Then He brought them out laden with silver and gold, and there was not a feeble one among His tribes . . . And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with a joyful shout. Psalm 105:37,43.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
I want to make your life beautiful, the most beautiful life ever lived and I do this by blessing you with benefits.
Bless the (אֶת־) LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy (אֶת־) name. Bless the (אֶת־) LORD, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; who pardons all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases; who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; who satisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle. Psalm 103:1-5.
Today I want to talk to you about receiving these benefits through the meal that seals your Covenant with Jesus and seals you in Him into Covenant with Me. The Israelites were redeemed, protected, healed, and made rich by the body and blood of the Passover Lamb the night I delivered them from Egypt.
Moreover, they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses in which they eat it. They shall eat the flesh that same night, roasted with fire, and they shall eat it with unleavened bread. Exodus 12:7-8.
Then He brought them out laden with silver and gold, and there was not a feeble one among His tribes. Psalm 105:37.
And this was only a type and shadow of the substance of the good things to come when I Myself gave you the Lamb.
Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” And he said, “Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” Abraham said, “God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” Genesis 22:7-8.
The next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” John 3:16.
For Christ your Passover has been sacrificed and the eternal memorial has been sealed.
For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite you. And you shall observe this event as an ordinance for you and your children forever. When you enter the land which the LORD will give you, as He has promised, you shall observe this ritual service. Exodus 12:23-24.
Now this day will be a memorial to you, and you shall celebrate it as a feast to the LORD; throughout your generations you are to celebrate it as a permanent ordinance. Exodus 12:14.
Why was this to be a forever meal for them to celebrate? To remember and remind the future generations that I was, I am, and I always will be their God, the living LORD who heard when they cried to Me in their affliction and came down and redeemed them, rescued them, protected them, delivered them, prospered them, and healed them as I brought them out of the place of their captivity to lead them to the land flowing with abundance that I had promised to give them when I made covenant with Abraham, My faithful friend. And to know that I am the same yesterday, today and forever, Yahavah.
My Son has made this your forever celebration of remembrance. For it is impossible for the blood of lambs, bulls and goats to take away sins, but by the eternal blood of My Son you have been sanctified through the offering of the body and blood of Jesus Christ once for all. For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified. Hebrews 10:1-17.
This Covenant meal enacted the night that Jesus was betrayed and took upon Himself in that hour in the Garden of Gethsemane all your sins, ills, grief, pains, shame, guilt, and blame since the beginning to the end of time became the perpetual memorial of forgiveness of sins, redemption, protection, healing, and provision. It is the celebration of freedom, for whom the Son sets free is free indeed. Freedom from what? The slavery of sin for the wages sin is death, eternal death, but in Jesus I have set you free from the law of sin and death by law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus and given you eternal life. I accounted all your sins to Him and His righteousness to you. This is the feast of the divine exchange.
For the joy that lay before Him, He endured the punishment and paid the judgment that was upon you, despising the shame. What was that joy that impelled Him forward to the Cross? The joy of saving you and reconciling you to Me that you could have My promise of the Holy Spirit and the eternal Kingdom that I prepared for you since the foundation of the world.
And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with a joyful shout. Psalm 105:43
Isn’t it time you shouted the victory? He won it for you.
O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:55-57.
Take up the cup of Salvation and call on His Name!
What shall I render to the LORD for all His benefits toward me? I shall lift up the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the LORD. Psalm 116:12-13.
In this Covenant meal of the Passover Lamb you are given the opportunity to thank Me for all I have done for you in Christ by partaking of the divine nature in His body and blood and remembering the wonders I have done to save you from being lost to Me. I sent Him to seek out and save the lost and to give His life as a ransom for all.
How should your prepare your heart for partaking of this precious Eucharistic banquet?
Here are the three steps for preparing for Holy Communion:
- Open you heart to receive His love.
And when you receive Him you receive the One who sent Him. And that is eternal life, to know Me the one true God and the One I sent Jesus Christ.
Jesus knocks at the door of your heart, and if you hear His voice and open your heart to receive Him, He will come in and He will dine with you and you with Him. And He will receive you on His throne with Him and He is seated with Me on My throne. Revelation 3:20-21.That is very close fellowship and we are united by love. I pour My love into your heart by the gift of the Holy Spirit. And it is the Holy Spirit, in His appearance as the priest Melchizedek, that brought out the bread and the wine to Abraham. And He still is hovering over the bread and the wine as the Words of Jesus are spoken, the very same Words that Jesus spoke over the bread and wine at that first Eucharistic meal as Jesus gave thanks to Me for the wondrous mission He was about to seal with Me in His precious blood shed for you the next day. And the Holy Spirit was hovering there in Jesus to change the elements of bread and wine into the heavenly substance of the Body and Blood of My Son that is not of this world but is hidden there beneath the physical as are all spiritual things. And I, by inspiration of the Spirit, have handed down and delivered the Words of consecration so carefully to you, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26, so that you too may speak them and the Holy Spirit will change them into Jesus, to whom He testifies. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Revelation 3:22.
- Open your mind to receive revelation and impartation.
The two disciples on the road to Emmaus who encountered Jesus on the day I raised Him from the dead were restrained from recognizing Him until He opened their minds to the understanding of My Words testifying to Him in all the books of the Bible that had been written up to that time, which is the Old Testament, that is, Moses (the Torah), the prophets, and the writings, this made their hearts burn with excitement, joy, and love, by the revelation of the truths of who Christ is, but they did not recognize Him until He broke the bread of His body and they participated in the first Communion meal after He was raised by Me from the dead. Be still and listen to what divine communication of revelation and impartation you are receiving as you open your mind to hear. And this will come as you remember what I have done to redeem you in Jesus. New revelation of who you are in Christ and all the benefits that are yours will be opened as He dines with you and you with Him in this communion meal of union, anointing and divine unction.
- Be ready.
Do you know to what I am referring? Do you recall how they were to eat that first Passover meal after which I immediately had them go forward to be freed from slavery after they had received the riches of Egypt?
Now you shall eat it in this manner: with your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste—it is the Lord’s Passover. Exodus 12:11.
Be ready for direction, deliverance, healing, and prosperity. Remember how they left Egypt after that meal after living the hard life of physical labor and poverty of slaves:
Then He brought them out laden with silver and gold, and there was not a feeble one among His tribes. Psalm 105:37.
Why, when their deliverance was only the shadow and type, a credit card so to speak, of the real payment that would be made by My firstborn to redeem you and be the firstborn of many brethren that I made joint heirs with Him of the double portion of infinite wealth to whom it has pleased Me to give, not to just the riches of Egypt, but of My Kingdom, would I not do MUCH MORE for you. For you not only receive His body, when you take Him as Lord you become a member of His body. Be ready for miracles, signs, and wonders as you do the works He did and greater. He has done all the hard work, offering His eternal life in the flesh for you and you have come into His gain. Be ready, everything is freely yours in Him.
Dead to Me in your sins and trespasses, you did not deserve anything but born again as a new creation in Christ you have been redeemed from the curse of the law of sin and death and I have given you everything. He earned it, you enjoy it. You honor Me by enjoying it. Think about that.
I love you. Never forget even one of all your benefits! With joy you will draw them out of Yeshuah for in Him you will find the fountain of eternal life. Great among you is the Holy One of Israel—the God of redemption, deliverance, healing, restoration, prosperity, rejuvenation, and, above all, Salvation (Yeshuah). I am the LORD of Glory.
The LORD has taken away your judgments, He has cast out your enemy. The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst; you shall see disaster no more. In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: “Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak. The LORD your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:15-17.
