All right, well, good afternoon. We're gonna have a little Bible study here today. Actually, hopefully a pretty good one. I'll give you a few minutes here to get on. I'm not gonna be able to broadcast tomorrow, so I figured I'd do this today in order to give you something else to study this week. Or to think about. So, Put that down there. Man, that heated seat gets hot. So we're gonna look at the Apostle Paul's vision and revelation of heaven. And I'll tell you why in a little while. But anyway, we'll give some time for some folks to come on and all that good stuff. Trucking in South Carolina, Elijah is. Trucking along. I figured I'd dress up. I wondered what it looked like on that video if it looked a lot better if I dressed up a little bit. So I just thought I would. You know, I don't know, just something I've thought about. I might in my studio, I might do that. When I get the studio all set up, I think I'm going to. But anyway, from Descanso, California. I kind of like the way it looks better, to be honest with you, than Keep the bear look. Yeah, I'm growing weary of the beard. I'll be honest with you. I just am. I don't like it that long. It's not my favorite. What's the best scriptures to approve Muslims under the truth? Show them who Jesus is. Show them from Moses to the Old Testament to the law that was given. And if they cannot receive the law and the prophets, they'll never receive Christ. That's just the way you have to do it. In my opinion anyway. That's how Paul reached all of those groups. So anyway, hope you're all having a good day. Been busy this week. I did a truck talk at the beginning of the week. I did a, on Martin Luther King Day. You can go back and listen to that. Tuesday did the broadcast on Jesse's trip to heaven. I'll kind of explain to you why I'm doing this when we were driving in to church. We're about 40 minutes away from church and We're driving in to to the to the meeting house where we meet for church we You know we were talking about Bible verses and my children, they were talking about different things. And I got to thinking about, and I had my wife while I was driving, read about four or five times through Paul's revelation, his abundant vision and his revelations and stuff about heaven. And I was like, you know what? I need to talk about that. Because I talked about the liars, like Jesse, Jesse Duplantis, so it's a three-part series that I did on him. But what I didn't do was talk, what I hadn't talked about is Paul's vision and revelation, what happened with him. So thanks, Danielle, I appreciate that. Hope you're doing good too. So I thought, you know what, I think I'm gonna, I think I'm gonna talk about that and I don't have time on Friday, but I think I'll talk about that today. And the Apostle Paul and talk about him and talk about his vision. And then I wanna teach you some things that I believe the Lord has showed me through the scriptures about that. And I think it's pretty exciting stuff to be honest with you. So anyway, We're gonna go through that. We're gonna be in our Bibles all over the place. I've never done quite this type of Bible study from my truck here. But we'll see. By the way, just to give you an update, I'm giving people a chance to get on here, but just to give you an update, on our building, we are putting in a lot of, we're, getting things nailed down of how we're going to do everything. I enlarged the studio part of it. It's going to be a little bigger than what we thought initially. And my office is going to be, it's, it's going to be bigger. It's going to be pretty good sized. And I do want to maximize video capabilities. I am going to use green screens, I believe, and a few other things like that. So we'll go through and use a bunch of different things like that. And I want to be able to use the technology that the Lord has provided. So we're going to be looking at doing that as well, which is pretty exciting from that standpoint. So I'm looking forward to that. Somebody said, why man? What does that mean? Why man? I don't know what that means. I miss the old background. I don't have an old background. I don't have any background. I'm going to be in a new building. I'm putting a new thing up. Gotta change, man, sorry. I don't have all those. I can't build what I want because it's too expensive. I don't know what the old one was. I don't even know what you're talking about. What old one, which one? I don't know. I'm setting it up as a news desk, probably. I wanna set it up as a news desk. You know, anything that I can do. You have to understand, there's a reason I'm doing the green screen things. The reason I'm doing that is so I could do more videos and have more capabilities of doing things and be able to show different things. I want to be able to show you things while I'm talking to you about things. I want to be able to put that in the video while I'm doing it so you can visualize what I'm doing. Um, That's the purpose of it, is to be able, so you can visualize the different things that we're doing. For instance, I'll give you an example. If I'm gonna talk about, if I'm gonna talk about the pyramids, then the background, I wanna be like the Great Pyramid of Giza or something, right? So it helps to put the mindset in there. Or if I'm talking about like these New World Order people and all these other people and all this stuff, that I can pop things up on the background and I can have you see that and you can visualize that and think about what I'm talking about, right? Benjamin Perez asked how he could help. If you wanna give to our ministry, you can help that. You can pray, number one. We always need prayers. Number two, you can help. If you wanna give towards the ministry and give towards what we're doing, that'd be fine too. Whatever the Lord leads you to do, as far as that goes. We have somebody building, Daryl's building us a computer and all that other stuff. You have to remember, everything's gonna have my flavor. I'm not Pastor Hoggard. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not the same kind of person. I'm not gonna be a clone of any other man out there. It's gonna be different. It won't be like everybody else. It'll be rough and raw and rugged like it always is. It's just who I am. But I wanna use things, capabilities and things to help people more too. Well, if you wanna send something, you could send stuff to, Pastor Cooley at 1030 Highway 3 South, Northfield, Minnesota 55057. But you also have to, so that's 1030 Highway 3 South, Northfield, Minnesota 55057. But also you have to remember, I'm not just reaching you guys. I'm reaching the kid out there that's intrigued by the metaverse that's out there and doesn't know the truth of why the metaverse is there. The kid that's locked into the new world order, the kid that's stuck in that world and doesn't know why, doesn't know why things are happening around him. I can't type that out from here. If somebody wants to type that out in the message bar, I can't do it. I'm on my phone. But if somebody wants to type out the address, 10 30 highway three South Northfield, Minnesota, five five zero five seven. So anyway, Just remember, that's the purpose. You know, I'm not trying to be famous or anything like that. I wanna reach as many people as I can, but I don't wanna compromise the truth, but I don't think using technology is compromising the truth. No more than I think using my truck right here is compromising the truth because I'm using a truck, you know, but anyway. I don't know, that's the way I see it. And that's the way our guys see it. And plus, I wanna, I have so many videos out there, you guys, so many sermons out there that have no video content to them. And this is a video, I attracted world now. And a lot of those people need to hear the truth. Why do you think Hollywood's Satanic Roots did so well? Number one, God blessed it. And those others, why do you think they did? They did because God used them. Because they were, they gave people, they looked at it and they were able to see, oh yeah, that's right. So anyway, that's one of the reasons why. So I wanna set it up also like a news desk type thing. And it'll be interesting to see how we do that. But we'll be developing the studio. We'll be working on it. It'll be good. See, I wanna redo that one too ministry. I forget what your name is, but I know you and I cannot remember your name. You keep changing your name, but I know you. Well, Benjamin, I appreciate that. I'm glad you're able to listen to us. I'm glad. Um, Derek, Derek, how long have you been listening? Did you have a brother? Did you guys go into like a barbershop and preach and send me a video of that years ago? Was that you? This was like five or six years ago. Was that you that did that? Wow, into the light of Christ said that AA exposed video brought him to Christ, amen. Wow, praise the Lord. I didn't remember that or I don't know if you ever said that, that's great. That's wonderful, I'm glad to hear that. I'm glad to hear that. See, that's what I'm saying. That's why there's people out there, but look at you. You're a small number of faithful people that listen and support the ministry and further the gospel and all those other things, right? But you got reached. You got reached through those videos, through that. And then God saved you, some of you, and some of you were already saved, but you got right with God, but then God used that to bring you into listen, right? And then you had a craving for real Bible preaching. Amen. So, that's how God uses the ministry. You know what I mean? So that's why I wanna expand on those things, right? So it's important that we do that. All right. Well, we're gonna get into it We got 30 people on here about 30 and we'll get to go in here and we're gonna talk about Paul and we're gonna talk about heaven today Man, what a good subject right heaven We're gonna be all over the Bible And Yeah, Benjamin, I understand having a difficult time finding a church. It's pretty rotten out there. It's pretty bad. I always, how you doing Leno? Good to see you. I always try to encourage people to get into a biblical church, okay? I always try to. I don't try to make myself famous and people just to follow me, but I want them to follow Christ and I want them to be in a church. I want you to turn your Bibles to 2 Corinthians. I hope you have your Bible with you wherever you're at. You're like, what are you doing? You're not in church. You're in a truck. I know I'm in a truck, but we're gathered around the word of God. And oops, 2 Corinthians chapter 12, excuse me. And the Bible here, Paul is going to share some things with us out of the scriptures. He's gonna tell us, he's gonna talk to us about some things about his vision and his revelation. that he had, Paul's visions and revelations. It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord. I knew a man in Christ above 14 years ago, whether in the body, I cannot tell, or whether out of the body, I cannot tell, God knoweth. Such a one caught up to the