The communist takeover of the United States! Historically, it took until the early 1900s before our nation began to see the rise of organized groups looking to push Marxism, socialism, and communism into our politics. From our founding in the 1770s and the war for independence from Britain that actually ended in 1814 with the Treaty of Ghent, it was only a few decades later that the Civil War broke out over the issue of slavery. The end of the Civil War was in 1865 as the nation began a period of healing and reconstruction.

It was just 3 decades later in 1901 that the Socialist Party of America was established through a merger of the Social Democratic Party of America and members of the Socialist Labor Party. Sparked by the success of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, the Communist Party of America was established in 1919 by radical left-wing members who split from the Socialist Party of America.

In the early 1950s after World War 2, the Soviet Union was looking to expand its power and influence around the world. This ushered in the McCarthy era, also referred to as the Red Scare. It was a period of intense anti-communist fear lead by Senator Joseph McCarthy. This period was marked by aggressive government investigations, ruined reputations, and widespread public panic of communists seeking to overthrow the government from within.

Due to the great freedoms we enjoy from our Constitution, we have seen the rise of the American Nazi Party in the 1930s, and there has always been organized socialist and communist groups since the early 1900s. These groups became very visible during the turbulent 1960s and 1970s, but faded back into the background as the powerful Regan economy took hold in the 1980s.

Fast forward to the year 2026 and these extreme groups still exist in our country. The good news is they have never had much support from the public. They are only noticed because they are loud and offer extreme solutions to the problems of the day, but their numbers have always been negligible and have never gained popularity with the overall population due to their radical beliefs.

IT IS CRITICAL TO POINT OUT THAT THESE MARXIST, SOCIALIST, AND COMMUNIST GROUPS ARE ALSO ATHEISTS!!!

Added to these radical political ideologies in the 1920s you saw the first alliance between communism and Islam in some Soviet regions. This unholy union referred to as the Red (Communism)/Green (Islam) Alliance had real success in 1978 and 1979 during the Iranian Revolution.

So here we are in the year 2026 with people like former President Barack Hussein Obama, Senator Bernie Sanders, Rep. AOC, streamer Hasan Piker, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, candidate for Wisconsin Governor Francesca Hong, candidate for a House seat in Colorado Melat Kiros, and NY House candidates Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila-Chevalier to name a few.

*As a side, this is why I have long advocated that anyone holding elected office at any level, city, county, state, or Federal MUST be born in the USA. This would also apply to ALL judges!

Today we are witnessing a true alliance between Islamists and communists/socialists. The difference between now and the last 120 years here in the US is this alliance is now looking to take over one of the major political parties. Rather than running as minority parties, they have set their sights on hijacking the Democratic Party and for millions of Democrats who would never think of voting for the radical ideas they hold, voting for them because they will have a D next to their name.

I have been warning the nation for over the 27 years of Liveprayer.com and the 23 years of the Liveprayer TV program that we MUST get on our knees, repent of our sins, and turn back to God and His Truth found in the Bible. If we don’t, God will unleash His wrath and judgment on our land like he did many times when the children of Israel turned their back on Him and suffered His punishment for many generations!

If you read the OT, God often used the enemies of Israel and His instruments of judgment. Clearly those who hold the beliefs and ideology in the Red/Green Alliance are enemies of the United States. It is not a stretch to see how God, who puts men in power and takes men out of power, could allow these true demons to rise to power as a form of His judgment on our sinful and rebellious people.

The question is, will God’s people rise up and take our stand for righteousness, or will we wallow in our sin until God’s grace and mercy runs out and we experience His wrath...for many generations to come???

***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

***August Financial Update***

Thank you to those who were able to help me with a gift during July! Over July we finally covered the balance of our May operations and received the first $15,000 of our June ministry operations. We ended July requiring the final $40,000 from June and the $55,000 for July’s operations. I am praying in the first weeks of August we can cover that $95,000 shortfall so we can begin working on the $55,000 we will require during our anniversary month of August.

Traditionally each year we struggle during the summer months of June, July, and August, so I can really use your help especially in this first week of August with that $105,000 getting seriously past due! OUR GOD IS ABLE!!

*27TH ANNIVERSARY MONTH! As we head into August, our 27th 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.

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!

According to the CDC, suicide rates are the highest it's been in decades! I have talked to you many times about the fact 22 people in our military or military vets take their life every day! We are now facing an epidemic of teen suicides. Netflix recently had a program about a teen girl taking her life, “13 Reasons Why.” In the months since that program aired, there has been a rash of suicides of young males between 10 and 18. Never forget, satan has come to “kill, steal, and destroy!” Suicide is the work of satan!!!

One of the saddest things that I have to deal with every single day is the tragedy of someone taking their own life. The fact is, right now there are people reading these words who are actually contemplating killing themselves. If this is you, or if you have had thoughts of killing yourself, know that it is no accident you are reading these words today. God is trying to speak to you, so please, LISTEN TO HIM!

You see my friend, God not only loves you very much, but He is the one who gave you your life and wants you to live. It is satan who wants you dead! Never forget that satan has come to what, KILL, steal, and destroy!

Satan wants you dead! The thoughts you have of killing yourself don't come from God, they come from satan. He is the one telling you that you would be better off dead. He is the one who is telling you that you should just give up and kill yourself. He is the one who is telling you that the best answer to your problems is to take your life. He is the one who is telling you that everyone else will be better off if you were dead. He is the one who is telling you that your life is meaningless and it is not worth living any longer.

