Dear Battle Ready Community,
This was not just a medical crisis. It was a war.
When Steve Boyls was admitted to the ICU with severe COVID-19 complications, he spent 45 days on a ventilator and more than three and a half months fighting for his life.
Doctors prepared for loss. But Heaven had another plan. And his wife refused to surrender.
Faith Under Fire
Dr. Kathy Boyls — a seasoned physician with over 30 years of medical experience — found herself battling more than a virus. She faced:
• Hospital bureaucracy
• Restrictive protocols
• Medical resistance
• And what she describes as intense spiritual warfare
Prayer warriors gathered. Intercessors mobilized. Declarations were made. What unfolded was not passive faith. It was combat faith.
A Battle in Two Realms
While Kathy fought on earth, Steve was ushered beyond the veil into Heaven. He encountered:
• Overwhelming light
• The joy of reunion with their unborn son
• Friends and loved ones
• And a powerful encounter with Jesus — including a breathtaking vision of His warhorses
And when Steve returned, he carried a message: This life is worth the fight and Jesus is returning “very soon.”
Victory Has a Witness
Now, this testimony in the book I’ve Been to Heaven by Steve and Kathy Boyls, M.D. and Battle Ready News Founder Troy Anderson, has broken through to the ECPA Christian Bestsellers List, ranking #23 in Christian New Releases. Upon its release by Chosen Books/Baker Publishing Group, it hit #1 “Hot New Release” in “Near-Death Experiences” on Amazon.
This recognition is more than publishing success. It is a public declaration: Prayer still works. Spiritual warfare is real. And victory belongs to those who stand.
In an hour when culture grows darker and faith is tested, God is elevating stories that remind the Church to stay battle ready.
A Call to the Remnant
We are not called to retreat. We are called to endure. We are called to pray. We are called to fight the good fight of faith.
The Boylses’ story is proof that even when the enemy presses hard, Heaven moves. And sometimes the greatest victories are won behind hospital doors, on ventilators, and on prayer knees.
The King is coming. Stand firm. Stay battle ready.
With strength and conviction,
Battle Ready News
Closing Prayer
Father God,
In the name of Jesus Christ, our conquering King, we thank You for this victory testimony. We thank You that when death knocked at the door, You answered with resurrection power.
Lord, we declare that You are still the Great Physician. You are still the Defender. You are still the Commander of Heaven’s armies.
We thank You that when protocols said “prepare for loss,” Heaven said “prepare for breakthrough.”
Strengthen every family fighting battles behind closed doors right now. Strengthen every spouse standing in faith when doctors speak doubt. Strengthen every intercessor who refuses to retreat.
We rebuke fear. We rebuke despair. We rebuke every demonic assignment sent to steal, kill, or destroy.
We declare life. We declare victory. We declare that prayer still shifts outcomes.
Lord, raise up a remnant that knows how to fight on their knees. Raise up warriors who will not surrender under pressure. Let testimonies like this ignite courage in Your Church.
And as the days grow darker, let Your light break through with even greater power.
We stand firm. We stay watchful. We remain battle ready.
In Jesus’ mighty name,
Amen.
