Sozo Ministry

SOZO is the Greek word translated as “saved, healed, delivered.”

Salvation: “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: “Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed [sozo] you.” And the woman was healed [sozo] at that moment.” – Matthew 9:22

Deliverance: “Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured. [sozo]” – Luke 8:36

The Sozo ministry initially developed at Bethel Church in California, is a unique inner healing and deliverance ministry that gets to the root of those things hindering your personal connection with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit leaving you free to walk into the fullness of purpose for which you have been created.

A Sozo ministry session may last 1½ – 2 hours. The Sozo team will sit down with you and by following the Holy Spirit, wounds are healed, strongholds are broken and the truth is revealed. The focus in this ministry is for you to receive the full healing that Jesus bought at the cross. Sozo ministry is not a counselling session.

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save [sozo] the lost.”
Luke 19:10