SATAN IS A LIAR! In John 8:44, Jesus tells us that he is the "father of lies," that when he speaks, he "speaks his native language," LYING! The thoughts you have of killing yourself are coming directly from the pits of hell, from the very lips of that liar satan!

God on the other hand wants you to LIVE! God is Truth! It is God who is telling you to live. It is God who loved you so much He sent His very Son to die for your sins. It is God who is telling you to cast your cares on Him and let Him see you through those difficult times. It is God who says you are not alone, that He will never leave you nor forsake you. It is God who is telling you that your life has meaning and purpose. It is God who is telling you that He has given you life and life abundantly. It is God who is telling you to trust Him and LIVE!

So what this really boils down to is who do you listen to, satan, who is a liar, or God, who speaks Truth? Seriously, if you are having thoughts of killing yourself or if you have ever had thoughts of killing yourself, you have got to understand where those thoughts are coming from and ultimately make the choice who you are going to listen to. If you are having thoughts of killing yourself today, or if you have ever had those thoughts, make sure you take a moment to ask yourself the critical question of who you are going to listen to, satan, a liar who wants you dead, or God, who represents Truth and wants you to live.

Now let me answer one of the most asked questions I get each day. Killing yourself does NOT keep you from Heaven, the only thing that keeps you from Heaven is rejecting Christ as your Savior. *THIS DOES NOT MEAN IT IS OK TO KILL YOURSELF OR A PASS TO COMMIT SUICIDE!!! Make no mistake, killing yourself IS a sin. To even think of suicide is rebelling against God. However, the ONLY sin that will send you to hell is rejecting Christ. If you have truly accepted by faith Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and you commit suicide, you will spend eternity with God your Creator.

The reason suicide is a sin is because it is God who gives us life for the purpose of serving and glorifying Him, and it is ONLY God who can say when our work here on earth is finished. Remember, if you accept Him into your heart it is NOT your life any longer, it belongs to Him. That means it is NOT your right to end your life. That right only belongs to God. Suicide is an act of rebellion towards God!

I know there are some people who erroneously believe that if you kill yourself you can't go to Heaven since you died without repenting of that sin. According to that erroneous theology, if you commit a sin, have a massive heart attack and die instantly without confessing that sin you committed prior to dying you would be lost for all eternity. Sorry, but that is simply not what the Bible teaches.

Some may ask, what are the consequences of the sin of suicide since it ends your life? One of the consequences of all sin is it keeps us from enjoying our relationship with the Lord. Sin keeps us from being all God wants us to be. Sin keeps us from knowing the joy, the peace, the abundance the Lord promised to us in this life.

Those who commit suicide have already allowed the enemy to blind them to God's love, otherwise, they would never make such a horrible choice. Someone who commits this act misses the fulfillment of God's perfect plan for their life. It is a very sad way to end this wonderful journey, and a way God never intended!

Suicide is really nothing more than an act of cowardice and is one of the most selfish things anyone can ever do. Despite all the reasons that satan the liar gives you to kill yourself, it really boils down to the fact that only a coward chooses this course of action. Rather than deal with the problems of life, fight through them, work towards victory in the power God can give you, you chose instead to simply stop living altogether. That my friend is a coward's answer to their problems.

Suicide is also one of the most selfish acts a person can commit. One of the great lies satan feeds a person thinking about killing themselves is that their family and friends would be better off if they were dead.

The truth is, a people who kills themselves leave behind family and friends, who in many cases, spend the rest of their life carrying around unnecessary guilt over what role they may have played in causing the person the loved and cared about to kill themselves. I deal daily with family members and friends of a person who has committed suicide and they experience tremendous guilt over what they may have done to force their loved one or friend into taking their life.

*To you family members and friends of someone who has committed suicide, YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT THEY CHOSE TO DO! They, not you, made this sad and tragic choice. So please, don't put yourself under the unnecessary burden of carrying around guilt from something you didn't cause and didn't do.

Let me speak directly to anyone who may be contemplating suicide this very moment. It is God who gives us this precious gift we call life. Dealing daily with some of the most incredible human situations you can ever imagine, I understand the pain, the difficulty, the hopelessness so many live with each day. It is always at the lowest points in our life when the enemy attacks us. Like with everything, there are always scenarios, always circumstances we can point to, but sin is sin, and no amount of justification changes that. THERE IS ALWAYS AN ANSWER OTHER THAN SIN!!!!

I love you, and I care about you more than you will ever know. The pain I feel daily as I walk with you in your time of need is sometimes overwhelming. But I keep the truth and promise of God's Word in my heart, and the hope and love we have in Christ in my every thought. I will be praying today for you, that you will never even consider suicide as an option. IT IS NOT AN OPTION BECAUSE YOUR LIFE BELONGS TO GOD. Only God can say when it is over.

Instead of focusing on the lies of the enemy, on the pain and the circumstances in your life, look instead to the Truth we find in God's Word, the promises and hope we have in Christ and the fact God will ALWAYS give us a path of escape. God has a wonderful and perfect plan for your life. The key is you have to be alive for that plan to unfold. Don't ever take this wonderful gift of life for granted, because it will be over soon enough. In the meantime, we need to be focused on what it is God wants from our life, what it is God wants us to accomplish each day for Him.

Let me leave with you two powerful truths from God's Word. The first is, He loves you so very much. The second is, He is a God of answers. Embrace His love for you today, and let Him help you find the answers to those questions you have. There is only one option if you know Christ as your savior and that is to LIVE for Him.

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Bill Keller
