and week either they take every other week other take once a month or once a year how often we supposed to take communion and how often we should take from the body of christ when we met  church they have makes the bread together with the jews which is the wine and they mix it together and the priest give it to you and your in your mouth and they believe every time you take that communion you literal you take from the body of christ and from his and first going to chapter eleven verse twenty three says for i receive it from the lord that which i also deliver to you that the lord jesus in the same night which he was betrayed took bread and when he covenant in my blood this do as afternoon as you drink it remembers of me for as after after not you eat this bread and wring this cup you proclaim the lord lord that till he comes doesn't say here when you take the bread that bread will become the my body says you will do that and the memory of me you will do that and the remembers of me you remember what i did on the cross the same thing the jew people from the old testament they said to celebrate the passover every year since they celebrate the first passover when they've been in egypt when in christ who god's alarm was the final sacrifice lamb which been sacrificed for our salvation an old testament when they eat from the lamb and i was thinking that the other day i mean went to my mind so many times they've been forty years in the wilderness think about that there were no sickness no disease except certain things with people they did against the word of god and god killed them with other words but it was not easy nor sickness because of natural sickness which is coming right now i believe the children's when they be come to destroy the first born to not effect that house then eat the whole thing after that the remain as a law to do that every year to remember how they came from egypt up to four hundred years of slavery in egypt as a slaves and they came back to the country called right now israel wish to recover again one hundred forty eight but in those days moses too them and those four years every time they celebrate that pos hope for him every one of the new testament jesus was going to celebrate the pass holder and that when he did that breaking the bread and drinking that that jewish the wine which was represented his blood and he said you do that always in the members of me because he was the final sacrifice as the lamb was been sacrifice because many people they they just ask i believe some people they ask themselves says well i take communion and i'm still not here i pray i fast i do anything i can i fast iniquity have separate you from your god and you have seen have hidden his face from you so that he will not hear what is the problem and first going to chapter eleven when we take the communion number number one remember and that there panic us when three thousand people came to the lord when peter preach they were baptized and wire all three thousand they received  make it to understand the words i was telling you fourteen a half years without the words the holy spirit will interpret the word of god in their mind and they will give them the bowlus the power the wisdom that dorothy a the word of god and tell them i we are not drunk we are full of the spirit and the spirit of god is upon us and i want to tell you about the one who can save you and all of these three thousand they got saved and after that was five thousand so other sleep but if you judge yourself we will not be judge but when you are judge you are we are chastising by the lord that he may not be to condemn with the world and then when i was reading this what that means to examine ourselves community is a symbol of our believe in christ finishing work that means jesus already finished his work when we take the communion we see his finish and they understand what means the communion and if they go on as two forty two date they took the communion every day and they think in those days was every time they met somewhere where they meet somewhere in the homes or groups or anywhere they meet they take the communion because they break the bread and we see that example  chapter twenty verse seven the first day of the week when the disciples came together to break the bread i mean to take the communion pole ready to depart to the next day spoke to them and continue his message until midnight first day of the week is sunday according with this scripture and accepted twenty four seven right because that was the first day of the week and sunday was the seven days and sunday was the first day of the week is nothing wrong to meet the first day of the week to be together in the church or to have a church in your home if you don't have a church in the persecute country you don't have a building over there you met and  underground you you go in homes and you get together and homes and worship the lord and take communion they they break the bread and how often we have should take the bread each time you are having a gathering that's my advice i will do that in my own home and i know we have a group in romania and bucharest which we each time they made to each other they worship and they take the communion and they take in all fashion like they did in the and first century and the new testament and the disciples breaking the bread and take the communion and actually describe here is before you take the communion for or breaking the bread make sure you have nothing against no one it's very important to have no stri no hate no on forgiveness no baroness make sure you make a right with your brother because if you can that these are in the body of christ they are the body of christ the body on the continue to search yourself what's wrong with me what good idea or wrong and i needed to make a right with god in order for me to hear me when i talk to god god can talk to me that he can talk to me and tell me things what i need to change in order to hear god's voice i said many times you should be silent to listen to god's voice your ready tell him everything you need it but after that be silent feel his presence let the presence of god to flow inside of you and the power of god to change you from inside out because the word of god says everytime only examine your so of many of you are every time you take this bread the piece of bread you actually receive healing through his rights if we search your heart the time is going very fast and i want to go straight to the communion i want to ask you today if you have something against your brother or your sister or something in your heart which look like is not right between you and your sister make a phone call right now when i'm talking with you or send them a and say i'm asking you to forgive me