TELL US MORE ABOUT FREEMASONRY " My father was a freemason but I've had prayer for that", This is a statement that is often heard by the counsellor. But…ARE YOU REALLY FREE? Sadly, the answer to that question is often in the negative. So…HOW CAN WE BE FREE? Sozo Ministries International have learnt that each oath taken by our forefathers is a binding curse, and that each oath needs to be individually severed from our lives. In the case of freemasonry and many other brotherhoods there are an overwhelming number of oaths, vows, secrets and ceremonial acts/mantles that need to be broken. ONCE SEVERED WE ARE FREE! This may, perhaps, sound a little "over the top" to some, but we feel that the testimonies contained in this booklet speak for themselves! Due to the delicate nature of the topic of freemasonry, the names of the testimony holders have been withheld. All testimonies contained within this booklet have been taken from our news sheets and mailbag.

AT THE NAME OF JESUS "I came to the freemasonry conference in November 2000 having had one of the most devastating years of my forty-two year life. Thoughts of killing myself had been coupled with memory loss and anguish in my soul. I was making life miserable for my wife, for my children, in fact for everyone. However, after sitting under the freemasonry ministry the change has been unbelievable! The heaviness in my soul has been replaced by a lightness and peacefulness, and some people, including my wife, have commented on how my "countenance is so much brighter". I have also been delivered of insomnia. Whereas previously I relied on drugs in order to sleep I am now able to sleep totally drugfree and am sleeping better now than when I was on drugs! I have suffered from leukaemia for the past 3 years but I am trusting that the Lord will heal me. God has also healed the relationship between my wife and I as a result of the conference. My wife's relationship with the Lord has also been restored and we are now able to pray together and break bread. I give all the glory to God and praise his name for bringing us into such freedom and life! Amen!"

SET FREE TO HAVE A BABY! "I've been a Christian for years with endless horrific things that have happened including having a hysterectomy. The hospital turned out to be a Masonic hospital. During the day I felt the Holy Spirit drawing my attention to things that have happened to my family, such as baby boys dying and a lot of the women having been messed up. I thought that being a Christian, freemasonry could not affect me. However I found that this was not the case and so I felt the need to attend the "Freedom from freemasonry conference". After the hysterectomy I went through dreadful grieving which pulled my spirit down. I came to the conclusion that the things that were happening in my life could be as the result of freemasonry. This led me to attend the "Freedom from freemasonry" conference in November 2000. A lot of things were broken on my life during the weekend and I firmly believe that God's going to give me children! Praise Him!"

SET FREE FROM THE SPIRIT OF DEATH "God has given me hope through Sozo! I attended the Freedom from freemasonry conference and was set free from the spirit of death. I can now think clearly, look forward and put the past behind me. I really believe I am now living in the present and it's wonderful! He restoreth my soul!" YOUNG GIRL HEALED OF ASTHMA! "For a few years I've had asthma and a sore throat. The doctor gave me an asthma pump, but I didn't like taking medicine all the time so my Mummy used to rub anointing oil onto my throat, and it worked a lot better than any medicine! I came to the freemasonry conference in November 2000. During the reading through of the 33 degrees we began to pray, and as we were praying my throat began to clear…and clear, and when I coughed it was all cleared up! I thank God for that!" HEALED OF HAYFEVER! “God has healed me of hay fever, which I've had for nearly 15 Years. This year I've had no symptoms, I've taken no medication and I feel great! I can smell the blossom and cut grass without getting itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezes or wheezes! The breakthrough came following the Freedom from Freemasonry Conference when I was set free from allergy and respiratory problems. The only word to describe it is a MIRACLE! HEALED OF BACK PAIN! "For about six years I have had a lot of pain in a ring around my body and across my stomach and lower back. When I woke up in the morning I was usually in pain across my lower back. I had been in hospital twice and at one point I was on six different kinds of medication at the same time. However on the last morning of the freemasonry conference, I was able to sit straight up from lying on my back, when usually I have to turn onto my side to get up! Usually my stomach is really firm and painful to touch but now it is quite soft and not sore at all!"

