CommunionFire with Jesus this morning...

Bob Bonnell Comment: <3 Thank you Mary Wainwright Douglass

As I received and gently ate my piece of the Bread of Life in Communion this morning: 🍞 I saw a water brook... the same water brook in the woods... fresh running stream opened up to become a swirling downspout. It was Jesus standing nearby and looking contemplatively with approval... the water almost 'danced' as it made its way into the pounding, swirling phenomenon of glory...

Then In the wine of His most precious blood 🍷 from the center of the downward spiral I saw a geyser shoot up from the deepest part into the sky and saw the trees and mountains and hills rejoicing as the sparkle of the guyser released its blessings upon the wind and across the earth and onto people and homes and businesses and the whole world was rejoicing.

I realized Jesus was taking any situation in the natural wherever my lack of faith brings The Lord's blessing that creates a fresh babbling (laughing) brook flowing even in the woods of my interior to turn to a downward spiral that dances into the deepest parts of my life, my heart and my spirit when it reaches the bedrock of Jesus inside me then rises by His resurrection power like a gyeser of Blessing up into my heart, mind and body exploding into a mighty fountain of blessing that showers, sprinkles, and created rivlets and rivers of blessing within me and then through me so that others may be blessed by Jesus by the overflow of His Holy Spirit at work within me, and through me because of His life and love given in a small piece of a morsal of the bread of life and a sip of love from His new and everlasting covenant. All praise and thank to Jesus for His wonderfulness! Have a blessed day!

Amazing Day

6am Camille and I shared Communion and Communion's fire.at home
I typed and printed out our CommunionFire experiences to share with Joe, but The Lord had something else in mind
7am I met Joe and Dennis for prayertime and CF at Seaside Community Church
Noon Joe and I went to the Pastor's luncheon at Jimmy's Hibachi
1pm I met with Pastor Ronny Byrd to share about CommunionFire
at Palmetto Shores Church

Do This in Remembrance of Me

What does this have to do with communion? Jesus asked us to do this in remembrance of Me. What does that mean? We had never asked ourselves that question.

“Do this in remembrance of Me.” Are we to remember Him or are we to recognize that this is His body and this is His blood. Recognize the miraculous elements, realize that what is set before you at the table.

This piece of bread is set apart for the purpose of feeding us with the bread of life. It is no longer a common piece of bread. It is a holy piece of bread. Jesus said this bread is His body, His flesh. His body was torn and ravaged so that by His suffering

He makes us whole. If we eat it He promises eternal life!

The cup of wine is also blessed when it is set apart in His Love Feast. The cup has been given to us as the sign of the New Covenant God has made with us. Jesus said this is my blood. He shed His blood as full payment for our sin and guilt. If we drink it He says we are promised eternal life!

This communion is more than just bread and wine. It is Jesus. When we eat and drink from His provision it opens the door for Him to share His life with us.

Consider the following story of how faith was ignited just through the simple “Consider the Lilies” exercise with the owner of a local restaurant.

During communion one morning I saw Jesus on the beach. (I see Jesus on the beach a lot! I once asked Him why, He said “because that’s where you live.”) So, I see Jesus but there is something blocking my vision. Something is in my way. A large gray box is next to me and sort of blocks my vision. I asked the Lord what it was, it was a little annoying.

He said, “That’s where I keep my treasure.”

I thought, “Well, okay.”

Then I saw fireworks all over the beach. There were pinwheel fireworks and big umbrella fireworks!

Then Holy Spirit says, “His treasure is wonderful and He wants to share it with you.”

During the eating of the bread Camille saw a large banqueting table, ornate and filled with beautiful gold plates, fine linens, sparkling crystal. It was overwhelming to her. It was too much to take in. So she covered her eyes. When she received the cup, she opened her eyes, and Jesus was sitting across the table from her. He reached out and cupped her chin with his hand. “Lift your head and look around.” He said.

After a brief time of lifting our hands and giving thanks for what we had just experienced, we excitedly shared with each other what had just happened.

Camille said, “That’s amazing! I can’t look and you can’t see! I’m afraid to see and you have a blind spot.”

I got it. “Oh Lord, please give Camille the courage to open her eyes to behold all your glory and please heal my blind spot to enjoy your treasure!”

Then I typed it up in our Remembrance Diary. It’s something I do every day. But for some reason I felt the need for the first time to print out a copy and took it with me as I headed off to have another communion with my dear friend Joe Thibodeau. I thought I printed it out to share with Joe but the Lord had something else in mind.

Later that same day… at lunch, I met with a group of pastors for a weekly luncheon at Jimmy’s Hibachi. We all arrived around the same time and we would line up to order at the counter. As we waited in line we would catch up and greet one another. When it was my turn I turned around and saw a very lovely face.

