My personal interview with Major Change E-Magazine!
It was indeed an honor and a blessing to discuss my life and ministry.
To God be the Glory!!!
Here is the majority of the interview.....
Prophetess Arleen Dorn
 MCMAG
1. Praise God Prophetess how are you Today?
Prophetess (Arleen):
Blessed and Honored ...very honored! How are you ?
EDGG:
Blessed! Praise God Our Ministry Molding is of the same Potter sort.. When most are asked how are they? Most reply ok or fine, I know that when you say blessed most were reared or taught to reply in such a manner. amen.
MCMAG:
2. Please explain to us why you call your self Prophetess Arleen;
Prophetess:
Well, actually, I generally call myself Sister Dorn or just Arleen if you and I were to be introduced in everyday conversation. But in ministry,in formal mission work and within our congregation I am addressed as Prophetess Arleen.
There was a period in time about 20 years ago, when God was calling me to Ministry, I was bound by fear and very unsure about myself and who I was in Christ. God delivered me from fear and assured me that I was not only called to ministry but that He had anointed me as a prophetic voice for such a time as this. I was too humble and modest to the point where it was of fear and not faith. Now that God has delivered me and I walk in His anointing and authority , not my own...I now have holy boldness, in Christ Jesus and through His Spirit He instructed me to refer to myself as He has appointed and anointed me to be. So when you see “Prophetess Arleen” it’s not me trying to be perceived as “important” ....it is , however, a message to what once had me bound and kept me from accepting the call of God on my life. Titles and positions before man does not mean anything if you are not titled and positioned by God.
MCMAG:
Praise God Prophetess We Totally agree., No One Cant stop The plans that GOD has for you if your life; only step out on faith and Receive amen..
MCMAG:
2a.This is not in fun but for those that are new to the church please explain the function of a Prophet,or Prophetess ?
Prophetess:
Well, throughout the bible there were at least 10 Prophetesses, female Prophets of God, that were mentioned and spoke of. And many of them were in the Old Testament .
Basically, a prophet/prophetess are spiritual “Seers”. We have a God-given gift to see things before they come to pass, to foretell events sometimes years before they are to take place. We are also gifted to discern, declare and to rightly divide God’s Word.
God uses me as a “Seer” along side my husband and Pastor within our congregation. Through God’s Spirit I warn, exhort, and discern Divine direction for our ministry and many individuals within the body of Christ. The Holy Spirit does speak to me in dreams and visions as well. He reveals things to me concerning perfect strangers; about their lives, their childhood, their past hurts or struggles as well as some of God’s plans for their future. Even as a young girl, I experienced aspects of the gift. I received Christ as my Savior at 15 and from my relationship with Him I have learned to recognize His voice and I am still learning today.
MCMAG:
3. Prophetess Dorn, I came to the Ning Networks in April, in that time I have never seen any one work as hard as you do, how much of this is ethic and how much is Holy GHOST?
Prophetess:
I would say it is 100% Holy Ghost! Everything I’ve ever shared or have started online has been by the leading and prompting of the Holy Ghost...period. I love people and I love to see God’s people connect and grow in wisdom and knowledge and in encouraging one another. I actually started both Kingdom Living and My Praise Space in Fall 2007 but it wasn’t until the beginning of this year that I really dedicated myself to developing the networks and ministry.
Praise The Lord We will back Directly, Please take a few Minutes as we bring you more of our Interview with Prophetess Arleen Dorn...
Welcome back, to part 1 of Meet and Greet with The Prophetess Arleen Dorn..
EDGG:
4. We hit it off from the door why do you believe, this happened?
Prophetess:
If I recall correctly, I welcomed you to one of the networks and I read your testimony on your profile and I was inspired by it. We kept running into each other I believe, because we shared the same spiritual interest . I understood you to have a genuine desire to share the gospel and your testimony and that’s exactly what I wanted to do also. Besides, from your photo, you reminded me of a very Dear Deacon that my husband and I were close to. Smile} He’s gone to be with the Lord now, but he was another one who loved the truth, who told you just like it was but was so loving and had the best sense of humor.
