¹³But when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth [full and complete truth]. For He will not speak on His own initiative, but He will speak whatever He hears [from the Father—the message regarding the Son], and He will disclose to you what is to come [in the future].
John 16:13 Amplified Bible (AMP)

Seven months to the day is when I quit my job with no plan. I knew I was exhausted and something was going to break if I didn’t make a change. Seven months later and this has been my unexpected year of rest. My word for 2020 is ‘Worthy’. It just dawned on me that I’m worthy to have rest in my life. I don’t need to keep going, going, going just because people expect me to always step up for them. So I’ve rested. But not just naps. Rest comes in so many different forms. A prophetic soaking experience is a new form of rest I have been using instead of my hour of quiet time. And it’s been an experience to say the least.

21 days of bathing in God’s presence. I don’t think you need to do this daily. But definitely when you know God is needed as you elevate to a new stratosphere. Was I in a bad place to do this? I wasn’t. Was I happy? Not sure. But I was in a restful state thus making this experience more worthwhile for me.

It’s hard to describe what this experience has been but I’ll do my best.

First I honestly just learned about a prophetic soaking experience earlier this month. And I immediately decided to listen. Then I challenged myself to do it for 21 days so I could let the words seep into my psyche. At times I felt a bright light glaring as my eyes were closed. Sometimes I would open my eyes thinking it was the sun coming in from the window. It wasn’t always the sun coming in that was shining so bright with my eyes closed. So I assume it was God reassuring me He was with me.

It took a minute for my body and mind to adjust because it felt time was going on forever. Or stopped. Not moving fast. Like things were just there.

The audio I listened to was just 1 hour 15 minutes. That restlessness spoke loudly. It let me know that I need to learn to sit and be still. Not just quiet but still. Now I wasn’t all on board with everything the Pastor was speaking but it was a prophetic message meaning it was coming directly from God. However, over time the words did start to settle in me. I was able to evaluate and reflect as the words was spoken day after day. At the end, I feel much calmer and secure. Like no matter what my current situation is, I know there is something greater coming down the pipeline. All I have to do is stay aligned with God’s Word for my life.

If you’re looking for something to help guide your mind and heart to God, I challenge you to listen to a prophetic soaking experience audio.