“Are you Mrs. Jimmy?” I asked.

“Yes”, she said. “I knew you were because your husband said you are very pretty.”

She tilted her head and with a glint in her eye asked, “Well am I?”

I answered, “Yes. Yes, you are!” and she smiled.

I smiled back and went to my table. A little while later I took the task of refilling the sweet tea for a couple of the Pastors. I saw Mrs. Jimmy again and I asked her, “What is your name?” She told me, and pleading a senior moment, I immediately forgot. Was it Kendra? Kenzra? I couldn’t remember.

So I went back, a little embarrassed, and asked her again what her name was again. She said, “Kenza!” and without hesitation volunteered, “In my country it means treasure!” (I found out later she is from Morrocco, 99%Muslim)

My jaw dropped. “Really?” That’s amazing!”

I had to tell her what had happened that morning. I knew she was most probably Muslim. Would she understand? Excitement rose up in me and I went for it.

Then I told her about my experience in communion that morning.

I told her how Camille and I received Christian Communion. I explained that when we do this the Lord Jesus shares His life with us. When we eat the piece of blessed bread it is like eating His Body. I also shared that His body was tortured and torn that we might be healed. That it was pierced for our transgressions and that He shed His blood to forgive all our sins.

I hoped that I was being clear, though I knew I was only scratching the surface.

I asked if she had ever heard of Christian Communion. She nodded yes. Then I told her that while I was having communion I saw a large box where Jesus said He kept his treasure! I told her how Jesus wanted to share His treasure with me and that she was His treasure.

She was a little perplexed. “How can this be? How could this happen?”

I shared with her that Christian Communion is a beautiful gift that Jesus gave us so that we could meet with Him and spend time with Him every day!

Kenza asked again, “But how did you know?”

“But I didn’t know.” I said, “He knew I would see you today and He wanted me to tell you that you are His treasure!”

She smiled a big smile and pressed forward, “But please tell me, how did you do this?”

I told her that when receiving Communion Jesus shares His life with us. It is a gift He gives when we eat the blessed bread, His Body broken for us.

I told her again how the Lord wanted her to know that she was a treasure to Him! She gave me a big hug.

I went back to the table and then as I excused myself I shared a thumbnail of what happened at the counter with the pastors. Pastor Tom said “In Consider the Lilies in CommunionFire it sure is the little things that make the difference!” I thought to myself ‘pastor, you really said a mouthful there!’ With one word, “treasure” and a seemingly chance encounter, a lovely girl heard about Jesus.

I said good-bye to Kenza and asked if she would like me to come back and share more with her. With a big smile she said, “Yes, please.”

About 3 miles down the road the Holy Spirit reminded me that I printed out the “Remembrance” from that morning. (Again, I had never printed the diary entry for a daily remembrance before, but that morning I did.)

So I felt prompted by the Holy Spirit to go back to Kenza and read the actual testimony from the print out. I’m glad I did. As I shared the story more slowly this time – it clicked with her in her heart. She asked again “How does this happen?”

Then it occurred to me to share about the ‘Consider the Lilies’’ exercise. I said, “Kenza, close your eyes and I will say a word and then tell me what you see.” I said, “Flower”.

In less than one second (it was so instantaneous in fact and I thought that she had misunderstood me), she looked at me and almost losing her breath from excitement, said, “I saw Him coming to me with an armful of roses and He told me they were for me!”

This blew me away! It was the first time the Lord happened to show up during the “Consider the Lilies” exercise! We hadn’t had Communion but clearly the experience was still overflowing onto her from two earlier communions!

She was really excited by this. I explained more of the story of Jesus and asked if she would like me to come back to share some more with her again. She said “Yes!”

We learned later heard that Kenza was so excited she told others what had happened and tried to have them do the exercise too! Kenza went from one employee to another saying, “Close your eyes! Close your eyes!” The employees didn’t quite get it but they knew Kenza and appreciated her excitement.

She was ‘on fire’ and we hadn’t even had communion we were just sharing about it. What kind of power is this?

While working on the book, we literally ‘stumbled’ onto this very interesting scripture.

“I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name.” Isaiah 45:3

Jesus is the Rose of Sharon spoken of in the Song of Solomon

Song of Solomon 22:1-4

I am the rose of Sharon,
and the lily of the valleys.
As the lily among thorns,
so is my love among the daughters.
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood,
so is my beloved among the sons.
I sat down under his shadow with great delight,
and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
He brought me to the banqueting house,
and his banner over me was love.

