(Matthew 11:28-30, 1 Peter 5:7)

***LIVEPRAYER CHURCH!!! Haven't been to church yet this week? Join me for this week's service at the LivePrayer Church. This week's message is: “Coming Home!” Please visit the website at: http://liveprayerchurch.com and be part this week's worship service. Each Sunday there will be a new service at 12:01am EST

***Prayer***

Lord, give me the discernment I need during these challenging days. Help me to see with spiritual eyes and hear with spiritual ears YOUR voice. My faith is in You as You guide my each step. In the name of Jesus...AMEN!

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

Look to the Lord for your strength as you go thru each day. Operate in HIS strength and not your own!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

*NOTE! Do not miss the Monday 10/5 TV Nugget where I will deal with an ever growing problem in this country that a larger percentage of elderly people are dealing with each year, ELDER ABUSE OF EVERY KIND IMAGINABLE!

I am using this precious space today for a specific purpose. Please take 3 minutes right now and pray for the United States during the upcoming midterm elections in just 30 days that will set the stage for not just the next few years, but coming generations of Americans!!!

Pray for God’s people to rise up, declare that the only true hope and answer for our nation is to turn back to Almighty God and the Truth found in His Word! Pray for ALL followers of Jesus Christ to be Godly citizens and exercise their right to vote on November 3rd. Pray that God does NOT turn the nation over to our enemies, Communists, Muslims, Globalists, and all those who seek to destroy it while using it for their evil purposes.

Pray that no matter what may happen in the coming months, God’s people will be bold, courageous, and will not back down regardless of the price we have to pay for our faith. The day draws nigh when God’s people will be tested like never before in our nation’s history. May historians declare when it was our turn to stand for the Lord we rose to the occasion and were faithful!!! AMEN!!!

***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 Liveprayer 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

***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 first days of October. 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. 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!

This message applies to every single person who is reading this right now. It doesn't matter how old you are, whether you are a man or a woman, what your skin color is, what nationality you are, how much money you have or don't have, this is a universal message that is applicable to everyone. You see, nobody that has lived very long in this sin-filled and evil world has escaped the trials and tribulations of this life and not experienced some sort of pain. EVERYONE reading this Devotional knows the pain that comes from time to time during this journey we are on.

For some, that pain was experienced in your childhood through mental, physical, or sexual abuse. Some have experienced that pain later in life through failed relationships, many through being divorced. Everyone has lived through the pain of the death of a loved one. Many of you have experienced the pain of financial hardships. Others have lived through the pain of losing your job or other employment and career issues.

Sadly, some have lived through the experience of being a crime victim. Everyone has experienced the pain from making poor choices at some point in their life. Most have had to experience the pain of some bondage such as alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, food, money, shopping, lying, or a myriad of other bondages that people get caught up in.

NOT ONE PERSON READING THIS HAS NOT HAD TO LIVE THROUGH THE PAIN THAT COMES FROM LIVING THIS LIFE HERE ON EARTH!!!

Today, I want to share a word with you that could be one of the most important things anyone has ever told you. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP LIVING WITH WHATEVER PAIN YOU HAVE FROM YOUR PAST. Let me repeat that, because I really want you to hear these words clear. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP LIVING WITH WHATEVER PAIN YOU HAVE FROM YOUR PAST. If you are, that is only because you have CHOSEN to live with that pain!

The fact is, God has made a way through faith in His Son for you to put the pain of your past behind you and live your life in freedom. Jesus has told us to give Him our burdens, that He would carry them for us. The Bible tells us to cast our cares on Him, because He cares for us. You see, God doesn't expect you to carry the pain of your past with you each day. He wants you to live FREE from your past so that you can enjoy the abundance that this life has to offer.

Just hours before going to the cross, Jesus told His disciples that in this world, they would experience trials and tribulations. But He told them to, "Be of good cheer because He has overcome this world." You see my friend, trials and tribulations are part of this human experience, but God has made a way through His Son for us to still enjoy the abundance that this life can offer despite those trials and tribulations.

The only reason you are carrying the pain of your past with you today is because you have chosen to believe the LIE instead of the TRUTH. Jesus tells us in John 8:44, "Satan is a liar. He is the father of lies." When he speaks, he speaks his native language...lying! God on the other hand is TRUTH. The Word of God is TRUTH. The lie of satan is that you have to carry the pain of your past around with you each day like a 1,000 pound anchor around your neck. The truth from God is that you can take that pain of your past and give it to Jesus. HE WILL GLADLY TAKE THAT 1,000 POUND ANCHOR FROM YOU TODAY!!!

I love you and care about you so much. Everyone reading this Devotional today has experienced some of the pain that this life offers. So many of you have never let go of that pain and have simply learned how to live your life each day with that pain. Because of that, you are missing the fullness of the joy, peace, and abundance that this life can offer. Because of that, you are not completely fulfilling your purpose in this life which is to serve and glorify God with your life. Because of that, you are not living in total freedom and victory each day. Right now, this very moment, I want you to stop whatever you are doing. If you are at home, at work, or school, it doesn’t matter.

Stop whatever you are doing right now and pray this prayer, "Dear Father, I thank you for this day. I know that today was not promised to me, but it is a gift from You. Dear God, You know the pain I have today from what has happened in my life. I am tired of carrying this pain with me day after day. It is robbing me of my joy, of my peace, of knowing the abundance that this life can offer. I trust Your Word today that tells me that I can give this burden to You, that You will take it from me. I trust Your Word today that tells me to cast my cares on You because You care for me. In the name of Jesus, I give You the pain of my past today. In the name of Jesus, I surrender it to You. Take it from me, and fill me right now with Your joy, with Your peace, and let me live from this day forward in FREEDOM FROM MY PAST! In Jesus name I pray. Amen!"

I will be praying for you today my friend. God loves you SO MUCH! He cares about you SO MUCH! We live in an evil and sin-filled world. Because of that, we all will experience pain in this life, but God has made a way so that we do not have to carry that pain around with us for the rest of our days. He has offered to carry it for us, to take it from us. I pray today that you will trust Him and give Him the pain of your past and live in FREEDOM from this day forward!

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Bill Keller
