Common Union

Listen to the Podcast

The word communion makes me think of "common union." Something I feel like God has been showing me is that communion should be a time to celebrate our union with him, that we are one with him. 1 Corinthians 6:17 says whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.

One of the dictionary definitions of communion is the sharing or exchanging of intimate thoughts and feelings, especially when the exchange is on a mental or spiritual level.

1 Corinthians 10:16 says "Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?" Communion can be a time to celebrate our union with him and a reminder of our participation. We are not sitting on the sidelines watching God do everything, we get to participate and be part of what God is doing. 

In today's communion we are asking God to remove anything that is blocking our oneness with him. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

Today is Day 6 of the Daniel Fast. When we reach the 10th day which is the Day of Atonement, I do a total fast with no food or water. This year the total fast will start on the evening of Oct 4th and go through the evening of Oct 5th. If you plan to do the total fast, then make sure to hydrate well beforehand and most importantly roll the pressure of it onto God. Rely on him to sustain you.
