SOZO MINISTRY
Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” - Isaiah 53:4-5 (NIV)
SOZO ministry is a unique inner healing and deliverance ministry aimed at getting to the root of anything hindering your personal connection with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The word SOZO is a Greek word which appears 110 times in the New Testament, but is translated differently depending on the context.
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
Therefore, “SOZO” means “to save, deliver and heal.” When Jesus came to save us, salvation was not limited to eternal security alone–it included deliverance and healing! He came to give us abundant life. We do not have to strive through our journey here on earth. We desire to see all believers walk in the fullness of their Christian life. We want those seeking more of God to discover their identity and what Heaven says about who they are.
A SOZO session is an opportunity for participants to find freedom from past wounds, break strongholds in their lives, replace lies with God’s truth, and close doors that allow sin into our lives. Each session is designed to discover the root causes hindering personal connections with God and others. Breakthrough in these areas brings participants freedom and revelation of their true identity—how God the Father sees them. As each participant connects to the Godhead through this intimate, conversational and honoring session, he/she will experience inner-healing.
Tree of Life’s Sozo ministry is based upon Bethel Sozo, Redding, CA tools and practices.
