How to Take Communion at Home

How to Take Communion at Home with Prayer and Declaration for After You Take Communion | by Jamie Rohrbaugh | FromHisPresence.com

 

I received a ton of questions recently after I released a prophetic word saying that You’ve Been Fighting Witchcraft and You Didn’t Even Know It. The questions were about 1) avoiding witchcraft, and 2) taking communion.

In this blog post, I’m going to attempt to answer questions I received about communion. I’ll discuss avoiding witchcraft later.

    Here were some of the questions I received about the Lord’s Supper/communion:

    1) Can you take communion at home?

    Answer: YES!

    Some folks may not realize that you don’t have to wait for a priest or a pastor to administer communion to you. It’s true; you don’t. You can take the Lord’s Supper either way–at home with the Lord, or at your church.

    Taking communion (also called the Lord’s Supper or the Eucharist) together with your local church body is a big blessing. It’s a powerful time with the Lord. However, Jesus said “as often as you do this” when He administered the first Lord’s Supper. That’s important: “often.” Jesus was encouraging us to remember Him often, and He prescribed the Lord’s Supper as one of the ways to do that.

    That’s why I encourage people who are right with God to go ahead and take communion at home, just between you and God. You don’t have to have a group, an audience, a priest, or a pastor. You can remember Jesus in this special way that He prescribed, at home.

    2) How do you take communion at home?

    Well, first, you have to get your heart right. Taking communion at home or anywhere else can kill you if your heart isn’t right. That’s what Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 11:27-34 when he said:

    “Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

    For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.

    For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

    Therefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I will set in order when I come” (1 Corinthians 11:27-34).

    In this passage, Paul wrote to people whose hearts were wrong when they took communion.

    They were coming together to the Lord’s Supper when they were hungry, so they were eating the bread and cup like a buffet. They were eating of these sacred elements to satisfy their own hunger, not as a sacred remembrance of the Lord.

    Therefore, Paul rebuked them. He also told them that their inattention to the sacredness of this ceremony was actually killing some of them. He urged them:

    • to examine themselves before ever putting the bread and cup to their lips;
    • to act soberly and with decorum, not coming together like a herd of hungry sheep, each vying to get to the bread first; and
    • to be sure they had already eaten before they took the sacred elements, so they weren’t doing so to satiate their hunger.

    I can understand why there would be consequences for treating the body and blood of the Lord like a pizza buffet; can’t you? That’s why the first step to taking communion at home–or taking communion anywhere–is to examine ourselves.

    How do you examine yourself before taking communion?

    Holy Spirit will lead you. I can only share what I do. When I sit down to take the Lord’s Supper, I follow this general sequence of events:

    • I stop and pray first.
    • I ask the Lord to reveal to me if I have any unrepented-of sin; any unconfessed sin.
    • If I do, then I repent of it and confess it right away.
    • I also ask the Lord to cover me with His blood and fill me anew and afresh with His Spirit.
    • Then, I focus my mind on Jesus.
    • I imagine Him hanging on the cross; I remember the blood He poured out for me.
    • I look at Him and thank Him for dying for me.
    • I thank Him for forgiving my sins.
    • And I give my life to Him all over again.

    Then, thanking Him for His sacrifice that saved me from death and gave me eternal life with Him, I eat the bread/wafer and drink the grape juice (representing His body and blood).

    No matter how you do so, ask Holy Spirit to help you get right with God before you take communion at home or anywhere else.

    After that, though, you take the elements. 

    What communion elements should you use? And, where do you get communion elements?

    That part is easy! One option: Stop at the grocery store today and get some unleavened bread/crackers and some grape juice. I like to buy the unseasoned Triscuits, because they are striped and pierced, as many kinds of communion bread are. I also purchase the plain grape juice without additional fruit flavorings. 

    How to Take Communion at Home with Prayer and Declaration for After You Take Communion | by Jamie Rohrbaugh | FromHisPresence.comOr, you can purchase pre-packaged communion elements like the ones pictured above. I like to use those as well, if I have them handy. I have purchased (and definitely recommend) the pre-filled communion elements from Celebration Cup (affiliate link; click the photo above for more info). They are easy, clean, and create no dirty dishes. 🙂 Plus, you can easily transport them in your purse or bag anywhere you go. (And I do carry them with me.)

    Then, together with whatever else Holy Spirit shows you to do:

    • Focus on Jesus.
    • Thank Him for His body, broken for you, and for His blood, shed for you.
    • Make sure there is no unconfessed sin or un-repented-of sin in your heart.
    • Then take one piece of bread or cracker and eat it.
    • After that, take a sip of grape juice.
    • Thank Jesus for His sacrifice; for forgiving your sins; for saving you; and for everything else you can think of while you do.

    Communion is not a meal that is supposed to fill you up physically.

    Remember that point from the passage above in 1 Corinthians 11. Don’t pig out on communion, even if you really like Triscuits. 🙂 The apostle Paul was very clear about this. Communion is a sacred time with the Lord, not a main course, okay?

