​I feel like the Father wants to impart wisdom to us in this hour. Most of you know I've been in my house for like a month and He said, “I'm grounding you.”  Jesus, thank you. We need to stay grounded. In our search for the high places He said, “I'm bringing you to the low places.”  When I went to the Billy Graham Museum a few months back, we couldn't enter the house, but you had to go through the door at the foot of the cross.
He's bringing us back to a place of utter dependence on Him. I've never seen in my life so much need for the Body of Christ to come together and to love one another and to be there for one another. He’s not punishing us, He’s redefining us. Yes, He’s been silencing the prophets because the Apostolic is coming forth and we need the Apostolic to bring things into alignment. I was reading Ezekiel 37 and everything looked dead and dry, but actually He was calling us to come together; the bones and the senews and everything coming together. It was the alignment of the body coming together that created the army and sometimes the army must take a little bit of a reprieve. Don't think that you're out of order or out of his will because there's a reset or it's a moment of silence or it could even be a moment of darkness. In our quest sometimes for movement, we always feel like God's on the move, so we must be on the move.
Sometimes when the children of Israel were on the move, they moved into the wilderness, and it was very much the will of God. In our utter dependence on Him, we’re recognizing that the Father is going before us and He has prepared the way. It's not because He's creating this needy people, we've moved beyond that that. Sometimes that way He’s prepared is silence, sometimes it's stillness; it's a reset. We don’t have to know everything.
The caution I have right now is because of what what's happening in the prophetic movement. Don’t let the enemy silence you; the pure will come forth. The trick and plan of the enemy is to cause you to scrutinize everything you do and everything you say, but you’re actually creating a larger capacity for the work of the spirit.
The other day I was doing a mentoring, and I was so weak physically, but my spirit man was so alive. Your spirit is alive, it is well, you are whole, and you are being healed. Don't misconstrue your season of silence and doing nothing because we are learning the ways of God. Sometimes we have used the Holy Spirit, but we've not walked with Holy Spirit, so it is the greatest opportunity of your life right now to reset, to be still, to be silent, and to learn the ways of God.
So don’t neglect this season that you're in, it will probably be one of the most beautiful seasons of your life. 

​I honestly wrestled with where to begin writing this newsletter. This year has been joyous, busy, and at times heart wrenching, but through it all I have learned the art of contentment. Contentment is simply to sit in His presence. This brings great clarity, comfort, and peace that truly does pass all our understanding.
 
I have wrestled with seeing many friends sick and struggling on many fronts. While I have enjoyed amazing health and stamina, I somehow felt apprehensive about sharing the goodness of God while others around me were really struggling physically. I have continued to believe God and His word concerning divine health and healing.
I have witnessed God doing a deep work within His people. While I did not have answers for everyone, I knew that He was teaching us His ways. While the children of Israel wanted to see the miracles of God, it was Moses who wanted to know His ways. In the book of Isaiah, it clearly tells us that His thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways.

People really matter. Churches may come and go, and ministries may rise and fall, but it’s the relationships we build that really bring fulfillment to our lives. This past year Patricia King and Wendy Peter commissioned me to be the Director of Women on the Front Lines for the U.S. We established a monthly glory prayer hub in our region and commissioned several others to do so in other states. We had our first event in Tennessee in April. We held another event in South Dakota in the fall, and in March of this coming year, we will be hosting the WOFL Global Conference at my home church of New Day the Church at High Point in Colfax, NC. It is going to be an amazing time of ministry! Please go to https://www.wofl.org/upcoming-events to register. Registration is filling up very quickly and seats are limited. We are excited to host Patricia King, James Goll, Wendy Peter, and many others.

I taught at our apostolic school ministry each week with WOFL. We are getting ready to commission, license and ordain some of those who went through the school. I love teaching the school of the prophets as I have done over the last 20 years. I am also providing online prophetic training for my Impact partners monthly. I continue to hold many online prayer meetings globally, as well as locally. I continue to work with Stacey Campbell as part of the leadership team for Shiloh Global, an amazing army of prophetic voices reaching all spheres of society.

