Arise, Shine for thy Light has come.

The above  Scripture is verse 1 that heads Chapter 60 of Isaiah, and continues: And the Glory of the Lord is risen upon thee!

God Almighty is Well Pleased with His Word, for His Word by Isaiah speaks of the Almighty's future consolations to Israel as it rises out of the obscurity of darkness, saying: And the Glory of the Lord is risen upon You.  For behold the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness upon the people: But the Lord shall arise upon You, and His Glory shall be seen upon You. The Gentiles shall come to Your Light, and kings to the brightness of Your Glory.

All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto Thee.  The rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto Thee: They all shall come up with My acceptance on Mine Altar, and I will Glorify the House of My Glory.

The Altar of God is at the entrance of His House of Glory, and the Brightness of His Glory is set in the Blood of Jesus Christ.  But the Ecclesia of today, sits in the darkness of their own making, not discerning the Glory in the Word of God.  No one can come to Father God Almighty, except through God's Holy Altar that bares the Sacrifice of the LIFE Giving Blood of God's High Priest and our Salvation, the Man, Yeshua/Jesus the Messiah.

This is My Blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sin.
^{(See Matthew 26 verse 26 thru 28.)}

The following scripture was written in the Letter to the Hebrews:

Therefore brethren, having confidence to enter into the Holiest by the Blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which He hath consecrated (dedicated or inaugurated) for us, through the veil, that is to say, His Flesh: and having a High Priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled (with His Blood) from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water (that both flowed from the side of the crucified Word of God.). ^{(See all of Hebrews 10 verse 19 thru 25.)}

The Letter was exhorting the Jewish converts too fully look to God's New Blood Covenant inaugurate by Jesus Christ, Yeshua haMashiach, and is given for the remission of their present sins of the flesh.  The writer of Hebrews was admonishing the Jewish converts too totally abandon the old animal sacrifices established within the Mosaic Covenant. ^{(See Hebrews.)} The admonition is absolute TRUTH and also for all of the Ecclesia that is presently called the church.

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God Almighty, is One with the Eternal Word of His Son, Jesus/Yeshua, for the the Person of  the TRUTH established God's New Covenant in His shed Blood, for God's Spirit of Grace provides in Holy Communion the necessary LIFE giving Provisions for God's people of New Born Faith.  The corruption of the flesh and blood of mankind cannot inherit an entrance into the Kingdom of God, let alone an entrance into the Holy of Holies and into the Almighty's Presence. ^{(See 1st Corinthians 15 verse 50.)} That one Holy Entrance into the Holy of Holies is only gained by a confident Faith in Christ Jesus, our High Priest, for Jesus says: I AM the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE: no man comes unto the Father, except by Me.  Christ Jesus, being both the Son of Man and the Son of the Eternal God, is the only Mediator between human kind and  Holy Yahweh God Almighty. These scripture verses declare that the entrance into the Holiest is through the veil that is to say, His Flesh.  Then Jesus said unto them: Truly,Truly, I say unto you, Unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His Blood you have no LIFE in you. ^{(John 6 verse 53.)} This is the Bread that came down from Heaven: He that eats of this Bread shall live forever. ^{(See John 6 verse 58.)}

Now the entrance into the Holiest is made through the Communal Body of Christ for each member has already been set apart in their Baptism into their death in the Body of Jesus Chrisrt, and is now cleansed of their confessed faults of their flesh through the Holy Spirit's application of the Sanctifying Blood of our Savior.  Because of God's New Covenant, the baptized believer, in the true faith of Christ, has the confidence to enter into God's thrown room of Grace so that we may approach (draw near) to Yahweh God in faith with a clean conscience, having the actions of our flesh washed clean in the Water of God's Spirit that is One with Christ Jesus.  Now then, let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for He is Faithful Who Promised.  Almighty Yahweh God will not only answer the hope of our Salvation in Christ Jesus, but will also answer our prayers and petitions that Glorify the Almighty and Christ's Name of Salvation.

In the old covenant, the sacrificial blood of a designated clean animal was sprinkled on the side of the altar, and was always indicative of a sin offering or a peace offering unto Holy God.  The sprinkled blood was also utilized to cleanse all of the vessels that were to be used in the service of the Lord, and applied to all the covenant people and the earthly Tabernacle.  ^{(See Hebrews 9 verse 18 thru 22.)} Even so, the called of God, are to have the fleshly tabernacle for our soul and spirit washed with the Blood of Jesus Christ, cleansing our consciences from evil thoughts and the defiling works of the flesh.   This is My Blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sin. ^{(Matthew 26 verse 28.)}

The 'many'; are those that have been Baptized into Christ, and thereby have already entered into the New Blood Covenant with the Lord.  This beginning of New Life for a person, began with their initial repentance and confession of faith, that is made public with their baptismal washing into the Water of God's Spirit, and now the old past sins are washed away, and behold all things are made new.  With the Grace of God in Christ Jesus, we have a new beginning faith into LIFE within the Living Body of Christ our Savior.  Please draw from the following analogy. For the natural body to live, it needs the continuing life flow of blood to nurture our being and the serum fluid of the blood to cleanse us of the waste of the flesh. So it is with LIFE Giving Blood and Serum Water that flow through the Spirit of God in the living Body of Christ.  The Spirit and the Water and the Blood are One.

Let's review the above passages in Hebrews chapter 10 verse 19 thru 22, and make a list of several, reasonable and spiritual observations.

1.  The Lord Jesus, by His Word at the Passover Seder of Unleavened Bread, inaugurated a new and living remembrance of the New Covenant in His Flesh and Blood.   Jesus, the Son of Man, took [unleavened] bread and blessed it, and broke it, giving it to His Disciples, and said: Take and eat, for this is My Body given for you. (Unless you eat of the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink His Blood you have no life  within you). And He took the Cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them saying: "All of you drink of it: For this is My Blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins". ^{(See Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.)}  It is at this time at the Passover Feast of Unleavened Bread, and at this time only that the WORD of GOD establishes Holy God's Promised Eternal Covenant with mankind.  The old inferior covenant was in the blood of animals, but now, the Everlasting Covenant is in the shed Blood of the Soul and Spirit of the Man of Perfect Love and Righteousness, Who was physical born in the flesh of Man, and yet in the Likeness of His Father God.  Jesus Christ is the Lord our Righteousness.

