DAILY DEVOTIONAL FRIDAY JANUARY 23, 2004
(Acts 4:20)

"We cannot stop telling about the wonderful things we saw Jesus do and heard him say."

Sharing how good and GREAT our God is. By far the Devotional everyone looks forward to is the 4 times a year I share some of the incredible praise reports we receive every single day here at Liveprayer. One of the things that I wish I could do, is let you read all of these great praise reports. Even though we deal with email names and unseen people, I never forget for a moment that there is a very REAL person in need at the other end that God loves very much. It is amazing each day to see God healing people, restoring marriages, providing necessary finances, and meeting every kind of need imaginable.

We currently have an archive of over 1,100,000 Praise Reports that we have received in our nearly 53 months of ministry here on the Internet. Satan hates the "word of testimony" because it gives people hope. No matter what you are facing in your life today, never forget that the same God who has brought someone else out of the valley and led them to victory, is the very same God that will lead YOU out of the valley and to victory. Please enjoy this special Devotional of PRAISE REPORTS.

"Bill, if you could see the 180 degree turn around GOD has graced me with in the last two months, you would know in your heart as well how much your daily devo. has affected me, one serious sinner. The spiritual battle for my soul rages on relentlessly, I fear mightily, but am "TRULY" confident Christ Jesus is fighting for ME... :)"

"Thank you for your prayers, Penny's surgery was successful. The tumor was a cyst and her spleen had to be removed, but it was not cancerous and the kidney was not impacted. To God - all the glory."

"I AM OVERWEIGHT AND NEVER DID HAVE TIME TO EXERCISE. SINCE READING YOUR DEVOTIONAL, I HAVE STARTED WALKING EVERY DAY AND I AM FASTING FROM SODAS THE FORTY DAYS OF LENT. YOU HAVE GIVEN ME THE STRENGTH TO MAKE THIS DECISION AND STICK BY IT."

"Before Christmas, I read a devotional about giving Jesus a present.. Jesus gave me the strength to "make-up" with my father and the rest of my family before the holiday. I find myself thanking Jesus and you once again. I had removed myself from my family because of my addiction to alcohol. I am now two weeks and one day sober."

"I have been praying for a job and God has given me a job, I prayed seriously for the first time before the job interview and got the job, Thank you God and Jesus!!! Praise Your name!!! it's a great job!"

"My son will be able to register on Monday for class. The Lord provided the funds to pay for his tuition today (3/7/03)! Thank you for praying with me... When will I learn to settle down and trust the Lord's timing and provision. My son and I are grateful for your prayers."

"I have decided to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and personal savior."

"Hey Bill, I wrote to you the other day about our financial problems & you have been praying for us. Well, I told you about needing money so bad & that I had been praying for it & was beginning to doubt whether my prayers had been heard or not. Anyway, my husband came in & brought a ck that was large enough to pay off the one supply house we needed. It only left us with $77 in our checking acct, but the good Lord met our needs."

"A few days ago I requested prayer for my unstable blood pressure problem. Yesterday, it came to the best reading I have had in a long time. In fact, the second reading was perfect - 120/69. Thank you very much."

"you may not know how much this one little devotional meant to me--I am only a 15 year old, but 2nite was one of the worst nights of my life---I honestly thought about leaving this world, and putting an end to all my pain but your devotional made me realize that as they say, suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem, and God does love me---over the past few months my faith has come to a sudden halt and I thought I had lost all hope but thankyou for reminding how much I am loved, and how important I am to God and to his plan thank you again----some1 who is very grateful"

"I choose to read the "Prayer" and start a new life in Christ."

"I do not expect you to remember a previous exchange of emails that we sent months ago, but it involved my wife's pregnancy. We had just become pregnant again and we feared that something was wrong because my wife was showing signs of complications. We had suffered through a miscarriage several months prior. You responded with your regards and prayed for my wife and child. I write to you now to witness to you that my son Elijah has been born and our prayers were answered!"