Joe and I started working together to pick up and deliver excess bread from an overstock warehouse once a week. For months in those early days Camille and I were learning to live by faith. Through a remarkable series of events, I became homebound, unable physically to work and was able to stay totally focused on my new role as The Communion Pastor. It was at first an awkward title but seemed to fit our newly emerging ministry, mission and message. My only other job was volunteering with Joe to help with the weekly bread distribution! What? Yes the Commnion Pastor was delivering bread to the hungry and homeless and needy neighbors (Camille and I lived on this bread for months and meager groceries ourselves, as part of those in need.)

The Lord led Joe and I to start sharing Communion on various mornings and then after we started delivering bread, we moved the morning meetings to Saturdays at Seaside Community Church. This is an entry to the early days of those midweek morning gatherings that eventually became the Saturday meetings.

We shared Commnion at the church one morning and the vocabulary used in the journalin was developing so that we referred to the bread and wine as "in the bread" and "in the cup". This meant that the journal entry was documenting what the Lord would show someone and or tell someone something during the Communion experience.

Joe (In the Bread) shared this encounter one morning:

Jesus was in front of me leading. I could see the desert, rocky/sand road. The path was abouut 2 people wide. The walking path became smooth and the rocks were on each side. just beyond the rocks were dunes and vegetation. Then we were in a wheatfield and I saw Jesus waving his hands through the full grown wheat.

(In the Cup) Jesus went up and over one of the dunes and waved me along to follow Him. Then the Holy Spirit said in my heart, "Look!" as Jess spread His hands out across the sea in front of Him. I could "see" the sea too! It was calm and way across I could see the shoreline on the other side. There were no clouds and it was very bright now. I could see a city and it was shining. The Holy Spirit said, "This is what's in store for you!"

At the same time in my Communion, (In the bread) I saw Jesus and He was opening His arms to me and the sea was behind Him. (In the cup) Three times I heard, "Halleluia! Halleluia! Halleluia!"

After we shared a little bit we entered into a time of prayer and thanksgiving.

Joe said that while we were praying the vision kept growing. The one path became many and people kept trying to get to the Jesus path because only the Jesus path would give full view to the city! Joe said it was then the the power of God flooded his body.

As we kept praying people looking for the Jesus path found it and then more and more people began to find it.

Joe continuued to share with prophetic inspiration. "Jesus breaks the crust off of our hearts and bring healing and recovery. (Joe was releasing all his memories of bad stuff to Jesus. He said, "Jesus came to heal the sick! If you say you don't have needs then you're saying, "Jesus did not come for you."

Joe then concluded, "This morning's meeting for prayer opened up a path for others to find it. They too, will cross over to the top of the dune and see the city on the other side of the sea!"

The prayer we had in the spirit was amazing, wonderful and good! We really felt It was having Communion first that led us into spirit-led prayer and it was so right on!

Communion with Tori/Jayden, Virginia, Karen, Camille&Bob
@ FreshBrewedCoffeeHouse Saturday Night:
Discussion: "Jesus 40 day fast in the wilderness" (Lent)

Virginia
BREAD of LIFE: I saw (Jesus) sitting
"Amber Sharp" (straight back and strong) WINE of LOVE: I had a revelation of the Trinity (seeing Jesus fasting) - required deep understanding - can't explain but saw Jesus fasting and the mystery of the trinity opened up confirming the reality of Communion.

Karen
In COMMUNION I saw a fuzzy foggy look that became clearer and I saw Jesus embracing an endless crowd - hugging each one, one at a time.

Camille
In the bread I remembered Jess wearing a crown of thorns. Then in the wine I had a revelation from the HolySpirit. He said, "He did this for you."

Bob
I saw Jesus in the, the Good Shepherd, on a hill and His back was to me. He turned towards me and looked at me as if to comfort my trust in Him and i saw the words from the John Denver Song, "Follow me up and down all the way and all around"

PHILIPPIANS Chapter Two

5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

1) 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not a thing to be grasped to be equal with God:

2) 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

3) 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

4) 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven,and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Murrell's Inlet, South Carolina

Men's Group Meeting at Seaside Commnity Church
Monday Night

There were about 12 men who gathered that evening. CommnionFire was only about 7 months old.

We started with a cover dish supper that evening and Pastor Tim was supportive of this tender new ministry. Joe T. and I were a bit excited and nervous because we hadn't really shared about our Communion meetings or encounters with Jesus publically before. Joe shared about what Camille and I were experiencing in our daily home Communions. The Pastor was humble, caring and supportive. He had a Church of God background and his wife, Deborah, had worked as an editor for Vinson Synan who, as a Pentacostal leader had written a book that surprisingly reached more Roman Catholics than other denominations during the Charismatic renewal of the 1970s.

Camille and I had already visited a dozen pastors in the Grand Strand area of the South Carolina coast. We met with a broad range of denominations, independent and charismatic church leaders. Some were receptive but others just had what Camille called the "head tilt" response when we described "CommunionFire" to them and asked for their scholarship. It was a name the Lord gave us to use when describing what happened when we had daily Communion together in our living room. Pastor Tim was receptive and invited me to share on this particular evening.

