DAILY DEVOTIONAL THURSDAY FEBRUARY 5, 2026

(Galatians 2:20; 1 Corinthians 6:20; Matthew 16:24-25)

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

No matter what, never run FROM God but always TO God. That is especially true in those moments you are tempted to run from Him!

***Daily Personal Prayer For You***

Dear Lord, Thank You for Your love and blessings. I pray today that You help me to touch even just ONE life for You. If it is a kind act, a kind word, or the opportunity to tell someone about Your love, USE ME TODAY FOR YOUR GLORY! In the name of Jesus...AMEN!!!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

Wednesday morning in a Florida courtroom, in less than 30 minutes Ryan Routh was sentenced to life in prison for trying to kill President Trump. He was hauled out of the courtroom and will never be seen or heard from again. Those who plotted to kill President Trump using Routh as the trigger man will never be held accountable as the cover-up is now complete!

For the 26+ years of writing the Liveprayer Daily Devotional, 23 years of Liveprayer TV next March, I have never trafficked in conspiracy theories. I don’t need to. I simply share FACTS on the issues of the day like when I said COVID came from the lab in Wuhan, or that Jan 6th was a government operation and not a Trump inspired insurrection, both of which proved to be true. Those pushing false narratives would call people like me conspiracy theorists in order to protect the lies they were selling to the general public.

You rarely if EVER hear any longer about either of Trump’s assassination attempts, especially in the corporate media. If this kid Crooks who tried to kill Trump in Butler, PA was the lone wolf we have been told, EVEN BY PATEL AND QUITTER BONGINO, why do we still know ZERO about him, his family, who he was communicating with in the months and weeks prior to the assassination attempt? In roughly 2 seconds after he fired his shots a sniper killed him with one shot. It reminded me of how they used Jack Ruby to execute Lee Harvey Oswald on live TV in the garage of the Dallas PD. Dead men tell no tales!

Why did they leave Crooks body on that roof overnight? Why do we know NOTHING of the autopsy done by 2 Medical Examiners? Why did they immediately cremate the remains? Could the answer to these legitimate questions be because it was a government backed assassination attempt to kill Donald Trump. I SAY YES IT WAS!

When that failed you have this clown Ryan Routh who was set up in a snipers nest on the 6th hole of a Trump golf course in West Palm Beach just weeks later. By the grace of God a Secret Service agent saw the barrel of the gun sticking through the bushes. Routh escaped but was soon captured on a freeway thanks to an alert citizen. My guess is without that person they would have let Routh escape and never be found.

After taking out Crooks, it would have been too messy to kill Routh so what did they do. He clearly was an odd person with some screw loose. So they put on a show trial where the government didn’t have to put up ONE PIECE of real evidence to get a conviction. So now Routh is buried deep in the bowels of the Federal Prison System never to be heard of again, and at some point they will probably tie up this loose end by using an inmate to kill him like they did Whitey Bulger.

Again, we know NOTHING of the details of Routh, his life, how he was able to try to build a mercenary force in Ukraine to fight the Russians that clearly would have put him on the radar, in not in connection with the CIA. We know zero about his electronics even though he had over 18 cell phones, computers, yet we know nothing. Was this another attempt by rogue elements of our government to kill Trump. Once again I SAY IT WAS! Pray my friends since elements of our own government are as evil as the greatest evils that exist in the world today!

***February Financial Update***

After covering the balance of our 2025 shortfall, we were able to take care of the first $10,000 of our January operations leaving the final $45,000 to end January with all of our ministry operations current. I am praying we can clear that balance up in the first week of February so we can begin working on the $55,000 we require for our February ministry operations. 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!

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

In our narcissistic, "What's in it for me?" culture, we have learned how to market salvation to the masses like we do cell phones, cars, and hamburgers. In our zeal to win people for Christ, we have been very careful to focus on the benefits of salvation, making sure people understood all the reasons why this is a good choice, while being too afraid to tell them the WHOLE plan of salvation. We sell salvation just like the late-night infomercials sell weight-loss pills, whipping people into an emotional frenzy by hyping all the benefits of getting saved, but never explaining to them the FULL COST of getting saved. The "fine print" in the salvation message is not what we get but what we GIVE!

I am saddened when I hear people share the Gospel, giving people an invitation to know Christ, but never really explain what a person is actually doing. Please don't misunderstand me, I am grateful for everyone who shares the Gospel, gives people the opportunity to come to know Christ as their Savior, but my point today is that we MUST tell them the complete truth about what they are doing. When a person makes the decision to accept Christ into their heart and life by faith, they are surrendering their life to Him. It is called giving your heart and life to Jesus because that is exactly what you are doing. From that moment on, your life no longer belongs to you, it belongs to Jesus. That is the critical part of the salvation message so many fail to tell people.

