Part 3 "In The Presence of My Enemies" The Liar Says 'Disqualified'

Jesus Won The Battle for your Mind, Will & Emotions You are Forgiven, Accepted & Free of All Guilt Shame & Condemnation

Second the Soul: Mind, Will & Emotions
Demons Club of "Disqualification" 

How do you fight the demons of disqualification? It helps to use blind faith here. "I Believe." That puts it back in God's hands. Trust Him without regard to any form of guilt, shame, condemnation or anything less than sitting down with your Shepherd, Lord and Savior.  His Love conquers all. 

What the demons love to whisper, joke, use sarcasm, cynicism or just plain yell in your face:

"You can't do this."  "You're not worthy." 
"Who do you think you are?" "You're no saint"

Then there are deeper levels of attack and accusation:

"You have your interpretation of what communion means and I have mine."
 
"You're adding to what communion is all about" 

"You're missing a lot of the rules my church has about communion."

Your faith is His target. He wants to keep you dwelling in the house of doubt, confusion, hatred, anger, hurt and anything else that will keep your attention away from fellowship at The table with The Lord! 

Another one we run into is: "This can only be done in a church building!" (And you know he's got you there because you can't even find 5 minutes at home much less get to church, go through the service and 'still make it to work on time'.)

Some pastors and leaders of christian churches and even a few who pose as christian, have actually told us:

A) "We only have communion one time per year and its done in conjunction with Passover."            

Is it just my opinion? I believe Jesus instituted the First Communion as instruction to the eleven about how it would replace the Old Covenant Meal of Passover with the New Covenant Meal of Communion. So, that is like those stupid Galatians who were being seduced into becoming Jews before they could become Christians.

B) "We have communion every week and its done as a memorial of Jesus' death."       

True, communion does show the Lord's death until He returns but the Gospel is that He conquered sin, hell and death. He arose from the dead and showed Himself to many (500+) and ascended into heaven and took His seat on the right hand of the Father as King of kings and Lord of lords. He took a lot of time as The Word made flesh to prepare the disciples to recognize His image and His voice in Communion after sending the Holy Spirit. 

See John 13-17 Jesus' final teaching is about Communion and CommunionFire the same night He was betrayed and the same night He taught about why He had to leave and send the Holy Spirit - it was all about Communion and where He would meet with them after Pentecost - At His Table!) "The law of the Spirit of life has set me free from the law of sin and death!" Isn't there more to Communion than Jesus died for me? Its not a graveside memorial service that is supposed to make us feel badly about ourselves. Its about having Communion with Him by the power and activity of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is alive and waiting for each one of us to spend a few minutes with Him, in His presence, at His Table by eating the Bread of His Flesh and drinking the wine of His Blood!

 C) "We have communion every month and its a special time for us." 

1) When we do, we share the bread and wine with each other to bring us into communion with one another. As if by having communion, holding hands and praying we are one in Christ. I used to think this but no longer. 

There is communion we try to produce and then there is Communion only Jesus can produce and that begins at His Table personally, with Him. The Church is the Body of Christ but only Jesus Christ is the Word made Flesh. The Flesh of Jesus is His flesh. When we eat the Bread of His Flesh it is Jesus not the flesh of other believers. 

By having personal one-on-one Communion with Jesus at His Table - what He shares with us, we can then share with each other as 1st hand witnesses to His glorious presence and what He shares with us. That is when we experience Communion as the Church and His Bride.

I don't think any where Jesus said, "You are the bread of life". He never said, "Eat one another". He said very very clearly, "I am the bread of life" and "(when He took the bread He said), 

"This is MY BODY broken for you! Do this in remembrance of ME". 

Jesus is the "Logos Word" become flesh." 
His Flesh become The Bread of Life for us.
 
Miraculously the bread becomes His Flesh for us so that we can feed on His what He shares with us. What He shows us and what He tells us. (Bread of His Flesh shows/reveals and Win of His Blood speaks/whispers, communicates a "Rhematic Word" message). 

Without eating His flesh 
we have no life in us." 


We become a part of His Body as the bread of His flesh is kneaded by the Holy Spirit into the bread of our body. The characteristics of His flesh (His DNA) alters ours when we 'taste and see' at His Table. 

The physical becomes spiritual and we who are physical becomes one with Him and are thereby - the Church, the body of Christ. 

Jesus is always Happy to See You

"Jesus said His Flesh is real food and His Blood is real drink."  

"Real" is translated fully disclosed, undeniable reality when fully tested!

2) When we have communion, it is 'in another room' or 'behind a curtain' and you take it whenever you want to; when it is convenient. 

Though I understand the good intention here "hiding Jesus" so to speak, is just off base in so many ways. What jumps to mind first is that Jesus 'did away with the veil' so that we might encounter His glory and experience His love and life. He does not hide from us. In fact He invites us to His Table so that He can share His life with us. It is a personal experience but in worship it is a very public declaration of showing the Lord's death as a witness to those who have not met Him personally and to build the faith of those who have. Even in public, Communion is still a personal, one-on-one experience.