I continue to minister and travel, but I have limited it to ministering where I have established covenantal relationships. I continue to support and align with those on the ground working with anti-sex trafficking. I have the opportunity to go back to Thailand in the fall of 2026 to continue the work of ministering on the streets of Bangkok and supporting the mission there.

All of this is possible because of the prayerful support of all of you. There are wonderful things in store for 2026 so let’s get ready to go beyond what we think is possible and let God do it! I have a prophetic word to share the week after Christmas but let me say that we are going where we haven’t been before! It’s an exciting time and I’m happy to be on the journey with all of you!  
 
I wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! The best is yet to come!
 
Love,
Ruth

​This word is very exciting to me. The Lord said that He has been grooming people in the secret place for a new ministry that is new on the earth. He's calling some to be atmosphere shifters to behold the glory of the Lord. He’s calling them to places, into cities, into rooms, and they alone as they step in will shift and change the atmosphere from darkness to light, from bondage to liberty, from without a word. I was reminded of the scripture that says that when Elizabeth was with child and as soon as Mary walked into the room, she stepped into the room without a word and the baby in her womb leapt.
So, I just believe that when Craig spoke today, the first thing I said was, “You're going to shift the atmosphere.”  So, Father, I thank you for those that you have been grooming in the secret place to understand Your oil, to understand Your glory, Your holiness, Your presence. So, when you step into places without a word, things will change. We need change on the earth so God is looking for those that will be atmosphere shifters. How many waiting, how many are saying, “I have been in that place where the Spirit of God has been brewing on the inside of me and I can't put words to it but when I go into places sometimes there's chaos that erupts because things need to be set in order.” The earth needs you.
It's not about those that are so prolific and have weighty words of man's wisdom, but you've paid the price because you can discern His presence and you can discern His glory. If all you can say is, “You have my whole life to be a bucket of oil for healing of nations.”  I just believe that God is sealing that over some of you. It's like a day of visitation to say, “I know what I'm called to do!”
This is easier than studying to be a preacher; it's more holy and you discern the Fear of the Lord and you take that and people around you repent and people around you change their minds, their souls are healed because you're like Mary when you walk in the room the thing in your womb will leap just because you can discern His presence. Perhaps you never saw that as a ministry, but I'm telling you that's what the earth needs.

 
Family is the very heart of the gospel. More and more as I add another year to my age, I am confident in this message. Growing up in an Italian home, my mother demonstrated pure love, sacrifice, and an undying commitment for the preservation of our values. Though without a father present except an occasional telephone call, I clearly felt secure by so many extended loving relatives.
 
I have often shared how my mother prepared a meal in the middle of a cold winter on Long Island, and though we were all scattered due to a house fire, she created the most precious memory of my childhood. We gathered in the dark, candles lit, coats on, and we ate together in the house we were waiting to return to. Regardless of the circumstances, the need to gather around the table of the Lord in situations that are difficult is of utmost importance in this hour.
 
Looking back at my many decades as a believer, the relationships that have been forged along the way have been one of the greatest gifts in my life. I had a conversation with a former pastor when it was time for me to move on from that fellowship. I shared that though ministries and churches may come and go, it is the relationships that are sustained over time that really matter.
 
It’s time for the Body of Christ to take their masks off and build sustaining heart-to-heart communion and community. This was the core message of Jesus in John 17.
The Trinity is family - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The prophetic message in Malachi was that the spirit of Elijah would be the restoration of relationships between fathers and children.
 
It hurts my heart to see so many believers unsettled in their fellowship. Many wander from church to church looking for a home as their inner cry is for family. We each have a role to play in cultivating a family culture. Who is to blame? Sadly, we can point fingers at church leadership or reminisce about past church wounds. The reality is that through the work of the cross, we can freely move from brokenness into wholeness and healing.
 
The prophetic message of the hour is to come to the table of the Lord. There is a seat awaiting each of you. The beautiful picture of the last supper is forever etched in my mind. The purpose of the last supper was not only to remember the taking of the bread and the wine, but to know how important it was to the Lord to simply gather with His disciples.
I encourage you to carry the message of hope, healing, and forgiveness to all you meet on your journey.
 
Wounds are real and life has its challenges. The earth is crying out for the manifestation of sons and daughters. What does that really look like? Christ laid down His very life for us to experience His undying love for humanity. We need to grasp deep within our soul; it was the relationship that mattered.
 
