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 Gods idea and was a part of every church, but the rise of self-help programs and the idea of an individuals ability to change without Gods help edged the Church away from Gods 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 Gods plan in the lives of countless individuals. Thousands of lives have already been transformed. Bring the deliverance to your church.
