SOAKING PRAYER TESTIMONIES

During the worship the presence of God was really strong. I was lying on the seats soaking it all in, and Kelly started singing prophetically about God being our father. Suddenly I had a “knowing” that God wanted me to ask him for something, like a daughter to her father. It was a “what do you want” moment.

I had been struggling with arthritis in my back for the last two years, and it was growing worse. It was particularly bad at night… I was always tossing and turning all night because I couldn’t get comfortable. Actually I couldn’t wait to get out of bed in the morning because lying there was so uncomfortable.

So in response to the father’s invitation, I asked for healing for my back (and knees). As I was lying there, I suddenly felt a curious “fluttering” in my lower back–like a bird was fluttering by, brushing me. I’m happy to report that last night I had NO PAIN at all! It literally feels like I’ve been given a completely new back…I can sit at the computer and even slouch without feeling any discomfort at all. What a great father you have. I love him.  Amy

The Lord’s presence permeated the room as I stretched out on the chairs and waded into the river. My heart was tenderized as I inhaled His unconditional love. Let the river flow… His love is so gentle, I’d forgotten.  Slowly I surrendered.  Then the regrets came to my mind.  “Jesus, please take my sins.”  Next He gave me a picture of you sitting together.  I’m about 8 years old sitting in a chair with pigtails. He was kneeling facing me, looking so happy to be with me. I dropped my head and said, ‘Jesus, I have something I need to give you.  It’s in this big box.”  He opens the box then gives me a puzzled look and says,  “There’s nothing in the box.” Then He starts laughing. I didn’t feel like laughing yet, so he starts tickling me so that I will laugh. Now you’re both laughing and it’s really fun.  (A two Kleenex moment, I assure you.)  

I’ve had chronic pain for years and as I continued soaking, the pain lessened and my range of motion was noticeably better. Walking out for the break, I noticed that my ankle was stronger and I wasn’t limping.  It’s been about two weeks now and I feel amazingly well. I’m feeling 50-75% better and have stopped the anti-inflammatory meds. Best of all, I’m reacquainted with the lover of my soul.  Mary

My mother died a year and a half ago and I came to Soaking with my grief.  I knew if I could just get here, I would feel better.  I came to Soaking and shared with the Lord how much I was hurting.  I cried at times and told Him how much I needed Him to comfort me and heal my heart.  I felt wave after wave of His presence and love going through me.  A series of these waves hit me several times.  I felt so much better when I left.  The next day I could concentrate so much better at work.  I didn’t feel like I was going to cry at any moment.  I think that coming to Soaking made a world of difference in my healing and ability to function well again.  What a blessing it was.  Paige

My experience at the Soaking Center was amazing. I felt heat go all over my back and I had been having back problems since I had my 3rd baby. I had been having such problems with my pregnancy and since that night I stopped throwing up and was able to eat and gain the weight I needed for my baby. I have since had the baby, he is now 8 months old. My back is completely healed. It has been a year now and when I think of what He did for me that night my back starts to heat up again. My marriage has been restored and healing has taken place.

I am so addicted to soaking. Thank you for the boldness to keep on doing it. Since I have been soaking in my own home God has been bringing  inner healing in my own life. I was rejected and abandoned by my father, my mother was not there for me. I have been raped and  molested by my uncles and had always struggled with the fear of someone doing it to my children. I have felt so lost and when you guys played that clip of the man dancing with his daughter on the screen, I too started to see myself in the spirit dancing with my Daddy who has always loved me. I never truly knew how much I was loved ’till that day. I have gone through some horrific things in my life and to survive is God alone. But to have healing from it all is Freedom!!!

Thank you for sharing this opportunity for many others just like me to experience God and to experience that my Daddy loves me. You see I was a little girl always hungering for someone to love me just for me and I will never forget the night he wrapped his arms around me and I can go through life now knowing that He is truly a Father to the fatherless and a mother to the motherless.
