Restoring the Foundations

“The journey to wholeness must begin with a willingness to take an honest, spiritual inventory regarding our beliefs, experiences, and the ways we live our lives.  Most of us are a little uncomfortable about being that open.  RTF Ministry provides a very safe, loving, and affirming atmosphere for God to move, in community, to the deepest levels of our painful issues and bring us out into the light of healing and hope.  Being ministered to in this way, by the family of God, has brought me to a whole new level of intimacy with God, a deeper love for others, and to peace within.”

 “My life was full of constant struggle, uncertainty, and loneliness and, at times, hopelessness.  My Heavenly Father reached out to me, and did so through some truly blessed people from the RTF Ministry.  My life is now full of love, hope and knowledge.  I praise God!!  I never thought it was possible to have so much peace in my life.”

 “Shortly after I became a born again Christian I began feeling tremendous turmoil in my life and I did not understand the burdens that were weighing so heavily on my heart.  I wanted to die so that I would no longer see the evil and feel the pain I was feeling.  I was told about the RTF Ministry and it profoundly changed my life (possibly saved my life).  I was contacted immediately by a member of the RTF Team and became aware that I had been carrying years of baggage that I didn’t realize was causing me so much pain.  This ministry has given me a clearer understanding of God and his grace.  I will never forget this life changing experience and I praise God for the RTF Ministry Team.” 

 “Each time the RTF Ministry Team has prayed for me, I have seen more and more of God’s sweet truth.  I have realized I am loved and I am able to love.  I have realized my Heavenly Father wants to heal me, and some healings come quicker than others.  I am also encouraged, knowing that true wholeness is available when we are ready for it, because our Father is ready all the time.  Thank you for facilitating a time for me to receive those truths, RTF Team!!”

 “God is so good to bless us with the RTF Ministry.  I lived with past hurts and pains that were pushed so deep.  I thought I had already released them, but not completely.  It took deep prayer to release healing, to get peace, and experience God’s deep love.  Praise God, and praise the RTF Ministry. Thank you with all my heart.”

 “I am so grateful for God the RTF Ministry!  Being set free from bondages and having God reveal truth to me has made such a difference in my life! I thank God for people that are willing to pray for me and help me through!”

 “I am always amazed as I observe and experience how God weaves people in and out of our lives in His purposes for us and for His glory.  So it is with the RTF Ministry Team.  I had been very ill for sometime and after being tested, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a lung disease and possibly a mild stroke.  Charlene, from the team, and I were co-workers.  She asked if I would like for her to ask the team to pray for God’s direction in ministering to me.  They prayed and so did I.  On Friday morning we met and through them God ministered sweet comfort and healing, not only to my physical being, but also to a silent brokenness hidden in my life since childhood.  I am very thankful for the gentle love extended to me through this team, for their willingness to be used as instruments of healing and righteousness, and for the peace I felt knowing we were in the midst of His will and seated at His feet.  In addition – the M.S. turned out to be a viral infection that attacked my nervous system and the only thing left in my lungs is scar tissue.  In this I offer Him my praise.”

 “RTF Ministry is about appropriating our inheritance as God’s children – Jesus died so that we might LIVE, and live in wholeness.  He never intended us to just eke out a meager existence day after day, but to be more than conquerors—overcomers—those who truly reflect the goodness of God toward His people.  He proved this by healing all who came to Him during His earthly ministry and what He began then, we, as His Body, are to continue doing so that He will be glorified in all the earth.  Until the Body of Christ truly becomes whole, we can never hope to become the Bride without spot or wrinkle, or any blemish.  As long as we remain content to just get by in life, we greatly hinder His return to take us to be with Him for eternity.” 

Charlene,

Thanks so much for the time and prayer that you, Roger, and John invested in me last night. I can’t begin to express the first session’s impact on me or the gratitude I feel. It’s ironic that I write for a living, yet words fail me. Let’s just say the blessings were enormous and I’m feeling the effects of good works in progress. I know Roger was ostensibly an “observer,” but the Holy Spirit seemed to have him sharing the right things at the right time. The same thing goes for both John and yourself. If ever there was a team inspired by Divine Appointment, I experienced the results last night.

“I appreciate the efforts you took in assembling my “homework assignment(s)” and I’m committed to holding up my end of the process through study, meditation, prayer, and staying tuned in for the Still Small Voice. Occasionally, I’ve joked with God about sending “Burning Bush, the Sequel” my way, but maybe He’s waiting until I get to be Moses’ age before turning on the pyrotechnics. That’s okay, I’ll still be his son 30 years from now–after all, I received it…and believe it!”

“I look forward to our next session. If I rambled excessively or strayed off track last night, I apologize. Although I’d seen the videos, real-life ministry was still a new thing and took a little getting adjusted to.  I’ll be more prepared–and more focused–next time out.  Once again, thanks for letting God use you (and the crew) to help me.”

“I wanted to thank you for your ministry. Going through RTF ministry/training has revolutionized my walk with the Lord and set me free from some very strong bondage. The ministry has produced lasting fruit. Thanks again for your ministry, the impact you have made on my life, and the impact you are making on Elizabeth right now.”

“I remember the last afternoon I drove out of the parking lot after being at RTF with Charlene and our dear friend, Kitty.  I felt like a 100 pound weight had been lifted off of my shoulders.  I felt so light and I knew God had healed me of the grief that I had been carrying around for years.  I had been sexually abused as a very young child, and unbeknownst to me this abuse had carried over into failed relationships.  I had recently been betrayed by a woman that I had mentored and had had a very difficult time letting go of the grief and disappointment.  I was even beginning to wonder if there was something wrong with me.  During my sessions at RTF the Holy Spirit revealed to me that I was still carrying around that shame and that feeling that I was just here for people to use up and then leave.  He took me back to the abuse and helped me to see that those feelings were “left overs” from being sexually abused.  When I realized that I was able to let go and to forgive all of those in my life who have abandoned me or rejected me in some form or fashion.  In some cases, I know it is the Jesus in me that they have rejected and I can continue to love them and pray for them, without that horrible feeling of rejection.  I thank God that He led me to RTF.  I continue to use what I learned during my sessions, and my life was changed forever.”

Just a note to say thanks once again for the team being in our home last week. The anointing was so heavy in the room and I felt very humbled to be the one you were all focused on in one accord for my healing. Jesus is the love of my life and I have been repeating “I will live and not die to proclaim the wonders of God.” After seeing the doctor, I got a good report—no more hepatitis! To God be the glory!!!

Well, I don’t know where to start—all I can say is thank God for helping me. He made me able to hear, see, and walk better and is still giving to me. He is a loving God!

I received prayer for arthritis that I have had for five years. The team prayed for me and God came in and I was healed in the name of Jesus!

I want to thank you for the ministry last night. I did not know what might happen, as we have been to many places over the last 40 years and experienced quite a lot, but never any major healings for ours selves …I actually received a miracle last night while one of the team had her hand on my back.  By the time we left my pain was gone. First time I can remember in 50 years that I didn’t have pain in my back. God bless you all!
