***Prayer***

Father, I pray, today, for each person who is reading these words. You know exactly where they are at today financially. I pray that whatever they have today is multiplied many times over in the coming weeks and months. Bless them in the area of their finances, Father, so that they may not only care for their day-to-day needs of those they are responsible for, but so that they may feed the poor around the world, those who are materially poor as well as those who are spiritually poor. I pray today, a prayer of BLESSING on the finances of the person reading these words. Whatever we have in this life comes from You and is Yours Father. May we be faithful in managing what You have given to us. Multiply many times over what You have currently given to the person reading this word today and allow them to be a great blessing to the work of God throughout the world. I pray BLESSINGS over the finances of the person reading these words today for the glory of Almighty God. In the name of Jesus. Amen!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

On Tuesday of this week, the House Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government was hearing testimony regarding the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE ACT). Republicans held the hearing to hold the Biden Administration accountable for using this law to prosecute praying grandmothers who were said to be blocking abortion clinic entrances.

By the way, this same FACE ACT protects churches from those using force, threats, or physical obstruction to intimidate or interfere with anyone exercising their First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of worship. This is why Don Lemon and those who invaded that Christian church service in St. Paul, Minnesota a few months ago are looking at prison time for their violation of the FACE ACT. I wonder why they didn’t invade a Muslim prayer service?

A woman named Jessica L. Waters was on the panel being question by the House Committee this past Tuesday. Waters is a senior scholar in residence at American University Washington College of Law. She specializes in the legal impacts of reproductive health policy and was appearing as an advocate for “reproductive rights,” which of course is weasel language for being an advocate for the slaughter of innocent babies!

One of the Republican members of this House Subcommittee is Brandon Gill who represents a district that includes part of Metro Dallas and Ft. Worth. When it was his turn to question the panel, he asked Waters what her favorite method of abortion was. He then took the time to describe the three most common ways a baby is murdered, and after describing each method asked Waters if that was her preferred way to murder an innocent life.

Waters refused to answer his question after he described each method used to kill a baby. On the video you will be able to see her face twisted, refusing to look at Rep. Gill, dodging his legitimate questions by stating she was there to advocate for women’s reproductive rights, again, to advocate for women to be able to kill their innocent baby! Her facial contortions were like watching a true demon of satan being confronted with truth that what she supported and advocated for was “barbaric and evil!”

Please take the less than 3 minutes it requires to watch this confrontation of good versus evil, the truth versus the lie, someone clearly advocating for the Lord versus someone advocating for satan!

***Mat Financial Update***

Praise the Lord! Thanks to the prayers and sacrifice of many friends along with a special gift, we have covered our March shortfall AND our April ministry operations one week early!!! WE SERVE A GREAT AND MIGHTY GOD!!! We enter May with all of our ministry operations current and will be praying as the Lord moves on the hearts of friends like you to insure we cover the $55,000 we require for our May ministry operations!

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

Working together for God. One of the first lessons I learned early in my ministry is that there is no person, NO PERSON who can do God's work alone. Not only can no person do God's work alone, God never intended for us to even try. God has given each of us unique and special gifts for which to serve Him. Some people are more gifted than others, but there is no one that has all of God's gifts. Some of the most successful sports teams in history have been teams where there were no real superstars, but teams where everyone did their job and played their role.

In a movie, there may be some actors that are more prominent than others, but it takes the entire cast to make the movie successful. More than that, it takes the behind-the-scenes people, such as make-up artists, set designers, writers, producers, technical people all working together to make a successful movie. The point I want you to understand is that God's people must work together for significant things to happen in the lives of people.

As an evangelist, it is always a wonderful moment when someone comes to the altar at the time of invitation to accept Christ as their Savior. After one service early in my ministry, there were hundreds who made that commitment and afterwards I was feeling a sense of personal pride for the souls that had just been won for Christ. Well, the Holy Spirit got hold of me real quick and we had a little meeting. Not quite a woodshed meeting, but close.

God showed me clearly that when a person makes that commitment, the evangelist, the one who gives the invitation, is just the last piece of the puzzle. Over the years, many people had prayed for that person. Seeds were planted in many cases over a lifetime by family, friends, Christian media, street preachers, books, articles, and just a variety of ways that God shows himself to this unbelieving world.

We often never see the fruits of our prayers or work for God, but our obedience is used as building blocks in the lives of people, that at the right time, at that right moment, are realized as the Holy Spirit brings it all together in a person's heart and they make the most important decision we can make in this life...by the grace of God and through faith accept Christ as our Savior.

This ties in with what I am talking about today. We must all work together. We must be faithful to use the gifts God has blessed us with to further His Kingdom. We must use the strengths and gifts of others to see the fruit of our work for God. Here at Liveprayer, we are touching tens of thousands of lives every single day around the world.

It takes our prayer warriors who faithfully pray for this ministry every day as we are going right into the front door of the enemies headquarters on the Internet and leading souls to faith in Jesus. It takes the gifts of our technical people to keep the website, the “live” TV program, the mailing of our Daily Devotional, all of those functions operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It takes the Godly wisdom of our ministry team who responds in a personal way to the apx. 40,000 prayer requests we get daily via email. It takes the resources of those who God has blessed to support His work here at Liveprayer and keep it growing.

I never forget for a second that God has brought together many, many talented and wonderful people to make His ministry work each and every day and to be a beacon of light and hope to people worldwide!!!

My prayer for you is that you never forget that it takes all of us working together to make things work in the Kingdom of God. I pray that you will use your talents each and every day to help further His work at home, school, work, in your church, community, and all the places God has placed you. When God's people work together, there are no limits to what can be accomplished in His name and for His glory!

Please continue to pray as we continue the work God called us to 27 years ago and pray about helping me with the most generous gift you are able this month as we press on towards the prize!!!
