That I May Know Him In CommunionFire

Philippians 3:9-11 "Be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, 

that: I may know Him and

a) the power of His resurrection and 
b) the fellowship of His sufferings, being 
c) conformed to His death; 

in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead."

To know Jesus on the basis of faith harnessed to His righteousness is relational. Communion with Him at His Table is where (in this life) we are in touch with the penultimate "Eternal Life that only comes from Jesus". 

He is the fountain and river of life, the bread of life, the wine and the total source of all things eternal. He wants to share His life with us. He chooses to do that through the Miracle of Communion. This meal at His Table lets us feed on what is eternal - His presence. That is all it takes. We have learned that we can't earn or muscle our way into His presence or will our way into His presence. 


We can only come to Him empty handed to His Table to eat the bread, His Body and to drink the wine His blood. When we do something happens. Our eyes are opened and we recognize Jesus! When we do, at that moment, we begin to feed on His presence. He shares His life and we are fed. When we drink our hearts begin to overflow. We become wellsprings of living water when we drink in the life in His blood. It is the quickening agent of the Holy Spirit. 

Don't live through the encounters you read about here. Come to His Table and experience this Miracle for yourself. Write down what happens when you feed on the bread of life and drink from the vine of His love. Write down what He shares with you. Write down what He shows you. Write down what He tells you. Create your own CommunionFire journal. If you can meet with others and come to His Table. After everyone has had Communion take time, as the Spirit leads, for each person to 'break the bread of life' sharing what their personal experience is. 

Your personal relationship with Jesus is the most important treasure that you will even own. He gave His life so that He can give you His life! When you feed upon His presence He nourishes the reality of sharing His love, joy and peace. He feeds us with visions of things He wants you to see. He intoxicates us with whispers that reveal His secrets to you. Jesus is not hiding from you. He can't wait to spend time with you. Don't feed on leftovers from others. Feed on what He has prepared for you each day. He is ALWAYS at the Table where He has prepared everything for you. He wants to share His love and His life with you - that's why He suffered, died, rose, ascended and sits at the right hand of the Father.

You will get to know Jesus day after day feeding on all that He has prepared for you. He has something to share with you every day. He wants to share His life and love with you right now! 

You will get to know Him in His power! You will get to know Him in His suffering. You will get to know Him in His death. You will get to see Him, hear Him, know Him, understand Him and be transformed by knowing Him. You will become the person He created you to be.
