"The ministry of Cleansing Stream has played a very significant role in the lives of many people in our Church. Testimonies include a complete turn around through to being set free and transformed as a result of a commitment to the disciplines and teachings covered on the course. I recommend Cleansing Streams as a resource to assist believers to stay free in Christ." Paul de Jong, Senior Pastor LIFE

"Cleansing Stream is part of our Ministry Training College course. The students consistently say it is one of the highlights of the year. We recommend Cleansing Stream to all our church members and after each course we always hear stories of the amazing work the Holy Spirit did to set them free from the past." Luke Brough, Senior Minister Elim Christian Centre

“Many people have benefited from this seminar. Lives have been radically changed. A marriage was transformed. I would recommend the course to anyone or any church. It is a great seminar with excellent teaching and material.” Tak Bhana, Senior Pastor ChurchUnlimited

Faith City church Wanganui has been involved with the Cleansing Stream Ministry since its inception in New Zealand in 1999. The Cleansing Stream Ministry has helped developed some of our leaders to minister with confidence in areas of rejection, abuse in any form and in the areas of deliverance from bondages and demonic oppression. I commend the Cleansing Stream Ministry to any Pastor and or Church looking to develop their people to minister in the power of the Holy Spirit, with understanding and sensitivity into the lives of people, and the problems they face in today’s society. Iliafi Esera, Senior Minister Faith City Church

“For a long time we have looked for a course that was both biblically sound and could also give people practical tools to use to achieve freedom and to be able to minister to them individually, in a safe environment. We believe Cleansing Stream achieves this. In a large church, we have had to find an effective way to help people become free from bondages of the past and break the strongholds that have kept them bound, and to see people walk in the full authority they can have as through Jesus Christ. Cleansing Stream is now an integral part of the ministry we offer our people and the life changing testimonies we hear after every course are both numerous and compelling.” Sharon Bohane, Pastor, Care & Counselling Team Leader LIFE

As a pastor I would say that Cleansing Stream is an essential part of church life. Since the retreat this year we have found a marked increase in freedom during Sunday morning worship, a greater desire for people to testify and operate in the gifts of the Spirit. Awesome.
Bob Sinclair, Pastor

"I was totally surprised by God when I received a miracle of healing. The last session that still had to be addressed was the area of Freemasonry. I knew there were generations of involvement in Freemasonry on both sides of my family line. When I went for prayer I explained to the couple praying for me, my family history, and that I felt strongly the asthma, which I had, was a result of a curse in this area. I received prayer and was totally amazed and blown away when I was physically delivered of this thing that hissed out of my mouth and lungs!!!"
"I have not used my Ventolin inhaler since that time or taken the daily preventative. I am so grateful to God for His powerful touch and to wake each morning to be able to breathe freely is a wonderful gift."
Senior Pastor, Church in New Plymouth

“In 45 years as a counsellor I have never come across anything as good as the Cleansing Stream programme to help people grow and give them freedom in their Christian walk.”
Don Fraser, Pastor Richmond Community Church

"As a local Church Senior Pastor I would be very happy to endorse the ministry of Cleansing Stream. When this ministry was first introduced to New Zealand in the Late 90's I went along with a real sense of apprehension as to what was being presented. The course at that time was presented under a very condensed timetable. However I was both challenged and blessed by the event. Since then we have continued to operate the program in our local church and can certainly testify to it's effectiveness in the lives of people. It is a well balance program and would be a very useful tool to be included into a churches regular schedule. The local church is certainly honoured and respected."
Yours in the Masters service
Pastor  Alex J Larsen - Senior Pastor, Manurewa Assembly of God.

"We have been running the Cleansing Stream course at our church for over 5 years now, and we have seen many people set free from many different problems in their lives. I am personally passionate about what is offered here as it is done in such a sensitive, loving and safe environment, and I am confident my people will be respected and helped. One comment that came to me was that "This is the most need- meeting ,healing and fulfilling conference that I have ever been to".
May the Lord continue to Bless this wonderful work

BLOWN OUT OF THE WATER!

