THE STAY FREE PLAN

YOU'VE EXPERIENCED DELIVERANCE. NOW, HOW DO YOU STAY FREE?

​

Jesus didn't set you free so you could return to the very things He delivered you from. Freedom was never meant to be a temporary encounter. It was meant to become your way of life. But what happens after deliverance? How do you recognize the enemy's strategies, break destructive cycles, heal from trauma, and protect the freedom Jesus has restored?

​

In The Stay Free Plan, author and survivor leader Sula Lael shares biblical revelation, personal testimony, and practical, Holy Spirit-led strategies to help believers experience lasting transformation after deliverance.

​

Through Scripture, guided prayer prompts, personal reflection, and intentional planning, you'll learn how to:

  • Recognize the enemy's schemes and identify patterns that threaten your freedom.

  • Heal from trauma and overcome cycles of fear, shame, and self-sabotage.

  • Embrace self-love, forgiveness, and your identity and purpose in Christ.

  • Renew your mind through Scripture-based declarations.

  • Create a personalized Stay Free Plan with Jesus to navigate triggers, temptations, and life's challenges.

 

Deliverance is the beginning. Staying free is the journey. It's time to move beyond the moment of deliverance and learn to walk in lasting freedom, spiritual authority, and intimacy with Jesus Christ.

REVIEWS

“We run a safe house for sex trafficking victims, however we felt so ill equipped to serve victims as SRA. We wanted to be able to say yes, but didn't know how. We got connected with Sula and she came and trained our team in person. She did so amazing! From our prayer team, to our advocates, and even our male security team, were all so moved by the strategy that God has given Sula. She is an amazing trainer and she did such an amazing job engaging with our teams and even the questions they had. She brought the Holy Spirit into that training room and brought so much authority and peace into a space that can seem scary.  We have now been able to serve SRA victims and have been able to do that successfully due to Sula's training and support. I recommend her to any and all non-profits that want to start serving these vulnerable populations but where in the same spot we were and not knowing how to start.”
