We've called them soaking meetings, a name that was dubbed from Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship and Catch the Fire Ministries through John and Carol Arnott.
There are so many life transforming intimate encounters with the living God during these meetings that I've lost count. We always take time to talk about what we've experienced at the end of the meeting. Occasionally it's good to write about the stories people report.
Here a few from last week, at Zion Road Healing Rooms.
One dear lady was intending to only stay for a short time, burdened by her to-do list. I told her she would probably want to stay until the very end and she took my advice. She was glad she had done so. She had a wonderful vision of the Lord taking her into a beautiful field. In fact, several of us had similar visions.
Another young woman came for the first time. She was set free of rejection and reported later that the heavy weight presence of Holy Spirit loving her was with her all through the night and still there in the morning. She'd left her job with great sorrow and concern about her future when she came in. She left happy, encouraged, hopeful and feeling assured of God's love.
There were wonderful stories from each one.
The meetings are increasing in frequency and intensity. I'll try to figure out how to make a calendar soon.