So I went to the Cleansing Stream Retreat over the weekend of the 11th and 12th of November. And I can honestly say that even though I had an expectation, I was totally blown out of the water with what God was doing over the weekend. There were areas that I didn't even know could be a problem for me spiritually, but I am glad to report that I am now experiencing tremendous freedom in these areas. The open session at the end sealed up what God wanted to do for me. The spirit of Unbelief was cast out and silenced once and for all. I could literally rave on for hours about how awesome this course and retreat is, but I'll spare the reader that. In short if you are searching for answers to some of the more complex issues in Christianity for example “How to hear God’s voice” And How to receive deliverance and be totally freed from all bondage, then this is the course for you. This course will not only answer these questions, but will teach you practical, Biblical steps to gain the Freedom that our Lord Jesus Christ died for. My thanks goes first and foremost to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and then to all the Anointers and Intercessors and all the other Cleansing Stream staff who are just amazing people who love the Lord and want to help out. If I could rate Cleansing Stream on a scale of 1 – 10 it is a perfect 10 Hands Down!!

FREEDOM IN THE NAME OF JESUS

Prior to Cleansing Stream I would sing lyrics like 'There is freedom in the name of Jesus, freedom from all pain …’ I never fully felt that those lyrics applied to me. I had not experienced that freedom. I had been in a relationship with a guy who was really abusive, the relationship lasted only a little more than a month but it did some serious damage. A while ago I was talking to someone who said that they found it difficult to live with me because I was sad all the time. That was so true. I was sad all the time. I thought it was normal.

There were lies being spoken into my mind as the enemy played with my painful memories of what I had done, I remember lying on my bed wishing it would all go away.

When Cleansing Stream rolled around at church, I jumped at it. I had heard of really awesome stuff that had happened from some friends that had done it. The teaching in the sessions were really inspiring. They taught me some stuff that was really revelational. They seem to be basic principles that are taught. That's actually a really good thing. It means that you can apply them to circumstances in your life.

The retreat that was amazing. I experienced some of the most amazing breaking of chains. When I was able to forgive that guy for what he had done and myself for what had happened I experienced this surge of freedom and joy. It was amazing, I went out into the foyer which had it's doors shut off from the main auditorium. There was one woman out there and I asked her "do you mind if I celebrate?" She said "Go for it!". I was dancing and whooping without restraint, I was feeling joy of the same level that I felt the night I accepted Jesus. There was a whole heap of stuff that I didn't know I carried with me and God broke those off me. The first night when I went home, there was such a presence of God in my room that I could barely sleep, my heart was so light that I didn't play music, I just sat in His presence.

At this time there are some difficult circumstances in my life, had I not gone I would not be coping.  I no longer am oppressed by the schemes of the enemy, I am not perfect, there are still temptations and chances for things to go wrong. But there is a difference. I am walking with purpose and I can see the schemes of the enemy for what they are, lies. I have been given tools and freedom for my journey!

FREE FROM GENERATIONAL HISTORY

In the last five years I have been walking a healing journey and Cleansing Stream has had a huge part in that. I have completed two regional retreats and have just completed the Call to Freedom retreat in March. For the first time in my life, I feel free. I have been a committed Christian for twenty years, but have never walked in the freedom that the Bible talks about until now.

I feel truly born again and am seeing the transforming power of God at work in my life. Thank you to all who serve God is this ministry. It should be a pre-requisite for every one to do. I certainly did not know all of my past generational history and was surprised at stuff that was broken off. I now see the repeated struggles in my children and know that God will do a good work in their lives too.

FREE FROM MIGRAINES AND ADDICTIONS

"My biological father was a heroin addict and dealer.  I only remember seeing him once as he spent a lot of time in jail.  When I was six he died in a motorbike accident (the police suspected a suicide). 

My mother, a young, single mother of three, had become a Christian and raised us believing in God through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  When I was about eleven, Mum (who I now realize had battled depression all her life) developed an addiction to codeine. She would drink cough mixture out of the bottle. Codeine has a strong sedative effect so Mum would sleep most of the time. We 'lost' her to that addiction. We were raised under poverty and neglect.  

I developed a hatred for Mum for the neglect and all the things that go along with being raised in a family of substance abuse. I would like to point out that codeine is a derivative morphine! Morphine is a derivative of heroin and heroin, a derivative of opium. So it is a highly addictive and powerful painkiller and sedative.

