-
I want us to get ready in our hearts for that request.
-
What you need God for. Get ready for miracles.
-
I mean, because the title of the day's message is the Miracle
-
meal. The miracle meal.
-
Praise God. And I love it because this is
-
this is it the miracle meal? Have you seen that?
-
Have you actually seen that? Yeah, that.
-
Oh, let me know. Praise God.
-
Well, let me put it up there so you can see that.
-
Here we go, The miracle meal. Somebody say the miracle meal.
-
Yeah, the miracle meal looks small, but it's powerful.
-
OK, so the miracle meal, how God uses the Lord's table to release
-
miracles. OK, I'm going to talk about 3
-
categories #1 resurrection power, then divine healing, and
-
then covenant victory in your life.
-
Are you ready, Church? OK, because every time we come
-
to the Lord's Table, we are not just remembering an event.
-
We're not just remembering history.
-
Some event that took place on Calvary.
-
OK. When we come to the Lord's
-
Table, we are receiving what was paid for.
-
OK? So we're not just remembering an
-
event, an historic event about Jesus, but we come, we receive
-
what Jesus paid for on the cross.
-
Life, healing, freedom, victory. Come on somebody.
-
That's what we're here for today, to receive our blessing,
-
our region. So let's just pray, Father, we
-
come ready to receive everything that you have for us today.
-
Lord, speak your word. Saturate this place with your
-
presence. Lord, let miracles be released
-
today, and I thank law that you touch every person by your
-
mighty power in the name of Jesus.
-
And God's people said Amen. So communion is more than a
-
religious tradition. We are coming, we are stepping
-
into the miracle working part of God.
-
So that is what communion is about.
-
We are stepping into God's miracle power.
-
So first of all, communion is not sad and it's not gloomy
-
moment, OK? No, OK, listen, we, it's not a
-
moment when we all look like we are at a funeral.
-
We are not at a funeral. Like I said, it's OK to smile.
-
So it's OK to smile and rejoice and all that because we are not
-
at a funeral, OK? Communion is a happy celebration
-
of victory, OK? That's community.
-
It's happy, it's a celebration. We thank God that the tomb is
-
empty, Jesus is alive, and so that is good news.
-
Somebody say good news. I mean, so Jesus is alive.
-
Somebody shot Hallelujah. That is a powerful truth in the
-
word of God that Jesus is alive, Hallelujah.
-
And so we are not yet to just go through the motions, to go
-
through a little boring little ritual, OK, like a communion,
-
sad, boring, gloomy, OK. Now we are stepping in to
-
something that is alive. The power, the working miracle
-
power of God. We are stepping into that.
-
We are receiving what God's part.
-
So some of us look so serious during communion.
-
You know, it's like the angels must be thinking that someone
-
forget to tell them that this story has got a happy ending.
-
OK. It's got a happy ending.
-
Oh, my God. It's not.
-
It's the grave is empty. OK.
-
The tomb, Jesus is alive. It's a happy ending.
-
Somebody, the tomb is empty. So, yes, we're allowed to laugh.
-
We're allowed to smile and enjoy communion, a time of
-
celebration. So go ahead and smile and, you
-
know, tell your face that your spirit is saved.
-
Yeah. Yeah.
-
OK. Yeah.
-
Because, you know, it's amazing because smiling and rejoicing
-
and laughter, by the way, is biblical.
-
It's not just for the pub and it's not just for the sporting
-
events and the footballer. It's for the church.
-
The church is supposed to be the happiest people on the planet.
-
Oh, I just feel the joy of the Lord already breaking out in
-
this place. The joy of the Lord because we
-
are the happiest people, OK? And we thank God the Christians
-
are full of the anointing, full of joy.
-
Because that is biblical. And if you read your Bible,
-
you'll actually realize that we follow God and God sits in the
-
heavens and he loves God is a laughing God is not sitting in
-
heaven also all like sad and gloomy.
-
God is rejoicing, OK, he's not struggling.
-
Jesus is not walking around in heaven sick and limping,
-
pneumonia. Oh, I need to go.
-
And you know, Jesus is not sick. Jesus is not tired, He's not
-
worn out. Jesus is very much alive and all
-
powerful creator of the entire universe.
-
Jesus is victorious. He's alive.
-
Somebody shout Hallelujah. Come on, give God some praise
-
and celebrate in this place. Yeah, because somebody is about
-
to be healed in this place. Somebody is about to get a
-
miracle. Somebody is about to get a
-
breakthrough like you've never seen before.
-
Somebody is about to get the victorious blessing from God
-
Almighty. So we are celebrating.
-
And the reason why somebody is about to get it because we are
-
coming to the Lords Table and there is power, communion.
-
There is power in the Lord's table.
-
Hallelujah. Yeah.
-
We don't serve a sick God. We don't serve a weak God.
-
We don't serve a God that is got conic fatigue, a God that is
-
distant and some planet some way far away, distant, sad.
-
No, we serve a powerful God. We serve a God of miracles, the
-
creator of this high universe that's happy, that's rejoicing,
-
that's celebrating and wants to see his church thrive.
-
Come on. We serve a God who is able to do
-
exceedingly, abundantly way above, more above than what we
-
can ask for freak of that's the God that we serve.
-
And our God gave us a very powerful gift, a grace gift, a
-
supernatural gift, and that is called the Lord's table.
-
Very powerful. Hallelujah.
-
Are you excited somebody? Because I'm very excited about
-
coming in today. Yeah.
-
And it's like, OK, just calm down, Pasta.
-
OK. Listen, when you're at a
-
football game and you tell the guy next and they just kicked
-
the goal and you tell the guy next to you to calm down.
-
Oh, come on, man. Oh, geez.
-
Oh, you had a boxing fight and a boxing is down.
-
Or we play racket and they score a try and you sit there in the
-
stadium and you tell the springboard guy and the
-
springboard J they just scored a try.
-
Listen, just calm down. Please don't tell me to calm
-
down. Don't tell that's I'm passionate
-
about it. I'm not going to apologize for
-
being excited about Jesus. I am not.
-
So for me comedian, I just want to let you know right from the
-
start, for me, communion is like a rugby sport try.