Joe is an energetic brother who has a love for Jesus. He and his wife and Camille and I had lunch together after visiting Seaside church with them for Sunday worship. At lunch Joe and Peggy both had very clear experiences when we had Communion together at the Steakhouse on the patio. So, at Joe's request, I went to the Seacoast Men's Gathering the next evening.

He made the introductions during dinner and then to my surprise and delight, the Pastor said, "Gentlemen, we have a friend of Joe's here tonight who wants to share about something the Lord has begun doing in his life with his wife and with Joe and Peggy.

After some introductions and an exercize we call the "Consider the Lillies" or "Flower" exercize, we shared Communion together.

Pastor Tim, somewhat surprized and very excited said, "When I had the bread, I saw Jesus in the garden at the open tomb and Jesus said, 'I am alive!'

Pastor then announced, "Next October we must go to Israel and have Communion at the tomb of Jesus!

Then in the wine, He said, " I saw Jesus. He had been beaten. He had a crown of thorns placed on His head and I saw His blood dripping down." The Holy Spirit told him, "This was for you." By the time he finished sharing his eyes were red with tears.

Pastor was the first to share and then one by one each of the men shared their experiences. Over the next 7 months the men's group was a regular host to sharing the Table of the Lord. One night, we had a foot-washing, Communion and shared CommunionFire encounters among 26 men.

It was during this time that I started to keep a daily journal for Camille and I each day and whenever and wherever we shared about ComunionFire outside our home. 5 years later we have just begun the 21st CommunionFire Journal and have hand-written over 4,000 pages and almost a a quarter million words.

As of this year I have begun sharing the CommunionFire ministry on The BeBoldBelieveNetwork GoLiveDaily CommunionFire on Facebook (Live every day) and then I transfer each production to You Tube. We have just completed our 200th GoLiveDaily program!

We reach people all over the world and hope that CommunionFire is being ignited in the hearts, homes and house groups and churches all over the world. Please pray for us. We thank you for 5 years of sharing the warmth of the CommunionFire ignited in the presence of Jesus Christ at His Holy Table and made possible by His broken Body and pouured out blood! Thanks Seaside Community Church, Joe and Pastor Tim for supporting us in the early days!

PART ONE
Descendants of Noah - Shem, Ham & Japheth

Genesis 11
verse 10 These are the records of the generations of Shem [from whom Abraham descended]. Shem was a hundred years old when he became the father of Arpachshad, two years after the flood.

There were 9 generations from Shem and Abram was the tenth generation since the days of Noah.

Noah - Shem - Arpachshad - Shelah - Eber - Peleg - Reu - Serug - Nahor - Terah - Abram, Nahor and Haran <-firstborn and was father of Lot

verse 31 Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went out together to go from Ur of the Chaldeans into the land of Canaan; but when they came to Haran [about five hundred and fifty miles northwest of Ur], they settled there.

Genesis 12 see Part Two

Genesis 13
Abram and lot go their separate ways

Genesis 14
Abraham rescues Lot and defeats 4 enemy kings and kingdoms and rescues 5 'friendly' ally kingdoms and takes the spoil of victory with 318 men! It was lot, his nephew that was his motive for asking and finding divine deliverance. Then Melchizzadek, King and high Priest of Salem appeared bringing Bread & Wine and Abraham responded by 'tithing' 1/10th of all the spoils of war and did war no more! From then on The Lord dd all the judgment and warfare - from heaven! He intervened with dreams, angels, visions and other supernatural revelations blessing those who blessed his family and brought destruction on those who refused him or his people. In Abrahams life and the life of his sons, Isaac and Ishmael and Jacob and Esau we see the honor of god for the people He loves by covenant or agreements until the days of Moses, David, ELijah and the 1st Coming of the Word made Flesh - God become man giving Him the name Jesus!

Abram and Melchizedek

17 Then after Abram’s return from the defeat (slaughter) of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).

18 [c]Melchizedek king of Salem (ancient Jerusalem) brought out bread and wine [for them]; he was the priest of [d]God Most High. 19 And Melchizedek blessed Abram and said,

“Blessed (joyful, favored) be Abram by God Most High,
Creator and Possessor of heaven and earth;

20 And blessed, praised, and glorified be God Most High,
Who has given your enemies into your hand.”
And Abram gave him a tenth of all [the treasure he had taken in battle].

Genesis 15
God Promises Abraham son

Genesis 16
Barren, Sarah offers Hagar to have the promised son

Genesis 17
God creates the Covenant of circumcision to set apart Abraham's children from the rest of the world, begining with Ishmael and Abram becomes Abraham and Sarai becomes Sarah (the "ah" means the name of God so as to ratif the covenant of circumcision.)