for everything what i said the other day towards you but i want to have peace with you i don't want to have nothing against you it's hard to do that you can do it right now and the next few minutes because they're going to wait for you in a few minutes for you to make a right with that person which did their own to you buy you a say well but i was not guilty because that person did this and this and this to me and you know he and i support or she not supposed to do this to me we are here and titled to receive healing and deliverance and follow the footsteps of jesus what jesus did with his enemy with the people wish they crucify him innocent man which i die for you and he this thief believes she says and that's why he said to my member me when you get a bee in your kingdom ladies and gentlemen it's very important when you take this act of communion to not take it so lightly don't take it so easy don't take it you know say well it's just a piece of bread and you know everybody does that make a covenant with the lord be baptized in water the most important thing is to be baptized and make a covenant with him say i want to be baptized in water i want to make sure i want to make a covenant with god to take the communion with me say the same with me this prayer right now and when you say this prayer you mean it from your heart savior jesus i believe you are the son of god our take life in my body in jesus name i pray amen he said this prayer take this piece of bread and i will prayed i now lord bless this piece of bread lord i thank you for your sacrifice on the cross and  the cross think about that he cannot be sacrificed again the sacrifice one for ever for the humanity cannot be a second baptism of water  you can never celebrate before like to celebrate today with me and this program you do that as often as you men together with other people praying giving glory and honor for everything i really give god the glory for give me this opportunity does come when you're home and for those people which they've been part of this minute to take you from the bottom of my heart please help me to bring this good news this people took the communion or rather they didn't take the communion because they was not ready to take i prayed i now in the name of jesus to touch them lord from the crown of the head to the soles of their feet let everything in their mind body and so arm about a very important topic that is not always discussed that is discussed but it's a lot of times it's been misunderstood among the body of practice and we wanted to kind of clear that up especially among young people we're really of all ages but i i i started tithing and i started to learn the principle of it at a at a at a young age and it's helped me along with my marriage we are going to talk about tithing our way is that a right because the question what are you going to do with the money they do have to honor the lord or not  write that was something unusually for you to see them like claudia do well and it was it was it was something that i had heard of in the church and but i i didn't nobody had taken time to explain the meaning of it and the the the blessing that's attached to it it was just something that i had heard that and i really you know there wasn't much communication my in my house growing up so we didn't know i didn't know if my parents did it if they didn't do it if they did it sometimes it was just really not discussed it was one of those subjects that people call taboo you know it's not really something that you talk about but as as i was as i met you and as you know the family and as a mandolin i we started to spend more time together and to date and we you know all a lot of a lot of our a lot of our relationship was based on the word because i was guy was going in the ward and i was getting to know who god was and and i was getting to know who i was in the body of christ and what my role was in christ and and so i remember asking you and mom you you had come over well back then i called you john and alexandra but yeah but but now you know now it's mom and dad but i remember asking you and and saying you know i want you to explain this topic to me because i i i've never done it before and i don't i don't i really don't know what the bible says about it and and i remember you you know i know you had a lot of patience with me in the beginning i mean and you still do but i remember you you brought me to this verse rob and defraud me but you say in what way do we rob or defraud do you have withheld your tithes and offerings you are cursed with a curse for you are robbing me even this whole nation and then verse ten says bring types the whole tenth of your income into the store houses that there may be that there may be food in my house and prove me now by it says the lord of hosts if i will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour out a be there there shall not be room enough to receive it i want to stop right there i do want to keep going but i want to start right there because when i remember when i when you first showed me that verse and i remember thinking i am i really am i really robbing god you know even though i'm young i hadn't heard the principle of it yet and it it moved something in me because i knew if god was was if god was so serious about something and serious enough to say prove me now and i believe that this is the only place where we see in the bible god is actually telling telling us to prove him something to to to put him to the test in other words then then it must it must be something serious so i decided let me put this to work i i don't want to rob god and our first honestly it might have been out of fear that i was doing it because i thought well if i rob god then what does that really mean so the first part of that is that if we prove the lord says that he will see if he will not open up the windows of heaven for you that he will pour out a blessing that there shall be no room enough to receive it so first of the first blessing that is attached to it is that we will be we will have an overflow god will actually give us so much that we won't have room enough to receive it and the second is the  it i have no shame you know i have made i was almost ten thousand dollars in debt i was going out to eat for lunch i wasn't packing a lunch i was buying whatever i wanted to buy i really didn't withhold anything i didn't with withhold anything for myself i think solomon says that he just bought whatever he wanted he didn't care and so i got in debt but i you know i thought well i'll make minimum payments it'll be fine and so when it came to tithing i thought well how my you know pretty much every penny of my paycheck at that time and now i wasn't making much i was a receptionist at