The Ranch Vision
Today, February 10, 2014, marks the 34th year since God called us to a retreat and restoration ministry and gave Roger the vision of the Ranch here in So. West Colorado. The number 34 means ‘endurance’ and can also be seen as 3+4 = 7 which is the Biblical number for ‘completion’ or 3×4 =12 which means ‘divine rule, power and authority.’
Over the days since the vision was given, 12,410 of them, we have learned many things, grown spiritually, and received so many confirmations from the Lord, that we simply could not walk away from what Father has destined for us. Please don’t think that many times we haven’t wanted to! But God…
Today we recall the many times He has brought people into our lives that have spoken significant words of direction and/or encouragement to us about the vision. The very first prophetic word we ever received about the ranch vision was, “YOU WILL WRESTLE THE LAND FROM THE HAND OF THE ENEMY IN THE WINTER AND YOU WILL TAKE POSSESSION OF THE LAND IN THE SPRING.”
Not long after that word was spoken, while we were serving in a Christian camp in North Alabama, He sent a couple from Cincinnati, Ohio to speak to us, “DON’T YOU EVER, EVER GIVE UP ON YOUR VISION. NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT IT BECOMES, DON’T YOU EVER, EVER GIVE UP.”
Last year He sent a couple all the way from Australia to South Carolina to tell us, “GOD HAS SENT US HALF WAY AROUND THE WORLD TO TELL YOU ‘IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO RETURN TO COLORADO TO SEE THE VISION FULFILLED.’ ”
Today we are once again encouraged by the prophetic words from Bill and Marsh Burns,
