DAILY DEVOTIONAL   SATURDAY NOVEMBER 6, 2004
(John 10:10)

***WOW!!!  That is all I can say.  I am truly humbled by the incredible
outpouring of love and forgiveness from literally hundreds of thousands of
people in the past day.  I really have no other words but thank you.   I was
so encouraged to read how many people woke up and became motivated by what I
shared last March, read and were challenged by the various Devotionals on
the election and our nation in the past year, how many were serious enough
to join in the 40 days of prayer, fasting, and repentance for our nation
last May, as well as the prayer effort prior to the election.  I pledge to
continue to do my very best each day to share with you what the Holy Spirit
has led me to write to convict you, challenge you, and inspire you in your
daily walk with the Lord in addition to being here to pray with you and for
you in your time of need.  God bless you!

***DO NOT MISS THE MONDAY DEVOTIONAL, "God's Reprieve for the United
States."  It is a message EVERY person needs to read.


(from an email received)
"Lately you have chosen to come down in fierceness regarding the
Episcopalian Church, Mormons, Neale Donald Walsch, and Satan with a
vengeance that is ravaging....Your gloatings about getting in the face of
Satan also greatly disturb me as a believer.....There is an arrogance and
violence toward Satan in your messages that are deeply troubling to me....I
sense neither gentleness nor respect (when talking about satan) in your
words."


Satan is not your friend, he is not your buddy!  Sadly, the above are
comments from an email I received the other day.  However, the person is
correct, I have NO respect for satan whatsoever.  I allowed satan into my
life at one point and I am only here today, doing what I am doing, by the
grace of God who rescued me.  I will do everything I can with every breath I
take to stop him from accomplishing his true goal.

Sadly, people of all ages underestimate satan's goals even though Jesus
clearly told us what they are in John 10:10.  He is out to steal, kill, and
destroy.  Satan's desire is to steal your hope, steal your joy, steal your
peace, steal the abundance that this life can be.  Satan wants to kill you.
He wants you dead in your sin so that you will be forever separated from
God, your Creator, and destined to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire that
will be his eternal home.  Satan wants to destroy you.  If you are already a
Christian, he wants to destroy your testimony, to destroy your ability to
serve God, to destroy the plan and purpose God has for your life.  My
friend, satan is NOT playing games, he is deadly serious!!!

That is why I am so passionate each day in what I share with you in regard
to sin.  Each day, I receive over 40,000 prayer requests from all over the
world.  Literally 7 days a week I am dealing with the very real lives, of
very real people, that due to sin have had their lives turned upside down.
I get to see daily the destruction sin does in people's lives.  Satan is an
equal opportunity destroyer.  He doesn't care if you are young or old, if
you are male or female, if you are white or black.  Satan doesn't care if
you are rich or poor, where you live, how intelligent you may or may not be.
SIN IS A UNIVERSAL ISSUE THAT ALL MEN AND WOMEN DEAL
WITH EVERY DAY!

I realize that I can't force you to follow God, or to obey Him.  I
understand that you have to make your own choices.  What God has called me
to do is simply share the TRUTH of His Word with you each day.  It really
boils down to this.  When you obey God, you will be blessed.  When you rebel
against God, you will face the consequences.  Obeying God brings blessings,
disobeying God brings consequences.  This is true whether you are 10 or 100,
and every age in between.

I love you and care about you so much.  Satan is NOT some cartoon character
created by Walt Disney.  Satan is a very REAL force in the world for this
short season.  He is not to be feared, but understood.  We must never forget
that for this brief season, he is very much on the loose, with the clearly
defined goal to steal, kill, and destroy the lives of real people.  However,
there is no reason to fear satan because 2000 years ago Jesus Christ rose
out of His tomb and sealed the enemy's eternal fate.  He is a defeated foe!
The Bible proclaims that, "greater is He that is in me, than he that is in
the world."

I will be praying for you today.  I pray that you will not take sin lightly,
or the potential consequences of sin in your life.  Satan is a LIAR.  John
8:44 tells us that he is the "father of lies!"  God gives us a great promise
in 1 John 1:9 that if we will confess our sins, He will forgive us, and
cleanse
us of all unrighteousness.  It does NOT say that we will escape the
consequences of our sins, but that God will forgive us and give us the grace
and strength to deal with whatever they may be.

The good news is that YOUR life is not over, simply because you have sinned.
The key is to go to God, confess your sins, receive His forgiveness, and
move forward with your life.  God is a God of grace, mercy, and restoration.
Satan will lie to you and tell you that you are worthless because of your
sin and that you have no hope.  The truth is that God never stops loving you
and that your hope is in Him.  Satan wants to destroy you, God wants to
bless you.  Satan wants you to die, God wants you to live.  May you choose
the God of hope, blessing, and life!!!

SATAN IS NOT YOUR FRIEND, HE IS NOT YOUR BUDDY, HE IS
YOUR ENEMY.  Treat him like your enemy!  He is out to destroy YOU!
Any chance you get, KICK HIM AS HARD AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN!!!


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