Students Testimonies

It was a true honor and privilege to study healing and deliverance under Reverend Annie Arakelian. The depth and breadth of her understanding was priceless because her text book knowledge was supported by countless examples of actual experience. Her testimonies not only helped to solidify a lesson, but they were a constant witness to these two realities:
Her reliance on the Holy Spirit for direction AND Her dependence on God’s love for herself and others. This love was apparent each week through the patience and kindness she demonstrated while teaching, answering questions and issuing warnings. Throughout the six month period, her heart felt delight in and concern for each of her students was palpable as was her desire for us to grow in our personal experience of healing and deliverance. These opportunities came as we yielded to her continual encouragement to involve the Holy Spirit while doing our homework and when breaking down each week into groups to practice what we were learning. A third way in which we acquired healing and deliverance was when she sensed the Holy Spirit’s leading to guide the class in prayer. These occasions were particularly powerful because we experienced HER intimacy with the Holy Spirit on our behalf. Her subsequent prayers were bold, thorough and life giving because they included words of knowledge, wisdom, healing, prophesy and protection. Consequently, they enabled us to realize, acknowledge, and repent of whatever darkness was blocking God’s light.
To conclude, my testimony of this course wouldn’t do it justice without mentioning Reverend Annie’s joy of the Lord. It is clear that this joy is the fuel that motivates and invigorates her life. It is eye opening to interact with someone so thoroughly immersed in joy for God’s love, his Son and his Spirit. And, what a gift it is to partake of this joy week after week and month after month for a six month period.
Thank-you Reverend Annie for all that you do!

I highly recommend this school to everyone who wants to grow and receive breakthroughs in his/her spiritual life. If they want to see the fruit of the spirit functioning in their life, to receive freedom and be set free from bondages and Satan’s false and deceitful lies over their life, to receive healing from their wounds and hurts, they must attend this course and get rid of the old man nature and be a new creation in Jesus. So many things were hidden in my soul, in my mind and in my heart. Through six months of the inner healing and deliverance courses, the Holy Spirit worked on me, operated in me, and transformed me and I have received healing and freedom. I cannot have imagined how much I’d feel blessed, changed, and happy even though the recovery process takes a long time.
One of the helpful parts for my healing was that all the students were open and honest with each other during small group sessions. From there I knew that I wasn’t alone struggling, and was having difficulties and weaknesses which are common to everyone. I learned a lot and enjoyed Reverend Annie Arakelian’s teaching, approach, love, respect, hard work and confidentiality. She is a dedicated counselor who loves God and wants to give back whatever she receives and learns and to set free God’s children from captivity.

I entered the Inner Healing & Deliverance School with almost no prior knowledge or understanding of the specific ways God brings inner healing and deliverance. I also never considered that God would want to equip me to help lead other brothers in Christ to find his inner healing and deliverance beyond what traditionally happens in men’s Bible studies or small groups – encouraging others in the Word and seeking to grow in our likeness of Christ. Recurring sin meant, I thought, that we simply need to continue to follow God and trust in his continual sanctification. Although that is true, it is incomplete.
God used this school to teach me that there are often underlying roots causing the recurring sin, and lasting victory over the latter can only come after uprooting the roots that are the source. God has given us tools to bring his healing to ourselves and the Church. This school has given me a better understanding of what to ask the Spirit to reveal to me and what to look for as I approach inner healing and deliverance. Through this school, God revealed to me bad fruits in my life that I was not even aware of and what the underlying roots are. And I have been encouraged to see how God continues to reveal to members of this class through his Spirit knowledge and understanding that only he can provide, confirming his desire not only to heal us, but to use us in his grace to bring healing to others around us. I am excited to see what He has in store for us.

