在過去的幾週裡，我聽到了幾個與疾病爭戰的人的故事。似乎四處正在發生對身體的攻擊。

領聖餐是神賜給我們的工具之一，可以對抗疾病；不僅是疾病，還有仇敵的攻擊。聖餐具有大能。當我們領受聖餐時，我們將自己與耶穌的身體和血結合。在聖餐中，我們記念耶穌在十字架上所完成豐盛的事。然後，我們在生活的每個領域領受這種完全。

如果你不經常在家裡領聖餐，我請你今天讀這篇文章，並為使聖餐成為你日常生活的一部分而禱告，或至少一週一次。

這樣做是為了紀念我

"......他感謝了，就擘開，說：'這是我的身體，是為你們預備的，你們要這樣做，是為紀念我。"（哥林多前書11:24）

大多數人對聖餐很熟悉，但只是在特殊場合才領聖餐。我想向你展示私人聖餐中的能力。

聖餐一詞的意思是 "夥伴關係"、"參與"、"交往 "和 "交情"。僅僅從這些定義中，就可以看到，聖餐是一件非常親密的事情。這是一個我們與耶穌以及祂在十字架上所做的事情融為一體的時刻。

聖餐也被稱為 "祝福之杯"（哥林多前書10:16），象徵著聖約的印記。我們瞭解印記的作用。它覆蓋並保護著裡面的東西。它不會讓外面的東西進來。

在路加福音第22章中，我們發現耶穌非常希望在祂上十字架之前和祂的門徒一起吃這頓飯。聖餐都是關於十字架和耶穌在十字架完成的事。對我來說，聖餐仍是大奧秘。然而，我在自己的生活中一次又一次地看到了聖餐的能力。

與祂合一

哥林多前書10:16說："我們所感謝的杯，不就是參與基督的血嗎？我們所擘開的餅，不也是參與基督的身體嗎？"

這段經文的意思是，當我們喝下我們的聖餐杯時（無論我們用的是葡萄汁還是葡萄酒），我們是在喝，與基督的血相交，成為一體，並與之合作。當我們吃餅時，我們是在與基督的身體融為一體，與之相交，並與之結為夥伴。當我們這樣做時，我們與祂在十字架上所成就的一切合一。我們與繁榮、醫治、整全、心智健全以及耶穌在十字架上奪回的其他一切成為夥伴。

你與祂合一，祂贖回了與神的關係；祂使你有能力享受祂為你預備的美好生活，祂死後要給你的生活。這就是你在聖餐中的夥伴。你記住祂--那位為我們買回這一切的人。你尊崇祂；你尊崇耶穌。你尊崇祂的身體和祂的血。當你如此做時，再次為你封印耶穌在十字架上買贖的一切。當你領聖餐的時候，就蓋上這個印記。

打破仇敵的控制

就我個人而言，當其他東西似乎都不起作用時，聖餐常常打破了仇敵在我生命中的控制，特別是醫治方面。我想與你分享這樣的一個時刻。

幾年前，我被一隻棕毛蜘蛛咬了。第二天，我的腿就開始腫起來了。由於我不習慣馬上去看醫生，我把它帶到上帝面前，問我應該怎麼做。祂告訴我，要相信祂。於是，我照做了。

在接下來的幾天裡，我的腿開始看起來像需要被切除。我家人每天都來告訴我，如果我不做點什麼，我的腿就得被截肢。一位護士告訴我，如果我看到腿上有條紋，那就意味著毒藥已經進入我的血液，那時我的腿就沒救了。

幾天後，我的腿發燒，幾乎無法忍受。我的腿被血液中的毒液染成了條狀，疼痛難忍。我的腿是我另一條腿的兩倍粗--相當壯觀！我繼續向神禱告。我繼續承認神的話語和祂的信實。

有一天晚上，當我認為我再也無法忍受時，我向上帝哭訴說："你必須在這裡做一些事情；我的女兒開始擔心了"。祂指示我去領聖餐。

那天晚上，我領了聖餐。我重新接受了耶穌透過祂的身體為我買贖的一切。我紀念祂，我用祂的寶血再次封印了這個盟約。然後我上床睡覺了，我的腿和聖餐前一樣。

第二天早上我醒來時，我的腿很正常。你甚至看不出我曾經被咬過，除了一個小斑點，今天我的腿上仍然有這個斑點。通過十字架上完成的工作，加上每天宣告祂的話語，所有的症狀都消失了，我的腿也恢復了健康。宣告主的話語是強大的，它不會歸於虛無。話雖如此，有時我們必須尋求神，看看祂是否有其他事情要我們做。對我來說，那天是要領聖餐。

用聖餐的能力封住它

你知道嗎，所有那些曾告訴我我是瘋子、我會失去腿的人，在第二天再次來見我。他們敬畏地站在我的上帝的信實上。上帝得到了所有的榮耀。

聖餐是有大能的。耶穌希望我們經常領受，我也同意。

聖餐的能力是無限的。它使你更接近耶穌。你與祂成為一體，你與祂成為夥伴，你與祂相交，最重要的是，你記念祂為你所做的一切。你不僅接受它，而且用聖餐的能力封住它。

本週抽出一些時間來聖餐--你和耶穌合而為一。沒有什麼比這更重要的了。記住，這不僅是為了醫治，也是為了耶穌在十字架上完成的一切。


There Is Great Power in Communion
Kim Potter, Dayton, Tennessee
Over the past couple weeks, I have heard several stories of people battling illnesses. It seems like attacks on the body are happening all around.

