Body and Blood.

1 Corinthians 11:28-30 NKJV

But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this reason many  are  weak and sick among you, and many sleep.

Shalom! Blessings and greetings! Its FUNtastic Friday! We always hear this word during the Holy Communion. But do we understand it? Let us pray. Abba Father, bless Your Word, as we partake of it, we ask that You would give us a revelation from this word. A deep understanding. In Jesus name we ask and pray. Amen.

We are always being asked to examine our hearts before we partake of the Holy Communion. Why? Because if we partake in an unworthy manner, with SIN is present in the heart, we are not making any good, but we are just bringing judgements to ourselves. It means, before we partake, we MUST repent and acknowledge the work of the Cross in our lives. We sin and we partake without repentance, nothing good is going to come out of it. We just bringing more pain to ourselves.

When there is sin and no repentance, and we partake of the Holy Communion, we are allowing the devil to bring condemnation to ourselves. SIN is the only reason many  are  weak and sick among you, and many sleep. BUT WHEN WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE WORK OF THE CROSS AND REPENT, no matter how big or thick the sin is, He is faithful and just to forgive, cleanse, heal and restore. The bread and the cup is a symbol of the Lords body and blood. His body was wounded and beaten so that we may have a perfect body - good health, blessings, etc. His blood was shed so that through His blood our sins are cleansed, so that through His blood we overcome the works of the devil. His blood and body gives us victory.

Therefore friends, do not take it lightly and in vain His body and blood.
