What has Holy Communion got to do with healing you may ask? Well…..let me first ask you a question..

We all as Christians know that the Holy Communion has 2 elements, the wine and the bread. The wine representing Jesus’ blood and the bread His body. So if we ask any Christian, “What Jesus’ blood has done for us?” Most if not all of us would answer, “His blood has cleanse us from our sins, washed us white as snow!” ( or words to that effect). Now my question is, what has His body done for us?

NKJ 1 Corinthians11:30 For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.

This is the only verse I know in the new testament that gives a reason for why Christians are weak, sick and sleep ( die prematurely). So it behooves us to discover the reason why. The way this verse is written the reason lies in the previous verse, so lets look at it.

NKJ 1 Corinthians 11:29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgement to himself, not discerning the Lords body.

Isn’t it interesting that Apostle Paul mentioned the reason for sickness and premature death, was NOT discerning the Lords body. He didn’t say body and blood, all he said was body. Isaiah tells us by His stripes we are healed! His body was broken for us and He carried our pains and diseases. (Read healing 1 for more details) Jesus work on the cross, not only bought our entry into heaven, but it also bought us healing!!!!! (The cross bought us much much more, but we are concentrating on healing for now)

When we take Holy Communion, we know to be reverent and remember in our hearts, minds and lips and we thank HIM for his blood, but Holy Communion has two components, each as important as the other. We need to remember ALL that Jesus has done on the cross for us. To partake truly worthily we cant just concentrate on one aspect of Holy Communion, but on both what His blood and His body has done for us!!!

Understand that I am not suggesting that the elements have any self imbued power, but it is when you partake and proclaim and remember for yourself, ALL that Christ has done for you, which includes healing, it builds faith, it allows Christ healing power to flow in you, and it enables you to walk in your blood bought right of healing!

Finally I leave you with this verse

NKJ Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge….

Jesus has paid for our healing with His striped body. So dont let a lack of knowledge deprive you of His healing.

God Bless
