Frequently Asked Questions

 

General Questions

Can one Sozo session actually heal a lie that has been believed for many years?  Yes. Once the Lord heals the first time the lie was settled into your spirit, the rest of your life experiences based on this lie will realign to His truth.

Specific Inner Healing & Deliverance

How do you minister to someone who received wounds while in the womb?  I ask the Holy Spirit to come and show the individual where He was while the baby was in the womb.  Then I ask Him to remove the poisons that the child fed upon during the pregnancy and to realign their body, soul, and spirit to only receive the proper nutrients and to no longer be able to “feed upon” the lies and damages that occurred in the womb.

 

If addictions are symptoms, then should deliverance be done without doing a Sozo first? Yes/No.  God can always bring instant deliverance. I would usually like to follow up such deliverance with the ability to find out why the addictions were there so that they can walk in complete freedom.

 

In a ministry time how should deliverance be handled/done? Very gently.  Deliverance is a by product of the wounds and lies healing.

Ministry Process

What do you do when you get a religious answer? I thank God for that answer and ask Him for another thought for the person.

 

Training

 

Starting a Sozo Ministry

When starting a Sozo ministry in your church, who should you start with? You should start with a small group of leaders that you can trust to be vulnerable.

 

Who should be Sozo leadership? The leaders of your team should be the ones sozoing the leaders of your church.

 

Does the training seminar give you enough in-depth information for you to be qualified to counsel with Sozo? Yes/No.  You have been given all the information for the Basic Sozo but you can never underestimate experience. Jump in and give it a try. The CDs are helpful to re-listen to and to watch for any clarification.

 

Should you go through the Advanced Seminar, as well?  Yes if you are going to be ministering to people.  But you should wait until you have been doing this for about six months to fully benefit from the teachings.

 

Are we released to train others in the Sozo ministry? Yes/No.  Usually, most people begin teaching with our DVD's with their own leadership.  They do a weekly training where you watch one of the sessions then begin practicing with each other.

 

Team

What if it is a 1st that gets in over their head, can the 2nd shut it down?  Yes, but it is important to stay under authority.  The second can gently ask the first (or write it down) if they would like them to “try out” something.

 

What if the 1st doesn’t recognize that they are over their head?  The second should pray for God to bring breakthrough!  Many times we are just one step away from an amazing revelation when we are feeling stumped.

 

Can I lead someone to receive freedom if I don’t have any myself? Yes/No.  God can bring freedom to people even through unhealthy people.  But, my concern would be on the effect the ministry would have on you if you are not healthy.  It would most likely add a lot of stress to you.  We see it often that team members who are not fully healed actually “trigger” in a Sozo session and come away having to have the first pray also for them.

Paperwork

What paperwork do you use? We use a simple liability release and a very short intake form.

 

Can I have copies of the paperwork you use for the Sozo ministry? Yes.  But you will want to change them to your specifications.  (They are in the Sozo training manuals – not the DVD manuals)

Donations/Fees

Why do you have donations/fees for the ministry? “A workman is worthy of his hire.” We are not supported financially by Bethel Church.  We are independent contractors so we do not draw a salary for our Sozo sessions. Also, we find that people tend to value it more if they have to sow into their own healings.

 

What do you say to the people who are offended by being asked to donate or pay a fee for the ministry? We talk about the above reasons. But remember that sometimes a religious spirit will not bow to reason.