BABY BLESSING! "Having tried for a family for nine years my husband and I were saddened by a miscarriage in December 1998. The doctors could find no medical reason for our childlessness. During Christian counselling it was felt that freemasonry involvement on both sides of the family was significant. This led us to attend the "Freedom from freemasonry Day" in April 1999. During the day the curses of barrenness and related problems were broken over my wife and I. We found out shortly afterwards that my wife was pregnant and we are now enjoying our much prayed for baby. Praise God!"

SINUSES HEALED AFTER 20 YEARS! “I was so reluctant to attend the last Freedom from Freemasonry Conference and wasted a whole year fighting God, but in the end I recognised His gentle leading and attended, even though I had no known family involvement. The conference was not easy but an inner heaviness along with the pressure in my head left me! The infection in my sinuses slowly decreased and I can now breathe and sleep normally. Quite wonderful after 20 years of pain and infection!” HEALED OF M.E. & FAMILY DELIVERED! “I was healed of M.E. at the Freemasonry conference, I know it is gone! When we returned home our sons said they had felt terrific oppression, which coincided with the timing of the masonic ministry sessions. That night one son said he had slept well for the first time in years and that the sensation of a knife in his heart had also disappeared! He has felt at peace since and is praising God! The freedom we have is unbelievable. Thank you.” HEALED OF PARTIAL DEAFNESS "Following my deliverance from freemasonry, my 3 year old daughter has been healed of partial deafness in both ears."

GRADUAL HEALING OF THE SPINE "I attended the "Freedom from freemasonry" day in April 1999. Since then I have been experiencing gradual healing of a spinal injury suffered in a car accident several years ago. I have discovered that my pelvis is straightening and the back pain I have lived with for years is going! Praise the Lord!" AUTISTIC BOY RECEIVES DRAMATIC RELEASE! "Miraculously after the freemasonry conference last year we saw our son, who suffers with autism, have dramatic release from aggressive behaviour. My husband and I also received great release on the conference and a few weeks after the conference my husband got saved! We are now a lot closer in our relationship. More recently the Lord has been able to show me the beauty of nature and colours. He has also been showing me people who are bound with freemasonry and need to be set free, giving me a deep burden and love for them leading me to pray fervently. Through His Word, the Lord has been speaking to me as I have become much more spiritually released. Thank you to everyone." MEMORY IMPROVES "For the first time in my Christian walk I have been able to retain the Word of God. In the past I have usually forgotten all that I have read shortly after reading it! This is the fruit of being set free from ancestral freemasonry and is a real breakthrough in my walk with the Lord." WONDERFUL RELEASE "My wife and I were wonderfully released at the freemasonry conference in 1997, but we thank God that He witnessed to others of our need to be present at the April 1998 conference as well, in order to come into greater freedom. On seeking Him it witnessed in our hearts too. Amazingly, we were set free even more and we now know deep peace and rest in our spirits. We are rejoicing in the knowledge that He is in control and we want to glorify His name in every area of our lives!"

