Open Doors: Conversations with Heart of the Father
Open Doors is a conversation about inviting God’s love, presence, and power into our hearts. We are friends and teammates from Heart of the Father Ministries who share in the mission of setting captive hearts free through Unbound ministry. We’ll be touching on the impact of Neal Lozano’s book, Unbound, and hearing stories of lives changed through Unbound ministry. At times we’ll dig deep into the Five Keys of Unbound, simple responses to the gospel with profound impact on hearts and lives. Join us for stories, insights, reflections, and prayer as we seek Him together! Learn more at www.heartofthefather.com. Music by Christian Harper. Artwork by Rosemary Strohm at Command-S.
Open Doors: Conversations with Heart of the Father
I Take Authority in the Name of Jesus with Jenn Lozano, Lisa Livezey, and Jacqueline Harper
What does it mean to have authority in Jesus’ name? Jenn hosts this sixth week of the Unbound Book Study series as we talk about the issue of authority.
In the book Unbound, Neal emphasizes that speaking words out loud is important. Jacqueline and Lisa share how they have exercised personal authority in the name of Jesus through prayer, and in speaking truth as parents. Authority exists because it has been given to someone.
Jacqueline speaks of a significant moment in her life when the power of the authority given through Christ allowed for something she could not do on her own.
Authority ties into the relationship that Jesus wants with us and His desire to heal. We see in Scripture that He heals people in a variety of ways. God’s ways are not ours and often He takes us on a long journey to teach us important things about the spiritual life as we pursue healing.
The episode concludes with a discussion about ways the church community can help in deliverance from bondage.
Warmup Question for chapter 7: When was the last time you felt truly seen, known and affirmed by someone and how did that experience impact you?
