COMMUNION “DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME” 2-17-23 VIDEO WADE
Communion is one of the most special and powerful gifts that Jesus has given us. He has given us the ability in the midst of all our troubles and worldly problems to live in the reality of what he did for us. Given of his body and his blood for us. To experience life and life more abundantly taking communion is the way we can make sure the world can’t harm us. Jesus told his disciples what is body and blood meant, but he also told him that he would soon die on the cross. He prepare them for that, and tells them of a future celebration in the kingdom. Communion was started by Jesus on Passover. He broke off from the law and instituted a new covenant, his body, his blood. Animal sacrifices offered there is a remembrance of sins, the memory of sins committed is revived by the sacrifices, NT MEMORY- “in memory of” but in an affectionate calling of the Person Himself to mind; not of the “remembrance” of sins, but an awakening of mind to Jesus.
John 16:33 I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.] AMP

JN 16:33 I have spoken these things to you that in me you will know the sweet and assured resonance of my peace! In the world you encounter extreme and stressful times, but be of good courage, I have conquered the world-order!” MIRROR
Romans 5:9 And there is still much more to say of his unfailing love for us! For through the blood of Jesus we have heard the powerful declaration, “You are now righteous in my sight.” And because of the sacrifice of Jesus, you will never experience the wrath of God. TPT
Colossians 1:20 And by the blood of his cross, everything in heaven and earth is brought back to himself—back to its original intent, restored to innocence again
Eph 4:16 He keeps us in step with each other. His very breath and blood flow through us, nourishing us so that we will grow up healthy in God, robust in love
1 Cor 10:16 When we drink the cup of blessing, aren’t we taking into ourselves the blood, the very life, of Christ? And isn’t it the same with the loaf of bread we break and eat? Don’t we take into ourselves the body, the very life, of Christ?
17 Because there is one loaf, our many-ness becomes one-ness — Christ doesn’t become fragmented in us. Rather, we become unified in him. We don’t reduce Christ to what we are; he raises us to what he is. MSG

1 COR 10:16 When we share a meal together we declare our association in Christ! Every time we drink from the same cup, we communicate the language of the covenant of grace, which is what our fellowship is all about. The wine we drink is our participation in what the blood of Christ represents. The bread we break celebrates our participation in the incarnation! The prophetic promise became flesh in his person; we are jointly declaring that in the revelation of our inclusion in his death and resurrection we are now the visible body of Christ.
17 The single loaf of bread that we all partake of represents the fact that although there are many of us, there is only one Christ! By eating together from that one bread we are declaring that we are one body in Christ and that he is incarnated in each one of us! MIRROR
1 John 4:17 In this [union and communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world. AMP

1 JN 4:17 So now, with us awakening to our full inclusion in this love union, everything is perfect! Its completeness is not compromised in contradiction. Our confident conversation echoes this fellowship even in the face of crisis; because, as he is, so are we in this world – our lives are mirrored in him. We are as blameless in this life as Jesus is!This perfect love union is the source of our confidence whenever we face the scrutiny of contradiction. MIRROR
Matt 26:26 Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread and, praising God, gave thanks and asked Him to bless it to their use, and when He had broken it, He gave it to the disciples and said, Take, eat; this is My body.
27 And He took a cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, Drink of it, all of you;
28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which [ratifies the agreement and] is being poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
29 I say to you, I shall not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it with you new and of superior quality in My Father’s kingdom. AMP
John 16:28 Yes, I did come from the Father and I came into the world. Now I leave the world behind and return to the Father.” PHILLIPS
REV 19:9 And he instructed me to record this in writing: Oh the blessedness of this bliss which is the supreme celebration of the union of the ages! You have individually been identified by name and invited to the Lamb’s supper, concluding in the ultimate wedding feast! This is the Grand Finale in the unveiling of God’s word. MIRROR
JN 6:51 I am the living bread, I stepped out of the heavenly realm into this earth suit, in the incarnation, so that everyone may feast on the idea of their true incarnate identity mirrored in me and discover the life of the ages incarnate in them! The bread that I will give is my own flesh; it will translate into life for the entire cosmos!
JOHN 6:33 For the bread from God that comes down from heaven is that which gives life to the entire world!
34 They said, Oh Lord, this is the bread we crave! Give us this bread!
35 Jesus said, I am the bread of life! He that comes face to face with me shall never hunger and he who finds his faith resting in me shall never thirst! MIRROR
JOHN 6:53 Amen amen, I say unto you that you have no real life in yourselves until you consume the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood.
54 Your every meal is a celebration of the incarnation; to eat my flesh and drink my blood is to digest me like your body is designed to digest food and it becomes flesh; this echoes the life of the ages and communicates the fact that you are co-risen with me in the final conclusion of my work of redemption.
55 My flesh is food in its truest form and my blood is drink in its truest form.
56 The eating of my flesh and drinking of my blood is the celebration of our seamless union – you in me and I in you – because you won’t find you until you find me!
57 As the living Father has sent me and also sustains me so will I sustain the one eating me. I live through my Father – just like my daily food sustains me, so his life permanently resides in me – now you may also continually and habitually feast on me and live through me!
58 This is the bread that stepped down out of the heavenly sphere – there is no comparison with the manna your fathers received from heaven, they ate and they died [without completing their destiny] – now feast on me and celebrate the life of the ages.
Acts 2:42 And they steadfastly persevered, devoting themselves constantly to the instruction and fellowship of the apostles, to the breaking of bread [including the Lord’s Supper] and prayers.
43 And a sense of awe (reverential fear) came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were performed through the apostles (the special messengers).
44 And all who believed (who adhered to and trusted in and relied on Jesus Christ) were united and [together] they had everything in common; AMP
Heb 8:13 When God speaks of a new [covenant or agreement], He makes the first one obsolete (out of use). And what is obsolete (out of use and annulled because of age) is ripe for disappearance and to be dispensed with altogether. AMP

