Word from Rev. Annie Arakelian
I continue to be amazed by how the Lord works through this ministry to fulfill His desires to see His children saved, healed, set free, and strengthened. I am in awe of how He fulfilled every promise over this year and empowered us by His spirit to help us carry out even greater works.
At the end of 2021, the Lord gave clear vision that 2022 would be for equipping His army (the body of Christ). We saw Him doing this with an accelerated pace through the ministry’s groups and schools. I am so proud of our steadfast students and attendees who have grown and transformed so much over these months.
It is also my joy to announce the launch of our new LLC “Wholeness Haven” , which will further bring equipping and restoration to the body of Christ (more info is in this newsletter). I was also honored to mentor an intern this year (who was doing her masters program in counseling), and hope to continue and grow these opportunities.
We had an amazingly fruitful year. I give big thanks for all the support and prayers we received from our followers and members. We are forever grateful to our Lord for this powerful team work.
2022 Accomplishments
Launch of “Wholeness Haven”
In addition to the non profit ministry, we have launched a new entity: Light of the Comforter Wholeness Haven LLC. This is the organization that will host our in-person retreats and boot camps.
The retreat center of Wholeness Haven is decorated in a unique way to spoil and remind each woman that they are special. This is in alignment with the mission to make each guest believe in their value as a daughter of the King.
Wholeness Haven Academy was also founded to facilitate and launch academies and e-courses. These virtual and in-person trainings equip students and leaders all around the world on topics related to wholeness in body, soul, and spirit.

Wholeness Haven “Refreshing and Empowering” Retreat

Light of the Comforter held its annual wellness retreat, hosted for the first time in sunny Florida. The retreat was the inaugural event for the ministry’s new brand “Wholeness Haven”, which was established to continue promoting health in the body, soul, and spirit. In alignment with Wholeness Haven’s mission to restore the daughters of The King, each room was decorated in a unique way to spoil and remind each woman that they are special.
Eleven guests from different states and countries traveled to participate in refreshing and empowering activities. The women enjoyed fellowship and fun while visiting SeaWorld, swimming, and receiving facials. Restoration and healing of hearts was experienced during the inner healing art workshop.
Incredible breakthroughs and healing were experienced during worship times because the tangible presence, glory, and love of God touched hearts and minds. There were many open heaven encounters where angels and Jesus Himself came to empower and fill all.
Deliverance was experienced by many, freeing them from bondages. Impartation and activation of spiritual gifts and callings was experienced as the anointing of God poured out.
The Lord led us to incorporate specific flags(designed by Monique Kendikian-Sarkessian) into our worship and impartation time. While each was waved as a banner (Exodus 15:17), the Lord released different things into the atmosphere and upon specific people. Some said “His banner over me is love”(Song of Solomon 2:4) and released His love, while other banners were red with the color of Jesus’ blood, and released His righteousness or His fire.
We give God all the glory for all He did during this retreat! He truly spoiled us with His love and showed His power and faithfulness in whole new levels.
Certificate Schools
One of our goals for 2022 was to grow and expand our online school offerings in order to reach more leaders around the world. Over the year, new course offerings were added, equipping over 29 prayer ministers and pastors located in 3 countries. Thanks to generous donations, several scholarships were able to be offered to students who showed great merit and dedication.
Completing one of these schools is a HUGE accomplishment that we don’t take lightly. In order to receive certificates of completion, these courses required commitment with attendance, homework, and practical application through exercises. We are so proud of each of our graduates, and admire them for their dedication to spreading the healing power of Jesus Christ around the world.
To see the fruit of your prayers and donations for this ministry, join us in listening to student testimonies at this link. Please join us in congratulating our graduates!

