Most people misunderstand deliverance. They think that it’s only for possessed individuals. It’s not. They think that it can only be done by a trained and appointed exorcist. Not true. Others believe that deliverance is something only for “charismatics,” or that it’s necessarily frightening. Absolutely unnecessary. Still others confuse deliverance with emotional or mental healing. Deliverance does closely align with healing. For the greatest healing of all is healing from sin and from its inevitable outcomes: misery, destruction, death. But deliverance is not the same thing as healing. Deliverance ministry simply addresses the reality of spiritual warfare in every human life. The devil’s evil influence ranges from temptation to harassment to oppression to possession. Yet Christians, while subject to the Satan’s constant opposition, can never be overpowered by the enemy; he can only gain power in their lives to the degree that they open doors to his work.

“Deliverance is a good word!"

–Neil Lozano, author of Unbound:

A Practical Guide to Deliverance

Basic Information Sheet

What is Unbound? Unbound Prayer applies the Gospel of Jesus to your story with

five simple keys. Unbound Ministry is an approach to

deliverance and healing prayer developed by Neal Lozano.

The focus of the Unbound model is on an individual as you

deeply listen to their story and heart. Unbound is a safe,

loving, effective prayer model that helps people to respond to

the good news of the gospel. Unbound teaches how to listen

and respond in Five Key areas as you seek greater freedom

and how to help others do the same. Each key incorporates

practical direction on how to respond to the grace that

unlocks the door and sets us free.

Who is Neal Lozano? Neal serves as the Executive Director of Heart of the Father

Ministries and the Unbound ministry efforts. Neal Lozano has

more that thirty years pastoral experience helping people find

freedom in Jesus Christ and holds a master’s degree in

religious education. He is the author of the best-selling

book, Unbound: A Practical Guide to Deliverance. He is an

international speaker and has spoken at various global

conferences. Neal holds a master’s degree in religious

education from Villanova University, where he has also led an

evangelistic outreach to students

Neal, a Roman Catholic, is also the senior coordinator of the

House of God’s Light, an interdenominational Christian

Community that he has pastored for thirty-five years.

What is Unbound-Michigan? Unbound-Michigan is a network of prayer ministers trained

in using Neal Lozano's five keys to freedom. Our mission is to

widen this network so that everyone in Michigan who wants

prayer for more freedom can receive it.

To this end, we share the message of liberation. We provide

simple training for everyone who hears this message–basic

spiritual first aid, so that they are equipped them to use the

five keys for themselves and others. We offer more in-depth

training for those who want to commit more seriously to this

mission of mercy, whether in collaboration with us or in

another setting. Finally, we work together with local parishes

and dioceses to develop local Unbound-Michigan teams.

Currently, we offer prayer ministry in lower Michigan almost

every day of the week. When we pray with people using the

five keys to freedom developed by Neal Lozano, we are

faithful to the Unbound model and follow the Lozanos'

guidelines for using the name "Unbound." We enjoy a

cooperative relationship with the Lozanos and Heart of the

Father ministries, and our leaders have received training from

them, but we are not official representatives or an arm of

their ministry.

Unbound-Michigan operates under the pastoral oversight of

the Catholic church and our members are primarily Catholics,

although we welcome cooperation with Christians of other

denominations.

eys? KEY 1- REPENTANCE & FAITH: Repent your sins and believe in Jesus. Turn away from your sins and trust Jesus with your

life. “The kingdom of God is near: repent and believe the good news!" –Mark 1:15

KEY 2- FORGIVENESS: Forgive others… and yourself. Forgive those who have hurt you and release them to God's merciful judgment. “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you your trespasses.” –Matthew 6:14

KEY 3- RENUNCIATION: Renounce the work of Satan, his influence in your life. Intentionally reject everything that blocks you from blessing. “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” –James 4:7

KEY 4– AUTHORITY: Stand in your authority as follower of Jesus and say “NO” to evil. “These signs will accompany those who believe … in my name they will cast out demons.” –Mark 16:17-19

KEY 5- THE FATHER’S BLESSING: Receive the Father’s blessing on your identity and destiny. Come home! “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us in Christ in the heavenly places … He destined us in love to be his sons and daughters!” –Ephesians1:3-5

• living in fear

• believing lies

• engaging in sin

• refusing to forgive

• forming unholy ties or attachments

• cutting off from community or rightful authority

• approaching the occult with fear or fascination.

• putting other things in place of God to give life meaning Deliverance ministry closes these doors and releases people to live freely, secure in their identity as God’s beloved children, dedicated to His purpose for their lives.

How does Satan gain power in our lives?

Deliverance is about belonging completely

to God and nothing else.

The LIVE FREE! conference presents the five keys to freedom as taught by Neal Lozano in Unbound: A Practical Guide to Deliverance. Participants not only receive teaching on each of the five keys to freedom, but also have the opportunity to pray through each one in short times of prayer ministry.

Unbound is a gentle, simple, yet powerful model of prayer ministry to help people overcome whatever blocks them from blessing: -sin patterns they can’t break -anger or sadness they can’t shake -inability to know the love of God and others -reactions and responses that get them nowhere

Unbound ministry is about freedom: freedom to be who we really are, freedom to live the life we were meant to live, freedom to know love and freedom to give love. Unbound is about belonging wholly to God and to nothing else.
