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

Jesus loves you and it is His good pleasure to bless you today!

THANK YOU to everyone who has been praying and those able to help me with a gift recently. We have cleared up the balance of our February shortfall, PRAISE THE LORD! That means we can start working on the $55,000 from our March ministry operations and then our April’s finances. That is $110,000 over the last 2 weeks of April to end the month with all of our ministry operations current. OUR GOD IS ABLE! AMEN!

*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!

***Prayer***

Dear Lord, help me to get through this day and the challenges that I will be facing today. Guide me, strengthen me, and give me wisdom as I make choices throughout this day. Please watch over my family and those I love in this world, and keep them safe. I love You Lord, and depend upon You each moment of each day. Bless me as I go through the day, living my life for Your glory. In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

Mississippi is one of the states that has banned abortion. However, their challenge is the same as other states like Texas who have also banned abortion, the home abortion pill! Recently Planned Parenthood bragged about performing a record number of baby murders in their last year of reporting. They count sending out the home abortion pill in their numbers even though they refuse to give the exact breakdown of abortions by the home pill versus killing babies at their clinics. However, national numbers state that apx. 65% of abortions are now being performed by the home abortion pill.

In the aftermath of the overturning of Roe vs. Wade several years ago, I warned the Liveprayer family that while it is a great victory and we are thankful that after 50 yrs the Federal government is no longer in the baby killing business, it was now an issue for each state to deal with. The very dangerous home abortion pill was just becoming more popular when COVID hit, and due to the shutdowns and extreme measures instituted during those few years the use of the pill exploded. Mailing these pills into states that have banned abortion is now the battleground in the fight for life. PRAY!

***April Financial Update***

Praise the Lord! Thanks for many of our friends stepping up we have finally cleared up the balance of our February shortfall. Now we can work on the $55,000 we required for our March ministry operations and the $55,000 we will require during April. That is $110,000 to end April with all of our finances current. OUR GOD IS ABLE!

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!

*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

As you can imagine, the vast majority of the 40,000+ emails for prayer we get every single day here at Liveprayer are from people fighting the battles of this life. Relationship problems, health issues, financial concerns, some sort of bondage, the death of someone they loved, legal cases, employment and school issues, the entire gamut of battles we all face during our journey through this life. Most people are looking to God for their hope and strength knowing that He is their answer. However, many come ready to give up, to quit.

My friend, let me share a word with you this morning that I pray will encourage you as you fight your daily battles. I realize guys like Tony Robbins and the self-help gurus make millions to tell people what I am about to share with you for free. It may seem like a very simple and basic word, but when you fully comprehend it, it can be the difference between you living a defeated life or living a life of VICTORY.

***When you face the battles of this life, it is easy to quit. It takes no skill to give up. The spineless and gutless run. Cowards are people who when faced with life's challenges, let fear paralyze them into doing nothing. When you face the battles of this life, it takes courage to fight. It takes guts to face the battles life brings our way and not back down. VICTORY ONLY COMES TO THOSE WHO ARE BRAVE ENOUGH TO STAND AND FIGHT! YOU CAN'T WIN IF YOU DON'T FIGHT!

The key is knowing that our strength to fight comes from the Lord. It is our faith in Christ that gives us the ability to stand and fight the battles of this life. When Goliath was taunting the armies of Israel, the mighty men of Israel's army cowered in their tents as the heathen giant blasphemed God. They simply lacked the faith in God to fight this Philistine warrior. David, a mere shepherd boy did not hesitate for a second to take on Goliath. He had no doubt that he would win because the Lord was with him. David had FAITH that God would lead him to victory and armed with that faith, he went out and slew the giant!

How many of you today cower in your homes in the face of great battles that need to be fought? Others who are facing those exact same battles, are out there living in victory because they exercised their faith in Christ!

You see, what it boils down to is having the faith in the Lord that He will help you fight and get victory over whatever battles life may throw your way. Jesus told His disciples that in this world they would have trials and tribulations. He then went on to tell them to "be of good cheer" because He had already overcome this world. What that means is that as you put your hope and faith in Christ, He will give you the strength to stand and fight the battles of life and be victorious.

I love you and care about you so much. I know many of you are facing great battles in your life. I am honored that God has allowed me to be here each day to stand with you and help encourage you to not quit, but keep fighting. My word for you today is that there is VICTORY IN JESUS! He is your hope, He is your strength, and when you trust the Lord, He will lead you to victory over whatever battle you may have to face during this life. When you have Christ, the ONLY way to lose is to quit.

I will be praying for you today. Praying that you will be encouraged to keep pressing on in fighting the battles you are facing today and will face tomorrow. If you know Christ as your Savior, He will give you the strength to not only stand and fight, but to be victorious. It is easy to quit, it takes courage to fight. "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong." (1 Corinthians 16:13 NIV)

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Bill Keller
