A woman walked into Fulton Sheen’s confessional and told him:

“I’m only here to kill time.”

She admitted she was a prostitute.

Then she revealed something even darker.

She claimed that after being arrested and sent to live with nuns, she had made a pact with the devil: if she made nine sacrilegious Communions, she believed he would help her escape.

Then she ran out of the church.

Sheen could have let her go.

Instead, he asked every penitent who came to confession that night to pray a Rosary for her conversion.

When the confessions ended, Sheen remained before the Blessed Sacrament through the night, praying for her.

Then, as the sun began to rise…

she came back.

She returned to the confessional.

Sheen heard her confession.

And a soul that had seemed completely lost was reconciled to God.

Sheen understood something many of us forget:

No soul is beyond the reach of God’s mercy.

Sometimes the greatest thing you can do for a sinner is refuse to stop praying for them.

THREAT IDENTIFIED. ACTION TAKEN.

FBI Jacksonville received a Threat-to-Life tip involving an alleged mass-shooting threat against a Clay County school.

Our people moved FAST.

Working with our state and local law enforcement partners, the information was immediately acted on, the individual was identified, and an arrest was made before any reported violence occurred.

This is exactly what happens when law enforcement works together — intelligence moves, cops act, and our kids are protected.

We will continue using every lawful tool and every partnership we have to find these threats and STOP them before they become tragedies.

Great work by @FBIJacksonville and our partners in Green Cove Springs.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Donald Trump at the UN just demanded the IMMEDIATE resignation of globalist International Criminal Court (ICC) members

Then he CALLED OUT the globalists for ignoring the persecution of Christians

I VOTED FOR THIS.

"I mean, Christians are being persecuted all over the world. It's not even believable. I never thought I'd say it, but it's been happening for a long time. So this is persecution of Christians who are the crimes of the world's most repressive regimes. Yet, they want America to open up our borders to gangs and criminals from world's most dangerous places."

"I call on all nations that are members of the ICC to officially resign from this rogue institution immediately."

"We will NEVER allow U.S. service members or anyone else to be investigated or given show trials by an anti-American tribunal with no jurisdiction over us, or an evil group of people."

"It is equally unacceptable that with all the genuine atrocities in the world, the UN's top human rights officials spend their time criticizing the United States for protecting our children from transgender mutilization and transgender insanity and enforcing our immigration laws."

One of his best moments ever.

In the 1950s, Ella Fitzgerald was not allowed to play Hollywood's most popular nightclub, Mocambo, because of her race.

Marilyn Monroe, who was a big fan, called the owner & told him that if he booked Ella, Marilyn would be there every night - which guaranteed huge press coverage.
He booked Ella and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. Ella said, "After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman - a little ahead of her times. And she didn't know it."

Friday September 18, 2026

Blessings my friend!

I pray you and your family are well. I lift you up before the Lord every day! I have done this for certain people when asked, but wanted to take a moment of your time to give you a look at the finances of Liveprayer, and where we are at as we head into the final 3 ½ months of 2026.

I can’t believe this year is about over, but it has been a huge year for Liveprayer ministry wise. We celebrated 27 years online on 8/31, 23 years on TV this past March, and have ministered to more people during this year already than in any of the previous 26. As people are challenged in their individual lives, they come to a place where they realize life has to be bigger than themselves and are looking for true hope they can count on.

We have had numerous budgets over the last 27 years, but apx. 10 yrs ago cut everything we required to provide the daily ministry to people worldwide literally 24/7 to the bare bones. From day one Liveprayer has been a lean operation since I have always done the bulk of the ministry work along with our volunteer pastors who help respond to the incoming emails for prayer each day.

My business background during the decade I ran from the Lord was building a large marketing operation selling computers and various office machines to businesses thru a network of 23 telemarketing rooms around the country and Canada at the peak. However, in the early days of the ministry I saw that so many ministries who started with such pure motives, but as the Lord blessed their efforts they ended up creating a huge organization that required lots of money to exist and the focus soon went from ministry to how to use the ministry to raise money.

I vowed we would never have a building despite being offered several over the years for free. The problem is you still need to insure the building, maintain it, all things that require money. So we never left the backroom of the used car lot one of my board members owned. Sadly Clyde passed away a few years ago at 93 and his family sold the property, but we continue to operate administratively out of an adjoining property next door.

I also refused to have a huge staff since they need to be paid every Friday. That is another expense that can get out of control quickly. I also found out that if you aren’t buying multiple luxury homes, fancy cars, private jets, $5,000 designer suits, and living like the ruler of a small nation, you don’t require millions of dollars each month and the money you raise can actually go to the Lord’s work.