third heaven. And I knew such a man, whether in the body or out of the body, I cannot tell, God knoweth. How that he was caught up into paradise and heard unspeakable words, which is not lawful for a man to utter. Of such a one will I glory, yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. All right, so Paul starts out. Paul starts out and he's talking to us about his vision and revelation. Now, Paul's vision, wow, that sun is really shining bright. I hope you can see okay. Paul's vision and his revelation were for the purpose to show that Christ restored what Adam lost. Christ restored our access to paradise and to the tree of life. That's what Paul's vision was for, because Paul doesn't even really explain anything to us that much. He doesn't really talk about anything. All that Paul does is explain to us what happened to him. You know, Paul is defending his apostleship here. The Corinthians had false apostles come in and they would accuse Paul of being fake. Oh, you're just fake, they would accuse Paul of. You're fake, Paul, that's what you are. Paul was accused of glorying and bragging. So he didn't want to touch the subject, but he thought it was necessary to talk about how he had those visitations from the Lord, being an apostle as he was. See, Paul was an apostle. Paul never saw things or recorded anything that was contrary to the gospel or to the scriptures in his vision of heaven. Never did. Paul speaks of himself in very modest terms. He speaks in like the third person, right, when he's talking, because he's not trying to brag. but this incident had a profound effect on him. And all these other ones, all these other ones were talking, all these fake apostles were saying that they had visions and revelations and Paul wasn't real and Paul wasn't a very good speaker and man, how could he be of God and all that? They just accused him of everything. He said he was caught, he said, anyway, so he speaks of himself in modest terms, not desiring to brag on himself. He says this, he says, in the body or out of the body, I cannot tell. God knoweth. He says that, he says that for a reason because Paul didn't have perfect clarity of what happened to him. In that sense, he wasn't sure if he was in his real body or not, or if he was just in his spirit body and he just went up. He couldn't tell. All he knew was where he was and what he saw, right? In the body or out of the body, I cannot tell. God didn't reveal it to him. So we're gonna get into some things here that I think are very interesting. Paul says that he was caught up to the third heaven. That word third heaven is only used one time in the King James Bible, and it's right there. He got caught up into the third heaven. unto the third heaven. He doesn't really explain that except he gets a little more specific with it. He says he was caught up. It was like a rapture. You know those words caught up are in the King James Bible four times. Four times. 2nd Corinthians chapter 12 verse number 2 where we're at in 2nd Corinthians chapter 12 verse number 4 Look at verse number 4 how that he was caught up into paradise He says he was caught up in Verse 2. He says that he was caught up Into the up to the third heaven up to the third heaven. He was caught up He was caught up to paradise By the way, this is more specific. He says he was caught up into paradise. The other one says caught up to the third heaven. So now here's what I'm gonna explain to you, okay? The third heaven is God's dimension. It's where God dwells. When Satan is cast down, which I don't believe has happened quite yet, permanently, he's cast down out of the third heaven and he's not able to go back up to the third heaven again. God's dwelling place in that sense, the throne of God, I'll put it that way, God's throne and paradise is in the third heaven, is the third heaven, that is God's dwelling place. So all of the third heaven, all of the third heaven is where God dwells, where eternity is, basically. Put it that way. We are in time, they are in eternity. So all of that, God dwells in, up there. Now God's everywhere, he's here too. God is a spirit, right? So we know that, but where his throne is, and where the afterlife is for those that are believers in Christ Jesus, up there in the third heaven. I believe that's another dimension. It's another dimension. But notice what he says here, more specific. By the way, let's look at that phrase caught up first. Let's go there. How about 1 Thessalonians 4.17? Let's go there. 1 Thessalonians 4.17. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so shall we ever be with the Lord. Caught up. Four times. Paul's was caught up. Okay, that's the third time. The fourth time is Revelation 12, five. And she brought forth a man-child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her child was caught up unto God and to his throne. There you go. Caught up is always in reference to you going bye-bye. Right? That's to go to where God is, to be caught up. Four times in the spirit. That's the number for the spirit, right? The four gospels. You'll get caught up if you're saved. by those four gospels, right? You'll be caught up, won't you? Amen. Caught up. Where will you be caught up to? The third heaven. Right? The third heaven. He says caught up. Okay, let's go back to our text. 2 Corinthians chapter 12. Okay. It says, one that was caught up to the third heaven and I knew such a man, whether in the body or out of the body, I cannot tell God knoweth. How that he was caught up into paradise. Caught up into. Caught up up to, caught up into. Right? So you're caught up. Here's the third heaven. Where was he at? He was in paradise, a part of the third heaven. Okay. You follow me? Now we need to look up another word. We need to look up paradise. Paradise is three times in the King James Bible. Luke 23, 43. Luke 23, 43. And Jesus said unto him, verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise. Let me back up a little bit and read verse 42. