Hannah Ruth
Yahshua said to him, “Because you have seen Me, Thomas, you have believed. Blessed are the ones not seeing, and believing.” (John 20:29 Updated 06/29/2008 YHWH has already begun the reconciliation of brethren through the Invitation to Believe. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Invitation to Believe: It has been some time since we have discussed the miracle of Hannah Ruth with many of our friends and family. It has become like an elephant in the living room that all can see but choose to ignore in hopes it will disappear. But like that elephant, this miracle simply grows as time continues. When we first began this pregnancy, we had no idea of its scope or duration…we just took it as a blessing (it still is that and more!). What started as a simple miracle of pregnancy of a 51-year-old woman who had already experienced menopause has been revealed as a 42-month (3 ½ year) miracle with tremendous prophetic implications. We have been walking in faith for years now…in education, vocation, healthcare and finances …some years were fat and some have been very lean. But YHWH has been faithful. And as HE has instructed us to do this or not do that (open and close doors), we have tried to be compliant. We are continuing this practice now. At the outset, we did not know that this was to be a very amazing pregnancy. We did not set out to do anything special; we only walked the path before us. We do not consider ourselves any more special than the children of Israel on the banks of the Red Sea. Our decisions have been in keeping with vows made to our Heavenly Father to let HIM be our physician and to care for us. We often simply take the only option available. Our having been chosen for this fantastic blessing is not because of who we are, but because of who YHWH is. The fact that we have lived flawed lives shows HIS power and not our own with this mighty act. This testimony if about HIS power and not about us. We understand how difficult it must be for those seeing this event from the outside. They do not know what we know and they have not seen the Father gently leading us and confirming with us (almost daily) that we are on the right path of waiting for HIM. They only judge by the physical norm and by our incorrect initial assumption of the date of Hannah Ruth’s birth. Sadly, some even look for reasons not to believe. Most have focused on fear of physical danger or abnormality of the pregnancy and have ignored the spiritual aspects. A believing sister wrote us saying: “The time of fullness has not yet come for you, yet, in the spiritual realm it is complete. So together with you, I stand in awe of YHWH, and wait for His plans to unfurl in His perfect timing. I do pray often that HE would let Hannah Ruth make her appearance, but you know….she has! But only to those with eyes to see and ears to hear! HalleluYAH! Until HE chooses to allow all the rest, even the scoffers, to see her….I know I have seen and believe. “ You have not seen the tears and begging we have done for YHWH to forgive us where we are wrong and to correct our ways. You do not know the incredible acts YHWH has performed along the way. Nor do you know how HE confounded and stopped medical intervention by beloved friends. You do not know how well Mary feels and how sound of mind we both are. You do not know the testimonies of miracles that YHWH has performed in the lives of other believers who have contacted us. Still, for many, it is indeed difficult or impossible to believe. As I recently told a brother, I too would probably have a hard time believing this event if it were happening to someone else. But, I would take the position that YHWH can do anything…and if I knew that the folks hear from YHWH and are walking the walk, I would say…I believe until proven otherwise. Then I would try to share the joy of anticipation. Since it is difficult for those seeing this event from the outside, we invite you to be on the INSIDE and learn of the wondrous acts that our merciful and gracious Heavenly Father, YHWH is performing. We beg you not to judge by the physical norm and by our incorrect assumptions of the date of Hannah Ruth’s birth, but to hear the rest of the testimony. This is a mighty act with a profound message… for the fields are white for harvest. We invite you to join us in hearing and seeing and believing and being part of this message from our Father to his little ones. Rusty and Mary Ames P.O. Box 901 Proctor, TX 76468 Hab 2:3 For the revelation is still for the appointed time, but it breathes to the end, and it does not lie. Though it delays, wait for it, because coming it will come; it will not tarry.
