Dear Lord, please help me to protect the things I see and hear each day to keep my mind and thoughts pure. Protect me Lord, and let me filter out the filth of this evil world that is designed to destroy my life. In the name of Jesus I pray, AMEN!!!

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

If you love our country and care about the future, take 5 minutes today to pray for our nation to turn back to God and His Truth while we still have time. The course of our nation for generations, not just a few years, depends on what happens in less than 5 weeks on November 3rd!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

Question! I fully understand that the cost of a gallon of gas is hurting some families personal finances. I also understand that the cost of diesel impacts the costs of EVERYTHING we buy. So please, I am not being insensitive to the reality of the impact energy costs have on individual families because we pray for people daily struggling financially. Having said that, this is a legit question, IS A COUPLE DOLLARS EXTRA TO THE COST OF A GALLON OF GAS AND DIESEL WORTH ALLOWING LITERAL COMMUNISTS TO TAKE OVER THE RUNNING OF OUR COUNTRY???

Upon taking office in January 2025, President Trump implemented energy policies that within 6 months had brought gas and diesel prices down to lows we hadn’t experienced since the first Trump Presidency. How quick people forget the disastrous and failed anti-fossil fuel policies over the 4 years during the illegitimate Biden regime. The cost of gas and diesel today are still cheaper than what is cost as Biden pushed his insane green energy policies that included ending the selling of gas powered cars in 2030!!!

*As a note, gas and diesel prices in a few Democratic states like California include apx. $2 per gallon just in state taxes!

The fact is the ONLY reason gas and diesel is costing what it does at this moment is due to prices being artificially kept high, using the Iran conflict as the reason when there is more oil and gas available today on the open market than ever before in history! The purpose of keeping those energy prices high doesn’t take a political genius to understand. They are at these current levels in order to frustrate the general public and give the media a talking point to hurt Republicans in November and try to destroy the final 2 years of the Trump Presidency!

I CAN ASSURE YOU 100% THAT GAS AND DIESEL PRICES WILL BEGIN TO COME DOWN ON NOVEMBER 4TH...THE DAY AFTER THE MIDTERMS!!!

Those who hate the country and seek to destroy it, starting by taking power over the House and Senate this November, will once again destroy the greatest gas and oil production in the world that makes us not just energy independent but also energy suppliers to other parts of the world. People will yearn for the prices we pay today.

So to not vote, or worse, vote for those who hate our country this November over the current price of gas and diesel is what the current artificially high prices are all about. Again, once the midterms are over and prices begin to drop, if the Democrats/Globalists/Communists are back in power the cost you pay for gas and diesel will be the least problem you will be dealing with!!!

***October Financial Update***

Did you know God’s timing is always perfect, even though it is rarely our timing? After 35 years of walking by faith in my service to the Lord, watching God’s faithfulness in my personal life, in the life of the work He has called me to, and in the lives of millions worldwide, I am still just man of flesh and bone and my faith wavers at times. I am not proud to admit this having preached faith daily to millions worldwide. In the end, the Bible is true, God’s promises are real, and He loves us more than we can comprehend.

After over 27 years online and going on 24 years on TV, God is not finished with Liveprayer! WE STILL HAVE WORK TO DO! The last month has been a real test, a test I have honestly failed at times in those wee hours when it is dark, quiet, and it is just you and the Lord. I am humbled that the Lord sent a couple of “rams in the bush” that has helped us clear up the balance of our July shortfall AND the entire August budget for out daily ministry operations. GOD IS GREAT!

We ended September having cleared up our July and August operations. As we begin October, we can now being to work on the $55,000 we requires for September’s budget and the $55,000 we require for October. The good news is for now we are back on solid footing financially and the emergency that threatened to shut down Liveprayer has been averted! satan is a liar and a loser and our God is faithful! AMEN!

Please pray about helping me with a gift in the final days of September. 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 WHAT 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.

