Ecclesiastes 3: 1 & 3b
“To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven... a time to break down and a time to build...”
Much like the brilliant colors of the fall trees or the sight of a fresh snow fall, the feelings are vibrant with the changed spirit and opportunities for those who choose to be attentive to the turn of the seasons. God has never disappointed us with His incredible beauti and creativity. They are new every day. How many of you want the same old things? Not me. We have passed through a season of breaking ground in so many ways and we have now stepped into a season of new exciting plans and purposes of God. As Diane and I have traveled to many communities we have heard your hearts. It is a resounding echo of the heart of God. The fires are burning and God is now blowing to create a blazing flame of hope into the lives of the next generation of men and women that are seeking a future.
THE DRY SEASON HAS PASSED!
Isn't it interesting that when lighting a fire it is always the dry wood that ignites first and brings the greatest flames. The Lord showed us that there are many, many people all over this nation who have been hidden and have even been feeling dried up and that nobody even notices or cares. These people have been on the heart of the Lord! Drawing near to Him, praying and waiting. God sees and has prepared them to create His fire. They are a part of a new fire that reveals the heat of God's glory. Because they have done their work, remained faithful, been hidden, no longer needing the lime light, God can now trust them and He is bringing them forth. God now is wanting to set this nation, the nation of Canada, on fire with His glory, with His purposes, with His Heart. He desires to set it afire -- to set it ABLAZE!!!!.
God is calling for new prayer released from His heart, ablaze with His fire, filled with His voice. Remember the burning bush that Moses saw? That bush was on fire. But with what was that bush filled? It was God's presence, His voice. This is what God wants to do right now with you, speaking to our communities with a strong new blaze.
In communicating to as many of you as possible, we are asking God that we would be as Moses coming to that burning bush. He must have felt like saying, "I am of no use. I am old and dried up. My time has come and gone." But God was preparing him to be set on fire to go forward in His name. Moses' work was not over when he thought it was. It was just beginning. Every word that God had said, God did.
I know there are many of you who still have much to give. It is time to live and not die. God is now establishing many people who have this heart to be set ablaze for God and his purposes. Our hope is that you also want everything within you to bring the fire and hope of God to our families and communities.
It is time to be set on fire for God and to build hope into lives set aside by apathy and selfishness.
“And to all you successful business men and women, I want to say this is your time. You have an opportunity that is unprecedented, that you have never had before. God is opening up something to each of you through this tremendous gate that He has put in place. It is God's hour. It is your hour for the business of Canada to arise. There is a blessing God wants to give them. There is a new peace He wants to give you, because He wants you to walk through His gate to bring forth the new strong hope of this nation in a mighty powerful way. To awaken us all to the times in which we live that He is causing an army of professionals to arise in this hour. God has prepared us for this time in all history. We hope to see some amazing things happen with The Battle River Ranch Camp it isn't hopeless like some believe. It has been waiting for the embers to be fanned. God is going to cause the ministry to arise, because He has an army of men and women that believe our families are worth it. An army of prayer, praying men and women that are arising in our communities to cover the beautiful vision of hope to stand in agreement with Him for what He intends to do in the lives of our young adults.
AMEN!
In 2013 , Please pray for us as we seek God's face for direction.
Thank you all for your faithfulness and we look forward to seeing you all in 2013. We send much love and wish you all a very blessed Christmas and an amazing exciting New Year.
*************HOPE FOR MORE*************
We as the family of the ranch believe there is so much more hope for each of you and us. Our heart is to always live out the love of God and His Son Jesus in a world that is desperate for real love. If you are struggling in any way with were your life is at, then at this moment take a few minutes and slowly say the prayer that Jesus gave us. Many say what good will that do, just do it and see.
If you need a break from the wreckage of life, jump in your car, truck or motorcycle and get on out here to the ranch. There are lots of hearts and hugs awaiting you.
Do you know that it is for the same reason an atheists cannot find God a drug dealer cannot find a police officer. WOW go figure!!!!!!
The Battle River Ranch Camp is a one and first of a kind, entry level faith based, trades and life skills opportunity facility. Offering an option to anyone that has been searching for an opportunity and is serious about finding out their area of strength and work place career possibilities.
Out hope and prayer is to let as many of you know about the ranch as possible so that the hope it will bring, the lives it will change and the encouragement it will provide, can start as soon as possible.
The ranch will be a one of a kind facility and will offer an option to many like no other. When God has a plan and like our friends Mike and Pastor Lyle wisely told us just keep your focus and don't let the distractions pull you away from God's purpose.
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 and positive life skill.
Many men and women today have no idea about their future or what they could be good at and to how find out their possible skill area or level. We are a faith based and mentor based training facility and our hope is with the help of anyone that has a heart for helping so many to give each person that comes to the ranch an opportunity to find the skills they were created for.
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.
