Thursday A Day of Victory

Busy day out on the road as we were off to Kindersley to pickup a suburban that has been donated to the ranch. This is a one of a kind Diesel suburban and it really looks like a ranch wagon. We also spent time with family and they did not want to let us out the door to go home, wow what a great feeling. Not a day goes by without a new donor or supplies that we need.

What a life, go ahead Give God a chance, were ever your life is at right now, at this very moment take a few minutes and surrender it all to Jesus, even for just for a few minutes, cause if you are doing it for real we believe that in those few minutes your world and life will change that's how much God loves you.

You ask what would I do in those few minutes, well seeing how you asked this is just a suggestion but you can bend your knees forward till your body falls down on your knees, then look up and say Lord forgive me of all that I have done wrong and if you feel fit to give me a fresh start you can do it now cause for these next few minutes only I am all yours.(remember you got to be real and sincere) Now if nothing happens you may have caught God off guard, like not expecting those words out of your mouth. So feel free to take a break and do try again. He is listening but He may be in a bit of shock.

Twenty Two Great Suggestions and Quotes.

ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully , and when you say you'll pray , pray it's that important.

TWO ... Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, your conversational skills will be as important as any other , especially with your best friend beside you.

THREE. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have, Bless others regularly, God has blessed you for a reason and oh ya sleep all you want every weekend.

FOUR . When you say, 'I love you ,' mean it like Jesus did!

FIVE. When you say, 'I'm sorry,' look the person in the eye, and you'll see a miracle.

SIX ..... Be engaged at least six months before you get married, and seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.

SEVEN.. Believe in love at first sight, the wait is worth it God has the right person for each of us.

EIGHT. Never laugh or mock at anyone's dream or vision. People who don't have dreams and visions don't have much and will often do what ever to destroy others.

NINE . Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely, just ask Jesus.

TEN. . In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.

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.

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.

Psalm 23 (King James Version)

Psalm 23

¹The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

²He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

³He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

⁴Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

⁵Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

⁶Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