-
I mean, I get excited about it. It's like kicking that goal to
-
and that's a goal in football. I get excited about communion.
-
That is just I thank God. That's the passion that God has
-
given me for the communion table, because there's power in
-
it. There's power that's released
-
Every time I take a meal. I thank God for that.
-
There is miracle healing power. So this miracle meal is
-
powerful. And so, yeah, it's the only meal
-
where we don't count calories. For those counting calories, I'm
-
like, OK, we're not having cake or no, this is this is a
-
powerful. We don't count color, but we,
-
we, we do count covenants. Yeah, there's a covenant power
-
in here. And we're going to go in this,
-
we're going to go deep today if you're ready, because listen,
-
OK, your jump protein shake, I thank God for protein shakes and
-
the jump protein shake. That's all good.
-
OK, Now a protein shake in the gym, Yeah, it might give you
-
some muscles, might strengthen your muscles.
-
But this miracle meal, this miracle meal is powerful.
-
This miracle meal brings life. It brings strength into your
-
body. It and your whole body gets you
-
listen, It's stronger than protein and it's more than a
-
junk protein shake and more than a super food with vitamins and
-
all of that. We thank God for the
-
supplements. This is more this miracle meal
-
is more it's resurrection power. Somebody shout resurrection.
-
Wow, resurrection power. It's more than protein.
-
Oh my God, I feel that. I really pray you grab hold of
-
this today that you discern the body.
-
What we really what, because that's what Paul really was
-
saying to the Corinthians. Just don't just come casual to
-
this. We're not having just a social
-
club casually. This is not casual.
-
There's power in you. God has given this to us
-
covenant. So we come and we say, yes,
-
Lord, I thank you, Lord Jesus, because yeah, we desert today.
-
But this is not just an everyday ordinary meal.
-
This is a meal that heals. This is a meal that delivers.
-
This is a meal that brings breakthrough into our lives.
-
This is a meal that reminds the devil that he's a defeated foe.
-
This is a meal the devil hates this because this reminds him of
-
his defeated, that he's already defeated, that that's his meal.
-
I love to hold this communion up in the nose of the devil.
-
I said they will take that. The blood is against you.
-
Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
I'm telling you right now, when the table dimmers the table,
-
they're long gone. When they find out about
-
community, they're gone. They're not that they'll come
-
near communion. So here's the first thing that I
-
want you to get today at the Lord's table, and that is that
-
there is resurrection power at the Lord's table.
-
Resurrection power. OK, somebody shout resurrection
-
power, because if all that we had was a memory of a dead
-
Jesus, communion would be very sad little religious ritual.
-
But we don't serve a dead savior, we serve a risen king.
-
The children is empty, heavens throne room is occupied.
-
Jesus is alive. The risen king, he's alive.
-
Somebody showed Jesus is alive. He's alive in his resurrection.
-
That same power that raised Jesus from the dead is available
-
right now. Now I'm going to show that to
-
you. Romans chapter 8 it says in
Romans 8 chapter mention
-
verse 11 and if the spirit of him who raised Jesus from the
-
dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will
-
also quicken life to your mortal bodies because of his spirit who
-
lives in youth. Hallelujah, the Holy Spirit
-
didn't raise Jesus from the dead and then retire.
-
The Holy Spirit did not raise Jesus from the dead and said, oh
-
wow, I just did a massive big miracle.
-
What a big miracle, public miracle.
-
That was powerful. And now I am retiring.
-
I've done that. I've raised Jesus from the dead.
-
I'm done. That same spirit that raised
-
Jesus from the dead, the Bible says, now lives in you.
-
It lives in US. It works in US.
-
What he did to Jesus, the Bible says that same Holy Spirit is
-
alive and working and moving in and through our lives.
-
The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in US.
-
And if he's raised Jesus from the dead, he will raise
-
ourselves. Oh, Hallelujah, somebody.
-
And so communion is one of those moments where we intentionally
-
connect with the resurrection power.
-
That's our contact point. We connect with resurrection
-
power. Are you with me, somebody?
-
Because when Jesus said this is my body that's broken for you,
-
this is my blood, that is shade for you, He wasn't just giving
-
us a nice picture or a nice story.
-
He was giving us a point of contact.
-
It says here's your point of contact to connect with
-
resurrection power. Hallelujah.
-
And so you just come and you say, Lord, I thank you.
-
I receive what Jesus died, what he was raised.
-
I receive that. I thank you for that, for what
-
Jesus purchased for me. That's communion.
-
We are coming here this morning to receive what has been
-
purchased for us. So it's simple.
-
Communion is a natural act but with a spiritual impact.
-
I meant now it says here Paul says in the and 1st Corinthians
-
11 verse 23 says the Lord Jesus on the night he was betrayed
-
took bread 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.
-
In the same way after Subway took the cup saying this cup is
-
the new covenant in my blood. Do this whenever you drink it in
-
remembrance of me. Now it says there that when he
-
was betrayed, and I love that verse which says He given
-
thanks. Well, that is so powerful.
-
He gave thanks. Okay, so the night he was
-
betrayed, he gave thanks. In other words, Jesus did not
-
just look to the cross, but he looked through the cross to the
-
resurrection. Jesus looked, he did not just
-
look at the Friday, the dark Friday night Christopher, but he
-
looked beyond that. And he's like, oh, the glorious
-
Sunday morning is coming. And so when we come to the
-
Lord's table, we, we don't just remember the dark Friday night,
-
the Christopher, but we also remember that there's a glorious
-
Sunday that's coming, that the grave is empty because that the
-
story ends with a risen king. Hallelujah, Salvarishad,
-
Hallelujah. OK, Now, so when you hold that
-
bread in that cup, you are holding a reminder.
-
And so when we remind that secrets does not have the final
-
say, OK, so death or depression does not have the final say, sin
-
does not have the final say, the enemy does not have the final
-
say, but God has got the final say.
-
Hallelujah, somebody. That's what that is saying.
-
Glory be to God. So let me ask you, where do you
-
need resurrection power today? Maybe it is in a relationship.
