Understanding the Power of the Communion TableSample

YOU OVERCOME BY TAKING THE COMMUNION IN A WORTHY MANNER

1 Corinthians 11:29

29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

I want to share a testimony that will bless you today about a lady who previously had many miscarriages. She came to meet me one day and said there was an experience she had been having. She said a man would come to her in her dream and have sex with her. She hated it and had done everything to stop it, but the dream persisted.

On a certain fellowship day, I was teaching from our text on rightly discerning the Lord's body, emphasizing that Jesus paid a price for all, and the believer has the right to appropriate that. I explained that the price that Jesus paid to purchase us was His blood; His body was broken for us, and His blood was shed for us. The lady sat down in the service and took notes. She told me afterward that after listening to the teaching, she decided not to come for counselling again but to go and put what she had heard into practice.

Before she slept that night, she pleaded the blood of Jesus and claimed the covenant position that Jesus had paid the price for her, and then slept. The same scenario repeated itself in her dream, but she found herself confronting the man that she could not say no to before. Previously, the man would sleep with her, and she would feel bad after waking up. This time, she stood up and said to the man, “Do you know that Jesus paid the dowry for me with His blood”? She said the man fled out of the window in terror, and she never had that experience again. This is an example of what can happen when you take the Communion worthily. There is power in appropriating the Communion correctly and with proper understanding, in a worthy manner!

PRAYER: I set myself free from every oppression of the devil. I begin to walk in the victory Christ has won for me, in Jesus' name. Amen!
