Fridays Frenzy

So the rain just keeps coming and

coming and we keep slip sliding away in all the mud. Last evening we had another 1 & 1/2 inches of rain along with a bit of hail. These are the pictures I forgot yesterday of the swather home safe and sound. Thank you so much to Ron and Laurie and we know God will continue to bless them for their goodness to the ranch project.

James, Dave and Danny also finished the siding on the south side of the building and does it ever look good.

Tomorrow July 24 is work day at

the ranch and we would love to

see you all.

In the last days', God says, 'I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams'. Acts 2:17

Nearly everything we see and experience in this world that comes from the efforts of our fellow man is the result of what was once only a dream or vision. The computer you are reading this from or the chair you are seated in, were first in the mind of a person.That's the power in dreaming or in visions. One man,William Lloyd Garrison had a dream/vision to abolish slavery. He dared to dream this in a day (early 1800's) when slavery in the US was economically profitable. Note, even the influential governing body of one church declared that slavery was instituted by God. But Garrison had a dream, a vision. For over 30 years he risked his life and fortune to publish a newspaper called the Liberator.He is one of many examples that continued on believing in his dream and it became reality.I wonder where the seed of that dream started, hmm....

When you discover your purpose, you will feel it's demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a desire to get to work on it. Sometimes you will awake with new thoughts and ideas and know that God is guiding you in this purpose. Or maybe we will be caught up in someone else's dream/vision and be part of it to help bring it along and into reality.Be mindful to test it, check in with Holy Spirit's direction.

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.Rom12:2

God's word says, ASK, SEEK, KNOCK, ....do we believe in the dream of a Better Canada? Are we having faith in evidence not always seen? He says have faith, stand firm, I will never leave you nor forsake you...we are to be His hands & feet.Sometimes it's hard to hang on and fight the good fight but again He says, do not grow weary in well doing.

They that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength, they will mount up on wings as eagles...

His word says where two or more are gathered and are in agreement.....

So, prayer partners, continue to stand in the gap praying for each other and our government that is; and that Godly men and women in these positions will choose to stand firm. That those in authority at all levels of government will look to do the right thing for the people of this nation.May they choose to listen to the Still, Small voice that speaks to them in their dreams.

For God also says, " I know the plans I have for you...."

Praise be to our Father, Son, Holy Spirit....Hallelujah!

Stand firm,my friends,have faith,

Louise, Diane & Harold

Thank you once again for taking the time to view our blog.The Battle River Ranch Camp is a non profit organization that is focused on developing trades, life skills and training opportunities for men and women that are searching and find it difficult to get the opportunities needed to develop a productive life skill. Many men and women today have no idea what they could be good at or how to find out their possible skill area or level. We are a faith based training center. Harold and Diane Stephan left a life filled with addictions and bad choices. Their journey has taken them through different twelve step programs and life recovery through a relationship and healing process with Jesus Christ. If it were not for caring people in their lives that never gave up on them or thought they were a hopeless cause they too would still be lost. We would love to hear from you and if you feel this is a program and facility that would help you or someone that you know, or you would like to be more involved with a ministry like this or support it financially we would love to talk to you and would very much appreciate your help in what ever way you can. This is a ministry for those that have a heart and desire to make a difference in the lives of others with the skills and gifts they have been blessed with and have a desire to pass on what they know to the next generation. You are always welcome to visit and we look forward to your input. This ministry is prayer based, and we pray daily for the needs of others, if you have a need for prayer and not sure where to start give us a call and we will confidentially support and help you in this area.