You are a similar spirit...I feel like i've known you forever.
EDGG: Praise God he must have been very Handsome and smart!
LOL!!
MCMAG:
5.You are the wife of a Pastor correct, what has that been like for you ?
Prophetess (Arleen):
Overall, it has been a blessing and also very challenging at times. My husband is also my best friend so he has made being a pastor’s wife a blessing and as smooth as possible. I do a lot behind the scenes concerning the ministry and I carry the members in my spirit just as my husband does. I’m not the quiet, barely visible kind of first lady. I and my husband are a team and I am very active and involved in the church. One aspect that isn’t so positive ....whenever I go through something, I have to take my burdens to the Lord...and Him only, just as we all should, but many times there is no one who I can confide in without being judged save the Lord Jesus Christ. I do count it an honor to be a Christian example of leadership and I do take the responsibility very seriously.
EDGG:
6. One of the things that I admire the most is your ability to operate, through trial, namely Fibromyalgia , this is a illness that can be horrible to some; explain to us how bad it has been for you ?
MCMAG :
We want to briefly explain that Evangelist Gilliam could not stay silent during the making of The question's so we have MADE you guys aware of the Questions he had to have answered, Praise God..
Prophetess:
Yes, for me, battling Fibromyalgia has been extremely difficult for me and for my family. This illness, or should I say ...this attack of the enemy sent by the Lord..really hit our family HARD!!! For over 12years I have had to engage in all out spiritual warfare for my healing and for my family’s well-being. I was diagnosed with this chronic muscle disease during the prime of my life, a young vibrant woman in the ministry with a beautiful marriage, beautiful kids, and a promising career as an elementary teacher and also a gospel singer/songwriter. I was a stay -at-home Mom for the years we started our family with our three children. After our youngest son went to school, I went back to work as a teacher’s assistant at the school my children attended. God allowed our family to truly experience love. Peace and happiness just before the storm hit . Many years before diagnosis I dealt with the symptoms but just chalked it up as another attack of the enemy because of all the souls we were winning for Christ and so many testimonials of others healings, deliverances and prophecy being fulfilled. I spoke the word aloud daily, I rebuked the devil, I took inventory of my life and search myself for sin or lack of obedience to God or if there was any unforgiveness and still no outward manifestation of my healing.....But...I always knew I was healed by His Stripes. God cannot lie.
Praise God :
MCMAG:
7. When one is truly involved in Ministry and dedicated to there calling as we are, we are always in spiritual Battles. What is your weapon of your choice. Please Explain what brings you through.
Prophetess:
Well, you’re getting to know me pretty well Evangelist ...Smile. Praise is definitely one of the primary weapons of choice for me! We all know God’s word is what we must stand on and rely on, right? It will never pass away so that must be the foundation to our relationship with Jesus Christ, first and foremost. Now after you know and stand on His word, we must learn to totally trust Him and trust that every word He has spoken, will come to pass, no matter what things look like or appear to be and more importantly, even if things don’t look like what He promised for a long, long, time. So, praise is for those who have been seasoned, who have been tested, who are on the front line if-you-will.
When I praise God, I’m saying Yes, and Amen to every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. I’m saying Yes, Lord I trust You. Yes Lord, I know this battle is not mine but it is yours! Yes Lord, I know You can not lie. Yes, I know you love me and that despite what I face I AM More than a Conqueror! Hallelujah! There is nothing I can get myself in , that PRAISE WON’T GET ME OUT!!!! O bless the wonderful name of Jesus!
MCMAG:
8.Do you mind if we shift gears for a moment; How long have you been married?
Prophetess (Arleen):
I have been happily married to my best friend and partner in ministry for 21 years now.
