At this level one perceives the armour of light by actual rays of light coming from one's eyes....like a helmet of salvation.
Now of course these things are too wonderful to explain properly with mere words. And most people, who live life as any other human on earth, would find it near impossible to accept that God could be that powerful towards us.
Looking back over this . . .
What we truly need to do is to understand Scripture on these things, and not base our conclusions on what experiences people have reported, which have No Authority - Even Peter!
Peter Saw Jesus Transfigured. He saw the illuminated cloud. He heard the Father speak! And still the Holy Spirit wrote, by Peter's hand, that we have a more certain word of prophecy.
Even with that experience Peter defers to the Written Scriptures.
And the man whom Paul reported caught up to the "5th level", no, the 3rd heaven - we need Scriptural terminology - this is mentioned briefly, and only to say, "I'm not going to say anything about this about myself, now, I'll boast about another guy I know, but not me, not this way."
So are we to be telling people, I've been caught up to heaven, caught up to level 3, however you want to call it?
And then start forming doctrine derived from our own perceptions and opinions of our experiences?
Or shall we do as the Apostles did, put all that on the back burner, and stick with the Written Word of God?
I can speak of the miracles in my life, the walking in the Spirit without sin, and so what? Yes, I know God can lift a man up to walk without sin, or perhaps just the consciousness of sin, because, let's face it, if Paul was not a fit judge of himself, shall we say we are?
This is what happens when we elevate Scripture over our experiences. We put ourselves in the position that our experiences just might become unimportant except to us.
The fact of the matter is that when it was God's will to awaken my understanding, He did. And when it was God's will that the corruption of my flesh would be put away, that's what He did. And I learned what life is meant to be.
And when it was His will that this abeyance of the flesh end, it did.
And now I know that it is His will that I walk by faith, which is the true miracle. I know that the only impediment to this life is unbelief. Listening to people tell you, you aren't there yet. I have good news for you, sonshine!
We are reborn into life.
To live a life in a body of flesh, but to live that life according to what is written, and not what is experienced.
It is in that way that the living water flows unimpeded. We all, who are Christ's, share in the same Spirit, His life already fills us, and all that remains is that we believe this to be true, and then live accordingly.
Much love!