Here is the breakdown of our current monthly budget that is right at $55,000. For context, this is the budget of a local church with 1,000 members or less that has a few services each week along with a Bible study, prayer groups, and Sunday School classes.

-I haven’t taken an actual salary for over a decade. The ministry pays my basic monthly living expenses that totals apx. $4,000. I give my wife credit for being willing to sacrifice financial security in our later years to do the Lord’s work. While we don’t have any sort of retirement plan, stocks and bonds, and live in a home with a mortgage that still under water from the housing crisis in 2008, God has provided for our daily needs as He promised!

-My assistant who has been with my for 25 of our 27 years and our basic administrative costs come in each month around $8,000.

-My head tech who has also been with me for the last 25 years and his team who only work when needed is $10,000 a month. The truth is he could easily make 3-4x what he is paid doing the same job at a secular company.

-The TV program used to cost apx. $50,000 a month to buy the airtime, rent the studio, and pay a crew of 5 people. That expense is down to just $8,000 a month due to the fact in November of 2018 we cut all of our legacy TV contracts and went 100% streaming. With the latest software I no longer need any crew and do the program by myself. The $8,000 is for servers and bandwidth dedicated to the TV program alone.

-The largest expense each month is the bandwidth required for the website and our email operations. Sadly, we are a huge target for hackers and when they hit us with a DDoS attack it can chew up thousands of dollars in bandwidth in minutes before we can shut the servers down and stop the attack. It is sad, but it is part of being online and preaching the Truth of the Word without compromise in a world that hates the Lord and the Christian faith. That monthly bill that can fluctuate is right around $25,000.

There you go. That is what the $55,000 we require each month covers. Virtually every dime we take in goes right to the work of the Lord and ministering to people. I have always contended it is a modern day fishes and loaves miracle! With those funds it allows us to send out the Daily Devotional each day to apx. 2.5m subscribers worldwide. It allows us to respond to the apx. 40,000 emails for prayer we receive daily. It allows me to broadcast the TV program “live” every Mon-Fri to an audience of between 20,000 and 30,000.

*THAT $55,000 EACH MONTH ALLOWS LIVEPRAYER TO IMPACT LIVES WORLDWIDE DAILY FOR THE LORD AND LEAD LOST SOULS TO FAITH IN JESUS!!!

After 27 years I have heard every method to raise funds. I settled early on in the first days of my ministry, 34 years ago, that I would use the “Paul model.” Paul was a great fundraiser because he didn’t trust in the methods and wiles of man, but shared his needs and stood in faith trusting the Lord to provide...AND HE DID! I can tell you that I still get on my knees the first of each month and lay my hands on that months budget, simply asking the Lord to provide for that month. GOD HAS BEEN FAITHFUL THOUGH HIS TIMING ISN’T ALWAYS MINE AND EVEN AFTER 34 YEAR MY FAITH WAIVERS AT TIMES.

The reason most churches and ministries focus solely on preaching to existing Christians is because most Christians at least understand the concept of giving. Very few non-Christians do, or could be expected to. Liveprayer from day one has focused primarily on reaching the lost and hurting masses outside the 4 walls of the church, making the task of raising our monthly budget an even bigger challenge.

Less than a fraction of 1% every give a dime to Liveprayer, which is fine. We aren’t here to raise money but to minister to the needs of people and lead lost souls to faith in Jesus. Also, everything we do is free and most are happy to accept what we offer which is why we do it. The Bible tells us freely you have received, freely you give. The biggest objection by non-Believers is the church and ministries are nothing but a money hustle, and sadly they are right to much of the time. We have taken that objection away.

Liveprayer has had numerous opportunities every year to clear up all of our financial challenges by renting our email data base to marketing companies who would bombard people with emails (I wouldn’t do that to my worst enemy no matter how much money it would generate!), selling everything from the latest dog food to gold bars, to more traditional avenues like writing books, holding conventions and concerts, or hosting cruises and trips to Israel. Everyone has to pray and seek the Lord about the way they raise funds, but the fact our focus is on the lost and hurting and turning Liveprayer into just another ministry/marketing operations would destroy our ability to reach non-Christians.

Most who have supported God’s work here over the last 27 years are Believers and those few have made all God has done in tens of millions of lives worldwide possible. Also, apx. 30% of those we minister to are outside of the United States and very few ever give, but again that is fine, we are here for the sole purpose of reaching people everywhere!