I have experienced brokenness of heart, and thankfully I am on a lifelong journey of letting the Father love me. I am changed through the unconditional acceptance of the Godhead. Ministry is not about programs, endless listening to podcasts, or even church attendance. Gifts, mantles, callings, and prophecies will cease. As a prophetic voice in this hour, I am always challenged to listen and release the word of the Lord. But the reality is the word of the Lord is to empower people, help them see their God-given potential, and grow in love. Much of the brokenness we have seen in leaders has been due to isolation, shame, and a failure to embrace healing.
 
As a prophetic generation, we can do better. Judgment and anger need to take a backseat to an embrace, a listening ear, and prayer for the restoration of family culture. In this new era, let’s revisit the ancient paths. I am so grateful for each of you. My life is richer not because of financial partnership, but because of the time we spend together on Zoom, in person, or on a phone call.
 
Be blessed and thankful in this beautiful time of changing seasons.
 
Love,
Ruth

 
I have come to realize in my walk with the Lord that there are certain things that are common to all believers. There is an ongoing need in the body of Christ for encouragement, physical and emotional healing, fellowship, a sense of belonging, and hope for the future.
I love to see God move in people’s lives. He is a good, good Father and He loves to bless His sons and daughters. I have been the recipient of His favor and goodness all my life and I know many of you can attest to the same.
 
As a prophet who encourages, it can be frustrating at times when we see the REAL need that most cannot see. Our REAL need is to move beyond our own needs. Neediness can be all consuming. It cries for answers and postures us to remain earthbound. It has a sound that demands attention. I understand it all too well.  I experienced years of bondage and selfishness, lack of fathering, and a lack of security that imprisoned me for years. My Jesus became the answer to all my needs. I set up camp there for a very long time.
 
I could not escape myself. “Help me, heal me, provide for me, I want, I need.”  I would worship for a word, praise for a feeling, fast for direction, and read the word to find my answer. I soon realized I had become what I thought I was delivered from: self-centeredness. But this time it seemed acceptable because Jesus meets all our needs. And He does. I will never underestimate the power of the cross and all that God has done for our healing and deliverance. But there is more.
 
The more is awaiting us. We have been given an invitation just as John was. Revelation 4:1 says,  “After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven, and the voice I first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, ‘Come up here and I will show you what must take place after this.’ At once I was in the spirit and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it.”
 
The remainder of that chapter goes on to describe the flashes of lightning, rumblings, and thunder, the seven lamp stands, which were blazing, the seven spirits of God, the crystal sea, and the four living creatures. Their cry was in unison. “ Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come.” They fell down before the throne and worshiped him and laid their crowns before him. He alone was the center of their attention.
 
We are changed and transformed In His presence. He alone is the object of our affection. All eye gates behold the beauty of our God. Something happens when we are caught up into the realm we came from and will return to. The things of this world and our temporal needs seem so small and insignificant.
 
The invite is to all sons and daughters. He is no respecter of persons. We were born to live in another kingdom. Remember what Jesus said?   “My kingdom is out of this world.” His thoughts were of another time and place. Yes, we can get to a place in God where we are delivered from ourselves. Galatians 2:20 reminds us, “It is no longer I who live …”
 
My advice to you in all of this is to simply come to the Lord with no agenda. Find real freedom. There are places in His presence and His glory that are more transformative than anything I have experienced in this life. Move away from your personal needs knowing that He has already promised us temporal care and security in this life.
Deep abiding trust is a beautiful way to journey through this life.
 