MCMAG:
9. Do You have children , and if so how have you faired in raising God fearing Children.
Prophetess (Arleen):
Yes, I have three very anointed ...well, young adults now.(smiles) Our oldest son, Stephen, an awesome athlete and actor, is in his sophomore year away at college, our daughter, Rachel, is a photographer and up and coming designer and Jonathan, our church’s minister of music, a singer songwriter and producer is a junior in high school .
I praise God for our children and we are very blessed to have such well mannered and servant- minded kids. They have definitely been brought up in the fear of the Lord and in His word. I would have to say, though there are so many things I would have done differently in retrospect, by the grace of God, we have done exceptionally well.
MCMAG:
10.How have you been so successful in bringing up your children in the Lord.
Prophetess:
Even before our children were born my husband and I discussed how important it was for us to be a Christian example to our children. We believe our greatest ministry was not behind the pulpit but at home. Now, mind you we were not perfect by any means. But we admit our mistakes, we love to have family time and lots of communication and we always rely on prayer to God to get us through the rough places. A lot of things, I feel, were lost due to the sickness/ storm I have had to face....it affected every one of us differently. But overall, I believe without the stormy weather we would not have the values we have and our children would not have how strong we can be when you trust in the Lord.
MCMAG:
11. I dont know if most are aware that you have 2 networks, have you accomplished the goals that you intended, if not have you had thought of giving up on them?
Prophetess:
I would have to say, Yes and No to that .....Yes, because I have accomplished in a very general sense, 2 networks ( http://KingdomLiving.ning.com , http://MypraiseSpace.ning.com and also my publishing website http://SoulcryEntertainment.com ) that I believe lift up the Name of Jesus Christ and provide a place where all people can meet Him there as well as places where the body of Christ can spiritually connect and gain strength from one another. However, I would also have to say No in the overall vision and in the professional sense because there is so much more I want to implement that I believe will increase interest and provide fresh bread for those who hunger after the righteousness of God. The more I am seeing my manifested healing in my physical being, I find I have less time to contribute to my online ministry because of my ministry within my church as well as other territories and places throughout the Orlando area and beyond. But the thought of giving them up ....I have not ever had! Oh no...like one of my headlines read...“ I’m not here to compete...I’m here to release!”
God has given me a message and a mission and it is not contingent upon what no one else does or does not do. It’s not about me, it’s not about perception, it’s not about numbers, or popularity, nor is it about what others are doing or not doing.... It’s all about Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior!!! Amen!
MCMAG:
Praise God and To That END We Salute you and The work you have done amen...
Prophetess (Arleen):
Well thank God ......God bless you for that encouragement.
MCMAG:
12. Working for God and being in The Ministry is not easy work;' why did you choose this line of work or do you consider it to be a calling....
Prophetess (Arleen):
In the very beginning of starting these networks, I pretty much thought I chose to start them. But as I began blogging and being lead to encourage God’s people, I quickly learned that God actually chose me. Now when it comes to being a minister of music and a prophetess and a co-pastor along side my husband...that is definitely all the Lord’s doing. There is no doubt in my mind that He has called me and anointed me to be a part of the Ministry of this Great Gospel. And Yes, I did choose to follow Jesus all of the way.
MCMAG:
12a. Have you had any regrets in your choosing.
Prophetess (Arleen):
No Not one! I give God all honor and praise for counting me worthy to serve Him and His people.
Praise God:
MCMAG:
13. Our own personal experiences tells us Prophetess that you chose a singing career in Gospel music when the industry was not as open as it is now. In other words there was not much of a chance that you could make a living at it; as some are doing today.!
I also know that you had to spend much of your own money to keep it going , do you have any regrets ?
Prophetess (Arleen):
Absolutely not. I have been singing since the age of 4 or 5. When I first had the opportunity to record and to travel, I was about 22 years old. I was signed a modest contract that I later, did regret. But what I learned from that experience , as well as from a whole host of other recording woes, is simply priceless. The only reason my music ministry has not propelled to the forefront as of yet is because of God’s divine timeline and the fact that I could not go out on the road due to battling with a debilitating illness.
