Battle Ready News — Christmas Eve Special
Dear Battle Ready Family,
On Christmas Eve, we remember a holy paradox: the King of kings arrived not on a warhorse, but in a manger. Heaven’s answer to a trembling world wasn’t louder propaganda or stronger empires—it was Jesus Christ, wrapped in humility, announced by angels, and received by the lowly.
That’s why Christmas still speaks to nations in crisis.
And it’s why tonight’s headlines matter.
In a widely watched year-end address, President Donald Trump framed the past year as a national turnaround—border enforcement, economic relief, and a renewed posture of strength—then closed with a Christmas message to the American people. In the middle of that speech came a striking announcement: a $1,776 “Warrior Dividend” for roughly 1.45 million U.S. service members, timed for Christmas and tied symbolically to America’s founding year.
What the President Declared in This Christmas Season
In a recent address to the nation, delivered as America enters the Christmas season, President Donald Trump offered a sweeping assessment of the state of the country—casting the past year as a decisive turning point after what he described as national decline.
Opening with the words, “Eleven months ago, I inherited a mess—and I’m fixing it,” the President framed his message as both an accounting of restoration and a statement of resolve heading into the new year.
Rather than speaking only in policy terms, the address was layered with symbolism, national memory, and a call to reclaim identity—making it especially resonant in a season when Americans are already reflecting on faith, freedom, sacrifice, and destiny.
A Nation Reversed
The President described the country he inherited as one burdened by:
Historic inflation that made daily life unaffordable
An open border that allowed millions to enter illegally, including violent criminals
Rising crime, weakened law enforcement, and cultural chaos
Trade policies that favored foreign nations over American workers
He placed responsibility squarely on a political system he said served insiders and global interests rather than law-abiding citizens.
“We didn’t need new legislation to fix the border. We needed a new president.”
Border, Safety, and Strength
The address highlighted aggressive border enforcement and public safety measures, claiming:
A sustained halt to illegal border crossings
Accelerated deportation of violent criminals
A dramatic reduction in drug trafficking
Improved safety in major cities
Record military enlistment after prior historic lows
He described these shifts as evidence that order can be restored quickly when leadership changes.
Peace Through Strength
On the global stage, the President declared that American strength had stabilized volatile regions, citing:
The resolution of multiple international conflicts
The neutralization of major nuclear threats
A strengthened military unmatched worldwide
He presented this not as conquest, but deterrence—arguing that peace follows clarity, not weakness.
Economic Restoration
The President detailed what he described as rapid economic improvement:
Falling prices for fuel, food, travel, and housing
Wages rising faster than inflation
Record levels of private-sector job creation
Trillions in investment returning manufacturing and industry to U.S. soil
Central to this strategy, he emphasized tariffs—encouraging companies to build in America or face consequences.
Tax Relief and the “Big Beautiful Bill”
He highlighted sweeping tax reforms, including:
No tax on tips
No tax on overtime
No tax on Social Security benefits for seniors
He projected significant savings for American families and an unusually large tax refund season ahead.
The $1,776 Warrior Dividend
The most powerful and symbolic moment of the address came with the announcement of a special Christmas payment to America’s military.
More than 1.45 million service members will receive $1,776 each, described as a “Warrior Dividend”—explicitly tied to 1776, the year of America’s founding.
“In honor of our nation’s founding in 1776, we are sending every soldier $1,776.”
In a Christmas season centered on sacrifice, this gesture carried unmistakable symbolism—honoring those who stand watch while the nation rests.
A Closing Vision
The address concluded with a forward-looking call as America approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, urging the nation to remain:
Loyal to its citizens
Faithful to its workers
Confident in its identity
Certain of its destiny
The message closed not as a campaign speech, but as a Christmas-season appeal—that the nation remember who it is, what it stands for, and what it must guard.
Christmas, Courage, and the Meaning of “1,776”
Whether you agree or disagree with the politics, the number is not accidental.
1776 points to the Declaration of Independence—the language of liberty, responsibility, and the conviction that rights come from God, not government. It is a reminder that America was not merely built by power, but by principle.
So what does a “$1,776 check” communicate?