We are quick to point out that if you accept Jesus you will have the assurance of everlasting life with God your Creator. That is true. It is our faith in Christ, the One who died for our sins that allows us to be reconciled with a Holy God and know that when our brief journey through life is over we will be with Him for all eternity. We also make sure people understand the tremendous benefits of being saved. At that moment, the Holy Spirit indwells a Believer to supply them with the power of Almighty God. By accepting Christ as your Savior you have peace and joy in your life that is impossible to know otherwise. You come to realize that your life has meaning and purpose and experience the abundance of this life that Jesus promised. All of these things are true and need to be pointed out.

It is easy to see why people would want to be saved. Most people on the planet can accept that there is a Supreme Being or God out there. It is not hard for anyone who is honest to admit they have sinned, so asking for your sins to be forgiven makes sense. Even the heathen with the hardest heart will admit that one day he will die. Everyone knows that is a day each one of us will face. So, accepting Jesus by faith to have the assurance that when this life is over you will go to Heaven and not Hell is a logical choice to make. To also have the Holy Spirit living within you, know a special peace and joy, have a purpose in life and experience its abundance, all makes the decision to accept Christ very attractive and really something only a foolish person would turn down.

To people make that eternal choice to accept Jesus by faith and nothing really changes. They wake up the next morning in the same bed, the same house. They have the same family and friends. They go to the same school and have the same job. They have all the same problems they did the night before, and maybe even a few new ones. They do all the same things. Even though the Bible proclaims that they are "Born again," that they are a "New creature in Christ," that the "Old has passed away," their real, practical, day-to-day lives have not changed. This is why so many people who accept Christ are truly saved, but they never grow in their new faith and many of them see very little change in their life from BS (before being saved), to AS (after being saved).

The reason is when they got saved, what was left out or never really explained to them was the complete story of accepting Christ as their Savior. The part of the salvation experience that is often left out and never properly explained to people is the fact that when you accept Christ into your heart and life by faith you are giving your life to Him. It is an act of sacrifice and surrender, two words that most people want no part of. That is why this most critical element of what it means to be saved is never really spoken about. The bottom line is, when you get saved you are surrendering your life to Jesus Christ. Your life no longer belongs to you, it belongs to the Lord. Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice when He literally gave His life in payment for your sins, and when you get saved, you are making a sacrifice of your life to Him.

This is so important since it goes to the very core of what being a Christian, a follower of Christ, is all about. We have sacrificed, surrendered our life to Jesus. Our life is no longer our own but now belongs to Him. All we do, where we go, everything regarding our life is now in the Lord's control. When you get saved, you are literally giving Him your life. That is why so many who know Christ live without His peace, without His joy, without any real purpose, without the victory, because they have refused to fully surrender their lives to Him. That is why most of the false religions of the world are so popular. You simply accept their false teachings but you can still live your life anyway you want to. When you become a follower of Jesus, your very life now belongs to Him.

I love you and care about you so much. That is why even though Liveprayer reaches a massive audience each day through the Internet and on TV and we have people accepting Christ as their Savior every single day, we do our very best to first make sure they understand that in asking Jesus into their heart and life by faith they are literally surrendering their life to Him, that their life now belongs to Jesus. We send them a booklet that helps guide them in the basics of their new faith, things like reading the Bible and praying every day. We do our best to work with local churches to get people plugged in so they can be properly discipled and start to grow in their new faith.

When a person is saved, there is a supernatural change that happens to them spiritually. It is now critical for that person to understand that their life will never be the same again, that they are different now, and to help them begin the process of transforming their mind and day-to-day life to be a true follower of Christ. That doesn't happen overnight, but over time. It is that process of sanctification, or becoming more like Christ, that begins at the moment a person is saved and continues to their very last breath. It is vital that each person who knows Christ is not only being discipled by someone more mature in the faith at all times, but that they are giving of themselves to disciple someone who is younger in the faith at all times. We can only grow in our faith as we are helped along by those who are more mature, and we have that same responsibility to help those who are younger in the faith grow in their relationship with the Lord.

I will be praying for you today. Praying that as you share the Gospel with people like our Lord has commanded all of His children to do, that you will clearly highlight the benefits of being saved, but not leave out the fact that being saved also includes surrendering our very lives to the Lord. We are actually cheating people by NOT telling them the whole story, since our purpose in life, the fullness of our peace and joy in knowing Christ, the true abundance of this life, can never be fully experienced unless we have unconditionally surrendered our life to Christ. Getting saved is not just about what we get, but it is also about what we GIVE-our life to Jesus Christ!