I am so thankful that Rev. Annie offered this class. It has been a wonderful journey. I have been working on inner healing for a while ( more than 5 years) and have had ministry prayer which bit by bit has freed me from many of the lies of the enemy. Yet, I had reached a very desperate place. My husband and I had come to a point where everything would trigger us very very quickly! This class was God’s perfect timing. He made a way for me to make the commitment and perseverance to attend the class and do the hard work including homework, emotional and spiritual work. God has transformed me in big steps through this. I especially have received healing in the area of family bondage and soul ties. Some major lies that I believed from childhood had me in bondage. “You are stupid and worthless” were the words that the little girl in me believed. I am thankful for Rev. Annie’s teaching and prayer training. I am thankful to the Lord for His timing in enabling me to persevere in this class. There were many times in the class that the Lord revealed to me a path to be free. It was very special to meet the ladies in my group, listen to their stories and appreciate their vulnerability. I love each one of them and feel a special attachment! Here are some of the truths I have learned: I have looked at my husband as the enemy. I have harbored un-forgiveness, resentment, bitterness. I was rebellious against him. I was so wounded I couldn’t even see him and his struggles. God is showing me I need to step down in the relationship. Allow my husband to step into his role. In some ways I was exhibiting a spirit of Jezebelle. I renounced this and did not want to walk in this way anymore. My husband does not define who I am. What he says about me does not define who I am. Annie prayed that I would be able to receive my husband’s love in the way he wants to love me. God helped me to see my husband as a person to honor and enjoy and discover (not fix or change). In a more recent discussion with my husband he said he had never heard me talk this way. He was referring to me having a David like repentance and acknowledging my husband’s pain. This had been 36 years of him hoping I would change! I am beginning to see situations differently and respond differently. I am amazed at how the Lord has given me special ways to interact with my husband. Something as simple as the Holy Spirit giving me the idea of putting the Tavloo board on the kitchen table, which I thought was for the purpose of teaching my grandchildren to play. God’s purpose was far bigger! My husband and I play every day. He LOVES to play! It has been relaxing for him, fun and bonding. I never would have imagined this! God gets the glory for this idea! There have been more creative ways in which God has used me to heal my husband’s hurts, from something as basic as he seeing in my eyes new appreciation for him, to God giving me the idea and execution to surprise my husband for his birthday by being on his favorite news broadcast (this was God’s doing too) My husband LOVES surprises! He had a wonderful birthday. My prayer life has changed in good ways. I appreciate the teaching on authority in Christ. I have learned I have authority to pray for those under my jurisdiction and bind the work of the enemy and loose God’s kingdom. It has also been healing to receive the affirmation of who God made me to be. I found the temperament test helpful and the one on one time with Rev. Annie. I have a strong attachment to the physical. I can easily get distracted or unsettled or caught up in what is before me… with physical stuff. Even how I interact with people as commodities this showed up in my temperament profile. Rev. Annie helped me sort out what is the unsanctified part of my temperament and walk confidently in how God made me. Getting a clearer picture of me keeps me anchored in Christ more. From the beginning of the classes Rev. Annie emphasized for us to look for the root as you see the fruit. This has changed dramatically the way I see problems and difficulties with relationships. I also have taken Rev. Annie’s recommendation to ask yourself “why, what is my motivation? “ This has been transformational. I like to go back over the notes to be able to answer with revelation and truth. I even have opportunities to share these teachings with others especially family members and close friends. I have learned though to be led by the Holy Spirit in when to share. Especially share with no agenda. I understand better how we need a clean heart before God in order to be of use in our gifts. Each person is an individual who is loved by God. Go before God and make sure you have a clean heart. There is no formula we need to rely on what we have learned and the guidance of the Holy Spirit and be motivated my love. I eagerly look forward to opportunities to minister in more ways the Spirit leads. One of the struggles I still have is to sit before the Lord and soak in His presence. I was so blessed to experience this with Rev. Annie. I hope to breakthrough this area. I am giving it time and practice. I am thankful for the ways the Lord has transformed me, healed me and given me a new way to Be. (not do!) All praise goes to my Lord and savior! Amen!

From the day I read through the school’s curriculum, I knew and felt in my heart that I had to do it. It was something I was eager to do and knew I had to do in order to “grow”. The last 6 months we’re challenging to say the least but definitely refining and helped me address many spiritual and physical battles that had been heavily just “being” in my life. These last months helped me have a clear understanding of where everything stemmed from and why certain topics haven’t moved on. The reading material is heavy but so vital and life changing. Without the step forward we will always be held backwards. I am not Paul from Saul YET, but I know how and am able to walk away from who I thought I was towards who God has created me to become. It is a very difficult path but not impossible. Knowledge has been gold to me and I believe that every single person should go through this journey because it releases us from so many bondages, again, only if we are willing. Thank you Annie and your team for such great ministry, studies, prayers and counselling and most importantly the LOVE you poured into us every week. God bless you all.

