A Portrait of the Holy Spirit Paul Larson

God the Father is in the dimension of heaven with God the Son. God the Holy Spirit is in this world where he is busy interacting with people and events to build the Body of Christ. {Church} Decades ago "out of body experiences" were not discussed. In recent years that has changed. Books have been written which picture frightening scenes of hell. Other books picture glorious scenes of heaven. The subject of this book is mainly the Holy Spirit but it also describes an out of body experience. Nearly forty years ago I was in the Minneapolis auditorium attending a conference on the Holy Spirit. Then in a WHOOSH I was transported hundreds of feet above the crowd where I was deposited on the "lap" of a very large person. {More fully described in the text} When I was returned to my seat I was shaken by the experience. I was also impressed by the large size of the person. While writing this book I returned in my memory and discovered an overlooked fact. It was his clothing. When it was revealed to me by the Spirit I began to weep. I realized the clothing displayed his humble nature. It was not a "train which filled the Temple" or other magnificent clothing. He was clothed in sack cloth. The great I AM on whose lap I sat was dressed in "sack cloth!"
