I grew up a United Methodist with a Dad who was a Lay Minister. I developed as an Anabaptist, Evangelical, Charismatic after giving my life to Jesus by way of the 4 Spiritual Laws in January 1971 in Manlius, New York on SuperBowl Sunday until my first experience with CommunionFire in November of 2012. Now I see myself as Jesus sees me. He looked straight at me in my second CommunionFire encounter and said, "Follow Me" just after watching Him say the same thing to Peter! For the first time - in His eyes my eyes were opened! When He looked at me I felt I now had been given the power to Follow Him! i have been ever since. Part of following Jesus has brought me out of a mindset of many things I had learned from others including: "Sola Scriptura" I have learned that the graphe of the Logos is empowered by the same Rhema that I experience in Communion - especially in the drinking of the Lord's Blood from the Cup of the New Covenant. "The Blood of Jesus "speaks"" Hebrews 12:24 The Lord who is the Spirit 2 Cor 3:18 directs my wife and I through CommunionFire each day. Part of the ongoing progress in the seeing and hearing each day is that we have the gift of The Table (where our intimate and personal relationship with the Lord is fed from heaven), The Body of Christ Catholic (That is; Historic and Universal and from the time when Jesus became the Word made flesh tabenacling among us up to this moment your are reading this) as well as the Scriptures. But we also now understand that it is not what we get second or third hand from the instruction of others but rather what 1) Jesus shares with us at His Table, 2) how this fits with the historic and universal Church, His Body and Bride and finally by how it unveils Jesus in the Scriptures by the power of seeing and hearing from the Holy Spirit! Nothing is the same any more! Once Jesus looks you in the eye and says, "Follow Me" you have the power to follow Him - wherever He takes you. I know one thing I have learned - the Kingdom of Heaven is huge, Jesus love is huge, The family of God is embraceable and wonderful and everything is shiny and new! Now my Savior is in charge! Everything He shares is flooded with His glory, life and love! 

So in effect - I now find the following (and millions of other witnesses to His Testimony (story) throughout history like finding another spiritual restaurant with menus I never imagined existed! Jesus Table is filled and ready for you to feast upon 24/7 every moment of every day! As you go through this little list covering almost 2,000 years of unbroken history... just think for a moment what each of these lives meant personally to your Savior and Lord! He loved each one of them just as He loves you!
