How to Eat the Body and Drink the Blood Unworthily?
Treating the Holy Communion as Ordinary, Common or as a Ritual
Many believers approach the Holy Communion as a religious routine or ritual rather than a sacred participation in Christ.
—They take the bread and cup casually;
—They have no reverence in their hearts for the sacrifice of Christ;
—They eat and drink without remembering Christ or worshipping Him in their hearts.
The Holy Communion represents the broken body and shed blood of Christ. When this is ignored, the Body is not discerned.

To discern the Lord’s body means to rightly recognize, understand, and treat with reverence what the body of the Lord represents, especially during the Lord’s Supper (Communion).

1. Discern the Lord’s Body by Recognizing the Lord’s Sufferings Before and on the Cross.
•To discern the Lord’s body is to recognize that the bread represents the physical body of Jesus Christ that was given and broken for our salvation.
•To discern the Lord’s body is to acknowledge the beatings and the bruises on his body as part of what makes up the token of the Lord’s body. He was actually beaten. His body came under severe abuse and maltreatment all because of us. It is critical therefore to always remember the suffering of Christ whenever you approach his body.
(Mathew 26:27 NLT, Isaiah 52:14 NLT, Isaiah 53:2, 5 NLT).

2. Discern the Lord’s Body by Understanding that His body was given for the forgiveness of sins.
The body of Jesus Christ was given to the world as a living sacrifice to bring about forgiveness of sins. Jesus needed to be beaten and crucified because without the shedding of blood, there is no remission or forgiveness of sins.
(Hebrews 9:22 NLT, Isaiah 52:14 NLT).

1. Every physical problem no matter what it is has a spiritual source or connection to something spiritual. This means that, the solutions to physical problems are hidden in the spirit.

2. So until you deal with the spiritual source of the problem, you will not change your physical circumstances.

3. Dry bones represent a prolonged situation of hopelessness without any solution. No man who is hopeless can help himself except God helps Him.

4. However God said to the Prophet to speak and prophesy upon these bones and say them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. I will cause breath to enter into you and you will live.

•Character is a mental and moral quality distinctive to an individual in the ministry.

•Anointing attracts people, but character sustains the people. God can gather but your character can scatter the people. The special skill of dealing with people in all situations is required.