Genesis 18
The Three Angels visit Abraham to announce that Sarah will give birth to the son God promised Abraham and to warn Abraham about the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah; Abraham intercedes for Lot and his family. 2 angels go to rescue Lot and family and Abraham. Type of Jesus and foreshadow of angels and deliverance of God's family.

Genesis 19
Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, death of Lot's wife. Lot and his family relocate, daughters get him drunk and sleep with him and one gives birth to Moab father of the Moabites and the other daughter gives birth to Ben-Ammi, father of the Ammonites. Type of the last days

Genesis 20 see Part Two

Genesis 21
Isaac Born; verse 4 So Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, just as God had commanded him. 5 Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born. Shadow of the Covenanted people

Genesis 22
Isaac on Mount Moriah as type of Golgotha

Genesis 23
Death and Burial of Sarah as type of Mother Mary? (Isaac)

Genesis 24
Bride (Rebekah) for Isaac as type of Bride of Christ, second coming and wedding feast of the Lamb

Abram Journeys to the Negev then to Egypt Blessed but Deceptive

Genesis Chapter 12

Now [in Haran] the Lord had said to Abram,

“Go away from your country, And from your relatives And from your father’s house,

To the land which I will show you;

Promise One
2 And [a] I will make you a great nation,

Promise Two
And I will bless you [abundantly],

Promise Three
And make your name great (exalted, distinguished);

Promise Four
And you shall be a blessing [a source of great good to others];

Promise Five
3 And I will bless (do good for, benefit) those who bless you,

Promise Six
And I will curse [that is, subject to My wrath and judgment] the one who curses (despises, dishonors, has contempt for) you.

Promise Seven
And in you all the families (nations) of the earth will be blessed.”

Abram at 75

4 So Abram departed [in faithful obedience] as the Lord had directed him; and Lot [his nephew] left with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.

5 Abram took Sarai his wife (age 66) and Lot his nephew, and all their possessions which they had acquired, and the people (servants) which they had acquired in Haran, and they set out to go to the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan,

6 Abram passed through the land as far as the site of Shechem, to the [great] terebinth (oak) tree of Moreh.

Now the [b] Canaanites were in the land at that time.

7 Then the Lord appearedto Abram and said,
“I will give this land to your descendants.”

So Abram built an altar (at Sheckem at the great oak tree of Moreh)
there to [honor]
the Lord who had appeared to him.

8 Then he moved on from there

Between the House of God and Heap of Ruins

to the mountain on the east of Bethel (house of God), and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai (heap of ruins) on the east;

and there he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord

[in worship through prayer, praise, and thanksgiving].

9 Then Abram journeyed on, continuing toward the Negev (the South country of Judah).

10 Now there was a famine in the land; and Abram went down intoEgypt to live temporarily, for the famine in the land was oppressive and severe.

11 And when he was about to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife,

“Listen: I know that you are [c] a beautiful woman; 12 so when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife’; and they will kill me [to acquire you], but they will let you live.

13 Please tell them that you are [d] my sister... so that things will go well for me for your sake, and my life will be spared because of you.”

14 And when Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that Sarai was very beautiful.

15 Pharaoh’s princes (officials) also saw her and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken [for the purpose of marriage] into Pharaoh’s house (harem).

16 Therefore Pharaoh treated Abram well for her sake; he acquired sheep, oxen, male and female donkeys, male and female servants, and camels.

17 But the Lord punished Pharaoh and his household with severe plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.

18 Then Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?

19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her as my wife? Now then, here is your wife; take her and go!”

20 So Pharaoh told his men concerning him; and they escorted him on his way, with his wife and all that he had.

Your Question
Why in Genesis does Abraham and his wife keep going into kingdoms and saying they are just brother and sister? Zeb 11/8/16

Abraham was called by God to become the father of His Holy People Israel. He did this by Agreements He made with Abraham. His intention was to have a people for His name that would have an eternal relatonship with Him. The Trinity of God is Love because God is love and He needed to extend the object of His love so He made man in His image. Man fell but God's love or him never failed. (The word "Man" is inclusive of all mankind; ie., men and women, mankind and womankind).

Man had to be given the free choice to love Him back but that did not change His eternal love for His created family. Man fell pray to the serpent's cleverness who manipulated Adma and Eve into thinking God's command not to eat from one tree He created, The Tree of Knowlege of Good and Evil.

God said they would die if they disobeyed this one little demand among the thousands of blessings, trees, produce and great provision He created for them to live in free of labor and filled with the presence of His love.

