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

The Lord will always be with you in your hour of need! He will never leave you nor forsake you!

*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***

Oh Lord, help me today to pick up my mantle, whatever You have deemed that to be, and be faithful. Give me Your strength to be all that You have called me to be, and to lead in whatever capacity I have been called to for this season. It is time for Your children, men, women, young adults, to rise up and be counted for YOU in these last days. Guide me oh great Jehovah as I live and lead for YOU! In the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ I pray…AMEN!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

Lots of good news! The Virginia Congressional map that is currently 6-5 in favor of Democrats that they tried to make a 10-1 Democrat favorable map is NOT going to be accepted. The Virginia Supreme Court has yet to issue a final ruling but they missed the statutory date for the new map to go into effect for the November midterms.

Due to Texas, Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, and Tennessee eliminating racially configured districts after the Supreme Court declared they were unconstitutional, this will net the Republicans apx. 12 additional House seats that could be the difference in keeping the House this November.

Recent court rulings and aggressive actions by the DOJ is about to expose for the world to see the fact Georgia was literally stolen by the Democrats for Biden in 2020 by their criminal operations in Fulton County (Atlanta). A judge ruled the FBI was legally entitled to seize the 2020 ballots and election documents that will prove their was fraud in Georgia’s biggest county to give the state to Biden.

This steal and 6 years of cover-up was facilitated by Republican Trump-haters Governor Brian Kemp, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and ex-Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan who is now a Democrat. Kemp actually worked with failed Gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams to cover up the stolen election!

The DOJ has subpoenaed the names and contact info from all election workers in Fulton County during the 2020 election. I can assure you these low level people who were used to facilitate the steal will NOT go to prison for Abrams, Kemp, or anyone else. They will eagerly tell all they know to Federal authorities. By the way, remember on election night in November of 2020 President Trump was up by 300,000 votes when they stopped the count because of a “water main break” at the facility where they were counting?

THERE WAS NO WATER MAIN BREAK AND THEY KEPT INSERTING FAKE BALLOTS ALL NIGHT UNTIL THEY HAD ENOUGH FOR BIDEN TO WIN!

Also, in South Florida there have been several grand juries meeting for months now as they are preparing to bring forth a massive Continuing Criminal Enterprise prosecution that is usually used in major drug and mob cases. My guess is the indictment will include apx 30-40 people who have been involved in a decade worth of crimes to try and take down Donald Trump.

Those indicted will all be names you have come to know over the years like Comey, McCabe, Clapper, Brennan, Susan Rice, Strzok, Page,and a host of others. I also expect to see some supposed journalists who were critical co-conspirators in perpetuating these crimes. DO NOT BE SHOCKED IF THE LEAD ON THE INDICTMENT WILL BE FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA! THERE IS NO IMMUNITY FOR A PRESIDENT COMMITTING CRIMINAL ACTS!!!

This is all good news my friend. Be praying since the DOJ is going after the most powerful of the current deep state actors to cripple the ability these evil people have to destroy our country with their radical globalist policies, taking away their raw power and the trillions of dollars they control! We know that good can overcome evil, righteousness can overcome wickedness, and in the end God has the final word! Amen!!!

***May 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!

So far we have covered the first $5,000 of our May operations, leaving the final $50,000 by the end of the month! 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."

*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

Fasting has been one of the most misunderstood and misused practices in the Bible. The basic premise of fasting is giving up a normal daily activity as a sacrifice, to spend that time in prayer and seeking the Lord. It is NOT supposed to be a physical endurance contest to see how long you can go without eating.

Fasting is an act of sacrifice. It can be as little as skipping one meal, or not eating for 24 hours, or even three days. Fasting does not always have to be food. You can "fast" by not watching television for a period of time, or giving up any number of others things that you may do during the day. There is no magic formula.

Let me warn you that fasting can be very dangerous to your health! Anytime you fast over 24 hours you need to be very careful. I would strongly suggest that you contact your doctor to make sure you do it correctly.

The reason you fast is to sacrifice the nourishment to your body and spend that time nourishing your soul.

It is a way to focus solely on the Lord and to seek Him. Often fasting is done at times when there are major needs and you need to really zero in spiritually on the Lord, seeking Him for answers. I routinely fast one day a month, but during major events or times of great need, I will fast for 72 hours and try to spend much of that time just in prayer. I keep living my normal life, but use the time I would normally be eating to spend time with God.

Fasting does not make you more spiritual than someone who does not fast. It is not a way to prove how spiritual you are. Again, it is a simple act of sacrifice to spend that time in prayer with the Lord. It allows you to hear God more clear. It is a time to really get serious about praying over a certain situation or circumstance. It is a sacrifice on your part to get closer to God.

I would suggest that if you never fasted before, start with one meal. Use the 20-40 minutes that you would normally be eating, go to a quiet place and just pray. Talk to God about those things in your life He needs to clean up. Talk to God about problems that only He can fix. One powerful way to use fasting is fast and spend that time in prayer for someone else. Sacrifice that meal and spend the time praying for the needs of someone else. That is powerful!

Let me challenge you today. Take the opportunity this weekend to fast one meal. Just one meal. Use the time you would normally be eating, to spend that time in prayer. Pray for your family and the needs of your family. Pray for your friends. Pray for your neighbors. Pray for our nation. Please, pray for me and God's work here at Liveprayer. I promise you that you won't miss the meal, and you will be richly blessed in your time alone with the Lord!

I love you and care about you so much. Fasting is a great way to make a minor sacrifice in our daily life to get closer to the Lord. One day, all of those who have accepted Jesus will spend eternity with Him. Fasting is a small way that we can take a few moments during this life to enjoy that intimate closeness with our Lord.

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Bill Keller
