Chapter Two<br />

The Table in the Presence <strong>of</strong> our Enemies<br />

There is a great end time battle that is truly here. I know everyone I<br />

have been speaking to, even from other churches, have been facing<br />

warfare on some level. One thing I have commonly heard is “I’m growing<br />

weary.” This is certainly an age old tactic <strong>of</strong> satan to wear out the<br />

saints (Dan 7:25).<br />

What I feel in my spirit is this. There is a strategy <strong>of</strong> the Lord regarding<br />

receiving strength in the midst <strong>of</strong> battle.<br />

In the New Testament we read in Rev 2:4 the Lord himself says this,<br />

“Yet I hold this against you: you have forsaken your first love.<br />

Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent <strong>and</strong> do<br />

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

<strong>and</strong> remove your lampst<strong>and</strong> from its place.” What many do not<br />

realize is that the words “first love” can actually be translated “supreme<br />

love feast” in the Greek. This speaks <strong>of</strong> the Lord’s Supper. We know<br />

the scriptures in some translations say take communion as “<strong>of</strong>ten” as<br />

you desire to. I believe the fact that the word “<strong>of</strong>ten” was used, it implies<br />

taking it frequently. That is my opinion. The fact that the Ephesian<br />

church was neglecting the Lord’s Supper caused them <strong>of</strong> being in danger<br />

<strong>of</strong> losing their lampst<strong>and</strong> which speaks <strong>of</strong> the anointing <strong>of</strong> the Holy<br />

Spirit as we see in the Tabernacle.<br />

In scripture we see some great things are released at taking communion<br />

on a regular basis:<br />

1. A deep consecration takes place with the ones who take<br />

communion. We see this in Lev 6:18 when the Priests would eat<br />

<strong>of</strong> the sacrifice (a symbol <strong>of</strong> what we know today as communion)<br />

the Bible says they became so holy that even what they touched<br />

became holy.<br />

2. Taking communion applies the blood <strong>of</strong> Jesus to the door<br />

posts <strong>of</strong> our lives, thus bringing incredible protection to our<br />

lives. We first see this in Exodus as we read about the Passover.<br />

The blood <strong>of</strong> the lamb was applied to the door posts <strong>of</strong> homes <strong>and</strong><br />

the death angel had to pass over them. Also, Job would <strong>of</strong>fer a<br />

sacrifice daily for his family (which is symbolic <strong>of</strong> taking the Lord’s<br />

Supper daily) <strong>and</strong> the blood shed caused satan himself to say to