The altar has always been a special place. It was where man went to meet God. In the Old Testament, it was on the altar that man sacrificed animals to God for his sins. Since Jesus came and was the perfect one-time sacrifice for the sins of all mankind, the altar is now a place where man comes to spend time in prayer to God. Of course, you don’t have to go to an altar to pray but there is something special about having a place to go and talk to God.

I remember as a young boy in the little Methodist church my family attended, the altar was a special place. It was a reverent place. It was a place where people went and got down on their knees and prayed to God about the needs in their life. It was a place where people would spend hours on their face in prayer. People came to that altar to accept Christ as their Savior. People stood at that altar and got married. People came to that altar to view the body of a loved one that had gone to be with the Lord. It was a holy place.

I will never forget on Palm Sunday several years ago, I was preaching at St. Mark’s United Methodist in Pensacola, Florida. It was a beautiful old church in a very nice part of town. As I was preaching, I got off my message and began to talk about the altar. I remember talking about how the altar was a place for prayer NOT flowers. As soon as I said those words, I remembered that I was in a very elegant and beautiful United Methodist Church on Palm Sunday. Without even looking, I already knew that the altar was lined with tons of flowers, and it was.

Realizing that I was now in trouble, I walked off the platform and down to the altar and stood in the midst of the beautiful flowers and started to talk about the little Methodist Church I grew up in and how the altar was a place of prayer, a place to come and travail before God. I remember saying that one of the problems in the church today was that people have forgotten what the altar was there for and some people had never even knelt and prayed at the altar in their life.

In talking, I made a sweeping gesture with my hand to move some of the flowers to the side to clear out an area at the altar. However, being fully in the Spirit and ?in the moment,? my hand was moving much too quickly and I knocked over one planter, which knocked over the one next to it, and soon, like dominoes, about 10 of the beautiful plants had fallen down and there were flowers and dirt all over the altar. As you can imagine, the congregation of this very staid and majestic church was in complete silence and shock. I am sure the pastor was wondering why he ever invited me to preach. The place was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

At this point, I figured I was in so deep, there was no turning back. So, I looked at the people and told them that I was done preaching. I told them that there was not one person in that congregation who didn’t have a need in their life and I wanted them to come down to the altar and pray and I would be there to pray with them. Well, I am quite sure coming to the altar and praying was NOT something the people in this church did very often, if ever. As I stood there for what seemed like an eternity, not one person was moving from their seat, and I remember telling God to do something. He did.

All of a sudden, coming down the aisle I saw a little old woman. My fear was she was the head of the flower committee and was coming up to scold me. However, she slowly made her way down to the altar, stood in front of me, and took my hand. She looked up and said, “Brother Keller, I remember when we used to come to this altar and pray for hours.” She let go of my hand, moved to the side, got on her knees, and began to pray. Within moments, several more people began to move to the altar and soon the entire church had left their seats, to come and pray at that altar.

I share that story with you today for two reasons. First, start taking advantage of the altar in your church. It is NOT just there for decoration or a place to put the pretty flowers. IT IS A HOLY PLACE. IT IS A PLACE OF PRAYER. Second, you should have an altar in your home. You need a special place in your home that is set aside from all of the day- to-day activities. A quiet place where you can go to be alone with the Lord. A place where you can read His Word or just spend that quality time alone with Him. There is NOTHING more powerful than you and your family taking time every day to gather around the family altar and hear God’s Word and pray together!

I love you and care about you so much. I pray that you will never look at the altar in your church the same way again. I pray that you will make time to spend time with God at that altar. In the Old Testament, the altar was a place of sacrifice. It is still a place of sacrifice. It is the place where we come to give ourselves as a living sacrifice to God, committing our lives to Him. I also pray that if you do not have an altar in your home, you will pray about making one. What a great legacy for your children to grow up in a home with such a holy place to reinforce that you and your house serve the Lord!

May the altar, a place of sacrifice, always be a reminder of the sacrifice that Christ made when he died for our sins. May the altar, a place of prayer, always be a reminder that we are totally dependent on God.

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

Bill Keller
