The Dam of Restraint
by Becky Dietz
Andy & I were praying with our friends, Jamie & Jessica, when Jamie began to read II Thessalonians 2:7. “ For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work in the world, [but it is] restrained only until he who restrains is taken out of the way.”
He began to share what God had revealed to him. Of course the One who restrains is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit (Who lives in every believer) is like a dam holding back the lawlessness at work in the world. As believers, we can come in agreement with the work of the Holy Spirit as we link arms of prayer and speak truth to restrain the work of lawlessness.
When the One who restrains is taken out of the way, the Antichrist will be revealed. The dam of restraint will be broken and the waters of lawlessness will flood the earth!
I love this picture of the dam of restraint Jamie gave us.
