Let us fully understand the Love behind the Holy Communion!

Many Christians casually take Holy Communion without understanding the revelation of Love found in this Sacred participation.  We are to reflect on the Divine significance of this Sacrifice given for us.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

32 For God has proved His Love by giving us His greatest Treasure, the gift of His Son. And since God freely offered Him up as the Sacrifice for us all, He certainly won’t withhold from us anything else He has to give.

Holy Communion is THE solemn reminder of the brevity of His Sacrifice.  This Sacrifice opened the door to the Treasures of Heaven known as blessings provided for us as we walk in Holiness and faith.  If FATHER Loves each of us enough to give us HIS greatest Treasure, why would HE not provide other lesser treasures from Heaven?

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Malachi chapter 3:

10 Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in My House. And thereby put Me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of Heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.

11 I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil, and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the LORD of hosts.

12 Then all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight, says the LORD of hosts.

Am I saying that the tithe is associated with Holy Communion?  Abram received that revelation when he gave a tithe to Melchizedek after their Holy Communion.

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 14:

18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was Priest of God Most High.)

19 And He blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor of Heaven and earth;

20 and blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand!” And Abram gave Him a tenth (tithe) of everything.

Abram connected the tithe as a form of worship and sacrifice to Holy Communion.  This occurred centuries before the Law was given to Moses.  This act prepared Abram to become Abraham.

FATHER sacrificed Jesus, HIS only begotten Son, for our benefit.  Abraham was intending to sacrifice his son as well.

Moses recorded as well by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 22:

1 After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”

2 He said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”

3 So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac. And he cut the wood for the burnt offering and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.

4 On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar.

5 Then Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; I and the boy will go over there and worship and come again to you.”

6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. And he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So they went both of them together. 7 And Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”

8 Abraham said, “God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they went both of them together.

9 When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.

10 Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.

11 But the angel of the LORD called to him from Heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”

12 He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”

Worshipping THE LORD involves sacrifice.  In this case, Abraham was going to sacrifice to GOD by giving his only son.  Abraham proved himself in worshipping THE LORD by giving his greatest treasure… Isaac.  Abraham walked in the fear of THE LORD.

With this understanding, we are to treat the partaking of Holy Communion and reflect on the Truth that the bread and the wine represent FATHER’S greatest Treasure.  Not only that but also when we provide a tangible sacrifice of the tithe, we open ourselves up to blessings which will meet all our needs. 

Our willingness to give is actually meant to test our priorities: service to others or focus on one’s own needs and desires.  As for my family, we tithe every month, and FATHER has proven HIS willingness to bless our family.  I practice what I teach!

Let us fully understand the Sacredness of Holy Communion!

Many Christians might have an assumption that the Sacredness, Holiness, and access to GOD was more intense in the Old Testament, while the New Testament is more relaxed in our access to HIM through Holy Communion.  Wrong!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 10:

19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Holy places by the Blood of Jesus,

20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through His Flesh,

21 and since we have a great Priest over the House of God,

22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to Love and good works,

25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the Truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

27 but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.

28 Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses.

29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the Blood of the Covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace?

30 For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.”

31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God.

We are warned against taking Holy Communion unworthily.  The Blood of Jesus Christ is Sacred, and we must not treat His Blood in a casual, relaxed fashion.

 Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Corinthians chapter 11:

27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the Body and Blood of the Lord.

28 Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.

30 That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.

31 But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged.

The Holy Spirit is warning us about the Sacredness of Holy Communion and ignorance is no longer an excuse.  Taking Holy Communion properly is more intense than entering the Holy of Holies in the Old Testament.  We are not presenting blood of an animal sacrifice; we are presenting The Blood of Christ.

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Leviticus chapter 16:

1 The LORD spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they drew near before the LORD and died,

2 and the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron your brother not to come at any time into the Holy Place inside the veil, before the mercy seat that is on the ark, so that he may not die. For I will appear in the cloud over the mercy seat.

[3 But in this way Aaron shall come into the Holy Place: with a bull from the herd for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.

4 He shall put on the Holy linen coat and shall have the linen undergarment on his body, and he shall tie the linen sash around his waist, and wear the linen turban; these are the Holy garments. He shall bathe his body in water and then put them on.

5 And he shall take from the congregation of the people of Israel two male goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.

6 “Aaron shall offer the bull as a sin offering for himself and shall make atonement for himself and for his house.

14 And he shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the front of the mercy seat on the east side, and in front of the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.

15 “Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering that is for the people and bring its blood inside the veil and do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bull, sprinkling it over the mercy seat and in front of the mercy seat.

Aaron’s sons died because they did not treat the Holy of Holies as being Sacred.  FATHER demands that we treat Holy Communion with HIM as being totally Sacred and there is nothing relaxed or casual in this act.

Our only way to purity is through the Cross so we should embrace Holy Communion and its true meaning to atone and purify us from all our sins.  Partaking of Holy Communion requires unity of true believers, which can only come through each of us walking in Holiness.  When we properly take Holy Communion, we are all aligned together as the Body of Christ.
