Hi there,
So just a little misconception that the Lord showed me had room to develop: Christian culture says "the day will come when the Holy Spirit will be taken out of the way" (based on Thess.). But what or who has the strength to manipulate where the Holy Spirit is or is not?
The answer to this question is that the Holy Spirit has asked to be held back, that it is within Him to restrain almost any who would want Him out of the way - but more than that, the Holy Spirit is held from taking a greater place.
What is mysterious, is that it is not what holds Him back that He, the Holy Spirit, wrestles with: but that he that would hold Him back, would dare hold Jesus back!
So it is that the Holy Spirit, even when He is free, knows to advance Jesus first, and Him for the sake of God in the Holy Spirit!
I don't know, I just find that fascinating.
