communion

Communion

Communion may be taken monthly, weekly or daily for such reasons as spiritual adoration, church doctrine, forgiveness of sins, healing of disease, or for prevention of problems.

John Hampsch in The Healing Power of the Eucharist urges us to receive communion as a preventative medical measure to prevent future disasters of the soul, mind, body, or emotions. He urges all young married couples to attend Mass together for this purpose.

In America one can attend daily Catholic mass, even if one is not a Catholic. Those who advocate daily communion are Pentecostal pastor Smith Wigglesworth, English psychiatrist Kenneth McAll, Father John Hampsch of California, USA, American television pastors Perry Stone, Paula White, Tammy Fay Baker, plus Methodist John Wesley. Catholic St. Ignatius of Antioch referred to communion as "the medicine of immortality". St Augustine (who lived in the 4th century) saw 73 people healed at Mass and then realized that Jesus is now still practicing medicine as He was 2000 years ago. African pastor Robert Kayanja had his twin daughter take communion 3 times a day during her bout with terminal cancer. Paula White, on one of her 2004 television shows with Perry Stone as guest, shared with her audience the testimony that Benny Hinn's father in-law had been cured of cancer by responding to the promptings of the Holy Spirit to take communion daily. Some protestants contend that any person, who has asked Jesus to forgive his sins and has asked Jesus to live in his heart, is in fact a saint and thus, can give himself daily communion. Jesus in John 6:54 says, "Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day."

Catholics encourage us (when we pray the "Our Father" before receiving communion) not only to forgive (and release to God) the living, but also the dead; for they are the ones who have often caused a curse in our family blood line. This forgiveness often reverses the curse and begins a blessing in the family blood line. What an opportunity. What a privilege. The worst that could happen is that we would have peace instead of resentment. Not a bad trade. Scripture says that Jesus became a curse for us. On the cross He took all our sins and subsequent curses, past, present, and future. Each generation needs to (1) ask God for forgiveness of both his and his family sins and to then (2) ask for the blessings of His Holy Spirit in our present and future generations, obtained at the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 2000 years ago, available only for the asking.

For some, communion, receiving the body and blood of Jesus Christ daily or weekly, can do another miracle for those who believe. That miracle is for Jesus through His resurrection power to be our daily vitamin pill, our daily medication, our daily HRT, our daily organic food - anything that we need to keep us healthy, the same miracle that God provided for Moses and his people during their 40 years in the dessert.

Scripture says that Jesus is the bread of life come down out of heaven, like the manna that came down to Moses in the dessert. Well, most of us recognize the communion wafer as matzo or unleavened bread. Add a little yeast and you have a nice fat loaf of bread. Well, the Holy Spirit is leaven in our lives. What is the difference between water baptism and confirmation? Water baptism of John the Baptist gives us the Holy Spirit to be with us and take us to heaven when we die, but the baptism of Jesus puts the Holy Spirit into our hearts. Communion allows for forgiveness, but no power NOT to commit the same sin again. The baptism in the Holy Spirit provides that needed daily power not to offend God plus the power to battle and overcome demonic attacks such as from a spirit of heaviness, spirit of night terrors, spirit of suicide, spirit of death.

Scripture

Exodus 23:20 " Behold, I send an Angel before you, to keep you in the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared." Exodus 23:25-26 "And you shall serve the Lord your God, and He shall bless your bread and your water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of you. There will be no miscarriages nor barrenness throughout your land, and you will live out the full quota of the days of your life."

Deuteronomy 7:12-15    If you pay attention to these (spiritual) laws and are careful to follow them, then the Lord your God will...love you and bless you, bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land...will keep you free from every disease.
Deuteronomy 8:3    He humbled you and allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you knew not, neither did your fathers know; that He might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord does man live.
Deuteronomy 8:4    Your clothes did not wear out nor did your feet swell, these 40 years.

Psalm 103:1-5 Bless the Lord, O my soul and all this is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities: Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from destruction; Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies; Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Ezekiel 2:9-10 When I looked, behold, a hand was sent to me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein. He spread it before me; and it was written inside and outside: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
Ezekiel 3:1-3 He said to me, "Son of man, eat that you find; eat this roll, and go speak to the house of Israel." So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat that roll. He said to me, "Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your bowels with this roll that I give you." Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness. He said to me, "Son of man, go, get you to the house of Israel, and speak with My words to them."

John 6:53-58 Jesus said to the, "Verily, verily, I say to you, Except you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoso eats My flesh and drinks My blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He that eats My flesh, and drinks My blood, dwells in Me, and I in him. As the living Father has sent Me, and I live by the Father; so he that eats Me, even he shall live by Me. This is that bread which came down from heaven; not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead; he that eats of this bread shall live for ever."

1st Corinthians 10:20-21 The things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the table of demons.
1st Corinthians 10:23-30 KJV The Lord Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed took bread. When He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take; eat. This is My body, which is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of Me." After the same manner also He took the cup. When He had supped, said, "This cup is the New Testament in My blood. Do this in remembrance of Me, as often as you drink it." For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you show the Lord's death till He come(s back).
Whosoever shall eat this bread and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. Let a man examine himself, and so (afterwards) let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup. He that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep (in death).
