The following excerpt is taken from Soaking in the Spirit by Carol Arnott:

We’re Called to Abide

I love this passage, John 15:1-8:

I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
(John 15:1-8 NIV)

Jesus tells us to abide in Him. That’s not a suggestion: that’s a command. We all want to lead fruitful Christian lives, but first, we must spend time with Jesus. Many believers skip right to the end of this passage, “This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit.” But they forget the first part. Abiding comes first. That’s where we become anointed and filled to do what Jesus is calling us to do.

Abiding means staying, waiting, and remaining. It’s a continuous thing. Its’ not instant I’ve learned in my life that abiding in God’s presence will totally transform your relationship with your Saviour, your Bridegroom, and your King, and it will empower you to bring the kingdom with mighty signs and wonders.

Making Time to Abide

We all get so busy doing. Life seems to throw a million things at us at once. It’s so easy to become tired and burnt out and weary in well doing. Soaking is the antidote to that. It is an opportunity to abide in the presence of God. When I soak, I position myself before God to abide in Him. Soaking is purposefully making space to be together with the Lord and to receive from Him. No matter how busy your life is, no matter what else you have going on, it’s never a waste of time.

It’s the same with Jesus. When you come to soak, don’t come with a shopping list of your needs. Instead, come to tell Him that you love Him, that you want to go deeper with Him. His heart’s desire is to love you back and to go deep with you too. As you spend time in His presence, you’ll begin to see how real He is. You’ll see that He wants to have a wonderful relationship with you, that intimacy is His heart’s desire. Jesus paid the highest price for you so that you might draw close to Him.

It’s so important to make time for the Lord to heal your wounds. I urge you to prioritize the healing of your heart. Make inner healing a lifestyle. King David said in Psalm 139:23-24, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” This has to be a regular process for all of us. WE must all let the Lord search our hearts for any unforgiveness, bitterness, pride, and pain that can so easily  go unchecked. If you want to be successful in life, to cast out demons, raise the dead, to do all the wonderful things you know that Jesus has called you to and you do not deal with the issues of the heart, it will get you into difficulty. You must choose forgiveness so that the devil will not gain legal rights into your life and try to make you fall from grace and bring reproach upon Jesus. As they say, “hurting people hurt people.” It’s so important to break the cycle of hurt and pain by allowing the Lord to deal with your own issues.

I’ve spent many seasons of my life forgiving my mother and working through issues that I had as a result of our relationship. At one point, I became so frustrated and asked God, “Why don’t you just set me free from my mother issues? I know you can.” He revealed to me that if He did it instantly I would become prideful. Human beings tend to become full of pride and without mercy to others who are struggling with their problems. God heals us in a way that we can manage. It does take tie, but it’s worthwhile. He keeps us leaning on Him, sometimes walking with a limp, so that we always depend on Him for our needs.

As you soak, sometimes He will fill you with His love and you will respond with the heart of a lover. Other times He will go back and heal a deep wound. Then other times He will empower you for the ministry He has for you.  Your whole life will change when you realize that the Lord absolutely loves you.

The Holy Spirit has moved so powerfully since 1994 and we have experienced the love of the Lord, His joy, and His presence. I believe that the next wave of Him moving is going to be a holiness wave. We must all deal with our “stuff” on a daily basis so that we walk with integrity. The Holy Spirit is a kind messenger. He is giving us all the opportunity to make wise decisions, to choose forgiveness, and to leave behind our sinful ways at this time. I urge you to let Jesus “dig in the garden of your heart now,” and to let Him lead you in the process of sanctification and transformation. Choose inner healing daily.

The next wave of my spirit will be birthed out of intimacy. Intimacy can only be found in the secret place where you and I can be as one. Out of this intimacy will come the release of life, power, and fire to enable you to see and feel my glory start to cover the earth. You must find that place, that secret place, that relationship with me.” Terry carried that beautiful fragrance of roses with him wherever he went. It was the fragrance of intimacy. After he went to be with Jesus, I found the prophetic word that I’d stored away and the oil was still there, but the smell had gone.

The fragrance that Terry carried was a representation of the beauty of intimacy with the Father. It drew me, and I know many others, into loving Jesus more. WE each need to have the fragrance of intimacy in our own lives. It may not be a physical smell, but the intimacy that you have with the Lord will always ooze out and bless those around you.
