CommunionFire Special Chronicles Of Cleophas Chapter Seven

Chapter Seven We Have Seen Him, Heard Him and Touched Him with our Hands

Communion puts a whole new spin on reading: “What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life - and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us.” 1 John 1:1-2

The Manifestation of Jesus in His glorified Body is synonymous with the power of God being unleashed from the heavenly realm in the earthly realm. We won't need 'manifestations, visitations, revelations and supernatural activity in eternity! We will be living in that realm. Until then the Lord provides us with every means of encountering His reality and experiencing His presence to bring about our ongoing transformation until the full day! Either we go to be with the Lord and those who love Him or we will meet Him in the air when He raises us up to be with Him forever.  

CommunionFire is how Jesus manifests His glory to us to reveal the riches of what He is planting in the garden of our heart. He is constructing memories by sharing His love, life and messages with us.

The Law of First Mention

Jesus First Miracle In Public Ministry Had to do with The Wine at the Wedding Feast in Cana

In John 2:3 Our Mother Mary said, "They have no wine." Is this a condition of the Church today? Then she said, "Do as He says." Jesus required them to bring Him six firkins of water filled to the brim. they do. Then Jesus reveals His glory and the water turns into a heavenly vintage wine. This is called His first miracle. It is the manifestation of the radiant light of His glory that triggers the supernatural sign of His divinity. John 2:11

The First Miracle of the New Creation Had to do with The Blessing of The Bread in Emmaus

In Emmaus "They have no eternal vision." Jesus takes their bread, blesses it, breaks it and gives it to them and their spiritual eyes were opened to recognize who He is and He disappears. His glorified body is revealed to them by the transformation of the bread as His instrument to manifest His glory! When they see Him as He is they are immediately transformed! It is confirmed when He is able to disappear right before them. Can you imagine how different their conversation was on their quick walk back to Jerusalem. It began with "Weren't our hearts burning within us when He spoke with us on the road?" I'll bet when they fed on that Bread, their feet had wings! They were walking and leaping and praising God all the way there!  

He takes what we bring to Him as bread and wine as we ask in prayer, “Lord please Bless this bread to be your Body and this wine to be your Blood”, He responds by blessing it. Something happens! He gives it back to us as His broken Body and poured out Blood. He asks us then to take and eat and to drink. When we do, He begins to nourish us on His Daily Bread and Wine of the New Covenant. 

When we eat He shares something with us spiritually by appearing to us. We see Him in whatever He wants us to show us. The eyes of our spirit are opened and He reveals His presence and image to us. Every time i encounter Him there is always something new and wonderful. Always. 

When we drink the wine of His New Covenant Blood, His Words flow like the bloodstream within us. We hear, sense or know the the message because the ears of our spirit open to hear Him in whatever way He chooses to spea with us. 

This is what began on the road to Emmaus. Jesus “made Himself known” to them on the road He appeared to them in another form (Mark 16:12) and at the table He gave them the blessed and broken bread and “their eyes were opened and they recognized Him” (in His ‘other form’). 

This is the same word used in 1 John 3:2 “But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.” Strong's Greek: 5319. φανερόω (phaneroó) Occurs 49 times. “Phanero” comes from a root word, “phos” which means appearance of a bright, brilliant radiant light.  

He manifested His glory and the water changed to wine! John 2:3-11; Jesus manifested Himself again to the disciples on the beach! John 21:1; Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 2 Corinthians 4:10; And when the Great Shepherd appears, you will receive a crown of never-ending glory and honor. 1 Peter 5:4; 

We call this the Chronicles of Cleophas because it is where each of our own chronicles (stories) begin. Chronicles include genealogies (who begat who) and their stories. (Like the Hebrews 11 Faith Hall of Fame)

He Manifests Himself to Us In Communion to Build Personal Memories

When Jesus said to ‘do this in remembrance of Me’ He was talking about creating a new database from which to live. “Memories” drive our life stories. By remembering Him often He begins weaving the tapestry of the story God intended us to have. When He gives you that new heart, He is removing the old hard drive and replacing it with a new one. When you have Communion at His Table he “manifests” or “reveals” what He has prepared for you each day to be involved in your life personally. What He shows you and tells you is what He has prepared for you personally. The process of transformation happens miraculously when the eyes of your spirit are open to see Him. Revelation from Him conforms your heart to His. When you encounter Jesus, the person He created you to be begins to manifest in your day to day routine. He brings you into the purpose and plan He always had for you. These memories are created by Him and that you share with Him. he become the pen in His hand as he reveals His story through you. CommunionFire makes you a first hand witness to the glory of Jesus. 

Here’s a key: We witness His perfect, gentle kindness and love in “CommunionFire”. We see how He speaks to us as He makes us a part of His story. It happens ‘organically’. It just happens. You cannot encounter Jesus and not experience something life-changing! It’s impossible to be with Him and not have Him influence who you are and what your new story is. People can tell you have been with Him. They say things like, “What is it about you?” The more constant your Communion time is the more you understand His influence in your life and how the Holy Spirit is at work in the Communion experience. Can you imagine what they sounded like when they found the disciples back in Jerusalem late that night?

"Of course he was seen, but he wasn't recognized. For their eyes were restrained, as we heard, so that they wouldn't recognize him. They weren't restrained so that they wouldn't see him, but they were held so that they wouldn't recognize him. Ah yes, brothers and sisters, but where did the Lord wish to be recognized? In the breaking of bread. We're all right, nothing to worry about: we break bread, and we recognize the Lord."  
St. Augustine, early 5th c. Sermon 235:2-3

When they recognized Jesus, they finally understood why their hearts were pounding with heaven's fire.
