The Breaking of Bread Ministry:
Luke 24:30-31
"And it came to pass, as he sat at meal with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened and they knew Him, and He vanished out of their sight.
Luke 24:32-35
"And they said to one to another, did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them saying, the Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. And they told what things were done in the way, and how Jesus was known of them in the breaking of bread."
Jesus broke the bread, the backs of His hands became the focal point. They saw visible the ugly, gaping holes in the backs of his hands - holes that were made by the harsh Roman spikes. With that sight in mind they saw Jesus and their hearts burned and knew Him. Their weak faith became strong again.
Their spiritual eyes were opened when they saw Jesus in the Holy Communion. All spiritual blindness and bondage had to go. The nail pierced hands gave them revelation of Jesus. Their hearts were burned as they received the revelation of Grace in Jesus broken body.
Likewise our eyes will be open to the things of God's Grace. Physical healing, miracles and deliverance will break loose. As our spiritual eyes open, we will be able to know Jesus better and acknowledge Him as God. The disciples said, "He was known to us in the breaking of bread." Friends, Holy Communion ministry is a very powerful ministry as Jesus performed it Himself with the disciples.
Bread breaking breaks blindness. We are blinded by doubts, religion and laws.
Bread breaking causes heart to burn. (Passion for Jesus) We get revived, refreshed and renewed each time we come to the Table of Grace.
Bread breaking turns weak faith into overcoming faith. The disciples were discouraged.
Bread breaking causes Jesus to be known by us through revelation of the Scriptures. The Word of Grace were opened to them.
Holy Communion ministry breaks curses. Jesus became curse for us on that cross.
Holy Communion breaks the spirit of poverty. He became poor at the cross for us so that we might be rich. There was an exchange of status.
Holy Communion ministry protects us from deadness and resurrects us and gives us life.
Holy Communion creates miracles and healing in His broken body and blood.
In this, the first Adam was cursed by eating the Tree of Good and Evil. But the second Adam (Jesus) came to break the curse in us while we eat His body (bread) and blood (wine). This speaks of restoration back to our divine nature in Christ. Our New Creation in Jesus work!
As you do this in remembrance of Me. This is to say Jesus is around when we are partaking the bread and wine. This is the ministry of Jesus to bless us. This is the cup of blessings. In fact, this cup is also called the cup of His Presence (Face). All our blessings is in this cup of the New Covenant of Grace. We will become refreshed, revived and renewed by His power. We can have an abundance of overcoming grace with our overcoming faith in Christ as God's divine power will be imparted into us.
So as we come to the Holy Communion table we come with great expectations meeting our Lord Jesus not as a formality service meeting our leaders. Let our spiritual eyes be opened to see Jesus. Let our passions be renewed and let grace be poured upon us layer upon layer. Let His blessings chase us and overtake us and our family. This is the hour that His manifest presence and glory will be revealed to us. Do this in REMEMBRANCE OF ME!
MAY THE GRACIOUS GRACE OF THE LORD BE WITH YOU ALL!