2.  Certainly, we,  as individuals that are abiding in True Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, are all thankful that God has granted to us so great a Salvation within His Son.  But each individual is saved as a living member into the Greater Body of Jesus Christ, being members one of another.  With the initial Serum Water Baptism into Jesus death and resurrection, it is no longer I, the individual who lives, but Jesus Christ through God's Holy Spirit Who lives within my redeemed soul, as well as that of my brothers and sisters who are Alive IN the Lord. ^{(See Galatians 2 verse 20.)} While I yet exist in this corruptible flesh, the old idolatrous (me, myself and I) is being put to death through the Sanctifying Covenant LIFE Blood of Jesus Christ, which was poured out upon this earth for all the sins of earthly sinners.  Now through God's Holy Spirit the Blood of Jesus Christ is a wellspring of LIFE provided within the Cup of Salvation which we drink, and is to be the continuing renewal of the LIFE of Christ for God's New Covenant people.  ^{(See 1st Corinthians 10 verse 16 thru 17.)}

3.  This Scripture in Hebrews also speaks of the plurality of the church body such as, 'brethren', 'us', 'our hearts', 'our bodies washed', as in a collective unity called the 'House of God', or the 'Body of Jesus Christ'. For through Him (Jesus/Yeshua), we both (Jew and Gentile alike) have access by One Spirit unto the Father.  Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigner, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God. Because of the unity of the One Body of Christ, the eye of the body cannot say to the ear of the body, you are not part of me because you cannot see.

4.  The Lord God has called us to worship Him in Spirit and in TRUTH, which in the essence of Godly Faith is with a true undivided heart of Agapao/Love like unto God's Son, Jesus our Lord.  That which is unseen within our Gift of Faith, holds the substance of TRUTH to be self-evident in our hearts, for Jesus Christ being the Word of God is the Personification of TRUTH, and One with His Father's Own Perfect Sacrificial Love.  The Word of TRUTH establishes that Holy Communion through the unseen dimensions of Christ's Flesh and Blood is One with God's Holy Spirit of TRUTH, and the Faith of Christ is our beginning entrance into true corporate worship of the Eternal God and Father of all the redeemed.

5. The baptized into the Faith of Christ, being parts of the One Body of Christ Jesus, are to be partakers of the Communion unleavened Bread of LIFE where there is no division, but only the wholeness of unity within the One Spirit of the Lord.  But before we can come with holiness through the one Body of Jesus Christ into the Presence of our Holy, Holy, Holy Father God, then it is necessary that each individual member, examined themselves with a heart of humility that will speak of repentance from our thoughts and acts of self centeredness.  Then we are to show our total dependence upon Christ as we all drink together in renewing Faith in the cleansing Essence that is in the New Covenant Communion Blood of our Savior and Lord.  God's Holy Spirit, being One with the Water and the LIFE Blood of our Savior, applies to our repentant hearts the cleansing power of the grace of God's Sacrificial Love.  The Holy LIFE of the Son of God, which is in the Spirit of His Blood that we drink, is the Soul and the Spirit of Jesus Christ, the very LIFE force of the corporate Body of Jesus.  As it is written:  Except you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink His Blood you have no LIFE in you.  He that eats My Flesh, and drinks My Blood, dwells in Me and I in him.  As the Living Father has sent Me, (The True Bread) and I Live by the Father, so he that eats of Me, even he shall Live by Me. This is the Bread that came down from heaven. ^{(See John 6 verse 53 thru 58.)} No flesh shall glory in God's Holy Presence, for the flesh of man is full of its own self idolatry.  The sinful flesh of the natural man is put away from Holy God with the sprinkling of the Communion Blood of Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit of God.  There is only those souls, born of the One Spirit of the Son of God and seek to worship God in Spirit and TRUTH that would be found in the Presence of Holy God, the Almighty.

6.  It is the Blood that makes atonement for the soul.  The author of Hebrews in the beginning of the 10^th chapter states, that the Law (in the Torah) having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things could never make the comer perfect.  In the original covenant with Israel, God was desiring to see genuine repentance of the people for their sins, then their consciences would be relieved through their association with the sacrifice of the lifeblood of animals.  Even though the animals were unwilling participants and of a lower order than that of the offenders, the specified performance of the bloody sacrifice was established by God as a temporary atonement for violations of the legal covenant, there by maintaining Israel's relationship with the Eternal God.  See then, it is evident that the blood of animals could never obliterate the sin of mankind.  But now God looks at the heart of His people through the Fellowship Blood of the Highest Order, that being His beloved Eternal Son, Who died for the sin of Adam and mankind.  Jesus Christ came willingly in the Love of His Father to be a perfect sacrifice for the sin's of all of humanity in the flesh of Man that was prepared for Him.  ^{(See Hebrews 10 verse 4 thru 9.)}  Jesus, as the Son of God, was of the Highest Ascendant Order, for there is no other God,  and only His supreme sacrifice as the incarnate Son of Man/Adam would satisfy the offenses of mankind against their Infinite Creator.  It took the Sacrifice of one of infinitely esteemed value to satisfy humanity's affront to the Infinite Holiness of God Almighty, for Christ died once, to satisfy God's conditions for all of mankind.   For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, (once, for all of mankind) so that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting LIFE. This is the sinless Christ Jesus, made a High Priest after the order of Malchizedek having an endless LIFE.  The Christ of God was not after the finite order of the Levitical priesthood, consisting of the generational sons of Aaron, who could never, through their endless daily animal sacrifices, God ordered by the original covenant law, bring an end to their ingrained self idolatrous and sinful nature begetting death. ^{(See Exodus 28 verse 1 and 29 verse 44.)} Christ Jesus (Messiah Yeshuah), alone, is humanity's Savior and High Priest without sin.  It is He alone, Who is risen on High that intercedes for His people of faith beyond the veil of the heavenly Holiest Place, even the Veil of His Sanctified Flesh; and through the Spirit of His Holy LIFE Blood, He brings His people within the glorified Body of Himself into the Holy of Holies and into the Presence of His Holy Father Yahweh God.  Wherefore the scriptures say: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many: and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto Salvation. ^{(Hebrews 9 verse 28.)} Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. ^{(Hebrews 10 verse 18.)}

7.  In Holy Communion, the anamnesis (remembrance) of the Infinite New Covenant set in the LIFE Blood of God's Son is again sprinkled on the hearts of New Covenant believers through God's Holy Spirit, Who is One with the Holy Blood and the Water of the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ. That perfection is a Gift that only comes by the Sacrificial Love of God's Perfect Son, Jesus Christ, Who was born the incarnate Son of Man to take away the sins of the world.  For the believer, Holy Communion is a continuing renewal of that person's repentance and faith, so that they may have in remembrance a comfortable sense of God's faithfulness in pardoning our sins even of yesterday and today.  Because of our faith in the Communion Body and redeeming Blood of our High Priest Jesus Christ, we can have full assurance of our entrance through the Veil of His Flesh into the Holy of Holies. This is the Place of Yahweh God's heavenly Sanctuary, where all the priestly children of God IN Christ, come to worship Holy Father God Almighty in the Agape of the Son, and to present our prayers of intersession that will glorify the Almighty God. It is here that we can expect to receive from the Father's Holy Will and council for the Church, for it is the Father's Good Pleasure to give His chosen the Kingdom of His Heart.

