Communion a Spiritual Meal...
"Moreover, Brethren, I would not that you should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
And all ate the same spiritual meat;
And did all drink the same spiritual drink:
for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them:
and that Rock was Christ."
1 Corinthians 10:1-4
Do you desire to drink from the Rock of His presence daily? Do you hunger and thirst after the Living Bread and Living Water...that which comes from the Rock? If we do not eat His fleah, and drink His blood, then we can we dwell within His presence?
Are you willing to eat of the true manna from Heaven...to proclaim the Lord's death until He comes...There is a promise of healing within Communion; yet many have not found it for Communion is a ritual in their tradition, not the act of intimacy within their God...
His body broken, so one might be saved; Blood shed, that one might be forgiven...
In the presence of the enemy one would partake in Communion, that in His presence it might be rest, peace and His Truth ...a place of refuge!
Who eats and drinks from the same spiritual meat and the same spiritual Rock of Christ that our fathers have?
Is there a true Communion within the act of Communion?
How often should one break bread with the Lord?
Take a moment and consider what it might be like to have a true meal with the Lord, partaking in the eating of His flesh and the drinking of His blood; through the bread and wine that symbolizes His death; that which broke the spiritual world wide open, and His Resurrection; to which the power of death was broken...
Come and partake of the sweetness of the Lord, abide in His presence, dwell within His Shadow...Celebrate the truth, dance upon the head of injustice, and rejoice in the joy of the Lord...

Indwelling Presence...
Kathryn Kuhlman had said,"The secret formula, the magic formula for life can be found in only one person, and that person is the Lord Jesus Christ. Through Christ we have been given the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, and out of our innermost being shall flow His river of Living Water."
The Greatest Power in The World, page 85
When one takes the time to consider these words there is something that grabs you; right about the heart....The mind is slow to acknowledge the truth that is held in these sentences; yet once it does it quickly relates to it. Kathryn not only speaks of the formula, but she explains what it is within the formula that makes it what it is, powerful.... As our relationship with the Lord grows deeper, so greater is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, allowing for His river of Living Water to flow more freely from within us... So it is today that the question is: How flows His Living Water from within you? Who today that you meet are you to allow the splashing over of this Water to hit? Who will come today to you in need of a drink from this Living Water? Have You secured your Water source, so that you have plenty within your reserve to share generously?
How deep does His River run within you?
In His Shadow, Soaking in His presence,
Resting within His river of Living Water;
so to continue to dance in the creases of His robe.

Owe Nothing But Love ...
Beloved,
Come and see that the Lord is good, that His goodness and mercy last forever. God does not change, nor does His Word grow stale...Daily we move about this kingdom, making some type of lasting effect... and many times we lose our focus on the situations around us, releasing all that we had embraced through the Word. This is not true for some of us, but many of us find ourselves more in touch with our flesh then His Spirit when it comes to dealing with those that live or work beside us; Yet the Word is clear in the fact that we are to love our neighbour as ourselves; we may make many excuses for why the flesh of our heart has not been circumcised in this area; How many of these reasons will hold truth in the light? Maybe we need to remember to daily release those who have inflected pain, or have judged us wrongly. To cover our neighbour with the blood of Jesus, especially when they are unable or unaware of the need to be covered. What better way to love thy neighbour than to release them, forgive them, and pray for them. It is good for us to remember that we may offend them also; with or without the knowledge of what we have done...How shall we live in peace in God's kingdom if we do not learn how to here? May we be as forgiving of others as we desire the Lord to be toward us...
"Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fullfilled the law.
...it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Love worketh no ill to his neighbour:
therefore love is the fullfilling of the law. And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to
awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the the works of darkness,
and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and
drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonnes, not in strife and envying.
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof."
Romans 13:8, 9b-14
Put on the garment of Praise; Worship Him in all you do this day...

