CommunionFire Morning Overflow "The Seder & The Supper"

The Passover Lamb and The Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world.

Camille and I had Communion this morning as we always do.

It is always a remarkable... in fact a miraculous time. Communion is such  wonderful gift of grace where we drink from the wells of salvation!

This morning in the bread I heard the Holy Spirit say, "He is speaking to Camille." (What that meant to me was that Jesus was sharing something with Camille that was meant for the both of us. Then in the wine I had that peace (Scott calls it the "Super Peace") that passes understanding. I just sat there enveloped by it.

Camille shared that in both the bread and the cup there was a physical manifestation like tingling on the surface of both arms. She said the Lord means for us to understand that Communion is a physical meal and that it has not just spiritual and mental benefits but also physical.

Then she began to talk by the power of the Holy Spirit. 

Camille said, "Its interesting that the children of Israel had to befriend and then slay a lamb the day of Passover in each home. It was a "House to House" event! The blood had to be on the doorposts of each home and each home had to eat the whole lamb! In some cases neighbors shared a household and even Egyptians who looked for refuge were welcomed inside. There was no Rabbi. There was no synagogue or temple. 

The same was with the early Church. They met having Communion in their homes and from house to house. 

Jesus prepared the disciples in Capernaum (John 6) for what would happen years later in the Upper Room for the first Communion (Matthew 26:17-30, Mark 14:12-26 and Luke 22:7-38). There Jesus shared the last Passover and introduced the New Covenant Meal by sharing the First Communion. Then He spoke about it at length and then prayed for its fulfillment and continuance. (John 13-17). Then after the Holy Spirit was sent to the Church in that same Upper Room (Acts 1-2) the new people of God had Communion from house to house. It was a celebration of the Pascal Lamb, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. They were 'showing the Lord's death' to the rest of the world in the same way that Israel showed the blood of the lamb on their doorposts. They became "the Lord's doorposts" indicating that this is a house of refuge! This is where the blood of Jesus caused the spirit of the law and of death to pass over them while they were made alive by the bread of heaven and wine of the Holy Spirit - the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead!" 

We are learning that Communion is  best shared at home with the family like a daily Seder and then also from house to house with brothers and sisters, friends and to all invited to share the life of the Community of our faith.

Camille is on fire! The Lord is speaking through her. This went on for another hour then I took her to work. We are sharing the bread of life we were given with you.
