"REPLY TO JAN MIKAEL -- Let's eat the Word from God and let it become Life and Power in us !""


In your post at http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/aug2010/janm828.htm 
you stated, "Read, re-read, *Eat the Word* and understand, - That's the real meaning behind *the Holy Communion.* Let's understand, take the step, and follow the Holy Spirit's advice (remember He are the Divine Authority on Earth in our Time) so the word from God, can fulfill He's will in and through us, - So help us God, - amen - Praise the Lord !"  

Thanks Jan for pointing that out.  I would agree with you that we should do the will of God with the help of the Holy Spirit as doers of the word and not as hearers only. Our Lord
Jesus also said in John 4:34, "My meat is to do the will of him (God, the Father) and to finish his work."  So likewise we should also want to do the Lord's will which is contained in the Body of the Bible which is also called the word of God, and our Lord Jesus is also called THE WORD.  So we should take daily spiritual nourishment from the Body of the Bible, the word of God, because our Lord Jesus Christ said according to John 6:63, "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life."
 
However, to take it one step further, we drink the blood of Jesus everytime we ask God forgiveness for our sins, and He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and the blood of his Son, Jesus Christ, cleanses us from all unrighteousness and sin. (Please read 1 John 1:5-10). So we have daily communion with our Lord when we ask forgiveness for our sins by admitting the truth to Him and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from unrighteousness and sin, and also when we daily partake of the word of God, and understand it with the help of the Holy Spirit so that we live it out in our lives as an example to others.
