The Wonder of CommunionFire From the Journal

We cannot explain the shadow of light that covers Sharon and Deborah. See Sal's 70 Days Of CommunionFire 8/28/2014 in CommunionFire Blog Notes

Murrells Inlet Gathering began with Jim giving us a good introduction to Chapter Two of Galatians and ended up in the presence of Jesus doing wonders!

Outstanding were the thoughts about verse 2 "And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles" (again like a golden thread that runs through all of Paul's writings - He spoke, moved and did by the revelation of his Communion with Jesus.) Like Jesus who did only what the Father showed Him to do and spoke only what the Father gave Him to speak. And like the Holy Spirit who only shares with us what Jesus gives Him to share and speaks only what the Lord tells Him to say to each of us when we encounter Him through the Bread of His flesh and the wine of His Blood.

Also, verse 18 "For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor." We must continue to come the the Table to receive His life and love. Otherwise we are drawn back to what we see in the temporal and quickly lose focus on what is "unseen" (to others) the eternal.

Then verse 20 "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." When we take the bread and the wine we are crucified with Christ - dead in His death but alive by His resurrection - For by virtue of Communion He is in us - so that we may say the life we live now in the flesh (as in right now) I live by the faith He gives to me.

There is so much more... but I want to share about the encounters in CommunionFire tonight. It was a very special time as it was the first time in two years that the Lord gave many of us something for Cindy. Usually the Lord speaks to each of us where we are as we are for who we are. Our encounters are enough. But tonight the Holy Spirit worked in a very different way placing the light of Christ's glory on a first time visitor. We were all cautious and shared gently one by one and at the end of the meeting the Lord directed us to lay hands on Cindy and pray for her.

I started by sharing that I saw Jesus approach Cindy to pull out dis-ease and replace it with His love as with His right hand (as in the bread of His flesh as Cindy ate). Then in the wine I saw a "straight A+ report card" meaning that in Jesus - by His blood she was totally clean of all guilt, condemnation and sin. Then I heard the Holy Spirit say, "Forget those things that are behind to press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.' and to tell all this to Cindy.

Sharon: In the bread she saw a tree with 'gnarly roots' and Jesus pulled up the tree including the roots and ripped it out of Cindy then in the cup felt like she was sleeping and the Holy Spirit said to tell Cindy to enter His rest.

Cindy shared: This is the very first time in my life the Bread was the Flesh of Jesus and the wine was His Blood! Then she repeated her witness! Very powerful.

Ronnie: In the bread the Lord said to tell Cindy, "I have come to heal the broken hearted!" Then in the wine, "And set the captives free!" Cindy shared that the Lord had given her this scripture in Scotland and that this was very memorable to her.

Deborah shared: In the bread (That this was for Cindy) "Remember who I am" and then saw a building and Jesus was standing next to it. Then there was a couple facing each other with an embrace and then they stood facing Jesus and Jesus said to tell Cindy, 'Don't worry, I've got this!"

Joe said, "I had my super peace!" and then he shared a painting he did this week based on a dream he had. It was light splitting the darkness hitting someone in the chest and it was so powerful it was pulling them "Upward".
(Reminded me of Isaiah 60:1-3 "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising."

Then Cindy said (at the point of tears) how much the painting spoke to her! It was powerful because yesterday she had logged in her journal about Psalm 139. I blurted out at the same time "Psalm 139" and showed her where I had written it in my journal just this morning!

Joe declared, "You can't make this stuff up!"

Jim said, "In the bread i saw Joe's painting!" Then in the cup I saw falshes of 'orange light' ! (Like the streak in Joe's painting, like fire... and Joe continued his description of what he saw in the dream that led to the painting.)

Lori shared that while eating the Bread of Life, she saw a large arc. It was like the Arc over St. Louis. Then while drinking the wine she saw darkness - but it was peaceful. There was no fear... just peace. (Very much like the reference in Psalm 139)!

Camille shared about the power that the Bread releases and the Wine. Jesus said, "Do this" and was speaking of Eating the Bread of His Flesh and Drinking the Wine of His Blood. Jesus was saying that this is what gives us life, a glimpse of the promise of eternal life and hope that He will raise us up in the last day!

Jesus said, "My flesh is real food and My blood is real drink". John 6:55