    Next: When you take communion, pray and speak out loud something like this:

    “In the name of Jesus, I apply the blood and body of Jesus Christ to my life, the lives of my family, our safety, our finances, our ministry, our work, and everything that pertains to us. With the blood of Jesus, and in the name of Jesus, I break every curse, hex, witchcraft, and enemy assignment against me or my family. Every evil thing falls to the ground right now, broken and of no effect, in the name of Jesus.

    And in the name of Jesus, I loose God’s holy protection over me, my family and loved ones, and everything that pertains to us. I decree that my family and I and everything that pertains to us are hidden in the secret place of the Most High, for we dwell under the shadow of God’s wings. I ask You, Holy Spirit, to cover me and my family and everything that pertains to us. Keep us safe and protect us. Bless us hugely.

    Lord Jesus, I loose Your holy flow, Your healing, resurrection life, joy, peace, righteousness, power, and Your perfect shalom–nothing missing, nothing broken–into my life and into the lives of all my family. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

    That is what I speak out, or some variation thereof. It is powerful, and it makes a difference!

    Finally: How often can you take communion?

    Answer: Often! Every day if you want to–and I actually encourage you to partake of the Lord’s Supper every day!

    I’m trying to take communion every day, for the Lord has been whispering to me about a 40-day communion challenge. When I started doing this, the Lord made it abundantly clear that the spiritual warfare I was fighting was from someone who had loosed witchcraft against this ministry. BUT, taking communion broke that enemy assignment instantly.

    The enemy simply has no power against the blood of Jesus.

    The Lord’s supper is a POWERFUL meal.

    It is a meal that can be taken inside the church or at home between you and God. But no matter where you take communion, be sure your heart is right. Reflect on Jesus and what He did for you. Thank Him and praise Him–and apply His blood to your life in practical situations in prayer!

    Are you in the habit of taking communion at home regularly? If not, do you plan to start this habit? Please leave a comment below and tell me what the Lord is speaking to you!

        Jamie, my husband and i take holy communion together at home daily. But if i wanted to take communion more than once a day and I’m by myself, is that okay? Or does someone else always have to be present?

        1. You can take communion all by yourself, Jeanette! Just you and the Lord. 🙂 Absolutely!

Thanks Maria Gomez

        1. Dear Maria. I will pray for you. I am taking a risk even suggesting this but please go to the website https://www.mycancerstory.rocks/ and read every word on it, and see if there is anything there the Lord speaks to you about. There is a huge amount of conversation about that website on Twitter that I have been reading, and story after story of hope.
          I will pray for your divine healing on this side of Heaven.
          Love in Jesus,
          Jamie

          1. Jeanette Fox says:

            Maria, you might want to check out Andrew Womack Ministries online. There are many stories of miraculous healing testimonies there. Most are free to watch. Remember, Jesus went to the cross for Salvation And Our healing. You cannot separate the 2. Also, I reccomend a book called Gods Creatice Power for healing by Charles Capps. You can get it online for about 1.50. I am a living testimony of the power of Gods word and healing. Also, Sid roth, Supernatural( in Gods kingdom) is another good resource). You need to understand God does not put sickness on you, that comes from the enemy. As Christian’s we have been given authority over all the power of the enemy. I hope you check out these resources, and make sure you are attending a church that is holy spirit filled and believes healing is for today. God bless you and your family.

          2. Jeanette Fox says:

            Maria, the book is called Gods creative power for healing. Sorry about the mispelling.

    3. Bless you Jamie for this powerful message. Your ministry is established by God and so no power has authority over it in the name of Jesus.

    4. Brenda Payton says:

      Few years ago I read Perry Stone’s Book on Communion and taking it daily. I started doing it and I felt God’s power moving in my life. Not sure why, but I hadn’t done it at home for quite some time. Then I read your article today and feel like God is asking me to draw near to Him again and take communion daily for strength and encouragement to persevere on the path and destiny He is moving me to. Thank you so much for sharing this!!!

      God Bless
      Brenda

      1. Absolutely, Brenda! I’m so glad the Lord is renewing your fire for celebrating His body and blood! I am seeing miracles in my life as a result of this sacred meal too. They are just going to continue for all of us–for Jesus purchased every victory with His body and blood! Hallelujah!

    5. Jamie,
      This message was extremely encouraging to me. You are a true gift to the body of Christ. Thank you for sharing this anointed teaching about communion.

      Blessings,
      Roberta A.

      1. Thank you so much, Roberta. I’m thrilled that Papa God blessed you. All glory to His name! Thank you for reading!

    6. lisa Mickey says:

      Excellent .. thank you.. I am sharing this 🙂
      Hubby does communion to shut-ins after our service each Sunday.. they all look forward to him coming & praying with them .
      we had a pastor at our church who said not to correct newbies who gave communion to their children, some a yr old. that always made me mad, now I know why. Paul explained it , you must examine yourself . how does a 1 yr old examine himself ! ? cheapened it all . disrespectful to say the least .
      again. thank you.