-
Maybe it is in your finances that's dead or maybe your your
-
job feels dead. Maybe you'll walk with God just
-
feels dry or your marriage is gone cold or there's a
-
relationship that feels dead. Listen, what I love about this
-
message and the good news is that whenever something is is
-
lack or struggling or there's some situation in your life that
-
feels dead, that is where resurrection can come and begin
-
to work. That's where resurrection can
-
flow and step in and manifest and go to work.
-
So when you take communion, don't just think, oh, this is
-
just something that like a ritual we do at church.
-
OK, now when you do this, you receive it and you say, Lord, I
-
am believing you and be very specific to bring resurrection
-
into this area of my life, bring resurrection into my finances,
-
into my job, into my relationship, in my marriage, my
-
family. So be very specific when we take
-
communion, thanking God that you believe in him to bring
-
resurrection life. Because The thing is, many
-
people get, it's stuck here because of condemnation.
-
Communion Sunday advertised there.
-
And some people, they feel that instead of being all excited,
-
like, oh, while the, the football World Cup is coming, we
-
are all excited. You know, we, we got to get
-
excited as a church. Communion is coming.
-
There's a communion service. That carriageway is going to be
-
powerful. Now, instead of feeling excited
-
about communion, some people feel condemnation, fear, shame.
-
OK, thinking, well, how can I take the bread?
-
How can I take the cup? Because I've had a bad week.
-
I've messed up again. I've shouted at someone in the
-
traffic. So I've had a terrible week.
-
I am feel far from God. I am not worried.
-
I just don't feel worthy. I don't feel how am I?
-
I'm not even good enough. So you know, how can I take
-
communion? But listen, friend, if communion
-
were only for perfect people, if communion were only for people
-
who had a good week, nobody could take it, okay?
-
Communion is not performance orientated.
-
It's not okay you've had a good week.
-
Communion is not for perfect people that it's got it all
-
together and had a perfect week. Communion is not a reward for
-
having a perfect life. Communion is a grace gift from
-
God to His people. They said grace gives somebody.
-
So the enemy loves to twist the word and bring condemnation and
-
fear and shame and whisper you're not good enough, you are
-
unworthy. But here's the good news.
-
Jesus is the one who makes us worthy.
-
Without Jesus, none of us qualifies.
-
But with Jesus, all of us are invited.
-
That's our Jesus. Hallelujah, Romans 8 verse one
-
says it. Therefore, there is now no
-
condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
-
Not less condemnation, not reduced condemnation.
-
The Bible says no condemnation. And I'm here to tell somebody
-
today, this is not Condemnation Sunday, this is Communion
-
Sunday. Come on somebody.
-
Yeah, let's get excited for Communion Sunday.
-
Today there is no condemnation. We can come because Jesus did it
-
for us. What a gift.
-
Wow. I'm just so excited about
-
comedian. I'm looking forward to having
-
this super meal, receiving the Communion Sunday.
-
Listen, let me just give you a picture, OK?
-
At home, your kids, they don't stand at the kitchen door and
-
say, mom, dad, am I worthy tonight to come and eat?
-
No, of course not, OK, That's just if the kids come, they're
-
like, oh, daddy or mommy, you know, am I worthy to come and
-
eat at the table, at the dinner table?
-
Am I worthy? I've had a bad day at school, Am
-
I worthy? No, that's not how parents, good
-
parents. Listen, when there's dinner
-
time, they come to the table. It's dinner time, family time.
-
They come to the table because we're family.
-
That's why we come to. So Communion as a family of
-
Christ, it's a family dinner. It's not a job interview, OK?
-
It's coming as a family of Christ, Church family we have in
-
communion, OK. And so you don't come to the
-
Lord's table because you had a perfect week.
-
You don't come to the Lord's table because you perfect.
-
You've done everything. No, you come because you are
-
part of a family. We're part of the family of God.
-
We are family, I mean somebody. And So what happened was it's
-
not because of good works or we've had a good week or we've
-
been perfect people. It's just because Jesus loves us
-
and he shed his blood on the cross and that made us the
-
children of God. So we are the sons and the
-
daughters of God. I mean somebody.
-
Now let me break this down a bit more.
-
Imagine a little child who has fallen outside in the mud,
-
close, all dirty, knees scraped, tears running down the face,
-
injured and now a good parent. Don't stand at the door and and
-
say, OK, well go and fix yourself.
-
Go and change your clothes. Go and wash yourself, clean
-
yourself up. Then maybe I will consider for
-
you to come into the house. Of course not.
-
Good parents open the door. My child has fallen.
-
They heard they just a good parent open.
-
So carry them in, wash them, put on fresh clothes.
-
A good parent picks the child up, carries them, nurse them and
-
sit them at the table. That is a good parent.
-
Somebody, are you getting this? It's so simple.
-
Communion draws us closer to God.
-
It draws us closer to our Father, our heavenly Father.
-
And so, communion, it whispers to you that you are forgiven.
-
You are free, you are loved, you are cherished, You are welcome
-
at the dinner table, you are welcome at the King's table.
-
Come and have a seat. So God doesn't go and check your
-
performance record and see how we've performed and how well
-
we've done this week. He doesn't check your church
-
attendance record before. He says come and let's eat now.
-
He checks the blood of Jesus because he looks at the blood of
-
Jesus through the blood of Jesus and he says, oh, paid in full,
-
Let's pull out the check comment set at the table as a family
-
together. Isn't that amazing?
-
Church, Are you getting this somebody?
-
OK, so there's resurrection power at the Lord's table.
-
And so resurrection power, let me just say this, it's not just
-
only the big public miracles, but resurrection power is also
-
for our inner life. So when there's anxiety,
-
resurrection come and brings peace.
-
OK, So when there is like, let's say shame or something like
-
exile or like shame that says you are dirty, resurrection
-
power comes and says you're clean.
-
Yeah. When you feel guilty,
-
resurrection power brings freedom.
-
So you, some of you don't just need a physical healing in your
-
physical body, but you need resurrection power in your
-
identity because you see yourself as a failure.
-
See, you're always behind and the mistakes you have repeated
-
the mistake so many times that that's what you think who you
-
are. But when you come to the Lord's
-
table, resurrection power whispers and will tell you and
-
remind you that I am who God says I am.
