Healing Winds Conference

September 27 - 30, 2012

Where:

Lake Junaluska Retreat Center
Junaluska, NC (just west of Asheville, NC)

Thank you for speaking at the Aptos Healing Mission and thank you for your prayer assistance afterward. I provide healing prayer for MANY but we can't always manage everything for ourselves.

For a while I have experienced symptoms in my shoulder blade and arm muscles. The discomfort was strong enough that I couldn't sleep on my left side. At the end of the mission three of you prayed for my health and well being and for my ministry. Since then, I have felt only experience an impression of pain, not pain itself. What it tells me is that the Lord is definitely using me to assist someone.

I have thanked God, but I owe you many thanks. It is wonderful not to experience those symptoms!

Godspeed in your work.

I recently attended Desert Call's "Walking in the Kingdom" conference. I am so thankful and blessed that I attended. I learned many significant tools for my walk with Christ; most importantly that Christian life is about RECEIVING (from the Lord). I realized I have been focusing on giving and service to the Lord, but neglected the most important one - RECEIVING.

On the Friday night of the conference, after Fr. Josh's teaching, we were invited to join a prayer team to RECEIVE. It was quite powerful and, along with my RECEIVING, I experienced a healing. I had made a doctor appointment that morning because I had a blockage in my chest. It felt as if I had food stuck (size of a fist) in the middle of my chest. It was at its worse on Friday night. After I left the prayer warriors, I sat down and started to weep. While I was soaking in the Lord, I noticed the lump was practically all gone.

I drove home that night wondering what I was going to tell my doctor at my Monday appointment. The lump has not returned, only a little feeling of fullness, but nothing like I had on Friday night. Praise the Lord!

I went to the doctor and explained what had happened at the conference. She put me on a medication for two weeks and told me to continue with the prayers! I was also able to share this story with a student intern in the doctor’s office. God is amazing how he heals and uses us. Praise Him!

I am so grateful to Desert Call and Fr. Josh for this invaluable teaching and that God uses them so powerfully.

God is good!

There were more people today than yesterday and Josh was truly anointed by the Holy Spirit. About fifteen people were received as new members to the Order Of St. Luke the Physician (OSL) and close to ten more started their training.

Josh concluded.the conference with a prayer tunnel. This consisted of OSL members lining up on both sides of the center aisle and Josh, Rusti and I were at the front of the church. As the musicians played softly in the back ground, the people who wanted prayer would walk slowly down the aisle. Each OSL member would pray for them as they passed. When they reached the end of the tunnel, Josh, Rusti and I would pray for them.

As you can imagine, there was a lot of emotion in that line. They cried, I cried. They laughed, I cried. They hugged, I cried. And no one wanted to go home when it was over, they just lingered in the Spirit. We prayed for hours. Everyone was totally exhausted, yet determined to stay way past the end of the conference praying for anyone that was in need of prayer.

Tomorrow we start our day early, as Josh will be preaching at the 8:00 am service and the 10:00 am service. The church men’s group will be making us breakfast between services. We have been truly blessed. We will be leaving here with mixed emotions, sad to leave our brothers and sister who have welcomed us with open arms, who we have become very fond of. And happy to be on our way back home to our family, all of you who we miss very much.

See you soon.

We love you all

Rusti, Josh, Wayne

It was such a huge spiritual blessing to see you guys last weekend at the Healing Conference and to be under your ministry. The teaching and prayer times were so rich with God's presence and the activity of the Holy Spirit. Thank you so much that you have responded in obedience to the Lord to further His Kingdom and His healing ministry and for coming to Lake Charles to share that with us. You are a precious, precious blessing to the body of Christ.

We started listening to part 2 of Disciples in Healing. Very awesome!

Thank you again dear brother and sister in Christ. God's richest presence and blessing in and over your lives and your family!!!

Love in Christ,

Sharon and Terry Ardizzone
