Cleansing Stream : Part 2


Desiring a Deeper Walk with God!
Do you desire a deeper walk with God? What will it take for me to have a deeper walk with God?
Are these questions you have or have thought about? I have many times. Often times there are reasons why we struggle to have that desired relationship with our Heavenly Father. We all struggle or have struggled with this at some point in our life. Things that hinder us and cause our struggling surround us daily. There are many tempting things and people in our path. All of us at some point struggle with some kind of sin. Fron sinful lusts, lies, unforgiving, hatred, alcoholism, rejection and so much more.
Unfortunately, some can be there unseen, some are there just because we dont know what to do or how to get rid of them. We may also be unwilling to release them. Fear of how to release them overwhelms, fear of others seeing your struggles, fear of the unknown and unseen. Fear of doing things Gods way and surrendering to him. WE all have faced this at some point in our life and some are facing it now.
Is cleansing stream really for you? Well if you read the first part post on Cleansing Stream then you should of taken time to answer the questions at the bottom. If you havent, I encourage you to do so before you go on. Allow me to take a moment to give you in depth information about the Cleansing Stream Courses.
What is Cleansing Stream? Cleansing Stream is a discipling ministry designed to help you on your walk with Christ and life in general. WE learn to do things Gods way, Understand His ways, We learn to Surrender All to God, Guard our inner being, Make good choices in life, Speak Positive words to our self and to others, We learn to love our self and others, We learn to see our lifes walk through His eyes and not our own. We learn to master the Do's & Don'ts of life. We also learn to be supportive of eachother and more understanding towards others and things that happen. We become stronger and grow closer to God. WE gain more of an understanding of what our life should be through Christ.
The only way this can be possible for anyone, is to be committed 100% to God, doing what it takes to allow His will for your life and willing to surrender EVERYTHING!
First Steps: We begin Cleansing Stream Courses with class time. In the course you will purchase a learning kit which consists of a Big Binder of information including a Workbook that covers every topic discussed in the course. You will also receive a few different books to read along with your class time.
You will watch several DVD's of different speakers on different topics, your leader will cover different topics as well, I encourage you to take notes during each session. There will be time to share, time of class prayer, individual prayer and prayer for each other.
(In the class prayer time, this will be the only allotted time for deep intercession -- Not always is there deep intercession and MOSTof the time it is encouraged to have those needing deep intercession to stay after class for certain individuals to pray with the individual. Thus avoiding any confusion and frightening those who don't understand the intercession.)
There will be encouraged activities through the week for you to do (many of which are in your own home, between you and the Father), Prayers you will need to say daily and know in your spirit, There will be lots of BIBLE reading covered through all of Cleansing Stream.
If you miss any class it required to make it up. You can make it up on your own time or before the next scheduled class meeting.
What to expect during the courses? You should expect anything to happen! Always come in with an expecting attitude!
If you come in expecting a breakthrough from the Lord. You should be ready to receive it then.
Expect, Expect, Expect!
If you come in with a poor attitude expecting NOTHING that is exactly what you will walk away with. NOTHING!
If you come in Nervous about what will happen, but willing to allow God to minister to you through others, you will walk out with a new understanding.
If you are not willing to commit and you are not willing to surrender then you have honestly wasted your time and money and the time of others!
What about what others have said about Cleansing Stream? Anyone that has taken Cleansing Stream is going to have their own opinion. Good or Bad. The truth is everyone will experience things in their own ways. What someone else went through and experienced I guarantee that you will experience something else. No one experiences things in the same way. Research is good and can also be bad. There are many that have had bad experiences. There are many that have had great experiences.
When you go through the courses: I am not gonna lie to ya, You will go through times of struggles, times of doubt, times of resenting those in the class and those in your walk, yourself, taking the class in general.
You will experience first hand attacks from the enemy, you may become overwhelmed and eager to end this class, overwhelmed in Gods prescence eager to experience more, You will experience fear of the releasing, fear of making Decisions, You will have many positive moments and experience few negatives. All has to happen in order to purge you and your walk of the things exposed to you and in you. Just like an onion layered you will drop layers of things have clung to you through your life.
By the time all is finished and you have made it to the retreat you will be ready to shed the final layers and receive your release. Thus walking a way a new man and woman of Christ, In Christ, of God. You should fill refreshed and ready to start a newly cleansed walk.
Its ok to research but keep an open mind. What you have heard and what others have experienced is not what you will go through. Also keep in mind that because there is alot of training involved, if you see a leader not abiding by or you have heard of a leader not abiding by or following the layout required, It is best that you not join their course. Chances are you are going to experience things that probably are not going to be good. This course is not to frighten anyone but to encourage everyone and lead in Gods discipling.
Why is there a seminar and what is it for? Yes, there is a seminar. The seminar is the final step of the Cleansing Stream Courses. Everyone must join the seminar! Unless of course you dropped the class.
It is a weekend with God, Full of: Praise, Worship, Praying, Renewing, Releasing, Refreshing and Regrowing in Christ.
It is an unbelieveable event that no one wants to miss. All who participated in the courses will walk in to an auditorium or sanctuary lined with intercessors all around the room. From what we were told each time, This is a Time Set Seminar.
There is a schedule to keep for different reasons. (This is the way the Lord Presented the seminar to the Cleansing Stream Leaders.) Nothing can happen that has not been prepared for as the Lord handed the instructions out.
If you attend or attended a seminar where it was not time allotted and there may have been alot of yelling and screaming and what some have called barking, This is not the ordained seminar that was intended for all participants.
Most conferences start on a Fri evening and end on a Sunday afternoon.
As the seminar begins, there will be worship and individual prayer and time with the Lord. Then the confernece leader will come to the podium and begin with speaking engagements. Each engagement will be covered by sessions. Nothing will be covered together. Just as you take the class learning sessions by sessions. You will end the conference sessions by sessions. Each session will have an allotted time to cover. The speaker will speak his time and make an altar call after each session is covered.
To read more continue on to the conclusion.....
In the conclusion of Cleansing Stream, I will give more information on the seminar, the sessions and summarize the conclusion. I encourage any reader intrested in the Cleansing Stream to read each of my posts through and pray before making any sudden descisions.
I can not emphasize enough, If you are NOT WILLING, NOT 100 % Committed, NOT WILLING TO SURRENDER ALL, This course and seminar is not for you. IT will do nothing for you!
