And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, Take, eat this is My body. Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink from it all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s Kingdom. Matthew 26:26-29 NKJV
 
The God Man institutes the Lord’s Supper.
 
God created the Heavens and the Earth. He created the sun and the moon. He created the stars that sparkle in the night sky. He created the great diversity of creatures that dwell upon the Earth. Almighty God created you and me in His image and likeness.
 
God the Father, the Eternal Son of God and the Holy Spirit existed in a perfect loving relationship since before time began. God created us to join Him in that perfect loving relationship.
 
God created us to be one in Him through faith in Jesus Christ. He created us to be like Him with the capacity to love and be loved!
 
The first man and woman disobeyed God. The loving relationship they were created to enjoy was forever severed.
 
In a demonstration of God’s perfect love He sent Jesus to bring us back into the relationship He desires with us. The Son stepped out of timeless perfection into a fallen world to bring us back into the Father’s love!
 
God never intended for the Lord’s Supper to be mundane and routine. The Lord wants us to look forward to gathering together in remembrance of Him. Jesus wants us to partake in symbolic remembrance of our union with Him.
 
The Lord wants us to remember we are seated together with Him in heavenly places today. Jesus wants us to remember He created us to live in an intimate loving relationship with Him today!
 
Jesus is waiting to take communion again until we are joined with Him in the perfect, holy and timeless loving relationship He created us for. Give thanks to God the Father for His great love through faith in Jesus Christ today!

    ​Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!
     
    Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV
     
    The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ! 
     
    This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.
     
    The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.
     
    The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him! 
     
    Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved. 
     
    God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!
                       
    Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.
     
    We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus! 
     
    Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.
     
    God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!
     
    Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!
