Archived Testimonies
Below are a few testimonies of people whose lives have been changed by the positive power of holiness! Their reflections and letters to Ruth are inspirational, and we hope you enjoy their life-changing stories as much as we have.
I
want you to know your book titled Power Before the Throne,
was a blessing in my life. I have only been in the church for
about six years, and as long as I have been in church I have
not cut my hair because I wanted to please the Lord, not really
understanding why. However, I read your book because I wanted
to know the real reason. You answered ALL my questions, and
I thank you so much for obeying the Lord in writing that book.
It makes me feel so proud to be chosen by God to be apart of
His church, His bride. My family does not know what they are
going to do with me. They don't understand why I live this wonderful
way, but maybe someday they will see the light that shines.
May the Lord bless you, and your family...
Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much I enjoyed 'Power Before the Throne'. It made me laugh and it made me cry but opened so much to me. I had been studying on Holiness before you book came out in print because I just felt led of the Lord to do so. Oh, how great is our God. Thank you so much for all the inspiration that I get from your books. Thank you so much for following God's leading in your life. May God Bless you richly.
I
just wanted to thank you for your sensitivity to the Spirit
in the three books you have written for the ladies. I have been
blessed by the encouragement of others still holding fast to
the old landmarks. Thank you for giving of your time to give
us tools for dealing with ladies and helping them understand
the importance of righteous standards.
I
just wanted to drop you a line to let you know what a blessing
your books have been to the new ladies in our church. They are
calling us with exciting news---"I see it!" And are
witnessing to all their friends and relatives. We are thankful
for the work you are doing to preserve this precious truth.
May God continue to bless you.
I wanted to tell you that I shared this teaching with my then 8 year old daughter who responded so amazingly. When put on her level, it made her decide on her own that she would never cut her hair. She is also very careful about her clothing and inward holiness. How about a children's book based on Power before the Throne and Reflecting the Glory..........maybe that will be next??
[Harvey's Note: Children's books are now in print! Go to the Kid's Page to preview them and order online!]
You do not know me, but I wanted to share my testimony with you. I grew up in NJ where I lived for 32 years. I had been in the UPC all of my life. In early 1999, I was desperate for answers from the Lord and asked Him to speak to me and show me what it was that I needed. I attended a district Ladies Conference in 1999 where I purchased your book, "Power Before the Throne". The impact it left on my life was astounding to say the least. In fact, most of the people in my church thought I was a little "off the deep end" with this information. REVELATION changed my life and opened a dimension I never knew existed. God answered my prayer. At a ladies conference in 2000, God spoke to me so strongly, my life was about to change drastically. Within the next 2 months, God prepared my husband and I for major changes. All within a period of 3 months, God had us to close our business, sell our home and move to a place I would never have chosen on my own. I still don't know exactly what our purpose is here, but I know God will reveal it to us soon. I have a burden for the women of our new church and the entire state. They do not have the revelation of the Positive Power of Holiness. I would love to see you come to our district and share the life changing message with the ladies. In these perilous times, thismessage is, "for such a time as this."
I know you don't know me, but I wanted to thank you so much for teaching the truth. I was given a tape of you when you were in Indiana speaking . My husband, daughter and I just came into [this] Truth. We were at [another organization] where my Husband was the pastor. We started praying and asking If there was anything in our lives that was needing to be changed. My husband went on a fast and after six days our lives changed. Just before the fast we met a wonderful couple. Their children went to the same Christian school my daughter goes to. They started praying for us and got the church they are attending to start praying for us to come into the truth of One God. Praise God, He is faithful!!!! Here we are now resigned from the church and attending First United Pentecostal Church in Daingerfield, Texas. Bro. Watkins the pastor is the one who gave me the tape. We are still praying and seeking God on things in our lives. We have been baptized in Jesus Name and filled with The Holy Ghost all new PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!
I heard you speak at a district ladies meeting. You spoke on Holiness and Godliness, and I was so moved by God. I wished to talk with you afterward, but it was impossible; everyone was around you, and you looked so worn out. So now I just want to thank you for letting God use you. Keep up your calling no matter what. If I, a woman of God for almost 18 years, can still be taught, so can may other women of Pentecost. God bless you and your ministry.
