A Personal Testimony: The Healing Power of Communion
On May 4, 2025, I fell gravely ill, weak, vomiting, and battling severe diarrhea. I couldn’t keep anything down, not even water. Completely drained, attending church was impossible.
However, my wife went to the service and brought home the Communion elements. She prayed over them before giving them to me.
After partaking, my condition initially worsened—I vomited violently, leaving everyone deeply concerned. Family members urged me to seek medical attention, but I held onto faith, declaring, ‘I have just consumed the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. Let’s wait and see His power at work.’
Then, at about 3:30 AM, a miracle happened. Strength suddenly surged through my body! The sickness vanished, and I felt hungry—a sign of full restoration. For the first time in a long while, I experienced the supernatural power of the Lord’s Supper.
What Is the Lord’s Supper?
The Lord’s Supper, also known as Communion or the Holy Eucharist, is a sacred ordinance instituted by Jesus Christ the night before His crucifixion. It is a divine meal where believers partake of bread and wine (or juice), symbolizing His body and blood. More than a ritual, it is a profound spiritual encounter that connects us to Christ’s redemptive work on the cross.
Jesus set an example
“And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’ Likewise, He also took the cup after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.’” (Luke 22:19-20, NKJV)
The Apostle Paul also emphasized the significance of Communion in 1 Corinthians 11:23-26, stating that whenever we partake, we “proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.”
What Does the Lord’s Supper Represent?
1. Remembrance of Christ’s Sacrifice – It keeps us mindful of Jesus’ broken body and shed blood for our salvation (1 Corinthians 11:24-25).
2. Spiritual Nourishment – Just as food strengthens the body, Communion brings divine health and strength (John 6:53-57).
3. Healing and Deliverance – By His stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). Communion activates this promise.
4. Covenant Renewal – It reaffirms our relationship with God, releasing blessings (Matthew 26:28).
5. Unity in the Body of Christ – It strengthens the bond among believers in faith and love (1 Corinthians 10:17).
A Call to Action: Let the Church Extend Communion to the Needy
Many believers, whether sick, aged, or homebound, are unable to attend church. Yet, the early Church understood the importance of bringing Communion to them (Acts 2:46).
Church leaders must revive this practice by sending Communion to the sick in hospitals, the elderly at home, and those unable to gather.
Paul warns in 1 Corinthians 11:27-30 about partaking unworthily. However, when received with faith and reverence, Communion becomes a channel of divine blessings, including:
- Healing (Mark 16:18)
- Financial Breakthrough (3 John 1:2)
- Marital Openings (Psalm 68:6)
- Fruitfulness (Exodus 23:26)
Conclusion: Expect Miracles Through Communion
The Lord’s Supper is more than a symbolic act; it is a divine encounter. As you partake in faith, expect healing to manifest, doors to open, and barrenness to break. May every Communion bring supernatural strength, sudden breakthroughs, and miraculous fruitfulness, in Jesus’ name!
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful (Hebrews 10:23). Amen!