HUSBAND COMES TO SALVATION! "I came to the freemasonry conference as a struggling Christian. There were problems in my marriage and all of my children were rebellious and the family was dysfunctional. However after a lot of release on the day, I came home and prayed through every room in the house declaring that my family would be saved! The first thing to happen was I realised that I could retain Bible verses in my mind. Something I had always had great difficulty with. The second thing was that the children seemed a lot calmer. However the most amazing thing was concerning my husband. I had prayed for his salvation for years and had almost given up. But after the conference I had such faith, based on being able to understand the Bible better. I prayed for him and the family daily. Shortly after I came back off the conference he experienced what I can only describe as a "Damascus road" encounter with God. I believe God has truly freed this family from spiritual captivity. Praise the Lord!" SET FREE FROM DEPRESSION! "Ever since a child I had felt rejected by my parents, especially my father. He is a perfectionist and no matter what I did it never seemed good enough for him. I wasn't able to function with my own children properly and had also suffered really badly with depression, especially during my pregnancies. I had post natal depression and was referred to psychiatrists, put on drugs, hospitalised, received ECT and told that I would be on medication for a long time. I always knew that God was there but I never knew Him as my Father. I felt I was beyond help. During counsel it became clear that there were several curses operating over my life including poverty, insanity and suicide, all of which I frequently struggled with. These curses had come about through my father's involvement with the Order of the Buffaloes. Through prayer, the power of these curses over my life were broken and the rejection I felt, was dealt with. Now I cannot describe the joy I feel, all the inner pain is gone. I find myself smiling and laughing and I feel in control of my life. I am sleeping well with no more need for sleeping tablets! I can now play with, hug and love my children. During the week after receiving counsel my mother contacted me three times just to chat, this was unheard of. When I saw her she exclaimed that it was the best that she had ever seen me! My Dad hugged me and said that he was so glad that I was feeling better! My husband has commented that he has never seen me smile so much! God has blessed every area of our lives. I feel so different and wonderful, all the old fears have gone and I am enjoying God's presence in a new way. God is awesome!" 6

SET FREE FROM DEPRESSION, FEAR & REJECTION! “At the last Freedom from Freemasonry Conference I was set free from fear and shame of mental illness and a strong root of depression which has plagued me for 30 years. I was also set free from rejection and abandonment caused by family relationship problems. I feel blessed and free. God is so good.” RELATIONSHIP RESTORED WITH DAUGHTER "I came on the conference because of many years of sickness in my family, even though I wasn't aware of freemasonry being a part of my generational line. Consequently I now know great release in my spirit and feel as "light as a feather" with an inner assurance that I am free! I feel so blessed. A lot of fear has gone and I now realise how anxious I had been regarding my children. The next day my daughter phoned. We had had a broken relationship that had worsened over a long period of time. We were able to deeply forgive one another. This has gloriously blessed my husband and I. I never would have thought that I was so affected by freemasonry." GATES OF BRASS ARE BROKEN "The Lord had done so much in my life yet there were still issues that I struggled with daily. However the freemasonry ministry that I received in spring 1997 proved to be the key. Since specific curses were broken over my life I have experienced wonderful freedom. The mood swings which I had tried so hard to control have gone, and my soul has been truly restored. He has "broken the gates of brass"- the generational ties that have kept me bound to the past. Hallelujah!" CURSES BROKEN=BREAKTHROUGH "I attended one of your "Freedom from freemasonry" conferences in autumn 2000. I want to thank you sincerely for the thoroughness with which you and your team minister. My father was a mason and my deceased husband was in other brotherhoods. I have struggled for many years with sexual thoughts and got little headway. I lived "clean", and discerned carefully what I watched on TV. I was amazed to find that on the conference there were sexual curses being broken over me. With these curses broken I have received my break through. Thank you so much!" 7

TONGUE RELEASED TO TESTIFY! "I came to the freemasonry conference in November 2000 knowing that there was a very strong masonic link in my family. However I felt really neutral going through the renunciation of the curses and making declarations. I felt surprised at how relevant they were but how neutral I felt towards the situation. So when it came to the end of the evening on the Saturday night I decided that I wasn't prepared to leave the weekend without having things broken, one of which was the releasing my tongue. I was determined to breakthrough and on the last night when the generational vows of secrecy were broken over my life, it happened! The fact that the next day I was able to stand up and give a testimony to the whole room clearly showed that I had been set free! It was important for me to say in front of everyone that I do believe the Blood of Jesus has set me free, and set my family free. I want to thank Jesus and to say that there is victory in Jesus and victory at the cross!" BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT! "From the start of the freemasonry ministry I really struggled with my concentration and reading the words out loud. By the afternoon when repeating the opening prayers I had no problems whatsoever. Suddenly without warning, I started to speak in tongues! I felt myself inhale and I was baptised in the Holy Spirit! I had wanted to speak in tongues for so long but couldn't, no matter how hard I prayed. Also, I've always had the belief that I was named after a cousin who drowned. I too nearly drowned as a child and since then reacted badly to water over my head; even washing my hair made me gasp for air. This fear has now gone! I have also always struggled to get up in the morning, my eyes often seemed glazed, but praise God my eyes are now clear and bright!" SET FREE TO WORSHIP GOD "I have had so many, many struggles in my life. Since a teenager everytime I had been in church I struggled to stay there and struggled to worship God. I attended the freemasonry conference in Leicestershire in November 2000, and for the first evening felt exactly the same. However after going through the renunciations I now feel so different! I feel free to worship God! Praise his Name!"

