I had a dream about me and my daughter having supper. We was eating chicken and steak and also drinking wine.
I had a dream about me and my daughter having supper. We was eating chicken and steak and also drinking wine.
When I woke up out of sleep. The thought came to me the lord supper.
The same day I text my daughter and told her that the lord supper is not cracker and grape juice as most people think. The lord supper is the word of God.
I Corinthian 11:25 After the same manner also HE took the cup, when HE had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in MY blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of ME.
I told my daughter that you must judge yourself with the word of God. Eating and drinking the word of God. Its been four days and I have not heard from her yet.
Verse 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

Comments by Joan Boney:
When I was about 4 years old, and we visited my aunt, she would take me to church with her. (Church of Christ)
My aunt began explaining "The Lord's Supper" and how when I got older and joined the church, I could partake of the tray with crackers and grape juice.
I would watch my aunt solemnly eat a small piece of cracker and drink grape juice from a small cup.
The thing that stood out to me was this scripture:
I Cor. 11
27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

"But HOW do we examine ourselves?" I wondered? I didn't want to eat "unworthily".
I went forward and was baptized in water at Church of Christ when I was 15.
Now I could partake of "The Lord's Supper". I was terrified! How do I "examine myself" to see if I am doing this in a correct way?
When I was 37, God spoke to me and caused me to be born again, giving me HIS HOLY Spirit to live in me ... God explained I Corinthians 11 to me. "The Lord's supper is the eating and drinking of the Holy Bible. You examine yourself by those verses of scripture which you read in the Bible, correcting yourself and conforming your way of life to verses of scripture as you live on this earth."
The Lord's supper has nothing at all to do with crackers and grape juice they are serving at church. You are no better nor worse when you eat and drink crackers and grape juice at church.
You are better or worse when you read the Bible by the way you handle the scriptures. If you conform to that verse of scripture...
Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind (to the Bible), that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind (to the Bible), that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Read the Bible. Do the scriptures. Conforming your life to that which God says in the Bible by the Holy Spirit one verse at a time, making changes!
