Ladies, there is a prayer practice that is gaining momentum among
Christians, and we need to talk about it at the Table. It’s called the
Soaking Prayer, and while it sounds like something Christians can
practice safely, it is anything but safe. In fact, the Soaking Prayer
practice contains spiritual elements that are not only not found in
Scripture, but God’s Word warns us to avoid doing these things.
What is it?
The “Soaking Prayer” is one of many Contemplative prayer practices
that isn’t found in the Bible. It is designed to empty your mind, and
was developed by the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship, now known as
Catch the Fire Toronto. This group also gave rise to the “Toronto Blessing” and many aberrant practices such as holy laughter, making animal sounds, and being drunk or paralyzed in the Spirit.
