Don’t Forget Holy Communion! (Updated)
Update
Good morning.
This subject today, I believe needs to be re-visited.
I’m talking about Christians taking ‘Holy Communion’ and even more often.
Many times in my Christian walk, I have taken Communion. Most of us have!
Yet a few years back, I stepped up taking it more often.
Always we need do a reverential checking of our own hearts, first.
Lately a friend was over from out of town to visit. Also, my granddaughter had came over.
All of a sudden as we visited, The Holy Spirit prompted me to see if they wanted to take Communion?
We did, reading Scriptures and then playing worship. It was a wonderful time of Fellowship.
I had broken down and bought the little ‘packets‘ with the juice and wafers enclosed in the top, about a month ago.
Before I was just too ‘cost conscious’ of ordering them. It just makes it a little easier and more convenient for me.
Regardless, just don’t forget to partake of Holy Communion.
Don’t Forget Holy Communion!
This morning in Worship and Prayer, I began to weep before The LORD as I played the song on YouTube, “Nothing but the blood!”
I was just undone in His Very Presence!
He is a Holy God!
I was saying, “Not my brother or my sister, but it’s me o LORD!” (Like the song.)
Repenting, I was asking The LORD to show me ‘my sins’, not other peoples. It is a place we must stay in, to be any use to God and others.
It’s still the blood that has the power! The Precious ‘Blood of Jesus’ never loses its power!
Then The Holy Spirit started speaking: “Do you think I do not see, do not know all your difficulties you are going through My beloved Children?
Many of the battles you have fought on your knees, and now I say you are much stronger.
For surely I do say again to your hearts as I AM has said in times past.
Rise Up and just be Counted in My Kingdom!
For surely do I say further, Chosen Ones who will listen: “The bread and Wine is not given out to the weak.
You see when you take Holy Communion you Strengthen yourselves in Me! I AM in it, saith The LORD.
Read the Scriptures child — then post them!”
“And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is My Body.“
And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink ye all of it; for this is My Blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.“
Matthew 26:26-28.
“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: 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.“
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.“
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew The LORD’s death till he come.
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.
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning The LORD’s body.
For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
But when we are judged, we are chastened of The LORD, that we should not be condemned with the world.” 1 Corinthians 11:23-32.
As I close, I will now take Holy Communion.
God bless you all.

Nothing But The Blood
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Refrain:
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Now by this I’ll overcome —
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Now by this I’ll reach my home —
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Glory! Glory! This I sing —
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
All my praise for this I bring —
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
(Robert Lowry, pub.1876)

My name is Joyce D. McGuire, called to work in and for the Kingdom of God! To lead we must try to follow Jesus Christ closely. That is my heart. I am a Chaplain in the prisons; prophetic intercessor by His grace, author, and a Mother in the Kingdom of God. To many I am simply Mama Joyce. Some favorite verses of mine are Matthew 11:28-30.
Thank you ma. I take the COMMUNION on the ist of every month as the LORD instructed us to always do in our ministry- Prepared Vessels Ministries. As i was blessing the COMMUNION on the altar that evening the Holy Spirit spoke this scripture to my ears “the life of the flesh is in the blood”
If the wine in the communion is Jesus’ blood, and the life of a flesh is in the blood; it then means that the life of Jesus is in His blood so when i take the COMMUNION i take kn His life. I MANIFEST His life. His Nature. His person. His character.
This was our word charge on ist MARCH.
Again, i am miraculously healed of asthma. When i realised that I’m healed, no more reactions to anything, no more using of my inhaler. I practically forgot i had that condition. As i was thanking God and considering i realised it stopped just at the period God instructed me to take the COMMUNION on the first of every month. That affliction was demonic. Came suddenly. Symptoms deteriorated fast. Doctors at teaching hospital told me it can only be managed. It’s nine months now. All through the harmattan and dust and cold which is intense in my country. I can now sweep and even fry oil. Plus i know I’m healed. HALLELUJAH!
There’s power in the blood of Jesus.
Thank you mummy for reminding us.
Thank you Success for your comment. Also, thanking God for your healing.That is truly wonderful.
I believe and have found God’s word is always true!
The elements we use are ‘Symbolic’.
Still we are remembering the Lord’s death till He comes. Which is powerful and what we should do. When we obey we experience many benefits. God bless you. ❤️
Amen and AMEN
THANKS THE BLOOD SON OF GOD, THE LAMB OF GOD
HALLELUYAH
Thank you Wong and yes thank you Jesus most of all for your mighty blood sacrifice! ❤️
Yes Joyce – nothing but the blood of Jesus. Amen. Love – Elizabeth
Love you sister. ❤️
As always, my sweet friend, Joyce, we are on the same page. As the battle has heated up for my the last month, with one physical attack after another, I have once again turned to the power of the blood and am taking DAILY communion before I pray. Love the confirmation and so so beautifully presented straight from His heart. Love you so much my sister, Sandi
Thank you Sandi, and I can sure identify with the the physical attacks!
I likewise have started taking communion everyday now. Also, leaving worship on almost 24/7 even if low.
More warfare these days and more divine strategy in the offensive also!
Love how the Father has put us together as kindred spirits Prayers, hugs and love. ❤️
Hi Joyce, Such a powerful Word. The Lord has me taking Holy communion often lately. Love tho songs about the Blood of Jesus. They are my favourite ones. The Lord has me pleading the Blood many times a day and when I awaken in the night. Why am I not surprised as Sandy and you both mention physical attacks. Real warfare and contending. We must continue to resist and he must flee. It is head to toe literally. Needing miracle. Smile. My Mom used to say, the precious red blood of Jesus. Standing on by His stripes I was healed and binding all this opposition. Much love dear Joyce. Patricia
Thank you Patricia so much and the stand you take
I love what you wrote your Mama said, “the precious red blood of Jesus”!!
I just prayed in the spirit for your miracle. The song just came to me “There’s a miracle in the Making” Smiles. Hugs and prayers. ❤️
Thank you prophet. I took the communion 2 days ago and since then I feel revived and strengthened in the inner man. God bless you ma.
Thank you. After I reposted I took it too this morning. The Lord has stirred me to take the communion more frequently again. God bless you. ❤️ praying
Thank you Sr. Joyce.
Enjoyed reading your article.
We like to take Communion often.
Usually once a week.
So sorry Kathreen as thought I answered you. Amen! Hugs
The blood of Jesus set me (all of us) Free from sin & sorrow! The precious blood of Jesus is very much alive & active. Thank you Mama. Joyce. May the body & blood of Christ speak Mercy, strength, healing, restoration & peace to every area of your life, family & ministry in Jesus name.
@Adams Thank you much and the blood of Jesus all over you, your family and loved ones!
Thank you so much for your post. I have been taking communion once a day and it gives life! The blood is alive and active and living in submission and remembrance always is the ONLY way to go. Thanks again for this. I praise a loving and merciful God.
@ Michelle Gamblin Thank you Michelle for your response. Yes, we sure need to it in remembrance of Jesus and his blood sacrifice. May God richly bless you.