Many of my new found friends may not be aware that I have released 2 projects and they both sold out a few times. Not platinum sales like Yolanda Adams mind you (laughing) but praise the Lord for all of those who have supported my music over the years and still do. So, thanks to all of those supporters, I have not had to invest very much of my own money. And there are so many requests for more of my old releases ...if I had a dollar for everyone I would still be seeing a harvest in what God enabled me to plant. I know that as soon as I began to focus on the music aspect of my ministry again ...I will see the hand of God and He will prosper that as well. To Him be all glory and praise! It is very true I have had some setbacks...but I believe them to be set-ups for God to Show-up!!! ( smiling)
I am now involved in several projects of other artists as a producer and songwriter that will be a pleasant surprise to many in the months to come. Oh and my new CD will be released next year!!! Hallelujah!!!
Hallelujah We Celebrate with you In Jesus name amen!!
EDGG:
14. Who is your favorite Gospel singer, and or pastor?
Prophetess:
Ahhh now that’s a good question..... There are just so many awesome singers! But if I had to pick one I think I would have to say ....KIM BURRELL just because of her spiritual dedication and anointing as well as her skill and vocal expertise .
MCMAG:
15. Prophetess do you come from a Christian back ground?
if so or not did it affect your relationship with GOD?
Prophetess (Arleen):
Well, you see...
My mother and father both were taken to church as kids and knew basic Christian values, but were not professing to be saved for most of my childhood. But they did allow my friend and neighbor to take me and my sister to church at about age 7 or 8 . Through this, I then became more familiar with God and the gospel and I always had a desire to be saved. It was through going to church with my friend that I discovered I really had a gift to sing . I later began learning different hymns and sang my first solo in their youth choir. It definitely had a profound impact on my relationship with God.
MCMAG:
16. This is a question I ask everyone, If God gave you a choice to come to heaven now or remain here on earth what would you do?
Prophetess (Arleen):
Definitely remain here on Earth. Despite all I have had to endure, I just want to give out ALL that God has given me to the world....to help win more souls for Christ, to help snatch more precious people from the hand of the devil....to just be used by God all the more. I don’t want to leave this world until I know I have fulfilled all that God has assigned to my hands to do and I am taking a whole lot of souls to heaven with me!!! Okay(smiles). To the glory and praise of the Father.
Praise God
Ladies and Gentlemen This is PROPHETESS Arleen Dorn.........
Please Thank This woman Of God for giving of her Time , to be with us for just a minute. We do hope that the Lord will bless you and Minister to you By and Through this Interview..

This song was recorded at home as a sketch for another artist. The actual finished version will be undoubtedly 100% better and more professional of course. With that in mind, please listen to it and tell me whether or not you think this song is worth the development.
Keep me in your prayers and thanks for the support!!!

Hello Friends!
Prophetess Arleen here spreading the word and with a little reminder to you ...Jesus is Coming Soon!
It's not global warming, it's not El Ninyo, it's not strange weather, or a problem in the ozone layer ...No it's not a bird
nor is it a plane.... it's Jesus Christ The Anointed One, The First and The Last, The Lamb Of God, The Lion of Judah, Our Reigning King of any and every king, The Lord of lords , My Savior, Your Savior, The Lilly of Every Valley, The Wheel in the middle of a wheel, The Bright and Morning Star, The Great I AM, The Alpha and Omega, and SO MUCH MORE!!!
Ready or Not ... Believe it or Not ..... Jesus Is Coming!
Check out the Lyrics to a song I wrote entitled " Be Ready" and take a moment to listen on my page !!!
It will inspire you to live every day as if it's the very day He is coming to take you to the place He has prepared for a you and for a prepared people...that where He is ...we will be also.
