A friend gave me this candle to display in my window last Christmas. The story behind the Christmas candle in the window goes back to a popular traditional Irish Christmas decoration, harkening back to that ancient Christmas Eve when Mary and Joseph could find no shelter. The symbology of a lighted Christmas candle indicated our homes would be offered as a safe haven for travelers seeking shelter.

Thank you @KimFairchild for forwarding this song to me today. Perfect timing.
My daughter-in-love Jennifer passed away early this morning from a long painful battle with an incurable cancer. Papa woke me up a 2:45 AM and I knew she had passed. She is in His presence in glory now. She leaves behind my son Ryan and three children.
Thank you everyone for your prayers! Even though I am broken hearted I have such an overwhelming peace.

More inspiration and a gentle reminder of the power of our God.

“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!”
Psalm 34:8 ESV

Hey friends, starting today you all are going to see a new admin for this channel. Don’t worry I am not going anywhere, or cutting back on content. In fact we will be more like a team here on Call To Battle working together to bring you even more encouraging godly content.
Please welcome Kim Fairchild! I met Kim through @ThinMint channel during Kris’s crisis with her husband a few years ago.

In fact never in my life have I met so many wonderful friends nor expected the impact it would have on my life personally within this network of social media.

This is all the Lord’s doing and I give glory to Him for putting me in this position in the first place so it is an honor and blessing to be a part of it.

Thank you Kim for joining Call To Battle and for helping me play whack-a-mole with the spammers😆 Lord willing we can keep them at bay.

Me: “Lord, what do You want me to know today?”
God: “Spend time in prayer every day. Look for pockets of time in your day where you can talk to Me on your own behalf and on behalf of others.
“Listen to the nudging of My Holy Spirit. When you sense a need to pray for someone, do not put it off till later. When I call My prayer warriors into action, the time is now. No matter how short your prayer may be, I will hear it and act upon it.”
Col.1:9 (NIV) ~ “For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,”

Testimony Tuesday

I have two videos for you today.
The first one is an amazing testimony of a man who finds himself in what seems like a hopeless situation. Watch how Jesus shows up and gives him strength.

The second one is about a miraculous reunion. God is always in the details!

As our 2024 Christmas season comes to an end, I ran across this beautiful song sung by Riley Clemmons. I hope it inspires you to adore our Lord now and always.

Thought I would repost this sweet little song again. Start the new year, being grateful and thankful while praising the Lord!

I’m caught up in your presence worshipping it’s just me and Him.

Bison are the only animal that turn into a snowstorm rather than away from it because they instinctively know that walking into the storm will get them out of the weather quicker. There may be a life lesson for humans in this. It also makes for some epic pictures.

So whatever 2025 has got for us, bring it on! Good bye 2024, hello 2025!
Happy New Year!
