This was the apostle who said,
"I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know--God knows." He was speaking of himself in the third person and not wanting to boast as it would appear if he spoke about himself directly.

The naysayers will protest, but this verse was quite anointed and impacted many a saint's walk with the Lord. The realization that Jesus was the life-giving Spirit within me was simply incredible!
But here is where Lee failed to boast in Christ ... and Christ alone. Lee began to boast in himself and his own ministry to the point that the anointing he had, became no longer a blessing but a curse. Theologically, he was bent on proving that all other ministers besides himself were degraded "
Tri-theists," and he himself had God-given license to push the envelope further and further until he became the "acting God" on earth.
