60 Angel <strong>of</strong> Light<br />

Many scholars believe the early church was so looking for the Lord’s<br />

coming that they literally took communion daily. The scriptures seem<br />

to indicate this in Acts 2:42 as they broke bread daily. Even if that only<br />

means eating together, we can certainly deduct from Acts 20:7 that the<br />

early church took the Lord’s Supper weekly since you eat more than<br />

once a week! There seems to be a great revelation <strong>of</strong> Christ in taking<br />

the Lord’s Supper. When we take <strong>of</strong> his body <strong>and</strong> blood, he is revealed<br />

to us in a remarkable way. We see this in Luke 24:30­31 on the road to<br />

Emmaus, Christ was revealed to his disciples when he broke bread<br />

(communion) with them. The veil <strong>of</strong> flesh was torn open spiritually in<br />

their lives, their spiritual eyes were opened, <strong>and</strong> the risen Christ was<br />

revealed to them! The scripture goes on to say that we are transformed<br />

into Christ’s image by beholding his (Christ’s) glory. Communion<br />

seems to make a way for beholding the Lord’s glory by having Christ<br />

revealed to us.<br />

Personally the Lord has led me as a pastor to take communion with<br />

my wife daily as we enter into our quiet times with the Lord every<br />

morning. Also, I have been taking communion weekly with my church.<br />

I feel it is one <strong>of</strong> the reasons we are doing so well in the midst <strong>of</strong> this<br />

battle. There is none that are sick, oppressed, or defeated in my church<br />

as I am writing this. I truly believe that taking communion has a great<br />

deal to do with that.<br />

Some things I have learned in battle.<br />

1. Applying the Lord’s completed work on the cross by taking communion<br />

<strong>and</strong> burying it in l<strong>and</strong> that needs to be cleansed, seems to<br />

bring a powerful consecration unto God in that l<strong>and</strong>. It helps in destroying<br />

satanic works or removing demons from homes <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong><br />

by bringing a tremendous spiritual cleansing to that l<strong>and</strong>! Taking<br />

communion regularly brings health, spiritual strength, anointing,<br />

<strong>and</strong> protection from the Lord in an individual’s life, his family, or<br />

his church. This is because <strong>of</strong> what it represents. There is really<br />

nothing to the bread or juice by itself. It is powerful only when<br />

honoring, worshipping, <strong>and</strong> remembering Jesus in taking it. Be<br />

careful not to make an idol out <strong>of</strong> taking the Lord’s Supper. Some<br />

circles have done that <strong>and</strong> it allowed demons to come in. If we are<br />

not careful, God’s word, worship, prayer, revival, or even God’s<br />

presence can become an idol. Jesus deserves all our worship. The<br />

one true God deserves all our praise. He alone is worthy <strong>of</strong> it all.<br />

We should never worship bread or juice, but only take it in remembrance<br />

<strong>of</strong> Jesus, worshipping <strong>and</strong> thanking him for what he<br />

has done for us on the cross.
