What if the simple act of taking communion could revolutionize your spiritual life, break every chain of bondage, and release heaven's power into your circumstances? What if this sacred meal, often reduced to a brief ritual, actually holds the keys to healing, deliverance, and breakthrough?
The story of one man's miraculous healing illuminates this profound truth. Diagnosed with cancer as a child and healed by God, he faced the disease again in his later years. With only weeks to live, he heard the clear voice of the Lord: "Do communion." For seven days, he faithfully partook of the bread and cup. When he returned to his doctor for blood work, the physician was astonished—every trace of cancer had vanished from his body. From that moment forward, God used him mightily in healing ministry.
This testimony isn't just about one man's miracle. It reveals a spiritual principle many believers have never fully grasped: communion is one of the most powerful weapons in our spiritual arsenal.
The Covenant Meal of Remembrance
Communion traces back to the Passover in Egypt, when the death angel passed over homes marked by the blood of the lamb. When Jesus instituted the Last Supper, He was establishing a new covenant—one sealed not with the blood of animals, but with His own precious blood.
Consider the profound humility displayed at that table. Jesus shared this covenant meal with men who would betray and deny Him. Judas would betray Him with a kiss, yet Jesus called him "friend." Peter would deny knowing Him three times, yet Jesus broke bread with him. This is the epitome of humility—trusting the Father's plan even in the face of rejection and abandonment.
The Apostle Paul, who never met Jesus personally, received this revelation directly from the Lord: "For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, 'Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.' In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.' For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes" (1 Corinthians 11:23-26).
Proclaiming the Lord's Death
The word "proclaim" means to announce officially and publicly, to declare emphatically and authoritatively, to make known openly. When we take communion, we're not merely remembering a historical event—we're making a powerful proclamation to heaven, earth, and hell.
We're announcing that Jesus' death conquered sin, transgression, and iniquity. We're declaring that sickness and disease have no legal right to our bodies. We're proclaiming that Satan's authority has been broken, shattered, neutralized, and paralyzed.
In His death, Jesus broke Satan's legal right to our lives—to our health, wealth, relationships, education, future, present, and past. Every witch, wizard, warlock, hex, spell, charm, curse, and demonic assignment has been defeated. The principalities and powers of darkness must bow to the finished work of the cross.
As Isaiah prophesied: "He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5).
What we should have received—death, sickness, poverty, judgment—Jesus received for us. His death accomplished everything we could ever need.
Seven Powerful Confessions
When taking communion, consider these profound declarations that align our hearts with the finished work of Christ:
1. Jesus as Our Mercy Seat: He is our propitiation, atonement, Passover, and reconciliation to the Father. Through His death, we have access to God's throne of grace.
2. Jesus as Our Wisdom, Righteousness, Holiness, and Redemption: First Corinthians 1:30 declares that Christ has become these things for us. We don't work to attain them; we receive them as gifts.
3. Jesus as Our Baptizer: He baptizes us with the Holy Spirit, fire, and power, enduing us with power from on high—not a coerced experience, but a genuine surrender to His fullness.
4. Jesus as Our Savior, Healer, Deliverer, and Restorer: Everything Adam lost has been restored through Christ's death. Our identity as image-bearers of God has been reclaimed.
5. Jesus as Our Obedience, Vine, Humility, and Meekness: Jesus Himself said, "Without Me you can do nothing" (John 15:5). We cannot even humble ourselves apart from His work in us. God is at work in us "both to will and to do for His good pleasure" (Philippians 2:13).
6. Jesus as Our Love, Hope, and Faith: We live by the faith of God, not our own faith. We hope in God, not in ourselves. His love flows through us as we surrender.
7. Jesus as Our Strength, Might, Courage, and Boldness: We are strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. It takes courage to truly surrender, to relinquish our rights to ourselves, and to trust Him completely.
Living in the Reality of His Death
Confession means "to say the same thing"—to agree with what God has already said about us, our circumstances, and our identity. We're not trying to convince God of anything; we're aligning ourselves with His eternal truth.
When we take communion with this understanding, we're not focusing on our problems, our bodies, our finances, or our relationships. We're focusing on His death and what it accomplished. We're keeping our consciousness on the Lord, not on our circumstances.
The death of Christ has dealt with every challenge you face. The witchcraft that's been working against you cannot succeed because His death has shattered its power. The sickness trying to manifest in your body has no authority because by His stripes you are healed. The poverty and lack attempting to dominate your life have been conquered because He became poor so you might become rich.
A Call to Deeper Communion
What if you approached communion not as a quick ritual, but as a covenant meal—a sacred exchange between you and your Lord? What if you took time to meditate on what His death accomplished, to proclaim it boldly, and to receive all that He purchased for you?
This isn't about religious duty. It's about relationship. It's about Jesus becoming a reality in your life, not just a doctrine you believe. It's about experiencing Christ in you, your hope of glory.
Without Him, we are nothing and can do nothing. But with Him, all things are possible. He is God's everything to us, God's everything in us, and God's everything for us.
As you embrace the death of the Lord Jesus Christ and proclaim it over your life, watch as chains break, strongholds crumble, and heaven's power is released. The same God who healed that man of cancer is ready to move mightily in your life—if you'll simply yield, surrender, and receive all that His death has provided.