Many have suggested to ask everyone to give $1. It sounds logical but anyone who has been on a church finance board or raised funds for a non-profit understands that it would be wonderful if that approach worked, but it simply doesn’t. The reality in most every church, ministry, or general non-profit is that 60%-70% of the funds come from a handful of people, the rest from others faithfully giving as they are able like the Bible teaches.

By God’s grace, over the years I have usually had anywhere from 3-10 dear friends who the Lord gave a real burden for His work here at Liveprayer and were richly blessed financially to step up at a time of need and send $5,000, $10,000, $50,000 if they were able at the moment. This has enabled me to not have to put out a plea to everyone when we are in a cash flow crunch. Traditionally during the summer months of June, July, and August donations slow down but of course the expenses don’t. This year has been especially difficult, but as we get past Labor Day each year things pick up thru the end of the year.

Sadly, since we have been doing this for nearly 3 decades now, and over that time many of our dear friends and loyal supporters have gone home to be with the Lord. That affects the number of special friends that I can call on in a time of need. Again, by His grace the Lord has raised up new special friends to help out at a difficult time.

So, that gives you a very comprehensive look at Liveprayer from a financial standpoint. Let me share with you where we are at today and through the end of 2026. We are still trying to dig out of the hole we are in from the slow summer months. We are still dealing with the final $35,000 from our July operations and the full $55,000 from August. *I desperately need $10,000 of that $90,000 this MONDAY 9/21! *I need the final $25,000 from July on this TUESDAY 9/22. *That clears up July, and as we approach the end of the month I need the $55,000 from our August operations between next Friday the 25th and Monday the 28th for a total of $90,000.

That $90,000 clears up the balance of our July shortfall and our August operations and gets us back on firm footing financially! I am in prayer this weekend for dear friends of Liveprayer to step up and insure we can clear up that critical $90,000 on the time table I shared with you.

During the month of October we will need to cover the $55,000 for this month, September’s operations. During November cover the $55,000 we require for our October ministry operations. Finally, in December with many friends making special year-end gifts, $110,000 to clear up the November operations and December’s to end 2026 with all of our operations current heading into the new year of 2027. OUR GOD IS ABLE!!!

That is a total of $310,000 between now and the end of the year. Please stand in agreement with me that God will meet this need. I am not asking for one dime more, just the $310,000 re require between now and the end of the year. I realize that $310,000 is lots of money, but when you factor in the numbers of people worldwide Liveprayer is able to reach each day, impacting lives for Christ and leading lost souls to everlasting life through faith in Jesus, our annual budget just under $700,000 is a drop of water when you consider the overall economy of this world!

I NEED YOU TO PRAY ABOUT HELPING ME WITH THIS IMMEDIATE NEED, AND BE PRAYING ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP ME BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF THE YEAR!!! EVERY PERSON IS AT A DIFFERENT PLACE FINANCIALLY, GOD NEVER EXPECTS YU TO GIVE WHAT YOU CAN’T, ONLY WHAT YOU CAN! AMEN!!!

It is sickening to watch the BILLIONS city, state, and the Federal government throw away each year. People come to this country and rip off tens, hundreds of millions of dollars in various schemes to defraud government agencies. The minions of satan raise virtually unlimited amounts of money for operations that destroy lives and lead souls to hell for eternity. God has been faithful over the last 27 years to make sure Liveprayer had the funds needed to do His work, and He won’t stop today!

The Lord has used special friends who sacrifice $10, $50, $100, $1,000, $10,000, several times over $100,000 giving as the act of worship our giving is. All I can ask is that you keep me and Liveprayer in your prayers and stand in agreement with me for this immediate $90,000 we require over the final days of September, and the final $220,000 to end 2026 current with all of our financial obligations current.

I love you and care about you so much. Know I pray for you and your family each day. Thank you for your love, your prayers, and your faithful support of God’s work here at Liveprayer. Together we are impacting lives daily for the Kingdom of God and snatching souls from the grasp of satan and leading them to everlasting life through faith in Jesus Christ! AMEN!!!

*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!

Harvard-educated Ohio State Senator Jane Timken is Catholic and publicly pro-life.
When once asked about her position, Timken said:

“I'm Catholic, I'm pro-life. I go around the state of Ohio visiting pregnancy centers, because if you're going to be pro-life, you also have to help that mother if they choose life to bring that baby into the world. And help them along the process in their pregnancy and then help them afterwards with the items that they need to be a successful mother and parent and have a successful child.”
