The 8 Steps of “Personal Communion”
For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this to remember me
.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
Step 1
Appreciation
- Thanksgiving
Begin by thanking the Lord for his grace. All the blessings in your life
Ps 100:4-5 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name. 5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
- Then Praise Him (who He is)
Ps 135:1 Praise the name of the Lord; praise him, you servants of the Lord,
Ps 103:2
2 Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me.
Step 2
Neutralize the enemy
Apply the Cup (Blood of Jesus)
The reason why so many Christians are coming under such heavy attacks from both demons and evil people in this world is because they do not have God’s full protection on them.
The Blood has power and the enemy is defeated because of it! The work of the cross is the source of all of that power and don’t you forget it! Benny Hinn
Eph 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, (freedom from the enemy’s attacks) according to the riches of His grace
Matt 26:28 for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins (freedom from the enemy)
Step 3
Apply the armor of God
Eph 6:11-18 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes
- Helmet of Salvation
- Breastplate of Righteousness
- Sword of the Spirit
- Belt of Truth
- Shield of Faith
- Shoes of the Gospel of Peace
Step 4
Declare your authority and victory through Christ
Confess – to agree
Isa 54:17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper
1 John 4:4-5 Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
1 Cor 15:57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Step 5
Receive the Cup
Step 6
Declare your Testimony- see Your Confessions of Faith
The Bread
Rec. 12:11They defeated the enemy by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony;
- Bring your needs to the Lord (specific)
- Share your heart with God
- Declare the Word ( see Personal Confessions) against your needs
Don’t just visualize… You need to verbalize
Pray in the Spirit
Step 7
Take the Bread
Steps 8
Declare Victory by Faith
“I receive answers to my prayers and I walk in victory this day in Jesus” name.”
1 John 5:14-15
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us — whatever we ask — we know that we have what we asked of him.
Rom 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
1 Cor 15:57
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Psalm 90: 14 & 17
Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all of our days.
May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us – yes, establish the work of our hands .
