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

Never forget that all things, not some things, not most things...ALL THINGS are possible with God!!!

***Prayer***

Dear Lord! Today I come to You, asking You to bless the dear people who we faithfully minister to each day. I ask for Your protection, that You meet their every need, and bless them and their families richly. As I have each morning for 27 years now, I commit YOUR work to You this day. May Your Truth in the marketplace, lives be impacted, and souls saved….FOR YOUR GLORY! My life is in Your hands and I simply ask that You use me so you are glorified!!! In the name of Jesus my Lord I pray….AMEN!!!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

Compromising God’s Word. Over 60% of those who call themselves Christian churches are a stench in the nostrils of God! How can that be? Simple, at some point along the way they compromised God’s Word! THEY DECIDED THEY KNEW BETTER THAN GOD HIMSELF!

Compromise usually starts out small, but like sin, once you cross that line there are no more lines! Over the last 50 years virtually all of the old mainline Protestant denominations have split. The cause? COMPROMISE! Instead of leading the culture, many of these churches let the culture lead them!

They bought into the lie that it is a woman’s right to kill her baby if she desires. They bought into the lie that a person could engage in sex with a person of the same sex if that was how they felt. They bought into the lie that it was perfectly acceptable for people of the same sex to get married. They bought into many other lies in contradiction to God’s Holy Word!

During the current meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest mainline denomination, they upheld their stand that women are not Biblically qualified to be pastors. I honestly don’t understand why this was even a debatable issue since God’s Word is CRYSTAL CLEAR that the office of pastor, deacon, and elder can only be held by a man, a man who has not been divorced. If you disagree with that standard you can argue with God, since it is clearly laid out in 1 Timothy 2:11-12 and I Timothy 3:1-7.

For whatever people may say about the Roman Catholic church, despite much pressure they have held firm on this Biblical Truth that only men can be priests. It is also important to note that a woman can serve the Lord in any other capacity and we are blessed to have so many anointed women who do! God created men and women 100% equal, however they have been given different roles to perform.

Just as so many churches have compromised God’s Word, so do many Believers. It is called sin, something we sadly are all susceptible to. Never forget satan is the tempter, he is the great justifier. There is NEVER a justification for sin. Pray daily as you start your day that you will live that day to the best of your ability in accordance with God’s Word!

***June Financial Update***

As we are into June, we ended May with a shortfall of $35,000. I am praying that we can cover the balance of May in the first 2 weeks of June so we can begin working on the $55,000 we require for our June ministry operation. So far we have covered $5,000 of May’s $35,000 shortfall leaving the final $30,000.

That is $85,000 to end June with all of our ministry operation current. Traditionally each year we struggle during the summer months of June, July, and August, but am believing God this year we will have an ABUNDANCE! 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!

Stocks! A great way to help Liveprayer is by donating stock. The transfer can be made in a way you get the full credit for your donation without having to pay any of the taxes you normally would on gains your stocks may have enjoyed. 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

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.” (Psalms 100:4 NIV)

You cannot turn on the news or pick up the newspaper without being bombarded by all of the problems and evil that exists in our world. Each day you are confronted by family members, friends, those you work with or go to school with, that are hurting and going thru a difficult time in their life.

Ninety percent or better of the over 40,000 prayer requests that come into Liveprayer every single day are people who are in pain, fighting the battles everyone fights during the course of their life. The fact is, we are all dealing with problems every day, that is simply part of life.

The worst thing that can happen is when we allow our problems to overwhelm us to the point we forget to be thankful to God. Never forget, no matter what your problems may be today, without God you would have no hope. He is your source of strength when you feel like you can’t go on. He is your source of encouragement when you don’t see any answers. He is your source of hope that tomorrow will be better than today. It is God who loves you when nobody else does, and it is God who will never leave you when everyone else has.

In the midst of whatever your battles may be today, don’t forget to simply say, "Thank you God!!!"

I know this message today may seem very elementary, but it is amazing how when we are under the pressures of daily life, we can often forget the most basic truths. No matter what may be going on in our lives, God deserves our thanks because of who He is. He is God! He is the Creator of the heavens and earth. He is OUR CREATOR!

He loves us unconditionally and cares about us so much. He has given us so many wonderful and special promises in His Word that we can count on. So never let the cares of this brief life keep you from taking the time each day to thank Him.

I realize as you read this, you may be facing a serious health issue, or your marriage may be in trouble, or you are dealing with a huge financial problem, or you need a job, or someone you love has recently died, or you are battling with some sort of addiction, or a myriad of other problems.

It doesn’t matter what your problems may be. Take a few minutes right now, forget about your problems, and simply focus on God. Now, say THANK YOU GOD! Say it again. Again. Again. Tell God you love Him. Tell God you worship and adore Him.

Forget about everything else for a few moments and simply concentrate on God and thank Him!!!

Listen, thanking God is not going to make all of your problems go away. What it will do is bring joy to your heart, peace into your life, and give you a renewed sense of hope as you face the day to day trials life may bring your way. Facing your problems, dealing with your problems become 100 times easier. You get blessed when you thank God! By getting so wrapped up in your problems and not taking the time to thank God you are missing blessings.

I love you and care about you so much. I am guilty so often of not taking the time I should each day to simply stop what I am doing and just spend some time thanking God. It is so easy to focus on what is wrong with our life, that we often forget how much is right with our life. We get so bound by our problems that we forget the simple act of saying thank you to God.

Without Him, there would be no answers, no solutions to our problems and this life would have no purpose and be meaningless and hopeless.

I will be praying for you today. Do me a favor. No, do yourself a favor. Stop whatever you are doing right now. Take the next 3 minutes. That is 180 seconds. Use those 3 minutes to do nothing else but say thank you to God. Thank Him for His love. Thank Him for all the wonderful blessings He bestows on you each day. Thank Him for caring about you. Thank Him for all that He does for you each day. I can assure you that you have MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR!

Take the next 3 minutes and spend it thanking God!!!

The Bible only gives us a brief glimpse of what our eternal existence will be like. One thing we know is that we will be worshipping God our Creator. Now is a good time to start doing that. Each day, we must take time out of our busy lives and simply spend it thanking God. We will always have problems in this life.

That is simply a fact of living in this dark and evil world where so many people live their lives in rebellion to God. But the Bible tells us that when this brief journey is over, “There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

Make sure that no matter what your problems may be, that you never forget to take the time each day to say thank you to God!!!

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Bill Keller