-
I am redeemed, I am righteous in Christ Jesus.
-
OK, I am the child of God and I am seen at the King's table.
-
Hallelujah, somebody. I've seen this in my own eyes.
-
In South Africa. There was this young man in his
-
20s, and so he was trapped in drug addiction.
-
And so his family was basically given up on him.
-
But by the grace of God, I just shared with him, listen, God
-
loves you. He's got a plan for your life.
-
And I shared the gospel with him.
-
By the grace of God, I led him to the Lord.
-
He gave his life to Jesus, so he said Jesus be my Lord and my
-
Savior. So he got born again, became a
-
child of God. That was the first thing.
-
The second thing that the Bible says, just like Jesus was
-
baptized, we need to be baptized.
-
So I baptize him in water. That's Bible.
-
Then the third thing that I did, I said, OK, now I'm going to
-
pray a prayer for receiving the Holy Spirit, the baptism of the
-
Holy Ghost and fire. And so Jesus baptized him with
-
the Holy Ghost and fire. So there's a free thing.
-
And then the fourth thing we took communing together.
-
Now this is where things got really interesting, very, very
-
powerful, because when we took that communion together, with
-
tears streaming down his face, he took that little bread and he
-
prayed, Jesus, if you were raised from the dead, you can
-
raise me out of this drug addiction.
-
And within that moment, something shifted, something
-
changed. Something.
-
That addiction broke off. His life snap, that chain broke
-
right there. The cravings, no withdrawal,
-
some no long drawn battles. It broke right there in that
-
moment of his life, freedom, that addiction broke off.
-
No more long cycles. And then years later, he let
-
other people at Rio clinics, he read other people of drug
-
addictions to freedom. Now, that's what I'm talking
-
about. That's what I'm talking about.
-
It is just so supernaturally powerful.
-
He led other people to Christ and telling them the night that
-
he came to the Lord's table, how God turned my grave into a
-
garden and he shared his testimony, how that communion,
-
the power that he received to be set free, He ministers to
-
others. There's power and communion.
-
There's power in communion. You know, I think about a young
-
wife whose marriage was on the rocks.
-
Her marriage was hanging on the fridge.
-
Husband walked out, left the kids confused.
-
She shattered. She don't know what to do.
-
She came to a prayer meeting. She holed up the communion.
-
And in that prayer, she's like, oh, my God, my marriage is
-
broken. It's gone.
-
I don't even know where my husband is.
-
He's gone. And she prayed A communion
-
prayer. When she held that bread in the
-
communion, she said, Lord, resurrection power, resurrect my
-
marriage that I cannot fix. I don't even know where my
-
husband is. When she took communion that
-
same night, out of nowhere, he phoned.
-
Honey, I don't know what's going on.
-
I don't know what's happening, but I want to come home.
-
Oh, yes, I feel a lot of them on your morning.
-
Yours because God will turn your marriage around.
-
Take that comedian wherever you find yourself in the office, in
-
the workplace. I have one with me in the car
-
even when I drive and I just stop at the place and I say I'm
-
going to just take comedian. Oh, that whole situation shuts
-
in a moment. Oh, miracle working power of the
-
communion. Yeah, it's very powerful.
-
And yes, that couple today, they back together serving God as a
-
family, Power of communion. Say this out loud.
-
Say resurrection power is working in my life.
-
They'll give God some praise. Come on, somebody, I declare
-
this. Over your life, every dead thing
-
come alive. Every dead finances come alive.
-
Every dead marriage come alive. Every dead child come alive,
-
dead joy, love again come alive. Come alive in Jesus name.
-
Hallelujah. Somebody, somebody's heart just
-
got mended off. Right is gone.
-
I feel that. Yeah.
-
Jesus name. That's how quick it happens when
-
the resurrection power is surging in this room.
-
Something's happened right now, and I also want this
-
resurrection on your arm as well.
-
Now listen, diabetes is going. Diabetes, asthma, asthma,
-
asthma, yes, just raise your hand.
-
Asthma is going. Asthma is going, yes.
-
Digestive systems, raise your hand.
-
Digestive system, that is happening right now.
-
There's resurrection power that's surging in this room very
-
quickly. Yes, that's right.
-
Diabetes, I see it right now. It's leaving.
-
It's bowing at the name of Jesus.
-
Asthma, digestive situations, these curves, it's broken.
-
It's broken. Sicknesses are being healed
-
right now. Trauma is broken off.
-
Somebody in the name of Jesus. I see that on you Jesus, your
-
eyes years as well. It's just happened.
-
It's something shifted and I I just want to be obedient.
-
It's shooting right through your body in Jesus name.
-
You feel that Eileen, the power, the resurrection power of Jesus
-
Jesus name. You see you might not even see
-
it yet in the natural, but in the spirit God is breathing on
-
every dry bone. I can barely stand you by the
-
glory of God. Father, this arm is being healed
-
and every arthritis is leaving. Diabetes is bound at the name of
-
Jesus. Cholesterol.
-
There it is. Now you're healed.
-
How did the doctors your your collarbone healed in how many
-
weeks, Simon? But six weeks?
-
Yeah. You see, that's what happened
-
with the resurrection power. You're you're it's going to.
-
You're always going to you already feel it.
-
Hey, that upright this I just saw that anybody else with the
-
condition yet? It's anointing of the Holy
-
Ghost. This is the power of communion
-
that interrupts meetings. So I'm just going to be a bit
-
into the Holy Spirit because I don't normally do this, but I
-
just saw that shift like that in the Spirit.
-
You might not see it yet in the natural.
-
Sometimes the symptoms might be there.
-
Listen, don't despise. It's that miracle.
-
The the the resurrection power is working.
-
God is breathing on every dry bone right now.
-
It's happening. It's happening.
-
Anybody else? Father, everybody healed.
-
Yeah. So I just want to carry on, but
-
I just felt that interruption and Holy Spirit have your way in
-
this place, resurrection search in this place.
-
Holy Spirit can interrupt me. This is the meeting of Almighty
-
God. We are all under the authority
-
of his name is Jesus Christ. He have his free will in this
-
place. Everyone, we all will be
-
authority of Jesus Christ. Jesus is the one I I'm seeing
-
prodigals are coming back home right now.
