mosque in this building!

The cost of Obama’s Victory Mosque was originally $800 million dollars, but by the time it is completed the cost will be double that amount. The project was supposed to be completed 2 years ago and is still well over a year from being completed. One reason for the cost overrun has been literally putting the words of Obama’s 2015 speech in Selma, Alabama to mark the 50 year anniversary of the civil rights movement carved into the structure. The have literally carved the words into the architecture and certain letters like L’s and T’s aren’t legible adding to the confusion of this monument to Islam.

Just like Obama himself, his Presidential Library is a mystery to most. Why do we still not know how Obama got into Occidental College, Columbia University, and Harvard Law? Those applications would tell us much about this usurper who not just came out of nowhere to become President for 8 years, but he ran the country during the 4 years of the illegitimate Biden Administration. Obama did more to destroy this country in those 4 years than anyone could have imagined. Who paid for his college tuition? Why were the writings of the first black head of the Harvard Law Review sealed so nobody could read what he wrote?

I wish there were heroes in the Trump Administration who would “leak” some of these documents to the media, you know like the deep state does all the time to advance their agenda. I would LOVE to see his passport records, again, all sealed from the public. This country deserves to know the truth about this man who was a creation of global elites with the goal being to destroy the United States. As horrendous as the Obama Presidential Library may look, it is nothing compared to the irreparable damage this man has done to our country!

***February Financial Update***

After covering the balance of our 2025 shortfall, we have been able to take care of $30,000 of our January shortfall leaving the final $25,000 to end January with all of our ministry operations current. I am praying we can clear that balance so we can begin working on the $55,000 we require for our February ministry operations. That is $80,000 to end the month with all of our financials current. PRAISE THE LORD!

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!

Stocks! A great way to help Liveprayer is by donating stock. 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

One of the things I love about reading the accounts of the ministry of Jesus was the fact He never lost sight of what He had come to do. He came to preach the Good News to the lost and hurting of the world. His ministry was NOT in the church of His day, but was to those outside of the church. Jesus took His message of hope into the streets to those who were living without God in their life, telling them that there was a better way to live. JESUS HAD SPIRITUAL GUTS!

Today, more than ever, we need men and women of God with those same spiritual guts. The church has become institutionalized and satisfied with the status quo. Forty years ago, it was simply a matter of opening the front door and the people would come. That is not true in 2019.

We have a large percentage of 2 full generations now that do not attend church. Children that grew up in homes void of God are now having their own children, which of course, will also grow up in homes void of God. The world that we live in continues each day to boldly present a message that is in direct opposition to the Truth of God's Word.

Sadly, rather than going out and challenging that ungodly message, the church has decided to withdraw from the world and isolate itself. Rather than being the salt and light God has called us to be, we have found it more "comfortable" to simply withdraw and stay to ourselves. We feel safe in our churches since we are with "our own kind."

We have our OWN TV stations. We have our OWN radio stations. We have our OWN books and magazines. We have our OWN music. We have our OWN schools. Rather than using these great resources to reach the lost, we have found it is much easier (and more profitable) to simply "preach to the choir" and isolate ourselves from the rest of the world.

This message today is a wake-up call to men and women who love the Lord. God did not call us to isolate ourselves from this world, but to go out into the world and share the hope and love of Jesus Christ. I have never seen so many people that are afraid of the world that we live in. Did you not read in the Bible in 1 John 4:4 that tells you, "greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world?"

Did you not read in the Bible that we are "more than conquerors?" Did you not read in the Bible that we are called to go out into the "highways" and invite the lost to know Christ? God did not call us to hide our light under a bushel, but to share that light with this dark world we live in! God is looking for men and women with "spiritual guts" to take His message to the lost and hurting of this world.

I love you and care about you so much. There is a world outside of the four walls of the church that is lost, hurting, and looking for answers. They won't come to church, watch Christian TV, listen to Christian radio and music, read Christian books and magazines, or go to Christian schools.

To reach these people, we have to do what Jesus did and GO TO THEM. Understand that when you take Christ into the world, they will not always be nice. They have lived their life rejecting God so most likely will not be open to your message. But never forget that your labor for the Lord is not in vain.

Even those who reject what you are saying have at least had a seed planted in their life. God will allow you to minister to people that are at a place in their life where they realize there has to be a better way. They WILL be open to accepting Christ as their Savior and changing their life. Jesus told us that the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

The church has forgotten the most important part of being a Christian, and that is we are here to serve, NOT be served. We are like Eli, sitting in our grand palaces, getting so fat that we can't even move. God has called us to rise up and take His message of Christ's love to the lost and hurting of this world we live in. That my friend, takes spiritual guts!!!

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

Bill Keller