From the time I was 27, I started to suffer severe migraines, sometimes I would wake up vomiting with them.  They became more and more frequent and debilitating.  I went for many tests to try to uncover the cause of these terrible headaches. I did research on them and changed my diet trying to combat them.  I had been to various doctors and tried various prescriptions specifically for migraine headaches.  Nothing seemed to work except for tablets I could get over the counter- they were codeine painkillers!  

Over the last ten years I have taken 1000's of them, they became less effective and I had to take more and more to prevent my headaches from overtaking my life. The irony about codeine is that one of the side effects of codeine is.... headaches- so there is a trap that satan has set for people right there. I was becoming what I had vowed to never become... like my mother.... a sedated addict.

I attended Cleansing Stream course and retreat in 2010.  From the first time I went up for prayer at the retreat, the anointer's felt that the root of my problems went back to freemasonry. There are really strong freemason curses in my family because of my grandfather and great grandfather’s extensive involvement. Of these curses I suffered from depression, anxiety, addiction, lust and migraines. The last session of the retreat, where we dealt with the topic of freemasonry was the toughest for me. Do NOT underestimate this horrible curse!

It has been over six months now and I can’t remember when last I had a migraine. I had got to the stage where I would wake up relieved on the odd occasion that I didn't have a headache.  I had learned to live with them. Now I am free!  Free of migraines, free of addiction, free of the horrible curses of freemasonry.  Thank you Cleansing Stream, thank you Jesus Christ!"
P.S.

SET FREE - WOW!!
"I just wanted to say a big thanks to Cleansing Stream and all the team involved in this ministry.  I just attended your retreat and have found a freedom in God I have never known ever.  I have been a victim of abuse that has had an effect on every area of my life, it was sexual, physical and emotional and I have been wrapped up in chains for most of my life.  I didn’t ever think I would break free completely but thanks to Cleansing Stream I have.
When I began the course my goal written in my book was for my past to stop affecting my future and It truly has. I have walked around with a rage inside that I didn’t know how to handle. I had been robbed of the joy of motherhood and lived a lot of my life in alcohol addiction.  God called me back to himself in 2009 and the work He has done in me since has truly been amazing.  We serve an awesome God who continues to love us even when we don’t deserve it!
The rage has gone, the feelings of not being good enough, of being a failure, of being insignificant and feeling unloved have all gone.  I know my God loves me and for the first time I am able to say I love me and that I am worthy of God’s love and more beautiful than that I am able to love my children as they deserve, without the rage, without anger.  
God has truly set this captive free and I have been praising Him ever since.  All glory goes to Him...Thank you Father for setting me free, for loving me and for letting me know it is okay to be me!!!  Thank you Cleansing Stream and I pray God’s continual blessing in this wonderful ministry."

FELT SO FREE!
I went with expectation and wow I got blessed, healed, delivered and feel so free.  To think that this is just the beginning of a new life and journey. Love the idea of God taking care of my future.  It was so great to be with people who were there for my good and help.  What a life I will have. Put God first in everything that we do and wow. I have so much joy and a passion for God and this ministry. Thank you each and every one who was there for my good. Going home to work on my poster to remind me each day and apply all the healing and to learn to stay in line with God’s plan for me. Thank you to all that was there.

CLOSER TO GOD
"I was a participant at the Auckland Retreat. I have been set totally free from all bondage, drugs, fear, rejection and inferiority, just to name a few. Over the weekend I felt the Lord break through in several areas of my life. I now feel closer to God than I have ever felt before. Thank you God and thank you Cleansing Stream Ministries!"
Joshua Churchill

I'M FREE, I'M FREE
"Just a note about Cleansing Stream, it was pretty awesome and God healed me deep inside. Thank you for your encouragement to attend. I took a step of faith to attend the seminar and 'look what the Lord had done ...... my heart is bursting Lord ...... you've wiped away my past, and now I know that God is for me, not against me!!" One of the things God miraculously changed was; I'd always struggled with trying to be convinced that God really loved me. Now I know, I know, I know; and I'm free, I'm free, I'm free. Only he can do that! Thanks again."
Elizabeth

A POWERFUL LEARNING AND LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE.