We remind you who are trying to believe, that even the disciples had trouble believing Yahshua had risen from the tomb when first told of the miracle. This even after they had personally witnessed many incredible actions, and in spite of the fact that Yahshua had told them beforehand what would happen. We want to encourage each of you who has a shred of belief in the miracle of Hannah Ruth as the marvelous workings of YHWH for HIS purpose. As you hope and wait silently for the physical manifestation of the birth of Hannah Ruth; ponder and pray. Mat 9:13 “But go and learn what this means, ‘I desire compassion and not offering.’ For I did not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners.”Yahshua wants us all to walk in faith...believing...and hoping. HE wants the strong of faith as well as the weak of faith to grow stronger, For if we can believe the miracle of Hannah Ruth, we can also believe that there is cure of a broken back, regeneration of an ill body organ, physical restoration of sight, freedom from addictions, comfort for a widow's heart, conversion of a wayward child or spouse, seed for the childless, or companionship for the isolated and lonely. We know that problems sometime come upon us because of sin or bad choices. But scripture tells us also that trials are for our purification and they are to strengthen us in our faith in YHWH and HIS power. And we know that the darkness is put into the world to magnify the light. Without darkness, we cannot distinguish light. Without trials, there is no overcoming. Many are coping with great problems, trials, challenges, and it is so easy to become self focused and concentrate on our situation while we ignore brothers and sisters who are actively walking the path that YHWH has put before them. Each has a different gift and a different challenge. And what seems monumental to some is trivial to others. The hands find it easy to clap, but the ears are unable. Your challenges and faith steps may seem greater or lesser than ours...but, in fact, they are simply the ones that YHWH, our wonderful and perfect Father, has custom designed for each of us individually. Our entire walk has been one of “WAITING ON YHWH”. Our life in the world and the business arena consisted of breaking down doors to force action and results. This is not what scripture indicates is the proper method for believers. . I reject the oft quoted but unscriptural, “Yah helps those who help themselves”. Certainly, we are to sow if we intend to reap, and this we do. However, YHWH opens the door HE wants us to walk through; we do not have to open it. We must simply seek it out, and knock on it. We use scripture, prayer, and fleeces to determine HIS desire for us. When YHWH opens a door for us…it is incredibly obvious that the door is opened. YHWH’s passageways for us skirt the worldly systems, not plunge us into the midst of them. Our lack of involvements with the Babylonian system is what gives a unique vantage point for serving as watchmen. Our physical isolation allows us to seek purity in the many aspects of life. YHWH has brought us into contact with those HE intends us to know thus far. YHWH will provide fellowship, interaction, and opportunities to give the testimony of HIS power through the miracle of Hannah Ruth at HIS time. Those who have ears will hear and give HIM praise. We ask forgiveness if we have been unduly harsh. We know that there are many who are stepping out in faith daily in some fashion or another and we want to encourage you who are doing so. And in those instances where you are weak and seem to waiver, cry out for YHWH to help shore up our weakness.. Mar 9:23 And Yahshua said to him, “If you are able to believe, all is possible to him who believes.”Mar 9:24 And immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “I believe Master, help my unbelief!”What a mighty El we serve. HE is able! Though there is genuine interest in the story of Hannah Ruth, and hope in the miracle, folks are silent in their support. Perhaps this is due to the unpopularity of belief in today's world, or the ferocity of the response of the doubters. This is ha Satan trying to divide and conquer. We pray for you daily and thank YHWH that HE is an Elohim of reconciliation, and that we are given an opportunity to serve HIM through HIS ministry. We hope for the opportunity to chat and visit with our friends soon. We excitedly wait for the appointed time for Hannah Ruth to be delivered, and we anticipate the testimony of the faith walk of our brothers and sisters.
