WE ARE INVITED TO TAKE PART IN COMMUNION AS OFTEN AS WE CAN
The Father invites us to His table for COMMUNION; to commune with Him and spend time in His Presence. His Divine presence entails perfect unison with our Trinity God, undeserved grace, unconditional love, surpassing peace, unmerited forgiveness, strengthening joy & blood-bought healing… He invites us to bring every ailment and worry, disease and quest and lay it before Him, as often as we need.
THERE IS SO MUCH TO RECEIVE & SO MUCH WE CAN GIVE
WE HAVE SO MUCH TO BRING OF OURSELVES IN THIS TIME OF INTIMACY WITH OUR GOD and THERE IS ALL OF GOD TO EMBRACE and RECEIVE
My husband & I have felt led to start having COMMUNION regularly in the evening, as we have received the revelation of His Table being laid for us to partake from, every moment of our existence. Understanding that God so LOVES US & that He gave us this prophetic symbol to ENTER INTO HIS PRESENCE through the RIGHT DOOR and to COME AND ENJOY the FATHER’S LOVE in order to find REVELATION on how to live our lives that will guide us to stay INSIDE HIS CIRCLE OF BLESSING and NOT open ourselves up … or wander outside the “boundary” of His Blessing.
ARE WE GOING TO KEEP THE FATHER WAITING AT THE TABLE?
KEY Scripture: 1Co 11:24-25 (Ampl)
(24) This is My body, which is broken for you. Do this to call Me [affectionately] to remembrance.
(25) Similarly when supper was ended, He took the cup also, saying, This cup is the new covenant [ratified and established] in My blood. Do this, as often as you drink [it], to call Me [affectionately] to remembrance.
REMEMBER ME
WHY WOULD WE USE COMMUNION EVER SO OFTEN?
Well just the mere thought of Jesus Christ, WANTING us TO REMEMBER HIM… make me think…. WOW … what a privilege to be able to have such a special connection with my God, that a symbolic action like communion can put us in such a SPECIAL intimate moment; where both parties share in the blessing and where all life, peace and joy can germinate from.
A VISION OF CHRIST’S ASCENSION
I saw in my spirit a vision of Christ… with Peter, John & Paul on the mountain of configuration. As the cloud ascended, Christ holds His hand out in a very affectionate way, in the same way that you and I probably would have done, if it were us going away FOR EVER… I saw Him doing this while He was voicing a last request down to His creation:
” DON’T forget ME! REMEMBER ME! REMEMBER ME! DONT FORGET ME! “
I saw a tear… and then a desperate urgency in His Spirit… BECAUSE He knew IF WE WILL FORGET HIM…. OUR SOULS WILL END IN HELL and our lives WILL BE hell ON EARTH
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO DRINK & EAT FROM HIS COMMUNION TABLE?
1Co 10:16 The cup of blessing [of wine at the Lord’s Supper] upon which we ask [God’s] blessing, does it not mean [that in drinking it] we participate in and share a fellowship (a communion) in the BLOOD of Christ (the Messiah)?
The bread which we break, does it not mean [that in eating it] we participate in and share a fellowship (a communion) in the BODY of Christ?
EMBRACE THE GIFT THROUGH COMMUNION
We are encouraged to EMBRACE the WORK of the CROSS; ALL THAT CHRIST DID FOR US, on a REGULAR BASIS.
Communion, symbolizing His PERFECT REDEMPTIVE WORK to reunite us with the Father.
TO PARTAKE IN COMMUNION IS OUR ULTIMATE SOLUTION and should be our CONSTANT RESOLUTION in these days.
At the end, all we truly need and can depend on IS His PERFECT SACRIFICE (God requires NONE MORE); His BODY that was broken for us and His Blood shed IS that perfect sacrifice justifying us FOR ETERNAL SALVATION and ETERNAL REDEMPTION. We are therefore FOREVER IN RIGHT STANDING with God because of the FORGIVENESS, LIFE and POWER of the BLOOD.
THIS will work for us ONLY if we UNDERSTAND & EMBRACE the GIFT
CHRIST DID EVERYTHING necessary for us to be able to live in GOD’S GRACE, PEACE and PRESENCE.