Note:  The subject matter in both Hebrew's 9 and 10 concerns the sprinkling of the Blood of the Covenant and more specifically to the New Covenant in the LIFE Blood of Jesus Christ.   So that there is no mistaking this fact, I added the notation (with His Blood).  If the reader has clicked on the yellow highlighted link for "sprinkled" then you will see that in every case that it was blood that was sprinkled on everything and everyone that was to be separated unto God. ^{(See Hebrews 9 verse 19.)} The water of separation was a preparation from the combined ashes of a red heifer, cedar wood, hyssop and scarlet, and was a purification for sin and those associated with death.  At the appropriate time of purification, then running water was added to the combined ashes of the red heifer, cedar wood, hyssop and scarlet, and sprinkled on anyone who was associated with death.  We strongly urge that the above crimson colored word SCARLET be clicked on.   Observing with interest, we see Paul as he cries out: Who shall save me from this body of death.

The Blood of Jesus Christ our Savior, with the washing in the Water of the Word through the Fountain of God's Holy Spirit more than satisfies all of the laws requirements of purification for the thoughts of the human heart that abides within the soul that is separated unto the Lord. For how much more shall the Blood of Jesus Christ, who through the Eternal Spirit offered Himself with out fault to God, purge your conscience from dead works (animal sacrifices for sin) to serve the living God? ^{(See Hebrews 9 verse 11 thru 15.)}

Prior to the Lord Jesus' brutal crucifixion, passion and death, the Lord Jesus, in anticipation and in accord with His Father Yahweh God's doctrine, inaugurated or dedicated for His people of living faith, His Table of Covenant Remembrance of His passion and death that He would suffer for humanity's sin.  At the Lord's Table, through His Holy Spirit of Grace, Christ's real Blood of the Covenant covers over our recent sins and omissions attributed to the nature of fallen flesh.  It is vitally important to understand that the New Covenant, in the Blood of Jesus Christ, was consecrated in His Soul by that which was thought and spoken by the WORD of GOD, even before the first drop of blood flowed from the pierced Body of the Christ of God.  He was the Lamb of God that was slain from before the foundation of the world.  In His crucifixion and while His LIFE Blood was being poured out of His Body unto the ground, the Lord said, "It is finished" and bowed His head and gave up His Spirit.  Then the soldiers came, and one of them pierced His side and out flowed onto the earth, the balance of the Serum Water and the Blood that had pooled in the Lord's thoracic cavity.  God's Signature was thereby established in the earth, with God's New Covenant signed in the Blood of His Son.  When the Lord Jesus arose from the dead in Power through God's Holy Spirit, He returned to His Holy Father, confirming in the Power of His Resurrection that His Father's New Covenant in His Blood was eternally active in the earth.  God's Holy Spirit, being One with the Son of God and Son of Man, could now flow to faithful believers, reproving them of sin and cleansing them by the LIFE Blood of God Almighty's  Son, Yeshuah/Jesus, that was poured out upon the ground for the sins of the world. 

Therefore, in God's Covenant of Peace, we may have confidence in God's Provisions in Holy Communion, that we have this New and Living WAY through the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, whereby the Lord through His Spirit gathers His followers all together in the embrace of His loving arms, and sets at naught the infidelities of their flesh by His Sanctifying Blood.  Witness again that Jesus said unto all: "I AM the Light of the world: they that follow Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of LIFE". ^{(John 8 verse 12.)} The Word of our Lord God is not darkness to those who walk within Him in faith, but is full of His Eternal Light, where there is no shadow of turning for those who remain in Christ Jesus.  If we are blinded by the Light of His Word, then we are standing away from Him, and not in Him, but are needing to call to Him so that He would take our hand and guide us in His WAY.  With His faith, wherever He leads, we will follow.  Father the hour is come: Glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee:  As Thou has given Him power over all flesh, that He should give Eternal LIFE to as many as Thou has given Him. ^{(See John 17 verse 1 thru 8.)}

Now is the time for the Bride to ready herself, and to have a foretaste of that Eternal LIFE of Jesus Christ through the regenerating LIFE Blood and Body of our Savior. For when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us—not by works of righteousness that we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of regeneration and renewal by God's Holy Spirit.  He poured out this Spirit on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior: ^{(Please see confirming Scripture text in HCSB.)} So then, the foretaste begins with the washing and regeneration of the Word of God's Spirit with the Serum flow of Water always carrying us to the altar of repentance, where at the Cross of Jesus Christ, we see our sins of death, crucified to the One Who holds the Keys of hell and death.  And behold Jesus says: I AM He that lives, and was dead; and I AM alive for evermore, Amen: For I have the keys of hell and of death.  Our God of the living, is holding the keys to Eternity, and gives the believers an invitation through fellowship in His Body and Blood, to pass over our earthly existence into the fullness of the One Holy Faith of God's Spirit of Grace, taking us into God's Holy Presence.  The Church Body, being in attendance to worship Holy Father God Almighty in His Spirit and TRUTH, is brought to LIFE by the active cleansing Serum Water from the Fountain of LIFE, Being the Holy Spirit of the Word of God. The Word that is faithfully preached, is to make ready the people of God to begin their entrance to God's Throne Room of Grace, through the New Living WAY, through the Bread of Life and the New Covenant Blood of Jesus.

Our God, Jehovah-Jireh, will provide in Holy Communion, through His Holy Spirit of Grace, the unfathomable dimensions of Jesus' Body and the New Covenant in His Holy LIFE Blood that cleanses all believers from their confessed unrighteousness in the flesh, and covers with God's Love the unknowns of self centered idolatry.  Now then, having been brought together, as a collective in the one Body of Christ through the Bread of LIFE, and nurtured in the bonds of love and peace in Yahweh's Holy Spirit, the covenant Bride would enter into the Holy of Holies through the Veil of the flesh of Jesus Christ, where His Holy Spirit would continue to lead His people into the Presence of Holy Father God Almighty.  For, this is LIFE eternal that they might know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom Thou hast sent. ^{(John 17 verse 3.)} Ideally, this is the spiritual time and place where true corporate worship with thanksgiving and praise of God should be initiated.  This is the place where our collective hearts are brought into a truer intimacy with the God of Creation; the One and only True God, Who is unfathomable Love, and the One Who knows the heart best.  If the ideal is not possible because of unbelief and blatant doctrinal errors in a church, then perhaps it is even better for the two or more of the redeemed within a home gathering that they should come together within the Body of Christ, accepting gratefully God's Eternal Bread Offering of His Son and His sanctifying Blood given by God's Holy Spirit.

