Cleansing Stream University training is not only to prepare you to minister effectively to others whom the Lord places in your path, but also to teach you how to position your own heart before the Lord to allow Him to do a refining work in you.
It's as much a training in inner healing and deliverance as it is a discipleship program.
Course Modules
MODULE 1 - Intercession
CSU Module 1 prepares you to minister by addressing intimacy with the Lord, hearing the voice of God, prophetic and strategic intercession.
Session 1: Preparing to Minister
Presenter: Pastor Gary Howse
The purpose of this Cleansing Stream University training is not only to prepare you to minister effectively to others whom the Lord places in your path, but also to teach us how to position our own hearts before the Lord to allow Him to do a refining work in us.
As we look specifically at the purpose of this session, Preparing to Minister, we’ll focus on the importance of our own intimacy with the Father. To help us do that, we will look at three specific parts that contribute to a growing intimate relationship with God.
Session 2: How to Hear the Voice of God
Presenter: Bishop Joseph Garlington
The issue is not that God doesn’t speak, but that God DOES speak and people don’t notice that He is speaking. He speaks through dreams, pain, and a variety of other ways.
Session 3: Prophetic Intercession
Presenter: Pastor Seth Fawcett
As we look specifically at the purpose of this session, Prophetic Intercession, our foundation is that we are speaking what God sees, what God knows, and what God wants and desires for another person, so that they can then speak for themselves. Prophetic Intercession is a ministry of the Holy Spirit through us to other humans.
Session 4: Strategic Intercession
Presenter: Mary Ann Young
Strategic Intercession is a level of prayer and intercession which is often an untapped weapon of warfare but when tapped into, has amazing results in the Spirit realm with breakthrough, advancement of God’s Kingdom, and His blessings poured forth.
MODULE 2 - Basic Training
In this course students will get a detailed lesson on the importance of forgiveness, the heart of a servant, the name of Jesus and will better understand the power in the blood of Christ.
Session 1: The Power of Forgiveness
Presenter: Pastor Raymond Pettitt
For many of us, we know that forgiveness is important, but we tend to justify it according to our circumstances. Our desire for this session is to help us gain a greater understanding the power of forgiveness has on us as well as on those we choose to forgive. This session could be summed up in one sentence: Release them, and you will be set free.
Session 2: The Heart of a Servant
Presenter: Pastor Chris Hayward
To have the heart of a servant as Scripture commands, it definitely takes leaning on the Holy Spirit. The heart of this message is that we apply this in all areas of ministry with which God gives us opportunity. It means we must be determined and intentional to lean on Jesus to develop a lifestyle of servanthood.
Session 3: The Name of Jesus
Presenter: Pastor Sharon DeBoer
The word “Christian” means “Christ-one.” The disciples were identified as being a Christ One, identified with Jesus Christ. As a Christian, you are identified with God, because you believe in the name of Jesus, and His nature and character are to become part of who you are. You are a Christ One.
Session 4: The Blood
Presenter: Pastor Ray Beeson
The topic of the blood of Jesus helps us understand the depth of God’s love for humanity. When we come to Christ, it is important for us to understand that we enter into an agreement with Christ. An agreement that is covenant based, meaning one that is not to be broken. As we begin to understand the depths of what is given to us through the blood of Jesus, His blood covenant with us, we gain a new, valuable insight into the eternal gift of salvation God has provided for us.
MODULE 3 - Intermediate Training
CSU Module 3 arms you with needed information as to how to discern entry points to demonic influence and helps identify interference to healing. The final lesson models listening to the Lord while ministering to a person during team prayer.
Session 1: Blockages and Entry Points
Presenter: Pastor Randy Garvey
A believer can open doors and give the demonic access and a right to operate in their life, through demonic entry points. A believer can also close these doors through acknowledging the truth, repentance, deliverance. During this session, we will take a look at the 7 most common demonic entry points to help us recognize the symptoms or blockages that may be there, not allowing deliverance and freedom to take place.
Session 2: Inner Vows and Bitter-Root Judgements
Presenter: Pastor Sharon DeBoer
Our enemy’s plan and desire is to steal, kill, and destroy our lives (John 10:10). He is subtle and crafty in setting up experiences that bring hurt and pain for the purpose of getting us to come into agreement with his lies, which will then lead us to form inner vows. Inner Vows imprison us to act and think exactly in the way those vows have set the mold for us.
Session 3: Team Prayer
Presenter: Pastor Chris Hayward
God has given us a mandate to be burden-bearers and to come alongside others to encourage, support, and pray with in order to see broken hearts healed and strongholds broken. That is our hearts desire, but oftentimes, we are at a loss to know how to do this or where to start.
Session 4: The Power of the Blessing
Presenter: Pastor Kerry Kirkwood
Blessing in Scripture is much more than favor and accumulating of material things. From a biblical position, blessing is simply seeing, speaking, and living from the perspective of God.
MODULE 4 - Advanced Training
This advanced module will prepare the student with the understanding on how to deal with the pervasive religious spirit and how to break down strongholds. It also cuts through the confusion between sin, transgression, and iniquity. It then concludes with how to sustain spiritual breakthrough.
Session 1: The Religious Spirit
Presenter: Pastor Chris Hayward
One of the most formidable attacks upon the believer is the religious spirit. It is pervasive throughout the church and is at the heart of all division and strife. This teaching provides a framework of understanding on just how it manipulates and finds its way into our lives. It also teaches us how to stop it’s advance.
Session 2: Breaking Down Strongholds
Presenter: Pastor Chris Hayward
What is a stronghold, and how does it get established in our lives? This teaching shows us how we can, with God’s weapons, uncover and break down strongholds in our lives. It also teaches its nature and make-up. The solution might surprise you.
In the study the student will discover the unique role that worship plays in both the building and tearing down of strongholds.
Session 3: Sin, Transgressions, and Iniquity
Presenter: Pastor Michelle Holverson
Many Christians are confused about the difference between these three words. However, understanding their unique qualities will help the student in their walk with the Lord.
Our life mission as believers is to stay determined to stay on the path of The Way with the Holy Spirit’s help. But if we stumble, cross the line, veer off the path or walk a crooked path, …. There is no sin or transgression that Christ cannot forgive and no iniquity that Christ can not heal and transform.
That is really really GOOD NEWS!!!!!
Session 4: Feeding Your Freedom
Presenter: Pastor Terry Inman
God warned the ancient prophets about incomplete or superficial healing. “They have healed the wound of my people lightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace.” (Jer. 6.14 ESV)
In this case the people were slightly relieved of symptoms and told they now had peace or shalom (wholeness or wellness). But in fact because they had not fully experienced true repentance (a change of thinking and behaving) their healing was superficial, temporal and incomplete. This topic is about “How to sustain our spiritual breakthrough”.
