What is SOZO?
SOZO is the Greek word translated “saved, healed, delivered.” The word SOZO encompasses everything about being made whole, well, and free.
The SOZO ministry is a unique inner healing and deliverance ministry developed at Bethel Church in Redding, California, in which the main aim is to get to the root of those things hindering a personal connection with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
WHAT DOES A SOZO SESSION LOOK LIKE?
The prayer ministry session is led by one person and there is always a second and possibly third person present. Their role is to be supporting in silent prayer, offering written prompts to the lead person as they sense any insight from Holy Spirit and to note down for the guest any pictures, words of encouragement or scriptures that Holy Spirit gives directly to the SOZO guest. The ministry is very gentle and respectful, relying upon Holy Spirit to lead by directing the thoughts and memories of the ministry guest. It does not involve counseling.
A SOZO ministry session will last a maximum of 2 hours but can stop at any point the guest feels they have received what they need for that time. Sometimes a further SOZO appointment is suggested a short while later. Confidentiality regarding anything spoken about is carefully respected, following the usual ministry guidelines.
HOW CAN I RECEIVE SOZO MINISTRY?