Love,
 
Ruth

​The older I get, the more I learn about myself. I have been told I am an atmosphere shifter. I am beginning to see how I thrive or fail to thrive according to atmospheres. In Genesis, heaven is referred to as a firmament. A firmament creates a greenhouse effect. In such an environment, everything grows.
Just this morning, I planned my day according to the atmosphere. I desired to search the word, write this newsletter, and prepare for mentoring this week. I came to one of my favorite spots to accomplish those things. At home today, I felt a bit under the weather, frustrated and unable to concentrate. I escaped to my favorite coffee shop. I looked around at the most peaceful place I could find. It was on a sofa in the lobby available to study, sip coffee, be alone, or whatever. I found a nearby water fountain and was facing the greenery outside. I could hear, process, and receive revelation easily in this spot.
I love silence, trees, coffee, and the sound of water. It is a heavenly place in time. I need these often. I am drawn to lakes, rivers, trees, gardens, and walks in a park. I thrive in a piece of heaven on earth. I hope dark roast awaits me at the marriage supper of the lamb!
I often tell people to create or find the environment you so desire. Just as an infant flourishes in the womb, it grows and is sustained and protected by the environment of the mother. In Psalm 139 it says, “when we were created in the secret place.”  It is referring to being covered and shaped. The environment of the womb is similar to a greenhouse.
A few weeks ago, at a prophetic gathering, the Spirit hovered over us all day. Everyone could sense and discern it . In this atmosphere, all can prophesy.  When Saul was in the company of prophets, he prophesied.
In contrast, your spirit knows when it is defiled, stifled, or at odds with an antichrist spirit. We were created for heaven. That is why we yearn for peace, rest, and stillness. The garden is where we flourish.
There was a song in the 70’s that Joni Mitchell sang and the words always ring true to my heart. “They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.”
Find your garden. Make one. Design one. Create the place you long for and will flourish in. Just as the Holy Spirit broods over chaos, the word spoken can change it all. Name your place. It will be your hiding place, your “go to” for refreshing. Sadly, many wait for an annual vacation and spend hundreds of dollars to escape the so-called rat race. In reality, they know what they need. While in Greensboro the other day, I noticed how much greenery and beauty were at my fingertips. The city is known as having some of the most beautiful parks in the nation. Paradise is what you long for and are created for.
As you are sustained and nourished in the Lord, you become the instrument of peace and rest for others.  In your presence, they encounter the Prince of Peace. You can actually carry the essence of heaven on earth. That will define you as an atmosphere shifter.
We can become so complicated in our walk with our Creator that we lose the childlike faith and wonder of our God. Jesus spoke in parables. He used the natural to reveal deep spiritual truths. He spoke of birds soaring and diverse types of soil.
Where do you thrive? Create your heavenly atmosphere. No matter what season you find yourself in, you can always find Him in that special meeting place.
I bless you to prosper, be in health, mature in all aspects of His nature, and bear much fruit for the Kingdom.
I love and appreciate you all!
Ruth

​We are living in some exciting times!  I believe with my whole heart that we have been destined for this hour! We have a beautiful opportunity to represent Jesus in all His beauty so that cynicism can no longer reign in His bride, the church!
I have been on a sabbatical from Facebook and just finished a 40-day fast from ice cream!!! Yes, I have been tempted! It’s all about the little things sometimes!!
What Holy Spirit revealed during my time in the desert of California was His amazing kindness. You see, when I was growing up, mom was on welfare, and we ate government peanut butter. Clothes were handed down from my cousin and vacations were an occasional bus trip to my cousin’s home in New Jersey.
I reflected on all of this recently while in my personal casita (much like a tiny home) on my brother’s new property in Palm Springs. They told me it was my second home. I could step outside to the pool area and hot tub. In my time of reflection, I could not believe how God has shown such favor; it is humbling and amazing. “From Government Peanut Butter to Palm Springs” should be the title of a book!
When I left my brother’s after being in Palm Springs for a week, I drove alone through the desert into Arizona for a women’s conference. This caused me to reflect how He had delivered me from agoraphobia. Before I knew Jesus, I feared leaving familiar surroundings. What kindness and favor He has shown! I have been to 20 nations and several times I flew alone. I stand in awe of the One who restores and redeems!
In Maricopa, I was commissioned by Wendy Peters and Patricia King as the USA Director of Women on Frontlines. This caused me to reflect once again. In junior high school, I was voted as Class President but was kicked out of my position for starting a fire in the Home Economics classroom. Again, redemption is evident!
As a prophetic people, if we fail to acknowledge His kindness, we too can fall into cynicism. Never lose your childlike wonder! Gratitude is very empowering! The Levitical laws speak of thankfulness in peace offerings, and we know that the children of Israel could not enter the Promised Land because of grumbling and complaining (Exodus 15:22-17:7).
Prophetic people can be so serious at times, and we must learn to balance that with joy and childlike wonder! It will strengthen and empower you to release hope, expectation, and greater realms of faith to others.
I’m so excited to be traveling to Italy later this month to minister with Women on the Frontlines Italy led by Vita Panico.   Also, partners please be sure to join me for Coffee Chat on March 12 and Leadership Mentoring on March 20. Those links are on my Facebook Mentoring page.  I continue to lead The Daniel Company monthly call for Abner and LeAnne Suarez with For Such a Time as This and this month I will lead on 3.13.25 at 8:04 p.m.  Those details can be found on my website www.impactministrytriad.com.
Finally, thank you so much to my partners who make it possible to do what I do for the Kingdom.  Thank you to my intercessors for continually covering me in prayer.  And thank you to my friends who love and support me.  I can’t do what I do without you.
Blessings partners and friends,
Ruth

