Taking THE Communion.

[Behold]

Reader,

If you are born again, and you are not Taking The Communion, regularly... (everyday) then its probably because you are afraid of it.

Listen, if you have trusted in Christ then God has taken you, forever.
Never doubt God's Salvation, that is His "GIFT of Salvation" to you, the instant you Trusted in Christ for your forgiveness and Salvation.

Now... You probably read this part of a verse that is talking about taking communion...... "and many are sick ".... and you misunderstood it, or you were taught to misunderstand it.

Listen, ..
Taking Communion is giving God praise for His Son's sacrifice, and its giving Jesus praise for His Sacrifice.
We need to do this..........a lot.

Now, Lets look at what is keeping you from enjoying doing this.... for them both.

1.)""" whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, .."""

2.) ""for this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.""""

Now How do you take the Communion, "unworthily" if you are born again?

Well, it can't be done.. and the reason is... its the very blood and death of Jesus that has made you worthy to take the communion that gives praise for Jesus's blood and death that has SAVED YOU.
See, "by one man, (Jesus on the Cross) MANY are made Righteous""".... and the ""many"" is .. .= all the born again.

Notice that you are "MADE RIGHTEOUS"........by ""ONE MAN"".........not by your deeds, but by Jesus on The Cross.

The CHRISTIAN, is always : "made righteous".... and that is forever.
So, because we the born again, are MADE RIGHTEOUS by Jesus's Sacrifice, then we are alway made WORTHY by this Salvation... to take the communion as much as we want. Take it 5 times a day if you want......as you can't take it too many times., as you are giving God and Son, Praise, and you can't overdo it.

Listen now..
....... to take it unworthily, would be to take communion and you are not a Christian.......as in that case, you are not made worthy by being "made Righteous", to be worthy to take the Communion.

That's an unbeliever never born again, who takes it "unworthily"..

See it?

Now Lets look at """for this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep (die).."""

Now, many are sick who are Christians, who take the Communion... """"" not discerning the Body of Christ."""""

What does that mean ????....... It means that they do not understand that the Body of Christ and the Blood of Jesus has made them eternally worthy to take The Communion....so, = in a wrong mind... thinking that they have to be good enough and perfect enough by self effort (self righteousness) to take the Communion, then they are taking it wrongly, because they do not understand that God's Son's Sacrifice has made them always worthy to take Communion... always.

So, the same Christians who do not understand that they are "made Righteous" ..which makes them always WORTHY to take The Communion... will also have the same broken understanding of their SALVATION... that causes their prayers to be useless, and when your prayers are dead... (useless) then there is nothing coming back from God that keeps you well and whole and alive, as HE would have it for you.

So, the understanding that we the born again are "Made Righteous". FOREVER..... if you dont have this as your REAL FAITH.. then you feel unworthy to be healed, or to take The Communion.. or to get your prayers answered.........and for this REASON.....many are SICK and die.

See the problem?
Its a FAITH issue....where a believer's faith is WRONG>........."Broken".

Reader......ALWAYS BELIEVE = that Jesus's Cross has made you worthy always to take Communion, and to receive answers to your Prayers.

I don't find any biblical evidence that the Lord's Supper/Communion should be taken every day. Have you got a particular bible passage in mind?

Perhaps @DavidLamb ....if you read my Thread carefully, you'll find that i never stated that the communion "must be taken" every day.

Also, there is no verse in a Bible that says you shouldn't take Communion every day.

Now, I did say that if the person is not taking it daily, then its because they dont understand it, and are in fact, probably afraid of it.

So, you've already misquoted me.......misrepresented what i wrote.
I would appreciate it if you dont do that again, @DavidLamb .

What i wrote, is... that the believer is always "made righteous", by the Blood and death of Jesus, being imputed to them as God's "Gift of Salvation,'"" = that is the Blood Atonement,........ and because of this... we are always made worthy to take The Communion.
So, i wrote to take it as many times a day, as you want.... as this is always up to each person's free will to decide.

Now should we take communion often?> everyday?
Of course, as Jesus told us to do it., in "remembrance" of Him... so, that is to be taken literally, and so, we are to Take Communion.
Did he state that we are to take it everyday?
He did not, but it's implied that we take it regularly, and if we take it daily, as a part of our worship, then im certain that if you do, @DavidLamb ... you wont be "violating scriptures" or insulting the Lord.

