You're soaking in it!

While the excesses and emotionalism of the "Toronto Blessing" movement were shocking (people rolling on the floor, making animal noises, etc.), it looks like the ministers who led it are discovering some kind of contemplative dimension to Christian prayer; this may be a good thing.

"There is a River that shall make glad the city of God."

The term "soaking" is unconventional perhaps, but it's all about waiting upon the Lord.

Remember how David played the harp for Saul and it quieted his troubled spirit? Remember how Mary soaked up the teaching of Christ while Martha strived and labored and fussed and fumed in the kitchen preparing a meal for Jesus and his disciples? Jesus told Martha to not chastise Mary for sitting at His feet to hear his teaching.

Essentially when you take out the time to worship before God and let Him minister to you through the anointing on His Word in worship, it can be a wonderful time of experiencing fellowship with God. To use the term "soaking" to describe that doesn't seem to unorthodox when you really think about other seemingly unorthdox analogies the Bible uses. Remember that Christ's relationship to the church is put in very romantic, marital language in the extended allegory of the Song of Solomon. Yet I'm sure a lot of religious folks would blush at the consideration of that metaphor, but it's one neither Christ nor his apostles nor the prophets were shy about using throughout Scripture.

Judge all things in light of Scripture. The website lists various Scriptural references in defense of "soaking." A good rebuttal to "soaking" would be to show the verses are taken out of context.
