***Prayer***

Dear Lord, let this new day be a reminder that every day is the Lord’s day. Our walk with You is 24/7! Please dear Lord, let me never forget the Biblical Truth that tomorrow is promised to NONE OF US, that each day is a precious gift from You! Guide me through this day oh Lord and use me for Your glory! In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!

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

Oh Lord, I look to YOU today for my strength as I encounter those who hate You, those of us who follow You, and Your Truth!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

Elder abuse of every kind is a sad and growing problem that is getting worse with each passing year! This increasing problem of elder abuse is mainly attributed due to 2 critical societal changes over the last 4 decades. The first is that people are simply living longer, meaning there is an increased population of older people. The second is the same root problem we can trace ALL societal problems to, the destruction of God’s plan for marriage and the family!

With age comes an array of daily challenges from obvious health issues to just navigating the basic issues of daily life. With people living longer there are more people than ever dealing with these obstacles. In the past there were usually close family members who stepped in to assist these elderly relatives. Family members who had ZERO motivation to take advantage of their elderly relative, only to be a blessing to them in those golden years of their life.

Today divorce rates continues to skyrocket. Instead of one wife or one husband, a large percentage of adults have multiple spouses throughout their lives. Instead of the Biblical plan for the family of a husband, a wife, and children, a large percentage of people now have children with multiple spouses in addition to children from a spouses previous marriages or relationships they are raising. Multiple marriages and children from multiple marriages has greatly weakened God’s plan for the family even under the best situations.

Let me take a moment to state that we all wish life was perfect, that we all had lives lived in accordance with God’s plan as He laid out in the Bible. Sadly in this fallen world and due to our own sins that is hard to achieve. Even in the Bible many of God’s choice servants failed to live in accordance with His plan. Obviously for 28 years now Liveprayer deals daily with the REAL LIFE challenges people face in their marriages and relationships with their children.

THE GOOD NEWS MY FRIEND IS THAT EVEN WHEN WE FAIL TO DO IT GOD’S WAY, ONCE WE MAKE HIS WAY OUR PRIORITY FORWARD HE WILL RICHLY BLESS OUR MARRIAGES AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR CHILDREN. THE LORD WILL HELP US TO HEAL AND NAVIGATE THRU THOSE CHALLENGES FROM PAST MARRIAGES AND CHILDREN WE MAY BE ESTRANGED FROM.

As I say often, our way never works long term, but God’s way always does! This is why parents, pastors, and those called to youth ministry need to do their best to encourage and challenge children from as young as 10 on what God’s perfect plan is for marriage and the family. If the tools of satan can LIE to children about how to live their lives, God’s people MUST tell them the TRUTH since It can save them a lifetime of pain and heartache if they will embrace and follow God’s perfect plan!

On the Friday 10/2/26 Liveprayer TV program I dealt in depth with this whole issue of elder abuse. I am talking about physical abuse and sexual abuse, but most prevalent mental and financial abuse! Instead of living out their final years of this life in peace, a huge and growing percentage of our elderly are living out their final years being abused and taken advantage of in every way imaginable.

Please take time to watch this apx. 20 minute segment on this critical issue that begins at the 47:30 mark. Know that for you senior saints I am praying the Lord sends loving, caring, family members of faith who understand that caring for your needs is a true calling and ministry for the Lord. For those senior saints who are not in the best situation currently, I will be praying for the Lord to send Godly, loving people into your life to look after you and care for you needs so that you can enjoy these final days knowing His peace!

***October Financial Update***

Did you know God’s timing is always perfect, even though it is rarely our timing? After 35 years of walking by faith in my service to the Lord, watching God’s faithfulness in my personal life, in the life of the work He has called me to, and in the lives of millions worldwide, I am still just man of flesh and bone and my faith wavers at times. I am not proud to admit this having preached faith daily to millions worldwide. In the end, the Bible is true, God’s promises are real, and He loves us more than we can comprehend.