Heb 8:13 By coming up with a new plan, a new covenant between God and his people, God put the old plan on the shelf. And there it stays, gathering dust. MSG
Romans 5:9 And there is still much more to say of his unfailing love for us! For through the blood of Jesus we have heard the powerful declaration, “You are now righteous in my sight.” And because of the sacrifice of Jesus, you will never experience the wrath of God. TPT
Heb 12:24 And to Jesus, the Mediator (Go-between, Agent) of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which speaks [of mercy], a better and nobler and more gracious message than the blood of Abel [which cried out for vengeance]. AMP

HEB 12:24 Jesus is the spokesman and arbitrator of the New Testament order. His blood signature sanctions mankind’s innocence. This is a complete new language that communicates better things, in that it is the very substance of what was spoken in the shadow-type message of the blood sacrifice that Abel brought.
1 COR 11:23 Let me remind you then what we are actually celebrating in our fellowship meal: The night in which the Lord Jesus was betrayed, he took bread
24 and gave thanks; breaking the bread into portions, he said, “Realize your association with my death, every time you eat, remember my body that was broken for you!”
25 He did exactly the same with the cup after supper and said, “This cup holds the wine of the New Covenant in my blood; you celebrate me every time you drink with this understanding!”
26 Your every meal makes the mandate of his coming relevant and communicates the meaning of the New Covenant.
27 So whoever does not value the meaning of the bread and the wine, keep themselves in condemnation.
28 To see oneself associated in Christ’s death and declared innocent in his blood is the only worthy manner in which to examine one’s own life in the context of the new covenant meal.
29 Anyone who partakes of this meal in an indifferent manner, either because of religious sentiment or merely being blasé about the meaning of the meal, eats and drinks judgment upon themselves! The human body of Jesus represents the judgment of every single human life; to fail to acknowledge this is to deliberately exclude yourself from the blessing of the New Covenant.
30 This is the reason why many of you are suffering unnecessarily with weaknesses and illnesses, and many have already died.
31 By judging that we indeed co-died in his death we are free from any kind of judgment!
32 By discerning the broken body of Christ we can only conclude that he suffered our brokenness and distortion. This is the instruction of the Lord; what foolishness it would be to continue to place yourself and the rest of the world under judgment when Jesus already took all judgment upon himself! MIRROR

1 COR 11:23I have handed down to you what came to me by direct revelation from the Lord himself. The same night in which he was handed over,[s] he took bread
24 and gave thanks. Then he distributed it to the disciples and said, “Take it and eat your fill.[t] It is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me.”
25 He did the same with the cup of wine after supper and said, “This cup seals the new covenant with my blood. Drink it—and whenever you drink this, do it to remember me.”
26 Whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are retelling the story, proclaiming our Lord’s death until he comes. TPT VIDEO JESUS BLOOD
