Third Heaven as i saw it.

JESUS IS THE LORD1PRAISE THE LORD1THE LORD YESHUA.
Life is not about money spent on yourself or that you have earned, it is about CHARITY given on behalf of THE LORD JESUS/YESHUA.
Go ye therefore and cast thy wealth among all the nations, shewing to all that by this Charitable act you indeed do love thy enemy. amen
THIRD HEAVEN
Let me speak for this time as men would.
About 25 years ago, i went to a party that a friend of mine had heard about. He said there were going to be a lot of girls. i was at that age where this was what life was all about. We went to the party and sure enough there were a lot of girls there, and maybe too many guys. But we stayed  to see what might happen. i set down on a couch and began to listen to the conversation. To my surprise all were talking about JESUS/YESHUA CHRIST.
i though it was strange my friend had brought me to this kind of party...neither of us having been to church in a few years. As i was about to get up and suggest we leave, a wind and light of sorts came into the room. No one seemed to notice this.

cool

so, it was a pot party and you all were baking? i think thats a bit innappropriate for these boards

i sat there waiting to see what was going on, and then what looked like two sets of hands with fingers glowing from a soft light within the fingers, appeared about one inch above each and every person's head in the room. These lighted fingers swayed back and forth gently, much like water was pushing them like the movement of a current on a sea anemone. These fingers were fatter and longer that those of a man, and only half of the hand was showing.
The rest disappeared in a much brighter base.
The whole thing had the appearance of a crown over a person's head.
As i looked at this thing, i heard a voice speaking from it. i looked at the mouth of the girl over whom this crown appeared to see if it was her saying these things. i was shocked to hear her saying by her mouth one thing to a girl next to her and the light over her head saying to me another thing.
i then became afraid for my life...i looked around the room and saw no one else noticed this thing, and they all with crowns over their heads.

like i said, cannabis

crazy, man....so you went from your wild, drugged up youth to being a false prophet...that'd make a good book, methinks

i got up and went into the bathroom to throw some water on my face. i did this and then saw a fruit jar full of money sitting by the sink. i looked at it and thought i might like to have some of it for myself. When i thought this, the money turned into a snake and begin to writhe inside the jar. i thought this is enough and went to my friend and told him we needed to leave and go somewhere else. He was suprised, but said ok. As we went out the door and walked across the lawn, i was suddendly taken by a feeling i was going somewhere, but my body was staying behind.

i stood on the banks of a great body of water, and looked out over what seemed like the ocean i had seen before. i saw small waves falling at my feet, and saw how the water flowed down along the beach. i did not know how this could be for all the water as far as i could see was flowing horizontally to the beach and not perpendicular into the shore, before flowing back out to the ocean...it was not even the same as a rip tide.
All the water was flowing like a river.

OK, I was wrong. There may have benn pot there, too, but you were most definitly tripping on shrooms.

Wow.

i then looked up the beach and saw three men walking towards me coming down a road that ran along the beach. They came from a higher rise that looked like a small hill.
All three had a soft glow about them even seeming to come from within them the same as the fingers over the girl's head. For some reason i did not think this was strange. They were of three different heights. A taller man was in the middle and to his left a shorter man, and to his right the shortest man, who was about my height.
"What do you think of the river?" the tall man asked. i could not believe it. i asked him if he was sure this was a river because i could not see the opposite river bank.
"It is a river and if you listen closely, you will hear the little waves falling against the opposite shore, same as you hear them here before you." he said. i listened and could hear them. i asked how far across it was, because i had never heard of a river so wide anywhere on earth.

"It is so wide, if you were to try and swim across it, you could swim forever and not reach the opposite shore, but it is there." he said. Thinking now of the headwaters of a river, i asked him where did it come from?
"It flows from the Throne of GOd and if you were to walk back the way we came along this bank forever, you would not reach the Throne, but IT is there."
he replied to me. i felt he was pulling my leg. i looked down the bank in the opposite direction and aksed him where does it go?
"It flows and empties into a Great Gulf beyond, and if you were to walk this bank forever, you would not reach this Gulf, but it is there." he replied.
i thought for a moment and then noticed as i looked down at the water, i was it was the clearest water i had ever seen. i then noticed i could not see the bottom of the river....even right next to the bank.How deep is this river i asked him.
"If you were to fall in, you would sink forever and not reach the bottom, but it is there." he replied.
"Look closer at the water." the man to his left said.
i looked closely at the water and saw what looked like schools of needlefish. i was then told to look still closer . As i looked, i realized these things that appeared like fish to me were thoughts, formulas, and sayings. One or two i felt i had heard of before, but the majority of them i could not recognize and the vastness of the amount of them was incredible! As i looked even closer, the short man to the right of the tall man kicked me into the water.