Partaking of communion is one of the tools God has given us against sickness and disease; not only sickness, but any attack of the enemy. There is great power in communion. When we take communion, we align ourselves with the body and Blood of Jesus. In communion, we remember the fullness of what Jesus did at the Cross. Then, we receive the fullness into every area of our lives.

If you don't take communion often in the privacy of your home, I ask you to read this today and pray about making communion a part of your daily life – or at least a part of your week.

Do This in Remembrance of Me

"...and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, 'This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.'" (1 Corinthians 11:24)

Most people are familiar with communion, but only partake of communion on special occasions. I want to show you the power in private communion.

The word communion means "partnership," "participation," "intercourse" and "fellowship." Just from these definitions, you can see that communion is a very intimate thing. It is a time when we become ONE with Jesus and what He did at the Cross.

It is also called "the cup of blessing" (1 Corinthians 10:16), and symbolizes the seal of the covenant. We understand how a seal works. It covers and protects what is inside. It lets nothing of the outside in. (Photo via Unsplash)

In Luke 22, we find that Jesus greatly desired to eat this meal with His disciples before He went to the Cross. Communion is all about the Cross and what Jesus accomplished there. For me, communion still holds great mysteries. However, I have seen the power of the communion meal in my own life over and over again.

Becoming One With Him

1 Corinthians 10:16 says, "Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the Blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the Body of Christ?"

What this scripture is saying is that when we drink of our communion cup (whether we use grape juice or wine), we are drinking, fellowshipping with, becoming one with and partnering with the Blood of Christ. When we eat the bread, we are becoming one with, fellowshipping with and partnering with the Body of Christ. When we do this, we become one with all He accomplished at the Cross. We become partners with prosperity, healing, wholeness, soundness of mind and every other thing Jesus took back at the Cross.

You become one with Him who bought back right-standing with God; who empowered you to enjoy the good life He has for you, the life He died to give you. That's what you partner with in communion. And you remember Him – the One who bought it all back for us. You honor Him; you honor Jesus. You honor His body and His Blood. As you do, all that was purchased at the Cross will once again be sealed for you. The seal is applied as you partake of communion.

Breaking the Hold of the Enemy

For me, personally, communion has often broken the hold of the enemy in my life when it seemed like nothing else was working, especially where healing is concerned. I want to share one such time with you.

Several years ago, I was bitten by a Brown Recluse spider. The very next day, my leg began to swell. Since I am not accustomed to seeing a doctor right away, I took it to God and asked what I should do about it. He told me to trust Him. So, I did.

Over the next few days, my leg began to look like something that needed to be removed. My family was coming by daily to tell me that if I didn't do something, I would have to have my leg cut off. A nurse came by and told me that if I saw streaks going up my leg, it would mean the poison had entered my blood stream and there would be no saving my leg at that point.

After several days, the fever in my leg was almost unbearable. I had streaks up my leg from the poison in my blood and the pain was incredible. My leg was twice the size of my other leg – quite a sight to behold! I continued to confess God's Word and His faithfulness.

One night, when I thought I couldn't stand it anymore, I cried out to God and said, "You are going to have to do something here; my daughter is beginning to worry." He instructed me to take communion.

That night, I took communion. I received afresh all Jesus had purchased through His body for me. I remembered Him, and I sealed that covenant once again with His precious Blood. Then I went to bed, with my leg the same way it was before communion.

The next morning when I awoke, my leg was normal. You couldn't even tell I had ever been bitten, except for a small speck which I still have on my leg today. Through the finished work of the Cross, plus the daily confession of His Word, every symptom left and wholeness came back to my leg. Confessing the Word is powerful, and it will not return void. That being said, sometimes we have to seek God and see if there is anything else He would have us do. For me that day, it was to partake of communion.

Seal It With the Power of Communion

You know, all those people who had told me I was nuts, and that I would lose my leg, came to see me once again the following day. They stood in awe at the faithfulness of my God. God got all the glory.

Communion is powerful. Jesus desires that we partake of it often, and I agree.

The power of communion is unlimited. It brings you closer to Jesus. You become one with Him, you partner with Him, you fellowship with Him, and most of all, you remember what He did for you. You not only receive it, but seal it with the power of communion.

Take some time out this week for communion – you and Jesus in oneness. There's nothing else like it. And remember, it is not only for healing, but for everything Jesus accomplished at the Cross.
