Jake & Bob are joined by their friends from Unbound Ministry, Neal and Matt Lozano. The conversation takes us through the journey of lifelong faith and how to spot the tactics used by the enemy in attempts to shake our foundations set in Christ. Neal and Matt share experiences from their relationships with Christ and their interpersonal relationships. They also share their system called the 5 Keys to Freedom, that helps to re-aim our sights back to the Father in times of trauma which leads to deeper healing. Key Points Discussion on the tactics used by the enemy & how evil spirits work primarily with deception. Acts of faith, such as renouncement, take away the weight of thoughts brought on by the enemy because of our inherent identity in Christ. Being able to identify the schemes of the devil are an essential part in implementing the 5 Keys to Freedom. The explanation of what it means to obtain deliverance. Working through the 5 Keys help to release you from the bondage in your life and to more fully see how Jesus is at work in you. Discussing how to seek God for revelation instead of blaming God for trauma and how that simple adjustment can contribute a great deal towards healing. The power that resentment has to control someone's life and how to break that connection through forgiveness.