a an optometrist office how my how my even the take money out of my paycheck for it because every penny is going towards this credit card and that credit and you know just to survive i mean i was still living with my parents but i was responsible for my gas and all that stuff and and for my own bills so i decided well i i'm going i want to do it the bible says i have to do it and i want to be obedient so i wrote my first check and i remember just thinking well god i'm going to do this because the bible says to prove you first of all and secondly that i'm i second the i don't want to rob you that's a serious thing so i wrote my check and i remember so in my seed  and just believe in god and i not sure if it was the very first paycheck after that or the next one but it was within within that month that i received my paycheck and it was it was either said did we get a raise or something she goes no you would know believe me you would know if we got a raise and i said well there's i mean my checks are are higher i mean they're especially especially because now i was looking ok my first one was higher ok but now my second one was also higher more than what my type check was so i asked her again are we sure are are are you sure that i didn't get a raise or anything no at the hourly was still minimum wage everything was still so i decided to ask my boss and i said you actually went to him toss it yeah i did because i didn't want to have to pay it back because i was i was always a mistake right so i went and i asked him i said if you don't mind doctor would you let me know if i if i got a raise or something or maybe there was a mistake so i don't want to have to pay you back later he looked at my check you go no there's no mistake you know what it's actually looks like there's something with your taxes or something that you're actually getting back more i mean you're claiming what you should be claiming and everything looks good and are to see i have no idea why your checks are higher but you know it's not anything i did that's what he said you know about molokai he did not know did not know about th be encouraged that we're doing the right thing and even if and even if the signs are not the same or even if we don't have the same experiences i believe that in that very moment for god to show me here you're on the right track and i will take care of you i will provide for you and  i don't want to forget the second part of this because this is you are going back to first eleven says i will rebuke to devour insects and plagues for your sakes and he shall not destroy the fruits of the your ground neither shall your vine drop its fruit before the time in the field says the lord of hosts so not only does he promise that he will pour out a blessing were there we where we will not have room enough to receive it but the second part says you were beauty devoured was the devour we know was satan himself so my for me when when when we when we saw our seed of course in in good ground and we can talk about what good grounding younger when we sow our seeding good ground there a hedge of protection i believe that comes directly from from the throne of god himself because because we do it in obedience it comes over us and it protects us because satan comes to steal kill and destroy the jesus that i have come that they may have life and life more abundantly but what really struck me here is that hugh rebuked the devour got actually promised that if we are obedient to him and if we don't rob him and if we believe him and trust him that as we s our seed we he will protect us and not only just protect us but rebuke to devour and rebuke sickness and disease and everything every plague that comes near our dwelling and you know that wasn't just the only experience i had there were so many other experiences that i had with god with with tithing and i may not be able to go into all of them but i remember when there was a time in our life where we didn't have any kids we were we were young we we were we had just gotten married and we were kind of in between jobs and you know emanuel had a couple painting jobs here and there but i remember i was on my living room floor and i was weeping i was sobbing and i was looking at heaven and i was saying lord i know what the word says know that i've seen it so many times but you know that our bank account is there's nothing in it i want to give i have a desire to i don't want to stop i didn't want to break that cycle that i had with god for so long and this time in it i had it had seemed like best cycle was going to be broken i said lord if you will provide a seed for me i will sew it i will sew it i don't know how but if you provided also it and i remember just breaking down on my carpet there in the living room my husband was at work and i you know i did the prayer and i believe that god looks at the heart you know although you know we make mistakes along the way we spend money we shouldn't spen but god looks at the heart and so i started doing laundry that day and sorting out the clothes and all of a sudden i was putting on those jeans in the washer and i never do this because we don't put things in our pockets but i decided let me check the pockets and it was something that i never ever do this was something just supernatural i reached into the pocket and i said oh there's you know there's something that i thought was a tissue i pulled out and it was a fifty dollar bill i have no to this day we have no idea where it came to ask him if he would i did i asked him i called him i said you know you're not going to believe this i hope that you weren't saving this for something but look what happened look what i did i prayed and and and i found this money and he goes i have no idea where that money came from first of all you know i don't carry cash secondly if i did it would be in my wallet it wouldn't be in my paint painter's pants they were full of paint and i took that seat and i remember sewing it and i just remember saying lord if we are because i was sincere in asking and because i you knew that i didn't have a seed but you knew that if you had given me one i would have sold it you provided it for me and that is such from the blue the money came i mean from nowhere exactly and i believe it was the next day that we received a paycheck from a man as employer so we got to care of us you know it would have us got you right the way right  right and you never knew when you were going to get a paycheck you know it could have been at the end of the week it could have been another couple weeks but i often think back and and and i'm i'm sure that you know there are people who have maybe gone through this but i often think what if i had taken that and thought man are we don't we don't have