Communion, Part 1

Last Friday night I had communion with my friends on Zoom back in Vancouver, Washington. It was the first time I had done this since leaving America to serve the Body of Christ around the world. The last time I had communion was over a year ago the day I left America with a few other brothers in Christ, Sheldon, Jason and Ed. I had asked Sheldon if we could do this the day before leaving, and he said he would pray about it, and that was fine by me. The reason I asked was it would probably be my last time to have communion with them, or anyone else for a long time. The next morning when Ed arrived to get my van that I was giving him, since Jason would be driving me to the airport. While Ed was there at Sheldon's house, all four of us had communion together. It was a very special time to me, because communion should be something very special to all Christians. Since coming to South America, I have gone to a number of churches here, two Catholics and two Mormon ones. The first one was a Catholic one that I attended every week for six month, and they serve communion every Sunday. But I never participated even though it was offered to me. The reason for that is that communion is to be shared by those who have the same faith that I have, because it is a Holy covenant to be shared with those who have the same belief that was established by Jesus Christ. Millions of Christian around the world have communion in their churchs according to their teachings, some once a week and others on the third Sunday of the month, some have it with wine and others with grape juice and the Mormans use water, and there were many different forms of bread or crackers. However, most if not all of them don't follow the example Jesus and His apostles set and that is very important, because we are warned of certain dangers by the Apostle Paul, when we do not follow their example set by God. Though it seems that many ministers don't agree with them and have sadly established their own traditions that have become more or less a habit than having a real heart to follow Jesus Christ, or lead by His Holy Spirit, who set the example to love Father God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. Who in the end was willing to lay down His life for all mankind on a Roman cross to save us from our sins and open the door to the Father's heart, love and embrace for all eternity. When Christian share communion in their church, they are bringing themselves into a covenant with everyone else regardless of what they believe or do, including all their sins, even sexual ones, in that church denomination or organization. Which in truth, are all man-made and were never established by God, even though they believe they are. Why? Because they don't take the time to read that historical background, or have the heart to search out the truth for themselves in a prayer before God on their knees. It is just easier for them to follow other people's examples, because they believe they must be right in their faith and actions and all the degrees from biblical education and instations. Besides, not that many people (millions and billions) can't be wrong, can they? But then so were many democrats in this last election. But the times are changing and we are entering a new age, the golden age, and the Age of the Father.
