Testimony From Chicago

The LORD led me to the SWAP site during my two week sabbatical from most things electronic recently. The special time during my soaking periods have so revitalized my relationship with the LORD that I now make the time to soak with Him at least twice a day! I didn’t realize what I was missing until I came to SWAP. It’s one of those things that seem so simple, and yet can change your whole world around. I am so grateful to Brenda Craig for building and maintaining this site. I am especially thankful for the wonderful artists who have allowed their anointed music to be easily shared with the all of us. May the LORD continue to expand all your territories for His glory.

Testimony from the Netherlands

A short testimony of how I came to Soaking and more of God

I was hungry for more of God and His Word. I wanted to understand His heart, to know more of His ways. I have heard about soaking and entering into the realms of Heaven. But still I couldn’t find a way to do so and I was really frustrated.

I thought: “Is this only for America, Canada and those countries?” I heard about so many things happening and I longed for it. I was so hungry and desperate to have it manifested in my own life.

I love the prophetic and it was my great desire to have words from God for others. And while searching I came on the site of Journals of the Heart. I was very curious about this Journaling. And there I found more about soaking. And the teaching about soaking and feeding the seed made me so excited. I wanted many people to know this.

So I started to download the music and to share with others. In my heart came the desire to start a soaking-group in my home. I longed to share some of the Words of Journals the Heart. So I started to translate them. In the explanation there is so much. It’s not one way. Everyone can find something that will suit them and give them the desire to continue to soak.

Because I thought that there was just one way to do it. And now I found that I could do it a way that is very more like me. So if this is true for me, it also will be true for another.

I’m thankful that God is leading me and helping me to be a blessing for many people. It’s my desire that they will discover that God is speaking to them too and that, indeed, they can also hear His voice. I hope that these soaking-times will be like a snowball. I hope that many more will discover how to enter the secret place and to receive from Jesus. So that they also can be the blessing God has called us to be.

God has helped me to make different soaking CD’s. Soaking music for those who will start to learn to soak and soaking music for those who already have understand the presence and the anointing of the music.

I still need to do some more translating and need more time to prepare myself, but I believe that God will bless these times. In March I hope to start with the sessions. I’m praying now that God will show me the people I can ask.

I’m so blessed with the Words that come from the heart of our Lord Jesus. I’m also thankful that they are not only words to make us feel good, but also Words that are like a sword. And I’m also thankful for all those who passes trough all that Holy Spirit tells them so that the body of Christ can grow in to adulthood and that we finally can subdue the world to the authority of the Kingdom of God. God had given us an instruction in Genesis.

But first we have to bring all our own efforts to the cross and receive His assignments. He wants to build now.

It’s my desire that we, as the body of Christ, will be different and that the world will see the sons and daughters of God and that the enemy will know that indeed, the portals of heel cannot overthrow the Kingdom.

In Him,

Testimony From South Africa

Every time I soak I always find myself habituating deep in the presence of the Lord and just communing with Him beyond my expectation. And it’s during these moments that God delivers and takes away things that are not of Him and deposits in me the treasures of heaven. Soaking is an area that has been neglected in our Christian circles but it is one thing needful during these times that we are living in.

Like Martha we are so busy in serving the Lord but we have not chosen the one needful thing— the good part of sitting at the Master’s feet. Our lives are very hectic and afford no time to really rest. Soaking gives us the opportunity to rest, not just to relax the mind and rest, but to sit at the Master’s feet.

Soaking gives us time to refreshed, renewed by Him and time to behold His beauty. Like with Mary, soaking is bringing us back to one needful thing—to rest in him and find our satisfaction in Him alone. It brings us to a place where we know that there’s only one thing that satisfies—the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.

Nothing will and no one can satisfy our deepest cravings but Him. I have no doubt that once you get hold of Brenda’s book Carvings In His Palm, What God Thinks When He Whispers Your Name and her soaking materials found on www.journalsoftheheart.com and www.soakingwithapurpose.com , your walk with the Lord will be deeper and solidified.