-
These prodigals coming back right now, the blood is calling
-
them this blood. This comedian is calling
-
prodigals home prodigal sons, prodigal daughters.
-
OK, the enemy's time is expired. The enemy's time, they're coming
-
in. Somebody on drugs in the name of
-
Jesus, they're coming back. I'm I'm calling them back in the
-
name of Jesus. These marriage situations has
-
been resolved in the name of Jesus.
-
If you're believing God for a partner to get married, this is
-
your moment right now. Claim it, claim it, Say yes,
-
Lord. If there's marriage that needs
-
healing, claim it. Say yes, Lord, my marriage will
-
be healed and whole because the blood of Jesus is calling.
-
He's calling. Wow, wow, wow.
-
Praise God. So resurrection power, listen,
-
if that resurrection power, that same power, OK, now we're not
-
talking about like like voltage. We talk about power can raise
-
the dead savior Jesus. He can touch your body.
-
He can touch your marriage, your finances.
-
He can touch your situation. If he can do that to Jesus, a
-
dead savior dead 3 days in the grand, if he can raise him from
-
the dead, he can touch your life.
-
Come on, somebody, we're not going to limit God here today.
-
Oh, he can touch your body. He can touch your bones.
-
He can touch your mind. He can touch your immune system.
-
He can touch your organs, your eyes, your ears.
-
How are you feeling, Eileen? You feeling better?
-
What was it? The eyes?
-
You feeling better now? You see?
-
You see? Come on, somebody.
-
Let's thank God. There's miracles in this place.
-
This is a House of miracles. Come on.
-
We will not walk out of this place the same.
-
It's like when we take the car in for the MOT.
-
I don't just want the brakes and the wheels.
-
Just do the full car, full MOT, summer, everything.
-
So make your list before God and say right Lord, this, this,
-
this, that. OK, Lord touch, this area of
-
right is gone. How are you feeling buddy?
-
Anybody still with Pioneer? Now is your moment.
-
You're feeling better. You're feeling better.
-
Jesus. We don't have to sit with pain.
-
We don't have to struggle with these sicknesses.
-
So at this table, resurrection power is released and then
-
divine help. So it brings us to our second
-
points, divine help, because if Jesus can raise the dead, he can
-
heal the sick. The Bible says it by his stripes
-
we are healed and we will pass things we will as that's
-
happened on the cross. So He can certainly heal the
-
sick, right? And so the bread that we're
-
about to receive represents His body that was broken so that our
-
bodies can be made whole. Now somebody say, I receive it.
-
Amen. Because God has ordained the
-
Lord's table for us to come to communion.
-
And that is one of the ways we receive divine healing.
-
When we plot taken, we receive our community, we receive divine
-
healing flows into our life. Say this with me, Divine health
-
is mine. I am healed by his stripes.
-
Start again by his stripes I am healed.
-
Now give God some praise and thank Him in advance for your
-
healing, OK? Because if the enemy cannot keep
-
you out of heaven, He will try everything to keep you broke on
-
the way there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-
He will try everything to keep you sick, worn down, exhausted,
-
chronic fatigue on your way to heaven.
-
If he cannot keep you out of heaven, He'll do anything to
-
keep to keep you broke on the way.
-
You see, here's the thing. Because the enemy living below
-
what Jesus purchased for us, that's what the enemy wants.
-
He wants you to live beneath what Jesus paid for what Jesus
-
purchased. Because for Jesus didn't just
-
die to get you into heaven. Jesus didn't just die to get you
-
into heaven. One day Jesus died to get heaven
-
into you, to get heaven into your spirit, into your mind,
-
into your bones, your body, to get heaven into you.
-
That's why he died. That's why he came, not just for
-
a ticket. One day in heaven, yes, that's
-
glorious, that's wonderful, glorious bodies.
-
But what about now? Oh no, we have to soften up.
-
Jesus came that we can have life and have it more abundantly to
-
live pain free, sickness free, free from sickness and curses
-
and fatigue and tiredness and stress.
-
Jesus died to give us life right now so that we can enjoy our
-
life right now, not just one day in heaven.
-
That is our Christian heritage and service of the Lord as
-
children of God. So to get heaven into your mind
-
and yes, into your body, because God created your body.
-
Jesus took on a body and then he took stripes on his back in his
-
body because your body is important.
-
God wants your body. Wow.
-
He wants your body strong and healthy.
-
He doesn't want us to walk around with aches and pains.
-
That's why he brings healing in this.
-
That's why there's healing in his house today.
-
That's why we have all come and we say, Lord, I'm believing you
-
to receive healing today because your body matters.
-
Your body is very important. So it's if our bodies are God,
-
listen, our spirits needs to be hosted somewhere.
-
God needs a body on the earth. He doesn't fly right.
-
It's not like without a That's why he had to come through his
-
Son and take on a body. That's why no devil, a demon is
-
allowed. They want to possess bodies.
-
That's why when Jesus cast them out of the man, they went into
-
the pigs. Devils and demons always looks
-
for bodies and they are not allowed in our bodies.
-
So Christ is living in our bodies.
-
So that's why God is going to heal our bodies and keep our
-
bodies healthy and strong. He wants our bodies strong.
-
So it matters Now it says in Isaiah 53 verse 4 surely took up
-
our pain, bore our suffering, yet we considered Him punished
-
by God, stricken by Him and afflicted.
-
But He was pierced for our transgressions.
-
He was crossed for our iniquities.
-
The punishment that brought us peace was on Him and by His
-
wounds we are healed. Now this is Old Testament.
-
Now let me show you that this has been confirmed in the new
-
covenant and that says in Peter He looked back at the cross and
-
this new covenant confirms this. Again in first Peter 2 verse 24,
-
he says He himself bore our sins and in His body on the cross so
-
that we might die to sins and love for righteousness.
-
By His wounds you have been healed.
-
You have been healed. You have been healed.
-
I mean, and that is powerful apostens.
-
You have been healed because you have been healed on the cross.
-
You can receive healing in your life, in your body today.
