Testimonies Good things are happening all the time!

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. "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!!!" 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!! Neil. November 2011
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! Hilary. November 2011.
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. Shona. March 2011.
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!"
SET FREE - WOW!!
CLOSER TO GOD
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 RELEASED FROM PAST GUILT "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
J.M CLEANSING STREAM......BEEN THERE, DONE THAT! OH YEAH!!! "No way, never! The only way you will go through Cleansing Stream and say 'been there, done that' it to: sign up, sleep through the videos, don't listen to the tapes, don't read anything they tell you to, don't pray or participate at all. Oh! Almost forgot, remember to keep the Counsellor, the Comforter at arms length and make Him know He is not welcome. Then you'll be SAFE! SAFE to carry the labels, the hurts, the fears the yokes you've grown accustomed to . The yokes the enemy loves us to think are just part of life. In an nutshell, Cleansing Stream is about transferring yokes. Jesus invites us to choose: 'Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light'. (Matt 11:28,29) If I have joy and peace it is clear what choice I have made. If not, then how am I going to respond to Jesus' invitation? Jesus warns us about 'the thief who comes only to steal and kill and destroy;'! God the Son says:- 'I have come so that you may have life in all its fullness!' (John 10:1) If your yoke is heavy, get into your spiritual togs! The water is warm, the Holy Spirit is very gentle. Go ahead - ask anyone who has been through this stream - the only regret I hear is, 'I wish I had done is more thoroughly'. But we are all on a journey on the same path. As we get closer to Him we shrug off worldly yokes. Each time our burden becomes easier, each time we live more fully. Cleansing Stream helps us all get rid of heaps of yokes. The liberation is amazing, but then; God is Amazing, isn't he?" J.P |
