Looking to understand more about Unbound?
⬇️
Unbound is a safe, loving, and effective model of prayer ministry developed by Neal Lozano of Heart of the Father Ministries.
As children of a loving God, we were created to live in relationship with Him. Sin broke this relationship and separated us from God. Sin also opens the door for lies and bondage to enter our life, causing problems like fear, anxiety, hopelessness and shame.
The Good News is that Jesus brought salvation and liberation by dying for our sins and setting us free from this bondage. But even after accepting this gift of salvation, we don't always fully experience freedom; we continue to feel anxious, afraid, guilty, or hopeless.
Unbound helps us respond to the good news of the gospel and apply truth to our lives using the following Five Keys.
Key 1: Repentance and Faith. The greatest deliverance is embracing the grace of conversion - turning from sin and turning to the Lord! Jesus is our deliverer and He is our deliverance. The first key involves ongoing repentance and expression of faith as the hidden sins of our heart are revealed.
Key 2: Forgiveness. If we want to be like Jesus, we need to forgive from the heart. As we pronounce forgiveness by faith and renounce unforgiveness, bitterness and resentment no longer have a hold on us.
Key 3: Renunciation. Renunciation is declaring to the kingdom of darkness: "I will no longer make a home for sin or the deceptions and power behind it. I no longer agree with the lies that have been buried in my heart and my thoughts." The third key helps us to take a stand against our specific enemies, bringing Christ's victory into our lives.
Key 4: Authority. In Christ, we too have authority over our enemies who seek to destroy us. Through repentance, forgiveness, and renunciation, we take our stand against them. With this fourth key we decisively declare that the enemy's power has been broken in our lives.
Key 5: Father's blessing. God wants to break into our lives and reveal that He is our Father. He wants to affirm our identity, purpose, and destiny. To be "unbound" means that obstacles to God's love have been removed, and this love and affirmation is made real to us in Christ. In this fifth key, we open ourselves to hear this affirmation from God's heart.
I want to share a follow up to my Unbound prayer session from July. It was incredible and throughout this past month and a half I keep having new revelations every day! I have continued to use the five keys as they have been needed.
The day after my prayer session I woke up to the monarch butterfly who had emerged from its chrysalis in my kids butterfly net! And I instantly could describe how I felt.... just like this butterfly, in my body with a new life and freedom, yet not knowing quite how to live in it yet or how to 'fly'. What a beautiful feeling and beautiful gift from God, this healing, this freedom in Christ.
And one more thought, to wake up every day with a joy and a hope and excitement for the day ahead. I honestly do not remember having this ever in my life! (I think I did when I was younger, like pre-school age) What a gift! Praise God!
And to see the gift that I am, how God made me and the self-hatred and self-doubt gone. When the self-doubt comes back, I can now renounce it in Jesus' name and then go to Him with my questions and for direction!
Seriously, this prayer session and Jesus' healing and God's intimate, infinite, unconditional love for me is just life changing!
I have found myself feeling like the women at the well must have felt and wanting to share my joy in the freedom in Christ with everyone.... with all my friends who have known me and the anxiety and panic and depression that I have fought for so long! And I share it with so many women I don't even know but meet!
I had shared this with someone this past weekend at the Damascus' Women's Retreat. And I wanted to let you know what incredible miraculous healing this is! I had tried on my own for so long and then with God but still doing all the medical and therapy things and really Jesus needed to cast out the spirits/demons and just heal right there and I needed to be open and ready and completely vulnerable and completely trusting and running to Him for healing as He is the source of all healing! I don't know if I ever really contemplated the reality of demons being cast out and healing happening like in the gospels...it is happening today, let alone Jesus doing it for me! Wow! Jesus' LOVE, His desire and ability to heal, and the gratitude and praise for God for this cannot be expressed in words or even contained in my soul or my body!!!!
