Scripture: Shared by body of Christ

John 6:53 ... Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

Exhortation:  (Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet)


How do we eat the flesh of Jesus and drink the blood of Jesus?

Jesus is the Word.  As we eat and drink the Word given by God and apply the Word to our lives, we live by HIM.  To abide in HIM, means to abide in that word given by the Holy Spirit.  We who have the Holy Spirit have words given to us by HIS Spirit.  They come to us as thoughts which remind us of scripture (or dreams which are also the word).


Today all persons who go forward and join a church group think they are Christians.

But the real people of God are those people born by God by HIS Spirit.  His Spirit convicts us of our sin.  His Spirit shows us the way of God.  Many people try to follow God by doing scripture by their own thinking.  But those who are really of God are given scripture by HIS Spirit.  This makes the difference between the elect of God and the ones who are born of their own fleshly ideas concerning scripture.

Hundreds of thousands think crackers and grape juice are the flesh and blood of Jesus. They solomly partake of such at their churches on Sunday mornings.  They call it "communion".  But the real communion with God is the interaction we have with that WORD carried to us by the Holy Spirit.  This is also the real Lord's supper.

There is no power at all in crackers and grape juice at churches.  This is not the Lord's supper.

In I Cor. 11, Paul says ... But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.  

Exactly how do you "examine yourself"?

Have you ever wondered that as you eat crackers and grape juice at church?

The way you "examine yourself" is by the Word of God ... and so let us eat of the Word of God and with that bread of the Word we consider what it is we are doing.  As we read the Bible or hear a scripture, we eat the flesh of Jesus (the Word) and drink the blood of Jesus (the Word).  We apply that Word to our lives.  If we apply that word wrongly we bring damnation upon ourselves.

Paul explains:  For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.  30For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.  I Cor. 11

How is it a cracker and grape juice can judge yourself.  This is really silly.  We judge ourselves by that Word given by the Holy Spirit in the matter at hand.
