7 Steps To Take Communion for Your Healing

Have you ever walked into a room where your kids were fussing and fighting? What did you do? Did you ignore the situation? Did you turn around and go back out the door you came in? No! You addressed the situation immediately.

That’s exactly what Paul did with the church at Corinth in 1 Corinthians 11. This church was fussing, fighting and not getting along. Paul addressed them in this letter: “First, I hear that there are divisions among you when you meet as a church…. When you meet together, you are not really interested in the Lord’s Supper. For some of you hurry to eat your own meal without sharing with others. As a result, some go hungry while others get drunk” (verses 18, 20-21). Paul then goes on to explain how they are to partake of the Lord’s Supper (Communion) and how their fussing and fighting—their not walking in love with one another—could even be a  hindrance to the healing of their bodies (verses 29-30).

Examine yourself to see if you are walking in love, make any adjustments in your heart, and follow these 7 Steps To Take Communion for Your Healing.

What Is Communion?

Communion is much more than a religious tradition—it symbolizes everything Jesus did for you at Calvary. When you partake of the cup (representing the blood), you are remembering that Jesus delivered you from sin. When you eat the bread (representing His body), you are acknowledging the physical and spiritual torment Jesus endured to deliver you from temptation, addiction, worry, care, fear, poverty, lack and every part of the curse. That includes sickness and disease (Isaiah 53:5).

When Can You Take Communion?

You don’t have to wait until you go to church to receive Communion. You can receive it anytime and anywhere. In fact, if you haven’t made a practice of taking Communion on a regular basis, it’s time to start! The Communion table is the healing table, the deliverance table and the confession table. It’s the powerhouse of God.

Every time you take Communion, it drives your roots even deeper into your faith in what the Covenant of God means to you, and what the body and blood of Jesus has paid for you. Use your faith to take Communion and do so with determined purpose.

Take Communion for Your Healing

Step 1: Purchase a Communion set for your own personal use. There are even individual, prefilled cup and wafer sets with a long shelf life available for easy use or transport. Alternatively, you can use crackers and grape juice (or anything else!).

Step 2: You can take Communion alone, or with a family member or friend.

Step 3: You can take Communion every day. Taking Communion is appropriating the blood of Jesus over your life, thanking Him for ALL He has done. It isn’t a religious ceremony, so you don’t have to wait for a minister to serve it to you.

Step 4: Examine yourself before you take Communion. Before you partake, the Bible tells you to examine your heart (1 Corinthians 11:28-29). Ask God for forgiveness in areas where you’ve missed the mark (strife, unforgiveness, jealousy, envy, hatred, covetousness, fear, worry, unbelief, etc.). Also, be sure you are not receiving Communion as just a religious exercise instead of accepting everything Jesus’ sacrifice provided.

Step 5: Partake of the bread, which symbolizes the physical and spiritual torment Jesus bore to redeem you from all areas of the curse. With this in mind, say: Lord, it’s not right that I suffer from sickness or disease. I judge it now as being from Satan, and I reject it. I refuse to receive it any longer. I partake of the sacrifice of Your Son’s body, and I receive the abundant life that You have provided, in Jesus’ Name.

Step 6: Partake of the cup and make this confession: Father, I give You thanks for all You have provided for me through the New Covenant in Christ Jesus. I partake of those promises now! I am healed. I am redeemed. I am the head and not the tail. I am above and not beneath. I take the healing You sacrificed to give me, and I thank You and praise You for it, in Jesus’ Name.

Step 7: Be settled on the matter. Once you have taken Communion, settle your healing in your heart according to God’s Word. Don’t just hope it is done—know it.

No matter what sickness or pain you are experiencing in your body, you can be delivered through these 7 Steps To Take Communion for Your Healing. God is the best parent, and instead of ignoring the fussing and fighting among His family—the Body of Christ—He has provided a way for believers to examine themselves, make sure they are walking in love, and allow the healing power of God to work in their bodies.
