Learning about SOZO occurred when I was working with a woman who was
dealing with oppression and darkness. Many are deceived when they enter
into a spiritual realm that they have no business delving into.
Today we easily find mysticism, false teaching, divination, abuse of
spiritual gifts, and love of experience trumping the Word of God. When
you fall into this area the problem is that the spirit world will
deliver. Those seeking to be in the “presence of Jesus” will indeed find
themselves in the company of a entity but it will not be Jesus of the
Bible. Remember that “Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.” 2
Corinthians 11:14.
Satan is the prince of darkness and well-meaning Christians will fall
into the trap and deceitful workmen will also masquerade as “apostles
of Christ.” 2 Corinthians 11:13
There are so many who love the Lord and want to serve Him with all
their hearts but the way we do this is laid out in the Epistles to the
church in the New Testament. We also find many warnings of false
teachers in the scriptures.
When we read about Jesus as our shepherd and recognize ourselves as
the flock, it must be remembered that sheep are not very smart. They
need to be led. They often cannot discern the enemy among who are
clothed in sheepskin but inwardly are wolves. These wolves will be found
IN the church, they are among God’s people.