I am so grateful every day that I took this class with you. It was made for me. It is as though I had to be in this class and hear everything you had to teach. You cannot imagine how much healing I have experienced in many ways. And deliverance from anger. I am in the eye of the storm and for once I am not scared anymore. Even in my tears I am calm. I do not feel anxiety and panic like I always did. I do not feel angry anymore even when disgusting things are being done to me. I am just so amazed. Truly grateful to God for working in me, for the Holy Spirit burning the bad roots in me. So grateful for the 6 month journey.
God is amazing. God is So good.

If you really want to know who you are inside. This course gives you keys for opening petal after petal to the deep wells of your heart. It is loaded with information, and needs to be digested slowly, thoughtfully, prayerfully. The materials need to be read always in the light of the lords presence. there is a lot of self examination, evaluation, and reflexion of the past. I had profound transformational experiences in the small groups, by identifying my wounds and shortcomings, by bringing them to the light, repenting and making commitment to walk in the newness of life. I thank rev. Annie and the team for taking each person seriously, praying and inspiring each one of us to the fullness of life God has called us.

The Light of the Comforter’s School for Prophetic Inner Healing and Deliverance was an answered prayer for me. It was the desire of my heart to go through this type of schooling while seeking God for deeper intimacy with Him. Each lesson was prepared with careful consideration by Reverend Annie Arakelian who always yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Her visually appealing PowerPoint slides for each lesson, detailed description, and countless relevant experiences made it memorable, engaging, and wholesome. During the small group ministering sessions, I was able to apply what I had learned and grow closer to the Body of Christ. It was a such a safe place to share my heart, to listen to my sisters in Christ, and to pray for one another. The work God started during these classes, He also continued afterward on a daily basis. The assignments that I completed after each lesson provided an opportunity to seek the Holy Spirit for self-reflection, correction, repentance and inner healing. As I prayerfully completed the well-thought out questions, I discovered many areas of my life that needed healing, of which I was unaware of. The Bible verse from Hosea 4:6 comes to my mind: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” – Hosea 4:6 I’m very grateful for this school because it brings the knowledge and wisdom of God to light in order to expose and restore the dark and hidden areas of the believer’s heart.

Initially, I struggled with the decision whether to take this course or not. I knew there were some things I struggled with, but I was almost comfortable with them, considered them normal and did not feel the need to dig deeper. As I prayed and waited for confirmation from God, I felt very strongly that he was pushing me to do it. Naturally I love to learn and knew that even if it wasn’t for me, I would be learning to help my children. Little did I know what I got myself into. I am left with an overwhelming amount of knowledge and information, but here are a few of the things that really left a mark on me. I am beyond loved by my Heavenly Father. It is a piece of information that I grew up knowing in my mind, but to know it in your heart is so special. He created me uniquely with certain needs, certain giftings, certain talents, a special way of understanding, a special way of communicating, a special way of learning and a special way of being. You may look at yourself and see them as flaws, as I did, but He took the time to craft me exactly that way. There is something that He wants me to accomplish that only I can do by being the way He created me. And when you start to understand that, then that’s when you start to truly love yourself the way you are. And that’s when you start to truly live for Christ. The reality is that life gets in the way and the enemy uses anything and everything to blind you from your identity and derail you from your purpose. Yes, parents might have made mistakes that left you with wounds. Yes, friends may have left you and caused rejection in you. You may have lost a loved one, you may have had to take on roles in the family that were not meant for you. All these things slowly chip away and change pieces of the God-crafted you. How can I accomplish what He meant for me to do if I have fear, rejection, pride or unforgiveness living inside me? I have come to understand how important it is to spiritually heal. It is no longer an option, but a must if I want to serve Him here on earth. I have learned to let go of hurts, to understand people more, to have more grace for others and their mistakes, their words and their actions (because they are also hurting or in the process of healing) and also to have grace for myself and my mistakes (because I am in the process of healing and growing). I am learning that the only person I need to please is God, otherwise I am idolizing those that I am trying to please. I am learning that it is okay to set healthy boundaries with those around me. I am learning how important it is for individuals to heal in order to have healthy relationships with each other. How important it is for parents to heal in order to raise healthy children. How important it is for teachers to heal so they can educate our children in healthy environments. How important it is for business owners to heal, for leaders to heal, for children to heal, for everyone to heal. What God would love to see more than anything is His children living their purpose here on earth healthy and healed. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to take part in this experience. I am beyond happy that God opened these doors, opened my eyes and my heart to the things I did not know. You would think that six months is enough to learn, grow and change, but I feel like it is just the beginning. I only began to understand myself; my eyes and heart have probably only opened a little crack. There is so much more. There is so much more to learn, so much deeper to go, so much more to discover about how the Lord made me and I can’t wait to discover it all. I am excited to see what God has in store for me. I am excited to see what He wants me to do with the knowledge He downloaded in me during these six months. I am forever grateful to Rev. Annie Arakelian for her heart, her time, her prayers, her insight, her dedication, her gentleness, her understanding, her patience and her love. This is just the beginning.

