THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. Part 32.

1John 1:7-10 (KJV) "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
2Corinthians 5:15-17; Romans 6:3-5; 8:11; 1Corinthians 2:7-8; 15:12-23; Hebrews 11:35;

Today we continue our study series titled THE BLESSINGS AND BENEFITS OF THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS to enable us to walk in the fullness of the resurrection power.

39. Another provision God has made to deal with our sins of omission and commission is the partaking of the communion. As believers we must learn to partake of the communion with knowledge and understanding of what we are doing, what it stands for and what it is supposed to do in our lives. If we fail to take the communion based on this understanding our sins will not be forgiven and we heap condemnation and judgement upon ourselves. Such condemnation and judgement opens the door for the enemy in our lives to afflict us. Instead of the communion becoming a blessing it becomes a source of affliction.

The bible admonishes us in 1Corinthians 11:27-32 (KJV) Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

The communion is our confession of our victory over the sin nature, sins of omission and sins of commission. The communion is a celebration of our covenant relationship with God through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. An unbeliever or sinner is not permitted to partake because He is not yet in a covenant relationship with God. But every believer is permitted and supposed to partake of the communion at all times as a type of renewal of the covenant with God in Christ Jesus.

Every believer is worthy to partake of the communion but he must not take it as one who is not worthy or unworthily. He must not take it just as one eating ordinary bread and wine but as one taking the body and the blood of Jesus with full understanding of what they stand for in his life and what it does and and is doing in his life which includes forgiveness of sins, healing, deliverance, long life and unity of the body of Christ. When we take without this understanding we are taking it unworthily not knowing what the communion is worth in our lives.

Such practice will change the communion from being a blessing to you resulting in sicknesses, diseases, poverty, demonic oppressions, spiritual weakness, premature and untimely death among believers. You cannot be partaking of the communion together as a church and there is unforgiveness and divisions among you which you are doing nothing to put to an end. Communion is our celebration of our oneness and unity in Christ. If there divisions and unforgiveness you are mocking the communion table and it will judge and condemn you. 2Corinthians 5:17; 1Corinthians 1:10-13; 3:1-6,16-17; 11:17-34;

The bottom line of all what we are saying is that God wants you to begin to see yourself in the eyes and light of all that the resurrection of Jesus has done for you and has made you. And no more in your fleshly natural sin nature so that you can begin to enjoy the fullness of the blessings of the mystery of the resurrection power which includes eternal life and freedom from sin, sickness, diseases, poverty, demonic oppression, fear, doubts, anxieties and death.

If you need healing the bible says In Matthew 8:17 that Jesus Himself took all our sicknesses and diseases. Therefore you can receive your healing now by faith in the name of Jesus. Just lay your hand on the affected area of your body and say this prayer. Father God in the name of Jesus I believe that Jesus died for my healing. I believe He took all my sickness and diseases on the cross. If He took them, then I cannot have them. Therefore I resist and I reject every sickness in my body and I confess Jesus today as my healer and I receive my healing now. Thank you Jesus that I am healed. 1Peter 2:24; Ps 107:20.
Now begin to do what you couldn't do before because of the sickness. You are healed in Jesus name.

Jesus is coming very soon. Are you ready? Heaven is real, hell is real. The time is very short. Choose Jesus today.
You can become a born again child of God today. The bible says If you shalt confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10; John 1:12.

Say this prayer: O God have mercy on me. I come to you today in the name of Jesus. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He died for me. I believe that you raised Him from the dead for my salvation. I accept Jesus in my heart today and I confess Him today as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Father that today I am saved In Jesus name.

If you prayed this prayer of Salvation, please go to a nearby bible believing Church in your area, so you can grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus.

Grace be with you.
