TABERNACLE KEYS OF REVIVAL<br />

munion weekly as seen in Acts 20:7. This was already a pattern revealed in<br />

the Old Testament, as the Priests would eat from the Table <strong>of</strong> the Bread <strong>of</strong><br />

Presence weekly. I believe the current church is greatly neglecting the power<br />

<strong>of</strong> communion because <strong>of</strong> ignorance <strong>of</strong> scripture. This is such a powerful<br />

truth the enemy will battle this underst<strong>and</strong>ing from coming forth. As I move<br />

into the power <strong>of</strong> communion, I want to show how frequently the early church<br />

partook <strong>of</strong> it.<br />

A Neglected Truth<br />

In Revelation 2:4 Jesus says, “Yet I hold this against you: you have forsaken<br />

your first love. Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent <strong>and</strong><br />

do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you <strong>and</strong> re­<br />

move your lampst<strong>and</strong> from its place.” To even underst<strong>and</strong> the book <strong>of</strong> Reve­<br />

lation, you have to have an underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Tabernacle</strong> <strong>and</strong> its symbol­<br />

ism. The Lampst<strong>and</strong> speaks <strong>of</strong> the anointing <strong>of</strong> the Holy Spirit. Now why was<br />

this church in danger <strong>of</strong> losing the anointing? It was because they were for­<br />

saking their “first love” <strong>and</strong> needed to do the things they had done before.<br />

This is a very interesting passage <strong>of</strong> scripture. To fully underst<strong>and</strong> what Je­<br />

sus was saying we have to look into the Greek a little. The translation <strong>of</strong> “first<br />

love” is actually translated “supreme love feast” in the Greek! We can see<br />

that our anointing is in danger <strong>of</strong> being lost if we neglect the taking <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Lord’s Supper on a regular basis. I would suggest from scripture to take<br />

communion at least weekly. This is only a suggestion based on my study <strong>of</strong><br />

scripture. I don’t mean this to be a rigid rule. Now let me look at some bene­<br />

fits <strong>of</strong> taking the Lord’s Supper on a regular basis.<br />

Benefits <strong>of</strong> Taking the Lord’s Supper regularly<br />

1. A deep consecration takes place<br />

We see in Leviticus 6:18 that the priests that ate from the altar (a picture<br />

<strong>of</strong> what we have today as the Lord’s Supper) became so holy through<br />

that act that even what they touched became holy. We can walk in this<br />

level <strong>of</strong> consecration if we take the Lord’s Supper on a regular basis.<br />

2. Applying the blood brings a strong protection<br />

We also see in scripture that when the blood was applied to the door­<br />

post <strong>of</strong> the Israelites homes on Passover, the death angel passed over<br />

their homes. In the book <strong>of</strong> Job 1:9­11 satan saw a hedge <strong>of</strong> protection<br />

around Job, his family, <strong>and</strong> all he had because Job shed blood on a<br />

regular basis for his families’ sins. There is a hedge <strong>of</strong> protection that<br />

comes with the blood being applied to our lives.<br />