"Participation in the Cleansing Stream Ministry was, for me, a powerful learning and life-changing experience. To be able to steadily and thoroughly expose and deal with the sins and shortcomings in my life and the guilt and shame that accompanies them has been tremendously healing and liberating. This process also helped to uncover the lies that satan has fed me over the years and helped dispel the warped view I have had of myself. I now have a much cleaner and deeper understanding of the love that God has for me. It is now my desire to learn to recognise, pull down and destroy that I have erected in my mind to protect and justify certain beliefs and behaviours that I had display. I praise the Lord

R.M

IT WAS TRULY AWESOME TO ATTEND BOTH PRAYER RETREATS...
"It is my choice to forgive and that if I don't, I am opposing myself and giving an opportunity to the enemy to gain a foothold to torment me. There were also other areas that I was significantly blessed and released in. I give thanks to the Lord for taking me into the Cleansing Stream. It was truly awesome to attend both Prayer Retreats in Auckland, to see the body of Christ function as a powerful and disciplined army of God. One of great authority over the evil one but also one of great love and blessing for one another. God's love is truly powerful and able to heal and deliver."
P.N

FREE OF FEAR
"The spirit of fear had taken over my life and I was unable to move forward. Since the Cleansing Stream Retreat I have been able to overcome the challenges that I have had to face. I give thanks and praise to God."
Lucy

RENEWED RELATIONSHIP
"Since doing the course the relationship between my wife and I has changed, we have come out of a great struggle and we see prosperity at home and the places in which we work. He has shown us how to relax and rest in His arms."
Narendra and Malthi

"I realised that I hadn’t forgiven people from my past, I still hated them for what they had done to me and I had guilt inside of me. During the Cleansing Stream Retreat I was released of all the things I was carrying. My God is great and He does great things."
Lucy

FIRST COURSE I HAVE EVER WANTED TO DO AGAIN!
"I cannot say that a great miracle came upon me during Cleansing Stream, and that I am now 'clean' from head to toe, but it gave me great insight into why Ii think like I do. One of the first scriptures I learnt was Romans 8:2 - "be transformed by the renewing of our mind." As often as I read or prayed these words nothing seemed to happen, but I now feel, with the teaching from Cleansing Stream, that God will be able to do some work in me, if I do my part. This is the first course I have ever wanted to do again - so I'm, repeating it in March."
L.Q

PRAISE GOD, I'M FREE

"Cleansing Streams has been a major break through in my life. It is impossible to convey in 5 minutes the depth of work God has done in me in the last week, but I hope I can impart at least some of His awesome power, grace and love. I have been a Christian for 10 years but I realise now that if I was saved, it was by the skin of my teeth and there was little fruit of the spirit to prove it. I struggled with anxieties and fears with physical pain in my joints and bones that was so distracting I couldn’t see God. I had a sense of hopelessness. Last week God touched me and made himself real to me for the first time. He healed my spirit, restored my soul and is in the process of healing my body. He came to set the captives free and that is exactly what He has done. There were a number of areas in my life that I had not given over to Him, things I held on to until the very end. That was my part to play, to release everything to His care and it came at a cost, but I can now tell you that the price

was nothing compared to the amazing peace, the gift of freedom I have received. Some areas are too personal for me to share in this place but there is one I would like to share with you. When I got saved at a healing meeting I felt that healing was or should be part of my salvation. My sense of frustration at this grew over the years until I struggled to believe God really cared or was even there. One of the pastors at this Cleansing Streams convention shared a picture with us and I wept with understanding. Jesus is lying at my feet, broken and bloodied and bruised for me. I stepped right over his broken body and said “Yes, but God if you really loved me you would heal me”. I trampled the blood of Jesus and said it wasn’t enough. I grieved the Holy Spirit and am ashamed to have even thought such a thing. But God forgave me and showed me his love so deeply that I could feel it, touch it, live it. He has justified my spirit, he is sanctifying my soul and my body is being changed from glory to glory. The stiffness in my joints has gone. I feel “loose” inside. The confusion in my mind has been replaced with absolute clarity. This has made tremendous changes not only in the way I see God but in the way I can relate to my dear husband. One day he will heal my body completely, whether that is in this life or in glory I cannot be sure, right now the realness of his presence in my life is all I desire. I never want to leave this place where he communes with me constantly. I never want to go back to my old life. I know that what he has given me is worth more than physical healing and until he chooses to fix this broken vessel, His love, His acceptance, His peace and His grace are sufficient for me."
