i connect with like looking at communion as snack time because i started taking communion
as a kid and doing you know sunday school whenever it was time for communion i was
just excited i'm like finally there's snacks so i mean i'm so grateful for the mercy of god because
i definitely did not do it with understanding in the beginning um but i think everything shifted
for me because even if i'm honest even as i got older the moment of communion just seemed like a
religious practice like it was like okay this is what we do on you know on communion sunday
but there was a particular morning though that i kept feeling this pulled by the holy spirit to
commute and i was like okay i'm at home this is not communion sunday it's not even sunday
and i'm like god i'm having communion by myself i don't understand that and so as i got led to the
scriptures i started reading even when jesus told the disciples do this in remembrance of me and it
really struck my heart that he was talking to people that had an experience of him they
had a relationship with him they had watched him they had to some degree an understanding
of his identity and it hit me that before taking communion there's something that it's pointing me
back to um and that is the identity of who jesus is what he represents to my life and it really
brought me to such a humbling moment because it it almost like it activated my faith for alignment
you know with where my life is and and reflects to in reflection to who jesus is and so as i
began to commune i began to pray even through the communion i said lord i'm in i'm in covenant with
you there is nothing that has the power to limit me because in this moment i'm not only remembering
your sacrifice but i'm remembering also your power i'm remembering who you are in your in the truth
of your identity and so communion to me is so it's so powerful that it brought me into that moment of
alignment with what god has spoken over my life and so i think coming into the understanding of
it really is a game changer yeah you know that's so true this morning i took it sitting by myself
in front of my fireplace so i'm one of those yeah that i'll order the box of communion cups
and um and matt and i take it as much but what i've kind of learned to do is because i mean you
could spend an eternity sitting here talking about what happened at the cross for us right jesus did
it completely he saved us completely holy there is nothing more to be done for our salvation
for our healing for our redemption anything he he took it all he paid it all so
joseph prince who is just i love listening to him teach about communion but he um has kind of taught
us all that if you're having issues in your body or or in your mind or anything complete complete
uh whatever your issue is he said take it like you would a supplement remind jesus what he did for
us we were to do it in remembrance of what he has done for us right he bled for us he took it every
every iniquity all the shame yeah all the guilt all the sickness all the disease he took it for us
and we do this in remembrance of what he has done for us right he redeemed us at
the cross he set us free at the cross so what i've done is especially in times when
maybe i need healing in my body i've been dealing with a lung issue so i've been doing this regimen
of vitamins and maybe a little therapy well i am going to take communion more than i take that
for sure right so every time i think about it every time i have a second i'll go in that kitchen
i'll reach into my little dish and i'll grab my communion i just walk in the other room kind
of by myself and i remember what jesus has done for me and i love that because it keeps my heart
saying you know what i don't have to deal with this because you dealt with it
fully holy and completely already i love what you mentioned even just like how communion is sacred
and it's also and it's personal because these are personal moments that we have with the lord
and that's why it's it really stems from that place of relationship you know i there was a
time that we were i was ministering communion for our church and while i was doing it i just felt
this leading to praying to healing now at the time i'm praying into healing but i was having severe
joint pains and then i was like lord even as i'm calling upon you because of the power of communion
i'm taking it also i'm partaking of this moment and i'm remembering that lord you're a healer and
you would do also for me what i'm believing you would do for those that are amongst us
and as i took it like instantly it felt like the hand of god just came upon me
and that pain went away and so it's so beautiful like as we are all sharing these stories about
just the power of god in those moments because it's about recognizing that he is amongst us
and it is the fullness of who jesus is there's nothing that can limit him
