Listener: Today is Saturday, and since the Holy Spirit recently told us that He would provide Daily Bread only five days a week, I did not expect a message today, having forgotten that there was no message on Tuesday. Because I was not expecting Daily Bread, I did not have the Tabula Rasa notebook with me when I stood over the Lord’s Table, and therefore unfortunately did not record Holy Spirit’s exact words. He began to speak as I broke the bread and poured the wine, telling me that since daily Communion is such a great blessing to me, I should share my testimony regarding how very important Communion is to me and how frequently He meets me there, with His Presence as well as with revelation. As Holy Spirit spoke, I remembered the joy which flooded my soul the day, years ago, when I was told that I could enjoy the privilege of coming to the Lord’s Table in my home every day. At that time I had just left a denomination where Communion was observed quarterly, and I had always yearned for MORE. The new fellowship to which Holy Spirit had led me observed Communion every Sunday, and when I expressed my appreciation of this frequency to the pastor, I was assured that God would honor my coming to His Table as often as I desired. I lack the words to adequately express what this has meant to me over the years. I have never come out of obligation or because I believed that this was a service which God required me to perform. I have come, and He knows that I have come, out of my deep desire to begin the day affirming to Him and to myself that I need Him and that the bread and the wine representing the Body and the Blood of My Lord and Savior also represent that which is absolutely central in my life. This private meeting with the Lord has become so precious that even on Sunday, when I know that we will have Communion after the sermon, I still come to His Table in our accustomed meeting place in my home to express my worship, adoration, gratitude, and anything else that Holy Spirit places on my heart for the day. I believe that He wants you to experience this same blessing, whether it is every day or whenever He gives you the burning desire. His requirements are so simple. I use wine and unleavened matzo, but this is because I am picky…He is not. Grape juice or any liquid, even water is acceptable to Him…any bread or cracker will suffice. He is not concerned about what you place on His Table; He is concerned about what you bring in your heart and what you allow Him to place in your heart. Shalom.
