The Prophetic Team and Dream Team are currently on sabbatical for the summer. When they resume ministry operations, an announcement will be made here and also on the newsletter.
We are thankful for all their labor of love and pray everyone is refreshed and strengthened in this season.

It’s been a while since the last newsletter. The Lord has directed me to take some time away from ministry. This edition’s main feature is an excerpt from an upcoming new book, You Can Be Free from Yourself!, by my long-time friend, David Alsobrook.
I have watched David undergo a dramatic transformation these past couple of years and am pleased that he is sharing his experience with us to give us all encouragement and hope, that the Lord will indeed perfect that which He has begun in us. Enjoy! ~ Donna Astern
From You Can Be Free From Yourself!:

It was transformation. It had happened by God’s work within me, as I sat passively in His Presence.
To put it another way, this work of transforming me had been all His work, not mine. The Holy Spirit did the actual transformation within my soul as He applied the benefits procured by the Cross. Should transformation occur within your soul, it will be as profound and unique to you as mine was to me. It is beyond the ability of words to convey the state of peace that is given to you in transformation. It is all grace, all love, all peace, all God.
Transformation was a death - an ending of “me” that was not the true me. This other “me” had been hurting for a half century. The other “me” needed constant care, had to be controlled, restrained, and was almost always hurting in one way or another.The emergence of the true me that had been hiding somewhere inside my body all these many years could only take place as the other “me” had dissolved in God’s Presence. Instead of God healing the hurting me, as I had prayed for years that He would do, the Lord killed that part of me, the part that had always been so painful. He had answered my prayers three years earlier to die and I did die. He then caused the true me He had earlier birthed on November 30, 1969, to come vibrantly alive in such a way that I had never sensed aliveness before.

This inner shift of knowing who I am produced profound change. It was transformation, in the language of Paul. It was deeper than anything I had ever known in over 40 years since the born again experience. Although I had experienced God in real ways over those 40 years, this fundamental change made previous divine touches, precious though they were, lessen in significance. The permanent change experienced in silence made metamorphosis as real to me as it must be to the new butterfly emerging from its old cocoon. The young butterfly is no longer trapped and in darkness inside a tight cocoon. It is free to fly about in the light. So am I.
This profound change is not for a few–the divine work of self dissolution is available for believers everywhere. Nor is this change new; it has occurred in the lives of many down through millennia. The “many” that have been changed in centuries past were actually few in number during any specific time period, so far as Church history records them. The Lord has recently spoken that “a sudden radical transformation” is about to occur on a “worldwide scale in the lives of many” of His people.
Those who have lived lives of inner defeat, frustration, confusion, and pain as I had for so many, many years are about to wake up and never be the same again. The Lord is not going to heal the part of them that is hurting, but remove it entirely, essentially kill it, so that the part of them that already had been made new in the born again experience, the spirit part of every believer, can thrive unhindered by anything within the soul part of every believer. If you have come to the point in your Christian life where you wish you could just die and go on to Heaven, this message is good news to your ears.
If you are in the place in your Christian walk where you are excited about all the good things you are doing for God or are going to do for God, this message will not mean much to you now. Such a Christian is not ready for transformation yet because he or she is inflated by self. It is only when you have tired of self, have been disillusioned by it over and over, and have come to the end of yourself that you are ready for this message. You might as well put this book on your bookshelf, but please do not discard it. Pick it up again in a few years after self has deflated you. When you are miserable as a result of allowing self to run your life, you are then ready for this book.
Changes Produced by Transformation
The soul of the believer, having been transformed by radical change, no longer strives against the spirit of the believer. Instead, the soul resumes its original function as servant to the spirit. It becomes the vehicle through which the spirit expresses Christ in the believer’s body. The soul is not the antagonist it formerly was, continually thinking against the spirit and even warring against it. Peace pervades the entire individual and even his or her body sleeps better. The physical body lives in harmony as part of the whole individual and the believer senses oneness within himself or herself as never before. You are not divided anymore. In the words of Jesus: “you are whole” (John 5:14).
This is what happened to me. It is lasting. It is real. It is transformative. It is the work of God. Since my soul is perpetually renewed now, there aren’t new disturbances continually arising within it. It seems as though “all things are new” which Jesus promised us as He sat upon His “rock”:
And He that sat upon the Throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” ~Revelation 21: 5 NKJV

God’s intention for our well-being is clearly revealed in the condition of Adam and Eve prior to their sin. They enjoyed a warm friendship with the Lord God as well as with one another. They were in complete harmony and supremely happy and healthy. When they sinned, everything changed. Listen.

Laura Houck addresses the need to purposefully build bridges with others in the Body of Christ, and draws parallels from the natural realm. Listen.

We live in a time in which “I’m so busy!” is a badge of honor. Many have not understood that the Sabbath, the day of rest, is a gift from God, intended to recharge and refresh us. This teaching underscores the validity of taking time for rest, recreation, and fun as part of a balanced lifestyle.

Praying for our leaders is Scriptural and commendable, but it’s not enough. We can conduct ourselves in such a way as to bring a smile to our leader’s face. Like Aaron and Hur who found a practical way to support both Moses and the Israelite army in time of battle (Ex. 17), there is something each of us can do that will make a real difference. See article here.

There are two approaches to life– to live as though God is at work, or as though He were not. Some who profess to believe in God worry and strive as though He were not a factor.
Jesus said, “Have faith in God.” This is a constant, abiding, and growing faith that is accompanied by hope, peace, and love.

There are many who will readily agree that this is true: we are sons of God. Yet, in attitude and practice, we often resemble servants or strangers, rather than sons– not too sure if we really belong there at the table with all the rest. Read here.
