SOAKING
THE MYSTERY OF SOUND (TMS)
SOAKING
Habakkuk 2:20
"But oh! God is in his holy Temple!
Quiet everyone—a Holy silence. Listen!"
Psalm 46:10
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
Soaking!
Although the word soaking is not really a scriptural metaphor, it is a term we use to describe a moment of rest, waiting in stillness for the Holy Spirit to fill us again with the Father's love. It can be after prayers, worship session etc. Or you just wait in silence for Him.
The key to the “secret place” is “soaking!”
Soaking is when you rest in God's presence doing nothing but listening and listening to Him alone.
"Soaking" is another term for "active rest". (Listening to Him is the active part while doing nothing is the resting part). That was exactly what happened between Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42).
With all the effort of Martha to give a nice and befitting treatment to Jesus who she sincerely love, and His disciples. Jesus still said Mary chose the best part by just sitting down at His feet to listen to Him. That's soaking. It's clear that Mary was hungry and desperate for more of the Father's glory and love.
It's in soaking that the Father adequately breath upon you, rub Himself on you and you go about smelling God. Things begin to fall in pleasant places for you. Soaking helps you get acquitted with the Father's voice. It gets you fully registered and familiarize you with the dealings of God. It takes you straight to the throne room, to a place where God the Father can look at you, then turn to the Word and the Spirit and say.... Shall I do anything without first revealing it to Elmond Isaiah my friend? (Put your name instead if you will).
Soaking is more effective with the right music at the background!
