THE
LORD’S SUPPER - a teaching by Ps Paul Quadros from his new book - "Catch the Glorious Fire"
The Lord’s Supper is another means to an effective prayer life. When we remember the Lord’s death and His victory, we can easily break into the spiritual realm in prayer. As we remember that we are in oneness in His death and resurrection and how he made us victorious through his death on the cross
We remember how His blood has purchased us, washed us, protected us and opened every door for our blessing.
It also helps us to overcome our hurts and pains, discouragements in the midst of problem we face, when we partake of the bread and the cup. We participate in the body and the blood of Christ. ( 1 Cor 10: 16). This helps us to maintain our relationship with God in our prayer life.
As we fallow the instruction in 1 Cor 4: by partaking in worthy manner examining our heart and discerning the body we receive the spiritual authority to resist the enemy. It gives us the strength to overcome. We should check our hearts as we do express oneness in the love we have for one another.
Many are unaware of the power and blessing of the Lord’s Supper. Tradition has blinded us of this power. The early church participated in the Lord’s Supper as much as they were involved in prayer, fellowship and the apostles’ teaching. (Acts 2:42)
Our victory is based on the Lord’s victory on the cross. Only by acknowledging His victory we can be victorious. Hence, many times the Lord’s Supper helps us to remember that. In my life I have used this key often. If I am unable to get a breakthrough in prayer despite my persistence, I break bread alone or with my family or with leaders. The Lord does not want us to be holy only for one day (the day we break bread), but everyday and every time. Remember that he has made us holy through His sacrifice on the cross (Heb 10: 10-14). That makes us worthy and helps us to live holy by the power of the Spirit.