I was introduced to Rev. Annie Arakelian by one of her interviews on social media. During the interview I was touched when she was mentioning about spiritual healing. I was struggling with wounds, hurts… as I learned about the school of Inner Healing and Deliverance I immediately signed up and attended the 6 months course where besides the teachings and healings and prayers I got introduced to wonderful women of God… It was a true blessing to be educated about the enemy and his tricks being exposed. I learned how to listen and pray for the Holy spirit to take charge on revealing the hidden things. Hallelujah!!! I strongly believe that during one of the school sessions I was healed of my knee injury which I got it during an accident and I have been suffering from it for several years now. It had come to a point that I wasn’t able to go on my knees, and wasn’t able to stretch. When the pain hit it was very uncomfortable and it became tight and stiff… Praise God for this ministry and Rev Annie, and I ask the Lord to pour out His abundant blessings over each one of us!!!

It is with much joy that I testify of the goodness of God through Light of the Comforter’s Inner Healing and Deliverance Training school. I had the benefit of going through it twice and it made such a difference. There’s so many layers of healing so many layers of deliverance that happens it’s so powerful. So many things get broken off. So many lies that we believe get unearthed and then the Lord can come in and heal our hearts once we recognize and repent. Huge changes happened in me, the people around me, and my family. I also had the benefit of leading a small group per week and that training was invaluable. So much happened over the course of the months and I saw so much growth in me and the other group members and other school students. There is such a change throughout the months of the training. We all were transformed over the process of the class and grew in our spiritual gifts and had bondages broken off of us that we weren’t even aware of at the beginning. Because that is who our God is -God is just so good! It is such a joy and a privilege to partner with Him and to be loved by Him so much and to see His love for other people. When you see His heart to set His children free you just become so overwhelmed by His love for you and other people. We rejoiced with Heaven when they become able to walk in the freedom that He intended. We weren’t even completely aware of all that he was doing in us but as the months went on the changes were so apparent. All glory to Him! We thank God for His goodness and mercy and this ministry that He uses in such a mighty way! Praise You Lord Jesus for Your way that You made on the cross.

This school has left me in complete awe, it is incredible how much God has taught me. I truly feel like a new person in Christ more than I was before I found Christ. I feel honored that He has entrusted me with this information. I never knew how much more our Father wanted to show us before being involved with this school. I also never knew how damaging traumatic childhood events could be and how those events reprogram our brain and personality to be a certain way that can be harmful to a fully intimate relationship with Christ. During this school I have been able to step out of my comfort zone and pray boldly over others. I have been able to co-work with God in digging through deep childhood wounds and being delivered of them in Jesus’ name. I have learned how much more powerful the blood of Jesus is, that is not talked about in Western churches. I am slower to anger and being offended by others and the hurtful and harmful things they say and do. Because they do not know the freedom in Christ and it is their wounds that cause them to be who they are. Knowing this has made me more sensitive to those who are against me. Bless and love those who persecute me. What an honor this has been and I wish I could do this multiple times over.

I am so grateful to God for allowing me to attend this amazing Prophetic School of Inner Healing & Deliverance taught by our amazing teacher, Rev. Annie Arakelian. This school will take you deeper and equip you to engage in spiritual warfare in the most powerful and effective way and teach you the most powerful tool in ministering to others is LOVE! While attending this school, my relationship and walk in the Lord was being restored. I received insight and experienced breakthrough many times during our classes. I was so touched by Rev. Annie’s gentle and genuine spirit towards me and I would say that in and of itself was powerful enough to bring healing. The lessons and content we learned regarding inner healing and deliverance will remain with me for the rest of my life. I looked forward to our class meetings each week as not only were we gaining insight but we were experiencing fellowship, support from others, receiving prayer and growing together in the things of God. I would recommend this school to anyone interested in growing deeper in the things of God, understanding spiritual warfare, seeking inner healing and deliverance for themselves and those around them. I have been tremendously blessed by this school!

