Bring Nothing to the Table

Come to Me all who are...

This is a time we stop everything else to remember Him. We have learned that this is not a time for Bible study, supplication, service or time for devotional reading. We bring nothing to the Table. We come empty handed totally dependent upon Him. This is about Jesus. It is time to come into His presence. We know He is waiting for us. We look to Him and listen to Him. Even one moment is enough to change our lives. CommunionFire is to be in His presence. 

Like the moment faith ignites when we are born again, we come to His Table to remember He is alive and with us right now. We touch Him when we break the bread as His Body, hold the cup of the New Covenant in our hands and drink the wine as His Blood shed for us. 

He has lead us back into fellowship with Him. He is the good Shepherd who prepares the Table for us in the presence of our enemies. Sitting at His Table, feasting upon Him, our blindness is healed and we see Him. We recognize Him. We come into His glorious presence. We are communing with Him. Encountering Him and hearing Him as He conveys the reality of His Eternal Kingdom. It is the truth. "You will know the truth (Jesus), and it will set you free." Encountering Jesus, we encounter His domain and grace.

It is Jesus. Seeing Him and what He wants to share with us is usually very simple and profound. What He shows and tells us comes from Him. Camille often says, "You can't make this stuff up!" because the things He shares with us are specifically tailored to who we are for what He has purposed for us. The Holy Spirit helps us to connect the dots and each experience is as profound as the day before. We have over a thousand pages of documentation in our "Remembrance Diary" alone. Now there are others in the area that are journaling their encounters and experiences in Communion and CommunionFire (the encounter). We become more confident in the reality of the King and His Kingdom every time we come to His Table.

When we first come to Him, He says, "Behold I am standing at the door of your heart and am knocking. If you hear me and open the door, I will come in and dine with you and you with me." Revelation 3:20 Then He says "I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep and they know my voice." John 10:1-18 He wants to lead us from our heart into His. "He prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies. He anoints my head with oil and my cup overflows." Psalm 23 He leads us to His Table. 

He meets us where we are, as we are for who we are and then leads us into Communion with Him. We meet with Him every chance we get to feast upon His life. Just being in His presence we are transformed. We "taste and see" the Lord is good! He opens our eyes to see Him and gives us the grace to recognize Him. When we do, our hearts overflow with His goodness and mercy.

The King of kings and Lord of lords wants to spend time with you! He meets us unconditionally. He invites all who are weary, hungry, thirsty, penniless, young and old. He wants so much to spend real time with us. That is why He came. He came to give us His life and to share it abundantly with us, He said, "I am the bread of life!" He wants to share His life with us more than anything. The miracle is seeing Him, knowing Him in person and growing in our relationship with Him. He loves us first. He embraces us first. That's where it all begins and always will be.