-
Hallelujah. Come on, somebody.
-
Yes, yeah. So at the cross, Jesus, he
-
didn't just carry your sins. He, we thank God for that, but
-
he also carried our sicknesses both.
-
So it says that if you look at it, he's carried our sins.
-
So we get born again, safe, forgiven our son, but also
-
carried our sicknesses. So he paid the price, paid for
-
number for forgiveness, but then also he paid for our healing.
-
Come on somebody, Amen. So there's two forgiveness
-
belongs to you, forgiveness is yours, and healing belongs to
-
you. Come on, say that healing is
-
mine. Yeah.
-
And so the table, God's table, that is the original divine
-
healthcare plan. Yeah.
-
If we go back to the first Passover night in Egypt, when
-
God brought the children of Israel out of Egypt, God gave
-
them a very simple instruction right there in the word of God.
-
And he says, listen, take a lamb, kill it and apply the
-
blood on the doorposts and then eat the lamb.
-
So we apply the blood so that when the destroyer comes, we'll
-
Passover there's protection when the blood has been applied.
-
Now they didn't know all the theology.
-
They had a simple instruction, apply the blood, eat the lamb.
-
That was the instruction. And because of the when they the
-
very next morning, because God was getting ready to bring
-
freedom the very next morning, I want to read this to you.
-
When they walked out of Egypt. This is supernatural.
-
The Bible says after they have eaten that Passover lamb.
-
I want you to see the power of this.
-
After they had that Passover lamb, The Bible says Non feeble,
-
non feeble, my man Gee, Psalm one O 5.
-
He also brought them out once again.
-
I brought them out loaded silver and gold, and there was none
-
feeble amongst his tribes. Gee, think about that.
-
Millions of people, yes, people, young and old people.
-
Millions. They've had years of back
-
breaking work. I'm talking about construction,
-
hard physical labour work. Come on, slavery, slaves, that's
-
not easy job. That is physical labour.
-
Imagine the animals, the pains, just think of that.
-
They have one meal. Oh, the next morning they'll
-
heal. Jesus, I feel the anointing of
-
God, the healing power in this place, non feeble, non sick,
-
millions of slaves were for years back breaking healed.
-
Jesus, my God, non feeble, they were all strong.
-
So if a lamb, an animal can do that, a Passover lamb under the
-
old covenant, an inferior covenant can bring strength to
-
an entire nation, How much more? The Lamb of God, the blood of
-
Jesus, the miracle meal that God will strengthen your life.
-
Hallelujah. We are in the new covenant.
-
It's better promises, it's stronger.
-
The Lamb of God is stronger. An entire nation, same God who
-
kept them strong. That same God and they ate a
-
lamb. That same God, he wants to keep
-
you strong as we come and you honour the body of Jesus in the
-
miracle meal. Same God keep you strong when we
-
honour the meal and when we take it by faith.
-
Somebody's getting this because the Bible says there was none
-
feeble, no one sick, not one person among them, no one
-
dragging A limp, no one bowed by depression, no one struggling,
-
No one sick, no one tired, chronic fatigue, none feeble.
-
And that Passover meal sustained an entire nation through famine,
-
serpents, scorpions, through difficulties, through
-
challenges. A Passover meal sustain them the
-
same way. Now communion is sustaining you
-
through your difficulties in life, through your storms,
-
through your wildernesses, through your challenges.
-
Hallelujah for the communion meal.
-
Somebody shout Hallelujah. Yeah.
-
Praise God. Before you go into a board
-
meeting or some important meeting.
-
You know, Michelle and I do all the time.
-
They say Communion air right there, slipping Communion right
-
there. Just take it wherever you are.
-
Find yourself in the car. I have these wherever I go.
-
I'm like, come on, let's take communion quickly.
-
Very powerful, Very powerful. Don't just limit it to a church
-
meeting. Everywhere you go, have
-
communion. Take it.
-
Come on. Think about prescription.
-
The doctor gives you a prescription.
-
OK, Take the tablet in the morning.
-
Take the tablet in the evening, but now you take the box of
-
medication and you leave it on the shelf.
-
Oh, go back to the doctor. Doctor, your medicine doesn't
-
work. OK, right.
-
So you'll say, well, did you take it because medicine works
-
when you take it, not stare at it on the shelf and keep the box
-
closed. It works when you the same with
-
communion, It works when you take it, when you actually take
-
and receive their communion and not just stare at it because
-
Jesus had already paid the price for your healing, for your
-
freedom, for your victory. He's already paid for it on the
-
cross. So it's so simple.
-
The cross is the cure. That's where he paid for it.
-
That's the answer, that's the solution.
-
Communion is taking the dose. Communion is the prescription.
-
When Jesus comes, let me prescribe to you.
-
I've done it on the cross. Now let me give you the
-
prescription. Antibiotics.
-
Take this for 10 days. Simple.
-
Doctor gives you the antibiotics prescription, Go to the
-
pharmacy, get it, Take it. Simple.
-
God says my son paid for it, now I want you to take it.
-
I'm going to give you the prescription.
-
My son and my daughter, very simple.
-
Yes, my heavenly medicine for you, take it.
-
It's time for the church to believe the power of communion.
-
Take the medicine, have it every day and you receive 1 what Jesus
-
paid for. That is taking the dose.
-
That's what God says. Take it and receive what my son
-
has paid for. So we are not, it's not
-
performance driven, it's not we're not earning anything.
-
We are receiving what he has paid for already.
-
So healing belongs to you. It's yours.
-
That's what belongs to us as a church.
-
It belongs to us. Healing belongs to you.
-
Let me tell your neighbor healing belongs to you.
-
Yeah. And so this is communion.
-
It's God ordained way to say, OK Lord, I thank you that I am
-
taking it. What you did on the cross.
-
That's how I am taking what you achieved and accomplished and
-
won on victory. He won the healing, he won the
-
blessing, the victory. So I take that that prescription
-
method you've I receive what you've paid for in my body, my
-
mind, in my emotions. There's a very powerful
-
testimony of a minister of God in the 1970s and with he was
-
diagnosed with bone cancer. And so this minister of God, he
-
decided to read a book very Smith Wigglesworth.