So for the next era of generation from Adam to Noah there was a progression of children, Cain and Abel on through to Enoch, Methusela, Lamech and Noah. (10 generations Genesis 5)

Father Adam actually lived almost to the days of Noah's flood so that he saw most of those ten generations. Then the earth was destroyed by a global flood and Noah began where Adam and Eve left off by his 3 sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth to create a people for His name. Now man was fallen and corrupt by the serpent's deception of Eve and Adam and Eve's disobedience. So, God created a covenant with Noah (the rainbow) to assure them he would not destroy the earth by flood ever again.

So from the sons of Shem came 10 genrations to the birth of Abram. By that time another set of fallen humanity had evolved through the sons of Ham and Japheth. God was preparing through Abram's seed to create then next event of the Patriarchs of the Hebrew people. This would lead to the advent of Joseph and benjamin the first and the last of the sons of Jacob, who both shared the same mother Rachel, Then through a series of events came 400 years in Egypt, the miracle preservation of Moses and 80 years later the release from slavery and Egypt of a nation of people destined to inherit the promised land establiished by the Patriarchs 440 years earliier.

So in the days of Abraham God gave him power to conquor the inhabitants of the land God promised to him. After defeating the enemies of God, Melchizzadek the High Priest and King of Salem brought bread and wine and Abraham dd war nomore. This advent of peace meanth that God would protect and battle for Abraham and Sarah, nomatter what the situation. Abraham was suspicious of everyone and knew that if he was killed Sarah would not survive and God's plan for a nation that would be a blessing to all the nations of the earth would perish. So Abrraham to protect himself and the promise of God took it upon himself to insure a future.

The first threat came from Pharoah's request to have the 65 year old "sister" of Abram, Sarai become a part of his 'harem'. God intervened and told Pharoah he could not have Sarai because she was married to Abram. So he dealt with Pharoah and Pharoah came to Abram and said, "Why did you decive me and compromise me with your God?"

Abram got his sister/wife Sarai back, plus slaves, livestock and treasures. Abraham points out that Sarai is the daughter of his father but from a different mother. So, in his mind, he was protecting the future of a promised people and a covenant with God. He no longer did war so he offered Sarah in place o taking up arms with Egypt.

The second threat came from King Abimalech of Gerar of the Negev. Abraham convinces himself that he needs to protect God's covenant and his life and the life of Sarah and leave the rest up to God. So he aske Sarah to go along with him and say that she is his "sister"! She goes along with him and, again, God intervenes. This time through a series of supernatural events that included an encounter with God by Abimalech, Sarah was returned to Abraham from a terrified king who met God. He blessed Abraham

So why did Abraham do this?

1) He was not Adam - He was a man whose faith counted as righteousness but still bound by the same fallen condition and sin of Adam + 20 generations of people who did not know God personally like Abram.

2) Though a man of faith, Abraham had been an undefeated warrior, and for lack of military tact reacted in despration to a circumstance he was ill- equipped to deal with.

3) The situaton with Pharoah, God directly intervened and for all he knew, was surprised that somehow Pharoah figured out that Abram and Sarai were married. There were no 'laws' of marriage in those days... but God made it clear that Pharoah's desire for Sarai was unacceptable.

4) With Pharoah Sarai was 64-65 yeas old and Abram was 75 years old. Somehow grandmom was still so beautiful that Pharoah wanted her for his harem. 25 years later Sarah was 90 years old and Abraham was 99 years old. On top of that Sarah may have been pregnant with Isaac when they faced off with King Abimalech, because Isaac was born when Sarah was 91 and Abraham was 100 years old. So at 90 years old she was still so beautiful that the King wanted her for his harem!

It is the failing of Abram/Abraham and Sarai/Sarah to understand the eternal scope of God's covenant promise so they reacted to their situation without 'violence' and not knowing what to do relied on their own intellect to 'handle' both situations 25 years apart from eachother. But The Lord did not hold it to their charge but to the natural appetite of those that had the power to separate and kill them before God could fulfill His promises to them. The enemy is always trying to distract God's family by twisting the situation n such a way we try to solve things ourself instead of trusting the Lord, His promises and the great love he has for those He covenants with.

5) How do we see Jesus in all of this? It is during their lives that Abraham meets King and High Priest Melchizzadek (perhaps an OT appearnce of 'the Word of God') alone, bringing Abraham bread and wine (the law of first mention for Communion as seen in the upper room with Jesus!

6) Then after that there were the three angels for whom Abraham provided bread, wine and meat in addition to supplies. 2 of the angels leave for Sodom and the other Angel (again a type or forshadow of Christ - and perhaps was another OT appearance of Jesus) is negotiated with by Abraham to 'save' Sodom. Are there enough righteous to make it worth saving? When the Angel said no, then Abraham interceded for His nephew Lot and his family to be delivered from Sodom before the fire fell.

