THE TABLE OF THE BREAD OF PRESENCE
3. Deep intimacy and revelation of the Lord
The fact that this revelation comes at the table would indicate a deep
fellowship with the Lord taking place. The body of the Lord was repre­
sented by the veil that separated us from the Holy of Holies. When his
body was ripped, the veil was torn in the Temple. Also the Priests of the
Old Testament would take blood in with them to the Holy of Holies to
apply to the Mercy Seat. The blood gave them access to the manifest
presence of God. When we take communion, there is a veil of the flesh
that is removed and we move quickly into the manifest presence of God.
I begin my day with taking communion at the beginning of my prayer
time with the Lord. I have noticed a major difference since I have been
doing this. I move more quickly and more deeply into God’s presence.
We can also see in Luke 24 on the road to Emmaus Jesus was re­
vealed to those with him at the “breaking of bread.” There seems to be
something in Jesus’ parables about “knowing him” that prepares us for
the rapture and even making heaven. The Jews ate Passover in haste
with staff in hand. They ate it ready to leave quickly. There seems to be
a link to being ready for the rapture, being intimate with Jesus, and tak­
ing communion. There is even life released as we “eat his flesh and
drink his blood” as seen in John 6:44­58.
4. Removing the yeast
In scripture yeast many times speaks of sin. In 1 Corinthians 5:7 the
yeast was commanded to be removed from the church and Paul con­
nected it with “keeping the feast.” I personally have witnessed this. At
the church I pastor, we take communion weekly. There was a young
lady that started coming that was trouble. She took communion with us.
Before I even had to address problems the Lord supernaturally removed
her from our fellowship. She had an issue with sexual sin. Taking the
communion as a church “removed the yeast” from among us. There is a
cleansing that takes place in taking communion. This leads me to a
point. Many have been so scared to take communion based on the
scripture about examining ourselves so we do get sick or die early. I
have studied that intently. I have found it has been very misread by
some. The “discerning” of the Lord’s body has to do with what he paid
for on the cross. For example, Jesus body paid for our healing, and his
blood paid for our sins. There have been many healed when taking
communion, because they remember what Jesus did for them on the
cross. Those that take communion remembering what the Lord did for
them will be healed and live out the full number of years God has for
them. Many neglect this and get sick or die early! If we read 1 Corin­
thians 11:23­24 in context the Corinthian church was feasting and get­
ting drunk at the Lord’s table. Some weren’t eating this bread and drink­
ing the wine as the Lord’s Supper, but only because they were hungry.
So they did not get the benefits of Communion. They were taking it in an
unworthy or disrespectful manner by not giving it the proper honor of ac­
