Freedom Ministries
Freedom ministries is a ministry of the Holy Spirit to set you free from any bondage or hindrance that could be preventing you from walking in the abundant life that Jesus promises in John 10:10. As a participant in any of Hosanna’s Freedom ministries, you will be encouraged, taught, and trained to be spiritual warriors so you are able to recognize the enemy and are equipped to boldly take a stand against his schemes. You will be taught how to draw close to God, grow in intimacy with Him, stand firm in His presence, grow in His grace, peace, joy love, faith, and hope, and establish His kingdom wherever you go.
Beauty for Ashes Workshop, a Freedom Ministry, will help you learn the Biblical basis for living life abundantly! Come and gain an understanding of Jesus’ healing ministry and how you can receive physical, emotional, spiritual and relational healing. Participants will experience the grace, power, and love of Jesus to be set free from bondages that have held them back from a vital and joy-filled life in Jesus. Some of these bondages may include fears, anxieties, anger, bitterness, depression, past hurts, rejection, addictions, worry, shame, guilt, self-condemnation, rebellion, pride, lists, perfectionism, constant illness, feelings of inferiority, feelings of unworthiness, loneliness, and abandonment. Learn how to keep the doors shut to the enemy’s torment and how to remain in Jesus’ love and protection.
