Our Guest Carol Arnott
SID: Well for 25 years you’ve taught this, you’ve seen the fruit of this. I mean I have had people in my chair that their lives were transformed from soaking at the Toronto Airport Church but the good news is you don’t have to go anywhere to soak before God. So tell me, what is that plate of water and that sponge and that towel there for? You’re scaring me.
CAROL: The towel is to dry my hands, but.
SID: You’re not going to, no?
CAROL: No, but you see this is what most of you looked like a few minutes ago. I saw you on TV looking at our studio audience and you’re hard, you’re tough, you’ve got hurts, and you’ve got pain and you’re busy in your life. But we want to see what happens because we want to pray anointing over this water and we want to put Mr. Sponge in there and see what’s soaking in God’s presence will do. So Lord, we anoint this water. Don’t we Sid?
SID: We do.
CAROL: And we put Mr. Sponge in and we’ll check on him in a little while to see how he’s doing, whether he’s still as hard as he was.
SID: Now you say it’s imperative to make time for God to heal our broken heart but most believers say, “God’s already taken care of it.” I had a staff member, a producer with our ministry who read your material, has been soaking for decades, but he followed the instructions you taught which are, you’ve learned in 25 years of teaching thousands how to do this, did it. And he said it amazed me but it also amazed him. He had a healing in his heart, literally started weeping before the Lord. How could it be after all those years as a mature spirit? They’ll believe it. How could it be?
CAROL: It’s amazing because the hurts and pains that we’ve had growing up are like layers and it’s just been layer upon layer upon layer. But as we still ourselves, our God knows what the hurts and pains are. And so, if we’re still before him he might just put his finger on that like he did with your staff member and that was a real deep wound in his heart that effected his whole life.
SID: How important is it for us to get our hearts mended before we enter into this great move of God’s spirit?
CAROL: Well Sid, I believe that the next move is a move of holiness now not based out of good behavior but based on our hearts. In Mark it says because out of the heart are the issues of life. All the lewdness and bad everything comes out of our heart. And so, God wants to open up those areas that have been locked up and free us because you see when he pours out his spirit like we’re expecting him to do, we want to be pure.
SID: But what if our heart has these old wounds that are covered, covered, covered, covered over?
CAROL: You see that’s what soaking does. It opens you up to intimacy, it opens you up to God to hear his voice that still small voice and then he’ll tell you, “Carol you’ve got this problem in your heart, will you let me heal it?” And so then you work through whatever it is just like your staff member did and God’s just set him free and but whatever time he took to soak it wasn’t long.
SID: Boy, the presence of God is, I just have to interrupt you and tell you because I have a word from our sponsor God. God said that people’s wrists are being healed right now, carpal tunnel is being healed right now. Anything you need in the wrist area and now I’m hearing it’s spreading to the hand. Anything you need in the hands, arthritic fingers, anything you need just take it right now. And when we come back I want to find out because I’ve been watching Mr. Sponge and I want to find out what happened to Mr. Sponge and when we return I’m going to ask Carol to tell you about one of the first times she saw radical stage four cancer healed through soaking. Be right back.
