Friday night I attended a Women's soaking retreat, led by Kim Kurnow. It was definitely a divine appointment. I found out about it last minute and decided to go. The room was decorated like a bridal suite and the floor was covered with comfortable satiny comforters. The fragrance of rose petals permeated the air. The room was lit by candles and very romantic. The idea was that this was the Chamber of the Bridegroom. There were two beautifully lace-decorated chairs with fancy cushions.
Kim taught on Being a Laid Down Lover of Jesus. She mentioned examples of people that poured themselves out at Jesus' feet, one being the woman that anointed his feet with the perfumed ointment from her alabaster box.
Afterwards we had coconut communion. That's the very first time I've ever heard of that! It's symbolic. The coconut on the tree is high and represents Jesus as He was in Heaven. As the coconut falls to the ground it represents Jesus as he went down to the deepest parts of the earth for us to pay the penalty for our sin. We partook of sliced coconut meat that was served in coconut halves and drank little communion cups filled with coconut juice.
As we listened to the beautiful music by Alberto & Kimberly Rivera, we all just laid down to learn how to pour out our love to the Lord. People all around me were experiencing an awesome time of intimacy with Jesus.
Then one by one, women were called out and as we sat on the chairs, we had our feet washed and we got a special treat: we all got prophesied over! So wonderful.
