Have you ever thought of a time of resting and soaking? (Romans 4) Many prophetic words have been spoken by leaders in The River that being in a place of rest is where true revival and breakthrough will come.
Just a thought!

Connie here brings a great point.
There are seasons for everything.
Yet what we cannot do is use the concepts of soaking as an excuse to become complacent.
The way I look at it is, like an oil lamp, we can still be resting in the oil of the Spirit, soaking it up, allowing it to fill our very being, and yet we can still burn.
We can still invade the darkness with our very being.
Does that invasion require anything of us.
Burning is a state of being, of being in Gods presence and allowing it to shine forth.
Light shines.
It is that simple.
But how do you know if you are shining unless you are standing in darkness?
Again, it goes to the whole concept of scripture.
“They that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength.”
In Our current layman, American terminology of wait, it means sit and do nothing until it is done for you.
Webster says: to stay in a place of expectation.
The original root of the word is qavah – To look for, search out eagerly. To Expect and Hope for.
This Waiting that is talked about all through the Old Testament is one that requires action. To pursue and passionately go after.
Can we rest in the perfect peace of God and be in the midst of the battle field?
Yes, because peace was never meant to be based on our circumstances, we have peace that surpasses understanding.
We do not allow our situations and circumstances to define us, we supernatural define them.
For too long now we have allowed ourselves to be taken out of the battle field. Now the battle has been brought once again to our door.
Christians, Warriors, let us arise and fight once again.
Thank you for your stirring Lord!
On the battle field, and surrounded by fellow warriors!
