God's Cleansing Stream: Developing a Life-Changing Deliverance Ministry in Your Church

by Chris Hayward

God’s Cleansing Stream reveals exactly why every church needs a deliverance ministry and teaches both pastors and counselors how to put one to practical use. Deliverance was originally God’s idea and was part of every church, but the rise of self-help programs and the idea of an individual’s ability to change without God’s help edged the church away from God’s Word and power. Instead, deliverance came to be thought of as mere superstition. Now Chris Hayward provides tools for churches to reestablish this effective, proven ministry so that it can liberate captive souls and advance God’s plan in the lives of countless individuals. Over the past 30 years over one million lives have been transformed through Cleansing Stream International.

[Becca · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good knowledge for deliverance ministry and starting one in a church. A little commercial-y for Cleansing Stream Ministries (which seems have a really great basis at the time of the writing, and I do like that their model is communal in nature). The author doesn't elevate those who do deliverance ministries, and the focus is on confession of sin and giving glory to God v. glory to self. I didn't agree with everything, but I thought this was a good place to start.