This also puts a little different spin on "Give us this day our daily bread" (if you can find it) unless you still think Jesus is talking about 'groceries' here. A study of the Greek here reveals amazing clarity as to what Jesus is speaking of. It is Communion Bread - His Body becoming part of our body. We are His Temple - His House. When we eat his Flesh then He takes up residence inside us! Our 'brick and  mortar  becomes His brick and mortar! Inside His dwelling now inside of us, He is running more flat screens with His 'memories' than any resort has ever imagined. No matter where you turn in His presence He has something more to share, reveal and speak about. When we are "Communionists" (careful. say this the right way ; ) it is because it is no longer I that lives - but Christ who lives in me. 

I live by the faithfulness of the Son of God who died and gave Himself for me. My righteousness counts for nothing! It is Christ in me the hope of glory!  As long as we are in these 'tents' then we need His life every day. In fact its a more important meal than the other three that we spend so much time working for, preparing and sharing. This is where we get our "eternal life food". Jesus is our only portion. No other portion will give us an life whatsoever except physical - and that's just so that we can get to His Table one more day. 

3) Communion is only for those who, for example: a) are in right standing with the Lord and The Communion Police whoever they might be; b) who are members of this or that 'church' (in various degrees or levels of commitment); c) who have been (born again, baptized, forgiven, agree with our church constitution, and are totally up to snuff as far as all the sacraments go and being right with the whole world!  

Jesus said, "Come". That is all and many don't because they think there is a criteria for being there. Any such criteria is the criteria of those who do not understand Jesus intention. He wants us all to come and eat at His Table and in so doing have satisfied all the requirements others may have - why? Because they are with Him!

Whatever they might be as prescribed by each denomination - and there are well over 3,000 of them. 

(I will say I am no longer of the school of sola scriptura as I believe in the Need for the Creed to fight the same dissuasions, delusions and despotisms that worked to confound the early church. In fact I think it is much more advanced and deceiving today. Because of CommunionFire I relish those things that the Lord Jesus shows me and shares with me including the angels, saints and everything else that comes with an eternal, supernatural, glorious Kingdom and Land of Promise. So I do believe all the Bible, Apostle's Creed, the Holy Spirit, the Witness of God's people in all Churches and non-church churches, The Testimony/Story of Jesus encountered in CommunionFire and the many ways Jesus touches our hearts. I am as ardently Catholic (Roman and Orthodox) as I am Anabaptist, Evangelical and Charismatic with a Protestant upbringing. Is that allowed?) 

I don't know but that's the nature of His Table for us right now! So some might be thinking that what we share about CommunionFire is going a bit too far. Understand, He chose us. We didn't make this up. We had Communion because He said, "Do this to remember Me". We did not control what happened next. We were at His Table dining upon His presence and that's what happened!.                                                                      
4) I shared with one brother who has an international ministry of evangelism and when speaking with him about the miracle of CommunionFire, said, "I don't need this". 

He was speaking not of communion (I don't think) but of CommunionFire. Okay, I get it. Communion has no real meaning except that its something Jesus invited us "To Do To Remember Him". Why on earth would the Lord of the Universe ask us to do something so simple and mysterious if there was nothing to it but ritualism.                                                                      
5) If we do it too much it it won't be special any more. 

My wife has the best response to this. "Well then stop having the offering every Sunday. Just do it once per month to keep it special." Yeah, I don't see anyone jumping up and down about that revelation! 

If you really do your homework you will find that in the law of first mention Communion and Tithing happen at the exact same time! So now you want to have Communion every day?

Have the Faith of a Child

Fight Disqualification with Determination harnessed to humility, truth and faith. Being in Jesus presence one time is all most people we know can speak of. They speak of others' encounters and experiences but not their own. Sit down at His Table with nothing in hand. Come sit down with only one reason. Jesus said, "do this". Then He takes care of the rest. Just do it and keep doing it. He has so much He wants to share with you personally, one-on-one! So Do This with Expectation. He will not let you down. He will open your eyes and your ears and your heart will understand. You will experience fuller conversion and you will be made whole! 

You are already full Qualified by virtue of His Proclamation from the Cross "It Is Finished!" and by virtue of the Cup of His New Covenant in His Blood, that you now hold and drink. You are totally forgiven and free from all guilt, shame and condemnation and welcome at His Table any time day or night!

I believe. 
That's the doorknob. YOU open the door to eternal Communion with Jesus! No one else will. 

Do You?
Turn it and He will come in, introduce Himself and sit down with you at your table. 

He will come into your life at your invitation. Then He will sit down with you. You will share everything about you and all that you are with Him. He will take it all, including the bad stuff. He will bundle up all the bad stuff and toss it into the farthest sea of forgetfulness. 

Then He will begin replacing each thing you offered Him at your table and lead you to a new seat at His Table. He will provide every meal (His Body and Blood from your bread and wine). One day it tastes like honey and clover, another day like prime rib and heaven's sweet wine and another day it will taste like a day at the beach on a festival of joy and gladness.
