2 Corinthians 12:2-4 (KJV)
2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
2 Corinthians 12
Third Heaven And Near-Death Experiences
God does give unto His people visions, dreams, and near-death experiences. He speaks to His elect, even in our time.
2 Corinthians 12:6,7
2 Corinthians 12:6,7 (KJV)
6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
Ongoing Sickness And Unanswered Prayers
Prayers are often not answered the way we want and we have to suffer. Only those who are strong will endure this affliction.
Jesus’s Grace Is Sufficient
Through we don’t deserve it the Lord extends His love to each of us. He picks us up when we are down. He is so merciful and kind.