I wrote this song some years back under the full inspiration of His Holy Spirit during a time when I could barely stand or walk and was in one of the darkest of times in my life. Out of the darkness and in the midst of severe and almost unbearable pain , I heard beautiful music that seemed to come from the angels in heaven. I got out of bed and held on to the walls to get to my piano as I heard His voice saying to me to play, as best as I could, the melody and the tune I heard in my ears. Within about 10 or 12 minutes the entire song was complete . I never forget the words or music that God gives me...not ever. Not even after 6hundred and seventy something songs. To Him be the Glory!
I later sat down with a gifted musician, by the name of Devin Girtman , some months after I recorded it at my home studio
and this is what you now hear !
Please pray that one day SOON I will complete a real 'professional' project to share with the world.(lol)
Anyways, the lyrics to this particular song have touched many to change their lives and to give their lives to Christ already! Praise God's Holy Name!!!
So if you want any of your loved ones who haven't received Christ as their Savior to be stirred, this would be great to share with them!!!
Here are the Lyrics to that Song:
"Be Ready"
Written by Arleen Dorn Copyright 2004.
Little children gather 'round
I've got to tell you
listen close to every word
I have to say
The same Jesus
who died for all our sin
He is coming back
to carry us away
Chorus:
But you've got to be ready
when He comes
get your house in order
don't let Him catch you with your work undone
You 've got to be ready
ready when He comes
this could be the very day
when He comes to carry us away
but you've got to be ready
when Jesus comes
Now it may be in the morning
it may be night or noon
I really don't know
All I know is He's coming soon
So I came here to tell you
I stop by just to remind you
you better get your heart right
make sure you're walking in the light
if you want to go, too
Chorus:
But you've got to be ready
when He comes
get your house in order
don't let Him catch you with your work undone
You 've got to be ready
ready when He comes
this could be the very day
when He comes to carry us away
but you've got to be ready
when Jesus comes
Oh the walls are made of jasper
they tell me the streets are paved
paved with gold
And Lord when you return
I just got to go
What does it profit a man
to gain this whole wide world
and turn around
and still lose his soul
Oh, I got to be ready
when JESUS comes
I'm getting my house in order
I don't want Him catch me with my work undone
You 've got to be ready
ready when He comes!
this could be the very day
when He comes to carry us away!
but you've got to be ready
when Jesus comes!
Got to be ready
Got to be ready
Be Ready
Be Ready, Be Ready
Gotta be ready
OH This could be the very day
when He comes to carry us away!
but you've got to be ready
when Jesus Comes !!!

Yes, that is correct!
I'm not here to compete with you but I'm merely here to release to you!
As a songwriter and recording artist and most importantly, as a ambassador of the Kingdom of God, I am here to release all that God has invested in me that I may be a blessing to, an encouragement or motivation to, or help bring deliverance to you in some way.
The Lord has warned me personally, to be aware of any spirits of competition or any self-promoting, self-glorifying attitude that can so easily lead to feelings or emotions that God does not desire to see in the minister of music or the true child of God pursuing their personal call of God. It's great to share your music and blogs and other messages of hope to the world and to connect with all people...that is exactly what God wants us to do. But as for me, whenever I do get your attention, you best believe I want Him to find me pointing you to Christ instead of myself. I want you to know I'm interested in your ministry as well, as I share of my ministry with you. Ultimately, It's all about Jesus and not about us!
It's nothing more rewarding than to be admired and adored by those who appreciate your craft and your ministry and even moreso by those who are touched, enlightened and inspired by it to the point they want to know Christ more. That is one of the primary reasons I dare to share my music ministry in such early stages of its development ...to reach someone, to touch someone, to minister to someone ...to the praise and glory of Christ Jesus! But also...there is nothing more grieving to the Spirit of God to watch and listen to His people, time and time again glorifying themselves more and more and magnifying Him...or even mentioning Him less and less. And some barely at all.
Well, I've been warned... I've taken inventory and Iwill take heed. If it's one thing I've learned through my walk with the Lord...is that no matter the circumstances and through all the tests ...I love God more than the dream, more than the ministry, ...more than life. When you choose Jesus over life, the dream or your heart's desire..Forever... then He will in turn give you life, the dream and your heart's desire...Forever!