Honor — a public thank-you to those who stand watch while others sleep
Memory — an echo of America’s founding story, where liberty came at a cost
Message — a signal that the nation’s identity is once again being contested
And here’s the Christmas connection:
Just as God entered history in Bethlehem to confront sin and darkness with truth and grace, we are living in a moment when history presses hard—demanding that people choose what they will serve: comfort or conviction, fear or faith, silence or truth.
“For unto us a Child is born… and the government shall be upon His shoulder.” (Isaiah 9:6)
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (John 1:5)
Why These Messages Matter in This Christmas Hour
Battle Ready News was founded by Troy Anderson out of a calling to help believers discern the times, understand Scripture, and stand firm as biblical prophecy collides with modern events.
The themes reflected in this Christmas Eve message—spiritual warfare, national identity, sacrifice, and hope—are the very foundations of the books that have shaped this platform.
In The Trump Code, Troy Anderson investigates the convergence of prophecy, history, and leadership—asking whether America is living in a pivotal, once-in-a-generation moment where choices made now will echo for decades. The book challenges readers to look beyond headlines and recognize the spiritual dimension behind political and cultural upheaval.
Its sequel, Designated Disrupter, goes even deeper—revealing how God has historically raised up unlikely individuals to confront entrenched systems, disrupt corruption, and call nations back to truth. In a time when darkness presses hard, the book reminds believers that disruption is often the precursor to revival.
In Revelation 911, co-authored with Pastor Paul Begley, ancient biblical prophecies are examined alongside today’s accelerating global events—wars, deception, lawlessness, and unrest—confirming that the signs Jesus warned about are no longer distant, but unfolding in real time.
That prophetic investigation continues in Trump vs. The Beast, the sequel to Revelation 911, which examines the rising global power structures, elite systems, and spiritual forces described in the Book of Revelation. The book confronts the reality that the battle unfolding in our world is not merely political, but biblical—a struggle between truth and deception, freedom and control, light and darkness. It calls believers to vigilance, courage, and spiritual readiness as the contours of the beast system become increasingly visible.
In Your Mission in God’s Army, co-authored with Colonel David Giammona, Troy Anderson shifts the focus from global analysis to personal calling. Drawing on Scripture and military leadership principles, the book equips believers to understand their God-given assignment in this critical hour—teaching spiritual discipline, readiness, and obedience for those who recognize that following Christ means being enlisted in a greater battle. It is a call not to passivity, but to purposeful service under the command of the true King.
And in I’ve Been to Heaven, readers are invited to lift their eyes beyond the turmoil of this world. Through a powerful firsthand account, the book offers a glimpse of eternity—reminding us that hope is real, heaven is real, and this life is not the end of the story.
Together, these books form a single message for this hour: Be watchful. Be grounded in truth. Be courageous. Be ready.
On Christmas Eve, as we remember that God entered history to rescue humanity, these messages point us back to the same eternal truth: Light still overcomes darkness. God is still sovereign. And His people are called to stand.

A Battle-Ready Note on Discernment
Battle Ready doesn’t mean gullible. It means awake.
Some outlets have reported that the funding mechanism for the $1,776 payment is not tariff revenue, but tied to previously approved Pentagon and housing-related funding included in major legislation.
So we hold two truths at once:
Symbolism matters — leaders use it for a reason
Facts matter — God’s people must love truth
Discernment is not cynicism. Discernment is clarity.
What Battle Ready Believers Should Do Tonight
Pray for those who serve — protection, righteousness, and revival in the ranks
Pray for national repentance — because no policy can heal what only God can restore
Guard your home — spiritually and practically: faith, family, finances, and freedom
Keep Christmas holy — don’t let noise steal your wonder
A Christmas Eve Prayer for America and Our Warriors
Lord Jesus,
On this Christmas Eve, we worship You as Savior and King. Thank You for coming in humility to break the power of sin and bring light into darkness. We lift up our service members—those deployed, those training, those carrying unseen burdens. Strengthen them, protect them, and surround their families with peace.
We pray for America: turn our hearts back to You. Expose corruption, restrain evil, and raise up leaders with courage and humility. Make Your Church bold, pure, and compassionate—ready for the harvest and unafraid of the battle.
Let the miracle of Bethlehem awaken us again: You still enter history. You still save. You still reign.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
