Soaking is a Psalm 23 experience. He makes us to lie down in green pastures and He leads us by still waters. He restores our soul. As part of the restoration process we may find ourselves responding physically or emotionally. We might laugh, cry, or shake as the Holy Spirit works in us. The Holy Spirit might give us a vision or bring a memory to our mind that He wants to heal. Often we enter into a deep rest. Perhaps we may fall asleep. Even if we don’t feel anything happening, by faith we believe that the Lord is working in our spirit.
Abide in the Vine
Intimacy with God is the key to fruitfulness in every area of our lives. As we become more aware of His presence in us...so do other people. As we become more affected by His presence in us...so do those around us. By taking time in the secret place with God, we start to walk by the Holy Spirit in everyday life. We find that, rather than striving to achieve things for God, He is building His kingdom through us. “Not by might, not by power, but by His Spirit.”
