An hour of Prayer on the Howard Stern Show??!!

That may sound like an opening line to some sarcastic joke.  Impossible you say..Howard Stern is soooo nasty and raunchy.. and why in the world would he let that happen you might think.  And you may think even if by some cosmic miracle it would end up being a joke and the name of Jesus Christ certainly wouldn't be lifted up.  Who would be that crazy to put themselves in that situation, be opened up to cynical secular listeners who would make a mockery of who ever was brave enough to come on.

Well hold on to your keyboard folks.. it is for real, it has happen and I may say after listening to the show Jesus was lifted up and lives were touched.

Bill Keller of liveprayer.com somehow, some way, was invited to sit in on Howard Stern's show and have an hour of prayer and taking people's questions.  Bill was tough but compassionate and told the truth and lifted up Jesus Christ, reaching out to those who may never hear that Jesus loves them and their life has purpose.  What an incredible opportunity.  You have to know God is moving and his spirit is being poured out for something like this to happen.

Impossible you say?  Nope.. you can hear it for yourself here.  WARNING! Stern's program is uncensored and there is language on this audio clip not suitable for children!

May all believers be inspired by Bill who stepped into the lion's den so to speak.  That is what we should be doing in our daily lives, unashamed of the truth and unafraid to share it with those who are lost and hurting and on their way to hell.

Lord, help me to become the following:

Author Unknown

"I'm a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made.

I'm a disciple of His and I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away,or be still.

My past is redeemed. My present makes sense. My future is secure.

I'm done and finished with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity.

I don't have to be right, or first, or tops, or recognized, or praised, or rewarded.

I live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by Holy Spirit power.

My face is set. My gait is fast. My goal is heaven.

My road may be narrow, my way rough, my companions few, but my guide is reliable and my mission is clear.

I will not be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back,deluded or delayed.

I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice or hesitate in the presence of the adversary.

I will not negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won't give up, shut up, or let up until I have stayed up, stored up,prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of Christ.

I am a disciple of Jesus!

I must give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes.

And when He does come for His own, He'll have no problems recognizing me. My colors will be clear!"

  1. Wow, that is incredibly interesting about Bill doing that on that show!  What a brave sincere man doing the Lord's bidding like that in such an unexpected way!  I've heard that bottom statement before and used to have it posted on my fridge til finally my whole fridge was plastered and we had to take things down.  Now it's been taken over by family photos and I suppose soon they will come down too.  LOL I don't know how my fridge does that filling up like that so fast.  Hugs,

    God can do all things through all people, it's easy to lose sight of that in this world we live.

  6. God can use anything He desires to His good purpose.  Evil pharoah's, Roman soldiers, and even Howard Stern.  I have a copy of the Unashamed in my Bible I keep and take out from time to time to give me a pep talk.  ;o)  -  Barbara
