What is the Sozo Prayer Ministry?
Here is a true story about a female humpback whale that was found off-shore near San Francisco. She had become entangled in hundreds of pounds of crab traps that had weighted her down and hundreds of yards of rope that wrapped around her entire body, tail, and tugged at her mouth. She couldn’t move. When an environmental group was called, the team soon realized the only way to free her was to carefully cut away all the lines, traps, etc. to untangle her. After many hours of work, they were able to set her free. Once free, she swam around joyously in circles and then went up to each person who set her free, nudged them as a gesture of thanks. The team that freed her was forever changed.
We can be like the whale, weighted down and entrapped by lies, fears, pains, injustices, anger, hatred, loneliness, depression, anxiety, and the list may grow. God wants us to be free from all that keeps us bound up. Because Father God loves us so much, He sent Jesus to show us how to live and let us know how much God loves us. Jesus also paid the price for all of us to be set free from our sins and painful lives by dying on the cross for our salvation. The Holy Spirit then came to be our comforter, counselor and to dwell in us. Sozo means Saved, Healed and Delivered. Sozo is an inner healing ministry to help people gain freedom from the entrapments and weights of life, to be healed emotionally, spiritually and physically, and to be delivered from the things which keeps us from the fullness and abundant life in communion with the Godhead. The Sozo team is here to help cut away the ropes, weights, and entanglements of life. Our desire is to see people set free to fulfill the destiny God has planned for us.
Sozo Session
Each session has at least 2 people, plus the one receiving ministry. The session is Spirit-led in exposing lies and seeking truth and healing in an effective and honoring way. Sessions can last between one to two hours. Due to the nature of Sozo, people are amazed at how easy and quickly healing can come.
Our Team
The Grace Sozo team consists of a dedicated group of people who are first and foremost devoted to Father God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. They have a passion to see people come into the fullness of relationship and intimacy with the Godhead and to seize their God ordained destines. The fruits of the Spirit are very evident in their lives as they show love, kindness, gentleness, consideration, peace, understanding and care. Each team member truly desires to see people saved, healed and delivered and are willing and gifted instruments in the process of bringing freedom to the sozoee. The team has been trained with the Basic and Advanced Training Video’s and have attended Basic Sozo and will attend Advanced Sozo training conferences from Bethel Church.
