THE AGONY AND EMPATHY OF HOLY COMMUNION

 Today, another blurb from my manuscript that is likely to be named, So Goes the Church:

SERIOUS COMMUNION WITH GOD

Filled with the Holy Ghost is fully engaged with the Being of God; the same divine Substance that Jesus was fully engaged. Filled with the Holy Ghost of Jesus is a total mindset on Him and Him alone as Savior. The Christian is cognitive, having the thoughts (cognate) with Jesus and doing what Jesus would do and even think.

Unknown is that eerie cognitive substance. However, just the air is filled with waves, some of which, you intercept, so it is with the spirit world. That Satan is the “Prince of the Power of the Air” (Ephes 2:2) is more than an expression, but the spirit of demonic beings that penetrate like fiery serpents (Num 21:6); penetrate even your thick skulls and attack your mind.

So, cease thinking of the Holy Spirit as merely some substance but the flow of thoughts.

The “Church” would be a group of people over whom the Presence of God fills their minds. Communion is in remembrance (anamnesis) of Jesus (1 Cor 11:25). Anamnesis is total recall; recall what? That Jesus and Him alone died in your place.

How can anyone have total recall if communion is taken ritually or hurriedly? Christians should dwell on Christ and His goodness while absorbing His Body and Blood as if the crucifixion is right now again.

Transubstantiation is the Catholic mass wherein the elements that are eaten are transformed into the real Body and Blood of Jesus in the mouth. Not so! it is as if the communicant is taking the genetics, or countenance, of God into their own flesh. It is not done by a transfusion, but an infusion of truth into their minds; (i.e., seeing the crucifixion as happening again and again to experience what Jesus experienced.)

 It is seeing Jesus in His agony and feeling His pain, as if it is your own. Hence, Holy Communion is having total empathy for Jesus, and is working out, and continuing, salvation in your own minds. Holy Communion is both a time of agony and thanksgiving that it was not you who died, but His agony was a gift to save you agony!

Holy Communion is allowing God to saturate your minds with the agony which Jesus endured for you.

That should promote more significance to Holy Communion.

HIM RATHER THAN YOU