7) What do we learn about the nature and character of God here? Abraham becomes the friend of God and they become "blood brothers" by virtue of a covenant that God outlines in Chapter 12. So in effect Abraham grows in his relationship with God and God makes him victorious over all the power of the enemy. Then, after Communion with Him in the person of Melchizzadek, Abraham gves Melchizzadek a tenth of all the spoils of war and does war no more. Now he enters another covenant when the three angels come and tell Abraham that Sarah will give birth at 91 years old! Sarah laughs but God fulfills his promise and protects her through the decision of Abraham to try and help God. Before the Covenant of a Communion meal God delivers Abraham from a half truth and after the Communion 25 years later He still delivers Abraham and Sarah a scond time; from the exact same decision made by fear rather than by faith 25 years earlier!

Old Covenant or New - the only transformation that can happen is from God's end. He loves us first, cares and provides for us, protects us and gives us a peace that ony comes from Him. We see this in both Abraham and Sarah's life and then in the lives of those who are his direct descendants even if He has to show up Himself to insure the safety of His Covenant with us!

When Jesus said, "It is finished" it was. There's nothing else He can do to save you any more than that. If you believe, He promises you eternal life and that He will raise you up on the last day. When we respond to His invitation to sit down at His Table to dine with him and upon Him, He gives us daily our daily bread and drink with enough revelation or his life and love that it satisfies our hunger and thirst, igniting our heart with His fire and passion to get through each day!

In the face of Jesus we awaken to His reality for He is truth. When we dine with Him by dining upon and drinking in His provison of Himself, it is to lead us into His presence personally so that He might fill us and flood us with the glory of His presence! Commuunion = Christ in you the hope of glory! Alleluia!

The Greater Glory of the New Covenant
(Ratified by the same meal that Melichizzadek brought to Abraham, that God provided to the 73 on Mount Sainai (Exodus 24) and by Jesus at the Last Supper or First Communon. Jesus said (John 6) if you eat my flesh and drink my blood you have eternal life and i will raise ou up in the last day!)

2 Corinthians 3:7-18

7 Now if the ministry that brought death,
which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory,
so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was,

8 will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?

9 If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious,
how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!

10 For what was glorious has no glory now
in comparison with the surpassing glory.

11 And if what was transitory came with glory,
how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!

12 Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.

13 We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. (The glory faded after his encounter with God)

14 But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read.

It has not been removed,
because only in Christ is it taken away!

15 Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.
16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory (as in a mirror or glass),

are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory,

(from glory to glory to glory to glory)

which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

"Give us calendar day by calendar day our daily Communion Bread of your flesh & Wine of your blood!"

Thanks be to God for His eternally amazing gift of Himself every day!

Cosmosian Christian Faith From the CommunionFire

11/21/2016

CommunionFire Word-Smithing: Cosmosian
pronounced: kaus-moh'-zian

The supernatural realm of unseen cosmos micro and macro - only accessed through ongoing true scientific theory and faith that is Communion-centric.

It is the power released in essence and resident in the bread and wine that has been blessed by Jesus Christ. By grace through faith of those who believe in their heart and confess their faith through conversion, conversation and tangible expressions of worship and missions of mercy, empowered by Holy Spirit baptism by Jesus Christ, can see and hear spiritually.

Science has been talking about parallel dimensions, parallel universe structuring and string theory upheld by the basics of Newton, Einstein and others. The bending of time or flat universes perceives that flt may not be flat but slightly bent as talked about through Steven Hawking and Michio Kaku

Occasionally my rant will include preaching that says "Cosmosian Theology" a kind of String theory, parallel Universe concept creating a need for cosmic theology.

What does this entail?

How about what happened between Genesis 1:1a and Genesis 1:b
Could that be the Ice Age or "Ice Epic"? before the Flood Age of Noah?

What about an antidaluvian people group?

PreAdamic race?

Come on don't tell me you haven't heard of these or how about...

Job and the ultimate barriers of time and space being broken through by level of vision that pierced through to see revelation of the first and second coming of Jesus in Job 19.

Rant: Jesus is Very Pro-Supernatural
So are the Creeds... In the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit... "I Believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth..."

What about the OT appearances of the 4th man or the Angel of theLord?

These are types and shadows of Jesus?

Or were thay actual appearances of Christ, the Word of God taking on the appearance of a man or Angel capital "A" ?

King and High Priest Melchizzadek?

The Angel and other two angels of Abraham to negotiate for the the judgement on Sodom?

What about Heaven's intervention with a Ram from God in place of Isaac, the type of Christ or the ladder of Jacob, which like Jesus revealed angels ascendng nd descending into the vestibule of heaven?