Pursue your destiny, fulfill your callings , release all that He has given you and Give God all the glory! Only what we do for Christ will last!!!
Blessings you & Loving Him,
Arleen

Hello Friends & Loved Ones!!!
It's very early morning and out of no where I'm impressed upon by the Holy Spirit to share with you my battle with a very severe case of fibromyalgia.
Nowadays, more and more individuals are becoming more familiar with the disease. However, about 8 years ago, when I was first diagnosed, I had never heard of it , never knew any such thing exist and didn't have a clue to what it was. Sad to say, very few doctors knew anything of it either. And being that I was, and very much still is, a devoted Christian woman, full of faith, full of life, with the contagious smile and the bubbly personality...I didn't really seek to know anything more about it ...other than it's name.. no, not in the beginning.
I just knew that I would fast and pray about it as with any other issue and soon be walking in my God-given, Divine health. And besides, my husband, a fiery evangelist at the time, and I have laid hands on countless others who were sick or diseased and through the power of Jesus' Name they were instantly healed.
Well, the rainy days for me turned into storms, and the storms turned into a hurricane season, and a season of affliction turned into many, many years of pain, frustration, soul-searching and tribulation for me, my family and the ones I minister to.
For more than twelve years now, I've had to deal with the symptoms, the pain and the life style adjustments of being afflicted with fibromyalgia.
Many people with fibromyalgia are still able to work, and maintain a somewhat normal lifestyle, especially in the early stages. And many more, unfortunately, are bedridden, depressed, in constant excruciating pain, and have no answers from the medical community.
As for me, I was experiencing symptoms for many years before I was diagnosed and would always say it was an attack of the enemy because of all the people who would be touched through our ministry or because so many received salvation or deliverance. In retrospect, I guess I thought of it as some sort of price I had to pay for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Until the pain became more frequent and more crippling and time in bed grew from a day or two to a week or two. I continued to speak aloud God's Word and declare my healing and in the midst of darkness, depression, and near despair, I held on to the only thing I had left....My FAITH IN GOD!
And then, one day all of a sudden, I would get out of bed pain free. Cooking, cleaning, enjoying my family, working on my music again, excited about life ...and just as suddenly as my joy appeared, the most incredible most unbearable kind of pain would grip the muscles in my legs, shoulders, back, arms,... everywhere. After laying down to rest and becoming relaxed, I could literally see the swollen muscles. And for another period time, I would be in that kind of painful state.
Eventually, I had to give up my job as a teacher's assistant at the elementary school where my three kids attended and had to postpone my teacher's degree, my house had to be adjusted to accommodate a wheelchair and other equipment and my husband and children became my caretakers.
You can only imagine all of what goes on mentally when you're suddenly unable to do all the things you enjoy, besides the physical and spiritual warfare. Even when you have lot's of money, lot's of friends, or even a brand new 6,000 square foot home, or new automobile.. it means nothing when you cannot enjoy those things or enjoy life ....when you're in pain and need someone to help you get out of bed, and everything you're used to doing for yourself. All of sudden things that used to be important to you ...aren't important anymore.
For a long time no one ever knew of my condition. I always listened to their problems and encouraged them and God knows, even in my pain I cannot help but to smile! The joy of the Lord has always been and will remain MY STRENGTH! So, when I began to miss too many events, or it became longer periods of time before I could call up a friend or visit with family it became more and more apparent that something was wrong! As "the church" learned of it, I would get more and more comments like "you just got to go deeper in the spirit and get your healing" or "You better put the devil under your feet" and " aww you'll be alright ..it's all in your mind". I know everyone means well whenever trying to encourage someone in an area they are totally unfamiliar with. Many people, thank God, haven't ever had to deal with something that lasted longer than a month or a year even. It's true though... you do learn who your real friends are when you're at your lowest point. The story of Job took on a whole new meaning to me.
