More & More & More REVELATION from CommunionFire

Camille sits here by Dutchess - Ladder Communion Table - and I sit here for CommunionFire every morning

More? "The More" of Communion or "More and More and More" in CommunionFire!

Here's the scenario: It is a bite sized piece of bread from our bread box. I've been tearing a small "2 person sized" piece of bread for Camille and I to share at our little "ladder table" in the living room. It is on a white diner saucer covered by a glass dome. It is a small sip of wine in an upside down lennox egg cup poured from our "box of wine - ( usually Franzio Chillable Red) covered by a tea dish in case there are 'distractions' This is where we sit down with the Lord. He changes our table into His table. (Its an act of faith.) 

Bite Sized Piece of Kitchen Bread to Living Bread at His Table
to the Eternal Feast in His Presence Forever

We begin with giving thanks for at least one thing and then ask the Lord to bless the Bread to be His Body, "We do this to remember you." I break off a piece and hand it to Camille saying, "The Body of Christ broken for you." and then we eat. While eating something happens - every time. whatever it is it happens quickly usually for a minute or two sometimes longer. We see something, hear something, feel something or sense something. It is always something that is generated from Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. Its not dramatic at first. Usually it is something very simple like the small piece of blessed bread which becomes His Body, His Flesh. Its like eating it sparks an awareness that He is there. The veil of this world pulls back and He opens our spiritual eyes to see and recognize Him. For a brief moment its like we are somewhere else. We are with Him wherever He is. Sometimes we see Jesus and sometimes the Holy Spirit opens our eyes to see something that the Lord wants us to see - and somehow you know it is coming from Him. The only drama is that you can't plan this. It just happens. It is not my overactive imagination. It is revelation. Its as though someone turns on a flashlight and in the light you see something. What you see is something you know He is sharing with you. That is the food! That is the DNA of Jesus resident in the bread turned into His Body. That is the bread of Life. What you see may be simple but it is also a meal that will never grow stale and will continue to feed you for eternity. 

Drop of Wine to a Babbling Brook of Peace to The River of Life from His Throne 
to Pounding Waves of His Love and Glory Flooding the Earth as the Waters cover the Sea!

Then we ask the Lord to bless the wine to be His Blood, "We do this to remember you." We drink a taste saying, "The blood of Jesus shed for you." Again, our eyes closed, Then the next part of the miracle happens. Its as though the soundproofing of this world disappears and we have ears opened to hear the Voice of the Lord, the sounds of heaven, music, songs, psalms - it can be anything. Sometimes what we hear is from the World of God! The Kingdom is the place where the King is! When we are at His Table we are transported from this world into the light and shadow of the world to come. It is alive with images, sounds, fragrances and feelings. What we experience when drinking can be more of what we encountered while eating the bread or something new. For me the wine is where I listen for that still small voice of God - the whisper of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the voice of the Lord. He speaks as the breath of God. When He says something it breaks the damn that is within us to release the river of life that comes from the throne of God. He might show us a phrase speak a sentence or give us a blessing. Whatever happens it is the Lord communicating with me and no one else. What happens is personal, eternal in scope, intimate and filled with grace and surrounded by the light of His glory. We may not always see all that because the Lord only shares with us on a level that is gentle, caring, kind, well-mannered, joyful and sometimes like a kid playing on the beach. He is happy and exudes a sense of excitement.

One thing we become aware of is that the more time we spend with Him is how happy He is to see us. He is thankful that you come to spend time with Him even if it is a moment. Think about it. If the Son of God shows up and tips His hat to you and says, "You bless me so much!" That image, vision revelation whatever you want to call it is more real than the shoes you are wearing. If the Son of God tips His hat - you will notice what color it is, what style it is, how He wears it because all of those elements are things He thought of before you ever saw Him. 

You get more and more and more than you had before.

Then He tells you that you bless Him! He turns the tables on you. He relieves you of the sense of obligation and makes it about you bringing Him joy. Its like your very best friend who sees you from a distance and starts to run when they see you. You could probably enshrine that moment in your heart for the rest of your life. That one moment would feed you and others you share about it with. 

The more you get the more you get.

Communion with Jesus brings us into His presence and once you've seen it, felt it, believed it, heard it, shared it, it becomes a forever thing. So what do you think happens i you keep spending a moment with Him at His Table every day? You get more and more and more than you had before. The more you get the more you get. Its not about us giving to Him, its about Him giving to you! Jesus can't wait to share His life, love, joy, peace, blessing, promise, healing, provision and the list goes on and on. He wants you to know Him first hand and to know how much he treasures you. He died and rose to give you every good and perfect gift. 

The river grows to become an ocean of revelation whose waves pound within our hearts syncing us with the heart o God. His love floods in and infuses our body with new life, renewal of life, revival from His life.  Immersed in His presence the very power and nature of His love transforms you. You become more and more the person He created you to be. The more and more and more time you spend in His presence at His Table the more and more and more you are conformed to the image of Him. Hang out with Jesus wherever He meets you and you are transformed to be conformed to the image of Him who you love! You are your beloveds and He is yours and His banner over you is love! The King who reigns on high takes full responsibility to transform you from a worm crawling on the earth to becoming a co-heir with Him! You will rule and reign with Him forever!

Forever is more and more and more and more and more......... with Jesus, from Jesus, by Jesus, in Jesus and Him in you to bring us into the eternal pleasure of His love and friendship.


simple but profound
