I can tell you there has been a number of times over the years I have been healed of sickness both physically and emotionally by simply taking the sacrament of communion or the Lords’s supper while at home. For some unknown reason people think taking communion at church is the only way to go, but that’s not what the Lord tells us in His word. Let me implore you to take communion at home with your spouse and even with family members or friends releasing your faith in what Jesus did for us on Calvary.
In today’s world many Christians don’t attend church much for various reasons and most churches don’t serve communion but once a month so unless you happen to hit it on the right day, you wind up missing the sacrament sometimes for weeks and even months unless you take it at home. When you discover the solitude and quietness of home communion, your concentration soars on its purpose without distractions. Don’t let it become a ritual instead of spiritual obedience and covenant, as in some churches because it becomes mundane or something just to do as part of the service.
There are some guidelines for sure in the word, but turning it into legalism without sincere dedication in the participation of taking the Lord’s Supper can actually cause more harm than good. The guidelines are pretty simple as Jesus told us. ” and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said This is MY BODY which is for you, do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying This cup is the NEW COVENANT IN MY BLOOD, do this, AS OFTEN AS YOU DRINK IT, in remembrance of Me.” (1Con.11:24,25) So here we see to give thanks for the bread to bless it and understanding the cup is a new covenant in His blood. No longer do we live by the old covenant of laws because Jesus fulfilled the old covenant for us. By faith in His blood our sins are washed away.
Later on in the same chapter, we are told to EXAMINE OURSELVES, in other words JUDGE YOURSELF so you will not be judged, confessing your sins and weaknesses to God asking for forgiveness as you forgive others. The kicker is; you will eat and drink judgment upon yourself if you don’t and if you take it in an unworthy manner. Then it says in verse 30; “FOR THIS REASON MANY AMONG YOU ARE SICK AND A NUMBER SLEEP (died). The good news is (vs 31,32) But if we judged ourselves rightly, WE WOULD NOT BE JUDGED!
Please under this, do not put your faith in any church or denomination or any pastor or priest, but only in Jesus who saves your soul. Now that’s not to say don’t listen to sound doctrine and teaching, but it must be from the bible, not someone’s opinion. Study for yourself, and ask the Holy Spirit to help and guide you and He will. The Holy Spirit IS the teacher and not some ghost floating around the planet, but the very Spirit of the living God who resides in every single solitary Believer in Jesus Christ, the Only begotten Son of God.
Also understand this, Jesus Himself in Matt.26:27 speaking of communion: ” and when He had taken the cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying “Drink from it, all of you; for this is THE BLOOD OF MY COVENANT, which is poured out for many for FORGIVENESS OF SIN.” The King James Version says FOR REMISSION OF SINS. So we understand that only faith in Jesus blood shed for us is forgiveness of sins, nothing else, nothing at all. His grace given to us through our faith is salvation. “Believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved.
In the Old Testament in Isaiah 53 it is written ..”by his stripes your are healed” and in the New Testament in 1Peter it is written …” By His wounds you Were healed. Healed of what? Healed of sin and sickness. Have faith my friends, Jesus loves and cares for you no matter what your going through, have faith in Him and have faith that when you take the sacrament of the Lord’s supper you are spiritually eating the body and drinking the blood of Jesus who is pure and holy and our soon coming King.
If you’ve never done so, fall before Him and cry out to Him to forgive you and save you, confessing with your mouth He is Lord and then get baptized quickly to confirm your covenant with Him. Things are winding down on planet earth, are you ready? Stay faithful until the end and you absolutely positivity guaranteed without question receive everlasting eternal life with Him in heaven…….