Entering Your Season of Abundance
End-of-Year Event
Light of the Comforter Ministries had a special service on December 21st, to begin the transition into the new year. There was worship and prayers for individuals, families, and nations to be anointed with the Holy Spirit’s fresh oil. Rev. Annie Arakelian gave a prophetic word from the Lord about His plans for 2023.
Testimonies:
As we received the Lord’s fresh fire and passion for 2023, we were positioned to walk in our new seasons of abundance. Throughout the service, the Lord was:
- releasing His glory upon us
- healing painful memories
- releasing the gift of tongues(+warfare tongues)
- impartation of interpretation of tongues
- releasing messages in tongues which were understood
The Lord led us to fill up jars of oil to symbolize being filled up with His wisdom, love, joy, peace, spiritual gifts, financial breakthrough, healing and more!
Visions were seen of:
- Jesus thanking us for our worship
- The angels manifested in the natural realm to pour blessings into our jars
- Jesus wearing an apron to serve us, saying “What do you want me to do for you? Ask and it shall be given to you.”
Pentecost Service
It was a powerful time gathering on Pentecost Sunday for worship and prayer. As we honored, praised, and invited the Holy Spirit, rings of His fire burned in the spirit, mixed with His tangible love.
Healing rivers were released, bringing restoration and strength to people’s bodies. Spiritual freedom was experienced after deliverance from fear, oppression, and discouragement. Empowering words of prophecy were given, activating people with new mantles, weapons, and gifts to walk in their calling for God’s glory.
We invite you to watch this recording here to pray along with the repentance, impartation, and activation prayers. May the gifts of the Holy Spirit be stirred up in you as you watch and receive His power by faith!
Twelve Support Groups
Our online support groups continued to be offered for women, men, and youth to grow spiritually and in community. Safe spaces were created for them to connect heart-to-heart, share, and be mentored by spiritual mothers and fathers. Discipleship and gentle coaching have been given to all who’ve sought personal breakthrough, deliverance, healing, and spiritual activation. Supernatural breakthroughs have been seen in physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual capacities by the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.

2023 Prophetic Word
Over the course of several powerful encounters, dreams, visions, and words from the Lord, Rev. Annie Arakelian received prophetic insight for what God has in store for 2023. He’s highlighted verses from His Word to confirm that next year will be a season of abundance and harvest.
The Lord shared with her that He plans to restore, empower, and equip churches, new leaders, and prophetic intercessors to get them positioned to win spiritual battles. He also spoke about the near future of Hollywood and the End-time strategy of the Satan.

New Book Publication: “Entering Heaven’s Gateways”
Responding to a burden and mandate from the Lord, Rev.Annie has recently published a new book called Entering Heaven’s Gateways. It is a documentation of her heavenly encounters, and teaching on how to use supernatural keys to enter the heavenly and demonic gates.
Below is a summary from the back cover. If you’d like to purchase this book so that you can receive the whole revelation, you can do so here:

In the middle of the night, she awoke suddenly to the Lord speaking to her. “I want you to write a book on My anointing and Glory.” She sensed urgency in His voice as He said, “Time is short, I am coming soon!” He then relayed her future work as an author for His glory. His instruction to write was repeated through prophecies, words of knowledge, night visions, dreams, and anointed leaders all telling her, “God is calling you to write and share His Glory and supernatural encounters with the world.”
In Entering Heaven’s Gateway, Reverend Dr. Annie Arakelian shares personal encounters, visions, and revelations about the heavenly realms. These are complemented by relatable and supportive teachings and scriptures, which guide readers on a learning journey to understand Heaven’s gateways and the keys to unlock them. The encounters shared in this book led to prophecies that the Lord revealed to Reverend Dr. Annie Arakelian for 2022 and beyond.
The Lord is equipping His army in battle preparations. He wants His Church to walk in the supernatural with signs and wonders, while empowering His body to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He is releasing new spiritual end-time weaponry and supernatural keys to unlock destinies and accelerate His work on earth through the Body of Christ. In order to complete this work, we must first break our destinies free from the gates of captivity, the gates of the enemy, and open people’s hearts to receiving Jesus Christ, the King of Glory.
2023 Goals
In 2023, the Lord has directed the ministry to continue to grow in 7 areas.
- Launching the new certification school “Mobilizing the Army of God”
- This school will go deeper into equipping warriors in the army of God with specific warfare strategies so they can possess their Promised Lands.
- Continuing in-person wellness retreats
- Running in-person boot camps to train soldiers in the army of God
- These intensive boot camps will equip and empower God’s soldiers so they can operate on the next level that He has for them.
- Mission trip
- Train missionaries through Wholeness Haven Academy
- Have internship programs for graduates and growing leaders.
- Teach the message of supernatural keys from “Entering Heaven’s Gateways”
- The Lord spoke to Rev.Annie that 2022 would be the year of using supernatural keys. He then gave her directions on writing her book “Entering Heaven’s Gateways”, which explained how to use God-given keys to go through spiritual gates.
- In 2023, free webinars will be hosted where she will teach about the principles shared in the book, and how the keys can be used practically and personally.
