Sozo
Bethel Sozo is a relational network committed to bringing inner healing, wholeness and freedom to individuals.
Bethel SOZO is a unique inner healing and deliverance ministry in which the main aim is to get to the root of those things hindering a person’s connection with their heavenly Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit. This is likely to involve repentance, forgiving others, healing wounds and renouncing lies believed and replacing them with truth.
In Scripture
The Greek word, Sozo, appears many times in scripture and is translated “saved, healed, delivered.”
Salvation
“That if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you shall be saved (sozo).”
Romans 10:9
Healing
“But Jesus turning and seeing her said ‘Daughter take courage your faith has made you well (sozo) and at once the woman was made well (sozo).”
Matthew 9:22
Deliverance
“And those who had seen it reported to them how the man who was demon-possessed had been made well (sozo).”
Luke 8:36
What happens in a Sozo session
- Sozo sessions typically last about an hour and a half, repeat sessions are not normally required
- The sessions are conducted by two team members and are (with some legal exceptions) completely confidential
- Sozo is not counselling, rather it is a time of interacting with Father, Son and Holy Spirit
- The team will walk you through the process of freedom and wholeness using the following “tools” or models;
- Father Ladder
- Four Doors
- Presenting Jesus
- The Wall
- Coloured lenses
- Trigger mechanisms
- Divine editing
The “guest” having the Sozo session is encouraged to have a conversation with the Godhead and they are the one who decide what is talked about. Everything that happens in a Sozo session comes from what the guest hears from God for themselves. When they leave their Sozo, they have a written record of all the good things they have heard from their heavenly Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit.