any money to survive for the next week i probably need to use this money for myself i wonder i use it in the seed right and what is the seed means the se ago where i was writing out my bills like i always do and writing down the due dates and i remember the first check i write you know is my type check and i wrote it and i wrote i did all my other bills i paid all my other bills online wrote all my other checks and i looked and i thought this isn't you know this isn't good with there's not there isn't that much left over and i remember taking my tight check and kind of putting it underneath all my other bills and thinking i'm going to solely hold onto a course lord i'll sew it for you but just for now just for my security because this is a problem see in wants us to take our eyes off of the promise which is we read two promises just now and to look at the problem in the problem for me was that well i'm going to limit god because this is all the money that i have in my account so i was actually telling god well god because this is all i have and you can't do more than what i have then i'm not going to sow my seed and the the biggest mistake is is looking at the situation and that your problem instead of looking at the promised focusing our shit in our eyes away from the word and into our reality and into our bank accounts and into what you know what our savings account look like oh i had to dip into my savings account i had to dip into my car fund but with god it's  everything is possible and with god we have to look at the bigger picture it's not god is not confined to a bank account i am learning that so much especially this year and at the end of last year god is so much bigger than and then whatever we can fill in the blanks to whatever god is so much bigger than me lou getting to him to a new car or let me limiting to him two to having a new job he's so much bigger than that and if we focus on sowing our seed in good ground  and naming our seed according to our need then we will be able to and so i did that i put my i don't want to get off topic but i put my check underneath and i went to bed that night and it was bothering me but it wasn't you know but i was still looking at my situation and sort of looking at the promise of course as we often do and i had a dream that night and who was in my dream but actually you were my dream and i and i remember you were sitting down you were writing your bills exactly the same thing i was doing you were writing your bills and you were looking at it you got up and i remember you and mom were there and mom goes will let let's pray over this you know over the bills is pray over everything and and mom was asking you well what's the situation you know all the bills are paid how how's everything looking and i'll never forget and i was i don't i just always in the newsroom right i don't think in the dream i was actually a president i think i was just just seeing it from afar i was just kind of observing but i remember you you got up and you said you know what it doesn't matter it doesn't matter because i'm going to soul my seed for need towards my need i am going to sow my seed towards my need and i woke up and i thought well i don't know if there is any if there is a more clear answer than this and i went quickly and that was the day that i had received that with without expecting to actually i didn't think i was i thought far away that that was going to happen and so that was just another example of god god can come through  which manifest itself in active goodness kindness and charity through not only does he provide seed for the sower but he multiply resources our sources that i like the hurt that this that's amazing that's a great that's a that's because not only are we are of course we're giving to god but to sow it in good ground means to sow it into a place where you are being fed spiritually and there are so many people that feel like you know because of religious reasons or because of obligations or because of the way that they were brought up they have to so in this specific church or organization or or or whatever it is but i want to let our viewers know that sewing is something that god takes so seriously it's such a sacred and such a holy act and and when we take that seed and we we pray over it and we believe god and we sew it towards our need we believe all the promises but also we saw it in good ground and good ground is is the place where you are being fed spiritually whether it's your local church whether it's a ministry that you watch on television or on on you tube or on on or whichever wherever you're getting fed whatever your calling may be for prayer be it this ministry be it any other ministry you have to so it there because that is that is the good ground that is the good ground that you where your seed belongs and not only does it well god bless you but you are a blessing to those two to two that particular ministry or that particular church so it's very important to prove prayerfully prayerfully consider where you send your seed that that that's something that i was and i wasn't you know i wasn't taught i wasn't it was almost as as an obligation that will you you go you you belong you are a member in this church even though you may never even go to that church where you have to so and there but the bible doesn't talk about that you we have to so where god and the holy spirit leads us to so in that place w tithing in two different ways i look at it as if it's a way for god to bless me and protect me and also i'm simply giving god back what belongs to him that ten percent is not ours to begin with it's not it's not our money to do as we please because we know we read from the word that word says every good and perfect gifts gift comes down from the father lights and so if we believe that we believe that our paychecks or any other resources or any other funds that we have where we are blessed financially that comes from god and so god doesn't require you know fifty percent it doesn't require seventy percent did or it's not the other way around words give god ninety percent and keep the rest it's giving god his heart his part of what he gave you that that heart belongs to him and if you do that and if you faithfully so your seed in that good ground believing and staying in that malak three promise and putting your eyes on it as you and mom always teach us you you you say go over there put your finger on and put your eyes on it and read it because then it becomes real to you and then that's when your faith is activated because you're not so a seed and not believing that that you're ever going to get anything out of it and many people make this mistake or they say well i'm going to so but i don't expect anything back from god but