Well, I've been in and out of hospitals and doctor's offices and every doctor I have seen tries to treat me as though I have rheumatoid arthritis. Which is completely different, although there are a few similarities. Yes, the level of pain is triggered by rainy or cold weather. But, no it is not the joints or the bones..it's the muscles.
Over the years, I've definitely researched and continue to update myself with the latest information and with anything made available to treat this chronic illness. All while doing all I can, when I can , finding creative ways to be a blessing to my family and everyone I meet and yes, standing on the promise of God that says I'm already healed. I now know of things that can help ...while I've learned of nothing, not even the morphine I'm prescribed, that takes the pain away completely.
But I know a man who specializes in things that seem impossible. Jehovah Rophe -God, Our Healer. " With God all things are possible..to them that believe". He was despised and rejected of men and "Surely He has borne our griefs, and surely He has carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem Him stricken , smitten of God and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him and with His stripes we are Healed!!" Isaiah 53rd Chapter.
In all of this, God has given me hope, courage and strength to carry out His will for my life in the face of adversity and affliction. No matter what I go through, I understand that no weapon formed against me shall prosper, even when it looks like or feels like it is! I understand now that real faith is pleasing God and loving others despite what you're battling....anyone can have faith when they have nothing facing them or with nothing to conquer.
It does not take as much Faith to do God's will after the storm has passed ...as it does to fulfill His purpose right in the midst of the storm!!! While the wind is still swirling, the lightening has not ceased and the thunder seems to get louder the more you declare the name and the works of the LORD!!!
Faith is the substance of things hoped for
the evidence of things not seen!!
If you know someone who has been sick , or maybe dealing with something far worse than this, just remember to do all you can to be a blessing to them and their family. Whatever it is that they are unable to do, whether it's cooking, driving, or whatever it may be, if it's within your power to help them, do all you can and God will surely bless you for it. If you are the one who has been dealing with sickness, make sure you declare out loud the word of God that promises your healing and no matter how sick you feel, always trust God with your life, your destiny and your future. Surround yourself with the word of God or music that lifts the name of Jesus so to leave no room for the enemy to speak lies to you about what you're going through. Make sure you have been seen by the doctor and they know what you're experiencing. They don't have ALL the answers but God created them with knowledge to improve or help save your life. And last but not least, HOLD ON TO YOUR FAITH IN GOD!!!! When the doctors have done all they can do, when you prayed and had others to pray and you aren't seeing results in the natural...you must hold on to your faith. Believe that it's not over unless God says so.And along as you're breathing you are here ON PURPOSE!!!!
Yes, I still have very sick days even now..and Yes, GOD STILL HEALS!!! There is no failure in Him or His Word. I can't say I fully understand why my life has taken this route but one thing is sure..I wouldn't take nothing for the journey! I'm not going no where until God's purpose and plan has been fulfilled in my life....AND THE HALF HAS NOT BEEN TOLD!!!
I sing because I know ALL things, even in this, work together for the good of them who love God and who are the called according to His purpose!!! I'm determined to worship God and share with as many as possible His Great Love and Saving Grace!
Every song I've recorded at home has been while I was in pain and sometimes with tears. Many say my music sounds smooth and laid back and that's mostly because it was done softly in the middle of the night so not to wake anyone:)
BUT, I'm holding on 'til my change comes . I'm ENCOURAGED, BLESSED, AND EXCITED about what God has in store for His people!!!
Look for me to grow stronger and stronger in the things of God and also musically. Soon the world will see His Glory revealed in my life. But a few of you know the story behind the Glory!!!
Thanks for taking the time to read this...it's from my heart! God Bless you and your family!
Determined to Worship Him!!!
In Christ's Love,
Arleen Dorn

Hello Friends,
Prophetess Arleen here with some interesting lyrics to a song I wrote some time ago as I began to think of the condition of the world and the "church"; the organization as some of us know it.
Thank God most of us realize that the true church is Christ's body of believers who not only talk the 'talk" but walk the walk....that are after God's own heart and live to spread His Love and the gospel to everyone we meet.