i began to sink.
As i did, the thoughts flowed over and against me like ribbons from a tickertape machine, even like fish swimming in the water, they bumped up against me and then continued on down the river. i sank into the water deeper and deeper. i then had the feeling i could not breathe. i began to get scared and started gasping. At that moment, the tall man reached into the water and picked me up:lifting me high over the river shaking me like a leaf in the wind and in an instant i was dry the same as before.
i was sat down on the bank. He said "All things you need to know have now been given unto you." The man to his left said "Come with us."
The four of us walked up the river bank the direction from which i had seen them come before. In a short time we came to a rise in the road along the river bank as a small hill and walked up this hill.
i saw a great light shinning over the top of the hill like the sun rising in the morning over the curve of the earth. As we walked up into this light, a feeling of love washed over me. This love was unlike even that a man and a woman know for a moment, for this love stretched on and on and grew stronger the closer you got to the source of the light.

i then without failing to remember who i was, i felt all the cares, fears, and rememberaces of the world being lifted off my shoulders. i then knew nothing of my former life, but fully knew who i was. Then the light revealed a great and shinning city. i looked at this city and then knew this was the place for me. i started to walk off towards this city, but was stopped by the hand of the tall man on my right shoulder. "It is not yet time, there is something you must first do." he said to me. i felt myself moving back in the direction from where we had met. AS i moved back that way, a voice from the river said "ALL THINGS ARE BUT AN IRRITATION UPON THE SOUL, BARE THEM."
And then in the blink of an eye, i was back in my body. Another voice soft and sweet gave me to know by feeling "i will stay with you and comfort you."
i then was awake.

Drugs are bad.

So is lying.

i looked up at my friend and asked him what had happened.
He said i had passed out. i asked him for how long and he replied "For a few seconds."
And i thought it was for hours.
NOw i saw Paul in Third Heaven and he was the man that kicked me into the river. But how could Paul have written about me some 1950 years ago?
The LORD GOd Jesus Christ of Nazareth did to present to him a vision and he did not know it at the time but the vision was of things to come and Paul actually did to go into Third Heaven in the spirit and soul also, and did to see these things and Paul did not know he had gone there, for so great is the VISION of The LORD. AMEN
And when i was taken there some 1950 years later, i really was kicked into the river spirit and soul by the spirit and soul of Paul. amen
i am nothing0 and given(even i did not ask for this)much to know by THE SPIRIT/HOLY GHOST OF THE LORD GOd JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH.
Thankyou Jesus.
PRAISE THE LORD1THE LORD JESUS. AMEN

ummm interesting, not sure what to make of that.

Hey y'all
Dont be so quick to discount this. i too was brought to know christ through a vission in wich my spirit left my body, i posted it a while back. this could very well be the same thing. and since it led this person to christ could God not have had a hand in it.

Vissions may seem wierd and hard to understand, I.E. revelations, but that dose not depresciate thier viability.

take care and God Bless

Having religious experiences are a very strong sign of scizophrenia, have you been examined for this? I am serious, you could be a danger to yourself or others, I urge you to get an evaluation from a qualified psychiatrist.

Your spirit left your body, eh Rand? I musta missed that one. You wouldn't mind telling such a life-changing event over again, would you?

And if you give this guy, adelpit, and credit at all, you obviously haven't been paying attention (which, btw, means you're smarter than we are)

Then I guess I really need padded walls. I only read half of it but it was interesting. It would appear you put the book of l33t away! Are you sure it was the third heaven you where in?

I like the part where the jar turns into the snake.

Real original.

I believe God will give us visions at times. It's not a good idea to call somone crazy because God gave them one. Of course you dont believe that but I certainly do. I dident think he put up his vision for it to be knocked but to share it with others.

Yes, it is possible that he had a hallucination, which is why I recommend him visiting a specialist. I am not saying he 'is' crazy, just that he should get himself evaluated, 'just in case'.

Pop, you are giving this guy (who is probably not even a Christian) way more trust than he deserves. I think you should read the whole thing, he says he will speak 'as men speak' as though he is above men.

Unless you think he is a prophet or 'chosen'...
