Page 247 - THE REVELATION OF THE THIRD HEAVEN and THE MEAT OF THE WORD

As a mystery and valid contradiction in antinomy, there is predestination (Rom
8:29, 30, Eph 1:5, 11) with freewill (Gen 1:26, John 8:32, 36, Rom 1:19-20) in
God's process which finds its ultimate expression in the Second Creation.

FURTHER REVELATIONS FROM THE THIRD HEAVEN

The Toronto Blessing

Human actions and reactions such as falling down, fainting, sudden sleeping,
laughing, crying, shaking, groaning, trembling, shouting, screaming, and other
forms of eccentric or bizarre behaviour when displayed in a Christian meeting are
usually human (good or bad) reactions to the ministration of God: Gen 17:17
(falling), 21:6 (laughing), Num 24:4 (falling and trance), 16 (falling and trance), 1
Sam 5:3 (an idol falling forwards), 19:24 (naked prophecy), 2 Chron 34:27
(rending clothes and weeping), Ezra 3:12-13 (shouting and weeping), 10:3
(trembling), 9 (trembling), Job 4:14 (trembling), 5:22 (laughing), 6:4 (fear of God),
7:14 (fearful dreams and visions), 8:21 (laughing), 13:21 (Godly fear), 22:19
(laughing), Psalm 2:4 (God laughing), 27:6 (expressions of joy), 37:13 (God
laughing), 52:6 (laughing), 99:1 (trembling), 126:5 (weeping), Prov 17:22
(merriment), Isaiah 40:30 (fainting and falling), 66:2 (trembing), Jer 23:9
(shaking), Ezek 21:7 (sighing, fainting and falling), Dan 5:6 (trembling), 10:9
(sudden, deep, sleeping), Hos 11:10-11 (God roaring, trembling), Mat 2:11
(falling), 28:4 (shaking and falling), Mark 5:33 (fear, trembling and falling), Luke
6:21 (weeping and laughing), John 18:6 (falling backwards), Acts 26:14 (falling), 1
Cor 2:3 (Godly fear and trembling), Phil 2:12 (fear and trembling). They are not
new (Eccl 1:9). The point is that such experiences should, and sometimes do, lead
on to a trust in the Lord (Psalm 107:27-28, Isaiah 40:30-31).

Such acts, whilst not actual manifestations of the Holy Ghost (1 Cor 12:4-11), can
be a reaction to Him. God works in mysterious ways but then, so again, does Satan
(Rev 17:5, 7). Sometimes, such reactions may therefore be inappropriate or even