I delayed writing as there was so much turmoil swirling around, and I could not seem to focus my mind on things above. It is during times like this that we stand on “it is written.” Thankfully, I had enough clarity to worship Him. As a “feeler” prophet, I need to take much needed space to reset and gain proper perspective.
As I write this, I do so from my home in High Point, a few hours away from the majestic mountains of North Carolina. So many friends live in devastation and thankfully they have all survived, but many without their homes. In times of chaos and uncertainty on so many fronts, you begin to understand that life is but a vapor, and what seems to be important in one season can seem so insignificant in another.
For many months, the Lord had been preparing my heart. I could not quire discern it at the time, but He spoke a word to me this past spring.  He said, “Don’t be task oriented, be people oriented.” I would tell others that I was called to love the person in front of me. The once weightiness of taking on a national ministry, in addition to serving others, has become clearer in the last month. I am being reduced to just being a love vessel. We need prophets who love unconditionally, speak truth in love, and prophesy the heart of God not just from a gift.  They can walk away from the limelight to serve humanity. The beauty of the gospel is demonstrated in the man who walked the earth feeding the multitudes and suffering much shame and ridicule for you and me to have the ultimate role model. I am humbled beyond words that I fall short so many times; yet the love of God is the most powerful force on the earth, and very few understand the simplicity of letting God in the deep places of the heart.
So how shall we live in these perilous times? We are called to live above the snake line, gain heaven’s perspective, and discipline our minds to live in the superior realm. We often boast that we are supernatural people, yet we hold onto patterns of thinking that cause us to react as the world does. There has been a clarion call to take the time to be still, reset, and let the Ruach Breath of God fill you with all that you need in this hour. It is imperative as believers to keep your lamps full. There is an unending supply of fresh oil, fresh fire, and most importantly the Father’s embrace to keep you in peace and joy despite sorrow and despair all around. We will be the safe place. This is the power to transform society. Perhaps our prayers for revival are being answered in a way we did not expect. I saw a man rescuing a woman and a baby from a car about to move downstream in the flood. Boots on the ground have been our mantra. Perhaps this is that; just a thought. Like the flight attendant tells you when you’re about to fly, put on your own oxygen mask before you put one on someone else.
So, my prophetic word to you is quite simple. You are God’s chosen vessel in this hour. Let God lavish so much love on you that you have more than enough to release to others with simple acts of kindness and the demonstration of signs and wonders. Let Holy Spirit lead the way. Hold things very loosely in this hour so you can swiftly change courses if necessary.
There is an increase in discernment and understanding as we move forward. We will need it in the hour in which we live. Do not forsake gathering with the body. We have been placed here IN this hour and FOR this hour. Holy Spirit is always right alongside empowering us, leading us, and releasing heaven’s perspective. I bless you to see, hear, and be strengthened with power in your inner man.
I stand with the apostle Paul and decree this to you.  “And I pray that He would pour out over you the unlimited riches of His glory and favor until supernatural strength floods your innermost being with His divine might and explosive power. When your spiritual strength increases you will be empowered to discover what every holy one experiences-the great magnitude of the astonishing love of Christ in all its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far and reaching is his love! How enduring and inclusive it is! Endless love beyond measurement, beyond academic knowledge, this extravagant love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God. Eph. 3:17-19 (TPT)
