Hello Precious One!
Ever soaked in a bath tub or in a hot tub? You lay down in warm or hot water and let the
water relax body. Your body is in the
receiving mode, receiving the relaxation caused by the sustained influence of
the warm water. Sometimes people will
put on soft music to help with the relaxation process so they can go deeper in
state of relaxation. Some people put
oils in the water for fragrance and a greater ability to absorb the warm water
into a deeper place in their skin. The
longer you soak, the greater is the influence the water has on you.
There was a movement in the Body of Christ
about five to ten years back where people would soak in the presence and Love
of the Father. There would be “soaking”
nights. People would come together, turn
on mostly soft instrumental music and soak.
They would not read scriptures or pray with their minds, they would
simply soak in the outpouring of the Love of the Father. “God has poured out His Love into our hearts
by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given to us.” Romans 5:5.
I went to a soaking
class for two and half days before a Father Loves You Conference in
Toronto. They taught us to just sit or lie
down and receive the Love of the Father that was always being poured into our
hearts. We were just absorbing the
Father’s Love into the depths of our hearts!
We were putting ourselves under the influence of the Father’s Love to go
deep within us. We put ourselves in the
receiving mode. We would quiet our minds
and entire being down, so that the noise of the world was put a bay. “Be still and know that I am God.” Psalms 46:10.
Some people would
experience great visions and have powerful encounters with the Father through
the Holy Spirit, but others of us would not experience anything. Even though I rarely experienced anything
while soaking, I knew in the depths of my heart that the Truth of the
outpouring of His Love was being poured in and that the transformation was occurring
by Faith. I would not feel anything
most of the time, but I would see or sense greater power, anointing and
presence upon me later! So soaking never
seemed like a waste of time to me, even though I would not feel hardly
anything, but I would always see greater manifestations of the Spirit upon
me!!!!!!!
It seems like the
more I soak in His outpouring of His Love, the greater His presence fills
me! Now, there is like a craving inside
of me to spend time soak in His Love.
Sometimes, I even wonder if I am soaking too much with the neglect of
doing ministry. Most people think
soaking is a waste of time and say that you should be always doing something
concrete and physical. They are not
realizing that soaking in His Loving, all-powerful Presence is doing something concrete
and very practical.
Most of us live in
this state of mind that is very busy, active and many times, anxious. Soaking is training our minds and bodies to
quiet down and be still before our God and listen and receive from Him! The Spirit is always leading us if we will
quiet ourselves down to receive His guiding.
The Father is always speaking to us, Psalms 139:17-18, so we need to
quiet ourselves down to hear His voice.
If we are always
talking to God, if we are always speaking, and speaking and speaking, even if
it is the Word of God, we will not hear His voice as well, because we are not
listening. Ever spent time with someone
who would not stop talking? You cannot
get a word into the conversation because they are so busy talking!
MY HEART GREW HOT WITHIN ME, AND AS I MEDITATED, THE FIRE
BURNED; THEN I SPOKE WITH MY TONGUE.” Psalms 39:3
Jesus only did and said what He saw and heard His Father
doing and saying. In order to see and
hear the Father, Jesus had to be still, quiet himself down and look and listen
to the Father. We can do Christianity
in our best ability or we can soak and marinade ourselves in The Father’s
abilities and Love. The more we soak,
receive, absorb, in His outpouring of Love through the Holy Spirit, the more of
HIS Life and Love we will manifest in us!!!!!!! “Your Will be done on earth as it is in
heaven.” You want to manifest the
heavenly realms, then we devote ourselves to soaking in this realm which is the
greatest expression of the Father’s heart!!!!!!!!!