12/26/07 To Our Believing Friends, Yes, we indeed know about waiting for YHWH…but the promise of Hannah Ruth will be fulfilled in YHWH’s timing, and we believe it should be soon. We have received and witnessed miracles of YHWH (as you have) and understand that HIS timing is perfect, and that mere men are of none effect to stop HIS will. When a man’s ways please יהוה, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. Proverbs16:7 We have grown so much and have learned so much in the many months of waiting…YHWH has segregated us so that we can let go of so many of the worldly vocations, ideas and practices that derail and sidetrack most “believers. “And that sown among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the worry of this age and the deceit of riches choke the word, and it becomes fruitless.”. Mat 13:22 During these months of trial, purifying, testing, and blessings, we have been shown who our true friends and brothers are. We have seen the very few who have the faith of a mustard seed. And then we have seen the majority who live in the carnal, natural world. So many are afraid to admit that this is the work of YHWH…simply because it raises the bar of faith for them. When a believer blindly obeys and ventures into uncharted waters, those who remain on the beach are frightened that they too may be called upon to jump in. Just as the disciples undoubtedly did when Peter stepped out of the boat to walk toward Yahshua. Sadly, it is only when we are in the water with the sharks that we can truly appreciate the salvation of YHWH when HE gives us HIS power to walk and we experience mercy through Yahshua, when HE stretches out HIS hand and lifts us up. Untested faith is worthless. We pray for you daily and thank YHWH that HE is an Elohim of reconciliation, and that we are given an opportunity to serve HIM through HIS ministry. We hope we are blessed with an opportunity to visit with our friends soon. We excitedly wait for the appointed time for Hannah Ruth to be delivered.

12/14/2007 1 Peter 4:1 Therefore, since Messiah suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, (2) so that he no longer lives the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but according to the desire of Elohim. (3) For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the desire of the nations, having walked in indecencies, lusts, drunkenness, orgies, wild parties, and abominable idolatries, (4) in which they are surprised that you do not run with them in the same flood of loose behavior, blaspheming, (5) who shall give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. (6) For this reason the Good News was also brought to those who are dead, so that, whereas they are judged according to men in the flesh, they might live according to Elohim in the spirit. (7) But the end of all has drawn near. Therefore be sober-minded, and be attentive in the prayers. (8) And above all have fervent love for one another, because love covers a great number of sins. (9) Welcome one another without grumbling. (10) As each one has received a gift, serve one another, as good trustees of the manifold favor of Elohim. (11) If anyone speaks, let it be as the Words of Elohim. If anyone serves, let it be as with the strength which Elohim provides, so that Elohim might be praised in it all through Messiah, to whom belong the esteem and the rule forever and ever. Am ( 12) Beloved ones, do not be surprised at the fiery trial that is coming upon you, to try you, as though some unusual matter has befallen you, (13) but as you share Messiah’s sufferings, rejoice, in order that you might rejoice exultingly at the revelation of His esteem. We thank YHWH for HIS wonderful revelations and work within us. And we sincerely praise HIM for those who regularly encourage us who delight and share the joy of the miracle of Hannah Ruth. We pray for blessings upon the faithful as well as the doubtful.
12-02-2007 Brethren, Some time ago, I was instructed to be a watchman according to Ezekiel 2. I have tried to fulfill that role through my speech, our lives, and through the information on our websites and blogs. I have posted warnings on health, Pharmacia, organics, nutrition, finances, faith, worldliness, holidays, entertainment, scriptures, spiritual leadership, judicial order, and other spiritual matters. Now I am led to offer the most important warning of all concerning blasphemy of the Ruach ha Kodesh (holy spirit). What is blasphemy against the ruach ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit)? The Pharisees committed it when they doubted the works of the ruach ha Kodesh and accredited Yahshua’s miracles to the devil. (Matthew 12:28) According to Yahshua’s own words, that sin was without excuse and would not be forgiven in their age or in the coming one (Matthew 12:32).
Can people commit the unpardonable sin today? Since the forgiveness of
sin is the exclusive domain of YHWH, we do not make judgments as to
“forgive-ability” of a person’s actions, but unpardonable sin
does exist according to
scripture.