"I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN BORN AGAIN, AGAIN!" "My husband and I came on the "Freedom from freemasonry" conference and we saw so many changes in just 48 hours. My husband's looks have visibly changed and he has started walking in a new authority. I feel like I've been born again, again! We both feel so clean and our minds are clearer. I've come back from the conference knowing God as Father and we both feel free and lighter. We have so much more peace and a deep desire to worship Him and get into the Word." IT'S ALL BEHIND ME NOW! "I've been a freemason for twelve years. Although I have been prayed for before, the depth that you went into on the conference was extraordinary. The effect that it had on me meant that there was a lot of things that I thought had been dealt with but hadn't been addressed. But praise God that's all behind me now! From my twelve years experience as a mason the accuracy of the things that were brought up at the conference were spot on, and things that I thought had been dealt with, just seemed to come to mind again so clearly. But praise the Lord it has all gone now!" "SCALES FELL FROM MY EYES" "Both my husband and I attended the "Freedom from freemasonry" conference in November 2000. I had received prayer for freemasonry before and assumed that was sufficient. But as we thoroughly renounced and repented of the various oaths made by our forefathers (and in my case my husband also), and forgave them their involvement, I experienced powerful deliverance. I was set free from M.E. and other physical manifestations brought about by the effects freemasonry in my life, and other negative spiritual influences. Also, during the Saturday morning session, I was reading from the overhead when something flew away from my eye. It was as though a contact lens had been propelled from my eye. I think that it must have been a scale being removed from my eye so that I could see the things of God more clearly! Praise and glory be to our Lord and thanks to you, our beloved brothers and sisters in Christ."

SPIRITUAL PARALYSIS GONE! "Following the "Freedom from freemasonry" conference the Lord showed me that my "spiritual paralysis" has gone! It's true! I can now read the Bible, whereas before I couldn't make head nor tail of it. Now it's clear and I want time to sit down and read it! My husband and I are thrilled. We found out that at the same time as we were renouncing all the oaths and having ministry to be set free, our two children were being delivered at home as well!"

"LIFE IS SIMPLY NOT THE SAME!" "In 1994 I became severely ill with M.E. I was unable to work and every little action was devastating to me. In February 1999 my wife and I came to the "Foundation of Wholeness" conference. Over the course of the conference I received a lot of things from God and there was a marked improvement in my health. During the conference it came to light that curses could come upon families where there has been an involvement in freemasonry. In my family my grandfather was a keen mason and my father, for a time, was a member of the order of the buffaloes. We discussed these issues with members of the team and as a result attended a "Freedom from freemasonry" conference in April 1999. The conference was an amazing time for my wife and I. Firstly I was able to drive us both down to Romsey (the longest car journey I had done in four and half years). Then the following day, the experience of repenting for and renouncing the sins of our forefathers, in line with Lev. 26:40-42, and declaring the truths, brought my wife and I yet more deliverance. I could see how so many of the things I have struggled with in my life had stemmed from the curses. Jesus broke the power of these curses on the cross and we can lay hold of this freedom in just the same way that we can claim any promise from God. Of most importance, perhaps, was that areas were brought to light where my wife and I have found it hard in our marriage. God has taken these areas and has brought us to an unparalleled time of closeness. To date my health has continued to improve and our lives are getting more and more sorted out. Life is simply not the same. Praise God!