The entrance into the extra-dimensional Kingdom of the only True God and into His Glorious Presence, is close at hand for all the faithful communicants.  But how is it, that even in the liturgical communions, just when the house of God would be arriving into the Holy of Holies, and into the Father's Holy Presence, the service is dismissed, the congregation does an about face, and out the door they go?  Who is it that waits upon the Father in worship, and waits in anticipation upon hearing of His Good Will?  So then, is Communion in these churches to be a perfunctory ritual; or a true searching to know better the Heart and Love of God?

Unfortunately, Communion in so many churches can be entrenched in a dogmatic ritual as a necessary perfunctory duty of the institution, rather than a true act of bonded Love with Thanksgiving for what the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ has given to us of His Holy Spirit.  Without the Faith of God's Spirit it is impossible to please God.  Now because of un-confessed sin born of idolatry, idolatry combined with heresy, heresy rooted in the pride of false teachers, there will be few who really enter into a fuller expectancy and understanding of the absolute Holiness of the moment, thereby anticipating a greater intimacy within the waiting heart of Holy Father God Almighty. 

God does not respond to unbelief for the hearts of the people are buried in their own flesh.  But in a time past, the Lord spoke to His Jewish people: If My people, which are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.  Now Mine eyes shall be open, and Mine ears attentive unto the prayer that is made in this place. ^{(2nd Chronicles 7 verse 14.)}  As Holy Yahweh God Almighty spoke to His Jewish people at that time, so He continues to speak to all of His New Covenant People, Jew and Gentile alike.   Thy throne is composed of righteousness and judgment; mercy and TRUTH go before Thy Face.  Happy are the people that know how to enter into joy: They shall walk, O LORD, in the Light of Thy Countenance. ^{(Psalm 89 verse 14 thru 15.)} God's Words for repentance to His people holds True in any time frame!

In 1852, the Presbyterian teacher John M. Mason in his letters on frequent Communion, volume 1, writes: "It is by no means improbable, that the restoration of scriptural Communions, may usher in a time of refreshing from the Presence of the Lord.  It has just been shown, that no mean will more effectually conduce to the revival of love; and with the grace of love every other grace flourishes.  In that sweet confidence and endearment, which are inseparable from it, believers strengthen each other's faith; and are helpers of each other's joy; nor is there, in the whole circle of social graces and duties, any which the Lord more delighteth to honor.  Beside, the nearer a church approaches in her worship to the institutions of the Lord Jesus, the more solid ground has she to implore and to expect His Countenance".

But generally, as far as the non-liturgical Protestants are concerned, the thought of the spiritual Communion possibility with God's Glory being exhibited and His Holiness being spiritually discerned among His people, has never entered into their collective minds, and currently would be impossible with the irrelevancy that is placed on Communion.   The evangelical Protestants have deemed their doctrines, with the exclusion of the holiness of Communion, as being self sufficient in finished sanctification.  But, it is written that no flesh shall glory in the presence of God. ^{(See 1st Corinthians 1 verse 29.)} Thus, those in the flesh, void of repentance, and without the sprinkling of the Blood of the Lamb of God, will stand without in the outer court, excluded from the potential glory of the moment.  Revival of the dead in sin, even those in unbelief, awaits their humility and confession. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in TRUTH: For the Father seeks such to worship Him. God is Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in TRUTH. ^{(John 4 verse 23 thru 24.)}

In the Holiest Place of God, the angels cry out Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of host: The whole earth is full of His Glory.  Isaiah sees himself as a dead man in the presence of the Lord, that is until the Lord sees to Isaiah's iniquity of his heart and spirit, and purges the iniquity by the hot coal placed on his lips. ^{(See Isaiah 6 verse 3 thru 7,).} For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. To make it clear for all of us, our sins as well as our blasé attitude prevents that which is possible with Holy, Holy, Holy God. ^{(See Acts 2 verse 1 thru 4 and verse 42 thru 43.)} Without repentance from the selfish works of the flesh, along with our expectant faith in Christ's cleansing Blood of the New Covenant, then the divisive nature and demands of our flesh will prevent the Spirit of God's Holiness, and His Glory to be manifested among all His people.  The unanswered prayers of God's people are waiting upon the people's repentance.

First you must believe or it is not faith, but vanity at work!  Unfettered Faith in the Holy WORD of Jesus Christ is the prerequisite attribute before the Glory of God will be revealed among His people. Secondly, repentance is of the highest order. Lastly, we must be clothed IN the white linens of  Jesus Christ, and wait with a greater expectation for answered prayer from the only True God, Who can do abundantly more than we can ask. God honors faith in Him, and certainly not the faithlessness of the first Adam.  Again Holy Scripture bears witness to these essentials:  And He did not many mighty works there, because of their unbelief. ^{(Matthew 13 verse 57 thru 58.)} And now in faith's expectancy to holy prayer within the Name of Yeshua, we must wait on the Lord's Grace and the refreshing Wind of His Spirit: For those who wait on the Lord, shall renew their strength; they shall mount up on wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. ^{(For fuller context see Isaiah 40 verse 31.)}

Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of Promise, the immutability of His counsel, confirmed by an Oath, that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the Veil, where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek. ^{(Hebrews 6 verse 17 thru 20 NKJV.)}

This is My Body.
 

This is My body, which is given for you: This do in Remembrance of Me.

One night, in 1984, I dreamed two dreams. The surrealism of spiritual dreams can be very subtle, and yet startling in their revelation.

The visionary dream began, as if I was caught off guard, or daydreaming, for I was in my evangelical Protestant church in the midst of worship service.  There I was seated in a pew observing my knees and my hands, which were grasping a full plastic communion cup of grape juice.  Knowing the established order of receiving the communion of 'The Bread' first, and then the 'fruit of the vine' second, I was embarrassed for myself, for having seemingly slept through such an important moment.  It seemed apparent to me that the 'Bread' had already been given, of which I could not remember having received.  I hurriedly gave thanks to the Lord for His precious gift of His Life Blood, and drank fully from the cup.  Upon finishing, I then sheepishly looked about the church congregation, to see if any one had noticed my slumbering. To my chagrin, it seemed the whole congregation, including our Pastor, was patiently waiting for me to fully finish communion, for indeed I had not received the 'Bread', but only the Blood of the New Covenant.

