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

To my Liveprayer family and those who are seeking! I deeply appreciate your love and support of God’s work here at Liveprayer. I pray that you and your family have a most blessed 2026 full of health, prosperity both financially and spiritually, and HIS richest blessings each moment of each day in the new year! I pray that 2026 is the greatest year yet in your relationship with the Lord and in your service to the Kingdom of God! I love you and care about you so much! We press on towards the prize!

***Daily Personal Prayer For You***

Dear Lord, thank You for another day of life and the dawning of a new year! Let us never to forget that EVERY DAY is a special day since it is a gift from You! Please let me never take one day, one hour, one minute of this precious life for granted and may I always honor You with my life! In the name of Jesus I pray...AMEN!

***The Daily Liveprayer TV Nugget***

The movie a few years ago on Mr. Rogers, portrayed by Tom Hanks, was a real anomaly. As many of that era know, Fred Rogers was a Presbyterian pastor. He was from a time when you didn't need to announce you were a Christian, most people by your words and deeds knew if you were a follower of Christ of not. The ONLY way his program would ever see the light of day today would be if he was openly gay, and pushed an anti-Christian, pro-transgendered, pro-climate change, pro-abortion, pro-evolution agenda to children each day on his program. If that program was made today, it would be a huge platform for the “religion of social justice” to push its' extreme and Godless agenda on innocent children. If you think I am being paranoid, look at the anti-Biblical social agenda that is today being pushed on PBS during their children's programming. Even the claymation children's program of that era, Davey and Goliath which was on TV every weekend is sadly only available on YouTube.

***December Financial Update***

Praise the Lord! Thanks to the prayers and generous sacrifices of many in the Liveprayer family, we ended 2025 with a shortfall of just $80,000. I am praying that we can clear up our 2025 shortfall in the first week of this new year so we can begin to work on the $55,000 we require for our January ministry operations. 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

New Year's blessings my friend!!!

This is the one day each year that I take off. I want to wish you and your family a blessed, healthy, prosperous, and most of all...fruitful 2026!!! I pray that this will be the most precious year of your life in your walk and relationship with Jesus Christ!

Only God knew what we would be facing as a nation just one year ago today. It has been a year like none other for our nation as God has spared our nation for a season from being permanently changed for the worse for many generations to come with the inauguration of our 47th President Donald Trump. 2026 will be the celebration of our nation’s 250th birthday!

2025 has been by far our most productive year with the added ministry due to the continual challenges of the disastrous Biden Administration policies that affected virtually every man, woman, and child negatively for 4 years. As we celebrated our 26th anniversary online this past August, our 23rd year on TV this coming March, God raised up His work here at Liveprayer and prepared us over the decades for this critical moment in human history.

This new year of 2026 will be one of the most important ever in our nation's brief history. As God has been pouring out His judgement on our land for our sins and rebellion these past 4 years, 2026 is the year for His people to rise up and lead our country back to the Almighty and His Truth. As so many faithful followers of Christ have done these past 2,000 years, it is now our turn to further His Kingdom and insure these United States continue to be a beacon of His light to the lost and hurting here and around the world!!!

I am so humbled and grateful for the prayers and generous sacrifices of friends like you and your family. Friends like you allow me be here each day to be able to boldly and without compromise share God's Truth with this hurting world and the love of Jesus Christ with the lost!

Every day we pray for and minister to people worldwide who come to us at the most difficult times in their lives. More and more people we minister have ZERO faith background, while many others have had unfortunate experiences at some point with a church and/or people professing to be Christians. However, we see God working in people's lives, meeting needs great and small, and most important have had the honor of helping lead many lost souls to everlasting life through faith in Jesus Christ throughout 2025!

All of that is only possible because of you and the dear friends God has divinely brought together for this season here at Liveprayer. Whatever rewards there may be in Heaven from our work here at Liveprayer will be shared by everyone who has prayed for Liveprayer and those who have made the sacrifice of a single prayer or sacrificed a single dollar!!!

I love and care about you so much. Have a restful and peaceful first day of this new year as we prepare to make 2026 the most productive and fruitful year of ministry to date for the Glory of God and the advancement of His Kingdom as we help lead our nation from God's judgment back to His endless blessings!

In His love and service,

Your friend and co-laborer in His work,

Bill Keller