What is Relevant in Your Life?
"Having therefore, brethren,
boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
By a new and living way, which hath consecrated for us,
through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
And having an high priest over the house of God;
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience,
and our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering;
(for he is faithful that promised;)
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is;
but exhorting one another:
and so much the more; as ye see the day approaching."
Hebrews 10:19-25
Boldness; something many of us have to little of, we walk a defeated and weak walk in the Lord ... Many of us live the Christian life as though there is little truth to the Word of God. The Word of God is not for the mild manner person, who has no intent to allow the Holy Spirit to transform them into a redeemed man or woman of the Lord. Consecrated of the Lord, is a term most are not familiar with, nor do they pursue this strong approach within their lifestyle.
Drawing near: another term that many hurting people have a difficult time with. There is a tendency to place the image of man on the face of God. Where our earthly fathers faultered, we assume God also will fail us; giving us every excuse we know of to only enter into the outer courts of the tabernacle. For some it takes a lifetime to reach that Holy of Holies (Praise The Lord they keep attempting till they reach it).
Holding fast: Now there is a phrase that many today have no concept. To hold on with all you have, allowing nothing to keep you from it...it being the profession of your faith. How does your life profess your faith?
In a nut shell, here it is: If you could not utter a word from your mouth, and the only means of communication was the fullness of your life, what would it speak of? A selfless life, served to bring glory to another? A humility that spoke little of your own wisdom and knowledge, yet pointed others to the wisdom and knowledge of He who through the created power of His Spirit created the World? A life filled with mercy and forgiveness toward others that would cause them to want what you have; a peace that passes all understanding, allowing one to rest within this peace...
Do your footprints lead others to the foot of the cross; where they may be washed clean in His blood? Where they may leave their burdens, picking up that which the Lord desires for them? Our walk crosses all barriers and borders, there is nowhere nor no one that could not be forgiven, healed, or saved....
"The Christian belief system, which the Christian knows to be grounded in divine revelation, is relevant to all of life."
Carl F.H.Henry

To Live in The Spirit...
Just desiring to share with you a little prayer that seems so right for today. Kathryn Kuhlman placed this nugget in the back of her book; following a word on how termites are similar to so called,"Little sins"... That just as tiny termites can cause a big building to tumble,eating away at the inside of the building until there is total destruction, so "little sins" eat away at the heart until the purpose for life is destroyed....
"I pray in the name of Jesus the Son of the Living God,
that You will destroy any termites of sin in our lives.
Cleanse us of all of them as we look ourselves directly in the face
and confess our own sins and shortcomings.
Search our hearts, O Lord.
In Jesus' name and for Jesus' sake,
destroy the termites.
Help us to keep our eyes off of self and on You.
Give us vision and take us out of ourselves.
Father, I pray for a fresh baptism of Your love and honesty that we have never had before.
And above everything else, keep us where the Holy Spirit can use us,
that the most profitable days of our lives shall be from this day forward,
for time is running out.
Our responsibility is great.
May not one of us fail You,
and in all things may the world see Jesus and Jesus only in us."
Amen
May we each remember that living this thing called a Christian life is the greatest thing, the most practical thing in the world. It truly is the only life; if we could only learn how to live it according to His purpose and laws, then we would experience the limitlessness of life in relation to His desire for each one of us...forgiveness, mercy, grace, truth, longsuffering, joy, peace,gentleness, goodness, faith,Meekness, and temperance...against such there is no law!
"And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
If we live in the Spirit,
let us also walk in the Spirit.
Let us not be desirous of vain glory,
provoking one another, envying one another."
Galatians 5:24-26

To Whom do You Belong?
Dear Beloved,
Please, consider this...
Now we come to the Holy Spirit, who is the power of Trinity.
Yes, the Father is the source of every blessing,
and perhaps you have also known that Jesus made all things possible to us,
but it is the Holy Spirit who is the power.
When the Holy Spirit is present,
the power of the Trinity,
His very presence will heal a sick body as that one sits in His presence.
That is His power!
"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us,
that we should be called the sons of God"
1 John 3:1
Believer and believers only are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.
God owns us.
We are His adopted children
with the right to all privileges and inheritance as His children.
We have received the Spirit of adoption,
and the Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God.
We are sealed because of what we are in Him,
not because of any merit of our own.
We are sealed because of that which Jesus did and the Holy Spirit,
Himself seals that transaction.
This seal is not some emotion, do not labor under some false illusion (as Kathryn Kuhlman writes), but the presence of the Holy Spirit in the believer witness to His full acceptance in Christ.
"As he is, so are we in this world,"
1 John 4:17
The Apostle says,
"As he is, so are we in this world," heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ Jesus.
Be urged to: Never forget to Whom you belong!
this is all in reference to Kathryn Kuhlman's book: "The Greatest Power in The World"
We must not forget this important fact, once you are capable of embracing this fact and living it; the revelations that follow are amazing! Are you living each and every day as though this may be the last day of your life? Are you more concerned for the souls of others then the issues about self? Do you live for the Lord or for yourself? Does it seem as though your flesh is satisfied more often then your spirit?
Deny self the right to be right, or to have the last word. Deny yourself the indulgence of another look in the mirror at yourself for any thing more then a glance; spend more time looking into others. Judge yourself before you speak words of judgment on others. Pray blessings on those who curse you or misjudge you. Heap coals of kindness on those who wrong you, instead of allowing self to become pumped up with pride because you are right... Love your neighbor as yourself. Release the power the Holy Spirit where ever you go, be watchful and walk in His presence where ever it leads...
In His Shadow, Soaking in His presence,
