Can You Identify Your Golden Calves? What Keeps You From The Table of Communion with the Lord?
We ALL have "Olatries"! You, me and everyone in between. What's yours? What keeps you away from your relationship with Jesus? What keeps you from having deepening Communion on a regular basis? What hinders you from responding to His invitation to "Do this"? He is waiting at a Table He has prepared just for you so that He can pour out His love and life to you! 

Bibliolatry: 
When written Scripture becomes more important than your relationship (Communion) with Jesus the Logos/living Word of God. As in Bible study, teaching, preaching, memorization of God's written Word replaces a Communion-centric/Christ-centered, life of faith. In other words: Is Communion with Jesus the hub of all aspects of your Christian devotion.

Ritualolatry: When function of ritual distracts from the real relationship/presence of the Lord in Communion. As in going through the motions without an active Communion with the Lord and the Holy Spirit. In other words - have you lost your passion for Communion with the Lord?  

It is just like Addiction-olatry, Success-olatry, Money-olatry, Greed-olatry, Sin-olatry, Vanity-olatry are tactics used by evil to keep you from knowing the love of Jesus and His power to give you new life. 

For the believer we encounter Bibli-olatry, Ritual-olatry, Prayer-olatry, Self-olatry, Worship-olatry, Discipleship-olatry, Media-olatry and the list is never ending. 

Well-intentioned, religious 'practices', anything that you feel you must be self-employed to do to "have Communion with the Lord" is an "Olatry" - as in "id-olatry". We simply cannot work our way into the presence of the Lord. We cannot study our way into the presence of the Lord. We cannot pray our way into the presence of the Lord. We cannot mission our way into the presence of the Lord. We don't "make the presence of the Lord happen by our will, determination and strength"

The glory and presence of the Lord through Communion, like His all-sufficient gift of grace 
and the gift of the Holy Spirit is a gift  of heaven to each of us as well!

Communion Opens Our Eyes to Recognize Jesus and Prepare Us for the Wedding Feast of the Lamb
God does not hold a report card on you when it comes to having enough merit badges to get a pass into His presence. It is the gift of God lest any man should boast. He invites us to His Table. In fact He invites all who will come! In the end of days He sends His friends out to "Compel them" to come!" He wants every seat filled. He said the religious would be "too busy" with the rewards of their 'self-effort' to come. Jesus said the King sent those already at His Table to go and get the halt, the blind, the lame and bring them to my Table. He was speaking of those who could not get there on their own. He invites - the children and says do not prevent them, those who have no money - those who are hungry and thirsty - all who labor and are overburdened. Labor to enter the rest of the Lord! "If we rest, He works" - perhaps then if "we work, He rests". Then the people say, 'Lord we have done s you have asked but there are still more empty seats!" The King tells them to go into the highways and byways and "compel them" to come! I want my house to be full!"  Luke 14:15-24, Matthew 22:1-14, Matthew 13:24-29, 36-43, 25:1-13

In and of "our own strength" is part of the strategy of evil to dissuade us from knowing the power of Communion with the Lord. Gifts are given to receive! You can't earn them!

Once in Communion I saw the Lord sitting at a garden on a beautiful day with a 4 year old friend named Anna. A Bunny hopped past them and then a frog. Jesus was smiling as was Anna. Then I saw my youngest grand daughter walk up and she looked at me and said, "I want to be with Jesus like Anna!" I said, "You go ahead and sit down and look at how happy Jesus is to see you too!" The Holy Spirit then whispered in the cup, "His yoke is easy and His burden is light." With that i understood that the yoke was to sit down at the Garden with them and the burden was to just enjoy the moment! That's how it is in Communion. We eat and He shares His life and happiness with us. If we are not sitting down at the Lord's Table to enjoy the life He wants to share with us then something is an "Olatry" in our lives! Communion with Him is why He came, lived among us, suffered, died, rose and ascended! He wants to share His life with you! Not just the moment you ask Him into your heart but every day! He provides the means through Communion to see you! When He sees you and you see Him Communion happens! His presence transforms our life!

How to be set free from ANY OLATRY in your life: 

Take a piece of bread and a sip of wine and 
ask the Lord to bless it as His Body and His Blood. 
Eat the Bread of Life and see Him - eyes closed - lets you see with the eyes of the spirit. 
Drink the Cup of Salvation and hear Him - eyes closed - lets you hear with the ears of your spirit.

Write down or think about what He shared with you in those few quiet moments. 

If not alone share with each other what you encountered. What you saw, heard, sensed or felt. When you do you have become a witness to the Testimony of Jesus.

When you do this all your Olatries will immediately disappear as the glory of the Lord quickly comes into your heart and mind. The "olatries" lose their grip. The power of the presence of the Lord will cause the enemy to scatter like darkness by the light or death and sickness by His life. Those who the Son sets free are free indeed. Our relationship with Him through His gift of the Eucharist to bring us into Communion with Him reveals His glory! When we encounter Him we are transformed from glory to glory!

Remember, He prepares His Table for you in the presence of your enemies. When you feast on His presence He anoints your head with the oil of gladness and revelation. As you drink from the never ending well of His salvation you are made new all over again. Every day with Jesus is better than the day before. Its that simple and that wonderful. Come to the Table. Sit down and eat and feast on His presence right there where you are. He comes to you to share something. Whatever He shares it is the sharing of His life with you. Jesus becomes your story. Drink in His salvation and realize you are clean through His blood of all sin, guilt, shame and condemnation. The law of the Spirit of life has set you free from the law of sin and death. It IS no longer you who lives, but Jesus who lives in you! When you drink from the cup of the new and everlasting covenant it causes a wellspring of life to overflow like a river in you and through you. 

"My the glory of the Lord cover your life as the waters cover the sea!" The peace of the Lord be with you!

    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.

    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.