Scripture cautions us not to ridicule the manifest work of YHWH's ruach in men's lives nor to attribute work of the ruach ha Kodesh (YHWH's spirit) to the devil. The role of "accuser of the brethren" is one we should not take up. When we attribute an action, or even a person or group of persons, to satan…we must be 100% certain. Our declaration should be confirmed by word from YHWH, scripture, and witnesses. Additionally, when we convince others to regard an action or a group to be of satan, not only are we potentially guilty of blasphemy, but we also are putting a stumbling block in that brother’s path and encouraging him to commit blasphemy. Many times in scripture, we are told of the power of the tongue, the penalty for its misuse, and the accountability for our words. Scripture says we are defiled by things that come out of our mouths. Thus when discerning the motivating force of an action or situation, we are cautioned to absolute accuracy when assigning credit to satan. We are still called to judge fruit, and call sin, sin. However, giving satan credit for an action of YHWH is an extremely dangerous act. It is quite easy to assume an air of superiority because of our beliefs and actions, i.e., names, tassels, Sabbath, faith walk, meats, etc. and cast out many because of their ignorance of what we consider a “core truth”. But, none were born with full knowledge and perfect doctrine. While we quickly condemn others for their errors, and suggest their allegiance to another Elohim, we are loathe to admit that we once were in that very position, before we were “called”, “chosen”, “came to the truth”, or “matured in the faith”. In the event we are not 100% confident the action and impetus is of satan, with confirmation by word of YHWH, we should hold our peace lest we subject ourselves to judgment for blasphemy. The path condemning motives is a treacherous path to walk, with potentially eternal ramifications. May YHWH guide you as you tread softly!
Shalom,
Rusty Ames
11/28-2007 We continue to praise YHWH for HIS provision and we continue to wait on our miracle. We give thanks for the many who exhort us and pray for us. And we give thanks for our family.
11/23/2007 As the weather turns colder, we find that the zeal of the true believers stays HOT! We have been made aware of the fact that there are actually more believers in the miracle of Hannah Ruth than we have known. (Thanks to TB, JW, and TW) YHWH continues fighting for us to diffuse the naysayer's...thus we have no worries or ill effects of their weak faith. We have been led to pray for those who are living lives devoid of faith and to ask YHWH to heal them. YHWH sends the rain on the evil as well as the good, so we have been led to give updates and allow YHWH to deal with those who cannot receive HIS good news. All is very well at Turning Point Ranch. Praise YHWH. ________________ 11-16-2007 Praise YHWH for HIS mercy! At 9:25 PM CST, YHWH gave our brother Herman Bird, of the Congregation of YHWH, Milton, Florida richly deserved Sabbath rest. He was generous to the body of Yahshua and was an example of living what he believed...and choosing to serve YHWH and the Family of YHWH over earthly matters. All who knew Mr. Bird, loved him...and all who loved him, will miss him! We rejoice that he has no pain, no tears, no suffering and we will see him at the resurrection. We are blessed to have known him. 11/10/07 Sadly, it appears that most DO NOT believe the miracle of Hannah Ruth. Evidently, these updates have been used by scoffers hoping to find some tidbit to fuel their gossip and nay saying. Scripture warns against gossip. As watchmen, we remind our brothers of the seriousness of denying YHWH's work. Yahshua said attributing an act of YHWH's spirit to some other force is blasphemy. Psalm 64 indicates that YHWH has the last word toward those who profane HIS works and challenge those who walk according to HIS direction. We forgive those who doubt us. It is NOT about us. We have no interest in trying to convince unbelievers. That is the exclusive domain of YHWH's spirit. We hope and pray YHWH forgives those who doubt HIS work. We pity our so-called "friends and brethren" who declare their "love" yet ignore us and criticize HIS mighty work and thus lose first hand witness to a phenomenal miracle of YHWH. Perhaps these people would be too busy to run to the river to see a floating axe head? One's actions always follow one's beliefs, Those who contact us eagerly seeking amplification and new information are the true believers. We are blessed with a few of these precious brethren who regularly stand in the gap with us. They are rewarded with a personal, "front row seat" in witness to a wonderful miracle of YHWH. Testimony and updates will be given to those who believe, or at least are trying to believe, in this miracle when they directly solicit information from us and not from each other. We welcome such contacts.
