A sister shared with me this morning that her ungodly father saw a scripture on the wall in her house and backed up as though frightened by it. I told her my thoughts about the presence of the Holy Spirit, and those thoughts are as follows:
It's possible the Holy Spirit is evident in His Own scriptures and it frightens those who are not born again.
In other words, they know there is a God and that He is all-powerful, but refuse to confess their sinfulness and trust in Christ.
Hebrews 4:12-13 "12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight; everything is uncovered and exposed before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.…"
I have had people back up from me while I was being friendly and kind, even ladies pulling their tops together that were too revealing even though I was kind and friendly, saying nothing about their clothing.
Unbelievers can sense the presence of the Holy Spirit. They think something about us makes them uneasy, but it's not us.
John the Baptist was in his mother's womb when he sensed the Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ in his mother's womb when he lept for joy at the presence of Jesus Christ.
The Holy Spirit is very powerful, when He is removed from the world all hell will break loose like nothing anyone has ever seen. The Holy Spirit is called "The Restrainer", He restrains evil which is why the world cannot touch the believer, our bodies can be attacked but our Spirit cannot be touched. Evil will not become full-blown while the Holy Spirit remains on the earth in the born-again believer.
We are only seeing a taste of what is coming when the rapture occurs. We see the world growing darker every day fulling the earth with evil.
Evil men will lie and say the terrible people were removed when the believers disappear in the rapture. The world will become terrified at the disappearance of millions of believers. But more terrifying than that is when the restrainer is removed evil will explode leaving the world completely unprotected.
2 Thessalonians 2:6–7
"6 And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way."
Imagine a world in which evil is full bore against everyone and everything. Where there are no "friendly" people left to help others. Where everyone is out for themselves without empathy and mercy toward anyone else.
The world will explode with natural disasters more powerful than the world has ever seen before.
Luke 23:29-31 "…29 Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’ 30At that time ‘ they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’ 31 For if men do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”…"
Revelation 6:16
"And they said to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb."
The tribulation is the time of the wrath of God. The final time in which God will punish evil and give mankind one last chance to repent and trust in Christ.
Isaiah 2:19
"And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth."
Now is the time of repentance and salvation, there isn't much time left before believers are removed and those left will suffer things they never thought could happen.
2 Corinthians 6:1-2 "1 As God’s fellow workers, then, we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. 2 For He says: “In the time of favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the time of favor; now is the day of salvation! "
