"The modern Christmas ornament ball is descended from the witch ball. According to an ancient tale, the ornament was originally placed on the tree to dispel a visitor’s envy at the presents left beneath the tree."
Sometimes a ball is just a ball though.

Yep Faulty, once a ball always a ball, but in the hands of those who know a lot more than you and I know, they can be a spiritual weapon, which they are. Don't be deceived, after all, we know who the enemy is, and it's within and without, just like the other thread about the "devil's advocate". They try to push things under the carpet as if all things are harmless, when in fact they are not.
Any power the devil has is only the power we give him. Jesus defeated him on the cross and stripped him of his power.
Sounds like that globe was just another trick of the devil to me.
Yep Sharon, I've claimed that many times, but when things start to begin to disappear from your home, and little things begin to happen and you think you are imagining things, then you will be surprised how subtle the enemy is with his "wiles". I can speak from experience, get rid of it!
