There is more to soaking in the anointing. My dad for many years worked in a lumber yard. It was hard work and many nights when he came home he would take a bath. This was a time for him to soak in warm water. This soaking was for cleansing and for removing the pain of sore muscles. After he had soaked for a few minutes he was ready for the night. He was ready for play, concerts, sports, adventure; what ever the night had in store. This soak restored; he was clean and refreshed.
We need this type of soaking as well. Prayer is a powerful ministry; it also requires regular cleansing and refreshing. If you are carrying a burden in prayer, the identification with the needs of the people and the battle against the enemy is just that, a battle. It can be long hard work and we need to have time with God to soak in His anointing; to be cleansed and refreshed.
To whom He said, “This is the rest with which You may cause the weary to rest,” And, “This is the refreshing”; Yet they would not hear.
Isaiah 28:12 (NKJV)
Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,
Acts 3:19 (NKJV)
