Welcome back to CVFC Book Club!  
      My apologies for the lack of blogs, life happened while I wasn't paying attention and all of a sudden it's been a month.
      This month's book is "Health and Wholeness Through the Holy Communion"  by Joseph Prince
      I chose this book because I think there is a misconception about Communion.  CVFC has communion the first Sunday of every month at 9am and I'm surprised by how few people show up to break bread with the Lord.  This book explains how the blood is for our forgiveness and the bread is for our healing.  In Psalms 23 verse 5 Davis tells us   "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over."  The prepared the communion table for us, He said "Do this in remembrance of me."  So my goal with this book is to see more of our church members on the first Sunday partake in the very special event of communion and enjoy it's benefits of healing and wholeness.
       In the introduction of the book, Joseph Prince tells us that Holy Communion is NOT about God's judgement and we do NOT need to confess all our sins, we do NOT need to be water baptised and we do Not have to go through some sort of class to partake.  The Holy Communion is NOT a ritual to be observed but a BLESSING to be received.  It is the greatest expression of His love.  The love that made Him endure the stripes on His back so you could be healed.  Receiving Communion is an exchange of His wholeness for you sickness and disease.  And when you drink, you are reminded that the spilling of His blood was not just forgiveness but it made you forever righteous, holy and blameless.
      Health ie the greatest blessing we can have while still on this earth, without it, there is no way to enjoy the blessings of God.  When Jesus walked on earth most of His miracles were healings.  Acts 10:38 " How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him."  
      Well I hope this gives you a little insight as to why we should look forward to Communion.  
      Until next time,
