1 Corinthians 11:26 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.
Some time ago, one of our church members developed deep vein
thrombosis
(DVT) while on a flight to Israel. As she was disembarking
from the plane,
she collapsed. She was rushed to the hospital. But on the way
there, her
heart stopped beating. Apparently, the blood clot in her leg
had gone to her heart,
causing it to stop beating. The doctors managed to revive her
heart after a few
attempts, but she remained unconscious.
When I arrived at the hospital with some of my church leaders
a few days
later, I was told that her condition had worsened. She was in
the Intensive Care
Unit (ICU). My leaders and I decided to partake of the Holy
Communion in the
ICU, proclaiming that Jesus had borne all her diseases,
including DVT, and that
His blood had already redeemed her from all curses, including
diseases and death.
The next day, she regained consciousness! Her recovery was so
supernatural
that after a week of observation, she was discharged and was
soon touring Israel
with the next tour group that arrived there.
In another case, a church member’s elderly mother underwent a
series of
operations and her condition deteriorated to the point where
the doctor told the
family to prepare for the worst. The family took Holy
Communion in the ICU.
They even put a small crumb in their mother’s mouth and poured
a little grape
juice in. On the third day, something miraculous happened —
their mother
regained consciousness, got well and was discharged not too
long after!
You see, each time you eat the bread and drink the cup, you
proclaim the
Lord’s death for you. You discern that the Lord’s body was
broken so that your
body can be whole. You discern that His healthy body has borne
your diseases and
pains, so that your body can be well. So when you eat the
bread, you say that by
His stripes you are healed. And when you drink the cup, you
are drinking the life
of Jesus which is in His blood.
Beloved, the life of Jesus is pain-free, disease-free and
poverty-free. It attracts
the favor and blessings of God. And because you have that life
in you, it causes
good things to happen to you!