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. By the way, this kills all soul sleep. Those nuts that teach soul sleep totally obliterates it. Totally wipes it off the face of the planet and puts it in the category of nonsense. This is a conscious state this man is in. And Jesus said unto him, verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise. Now, let's go back a verse. I wanna teach you something else. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. Where's Jesus' kingdom? Not in this world. Jesus said, Not in this world. If my kingdom were of this world, then would my children, then would my servants fight? Jesus' kingdom is the spiritual kingdom. Jesus' kingdom now is in the third heaven. But the King's coming back. The King's coming back one day. Amen. Gamer Frost, I don't know what to do about that guy. I don't know how to stop him. He's using all my stuff, I know, and there's nothing I can do to stop him. Unfortunately, if somebody knows how to stop that guy from making people hate my guts even worse than people do for the gospel sake, I don't know. Maybe you guys know. But notice what he says here. Paradise. He said he would be with him in paradise. Be with me. in paradise. Amen. That's what Jesus said. So there's paradise right there. Then we have paradise in 2 Corinthians 12, 4, which we just read. Now look at Revelation 2, 7. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. Now we're gonna get into that, friend. You know I can't pass by that. I gotta talk about all that. So we're gonna talk about that. Paradise is in the third heaven, okay? So paradise is a part of the third heaven. It is not all of the third heaven. Why? Well, because the new Jerusalem, the new Jerusalem, the city of the great king, the throne of God, that, that is all included in the third heaven. but that's not the paradise. That's not, that's not exactly paradise. Paradise is the garden of Eden. All right. The tree of life, the tree of life, 10 times in the scriptures. Why is that important? because of where the tree of life is. Paul's saying that he went up to paradise. Well, paradise is where the tree of life is. And my opinion is that paradise is the garden of Eden. I don't believe God destroyed the garden of Eden. I believe he moved it. I absolutely believe he moved it. Okay, let's look at that. The tree of life. Let's look at Genesis 2.9. I hope you're following me here. I'm taking you through some words here. Genesis 2.9, and out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for the food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Okay, that's Genesis 2.9. That's where we see the Garden of Eden. I want you to turn to Revelation 2.7. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life. which, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. Right? That's where the tree of life is. It's in the midst of the paradise of God. Now back in Genesis, it says the tree of life was in the midst of the garden of Eden. So what happened? God moved, I believe, the garden of Eden. I believe he moved it to heaven. Didn't say he made a new tree of life. It didn't say he made a new garden. Paradise is in the third heaven. The tree of life is 10 times in the scriptures. It says in the midst of the paradise of God. Now, check this out. Go to Revelation 22. This gets even more interesting. Remember, you were barred from the garden of Eden by Adam's sin. You and I were barred from it, but Jesus paid the penalty for that sin. Jesus paid the penalty for that sin and made a way back in. He is the way back in. God didn't make a new garden. He didn't have to. He didn't make a new tree of life. His law was still right. Revelation 22, check this out. This was fun when I was putting this together. I had fun. I hope you're having fun. I had fun. Let's see. Did I have the wrong verse here? Let's see. Revelation. Give me a second. 22, two. Actually, let me back up to verse one. And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the lamb, pure river of water of life in the midst of the street of it. And on either side of the river was there the tree of life, which bear 12 manner of fruits and yielded her fruit every month. And the leaves of the trees were for the healing of the nations. Where was that tree? Tree of life. It's in the midst of the garden. That river flows out. So, here's what it looks like. I'm not gonna give you exactly what it looks like, because I don't know. But I'll give you what the scriptures say, and that's distinct enough, right? Look at verse number 14. