Our Guest Mike Thompson
MIKE: The Bible declares that God is the creator of all of the strata and the heavens, and that he lives in the highest of the heavens. So that’s the third heaven realm, which as you mentioned, the apostle Paul referenced in 2 Corinthians 12.
SID: Okay, you’re at a prayer meeting. All of a sudden, did you leave your body? What happened.
MIKE: You know, at first I was not completely aware of what was happening. Paul even said, “Whether in the body or out of the body.” I was in that prayer meeting, and I sat down on the carpet, leaned against the wall, and I felt this lifting anointing, I called it, because of prior visions and experience and encounters. It lifted me up. I went through the ceiling and then through the roof. I was, at nighttime, looking down at all of the lights of the city. My glance went upwards, and I saw all these reddish-amber dull lights.
MIKE: I knew there was an absence of the glory of God so that they were demonic spirits that we were praying against for that city. Went right through those, and I found myself standing in the throne room of heaven with Jesus on the throne.
SID: Did it look like what you would have expected?
MIKE: No. No, it didn’t.
SID: What did it look like?
MIKE: What caught my attention at first was all of the sights and the sounds of heaven. There was a rainbow color, swirling mass of colors. They were deep, and deeper than anything I had witnessed on earth: sounds of talking and music, and things that I was unaccustomed to. There were angels that were standing around on both sides of the throne, because the throne was in front of me.
MIKE: There were a few beings behind the throne, that I couldn’t tell exactly what they were. I’d wondered if they were living creatures, I don’t know.
SID: Did it appear shadowy, or did everything appear as real as the two of us?
