Hebrews 11:6

It was over 15 years ago that the Lord introduced me to soaking in the spirit, and it was this moment in time that my life radically changed. Daily, I began to cry out and soak in His presence like never before. But more specifically, it was in 2010 that soaking catapulted my life and business from being broke to being blessed. When my husband and I found ourselves in an insurmountable amout of consumer debt, and the attorney telling us to file bankruptcy, God used my prayer and soaking legacy to pull us out of this dark place.

When I cried out to Him, he lead me to the scripture above, then He instructed me to look up the word, “reward” in Hebrew. To my amazement, it meant wages. So, God told me to substitute the word “reward” in this scripture for wages. When I did, light came. What God was saying is, if you

would just soak in my presence more, I will increase your wages and wealth. OMG...I said to myself. This is easy. I can do this. And this is what I did!

For four years, I soaked in the presence of God from 2am - 4am, and He began to show me how to prosper. When I came “off the floor,” my income increased three times, and in the years following, over a quarter of a million dollars were generated in my ministry and business. Now, 20 years later, my income, client base, and my spiritual life have drastically been transformed. So, whatever you need, SOAK YOUR WAY INTO IT!

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Soaking Prayers

One of the greatest moves that are sweeping across this nation now in the body of Christ is soaking prayers. It is learning how to be quiet in God’s presence, so that He might impregnate us with His vision as well as empower us to do greater things for Him for His glory. Some have even been healed in His presence like this.

This is what has changed or sped up God moving in my life in such a powerful way. Things that in the past took years to happen, God is now doing it in a day or week or month.

As I soak in His presence, He downloads information, direction and technology to help me fulfill the mandate that is upon my life. I have never experienced

anything like this before. It is amazing! All I can tell you; it works.

I don’t have a copyright or patent on this, so everybody can take advantage of being in His presence like this. It is a guarantee increase response.

What is soaking?

Soaking is taking time to simply be quiet for moments in a day, silently laying before Him with soft soaking music playing, letting Him overshadow you.

No, soaking is not transcendental meditation or yoga. It’s just laying in His presence – giving Him time to fellowship with you. We have to quiet our minds and spirits, so we can hear God more clearly. And soaking in His presence is an excellent way to do this.

Let’s face it, this world is a noisy place, and until we can designate some respite times in our lives, we will never rest. Often we are like the proverbial rat or hamster running constantly on the wheel in a cave – never reaching a destination.

Soaking Music

When you are intimate with your spouse, you don’t put on loud or upbeat music; no, you play music that is conducive to the setting. This is what is required with times like this with the Father. There is so much wonderful soaking music out now. Here is a list of some of my favorite artists.

True Grace Williams

Jason Upton

Roberto & Kimberly Rivera Rick Pino

All of these artists’ music is available on Youtube, Spotify, itunes and Pandora. The best way to enjoy these artists is to create a playlist. However, on Pandora, you cannot create a playlist, but you can set your radio station to one of these artists and it will find other artists with similar sounds and play them. You want these sounds in your house all the time.