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life and may enter in through the gates, through the gates into the city. So think about that. Here's the throne of God. So picture, here's the throne of God. There's a river that flows out from the throne of God, right? The river flows down and out from the throne of God. Down there, there's a garden. Out of the gates of the city, the river flows out of the gates of the city. So here's the city, okay? Here's the throne of God. Here's the gates of the city, right? The river flows out of the city into the garden of God, right? That's where it goes. So you have the third heaven, which houses all of that realm, that spiritual realm, right? Then you have the throne of God, the new Jerusalem. I got rid of him. He's gone. All gone, bye-bye. Can't speak against Jesus, you'll be gone. So, out of the throne of God, right? Here comes the city. That's where it's gonna come down from, out of New Jerusalem. New Jerusalem's gonna come down, right? Think about that. Then you have a garden. See the river that goes out of the city, out of the gates of the city, into the Garden of Eden. that's there, right? Think about that. Now, I believe when Jesus died, that he went down into the earth, he led captivity captive and he gave gifts unto men. I'm gonna show you the scriptures. Luke chapter 16, verse number 23 is a parable, okay? Jesus doesn't explain everything in parables to us Some of the things in the parables he doesn't really focus on because that's not the focus of the parable He has a specific focus and a reason for the parable But it says here it came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom the rich man also died and was buried and in hell he looked up his eyes being in torments and seeth Abraham afar off and and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and said, Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in his flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivest thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And besides all this between us and you, there is a great gulf fixed, so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot, neither can they pass to us that would come from hence. So in the heart of the center of the earth at the time was paradise or Abraham's bosom, you could call it. It may not be paradise. That may have been something different. God may have taken paradise to heaven, okay? But you have Abraham's bosom, all right? But Jesus said he would be with him in paradise. So anyway, interesting. but we'll let you think about those things. Jesus told the man on the cross that, he told the other man. Now, Abraham's bosom, which is a picture of those that were of the faith, there was a great gulf betwixt the two. The Bible says that he led captivity captive, right? Somebody said, how did nothing get created out of nothing? Well, God has always been. God dwells in eternity. God dwells in eternity. And God has always been there. Okay, I'm gonna finish my teaching here, because it seems like there's some devils that don't like it. What do you think? All right. That's Luke chapter 16, verse number 23. We see that great golf betwixt. Now look at Matthew 27. Gee verse number 50 jesus when he had cried again with a loud voice Yielded up the ghost and behold the veil of the temple was rented twain from the top to the bottom And the earth did quake and the rocks rent and the graves were opened and many bodies of the saints which slept arose And came out of the graves after his resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared unto many Now when the centurion and they that were with him now, look what it says here It says out of the graves after his resurrection And came out of the graves after his resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared unto many So when Jesus wrote when Jesus died on the cross when he came when he went down into the ground Came up he led captivity captive Which we're gonna get to Ephesians chapter 4 turn there and This is where I believe Jesus cleared out hell or cleared out, cleared out Abraham's bosom, took all of them to paradise or cleared out or took move paradise up to the third heaven. I don't know how he did it. I'll be honest with you. I have no clue really. Ephesians chapter four, verse number. 6. One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, When he ascendeth up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens that he might fill all things. He descended down into the earth. Right? That's what he did. He led captivity captive. Those Old Testament saints that were walking around bodily resurrected. That's what he did. Yes, he preached to the spirits in prison. That's right. Amen. I forgot about that verse. So I was putting this together. So in other words, basically what you see Paul's revelation is, is that paradise is in heaven. Paradise is part of the third heaven. Paradise is in the third heaven now. And I believe that's the garden of Eden. That's absolutely what I believe. I believe the same tree of life is there. I believe the same example is there for us today. I mean, God didn't have to make another tree of life. He didn't have to make another garden. There wasn't anything wrong with the garden. That's why Adam had to leave, remember? Remember this, Adam had to leave the garden. He had to get out. Why did he have to leave paradise? Because he sinned. And God said he wouldn't let Adam, that ground in paradise would grow perfect. Adam, remember what God said to him. Let's go back, Genesis chapter three. I didn't have this in my notes, but the Lord just gave it to me. Genesis chapter three. verse number 23 actually verse number 22 and the Lord God said behold the man has become as one of us to know good and evil and now lest he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat and live forever see that if he took if he took if he took of the fruit in the tree of life and live forever a sinner he wasn't redeemed Christ had to die for his sins. Christ had to pay his sin