At that time, two of the choir men, with whom I was familiar with, came to get me so that I might finish Communion.  However, I had another dilemma.  I began to wonder if I should receive the Bread (The Body of Jesus Christ), since I was considering leaving this charismatic Protestant Church, and would no longer be a member of the congregation.  My thoughts turned to the Holiness of the Lord, and the gift of His Body, as I pondered in my heart my unworthiness.  I could not refuse HIM (Jesus), nor could I refuse any member of the congregation (The Lord's Body of believers), including the pastor who was waiting for me.  As the three of us walked down the center isle toward the railing, we began singing a glorious song of praise.  Though not familiar with the song, I caught on quickly, and began to sing out with the rest of the congregation.  As we were reaching the altar railings, the song of praise began to crescendo for the finale verse.  But then all of a sudden, I alone was bellowing out the last words of the praise in a high note, as the rest of the congregation whimpered, or peeped the remaining phrase.  Momentarily, I felt embarrassed with my bellowing, but then I began walking toward the pastor, who was standing on the main floor outside the railings, and to the left of the center aisle.

Upon reaching the pastor’s position, I took a flat, white, circular communion host from the plate, and then returned to my seat giving thanks to Jesus for His great love for me.  As I was returning to my pew, the unleavened bread enlarged three times in my hand, and momentarily displayed an inscription of, 'ROBERT'S MEMORIAL', around the top edge of the circumference, and then the inscription disappeared.  I sat down and consumed the Lord's body, and it was sweet in my mouth!  I mention the sweetness, because of the spiritual significance.  "Follow the way of love, even as Christ loved you, having given Himself for us, an offering and sacrifice to God, a sweet smelling savor." ^{(Ephesians 5 verse 1 thru 2.)} Very interestingly, the quality of bread that this church had served in the natural setting was marred, given that the oil in the bread was usually rancid in my mouth.  Even during the spiritual dream, my mind was aware of this problem of natural oil rancidity, in the bread that was presented as the Body of Jesus Christ.  In the visionary dream, immediately after consuming the Lord's sweet Body, I was awake, as if not asleep at all.  I pondered the visionary dream for a few moments, and then quickly fell asleep, and found myself off into a sequential dream experience.

The second Communion dream of the same night.

I was in the entrance to the foyer of a Roman Catholic Church.  To my immediate left stood one man, and to my right was a priest dressed in a black tunic with a white collar, and a black head piece.  I heard them talking to each other.  The man to my left had a look of great dismay on his face, as he was expressing his sense of loss, even while standing in that church building, and in the presence of the priest.  The priest, trying to reassure the man, implied that he was in the right place, and mumbled some thing about the great traditions of the Catholic Church.  Concerned for the man, and not satisfied with the response from the priest (who in the dream represented spiritual authority), I sheepishly interjected to the man, that he should seek after Jesus Christ, his Savior with the entirety of his heart.

Note: The Roman Catholic Church has taught that the church's traditions, along with the papal and council decrees, have held the same authority as the Bible, or the Word of God.  While it is true that the apostolic traditions of the early church, as seen in Scripture (Sola Scriptura) remains effectual to the Body of Jesus Christ, however, those teachings that depart from the heart of Scripture have brought spurious traditions that lead to confusion, and a separation of the collective heart of the people, who should be seeking after the Heart of God in Spirit and Truth.  Obedient love and devotion to God the Father, through His Personal WORD and Son Jesus Christ alone, is the sufficiency of the universal faith, which reveals that ones trust and faith in Holy God, justifies the soul, showing within us through His Spirit, the mirrored love of Christ, being manifested to the world.

I then walked between the two men into the main sanctuary, with a resolute understanding in my mind; I was there to receive (actually take or steal), seemingly out of dire necessity, the Communion Body of the Lord from the tabernacle.  As I stood there alone for a moment, I saw the height of the ceiling, and can recall that the church had a Gothic like structure.  Certainly for the religious, the building had a satisfying religious atmosphere.  It was dimly lit, with some sunlight coming through the stain glassed windows. Then I began to walk the center isle passing the many empty rows of pews and  straight to the tabernacle where the bread was stored.  I suppose in Roman Catholicism, I was about to commit a sacrilege, for with my own hands I was going to help myself from the tabernacle.    

While approaching the entrance to the altar, I saw to the left of the altar, and outside the railing and tabernacle, a dark, even black rectangular hole in the wall, which resembled a food serving pass through.  Puzzled, I was drawn or pulled over to this dark opening.  As I stood in front of the opening, and looking into the darkness behind the wall, I saw to my left,  the torso of a man, clothed in white garments standing behind the rectangular hole in the wall. I never did see his face, for his head was above the lentil of the pass through.  He moved towards me, and I instinctively reached out my right hand, and at that moment he placed a small white circular host of unleavened bread upon my opened hand.  I thought about the strangeness of receiving communion in what seemed like an impersonal manner, but then again that is our perception, created by the spurious doctrines of men.  In that next moment, I was turned to my left, and not in the direction I had come from, and began quickly moving toward a large Door in the side wall.  Approaching the solid Door, I became quite concerned, because I couldn't stop my travel and I was going to feel very embarrassed when I ran into that Door.  Even if there was time to open the Door, there was no handle on the Door for me to turn.  As I  was looking around I began saying to myself, who’s going to open the Door?  Is there any one here that will open that Door for me?  It seems like I was being driven with a purpose, but not of my own accord.  I braced my mind for the collision that was about to take place, but I passed completely through the solid unopened Door as if it were not - there at all.

Immediately, I found myself outside of the building’s block walls, and into the light of day.  I was standing, as it were, in lush green and rolling pastureland that went as far as the eye could see.  It also seems to me that below the hills there was a solitary tree standing beside a still river. But, my mind's attention returned quickly to the Holy Communion Host, which was still in my hands.  When my gaze again rested upon the Bread, the Bread had a golden glow behind  it as the light was extended throughout the flat bread.  The glowing Bread had enlarge itself many times in my hands, gaining in size to the circumference like unto a volley ball.  The Bread remained flat or thin, semi-transparent and interlaced with many small irregular, perfectly fitting pieces, and as such, the flat glowing Bread appeared to be whole and complete. The Bread was like a jigsaw puzzle with miniature pieces, and yet still one piece of Bread with no separations between the many infused pieces.  I was compelled to raise this 'one whole piece of Bread' to my wide opened mouth, and began to eat.  I was uncontrollably gobbling down that Heavenly Host; I emphasize, because now it kept enlarging in my hands, as if the Bread was alive and never-ending.  The more I ate, the more there was, the more there was, the more I ate.  My hands, which I could not control, were shoveling that 'Holy Bread' down my throat, as if the 'Bread' was a conveyor belt it self, and extended itself far beyond where my eyes could see.  It seemed my Life depended on that One Bread, and I could never be filled till I came to the end of that Bread, and yet the Bread would never end.   With my mouth hanging wide open, I opened my eyes as if I had never been asleep.

