Discernment Column (article 3) on Sozo.

Thought you all might like to see this. Great post on the topic of Sozo. The origional post can be found on the Godlee4Life blog. The blog author has a wealth of experience in the world of healing rooms and inner healing and provides some very profound testimony as to why Christians should avoid these practices.

Sozo Prayer Ministry – is it the real deal?

I first came across the term, “Sozo” while investigating a “personal prayer ministry” that had been set up at DC Metro Church in Washington, DC.

While my awareness of Sozo was new, the program itself is not and has been rapidly expanding through charismatic style fellowships for a number of years. As I began to ask questions about it, I started to face quite a lot of opposition and the suggestion that Sozo was godly and that to speak out against it would be to speak out against a move of God.

This I found troubling and the more I dug, the more alarmed I became at what I was discovering. Names like Dr. Ed Smith, Dr. Aiko Hormann, Bill Johnson and Bethel Church frequently popped up along with people like Agnes Sanford and John Wimber.

Here you’ll find the results of my research efforts, as rudimentary as they are. I hope you’ll stick around as I continue to finish up the final pages.

You can start learning about Sozo by clicking on the “About” section at the top of the page and discovering why I started investigating it in the first place. All the best!