-
Now by the way, Smith Wigglesworth often taking
-
communion. When you read his book, you'll
-
see that often taking communion sometime a daily basis
-
regularly, OK, Now some the Holy Spirit will prompt you
-
sometimes, like with the course of antibody, you, you just go
-
for a couple of weeks straight every day, sometimes still three
-
times a day. You just you need that dose.
-
You need it very strong very quickly.
-
Sometimes there's times then you you don't.
-
So you just flow as the Lord leads you to take communion.
-
OK. And so Smith Wigglesworth would
-
take communion daily. And so this minister, he was
-
very inspired by that. And so he decided I, you know,
-
I'm also going to take communion on a regular basis.
-
And so every day after every day, he would take communion.
-
He would take communion and he would receive the finished work
-
on the cross. He would quote healing
-
structures. He would thank God for what
-
Jesus has already done on the cross that is already finished.
-
And what started happening is his strength started coming
-
back. And he was like, wow, it's like
-
my strength is returning. And so I went back to the
-
doctor's and they checked it. And so the test finally revealed
-
no trace of cancer. That minister went back into
-
full time ministry, completely healed God.
-
Jesus completely healed miracle working power of God.
-
Something shifted when he daily come in and because he, his
-
faith connected, see, it's a point of contact.
-
His faith connected with the healing that was already paid
-
for by the stripes of Jesus, see, and that's what I see when
-
I take communion. I see him with these stripes.
-
See that when you see, when you take communion, because this is
-
how do you approach this meal with faith?
-
That's how you do it. So when you come to the table at
-
church or at home, very simple cracker bread at home and you
-
take communion #1 this is what we do.
-
Pause and focus on Jesus. And you see Jesus on the cross.
-
You see him that stripes on his back.
-
You see that and you see his love for you #2 name the need.
-
Be very specific. Lord, I'm believing you for
-
healing in my lungs, my bones, in my back.
-
I'm believing you for healing for specifically for this.
-
Because when you're very specific, you say, Lord, I
-
believe your resurrection power in my marriage, in my finances,
-
in my mind, in my emotions. Be very specific #3 see the
-
exchange. So as you look and you take the
-
bread, you see the pain on Jesus.
-
That's biblical. You see the sickness and your
-
fear on Jesus. That's what the Bible says, what
-
he did on the cross. Now come on, this is Bible, as I
-
53 with the Bible says, He took that on him.
-
So you see the problem, the struggle at work or whatever
-
sickness or the pain or the emotion on Jesus.
-
And then don't just stop there. When you see Jesus, the
-
suffering on Jesus, then you see he's healing flowing into you.
-
He's love, He's strength coming into you, very practical way of
-
taking communion. And then the last one, thank him
-
in advance. Even if you don't feel nothing
-
happening, thank him in advance because his word is true.
-
And you say God, I thank you that it is finished, it is done.
-
I'm thanking you in advance for this problem he solved.
-
The sickness is healed. I got the break.
-
So you thank him in advance, even if you feel nothing, you
-
just thank him anyway. And you just say, Lord, I thank
-
you because I've done communion many, many years and and there's
-
been times there's an instant relief straight away, I'm
-
healed, the pain's gone. I've had that many times.
-
I'll remember I was in one church meeting was very
-
powerful. This lady traveled very, very
-
far all the way from the stage to come.
-
Specifically it was because I grew up in a Church of miracles
-
and the man of God walked up to this lady.
-
She was in so much pain flying all the way for all those hours
-
on the plane. She didn't she was a bit of a
-
not even. She was like thinking well if
-
God heals me or not I don't really know.
-
But her daughter really convinced her to come.
-
She was sitting in the meeting. Man of God gave her the
-
communion. I was in that meeting.
-
I thought I was looking for the video clip because it is
-
somewhere. My God, the power of God touched
-
her. She got up like this.
-
She walked when she had that, she was still chewing on actual
-
bread. And for the first time she gave
-
steps and she's like, Oh my God, it's gone.
-
All the pain is gone. Come on, all of it is gone.
-
God, God, listen, this is true. She's been interviewed, she's
-
been tested by doctors, verified medically that that disc has
-
been completely healed. She travelled back to the United
-
States, testified everywhere on the news because of the healing
-
power of God. So I've seen the instant where
-
it happens in an instant like that.
-
But then sometimes healing is progressive.
-
So it happens over a time period.
-
OK. So it's not always OK the, the
-
tumor disappear or the the lumps gone.
-
It's not sometimes the miracle marinates so it slows OK, so
-
there is a process, you know do not despise the slow miracles,
-
OK, Even if you still feel the symptoms, just continue to give
-
thanks, continue to believe it's like taking a vitamin.
-
Now when we take vitamin tablets, you don't feel a
-
dramatic change straight away. Like like anything, a vitamin,
-
you've over time your body starts feeling stronger because
-
you've taken the vitamin supplement of it's all like for
-
instance, planting a seed in the garden.
-
When you plant the seed, it takes time for it to grow.
-
You don't see, oh, OK, I've just planted.
-
Now there's a flower. It takes time for it to grow.
-
So there's that aspect of progressive healing that takes
-
place over time. You feel stronger and freer as
-
you keep on taking community because God's life is at work.
-
Is this helping somebody? Is this okay?
-
Okay, because I want to. Can I throw in something else
-
just before I just want to do one more.
-
Can I go a little deeper? Is that okay?
-
A little bit more. Are you ready for a little bit
-
more? Okay, a little bit deeper.
-
Okay, let's go. Let's talk about this covenant
-
victory. I want to show you how this all
-
is legally, eternally and spiritually sealed by a blood
-
covenant, very powerful. I want you to grab hold of this
-
as we bring this to a close, OK? Because Jesus said very powerful
-
in Luke 2220. This cup is the new covenant in
-
my blood which is poured out for you.
-
OK, now covenant, that word is huge.
-
Covenant's powerful. It's a difference between
-
covenant and contract. We live in a world full of
-
contracts and you've got a phone contract, mobile contract,
-
right? You've got a gym contract.
-
Go to the gym, take out a contract.
