I am filled with idea that prior to our departure there will be a calm or quietness in the heavenlies. Not exactly sure what purpose would be served, but I suspect that God will become quiet after we enter our prayer closets. Our prayers will seem to hit the ceiling as it were. God's way of saying, trust in Me I have everything covered. Does this make sense to anyone else?! TR Not withdrawing His Spirit, but rather subdue His Spirit. This is a new thought for me, as such I'm trying to navigate if this be from the Lord or not. Any ideas? TR Yes, that makes sense because when Noah and his family and the animals entered the ark it was relatively calm ... no violent rain storm while still boarding ... I’ve been pondering the clouds ... do you think there will be total cloud coverage around the whole world as a heads up notice or only a massive bunch of clouds in the Northern Hemisphere when the Lord calls His church home? In response to your Holy Spirit question ... yes I can see that happening because the Restrainer will stop restraining ... There certainly seems to be a lull right now... like a vast melancholy has descended over the church as a whole... most are sleeping and those of us watching are struggling to hang on... I am talking about something more than just a slow down of prophetic fulfillment. I believe that it will become something more individual and personal. Once again, in our quiet times when we meet with the Lord, though not forsaken, there will be a withdrawal of interaction. Trust and faith will be our rudder as opposed to direct fellowship by His Spirit! Or so it seems to me. Should this be the case, we are for-warned that we should not despair or fear. He has not left us but has chosen to become more silent. Once again, this is just something that I feel in my spirit. TR