I can assure you that the Word of God is not stale or rancid bread as is carelessly presented in the churches, but the Lord Jesus is alive, and His Word is alive in dynamic power to all who receive Jesus, in trusting and living faith, for He is Yahweh God's Bread of Life.  I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation wherewith you are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.  There is One Body, and One Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, One faith, One baptism, One God and Father of all, Who is above all, and through all, and in you all. ^{(Ephesians 4 verse 1 thru 6.)}

Scripture concerning the Body of Christ:

But speaking the TRUTH in love, we may grow up into Him in all things, which is the Head, even Christ from Whom the whole body fitly joined together, and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, (that) makes increase of the Body, unto the building up of Itself in LOVE.  ^{(Ephesians 4 verse 15 thru 16.)}  

For as the Body is one, and has many members, and all the members of that one Body, being many, are One Body: so also is Christ.  ^{(1st Corinthians 12 verse 12.)}  

But now has God set the members every one of them in the Body, as it has pleased Him.  But now are they many members, yet but one Body.  ^{(1st Corinthians 12 verse 18, 20.)}  

Nay, much more those members of the Body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:   And those members of the Body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.  ^{(1st Corinthians 12 verse 22 thru 23.)} 

That there should be no schism in the Body; but, that the members should have the same care one for another.  ^{(1st Corinthians 12 verse 25.)} 

Now you are the Body of Christ, and members in particular.  ^{(1st Corinthians 12 verse 27.)}

For, we are members of His Body, of His Flesh, and of His Bones.  ^{(Ephesians 5 verse 30.)}  

Even though there are different functions in the natural body of mankind, each and every cell of that body has the same identifying DNA in the nucleus of the cell, and each healthy cell functions to support the total maintenance for the wellbeing of the body.  Although the DNA remains the same in every cell, the cells were differentiated by the zygote, whose instructions bring about the needful specialized functions of the cellular body to make the body, a whole, self-supporting entity.  A zygote is the male fertilized ovum from the female that has all of the cellular instructions for the creation of the species. 

So it is with the Body of Jesus Christ. Our souls are like an ovum waiting to be impregnated by the Seed of the Word of God through our faith in Jesus Christ. For as He is One with Yahweh God and His Holy Spirit, so are we to be One in Him.  In context, we might say, we all have the same spiritual genetics of the WORD of God, for we are all members together in the One Body of Jesus Christ.  Yahweh God's Holy Spirit, binds us together in the Love of the Almighty God, so that we would function as One, to the glory of the One God Almighty. Our individual functional capacity in the Body of Christ, is set in motion through His Holy Spirit, Who through the Seed of His WORD, differentiates each member to function in accordance to God's Love for the Holy Good of the Body of Jesus Christ.  The New Covenant Blood of Jesus Christ gives the members of His Body, His LIFE and security, for the Holy Spirit of LIFE is one with the Holy Blood of our Salvation.  Without God's Holy Spirit, Who is one with the Serum Water and the Blood of Jesus Christ, abiding in the soul, then there is no Eternal LIFE for that soul.

The Memorial of Remembrance.
 

Frankly, it took me quite some time to understand, 'ROBERT'S MEMORIAL'.  I was a junior, obviously named after my father.  My first given name was 'Robert', but I had always been called by my middle name, Glenn.  This was a family convenience, so that I would not be confused with my natural father and his identity with the name of Robert.  However, God's Holy Spirit did momentarily inscribe my first name on the Bread.  Ironically in the dream, rather than recognizing my first name of Robert, which I had never acknowledged in public, I was wondering why a funeral home named, 'ROBERT'S MEMORIAL' was being advertised on the Communion Host.  I hope you will begin to understand the spiritual irony, as we continue our exploration of Almighty God's Word of Faith.  Of a small note, my first given name 'Robert' means, 'Excellent', which was added before 'Memorial' in the Unleavened Bread, and my middle name of 'Glenn' has the meaning of valley.

In our participation in this Excellent Memorial of God's Love and Grace, then together we are commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ for the sins of our corrupted flesh, so then,

"What shall we say? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid.  How shall we that are dead to (because of) sin, live any longer therein? ^{(See Romans 6 verse 1.)}  It is a fact witnessed in the death of all of humanity, that sin's sentence of death had already been imposed upon me.  Now then in faith, why should I continue to do the very things that bring death?

Know you not, that every one of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death?" (Note: We all have, as it were a tombstone, a living memorial of our death, into the death of Jesus Christ for our sins of death). "Therefore, we are buried with HIM by baptism into (His) death: that like as Jesus Christ was raised up from the dead by the Glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in the newness of His Life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection. Thank Father God's Goodness and Mercy, for in Christ Jesus' resurrection from the dead, sin's condemnation of death has no more power over the faithful that abide in the Life of Christ Jesus.  Knowing this, that our old (selfish idolatrous) man is crucified (to death) with Him, that henceforth we should not serve sin." ^{(See Romans 6 verse 2 thru 7.)} 

Therefore, because of an active and believing faith in God's Amnesty Covenant in the Blood of Jesus Christ, then I, who was initially justified by the baptism into Jesus and His death and resurrection, now saw in the Lord's Sanctifying Memorial of Remembrance, His Crucifixion death, and once again my own memorial of death to sin.  Perhaps the initial justification with my baptism into the Serum Water of the Blood of Christ Jesus through the Spirit of the Word of God, remains effectual without Communion.  But we should remember that the Spirit of the Blood of Jesus Christ is LIFE for the Body of Jesus Christ, whose members we are, and is brought about because of God's Gift of Faith in Jesus Christ' Eternal Sacrificial LIFE giving Blood, given on God's altar of the cross. ^{(Click here to see God's Amnesty Program.)} Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,  Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith; ^{(See Hebrews 12 verse 1 thru 2.}) The Scriptures make it abundantly clear, that sin continues to breed death in the natural flesh of man, even those who are being saved. Therefore let not sin have dominion over you, but resist sin and submit yourselves to God and the devil will flee from you.  ^{(See James 4 verse 1 thru 10.)} The pride of the flesh of mankind will not humbly submit to the Almighty God for cleansing, but will work out its own twisted justification for sin without God's Sanctification in the Blood of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Now, my living declaration of faith is in Christ Jesus' death, burial and resurrection, and is the same as Paul's:  I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ Who lives in me; and the LIFE I now live in the flesh I live by Faith in the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself for me. ^{(Galatians 2 verse 20.)} Of the TRUTH, that is Jesus Christ, the experiences through the Communion dreams, have given me a clearer understanding of how the Eternal Father sees the finished perfection of His people that abide IN LIFE within His Son Jesus/Yeshua.  Only the perfection of God's Love, working within the whole being of the resurrected Body, Soul and Spirit of God's Son, Jesus Christ, makes this possible.

