Visited this beautiful church. Men fattening themselves at the alter. Leaving the congregation with half a meal. ( I say men because they are chosen men of God)
The sacraments are NOT being upheld. The hearts of men are taking over. Overriding the orders of Jesus.
Which are :-
Matthew 26:26-29 NLT - Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take this and eat it, for this is my body.”
27 And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them and said, “Each of you drink from it, 28 for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice to forgive the sins of many. 29 Mark my words—I will not drink wine again until the day I drink it new with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”
Note:- If this blessing was just meant for the apostle's. Then there would no need for mass. We would just have a gathering to celebrate God. This was a instructions meant to be fulfilled - For ALL who believe that Jesus died and rose again on the third day for the forgiveness of sins.
The excuse COVID. Yet not wearing masks. And everyone is moving freely.
Living in fear. ?
But I say to you ....
2 Timothy 1:7 NLT
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
Do you believe in God or not ?
Do you trust ?
NEWS :- As we are NOT in immediate threat and IN A current EPIDEMIC....
Are there not solutions you can think of .?... How about this - EVERYONE Bring a clean teaspoon from their home. Dip it in our Lords blood, Hold out your palm out to catch any drips and lick it before God's chosen man of God moves on . ( No scooping, no going back for seconds therefore no contamination)
UPDATE I've since learned that putting the body ( bread of Christ) in the blood ( wine) is acceptable. And that laymen can be called and bless to facilitate this precious instruction. Also there was a call UNDER EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES where the wine cannot be given. Then the body is acceptable. I agree. But what EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES are we in ? Is it laziness? How rude to take half of what the LORD OUR GOD says to do with such disrespect. Keep praying. Good lives in the hearts that serve. ❤️
Or is it just all round cheapest thing to decide not to do and allocate money somewhere else. Perhaps more in house parties out of hours ?
Do you not think my soul can tell I've not received the other half of the meal? The Holy Spirit waiting for confirmation of a full meal.
Are we to just ignore Jesus's instructions because we don't believe He's able to protect us ?
What will you tell Jesus when you see him ?
Thoughts I ponder.
Let us pray for them and our half meal.
You'll have to excuse me, The blood I was to receive for the forgiveness of my sins has been withdrawn. It's okay I'll offer it to God to do it himself. He's perfectly capable.