ALL that we need to do is to EMBRACE it and BRING IT INTO OUR HEART OF HEART’S FAITH, by DISCERNING HIM, HIS SACRIFICE AND ETERNAL VICTORY; by TAKING COMMUNION.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO “DISCERN HIS BODY and HIS BLOOD”?
- IT MEANS to take time at the feet of the Cross while giving the Holy Spirit an opportunity TO IMPRESS on our hearts the COMPLETE VICTORY OF THE CROSS, OVER the GRAVE and HELL and to make it your own.
- Here we are to COMPREHEND & APPRECIATE the FULL IMPACT of HIS RESURRECTION and the MAGNIFICENCE of HIS ASCENSION where HE IS NOW SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER; INTERCEDING FOR US CONTINUALLY.
- Discerning His Body and Blood…
should lead to a cognizant state; of being in UTMOST FAITH, UNWAVERING TRUST, UTMOST RELIANCE and UNYIELDING HOPE IN OUR GOD…. WHO WOULD NEVER forsake or leave us at the mercy of HIS adversary. (Read Ps. 91, 23, 121… aloud)
TO DISCERN HIS BODY & BLOOD IS TO KNOW:
He is fighting for us
He is NOT against us BUT FOR US!
HE is the Eternal GOD of Glory, Creator of the Universe…!! also living IN US… !
He is VERY, VERY NEARBY… AS FAR AS YOUR WORDS OF FAITH PROCEEDING FROM YOU OWN MOUTH
A CHILD’S PRAYER
Be humble enough to listen to a child’s prayer. A child’s Innocent Prayer, praying by the revelation of the Holy Spirit – without even knowing it – make you realize how much there is… HOW CLOSE GOD IS:
Liandri’s prayer at age 5:
“Thank You, Lord, for my family. Thank YOU for ALL the LOVE. Thank You for ALL the CHURCHES and THANK YOU FOR THE COMMUNION”
TAKE COMMUNION
Are there, fear, worries and stress in your life?
Then TAKE COMMUNION!
Is there thankfulness, joy, abundance and peace in your life?
Then TAKE COMMUNION!
Does uncertainty, heart-ache and feelings of rejection taring you apart?
TAKE COMMUNION!
IMPORTANT Note on COMMUNION:
What does it mean to drink in an ” UNWORTHY MANNER “
– This when you take communion without knowing why you do it,
– or when you take it in a ritualistic way… NOT DISCERNING Christ / Not understanding what Christ did for us on th Cross
– Also as in Bible times, they indulged on the wine… and ate the bread out of hunger.
We TAKE COMMUNION out of REMEMBRANCE of Christ’s Perfect Work on the Cross:
– setting us completely free from th kingdom of darkness… He brought us into His marvellous Kingdom of Light through complete forgiveness of our sins and redeeming us back to the Father into a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP FOR ALL ETERNITY AS WE RECEIVE CHRIST AS OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR….
KEY NOTE on Communion:
WHATEVER YOU are in NEED off TO BE DONE…. REQUEST IT, just ask!
– UTTER YOUR FAITH’S TESTIMONY, ON GROUNDS OF HIS BLOOD SHED for YOU & SEAL IT – IN THE POWER OF THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB …

CONCLUSION:
As you look down on that marked peace of BREAD in your hand & taste the sweet WINE in your mouth… REMEMBER HIM!
REMEMBER that IT ALL revolves around His LIFE, RESURRECTION & ASCENSION…. it all boils down to WHO HE IS. HE IS the beginning & HE IS the end of all things.
And that our prayer should keep Him in the center and our Focus to stay on the VICTORY on the Cross.
Speak to the problem about God & not the other way round
RELEVANT SCRIPTURES:
I COR 11:24-27, 29, 31 NKJV
” and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes. Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.
JER 31 V 2-3
…. Found GRACE in the WILDERNESS — Israel, when I went to GIVE him REST.” The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I HAVE LOVED YOU with an EVERLASTING LOVE;
Therefore with LOVING-KINDNESS I HAVE DRAWN YOU.
Jeremiah 31:2-3 NKJV
