I remember once the Lord showed me a vision where He was breaking bread. He was breaking the bread, and He told me--He told me to eat His flesh.
Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me.
John 6:53-57
This is what happens during communion, when we get together as a church or alone and eat in remembrance of the Lord. And it also happens when we commune with Him spiritually. That's when we are nourished. That's when the Father gives us our daily bread (Matthew 6:11). Jesus mediates this, and in the vision He gave, the Lord Jesus tore that loaf right open.
After this experience, I was instructed to get to the online Hebrew/Greek lexicon. I find God likes to confirm Himself that way. And I felt Him tell me to plug in the number 1234, into Hebrew. So I did.
Strong's 1234- baqa
--to split, cleave, break open, divide, break through, rip up, break up, tear
Wow! That's communion. That's when God through His Son rightly divides the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15). He comes along with the Spirit of love and the Spirit of revelation (Ephesians 1:17). He divides the fresh bread of the Word for us, so that we can then do it for others! He gives us nourishment that leaves us empowered, not ashamed.
And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." Luke 22:19
Let's break bread with Him before we break it with anyone else. Let's come to Him. Those who seek Him find Him. Let's feast on His holiness. Let's come to Him and never hunger again!
