How you doin? What a good time at Bible study last night. I should have known because I was hearing lies about how my answer should be "no". I had a couple of good reasons not to go, but I went because my "yes" over came my "no". Praise Jesus. I got a little drunk in the Spirit. We laughed like crazy as we hosted the Presence. AWESOME!!!!!!! 2 Corinthians 12.
Verses 2-4, "I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. 3 And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows— 4 was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell." HOLY MAC A LOLY!!!!!!! Holy jealousy is oozing out of me. I want to be "caught up to the third heaven" so bad it hurts. Can you imagine hearing "inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell". What intimacy. Being in the elite realm that's secret and sanctified. COME ON!!!!!!! The Holy Ghost takes me closer and closer to that kind of intimacy.
Acts 8:39, "When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing." Again, the Holy Ghost transporting people. Not just to the heavenly realm, but to different places her in the first realm. How many of you know that earth is the first realm of heaven? Acts 8:40, "Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea." Philip is down with being transported. He went about his business of dealing out the good news like nothing happen. Like being transported was regular life. DIG IT!!!!!!! Oh, to be that intimate with the Holy Ghost.
Real quick. Verses 7-10, "To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." There's some "light" reading on Sat morning. Pun intended. These 3 verses are good for 5 more emails at least. I just wanted to say... HOLY MAC A LOLY!!!!!!! God is TOO much in a great sense of the word. Be caught up to paradise and hear inexpressible things today.
