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, Transgression 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: 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.”

Will I be able to skip around the lessons/topics? That is will I be able to watch/listen to the topic that I’m most interested in at the time?
The participants receive greater understanding of the Lord, who He is and how to enhance their relationship with Him when the lessons are completed in the order presented. The topic/lessons are meant to be viewed/listened to and completed consecutively.
What do I get for completing the Seminar?
You will receive a certificate for completing all the Seminar video’s but remember you get out of this experience what you put into it.

If you are a student at Wagner University, please refer to your dean for further details.
Is there any benefit to taking the course more than once?
It has been our experience that those who take the course at least twice and who the second time around, allow the Holy Spirit to challenge them afresh the second time around (as compared to their first time) increase in their spiritual maturity.
Is the Cleansing Stream Retreat a part of the online course?
Event registration is separate. Please visit www.cleansingstream.org/events to register. Online and in-person events are available several times a year.
What do I benefit from taking Cleansing Stream University?
Cleansing Stream University (CSU) is meant for those who desire to go beyond personal healing and deliverance and be equipped for service. Most CSU students are invited to join a Cleansing Stream Discipleship (CSD) team after they have taken the entire Seminar once and participated in the Event twice and are recommended by their pastor/discipleship leader. CSU students not in a Cleansing Stream Discipleship (CSD) team who go through the Seminar twice and/or attend Event more than once find they are better prepared for what lies ahead.
What is a Cleansing Stream Discipleship Group?
Cleansing Stream International began as a discipleship ministry with the heart to equip individuals, families and communities with tools of healing, freedom and wholeness and that purpose remains today. Discipleship (CSD) teams are a gathering of Cleansing Stream Seminar alumnae at local churches that gather to continue being discipled, equipped and who welcome accountability. Just as Jesus spent time with the disciples He called; there is no substitute for being in a company of others as one receives ministry instruction. The people easily become a group of men and women who will stand with you in ministry and become part of the fabric of the local church that can serve the church’s prayer needs. Ultimately, CSD groups help us deal with our inevitable blind spots and encourage us to begin to practice and apply what we are learning before we serve at an event.
A CSD team is NOT meant to be an end unto itself (participation is for 1 to 2 years); and is not automatic once retreat and event are completed.
Since it’s a University, how long will it take for me to complete the courses?
CSU is named for University not because it is based on semester or quarter schedule but because it is a dynamic four module advanced ministry training program. It consists of four modules with each one having at least four sessions per module. On one’s own, the completion time would vary. As a CSD team, you may take one year to complete all four modules.
How may I serve while in Cleansing Stream University?
After successfully completing CSU Module 1, a student is eligible to serve as an Intercessor at a live-in person Event. After successfully serving as an intercessor twice, and successfully completing CSU Module 2, the student is eligible to serve as an Anointer at a live-in person Event.
What comes after Module 4?
Your training through Cleansing Stream University qualifies you, under pastoral approval, to serve in your church and in other locations at Cleansing Stream Events nationally and internationally. If you're interested in serving, contact us at: [email protected]
How can I support Cleansing Stream Ministries?
Support of Cleansing Stream International assists the work of Jesus Christ locally and throughout the world. Your gift, no matter the size, can help to transform lives that might never be touched.
