Finland Glory Ring Testimonial 2006 Ruth Mays, Ashland City, TN © 2006

Hello Jennifer!!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank
you for the incredible Glory Ring. I'm sorry I have not written before now,
but aside from being busy, I just did not want to just send you a mere
thanks. I wanted to pray more about the Glory Ring and see what else God
might be saying prior to writing to you. Sorry, it has taken this long.
I want you to know that the day that I received the
Glory Ring in the mail, I was sitting at my dining room table praying and
having one of those.... 'what's next Lord', and 'Lord do you hear me?'
days. I was in deep prayer and worship when the mailman came driving up the
driveway blowing his horn. The timing of it's arrival was incredible! I
was so in awe as I unwrapped it and saw all the details that were included
on it. The colors are so defining to Finland, and the jewelry looks just
like the pieces that my Grandmother had, and each hidden item within it
seems to have meaning. The fullness of it is yet to be revealed. I do need
to ask, and I hope you remember, there was a large silver broach that was
approx. 2 1/2" round that also resembled a belt buckle, that the clasp on
the pin was broken (the box had a corner damaged in the shipping). My first
round of going into worship with it (with Terry MacAlmon in the background)
this piece came flying off. At this point I have not yet re-attached it, as
I wanted to know if you had felt anything in particular to its
significance. I think I see where it was attached before, but I really want
to be in prayer prior to reapplying it. I know working with banners, etc.
each piece is very specific and takes different prayer. If you remember it
and sense anything, please let me know.
Also, I wanted to express to you that that
afternoon after receiving it, I had to run into town and pick up my son from
school, and I had the opportunity to listen to the tape you sent with it and
I was able to have it sink in. How incredibly humbling it was to hear the
testimony of how this was made and how long you have waited for someone to
come forth to pick up this intercession. The ways of the Lord are truly
incredible.
Through your gift of giving me this Glory Ring, I
in turn cleaned out my closet of the simplified flags, hoops and one
particular wall banner, and brought them to the final GCST Conference
meeting and gave them away as gifts. I do not know if God will have me take
the material from your books and to begin to make more intricate worship
instruments or if my calling on that is finished, but I know that a new day
in this part of my life has begun. Thank you so much for your part in
bringing forth this part of my destiny. For truly I do not take this task
lightly. Saturday, I took the Glory Ring to the GCST meeting and although I
used it some in the worship, the main song God had me use it in was one that
Mary Ellen McFadden sings about the whole earth. I felt very much so that
in the marching around the room in the processional with the Glory Flags
going first, then a sword and then the Glory Ring for Finland was very
strategic. God truly is wanting to move around the world and in Finland in
a greater way. I believe it was Mary Ellen who later mentioned that with
the way that Jesus was written that it also could be read as Jews. I also
have sensed this, and as the Jewish flag is the same colors as the Finnish
flag, I believe the intercession for the two will be intertwined.
I would love to write more, but once again time
constraints have arose. Please know I thank you from the bottom of my heart
for allowing me this honor. May the Lord Bless your ministry and may all
those things which you have been praying to see the fruit of come forth.

Thank You Joy for sharing your
testimony of the Aglow conference and putting the pictures on
your web-site. How excited I was to see it all!!
My name is Ruth Mays, and I was
Secretary for the Committees working the conference (perhaps we
met during the week, but there were so many new faces, I don't
remember everyone). Anyway, since I was busy holding down the
fort for the GCST Workroom, I did not get to see much of the
conference and was not able to take any pictures. So to have
these (especially the Nativity Garden!!) is a wonderful gift. I
feel like I'm God's spoiled child this morning, now that He
through you and Mary Ellen and Joyce have provided me with
pictures I had so wanted to get. THANK YOU!!
I also want to say that through looking
at your web site of the Glory Rings, has been an awesome
confirmation. Number one confirmation, although I have made
simplified Glory Rings in the past, I do not have the anointing
to go forth and make ones such as yours and I am not to try do
so (confirmation!!). I do have the anointing to do smaller
purse size ones that are on small metal rings and I will
continue to do them as the Lord leads. They usually are for
fruits of the spirit, to bring down God's Glory, to exclaim His
Royalty, and one I do make for praying for the USA and one for
praying for Israel. May the Glory of God sweep over these two
nations!!
Another confirmation was on a study I
was doing on seeking wisdom. And of course the scriptures were
from Proverbs 1,2,3. This study also stated to study your
roots. I was thrilled to look at the Glory Ring that you created
for Finland (my roots)--it is on Wisdom and with the same
scriptures!! Thank you for your faithfulness to the call of God
on your life. Thank you for the beautiful web site you have and
the ministry you do to release the anointing of God over the
earth.
May the Lord bless you in the beautiful
land of Oregon. I always thought God would let me move there,
but he chose TN.
Bless you my sister in the Lord!! May
your year be one that you see much more fruit of your labors.
In Jesus,
Ruth Mays

Ruth,
I have a Glory Ring for the nation of
Finland...have been waiting 3 years for the divine appointment.
I would say you are about as divine as it
gets.
If you want to send your mailing address, I
will send it out to you with a copy of the books and other
information.
Wahoooo! Jesus is LORD!
Love and Prayers, jj

Wow, Jennifer - I sure did not expect a
blessing like this!! I will receive it with honor and pray
as the Lord leads me for my ancestral homeland!!
Just for your information. I'm
originally from northern Minnesota, and my
grandparents-parents, etc. were all 100% Finn and so I am,
too. I am number seven in my family. On the lighter side,
I joke with people that pure breds are often high strung
and that is not just my blonde hair that makes me
different.
Thank you again for this gift-- I
has been a desire of mine for years to own a beautiful Glory
Ring--and I could never understand why if I have the
anointing to do small ones and to do banners, why am I
was not to go forward with Glory Rings. This truly is a
gift from God!! Thank You!!
In Jesus,
Ruth Mays
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ January 7, 2006 Isn't this just so much fun! Hope to have it in the mail to you next week.
Blessings, Jennifer
