WHAT IS UNBOUND?

Unbound is a non-confrontational prayer model that uses the five Gospel keys of Repentance and Faith, Forgiveness, Renunciation, Authority, and The Father's Blessing to lead individuals who have faith in Jesus to experience Freedom in Christ. The approach places deliverance ministry in a loving, healing, and personal context.
 

WHAT'S THE BASIS FOR UNBOUND MINISTRY?

Jesus' Mission:

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captive and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed . . ." (Luke 4:18, based on Isaiah 61)

The Great Commandments:

The Great Commission:

Preach the Gospel, cast out unclean spirits, and heal the sick. (Mark 16:15-18)

The Lord's Prayer:  

Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, lead us not into temptation, and deliver us from evil.
 

Unbound ministry is aligned with all of these! It sets free those who are captive or "bound" to ungodly patterns of belief, thoughts and attitudes, unhealthy mindsets, deceptions, lies, and repeated sin, temptations, addictions, and actions—typically bringing inner healing and sometimes physical healing. It can bind up the broken-hearted. Unbound Team members serve from the heart out of love of God and love and compassion for our neighbors who come for ministry. The Five Keys of the Unbound prayer model are the Gospel in a nutshell. In conformity with the Lord's Prayer, Unbound ministry helps us forgive, overcome temptation, and be delivered from the influence of the evil one. It helps us conform to the will of God, because "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36), "the truth will set you free" (John 8:32), and "For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery [bondage]" (Galatians 5:1).   
 

WHAT DOES AN UNBOUND MINISTRY SESSION LOOK LIKE?

A typical Unbound ministry session is by appointment, in person (or sometimes via Zoom), free, and totally confidential, with two Unbound Team members listening, trusting the Holy Spirit to reveal the heart of the person coming for ministry. A session, in English or Spanish, is generally 1-1/2 to 2 hours long, beginning with a short opening prayer and listening to what's on the person's mind and heart now, as well as talking about important experiences and patterns in their life. Individuals are led through the Five Keys as means of helping them encounter Jesus, their deliverer, and to equip them for ongoing liberation. Unbound is a powerful prayer model but not a "once and done" approach that tries to uncover every bondage and heal every hurt in one session. There is some follow-up afterwards. And, once a person knows how Unbound works, they are encouraged to use it temselves on a regular basis to clear out unclean attitudes or patterns that arise in our everyday lives.
 

WHO NEEDS UNBOUND PRAYER?

We're all sinners who fall short of the glory of God, so we all need Unbound prayer. The Father wants each of us to be free in Christ and to know our identity and belonging in the Kingdom of God (knowing that Christ Jesus has won the victory over the kingdom of darkness). Many people coming for Unbound ministry have already tried to get healing or deliverance through their own prayers, intercessory prayer with friends or family members, and healing Masses, workshops, or services. Yet, the hindrances that held them were not broken or released to the full extent they hoped for, nor to the extent that they then experience through individual Unbound ministry. This explains why Unbound is now an active ministry on every continent, in numerous seminaries, and in the formation of some Catholic religious orders. It is now being used by many priests in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. It is for the worldwide Body of Christ, and it is a unifying ministry among the children of God.

HOW DO YOU LEARN ABOUT UNBOUND AND PREPARE TO RECEIVE PRAYER MINISTRY?

To learn about Unbound, It helps to attend an Unbound Freedom in Christ conference such as one presented at the Catholic Charismatic Center, at another location, or online. You can also explore the Heart of the Father website and blog, and/or read, watch, or listen to books or electronic media offered at the Heart of the Father online store.

To prepare for a personal session, you must read the first half (up to page 120) and scan pages 239-241of the book, UNBOUND: A Practical Guide to Deliverance, by Neal Lozano, or Liberado in Spanish. Reflect on your life as you read it. Once you have a good idea of what you'd like to bring to a ministry session, fill out a Request for Unbound Ministry, including a phone number where they can be reached for a screening call before scheduling. Ministry sessions are generally scheduled at least two weeks after being requested and being screened, to allow for good preparation and reflection time beforehand. Receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation before and after an individual Unbound session is also recommended for Catholics.

There are certain limitations on who the ministry can effectively serve, based on the composition of the Unbound Team as well as factors related to the individual requesting prayer. For example, there must be a male member of the Unbound Team available to pray with a man, and there must be a female member of the team available to pray with a woman. The recipient must be of Christian faith and have Christian support. No one can be coerced into getting Unbound prayer; it must be their own choice. There are also restrictions pertaining to minors, willingness to renounce occult involvement, serious language barriers, and serious mental illness. Therefore, that's why those wishing to schedule a session are asked to include on their Request a phone number where they can be reached for a screening call before scheduling. 

IS UNBOUND CATHOLIC?

The Lozano family is Roman Catholic, and they embrace unity in the Body of Christ. UNBOUND author Neal Lozano has also served as a leader of an intentional inter-denominational community where they live in Pennsylvania. Roman Catholic Bishops and Archbishops in the U.S. and in other countries have endorsed Unbound very enthusiastically.