"Pastor, I have prayed the Sinners prayer! God has opened up my eyes, heart and soul! Thank you!"

"A couple years back, my marriage was in shambles and I was financially devestated, with no where to turn. One day while on my computer, out of the blue the Liveprayer address popped up on my screen. I started reading it, and decided to send a prayer request to Bro Keller, and he answered back and told me that God would not fail me. It was only a couple months later when my marriage was back together, and then a large financial blessing came to me. Today we are still living for God, and doing quite well. Praise be to God, and Bill Keller and Liveprayer.com."

"Hi, I just wanted to let you know that we got good news already. God is so awesome. They say that with some chemo and surgery there is a one in 5 chance for total recovery and the other 4 with treatment I can live for several years so much better than what they told us before so many started praying. I am believing for a total healing!!! Thanks so much for your prayers."

"I contacted you some time ago seeking help and prayer for an eating disorder that I have battled for years. I want you to know that your prayers were very powerful. I have not binged/purged for months. I have not even had the desire, although my life has become more stressful in many ways since then. I was recently trying to figure out why I no longer had the 'urge to purge' and I then remembered that I had E-mailed you and that you and your prayer team had been lifting me up in prayer. I am convinced that your prayer has made the difference for me."

"Thank you so much for your guidance in my new commitment and relationship with our LORD JESUS CHRIST. I shall follow all that you have said. And will be in church this very Sunday morning. And I shall find someone of the same sex to lead me in this relationship with my LORD. I understand that it will be hard for me. But I also have the faith that God will take me through all trials that I may face, as long as I stay in the word."

"Mr.Keller, I have been receiving your daily devotionals for over a year now and I have to say, I think this is the most compassionate and the most real and the most sincere e-mail I have ever received. It was so great to hear all those positive things and how much God really cares about me - an 18 year old girl who has struggled with the sex battle for years due to being in public school and it seems as if everyone else is doing it. Now, I am in my first year of college, I get to start over with my friends and it is so hard. I feel like I have messed up so much but your e-mail really put me on the right track. WHAT A BLESSING YOU AND YOUR STAFF ARE TO OUR WORLD. This devotional is the first one I have ever printed up and I will be keeping this one for a long time."

"A few months back I ask for prayer in finding a job. Yesterday I got a job and start today. Thanks for the prayers and all the hard work you all do."

"I have smoked for 23 years. One day in December after I had gotten to work I opened my e-mail and found the Daily Devotional from Mr. Keller. It was on the subject of bondage and how to ask the Lord to take away your desire from whatever bondage you are in. Well, I did pray and ask the Lord to take away the desire for me to smoke, take away any temptation to smoke and I thanked Him for giving me victory. I have been smoke free for over one month. I haven't even had the desire to smoke. I thank the Lord for the victory every day. He is wonderful."

"I have been meaning to tell you that last year when you suggested that we read at least 15 mins a day of the Bible and we would read through it by the year's end, I did and finished it about 4 months ago. Thanks for the suggestion."

"Thanks. My dad, who's a pastor, has always used this service to pray for different things. He even came to you guys with a request about 6 months ago back when I was in the hospital. I was near death, and your prayers helped a lot. So, for that, too, I'd like to thank you."

"I had asked for prayer for my grandson, Brayden, who was to have tubes placed in his ears due to many ear infections and fluid behind his ears. I am reporting that yesterday, Jan. 8th, Brayden had the tubes placed in his ears and it was a complete success! Brayden was running around as if nothing had happened....... PRAISE GOD FOR ANSWERS TO PRAYER AND PRAISE GOD FOR PRAYER WARRIORS!!!!!!!!!! Thank you all for your prayers....... may God Bless."

"I would like to tell you that God is so wonderful, and I thank God that he put you in my path. I don't know if you remember my email a few month ago. Well Bill you were right God has restored my marriage praise the lord. My husband and I reconciled during the holidays, your email about forgiving someone that has hurt you really made a lot of sense to me and through God's strength and love that he has for us I learned how to forgive me and move on. Thank you so much for your word of encouragement in my time of need."

