Sozo
is the inner healing and deliverance ministry headquartered at Bethel
Church in Redding, California. The co-leaders of the ministry have
written this book to help believers remove the lies that block the
gift of God's abundant life.
The
authors explain that the gospel is more than salvation from hell.
Believers are to have freedom, power, and love now. They explain the
meaning of sozo, the essential nature of a strong relationship with
God, forgiveness and healing wounds from the past, getting rid of
lies and replacing them with the truth, closing the doors that allow
demonic oppression, practicing discernment, and more.
The
authors have included a number of examples of sessions with sozo team
members, including dialog and prayers. They explain the steps of the
various aspects of the ministry so readers can go through the healing
process themselves. Included at the end of each chapter are
discussion questions, specific steps of action to take, and a
suggestions for further reading.
The
authors remind us that we are engaged in a spiritual war. This book
helps Christians to be participants in combating evil on a personal
level. Readers must be willing to seek truth from God and accept it.
We are also reminded that when we receive healing, it is our
responsibility to walk it out.
I
recommend this book to Christians who want to know more about inner
healing and deliverance. These ministries can seem scary and the authors have done a great job of explaining how it is done, including
specific steps for readers. I highly recommend that this book be read
within a group. The wisdom and insight of others while reading the
book and following the steps would provide encouragement and
protection.
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
