Welcome to the Soaking Prayer page at End Days Worship Ministries.
We have compiled this information to give you an overview of the
concept and benefits of soaking prayer. Basically,
soaking prayer is the setting aside of oneself
to focus and meditate on God for renewal of strength and peace.
In the
beginning God created man and woman. His greatest joy was the close
fellowship He had with them as they walked and talked together in
the garden, enjoying the cool of the day. But it didn’t last.
Satan brought sin into the world and broke that precious, intimate
relationship. So man began his search for something to fill the
emptiness in his heart.
Yeshua
came to restore our relationship with His father.
Now
the Holy Spirit comes to soften our hearts and kindle our love for
our heavenly Father. He also nurtures a new love relationship
between Messiah and His Bride, preparing us for the marriage supper
of the Lamb.
(Rev 19:9)
During previous revivals people
referred to it as "waiting on the
Lord" or
"tarrying"
as they lingered expecting God’s revival blessings. Although
"soaking" includes waiting on the Lord, in this present move of the
Spirit it means much more than that.
To "soak" in God’s presence is to rest in His
love rather than to "strive" in prayer.
As the person receiving a touch from God begins to connect with the
reality of the Holy Spirit’s presence, he often responds by falling
or simply lying on the floor. As he rests expectantly in God’s
presence, often the Holy Spirit hovers over the person to reveal
more of God’s love and to renew and repair areas of a person’s life.
As the believer soaks in God’s presence, the Lord takes control and
begins to draw his attention to God’s word either in the scriptures
or through internal audible impressions or pictures he sees in his
mind’s eye.
This is what soaking prayer all about:
We are being cleansed, prepared and anointed (see Esther 2:12).
We simply come to be with our Father – no shopping lists, no
agendas, just be still in His arms of Love.