What about the 70 plus Moses, Joshua and Abner who went halfway up Sinai before the Law was given in Exodus 24 where they found themselves on a field of lapis lazuli - stone so clear blue they thought they were standing on the sky as they ate and drank with God?

There are so many episodes in the OT pointing to Jesus that we are working on another book to deal with this phenomenon.

Then what about Gospel fulfilment of the times and seasons of Jewish culture and law in the life of Jesus?

Mary, His Mother becomin Queen of heaven by Jewish culture and history? Or did you know abut that one? What about the early Church that had no New Testament Canon of Scripture for the first 400 years of the Chuurch? How did they possibly get along without aNew Testament? Ever hear off Jesus, the Word made Flesh who then sent His Holy Spirit to confirm the reality of His presence accessed through the bread and wine of Communion that Jesus called His flesh and Blood? Is Commnion just a symbolic act? Is it just a Memorial?Or is it something powerfilled from heaven, full of grace and truth like Holy Virgin Mother Mary Queen of Heaven and John's declaration as Jesus approached him for baptism, "Behold the Lamb of God Who Takes Awaythe Sins of the World!"

What about Sola Scriptura vs. Apostolic Succession, Liturgy and Holy Scriptuure that includes the Apocrypha? (There is the Roman version and the Easten Orthodox versions of the Apocrypha... hmmmm

The Cambridge Declaration of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals

The Protestant Reformation of the 16th century changed Christianity forever.

Roused to action by the corruption and abuses they saw in the Roman Catholic church of the time, visionary pastors and leaders like Martin Luther and John Calvin spearheaded a movement that transformed Christianity and eventually led to the emergence of the Protestant denominations that exist today.

The Reformers were guided by the conviction that the church of their day had drifted away from the essential, original teachings of Christianity, especially in regard to what it was teaching about salvation—how people can be forgiven of sin through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and receive eternal life with God. The Reformation sought to re-orient Christianity on the original message of Jesus and the early church.
The Five Solas are five Latin phrases (or slogans) that emerged during the Reformation to summarize the Reformers’ theological convictions about the essentials of Christianity.
The Five Solas are:

Sola Scriptura (“Scripture alone”): The Bible alone is our highest authority.
Sola Fide (“faith alone”): We are saved through faith alone in Jesus Christ.
Sola Gratia (“grace alone”): We are saved by the grace of God alone.
Solus Christus (“Christ alone”): Jesus Christ alone is our Lord, Savior, and King.
Soli Deo Gloria (“to the glory of God alone”): We live for the glory of God alone.

Let’s have a brief look at each of these five points.

Sola fide ("by faith alone")
Sola scriptura ("by Scripture alone")
Sola gratia ("by grace alone")
Solus Christus or Solo Christo ("Christ alone")
Soli Deo gloria ("glory to God alone")

Intercessory Prayer for God's People

The Crossroads Initiative is one of the great resources of christian Faith to evolve on the 21st Century Landscape of Today's Church. Dr. Italy, N.Y.Times Best Selling Author, and the D'Ambrosio Family have been a valuable resource in my life and I hope you will visit often.

This was a Campus Crusader who wanted Early Church authenticity - I was called into the ministry under the street preaching of this wonderful Man of God in Berkeley, CA in 1971. He was a founder of God's Love household for Street Christians, the publisher of the Jesus People's Movement called "Right On" and through an amazing series of transformations throughout his ministry He was a founder of The University of Orthodox Theology (now called St. Athanasius Academy of Orthodox Theology) and oversaw the creation of The Orthodox Study Bible before the Lord moved him to his new address in heaven. Thanks Fr. Jack N. Sparks, Ph.D The Witness of Jack and his estimed Associates from Grace Haven Farms, New Covenant Apostolic Order, The Evangelical Orthodox Churches and theis eventual assimilation into the Antiochian Orthodox Church of America is truely one of the Great Church Histories of the 20th and 21st Century.

Jess is a Wonderful Worship Leader. Here she shares how the Good Shepherd gave her direction and how her encounter with Jesus in CommunionFire impacted her life. (Note: Her CommunionFire story is told at minute 25 )

Luke 3:16 "He will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire." Ask Jesus to baptize you in the Holy Spirit and fire today.

Another significant influence in my life is the life and ministry of Winkey Pratney. His lifelong commitment to the study and application of Revival as both an apologist and polemicist raised the bar for me and he accomplished what I only dreamed - to Produce the Revival Study Bible. He has also been an intrinsic Man of God from the days of the Jesus People Movement and a part of my experience as a visiting teacher at Christ for the Nations in Dallas in 1975 and one of the principles in Y.W.A.M. Youth With A Mission that has had a direct impact on my sister, daughters, nephews and grandchildren. Thanks Brother Winkey for the legacy you have deposited into my life and the life of so many others.