BREATHING PROBLEMS GO IN THE NAME OF JESUS "I had problems breathing through my nose, especially during the night time. I had to use a nasal puffer in order to assist my breathing. However when I woke up on the last day of the freemasonry conference I realised that I could breathe a great deal easier through my nose. I just praise God and give him all the glory!" THOROUGH CLEANSING! "My husband and I attended the "Freedom from freemasonry" conference in November 2000. We are both qualified counsellors and have had a lot of spiritual "cleaning up". However I always felt that there was still something holding me. My husband and I had looked at both sides of our families, repented of each and every curse we felt had got a hold on our lives and had been constantly crying out to God, when the details of the freemasonry conference came through! Since the conference it is like a light has been switched on. There is clarity that wasn't present before and a new peace. The Lord's presence has been tangible! My husband has also felt the same freedom, just as a result of a change in our relationship. From a professional point of view he has been made aware that "just" deliverance is not enough for someone with freemasonry in their background and that the thoroughness and clarity of your conference is what is required in order to receive freedom." EYE PROBLEMS BROKEN IN FAMILY LINE! "My family have been released from many things following the freemasonry ministry. We have felt much freer in worship and witnessing. Eye problems, which have affected the previous three generations in our family line, have been broken! My son no longer wears glasses and his school work has improved." HUSBAND SAVED "On the way home from the "freemasonry" conference everything felt so different! A huge load had lifted off my family. My relationship with the Lord is deeper and I can hear Him clearly leading me. Our son has been so different too! Several weeks after we attended this day my husband got saved at a meeting and finally acknowledged Jesus as Lord with his hands lifted up to God." 11

HEALED OF HAYFEVER "I attended the "Freedom from freemasonry" conference in April 1999 suffering from a bad attack of hayfever. During the day we broke off the curses from the oaths of freemasonry in our family and asked for the forgiveness of our forefathers. After a while I realised that my symptoms had completely gone and I didn't pick up another handkerchief all day! I give the glory to God! Also my eldest daughter feels she now has a new energy. Praise you Lord! What a blessing it is to have a family on fire for the Lord and for all of us to be able to partake in such a day, a day which has already changed our lives."

"SET FREE FROM THE CURSE OF SECRECY" I attended the "freedom from freemasonry" conference in April 1999. Towards the end of the day Alan ministered on the links between Methodism and the Order of Rechabites. We started to pray and renounce generational involvement, when I suddenly realised that I was manifesting. One of the counsellors came to me, as it was clear that I was in a battle. Shortly afterwards I had some follow up counsel with Marion in which we prayed again about the Rechabites. My family background was Methodist but I had no knowledge of the Rechabites. We talked about me being a very private person and then the whole issue of trust, trusting others, sharing with others and confidentiality. We were seeking the Lord for wisdom when Marion said "I've got it". It is secrecy. All brotherhoods involve oaths of secrecy!" As soon as she said the word secrecy I started to cry in a way in which I am not familiar with; it was a real deep sobbing. Marion prayed and broke over me the yoke of bondage, generational secrecy through brotherhoods, took the noose off from around my neck and loosed my tongue. I know that inside something very very key has happened in my life and I am very different. I used to be a very silent person on a lot of issues, about myself, and about other people. There is a right place for silence and confidentiality and loyalty. But with me there was also a bondage in this area and also a real frustration in not being able to express myself - who I am and my feelings. The Lord has caused me to know the truth in the inward parts and I am free!