When I signed up for Inner Healing and Deliverance classes, I had no idea what I was getting into. I was very happy though, to learn and to be nourished in the things of God. On Wednesday March 3, 2021, I experienced the Power of God so strongly in one of the small group sessions. Words cannot express that tangible moment of God’s Holy Presence. The Lord is Awesome, Mighty, great Deliverer, Healer, Sovereign, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Righteous and He is Merciful. I have been suffering with my neck and back for a while now. On Monday March 1, 2021, I missed my step while walking down a flight of stairs and I fell flat on my face. (Don’t laugh). I had bruises on both of my legs, the left leg, the skin came off. I hurt my right arm, injured my neck and my forehead had a bruise as well. I wasn’t able to get up. The 12 year old I had with me and his 8 year old brother helped me get off the ground. I was in excruciating pain, but nevertheless I pushed through the pain and attended the prayer session. When Rev. Annie was praying and calling out Back Pain, Neck Pain, I felt the Healing Power of God on my neck. I did what she said to do. “Anyone suffering with Back Pain, Neck Pain stand up and stretch your arms and touched your toes. At first I was doubting that I would be healed instantly, because I have had that problem for a very long time. Immediately Rev. Annie called out and demand the spirit of doubt and unbelieve to leave in the Name of Jesus. I had no choice but to repent and ask God for forgiveness for not believing He could heal me this instance. I said:- “Lord I believe that You can heal me.” I went to bed that night, fell asleep, My body was resting, but hadn’t fallen into a deep sleep yet. At that moment I felt a warmth all over my entire body, from my neck, flowing through my spine and back area. This wasn’t a natural body heat. It felt like someone was gently caressing, and massaging my neck area, with heat transcending through my back area. Since then I haven’t felt any pain in my neck, back and the right arm pain was gone. The swollenness in my legs and my forehead from the fall went down. I give God all the Thanks and Praise and all the Honor for healing me instantly and continue to have His hands upon my life. I also received instructions about my child:- “DO NOT WORRY ABOUT MY CHILD, GOD GOT HER”. I felt the Peace of God that surpasses all of my understanding rest upon my heart. Thank you Rev. Annie so much for your obedience and calling out those areas in our lives that has had us bond for so long. May the Lord continue to Bless you Rev. Annie and your family. May the Lord continue to Bless Your Ministry He has entrusted you with. May God continue to increase your capacity in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen. Love you Rev. Annie

I’m so thankful to the LORD for divinely connecting me with Rev. Annie Arakelian years ago. She is an answer to my detailed prayers. Her presence and the anointing upon her life brings His sweet aromatic healing presence in the atmosphere. Without her even praying, healing took place as I have experienced it many times in a powerful way. I honor the Fathers heart through her and what I like is that she always relies on the Holy Spirit’s leading. I am honored to serve in The Light of the Comforter Ministries leadership team. The 6-month Prophetic Inner Healing and Deliverance school was packed with so much deep knowledge and insightful information. I could not get enough. The Spirit of the LORD was working so powerfully in my heart by bringing healing to emotional wounds and removing layers or things that were hidden in my soul that I had no awareness of. At the same time, I had the privilege of leading a small group of beautiful and anointed ladies that were filled with God’s love, honesty, transparency, humility, and unity. I felt like I had known them for years. It brought joy and tears to my heart seeing how the LORD powerfully ministered to them as we prayed, blessed, and encouraged one another through His Spirit. It is a must for everyone especially those in leadership to attend inner healing and deliverance classes.

I am a pastor from India and it was a great opportunity to study in the prophetic school of inner healing & deliverance for their six month’s course. With the help of Light of the Comforter Ministries, I experienced the Holy Spirit each class. I also enjoyed spending time with all the team members who attended the classes every week and looked forward to the sessions each week. I learned new things which have been helpful to me in my ministry to help the 52 churches and pastors I oversee with all the training from the school.
