MIKE: Well suddenly we were starting to get impressions, and to hear things on the inside of us that rose up. We started moving the gifts of the Spirit: word of knowledge, word of wisdom. We started praying for people, and people were being healed. I had an angelic visitation, or at least I saw one. I went to church at that point. We weren’t in the ministry at that point. We were just beginning. I watched an angel walk up behind the pastor, and just stand there, and spiritually just support him while he was preaching that sermon.
SID: That had to, I’ll use a term that teenagers use, that had to blow your mind to see this. I mean, this only happens in the Bible, it doesn’t happen in real life.
MIKE: Right, it did blow our minds literally, in the sense literal, meaning reshaped and changed our perception of everything. It was just so dynamic and so powerful, Sid, because the supernatural, we realized that we were both spiritual and natural beings, and that we could walk in both realms at the same time, that God would use us mightily.
SID: The thing that intrigues me to no end is I’ve read in the Bible about Paul the Apostle being caught up to the third heaven. Well, Mike was caught up to the third heaven. But, well for starters, define the first, second, and third heaven.
MIKE: My understanding, and what I teach, is that the first heaven is actually the physical universe, the stellar heavens, which I include the Earth into. The second heaven then is the spiritual realm. It is the spiritual atmosphere that surrounds and coexists with the physical universe. That would be the place that spirits operate and function: demonic spirits, angels, human spirits, Holy Spirit, et cetera. Then the third heaven is actually the dwelling place of God. That’s what we think of when we say heaven. Do we want to go to heaven?
