 LIFE APPLICATION:
1. The WORD of GOD says, as CHRIST lives by his father.. so whoever eats the son shall live. (V57)

1. What does it mean eating the flesh of CHRIST?
Christ is God himself.

So eating the flesh of Christ means eating God himself.

What we eat becomes a part of our body. We are becoming a part of the body of CHRIST.

For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Ephesians:5:30

So if God is eternal we become eternal too. (V58)

2. How can we eat the flesh of Christ?

A. Eating the word of God is eating Christ himself.  I would like you to look into the previous meditation on the bread of life.

B. Participating in the Holy communion (v55,56)

For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
1 Corinthians:11:23

And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
1 Corinthians:11:24

After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
1 Corinthians:11:25

For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
1 Corinthians:11:26

We are eating the flesh of Christ when we participate In the Holy communion and drinking his blood.

If we examine ourselves and take part in it we shall have eternal life.

 But we take part in it unworthily it can let us be sick and weak.

Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
1 Corinthians:11:27

Also, we are partakers of one flesh and one blood.

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
1 Corinthians:10:16

For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
1 Corinthians:10:17

3. How can this affect our lives?

A. We are healed by the stripes of Jesus.  

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
1 Peter:2:24

He bore our sins on the tree. So we are free. By his stripes we are healed.

Again, believe and confess as you participate in this divine covenant. You will be set free from all diseases and ailments physically and every hurts emotionally.

B. We are free from the fear of death:

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Hebrews:2:14

And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Hebrews:2:15

Because we are partakers of the flesh and blood of CHRIST, we have eternal life in him.

C. We are passing from death to life.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
John:5:24

Dear Child of God,

 we have eternal life in Christ JESUS, we will not die... But live a life in abundance. 

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

John:10:10

Eat of these words dear child of God and the grips of the  thief that comes to steal, kill and destroy will be broken and you will have life and life and life.....

This year is the year your bondages are going to be broken. Whom the son sets free, they are free indeed.

Join with me as

I pray that

Every grip and every stronghold, the enemy has in your physical body is broken today... as the body of CHRIST was broken physically for you and by his stripes you are healed.

Today, I pray that there will be healing in your emotions. Let there be a mighty move of the spirit of God over your souls that every emotional hurts be healed in Jesus mighty name. 

Let there not be even the remnants of painful memories of the past left.

Today is the day...as we pray every financial and materialistic blessings that has been stolen by the enemy be released in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth as CHRIST came to give you life and life in abundance.

Happy and prosperous 2019. May you prosper in every area of your life as your soul prospers.  May the good Lord be with you, leading and guiding you through this year... may God bless you. Amen.

Bread from heaven

MEDITATION John chapter 6:30-40

1. The people asked Jesus for a sign that they may see and believe in him. (V30)
2. They said their fathers ate  manna in the desert as it is written, he gave them bread from heaven to eat. (V31)
3. JESUS told them that Moses did not give them the bread from heaven but that his father will give them the true bread from heaven. (V32)
4. JESUS said to them that his father gives them the true bread that comes from heaven. ( v33)
5. JESUS said that the bread of God is that comes down from heaven and gives life. ( V33)
6. Then they asked him to give that bread to them. (V34)
7. JESUS said he is that bread of life and whosoever come to him shall not hunger and those that believe in him shall not thirst. (V35)
8. But Jesus said that they saw him but still did not believe. (V36)
9. JESUS said whosoever  father God gives him shall come to him and he will never cast them out. (V37)
10. JESUS came down not to do his own will but to do the will of the father. ( v38)
11. JESUS said the will of the father on him is that he should not lose anyone, but should raise them in the last day. (V39)
12. This is the will of God that everyone sees Christ  and believe in him shall have everlasting life and Christ will raise him on the last day. (V40)

Life application:
The bread of heaven:
Jesus said the father gives them the true bread from heaven. (V32,33)
Here in our meditation let us see some facts about this bread from heaven.

1. The bread of God comes from heaven and it gives life to the world.
For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
John:6:33

2. JESUS said he is the bread of life.
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
John:6:35

I am that bread of life.
John:6:48

3. Any man which eat
This bread shall not die.
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
John:6:50

4. This bread is the flesh of Christ.
I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
John:6:51

5. The WORD became flesh:

Now I would like to spark in you a revelation; compare these two verses

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John:1:14

: and the bread that I will give is my flesh,

It is the spoken word of God that became Christ in flesh.
So, eating this word of God, is eating Christ himself.

Hallelujah! Let us thank God for this heavenly manna that CHRIST is giving us each day that we shall not die but live life everlasting.

This is why, Christ told,

But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Matthew:4:4

We live not only because of the physical bread, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

This is what CHRIST says,

Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
John:5:39

LIFE APPLICATION 2:
Jesus came down not to do his own will, but to do the will of the father.

A similar verse with a Strong correlation is,
Jesus saith unto them,

 My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
John:4:34

Jesus compares finishing the will of the father to a heavenly meat.

Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Matthew:18:14

It is not the will of the father that one of us, should perish. This is why, Christ came in flesh.

And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
John:6:39

So dear children of God, Are you not secure about your walk with God?  It is not the will of God for us to perish; neither the will of God for Christ to lose us.
We have a faithful God who will keep us blameless till the end.

And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians:5:23

So we have PEACE with God! God bless you all!
