A Sad Epitaph For Ruth Heflin
by Sandy Simpson, 9/16/00

Today DITC received the announcement that "Prophetess" Ruth Heflin died.

Sister Ruth Ward Heflin went to be with the Lord from Richmond, Virginia at approximately 10:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time on Friday, September 15. We will announce the arrangements as soon as they are known. Ruth Heflin's Web Site is: www.revivalglory.org.

Blessings from Jerusalem!

Not long before she died, Ruth Heflin made a false prophesy in the extreme with regard to Jesus Christ.  She said she heard an audible voice from the Lord saying He would make many physical appearances in Benny Hinn crusades.  For that story, click on the following link:

You can see how many times this false prophesy was cited by Benny Hinn, adding that he had also heard the same thing from the Lord here:

It is a very sad thing for a person to meet the Lord with a false prophesy fresh on their lips.  This false prophesy did not and will not come true because Jesus Christ said Himself, referencing His coming:

Matt. 24:23-27   At that time if anyone says to you, `Look, here is the Christ!' or, `There he is!' do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect--if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time. "So if anyone tells you, `There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, `Here he is, in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.  For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
The Lord is clear about those who make false prophesies and do other signs and wonders in the name of the Lord that are clearly not of the Lord:
Matt. 7:21-23   "Not everyone who says to me, `Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, `Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, `I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
For a false prophet it truly is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of an angry God!  I would not want to be in her shoes.

Let this be a lesson to all true believers.  When you say "Thus saith the Lord" remember that someday you will meet Jesus Christ face to face and have to answer to Him directly.  You might want to keep this in mind the next time you decide to prophesy!

Not only is Ruth Heflin's passing a thing beyond sorrow due to her false prophesies, but her passing itself has spawned more false prophesies.  Lies beget lies, falsehood begets falsehood.  Here is the text of a "prophesy" following her death that has been widely circulated. WARNING: Please bear in mind that you are reading a prophesy by another false prophet.  Don't allow yourself to be sucked into the deception!  Some of the many false prophetic parts have been highlighted in bold by DITC.

PROPHETIC RESPONSE TO THE PASSING OF SISTER RUTH HEFLIN --"PRECIOUS IN THE EYES OF THE LORD IS THE DEATH OF HIS SAINTS!" (Psalms 116: 15)

PRECIOUS IN THE EYES OF THE LORD

"Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints."  Psalm 116:15
"Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings..."  Psalm 17:8

UPON HEARING OF RUTH WARD HEFLIN'S PASSING, A PROPHETIC WORD CAME

Upon being informed of Ruth Ward Heflin's (Servant, Evangelist and Author of "Golden Glory" and other publications) passing, earlier today, the Presence of the Lord richly enveloped me with not only comfort, but a special prophetic word from the Throne Room, for the Body of Christ.

NEW BATTALION RELEASED

It is so imperative to seek Him, when being impacted by the enemy.  As stated previously, Satan often is permitted that first move on the proverbial chessboard.  Then the Lord, Himself, comes in and cleans that boy's clock.  The last shall be first, you know.  Such will be the case with the Church.  You have been on the back burner long enough.  A new Battalion has been released to do heavy damage in the kingdom of darkness.

WE ARE POISED TO WITNESS . . .

We are poised to witness the greatest, unimaginable outpouring of the Holy Spirit this world has ever seen.!   In December of 1999, He granted this writer a vision of an Open Heaven showering down the
unpredictable, unimaginable and unprecedented, those good and perfect gifts.  And, let's note here, they will be in abundance, granting the Believer all sufficiency in everything pertaining to life and godliness.  Nothing can be withheld.  As sin and its byproducts abound, Grace will much more abound!  The reaper can look forward to surpassing the sower.

A TRIGGER

Ruth's promotion to Glory was a trigger for more revelation of what's to come.  Fasten that seatbelt, as He takes us into the realm of Papa's miraculous!

"DON'T THINK THAT I AM STANDING IDLY BY"

"Dear Child, please don't think that I am standing idly by, while the evil one performs his ministry on this planet.  Just the opposite is true.  The Almighty's hand is poised to further rent Heaven's fabric!  (Open Heaven) and pour out blessings that will literally be uncontrollable and uncontainable.

When the Father becomes angry, count on His hand to move!  From this  point forward, I shall release a force of angels from the Throne Room that further plunder hell through each yielded Vessel.

The Glory to Glory process has been accelerated to turn this planet upside down with an unveiling of My Love and Life. Look for a renewed effectiveness.

WEIGHTS ARE ABOUT TO DROP!

Weights are about to drop from individual lives and calls. Today, God's heart has been pricked!  How often have I boldly declared that we are not operating under a double-standard?  Christ's command to preach the Gospel, heal the sick, cast out devils and raise the dead has not changed. Neither will it!  Sin is abounding on this planet.  However, don't set your eyes on the stealing, killing and destroying.

Instead, focus on the ever-increasing Grace in the form of Unction and manifestation.  This is that!

Did I not promise to first arrive in Presence, then in Person?  The Burner has been turned up.  Hell's army is convulsing in utter confusion.

The Bread-baking (revealed Word) Kitchen is way too hot for any contrary spirit.  Hell's minions are in the process of fleeing...the Church first,  then those to whom you've been sent.

Former enemies will be seen no more, from migraines to strongholds that have held back Father's Kid, yes...WHOLE NATIONS, preventing the glorious Gospel of Salvation to be presented and experienced.  Feel the Fire in that belly, and prepare to move into that realm of destiny, unveiled during those special times with me.  This day, I have released an Unction that will increase and perpetuate the calls and giftings that have been resisted for far too long! Weep not! This is your season of celebration. New weapons have been released from the Creator's arsenal!"

Dr. Paul N. Gervais

I could have highlighted practically the whole thing, but all you need to do is look at all the things God is purported to have said to see that this is clearly a false prophesy, and an incredibly dangerous one at that.

May God have mercy on the souls of these new self-proclaimed "prophets"!
