1:36: “God is with us. If God be for us, who can stand against us?

“NO ONE.

“THIS is the way. Walk in it. In the KNOWING that no one and no thing is more powerful than My People walking in the authority and power of My BLOOD. There is no entity in existence more powerful than My BLOOD. In Communion, you drink My BLOOD. Not a substitute, a mere symbolization. You drink My BLOOD – for this is what is seen in the spirit. My BLOOD carries the Life of God, for ‘the Life is in the blood.’ Grasp this – in communion you are drinking the Lifeblood of God.

“What more powerful thing could you do?

“Want Power to stand up against your enemy? Do you seek My Victory in a situation your enemy fights to control? ‘Eat My flesh and drink My BLOOD.’ Herein lies your power – if you would only have it, accept it. Do not lower the surpassing Power of communion by calling it a mere ritual, a symbol of My BLOOD shed for you. It is NOT a MERE SYMBOL. It IS MY BLOOD SHED FOR YOU. Therefore, take communion often. Take it every day.

“Notice the formation of the words. You do not say, ‘I do communion.’ You say, ‘I TAKE it.’ What are you taking into yourself? My BODY, MY BLOOD.

“Think on this. GRASP this. It is one of My Greatest Mysteries. I say again, My Communion, which I gave you and taught My disciples, IS MY BLOOD SHED FOR YOU. Therefore, TAKE My Communion reverently, earnestly. Some in My newly established church failed in this – and paid a price, even with their lives. I WILL NOT HAVE MY BLOOD DISDAINED.

“Take My BLOOD into your own body – and LIVE IN MY POWER.

“AMEN and AMEN.”

Notes:

How wonderful to hear God speak to us on this! Months ago–sometime last year–I was talking to the Lord about communion, saying I could not understand the Catholic belief that the juice/wine actually becomes His blood. And He immediately replied, “It changes in the spirit.” What a revelation! Of course this is how communion is viewed in heaven. In the same way–in the spirit–Jesus’ blood on the cross was viewed as the blood of the perfect lamb with the power to buy mankind’s redemption. In studying the Bible, I then realized that Jesus never spoke of eating the bread or drinking from the cup as a symbol. It is a remembrance–a reliving–of the real. This is, indeed, a marvelous mystery, and hard to comprehend. But we “grasp” it by faith.

Romans 8:31:  What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Isaiah 30:21: Your ears will hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left.

Ephesians 1:18-19:  I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe…

Leviticus 17:11: “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement.’

John 6:53-56, 63: So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him….It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.”

Matthew 26:26-28: While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you; for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.”  

I Corinthians 11:27-30: So anyone who eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord unworthily is guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. That is why you should examine yourself before eating the bread and drinking the cup. For if you eat the bread or drink the cup without honoring the body of Christ, you are eating and drinking God’s judgment upon yourself. That is why many of you are weak and sick and some have even died.
