Prayer Is This "To Be Consumed By The Meal He Prepares For Us"

Only at His Table Is the Bread His Flesh and the Wine His Blood

Seek first the Kingdom. How? On earth as in heaven... How? 
Come to His Table and ask for your Day-to-Day bread.

This is a recent response to a comment left to one of our posts.

Thanks for your comment about daily Communion. 

We are working on completing a book on Constant Communion called "Be Bold Believe" and hope it will inspire at least weekly Communion. 

John Wesley uses the term "Have you communicated today?" He interchanges the word "communicated" for Communion. 

He points out that the Eucharist should be a regular Christian practice of faith - if possible at least 4 times per week but preferably daily. 

Jesus taught Communion as a daily practice of prayer responding to the disciples when they asked, "Lord, teach us to pray." 

When He answered He basically said, "pray" this way. 

'Our Father in heaven, Your name means everything that is holy! 
Make your kingdom the determining factor in our life 
As real to us on earth as it is in heaven. 
Give us each day our "day-to-day" bread. 
Forgive us when we trespass 
Just as you have taught us to forgive others when they trespass against us. 
Keep us from being led by temptation but recover us when evil prevails.' 

Before teaching this Jesus makes it very clear the "daily day-to-day bread" is not physical because He said 'don't pray like those who look fr the attention of men and not God by praying in public for worldly, daily, physical needs because your Father knows what you need before you pray. 

Instead pray this way: (The Our Father). The day-to-day bread had not yet been revealed as His Body and Blood - but He was preparing the disciples for the miracle of CommunionFire. Coming to the Table is the greatest "prayer" we can do. 

When we "do this", we look to the meal of our bread and wine becoming the meal of His Flesh and Blood. 

When we dine on the physical consecrated by prayer it takes on the nature of Christ being transformed by the Holy Spirit. This meal opens our eyes to what the world cannot see or hear in the Glory of the presence of Jesus. 

When we encounter Him with the eyes of our spirit in the living bread of His Body and the ears of our spirit in the wine of His Blood, like the bread and wine, we are transformed from glory to glory. Encountering the image of Jesus and hearing His voice transforms us. 

In effect, Communion leads us into CommunionFire or the Glory of Christ's presence. It is there we can see Him and hear Him. When we do we are never the same again. 

Day-to-Day Bread is the Meal of Heaven prepared by Jesus. It is because He is our "Bread of Life". It is our shared Agape Meal. We feed on what appears to be bread and wine but miraculously it becomes His flesh and blood. 

When we feed on Him we encounter the reality of heaven on earth. (on earth as it is in heaven). 

This meal is also His provision for: 

* Recovering us from the grip of evil
* The breaking of the power of temptations we might 'feed on' outside of of the practice of His presence
* And giving us a forgiving heart to forgive others as He has forgiven us. 

It all leads back to His Table and being consumed by His meal. 

"Give us this day" literally means each calendar day! In other words, "daily communion". 

We somehow need 21 meals a week to keep our physical body happy why shouldn't we at least give our spirit a crumb from the loaf of life and a sip from the vineyard of the angels once per day! 

This bread feeds us eternally and this drink refreshes us eternally. The food we eat to sustain our body only lasts until the next meal. 

Given the choice which meal feeds us with the greatest nutritional value?