It became evident through the Communion dreams, that because of Faith in Jesus Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection, the believing soul would be resurrected sinless into Jesus Holy raised Body.  This spiritual reality of the Body of Jesus Christ, as Living Bread in Holy Communion, was made alive to my heart and mind, because the Lord opened my eyes to see the TRUTH of the Bread of LIFE Who is alive forevermore. If  you have been raised with Christ, then seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of Almighty God.  Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.  For, you have died, and your (new) LIFE is hid with Christ in God. When Christ Who is our LIFE appears, then you also will appear with Him in Glory. ^{(Colossians 3 verse 1 thru 3.)} 

To better appreciate our called membership within the Body of Jesus Christ, then look again with me into the dream, where the True Bread of Heaven continually expands in my hands, and I can not stop eating of that Holy Bread.  The souls of all repentant believers were spiritually there in that Unleavened Bread of Life.  Each saved soul was illustrated, seemingly like a solitary piece of a mystical puzzle, joined together within the One Living Body of Jesus Christ, where sin is cleansed from His believing members by the LIFE Blood of Jesus: so that your hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;  In Whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. ^{(KJV) for Amplified see Colossians 2 verse 2 thru 3.)}  Of the TRUTH in the Body of Jesus Christ,  the Unleavened Bread was alive in my hands, for indeed that Bread is the Bread of LIFE; and the multi-dimensional WORD of GOD remains active and ALIVE for all time.  The TRUTH is always settled in the Word of God, for the Word of God is Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is the TRUTH, the WAY and the LIFE of men.  Without the TRUTH nothing would exist of the universe, but the TRUTH prevails in what the heavens reveal.  The same Power of the TRUTH exist in the Bread and Wine as being Holy Sanctified in Faith by His Word of TRUTH.  This IS My Body given for you: This IS My Blood of the New Covenant shed for many for the remission of sin.  ^{(See "Seeing the Sword of the Spirit.")}

Incidentally, a number of years following the visionary dreams, I found in a Greek Orthodox liturgical manual the phrase: "The never ending Body of Jesus Christ"; and so it seemed to me in the dream.  The Body of Jesus Christ, whose members we are, is synergistic with in the whole Body of Christ, with each individual part working together with each other being knitted together in God's Perfect Love for His manifest Glory to be seen in the earth.  But speaking the TRUTH in Love, we may grow up into Him in all things, which is the Head, even Christ: From Whom the whole Body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, which makes increase of the Body unto the edifying of itself in Love.  ^{(Ephesians 4 verse 15 thru 16.)} So we, being many, are One Body in Christ, and every one members one of another. ^{(Romans 12 verse 5.)} 

At this juncture, if I have word painted adequately along with Scripture, then we should have concluded through the Word of God and illustration, that each individually redeemed person, through the Body and Blood of Christ Jesus in Holy Communion, has an ongoing living memorial of death to carnal self within Jesus Christ, with His sacrificial death for us sinners.  God’s purpose, in our Communion with His Word and Son, is that the heart and spirit of those of Promise would be revived, and renewed, being knitted together in God’s unfailing Love. And now that the sinful flesh of man is covered by the New Covenant LIFE giving Blood of Jesus the Christ of God, we can now worship our Great God in Spirit and the TRUTH of His WORD.

And so, when we each  partake of the One Bread of Jesus Christ's Holy Body, and drink of His Spiritual and yet extra-dimensionally Real Blood, we remember that the primary reason Jesus died, is because of God’s Love for lost man, and so that  we individually would not be eternally separated from God’s Love.  We have been reconciled to Yahweh God the Father, having been found within the Body of Jesus Christ and cleansed through His Sanctifying Blood for our acknowledged failures in the flesh.  Now in God's Grace we are to identify with our new LIFE within the One God Almighty. For behold, old things have passed away, and all things have become new! For the Love of Christ controls us, because we are convinced that One has died for all; therefore all have died.  And He died for all, that those who live might live no longer for themselves, but for Him Who for their sake died and was raised.  From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once regarded Christ from a human point of view, we regard Him thus no longer. Therefore, if any one is IN Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.  All this is from God, Who through Christ reconciled us to Himself, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; ^{(2nd Corinthians 5 verse 14 thru 18. N.A.S.B.).}  

IN Holy Communion, we are to be refreshed in the Perfect Love of God, and renewed in the favor of the Lord's Life! Furthermore, in identifying with the same Sacrificial Love that God has bestowed on each one of us, we also are partaking, and identifying with our fellow brothers and sisters in the newness of their Life, and in the Love which is in Jesus Christ, regardless of their denominational background, race or natural gender! If Paul's romantic revelation of the person, who remains in Jesus Christ as being a new creation in Him and the abode of the Holy Spirit, then perhaps the whole of the splintered church would be reconciled to herself, as One in Christ Jesus.  There will be only the one Bride of the Man Jesus Christ.

At that day you shall know that I AM in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He that has My Commandments, and keeps them, he it is that Loves Me: and he that Loves Me shall be Loved of My Father, and I will Love him, and will manifest Myself to him.  Judas not Iscariot, said unto Him: Lord, how is it that Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto Judas, If a man Love Me, he will keep My Words: and My Father will Love him, and We will come unto him, and make our Abode with him. He that loves Me not keeps not my sayings: and the Word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's which sent Me. ^{(John 24 verse 20-24.)}

Partial Summary of the Night Visions. 'This is My Body'.

1. It seems that I was being driven or ushered through the visionary experiences, like a sheep or lamb that is driven through the gates by its Master. 

2. In the Roman Catholic Church, at the time of this writing, Christ's LIFE giving Blood of the sacrament generally is not provided to the congregation for expedience sake.  In this website, see the erroneous Catholic Doctrine on Both Species. The green remarks in the partial treatise are of my own thoughts brought about from the visionary dreams.

