Unbound: A Model for Healing and Deliverance
“Picture a locked door. Opening that door represents liberation from spiritual bondage. This door has five locks, each requiring a key. As a believer in Christ, you have all the keys you need to be free from the influence of evil spirits” (Unbound, page 53).
Freedom is so fundamental to our humanity that we are told in Galatians 5:1b, “For freedom Christ has set us free.” It is through our union with Jesus the Son of God that we are restored to true freedom. “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (2 Corinthians 3:17).
The Holy Spirit is the love of God poured into our hearts. (Romans 5:5) He is the Spirit of the Lord; He is the life of God Himself, making His home in us. The Spirit of God brings us into an intimate relationship with our Father and restores us to full freedom.
“And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, ‘Abba! Father!’ So through God you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then an heir” (Galatians 4:6-7).
Because of sin, our parents, (even the best of parents) and many others have failed to represent the Father of love to us. The fruit of original sin causes us to identify more as a slave than as a child of God. We have areas of our lives that have yet to experience full liberation. Sin, bad habits, and bondage are doors the devil uses to tempt us to think and act as though we were still slaves.
Freedom is life in the Son of God. The Son has overcome every deception that we have believed about the Father who has always loved us, who has always been present, who has always blessed us.
Satan, seeking to rob, steal and destroy, poses as a counterfeit father. Jesus tells us that Satan is, “the father of lies” (John 8:44). We know that God’s Word has power because it comes from God. Deception has spiritual power as well because its source is a spiritual being, the devil who is a liar. Sin entered the world though one man and with sin came the great deception.
Deliverance is removing the power of lies so we can hear the voice of our Father that has always been calling us deep within. Knowing the Father through the Son takes us to freedom and healing.
The book, Unbound, A Practical Guide To Deliverance by Neal Lozano, teaches how to listen and respond in five key areas as you seek greater freedom and help others to do the same. Each key incorporates practical direction on how to respond to the grace that unlocks the door and sets us free.