SET FREE FROM DUMBNESS "Since sitting under the freemasonry ministry my four year old, who was dumb, has been set free. She can now talk and hold a conversation on the telephone. There has also been a breakthrough with my other granddaughter whose speech has greatly improved. Praise God!" SET FREE "I went to the freemasonry conference in September 1999 believing that I had already been set free from the effects of freemasonry in my family line, but aware that there were possibly other generational curses which were affecting my life. During the ministry I felt God touch me when I was renouncing the curses of the order of rechabites and I experienced tremendous spiritual release. I was immediately able to worship God and talk to Him in a new way. The internal resistance and struggle (particularly in repenting, praying and obeying) which had characterised my Christian life, and which I never felt could be right, ceased. I felt so overjoyed. I was able to kneel during the worship and it felt like the most natural thing in the world, and as we sung about worshipping God with our whole heart, mind and soul, I felt I was really able to worship , for the first time. I left the conference knowing far more deeply than ever before that I am a new creation and free in Christ!" WIND OF GOD "The first miracle I received on the freemasonry conference was actually managing to get to the meeting! Up until that day I had only been able to read or speak continuously for a relatively short time so I had a few concerns when I realised what was in store. However each time I felt that I was unable to draw another breath, the Lord seemed to give me another wind of strength. Even though the day was a struggle I felt I gained significant breakthrough and powerful release. Since then God has shown me unresolved areas of hurt and rejection and I have come to a position to start dealing with it through Him. Praise God!" ANGRY AT THE DEVIL "I'm so excited! It was my second attendance at the "Freedom from freemasonry" day and for the first time ever I was able to feel anger at the devil and his works, and also feel the greatness of our dear Lord and His power. What a turn around! Now I can feel the Lord's forgiveness and His love, and can take in His Word!" 13

TOTALLY FREE IN JESUS "Once I was told about the "Freedom from freemasonry" conference, I knew I had to be there. I have had deliverance ministry in the past but there has always been a question mark in my life. The conference was, to my delight, so thorough and it seemed like everything was covered and I now know that I am totally free in Christ. There is now no doubt in my mind or heart. The joy I felt at being delivered was overwhelming! Jesus Christ does indeed save us to the uttermost. There is nothing impossible to God!"

FREEDOM! "I have been a Christian for many years and had known for some times the dangers of freemasonry and received prayer for it at different times. For the first few years my Christian life had been fairly trouble free, that is until my father became a freemason. After this I struggled with poor self-esteem, self-loathing and depression. In recent years my brother has also joined the freemasons and since then we have had nothing but family conflicts with manipulation and control manifesting. After attending the freemasonry conference I realised the depths to which it can affect people's lives. During the conference I could hardly read the words and I felt a heavy pressure on my back as if someone was leaning heavily on me. As we continued to renounce things I felt the pressure lift and directly after the conference I began to feel lighter in my spirit. I now know that renouncing freemasonry in detail has released me from many curses including a struggle with finances. I have also been released from severe cellulitus, "mystery" viruses one of which I almost died of, irritable bowel syndrome and back and neck problems. I also believe that God has sorted out my eyesight and I won't need to go for further tests! I feel that God has released me from cursing and swearing and uncontrollable anger, which I had struggled with for years. I am so grateful to God!" "MY HUSBAND IS A CHANGED MAN" "Since the freemasonry ministry day back in April 1998 my husband is a changed man! The Word of God has come alive to him at last, and he understands it. He is also taking headship in the household, laying hands on people and the anointing flows." 14

READER DO YOU KNOW JESUS AND DO YOU HAVE THE ASSURANCE OF SALVATION? - NO! PRAY THIS PRAYER NOW. Father God, I acknowledge my sin before You and truly repent. I ask now for your forgiveness, believing that Jesus Christ went to the Cross for me, shedding his precious blood to save me from sin, sickness and death. I now receive my salvation as I acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ as my Saviour. Amen. If you have prayed this prayer, do please call and let us know. HOW HAS THIS BOOKLET LEFT YOU FEELING? We hope that you have been given hope by the testimonies in this book and rejoice with all those who have found a freedom and liberty, knowing that the consequences of being involved directly or indirectly with brotherhoods is finally dealt with through the Blood of Jesus Christ. If you know that this is an area where you or your family need ministry, or perhaps you know that the ministry you have already received has not been deep enough, we would encourage you to attend one of our "Freedom from freemasonry (and other brotherhoods) conferences. If you are unsure, but you know that you are not enjoying the fullness of God's blessing we would also advise you to come. They are held regularly at various venues so please call for details. DON'T KNOW OF ANY GENERATIONAL INVOLVEMENT? We have many testimonies of those who have attended 'just in case', so if you're not sure of your family background and/or this booklet has left you feeling uneasy we would also strongly suggest you attend.