"Dear Mr. Keller: I just wanted to inform you that my daughter did indeed pass the class I asked you to pray for. Not only that, she passed all her other classes with straight A's! Thank you ever so much for your prayers."

"Just wanted to let you know that my grandson - I had recently asked for your prayers for his salvation - has accepted Jesus as his Savior and was baptized this past Sunday."

"I emailed you in September of 2003 asking you to pray for my family. My husband had lost his job after 18 years. Thanks to all the prayers my husband did find a job 1 month later but in another state. You were going to continue to pray for us to sell our house quickly so that I could move to Florida and join my husband. We finally put our house up for sale the week of Christmas and it sold in 2 weeks!! My son and I are now in the process of making arrangements to join my husband. We have held onto the belief that God had a plan for us and he wanted us to move to another area for a reason. We have been going with the flow of things each day knowing that God was taking care of us along the way, even when it was hard, and this was just the process of his plan for us to get to where he wants us to be. Thank you so very much for all your prayers."

"A few months back your devotional was on those living together and not married. You encouraged those of us that knew others living this way, to pass this devotional on to them, knowing that we would most likely make them angry with us for sharing such a devotional. Well, I did indeed pass this devotional on to a niece of mine, and, as you stated, she was not a happy person for receiving it, BUT Praise God! She and her live-in are now married! Besides sending this devotional to them, I have also been praying for changed hearts for them. And God, does indeed answer our prayers."

"I wrote you months ago. I was so confused and at the end of my rope. I told you some very personal stuff. That I was working as a male escort(Prostitute). Addicted to Crystal Meth and involved in the gay scene. Although my life is no where near perfect, I have a real job now. I have spent alot of time alone. In order to get out of using drugs and get rid of the people who liked me only for my body and looks I had to eliminate almost everyone from my life. But things are looking up. I just want you to know (as I tear up while typing this) in a sea of people who are self centered, uncaring and hateful, your lite shines through. It saved me to know that someone, one person, cared to read my email and respond. I watch Live Prayer quite frequently and I want to thank you from my soul for being there for the many good people out there who are lost and need your help."

"WOW!!!!! GOD is amazing and you are also amazing! I'm already healed! I had a little pain in my left side when I just sat in front of my desk and computer, when I read your email, the pain is gone! PRAISE YOU JESUS! HALLELUJAH JESUS, THANK YOU LORD!!!"

"THANK YOU SO MUCH for writing today on sin. Today I had it planned out to go to lunch with a man other than my husband and then possibly go to a hotel. Well, after reading your note I'm proud to say "I'M GOING TO SAY NO" I will stay home and get ready for the holiday and Celebrate God knowing that today is the first day of the rest of my life."

"I would like to thank Bill Keller Ministries and all who prayed for our family on the requests I made a couple of weeks ago. For some time now, we have been trying to purchase a home but for one reason or another, we couldn't. Two weeks ago, I contacted Liveprayer to pray for us that we could accomplish this dream. I am happy to report that we have been approved (Praise the Lord!) and things are looking really great. God has answered so many prayers for us. I cannot thank Him enough."

"I have prayed the prayer on the website, and I would love to be sent with information to help me to live my new life with Christ. I am ready to change my attitude and make it His life, not mine. Amen!"

NOW YOU KNOW WHY I AM SO PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT I DO EACH DAY, AND WHY I AM WORKING SO HARD TO EXPAND THE OUTREACH OF LIVEPRAYER. GOD HAS RAISED UP THIS GREAT INSTRUMENT IN THESE LAST DAYS TO TRANSFORM LIVES. IT IS YOUR LOVE, YOUR PRAYERS, AND YOUR SACRIFICIAL GIFTS THAT MAKES ALL OF THIS POSSIBLE!

FOR THE MILLIONS WE ARE ABLE TO SHARE THE HOPE AND LOVE OF CHRIST WITH EACH DAY, THANK YOU!!!

In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,
Bill Keller