-
House contract, contract. OK, so if you've got a mobile
-
phone contract, you don't pay the contract.
-
What happens? Deals off, right?
-
That's contract. Did I pay for the contract?
-
Deal off. OK, but cars are called us into
-
a contract. Cars called us into a covenant.
-
Now in Bible days, covenant is sealed by blood.
-
So I give my life to back what I promise.
-
Jesus gave his blood, saying everything that I got on the
-
cross of Calvary now belongs to you.
-
That's covenant. Everything legally, spiritually,
-
eternally, I give it to you. It is yours, it belongs to you.
-
So the blood of Jesus, that is your guarantee.
-
And So what God has promised, he will make it to come to pass
-
because of the blood of Jesus. That is your guarantee for
-
victory. The Bible says in Revelation
Revelation 12 chapter mention
-
chapter 12, he says that this is how believers overcome.
-
We overcome by the blood of the land.
-
OK, so it's not passive. The blood is active.
-
It's a heavenly legal language. The blood speaks, the blood
-
protects, the blood covers. When the Israelites put the
-
blood on the doorpost, what happened when the destroyer came
-
Passover. Thank you.
-
So he had to what Passover. Now who there was, they were
-
homes in Israel and they were homes in Egypt.
-
So what happened? Somewhere there had to be
-
judgment, somewhere there had to be deaf.
-
OK, Now what happened within? So there was either a land that
-
died or a first born that died. He said you are covered when you
-
plead the blood. Some of you need to start
-
painting the blood of your lives, of your family.
-
Every morning I cover my family with the blood.
-
I for blood to destroy it from touching anything that belongs
-
to you. Plead the blood of your
-
vehicles, your cars. You plead the blood everywhere
-
we go. We need to start painting the
-
blood again, Judge, when we wake up in the morning, I paint the
-
blood over my house. I play because that's a biblical
-
principle in the word of God. It is a blood covenant.
-
That's your guarantee. Come outside with me.
-
The blood is my guarantee. And so when Jesus lifted up the
-
cup and he said, listen, this cup is the new covenant in my
-
blood, he was announcing I'm signing your freedom papers in
-
my blood. I'm signing your your
-
protection, your safety. I'm signing your freedom in my
-
blood. And so when you hold this cup
-
today in the natural, it looks small, like, you know, going to
-
wait for and some juice looks small.
-
But in the spirit, it's powerful.
-
It's powerful. It's mighty in the spirit.
-
OK, so this week I watched my wedding video, and it's a long
-
video. And yeah, it's amazing.
-
Our prophet Michelle, she was just convincing a little bit of
-
it and put it on I think Facebook or something.
-
I'm not on Facebook, but just put it on there.
-
But it's amazing. So it was like a long video and
-
it brought back so many incredible miracles of memories.
-
Well, I saw, I mean, our pastor, he's in heaven now.
-
What a man of God flowing in the miraculous.
-
So powerful to see so many people.
-
And it was but where we took communion together to seal it
-
before God. I thought then wait, Michelle
-
just had tears in her eyes. It just brought back memories
-
since the day we got married and it's now 19 years later.
-
Oh, I love her. I still love her son.
-
And you know, I'll just marry her again anyway.
-
I'm like, OK, look, I'm sorry, but I I I married this amazing
-
woman. She OK, I live with her.
-
I finger. What does it feel to live with
-
like a prophet? How does it feel to live with
-
the prophet? OK, well, she knows everything.
-
I can't hide nothing from her. She sees and knows everything,
-
but I love that I love transparency.
-
I love open communication. There is nothing hidden, nothing
-
which open books. I love it.
-
I really love doing life with her.
-
She's amazing. And so 19 years later, here we
-
are. I love it even more now than I
-
even think like when we first start, it's amazing.
-
And so we communion together sealed it.
-
Now if I take my ring and I can't, I can't get can't get it
-
off. I've never taken it off, but if
-
I take the ring and it's just by its own, it's just a piece of
-
metal, tiny piece of metal. But on me it's stands for
-
something powerful. I'm in covenant.
-
I belong to somebody. So it's a which what it
-
represents that makes it powerful.
-
OK. And so the same.
-
Yeah. Now if you think of the bride
-
standing at the altar, now here's the bride standing on the
-
front and the groom comes and so he slips a ring on her finger.
-
And so the groom says to her by this ring ID wedding, what I
-
have is now yours. Everything that belongs.
-
And that's what I we put the ring on finger.
-
Everything that's mine is yours. I'm in covenant.
-
That's how a covenant works, right?
-
I now belong to you. We belong to each other in the
-
same way, this communion cup, it seems very little and it seems
-
very small and just something like in the, but it is a
-
physical reminder of a spiritual reality, a physical reminder of
-
what it represented, something powerful in the spirit.
-
Even though it looks small, like just it represents something
-
that is backed by heaven covenant.
-
So the same with the ring, it represents something and the
-
covenant relationship. And I want you to see that
-
because it's not just Jews, it's the blood of Jesus.
-
So when you lift this cup up and today when you receive the this
-
cup, you are reminding yourself, I am in covenant.
-
When you take this, I am in the blood covenant with Gee, I
-
belong to Jesus. I am not available to the enemy,
-
belong to Jesus, covenant with Jesus.
-
And so when you drink this cup, it's like Jesus coming to you
-
and he's slipping the ring on your finger.
-
And Jesus says to you, everything that I got and won at
-
victory at Carberry, that victory, I give it to you,
-
yours. Everything I've got at Calvary,
-
healing, forgiveness, victory, freedom, everything I've got at
-
Calvary. It's like when we take the Jesus
-
comes and he says, I give it to you, it's yours, it belongs to
-
you. Oh, come on, can we give God
-
some praise in this place? And so that is covenant victory.
-
That is how believers overcome. So when it's shaky in the world,
-
when the world is stormy and shaky and difficulties, you can
-
say I am in a blood covenant with God.
-
My story ends in victory. And so today I declare over each
-
and everyone of you, resurrection life in your
-
spirit, divine health in your body, and covenant victory in
-
every battle. Amen.
-
Let's all stand and give God some praise.
-
Somebody Hallelujah.
