The Wonder of Grace Recently, I saw an almost throw-away comment on Facebook. It said, “Favour is grace in action.” The implication is that we, all of us, live with the constant promise of God’s grace, but that we have to somehow engage with that grace to move to the point of actually receiving it […]
Carrying Emotional Baggage We all do it. We spend our early lives picking it up, and the rest of our lives either living with it or trying to get rid of it. It’s the emotional baggage we all carry as a result of the wounds that life so easily inflicts on us from the moment […]
Who are You? Whose are You? Aren’t those great questions? It’s such an innocent-looking sentence, but discovering the answer and being sure of it can be most challenging! At its root, it’s a question of identity and belonging, but let’s start with identity. The “Who are you?” question is loaded with possibilities. Are you what […]

Declarations During your Bethel Sozo, you will have broken and removed the right for many negative thought patterns and lies to rule in your life. Now, you have to learn to walk free of the residual habits that formed because of those lies. God will have revealed the truths, which replace those lies. What you […]
Journaling Over the last couple of days we’ve talked about the need to share your Bethel Sozo walk with other Christians and then to make sure you find the time to spend with Father God, Jesus and Holy Spirit, developing your friendship with them.

Sharing your Walk You’ll have completed an application form before having your Bethel Sozo.

We suggest that you find an accountability partner to share […]
