So, If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:36
“Throughout the time here at Freedom View with the Ross family, I realized conditions and aspects about myself that I was not aware of, or out of convenience, I ignored them, hoping they would leave me, along with the consequences of not dealing with them. But the Lord has been gracious, kind, and has worked mightily through the Ross’ to show me how to dig deep into the inner reaches of my soul, where the pain and anger lingered, to pray, to seek Him, to meditate on His word, and to listen to the wisdom of the Spirit. Through this work, I have been able to evaluate my heart and make changes so that I may be found faithful and become more and more like Him."
"In my forties I began to experience unusual physical symptoms, pain in my stomach, nausea, bowel issues, dizziness, headaches, fatigue, pain throughout my body. I went to the doctor and began a series of bloodwork, scans, and tests. Nothing was conclusive. No answers. Months later during soul care, God made it clear I had deep roots of bitterness and unforgiveness toward family members and even toward God himself because of traumatic situations from my past. After God allowed me to understand these situations in the light of the truth, I was able to forgive and allow Him to heal me. The healing took place in my soul and mind because I was able to understand things in the light of the truth through His Word and receive it with thankfulness and humility. My body was healed then as well! All the strange symptoms went away. Why? Did God deliver me from demonic attack because I finally surrendered to Him through forgiveness? Had I unknowingly allowed demons to attack me through surrendered ground by my rebellion of unforgiveness which caused these awful symptoms? Or was I healed because I was finally surrendered to God and had relief from all the lies I was believing before which brought physical relief as well? I don’t know! All I know is that I am healed physically, emotionally and spiritually. It is miraculous regardless of how God did it!"
"During soul care, God delivered me from anger, depression, anxiety, and unforgiveness. I was on antidepressants for over thirty years and over a process of about three months God helped me as I relied more on Him and less on medication for comfort. I have been off of those meds for years now. I walk in true freedom. I discovered deep intimacy with Him through prayer and His word I never thought possible. It is a testimony of His faithfulness and desire to meet every need that I have as I trust Him to do so."
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us Ephesians 3:20
"My husband and I moved from South Dakota to Arizona shortly after college. God providentially brought us into the amazing community church of Commissioned. Shortly after joining the church we were both saved and born again (praise God!!!). I finally understood God's amazing grace to me as a sinner, now forgiven through what Jesus has done for me on the cross. A few years later we individually had soul care sessions through Freedom View with Clint and Anna. Speaking from my own experience; I still had to learn to let go of my sin and shame and baggage through hearing God and God's word with the guidance of the people of God. There was such an amazing weight lifted after those 6 or so sessions! A few years after, my husband and I had another few soul care sessions together this time as husband and wife. We knew God was calling us back home and we wanted to be healthy spiritually; striving together towards the goal as one flesh before moving away from our church family. Now we are back in South Dakota and have the spiritual tools Freedom View and Commissioned gave us to pray and repent and present our requests to God. We are so thankful for Clint and Anna's ministry and love and miss our church family dearly! Thank you Commissioned and Freedom View!"
"I’ve been a believer for over 20 years of my life and never understood the hold that unforgiveness had on me until I started soul care. The bitterness I held onto began eating away at my heart and it felt like satan was feasting on my soul. I had hit rock bottom…but God was there to catch me and bring my soul back to life. The freedom I felt in Him after soul care, and praying through my unforgiveness, was purely a gift from God and such a demonstration of His pure, fierce, and intentional love. For me, soul care provided me with a spiritual tool kit. I feel empowered in my prayers, am able to understand what everyday spiritual warfare can look like, and continue to work towards daily freedom in Him. I am incredibly blessed and thankful I went through the process of soul care when I did. For anyone that is struggling, you are not alone. You are loved. And you are His. He wants nothing more than for you too to find freedom in Him.
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."
2 Corinthians 3:17
I am a missionary serving in New Zealand. I had the opportunity to meet with the Ross’s for soul care while I was on sabbatical and experienced more freedom than I thought possible. I have a lot of baggage ranging from childhood sexual abuse to drug use. I carried that unwanted baggage from then into my present. I knew I needed to do something to change thought patterns, habits, etc., in order to fully step into what God had called me into as a missionary. As I began to work through the Steps to Freedom, I immediately realized I was not as free as I thought I was. I know God wanted me to be free, so I decided to hold him to that. This embarked me on a journey to take back the ground I had lost to the enemy. I began this journey thinking it was going to be a walk in the park. I was wrong but committed to seeing this journey to the end. Surrendered to Christ and with guidance from the Ross’s to help me along the way I’m on the other end of it now and I have more freedom than I’ve ever experienced! I am super glad I got to walk this journey, and incredibly thankful for Anna and Clint’s dedication to see me through to the other side. I can say that I am much more equipped to walk others into the freedom of Christ now. I have gained a deeper passion to follow Jesus into whatever he calls me into, and a deeper passion to pursue the lost, hurting, and broken. Thank you, Jesus, for the freedom you give, and the heart you have for all of us!
