HOW DO WE PARTAKE IN THE ACT OF HOLY COMMUNION
Remember that holy communion is about recognising the gift that God has given you. If there are any sin/grudge issues you should confess them, set then break bread with a clear conscience.
Also remember holy communion is not a ritual, there is no prescribed bread or special drink required. In the Last Supper, Jesus used whatever He had at the table—bread commonly eaten at supper, and whatever they were drinking.
1. Take bread....... Mark 14:22 "And as they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.”
HE SAYS CLEARLY: 'THIS IS MY BODY' AND 'THIS IS MY BLOOD'. AND JESUS DOES NOT LIE. HE DOES NOT SAY TO HIS DISCIPLES THAT HE GIVES THEM A PIECE OF BREAD THAT IS MEANT TO BE A SYMBOLD FOR HIS BODY ETC.
• "Thank You, Father, for the gift of Your Son Jesus Christ, who is my Lord & saviour. By the stripes that fell on His back, my body is healed from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet. Every cell, every organ, every function of my body is healed, restored, and renewed. In Jesus’ name, I believe and I receive"............... [Eat the bread.]
2. Take the cup....... Mark 14:23-24 (ESV) "And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. 24 And he said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many".
Its a promise of God to redeem His people, not by our power, but by His power. It is His blood that saves us. Not our efforts or work.
• "Lord Jesus Christ, thank You for Your precious blood. Your sin-free, disease-free, poverty-free life is in Your blood. And Your shed blood has removed every sin from my life. Through Your blood, I am forgiven of all my sins—past, present and future—and made completely righteous. Today, I celebrate and partake of the inheritance of the beloved sons & daughters of God, which is life in abundance, healing, forgiveness and unlimited provision. Thank You Lord Jesus, for loving me. Amen". [Drink the wine.]
