Summoned By Jesus

(Please click on the title to see full post.) Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Wes Knadle. This is my first post.  It happens to be passion week (Easter) 2023. The blog has been started at the urging of others… because of a “call to go and a ‘word’ from the Lord”…

Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. The “call” and message are intertwined. It began when my wife, Renee, had a seizure and was rushed to the hospital.…

Please allow me to take a short detour from the blog pathway I have been going down. It has occurred to me that the blog seems a little self-centered. If so I apologize. I am only trying to relate how God has been leading me. But I want to say clearly and right up front,…

I need to take another detour…one I think and hope you will like. However, this is a very personal experience with many pictures of my travels. You may choose to forgo this blog post and move along to more about ‘the call and the message.’ Planned 6 months before this post, I committed to “go”…

As previously mentioned, I did not include God in my first marriage. But it was the failure of that marriage that led me to the Lord. After receiving the Lord and trying to understand God’s touch in my life, I asked the Lord to lead me into what he would have me know. He led…

(Please click on the title to see full post.) Upon accepting the Lord 35 years ago, I felt a deep stirring to be alone with and hear from the Lord. I felt a need for a quiet place. A solemn place. I thought of a Christian retreat about 45 minutes from my home. I knew…