debt. Christ was the way back into the tree of life. Amen. Christ was the way to eternity. Christ is the only way to eternity, right? So then when we see that, we see the example of that in Genesis. He said, therefore, the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden cherubims and a flaming sword which turned every way to keep the way of the tree of life. He didn't destroy the tree of life. He didn't destroy the garden. The law was that flame, it was a picture, look what it says here. The east of the garden of Eden cherubims and a flaming sword which turned every way You ain't getting back into that. Only Jesus is gonna get you back there, right? Only Jesus will get you back. Nobody was allowed back in there except through Christ. When Christ told that man today, Shalt thou be with me in paradise, amen. It's right there. Pretty neat, isn't it? Now let's get back to Paul. Paul said he heard unspeakable words. You know, Paul didn't give any extra biblical revelations. There wasn't anything else he could say. Unspeakable words for a man not lawful for a man to utter you know why because it was angelic language It was the language of heaven and he couldn't utter it Paul's like I can't I can't put that in words. I can't utter that it's Which meant what which meant that when charismatics tell you they use an angelic language the other lion Because it isn't lawful to use It isn't lawful to use. At all. Right? Think about that. So when next time the cares, but they say, Oh, I'm using an angelic. Well, Paul said, it's not lawful. He couldn't even speak it, the language of heaven. Paul tells us nothing that he saw. It was John that reveals the revelation later of heaven, which I think I'm gonna do another broadcast on sometime or a Bible study on sometime and talk about what John saw when he went to heaven, when he had his vision of heaven, when John was taken up, right? That's pretty interesting, isn't it? That word unspeakable is three times in the Bible. Second Corinthians 9 15. Okay. We'll go there. Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. That's 2 Corinthians 9. Let's see, that is used again in 2 Corinthians 12, 4, but also in 1 Peter 1, 8. Right? Let me get there. Whom having not seen you love and whom though now you see him not yet believing you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory. Amen. Wasn't lawful for him to utter, right? Paul didn't have liberty to disclose heaven and what it was like. Paul, you note after this vision happened to Paul, after this vision happened to Paul, he says that he was humbled by it. He said the Lord gave him a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet him. All Jesse did was exaggerate about how good he was and how much God, how big his mansion was and everything else. That's the opposite of being in the presence of God. Paul was humbled by it. Paul was given a thorn in the flesh. Paul was never the same again. Right? That's the difference. You see the difference? That's the difference. Jesse's was just a bunch of pride and arrogancy. Had nothing to do with the scriptures. had nothing to do with really being in the presence of God or describing heaven. He sounded like he took a trip to Disneyland. Ah, Jesse? Oh boy! That's what he sounded like. Wasn't a biblical thing. Yeah, Joe, an LSD trip, that's right. Anyway, so I'm done, but I hope it was a blessing to you. It wasn't meant to be real super long or anything like that. That's who it was, that was Mickey Mouse. That's why I said it like that. That was supposed to be Mickey. Anyway, hope it was a blessing to you. Hope you learned something from it. And just some things to think about, right? Something to bless your gizzard, right? Make you think about it. Rejoice in what's to come. Yeah, that's my dog, that's Sheba. Sheba's the outside dog. She runs around and herds everything up for me. So that's who that is. Busters the inside dog wonder. He's inside and he's the puppy that he's gotta be inside. He can't handle being outside, it's too cold for him. But Sheba, she's a warrior. She sleeps in the garage and she's got a nice dog house in there and it's warm in there for her. And then she hangs out in my office with me. She'll be in my office with me anyway when I'm out there. But she likes to be around the men. Sheba likes to be around all of us and she's really, doing done quite well since we moved out here. She has fun and she helps me do a lot of stuff out here. So anyway, but somebody asked a question. I didn't see what that was. But anyway, but So you pray for us as we continue to press on with the duties and things that the Lord has us to do. And we'll be praying for you. And oh, she's a German shepherd lab mix is what she is. She's a mixture of that. But anyway, well, God bless you all. Take care of yourselves.

So, how can you take care of two dogs, seven kids, and a wife? Actually, they take care of me. Actually. Do you mean financially or are you talking about like, how do I take care of all them? Like, I don't know what you mean by that. I'm not sure what you mean by that. They actually take care of me. But as far as financially goes, the Lord provides, that's how. But yeah. But anyway, God's good to us. God takes care of us. He always has. So God blesses faithfulness to him. He blesses it. No mandates our way right now. The local mandates got shot down by people. So they got shot down. Anyway, well, God bless y'all, take care of yourselves, and you'll probably hear from me, I would say next week, maybe.