After over 27 years online and going on 24 years on TV, God is not finished with Liveprayer! WE STILL HAVE WORK TO DO! The last month has been a real test, a test I have honestly failed at times in those wee hours when it is dark, quiet, and it is just you and the Lord. I am humbled that the Lord sent a couple of “rams in the bush” that has helped us clear up the balance of our July shortfall AND the entire August budget for out daily ministry operations. GOD IS GREAT!

We ended September having cleared up our July and August operations. As we begin October, we can now being to work on the $55,000 we requires for September’s budget and the $55,000 we require for October. The good news is for now we are back on solid footing financially and the emergency that threatened to shut down Liveprayer has been averted! satan is a liar and a loser and our God is faithful! AMEN!

Please pray about helping me with a gift in the first days of October. 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 WHAT 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."

Senior saints, are the most under-used and under-appreciated resources in the church today! I want to let you in on a secret. One of the great sources of strength, encouragement, and confidence that I have in my life and ministry, comes from hundreds of senior saints worldwide that pray for me every day.

These are senior men and women that know God intimately because they have been walking with Him for decades. These are senior men and women that know every inch of the Throne room of God because they have spent so much time there. These are senior men and women that have calluses on their knees from spending tens of thousands of hours over their lives in prayer. Knowing that these seasoned veterans of the faith are praying for me each day, is like the security blanket that Linus (of Peanuts fame) always carries around with him.

Sadly, many churches don't give their senior saints the honor and respect that they are due. The reality is, that many of these men and women helped form the foundation of the church. When work needs to be done, they are always there. When projects need to be funded, you can always count on them. When the doors of the church are open, that is where you will always find them. The senior adults are the pillars of the house of God!

However, the greatest contributions that these men and women of God can make is in the SPIRITUAL LIFE of the church. They are great prayer warriors. They know that the altar is not for flower displays, but for people to come and travail before God. They have the experience with God to know that their prayers may not be answered in the first 30 seconds, and will "wait upon the Lord" until He does answer!

They know the Word of God. All you have to do is look at their Bibles to know that they have been read over, and over, and over, and over again! God's Word is the "lamp" unto their feet. These aged warriors also have incredible wisdom about real life. They have lived 60, 70, 80, 90 years on this earth. They have seen and experienced everything that this life has to offer, both good and bad. The church needs to start tapping into the decades of walking with God and the real life experiences that our senior saints have to offer.

For those of you that are struggling with issues in your life today, here is my advice. Men, seek out an older man in the church that will agree to stand with you. Women, you need to seek out an older woman in the church that will stand with you. They can give you great wisdom about life, wise counsel for the problems that you are facing, not to mention call out your name before God each day.

The fact is, these senior men and women are LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES to be used by God. I have several special men in my life that I speak to every week. I spend a good part of my life talking, that is what God has called me to do. But I can assure you that when I am speaking with one of these Godly treasures, I shut up and listen, trying to be like a sponge and absorb all of their wisdom that I can.

I love you and care about you so much. I pray today that the church will recognize this incredibly valuable and underused asset that we have in the Kingdom. So many of our senior men and women have been asked to sit on the sidelines, when they still have so much to offer. I want to encourage the young adults today to love, honor, and respect those older men and women in your life, and MAKE TIME to spend time with them. The greatest gift that you can have in this life is wisdom. That is what you can gain from these senior saints, WISDOM!

Finally, let me say a word to those precious senior saints today. I have a special word for you today. GOD IS NOT THROUGH WITH YOU! Let me say it again. GOD IS NOT THROUGH WITH YOU! You are in a wonderful season of your life where God can use you to be a blessing to so many. You have lived lots of life, gained great wisdom over these many years, and now God wants you to share that wisdom with the next generation.

I read in the Bible how God used many men and women late in their life. The fact is, we NEVER stop serving the Lord. There is NO RETIREMENT from the work of God. So let me encourage you today to look for opportunities to share the great wisdom and experiences of your life with those of the next generation. Your greatest legacy will be in the lives that you touch for the Lord along your journey. God has given you the gift of many days on this earth, and I pray that you will share that gift with as many as you possibly can before God says that your work here is finished and calls you Home.

Thank you for your many years of service to our Lord. May all of us who follow you in the faith, be found as faithful as you have been in our Lord's service!

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Bill Keller