Understand?

Now, Is it a commandment to partake of The Communion.
It is not.
So, Dont take The Communion if you dont want to take it @DavidLamb .
You decide.
Enjoy your free will.

I am sorry you seem to have taken offence at my post. Let me try to explain. I read your words: "If you are born again, and you are not Taking The Communion, regularly... (everyday) then its probably because you are afraid of it" and I thought you were advocating taking the communion every day. I apologise for misunderstanding you.

@DavidLamb ....I am advocating taking The Communion every day.
But im not teaching that you MUST..., as its not a commandment.........but it is Jesus's statement that we are to do it.

And by the way, im not a Catholic.......i dont submit to the idea that taking The Communion is literally eating Jesus. = (face palm).

So, why not every day?

What can be the reason that a CHRISTian, would say......>"well, we are not to take Communion every day".

Perhaps they just want to find something they want to argue about on a forum ???

Listen,
That is like saying....>"we are not to pray every day, or praise God every day".. "we are not to present our body as a living sacrifice to God every day"..

So, Christianity is not a part time, situation..unless the believer is just so very carnal.... and so, there are parts of it that we do... that i just named, and we should do them every day........including taking Communion and studying Paul's doctrine or perhaps reading the Gospel of John as that Gospel is very spiritual and it affects the person who reads it and meditates on it, differently the reading the other 3 Gospels.

 

[MA2444]

I heard a mans testimony one time that him and his unbelieving buddy went to a church service somewhere, maybe it was easter? And they both received the Lord and walked to the altar call and gave their ives to the Lord.

It was about a year later that the two friends got together again. The busyiness of ife just hadnt let them have the time to visit and stuff. But the man telling the testimony said that he almost didnt recognize his friend when he saw him because a year ago when he had seen him, his buddy was showing his age very very much. The wrinkled skin and all that but today when he seen his friend, his friend looked 20 years younger easy. He said whoa Tom looking good lately! and Tom answered right away and said, it's the Communion.

So he says huh? Communion?I don't understand...Tom said well after we accepted the Lord together I went home and began praying and reading my Bible and so forth and I read in the Bible about Communion and it said, as often as you do this do it in rememberance of me so I realized that Communion wasn't just for once a year at a church, it was for whenever a Beleiver wanted to so I began stocking wine and some Communion wafers and started partaking in Communion every day and that's the biggest change in my routine was I began taking Communion every day. So if I am looking fit or younger, then it has to be the Communion and nothing else...

I alway have been doing it first thing in the morning every morning and that taught me something. It wasnt about the handout of Jesus's blood and body, it was about Communion with our Lord and coming into communion with Him as our Lord, in spirit and every day.

That's what you did? The friend said? I am going to start taking Communion every day!


I dont know if he did or not, there was no follow up to the testimony, but that's what was said. The way I figure it, the blood of Jesus redeems us and cleanses us from sin and the broken wafer which is His body and flsh is for our healing and represents the stripes that Jesus endured for us because as it is written, by His stripes were we healed.

SO I went right out and bought me some wine! I stock it now and also ordered communion wafers. They only cost like 10 bucks for 1000 of them.

Now I admit I do not take Communion every day, tho I know I should. But I take communion a lot, at least once a week. and I'm always stocked up on wine & wafers. Sometimes I use Ritz crackers so if anyone ever stops by, I have enough for them to.

Now lets face it, I am a poor man! So the way I select my wine purchase it basically all about price! One time I got a particularly nasty tasting cheap wine so as I was praying about partaking communion, I asked the Lord to make the Blood be sweeter and of a good taste to me? And that time when I drank the Blood of Jesus, no wine ever tasted so good! That, was very cool. Praise the Lord!

There's something deeper to partaking in Communion than anyone knows about, I suspect. Oh it's wine and wafers in this material world but in the spiritual world something else happens that we have no clue about. It has to be I think because Jesus said enough about Communion to indicate that it is very important. Take that as you wish to...

 

[Behold]

There's something deeper to partaking in Communion

Its deeply spiritual... it is in fact Holy.
It is a point of contact between our born again spirit, and the Holy Spirit.
There is beautiful healing and revelation often found in taking The Communion.
Its precious.