3. My visionary excursion began with the partaking of the Sacramental Blood of Jesus in the Protestant Church where it was a monthly scheduled ritual. This was the beginning of two consecutive dreams, as the first dream began in the Protestant church, and the second finished outside the walls of the Catholic Church and into a lovely pastureland.

4. Most importantly, in the Protestant church, where Communion was offered, I first received unto myself with true thanksgiving, the fruit of the vine as the Covenant Blood of the Lamb of God, given for the forgiveness of my sins. Does not the Lord of LIFE say IN TRUTH: "This is My Blood of the New Covenant that is shed for many for the remission of sin". ^{(Matthew 26 verse 28.)} Because of its dynamic importance to faith, we bring an added emphasis to Christ's Words of the Covenant: "for the remission of sin." Without the Perfect LIFE Force of the Blood of God's New Covenant dwelling within the celebrants hearts, then Christ's comforting Word's to forgive sin are just rhetorical expression of unbelieving humanity, lacking the Authority of the Spirit of God, and now the congregational members remain in their separating sins of the flesh.

5. After entering the sanctuary of the Roman Catholic Church, I did not essentially receive or take the Bread of LIFE, from the Tabernacle within the Church.  Even though the experience was a dream, I believe it is truly apparent that the True Bread from Heaven was not stored in the Tabernacle. The Word of God bears this out; "You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread, or let the fat of My feast remain until the morning".  ^{(Exodus 23 verse 18).}

6. It is evident to me that the Bread of LIFE is given through the Spirit of Christ and is One and the Same in all churches that would honor His saving Word.  Please, consider the above scripture, Exodus 23 verse 18, and remember that we participating in the Lord's Real Sacrificial Offerings, and they are not to be defiled with our careless unbelief.

7. Jesus Christ is the Redeemer of the hearts of men, and saves man into His Body through their Covenanting Faith in all that He is.  It is not being a member of any institutional church that adds merit to the believer’s relationship to God and their position of service within the Body of their Savior.

8. In both dreams, the receiving of the Eucharistic or Thanks Offerings, took place outside the closed off designated altar area and tabernacle.  Communion in the Body and the LIFE giving Blood of Jesus Christ is to be on the common ground of our humility, and our collective need for the Lord's unifying Holy Spirit.

9. True Faith or the lack of Faith in the Substance of the Word's of Jesus Christ concerning His Holy Communion with His people, may be the primary distinction between the celebrants of the Churches that are to serve the people of God, Catholic or Protestant. The Word's of Jesus Christ, our High Priest, are distinctly Divine TRUTH, and yet, for all the TRUTH that is in His Word declared Body and Covenant Blood, it requires a maturing of Faith that moves beyond the unbelief of the reasoning mind of flesh.  The Protestant Pastor in the first dream was directing and participating in the solemnity of Holy Communion, although not doctrinally sound with a completed passion for the Sacrament.  This matter of bold faith in scripture with proper instructions needs to be communicated with bold grace to the assembly of people, who ultimately consecrate to their souls the Body and Sanctifying Blood of Jesus Christ.  By Christ's Grace, all believers who are baptized into the death of Jesus Christ are invited to come worship, fellowship and dine at the Table with the Almighty God, as His children of sanctified LIFE and Light.

10. Because of false doctrines, all institutions are guilty before God, and encumber the Body of believers with their sin.  For centuries, the exclusive tradition of the Roman Catholic Church has excluded the Blood of Jesus Christ from the people of the pews, leaving the Church in the darkness of men's doctrines, and without the TRUTH of  the sanctifying LIFE of their Savior. A fact of life: The life of the flesh is in the blood, for the flesh, without the life blood, is dead.  The Roman Church itself, caught up in their sanctified idolatry with its doctrines of demons, quite naturally became schismatic, and the shed Blood of Christ that revives the dead through His sanctifying LIFE to be for His people, was deprived from its members. If the Sanctifying Blood of Jesus is cut off from its members, then they will become inactive and may fall away, as if dead.  In the beginning of the reformation, the Hussites the followers of Jan Hus, a Catholic priest and advocate of John Wycliffe, did not see True LIFE within the Roman church, and left the Church in order to give its members both the Body and the Blood of Jesus Christ, and to look to the Word of God as the Fountain of TRUTH.

11. In the Roman Catholic Church, I am presuming that the Person, whose Face I could not see behind the dark rectangular hole in the wall, was Christ's Holy Spirit.  I understand that sometimes in a spiritual dream or vision, a faceless man can be emblematic of God's Holy Spirit.  It was He, Who gave to me the Bread of LIFE and opened my eyes of understanding.  Looking at all the communal churches, God's Holy Spirit brings the Oil of Gladness to His people that are redeemed from sin by the New Covenant Blood of the Lamb of God, and although many, they see themselves being Sanctified as One in the Bread of LIFE.  The False doctrines of the Churches, is rancid oil and is of no value to the people of God, and needs to be confessed for the sins that they are, and cleansed through the Communion Blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

12. Jesus (Yeshuah) was the Door I passed through. ^{(John 10 verse 1 thru 9.)}  I AM the Door, by Me if any man enters in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out and find pasture!   Also, Psalm 23, seems to have some roots in the dreams symbolism. verses 1 thru 3: The LORD is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His Name’s sake. verse 5, You prepare a Table before me in the presence of my enemies.

Our Advocate and Head Shepherd, Jesus, the Christ of God, has given His redeemed people a continual invitation to feast together in His Sanctifying Provisions, found in Him Alone.  Because of His Sanctifying Blood, we are entering in through the Holy Door (that is His Flesh, or Veil of the holiest sanctuary) into His Pasture of Provision, so that we would be nourished in His Resurrection Power, that supplies every member, who are held together in the bonds of His Perfect Love for us.  From Scripture it appears, that God the Almighty, sees the believer as having been planted into the sorrows of the death of His Son, and risen IN LIFE within His Holy Body, so that we should in the perfection of His Love be growing together, nourishing one another, feeding together, embracing one another, protecting one another and functioning together, as one in servant hood to Him, to each other, and to this lost generation. The Perfect Love of God always excludes the desires of self serving sin, for we sinners, have been crucified with Christ. Therefore, it is no longer to be the individual self serving person that lives, but Christ Jesus, Who Sacrificially Loved and wholly gave Himself to mankind, so that He may bring the Sanctifying Spirit of His LIFE within each believing member that is added to His Body. Jesus says to all, Truly, Truly, I say unto you, Except you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His Blood, you have no LIFE in you.  Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.  But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. ^{(2nd Corinthians 3 verse 17 thru 18.)}
