I was going through a very tough situation in my life for about 1 year, due to a huge trauma in my family. Then I came back from a 1 month Mission Trip to Thailand – totally exhausted physically, emotionally and spiritually. And everything was just spiraling down.
So, I decided that I will need to do some serious ‘going before the Lord’. So, I spent 2 weeks + 1.5 months in 10 hours Soaking session from 12am to 10am everyday. After 2 weeks, I regained my joy and after 2 months, I was in optimum shape physically, spiritually and emotionally. I am sharing my experience here.
What I did during my Soaking time, it was a combination of Soaking with music, prophetic words, reading the bible, declare & decree, spiritual warfare, intercession, resting and crying. Everyday, I was led by the Holy Spirit on what to do but in summary, it was a little of everything.
Day 1: 12 February 2020
I have been feeling somewhat off and not myself.
There is no quick solutions, I know that… The secret has always been Intimacy and going back to the God.
I have challenged myself to do Soaking for the next few days/week. I started yesterday from 12am to 10am this morning.
I slept in the hall and and had the music of various people from Joshua Mills to Graham Cooke.
Come and join me, if you need that booster for the New Year 2020.
Enjoy and share if you have any testimonies. I will also share my journey.
Day 3: 14 February 2020
My 3rd day of 10 hours Soaking started with God showing me various situations. The year 2019 was a year of transition from Thailand back to Malaysia. I came back with lots of joy because God spoke so clearly and confirmed through Doug Addison. But, it was very hard for my Son and Husband. As a result of their Emotional issues, it affected me. So, since around Jan 2019 up to Feb 2020, the Lord began to take me through Emotional Healing. God showed me traumas, situations, people, etc. I was somewhat surprised at the pain and effect it had on me because I thought I had dealt with it. Obviously not complete and deep enough.
In the area of Ministry, it was also very challenging because I had to organize all the Admin, Planning & Teaching single-handedly. I had to juggle many things and it wasn’t easy because I had to depend on others to translate and work with me (Thailand & Nepal). And financially was also somewhat challenging because my Husband had still not found employment and his new consultancy still no clients. But my trust has always been God who is able to provide.
It was a great DETOX session.
I felt lighter.
During the Healing session, I felt the Father said, “There, there, I am with you” and felt His hand on my head caressing me. Like a Father would, to bring comfort. It made me feel that everything will be alright. Its going to be OK.
Thank you, Holy Spirit for guiding me through this Healing gently, full of mercy and kindness. Thank you for taking my burdens and giving me yours, which is lighter. Without this DRN Tools & Soaking in your presence, I would probably be crazy by now. So Thank You again God for having mercy on me and teaching me all these tools. Thank you for the abundant life that is available to me.
Day 4: 15 February 2020
Psalms 91: 14-16 (The Passion Translation)
For here is what the Lord has spoken to me:
“Because you have delighted in me as my great lover,
I will greatly protect you.
I will set you in a high place, safe and secure before my face.
15 I will answer your cry for help every time you pray,
and you will find and feel my presence
even in your time of pressure and trouble.
I will be your glorious hero and give you a feast.
16 You will be satisfied with a full life and with all that I do for you.
For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation!”
The Lord is revealing deeper things inside my heart and I can feel His presence bubbling inside my spirit.
I spent some time worshipping with Bethel TV worship.
I am reminded that Soaking is not only seeking His presence, healing and etc. but its BEING WITH FATHER, JESUS & Holy Spirit.
I am feeling the PULL of His love to go into His presence. Song of Solomon 1: 2 “Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for thy love is better than wine.
Day 6: 17 February 2020
Psalms 91:4 (The Passion Translation)
His massive arms[f] are wrapped around you, protecting you.
You can run under his covering of majesty and hide.
His arms of faithfulness are a shield keeping you from harm.
(f) Or “wings.” Also found in the next sentence, “under his wings,” which speaks not of God having wings, but of the wings of the cherubim resting on the mercy seat. The implication is that we can always come to the mercy seat and rest without fear.
*****
I was meditating on the above Bible verse yesterday.
The words, “You can run under his covering of majesty and HIDE” really struck me. There were many times in the past when something happened, I wanted to run into a hole and hide! Most often those situations that was happening was hard, painful and not within my control. I want to ‘run and hide’ and have my pity party.
Now I am reading that the Lord is asking me to HIDE but UNDER his covering of MAJESTY. Wow!!!! Rather than choosing a ‘hole’ of flesh to hide in, I can still HIDE but with HIM.
I can also come to the mercy seat and rest without fear. Wow!!!! There is no fear that He will judge me that I am feeling fearful or weak. I can just REST. There is MERCY.
When I read that, my heart was so full of His mercy and kindness. There is often so much of expectations from husband, children, parents, ministry, myself and etc. But having to just rest and hide in Him feels like I can be just MYSELF with Him. So relaxing!
I have been enjoy Graham Cooke’s Soaking “The Way of the Warrior” Album.
Day 13: 24 February 2020
My sessions with the Lord is getting better and better and I look forward to do my Soaking sessions everyday.
Yesterday was particularly good when the Lord took me to deeper healing of a particular anxiety that seems to be lingering. He showed me the root that led to another root that led to another root cause… LOL. As with a lot of healing, the deep ones gave lots of tears but relief.
I could feel the difference this morning!!! I feel fresher, there was a song in my heart, physically I felt stronger, emotionally I felt calm and faith rising.
Looking forward to another Soaking day tonight!
For those of you who are considering to slot some time but fighting for time, I encourage you to slot in 15-20mins to start off.. Maybe in the morning or lunch time or just after dinner. You will definitely enjoy it! Plan to do 1 hour stretch per week. You will definitely enjoy it!!