Sometimes, I wonder do we really understand that it's really not about being inside a building on Sunday mornings, trying to win "best dressed" or "most likely to succeed" in church positions or "most likely to prosper" contests.. but trying to reach out to those who are dying both spiritally and physically right before our very eyes ...and we are His hands, His feet, ...we've got to present Jesus Christ and represent Him in every way!
To all those who can and will, Please Go to my page and listen to the song entitled "What's going On ".... you will be inspired to continue to let your light so shine before men...that they may Glorify the Father in Heaven and receive His great gift of salvation!!!
NOTE : If this particular song is no longer featured, look for a clip of it in the downloads currently available.
Here are the lyrics to that song:
"What's Going On"
written by Arleen Dorn Copyright 2006.
Tell me ..I wanna know
Tell me what's going on?
Time is winding up and it won't be long!
No time for playing .....
We've got to be " Real"
I wanna know..I 've gotta know
Tell me what's going On?
(repeat)
What's wrong with you Zion?
There's so many dying...
Can you hear them crying?
Tell me what's going on?
Tell me...why is there so much hate?
People can't get along with those of a different race.
And what about you and I
who say we are "in the church"
why is it so hard to forgive
whenever we "get hurt"?
Mothers against their daughters
Father against the son...
when are we gonna realize that we all are ONE?
Can you see the signs?
We're living in perilous times...
Earthquakes in divers places
Wars and rumors of wars;
Lying in dying is in the land...
Stealing and killing on every hand
Can somebody tell me please
Why are we so at ease?
Tell me ..I wanna know
Tell me what's going on?
Time is winding up and it won't be long!
No time for playing .....
We've got to be " Real"
I wanna know..I 've gotta know
Tell me what's going On?
And didn't He say..
I will pour out My Spirit in the last days?
Your sons and your daughters will prophesy
And they won't be denied;
And where are our men today?
Our children are going astray;
Why won't somebody rise up and stand up
and put the devil in his place?
Everybody's got some kind of frustration
Sitting out in the congregation...
But we need to get the revelation
of what God is doing in the nation!
Tell me ..I wanna know
Tell me what's going on?
Time is winding up and it won't be long!
No time for playing .....
We've got to be " Real"
I wanna know..I 've gotta know
Tell me what's going On?
What's wrong with you Zion?
There's so many dying...
Can you hear them crying?
Tell me what's going on?
We need to go to a higher place
Call on His name and seek His face!
Greater is He that is within me..
Open up your Eyes and you will see
What's going on!
What's wrong with you Zion?
There's so many dying...
Can you hear them crying?
Tell me what's going on?
We got to seek His face
Fast and pray...
Gotta go to a higher place...

Hello Friends,
I pray that you are rejoicing in the Lord and are blessed as never before..this our season yall!! The flood gates of Heaven are open and I have great expectation that God will bless us with everything we need to fulfill the great calling upon us!
Therefore, I'm so excited about my first real project being done this year in Jesus' Name!!! All of what I've done so far have been merely sketches of what I really have to present to the world. Most of the songs I have shared on this page were done at my home studio, while I was yet in pain and affliction , and some where actually done when I first heard the idea from the Lord, and after one take the songs were sketched. So you can understand why after all these years, I finally get to do introduce "SoulCry" that is my heart and soul ! I have quite a bit to do yet, I'm still in need of a producer and I still have to make the final decision on which studio I will be using and more than all that, I still need your prayerful support as well. I can only put forth my best interpretation of 'SoulCry" music in order for all you professional singers and artists out there to hear the songs and after the decision to use one or a hundred of them ,you will in turn take them to an entirely new dimension based your own interpretation and professionalism.
So, check me out from time to time here on myspace, ( www.myspace.com/soulcrymusic ) to get the latest news, updates and the release date! Thank you everyone that love and support me and of course, for your prayers!
One Love In Christ!
Arleen/SoulCry