    7. rhonda williams says:

      Thank you, as I have found all your information very helpful. I plan on taking communion in the morning and want to do so on a daily basis. I appreciate all that you have shared.

    9. Shailaja Abraham. says:

I didn’t know why God has put this idea into my mind.After reading your email message I think God is showing me the way in which I have to go.Thank you pastor for your prayers and support.God bless you and your ministry.

    10. Dear Pastor Jamie

I find your article to be a revelation for I have been pondering on taking holy communion at home and by myself not knowing how I will do it .I have been seeking an answer and now through you I am answered.
      May you increase in your ministry and I pray for more blessings to you.

      Thank you very much !

      Shalom!

      Hello,
      I’ve been taking Communion every day several times a day for many years. I especially have been taking it over my sons for their deliverance from drugs. I take it over all my children and grandchildren. I very much liked your after-Communion prayer. May God Bless you richly,
      Jo Anna

    13. Michelle Cheek says:

    14. Georgekutty P.A says:

      This is a new new experience for me taking home the communion. I am praying to start taking the communion.Thank you Jamie for this teaching and prayer.

    15. I have never taken a communion at home, what times are perfect to take it?

    16. Thanks for this teaching, I did communion for myself today. Now I know I can do it when ever I want to ! Thank God for this ministry.

    17. Thank you for your article. I took communion yesterday by myself for the second time and again today. I am fasting but the group I am fasting with (spirituallyunmatched marriage.com)suggested you take communion daily during their January 5 day fast. Thank you for pointing out we should ask God if there’s any repenting to be done and the written prayer praying for the blood of Jesus to protect affect not only ourselves but our families. Thank you – Nicky from the UK 🥰

    18. Wilma Bjorklund says:

      Jamie, thank you so much for confirming our use of communion. My question is, would it be proper to send the implements to my sister who is 73 and a good friend who is 62 and take communion over the phone? I am 80 and feel so handicapped in my usefulness to and for God. Thank you for your help, encouragement and prayers. Love-in-Christ.

      1. Hi Wilma, absolutely! This would be great! At 80 years young, you are still VERY useful to the Lord; please ask Him what your ministry is for this season of life if you haven’t already, for He has LOTS of things for you to do! The BEST is YET TO COME; your latter days shall be greater than your former days. I decree it over you in the name of Jesus!

    19. Bathandwa says:

      I’ve been going through a hard time and the Lord has told me to start taking communion quite often and your article has been very helpful, thank you.

    20. I take communion at home for many years now. Thanks for this post. I skip days as i take. Now i know i can take daily and anytime. I even gave my baby a little portion at this time of the coronavirus two days ago. I felt like sharing with him. I spoke to him and held him tight in my arms as he ate. I should take it often now.
      Infact a 40days challenge is what i need. Thanks a lot for Sharing. God bless you!God bless your ministry!

    21. “I apply”/“I break”/“I loose” – just something I noticed and wanted to ask you about. Would our prayer be of heartily and humble improvement in our Lord’s eyes if instead of taking authority over the action of these things, that we humbly ask if HE can apply, break, loose every chain in the name of Jesus? Since only through Him we have any power at all?

      1. Not if you want to obey God and walk in the authority He commanded us to walk in. God told us in the Bible to bind and loose things and to declare and decree. Thanks for reading.

    22. Jearlene Dixon says:

      Thank you Pastor Jamie I had already taken communion this morning and I run across your email what a blessings thank you for sharing you are such a blessings and I Thank God all you do . God Bless You and your family !

    23. Annanson John says:

      This teachings are a huge breakthrough and deliverance for me from these shrouded and scary teachings about the taken of the communion of God. I am SET FREE from scary intimidation!!

    24. DeBorah Byrd says:

      Thank you for re-posting this article. I have been taking HOLY COMMUNION every day and believe me. There have been positive changes not only in myself but in my life. The Lord lead me to read a book by Pastor Joseph Prince, which I encourage people to read, it will enlighten and change what people were taught concerning Holy Communion.”EAT YOUR WAY TO LIFE AND HEALTH”.

    25. Jeanette K. Stephens says:

      Thank you for posting this article. My sister and I have talked about taking communion at home. This is an excellent article and will guide us in our plans.

    26. joseph d schiavone says:

      Hi Jamie, Love this lesson !!! I used to do this way more often. I would sometimes just go to a friends house,bringing the elements with me, and invite them to partake. I agree you you wholeheartedly that we should be doing this more often. Especially at home with our families !!! Love that. Yes, there is power in the blood of Jesus ! Amen1
      Also love the 40 day challenge, I think I am going to try to incorporate this into the Mens Fellowship ! Thanks for the reminder. May the Lord our God bless and equip you with all that you need to carry on His work Jamie.

    27. Elizabeth Tuinidau says:

      praise the Lord for this great message. It was i relly need it at this time..Thank you so much Jamie.

    28. Thank you Jamie for this teaching. I want to take communion at home, since our church is closed for now, but I don’t have grape juice or juice of any kind. And since we all limit our shopping these days I was wondering if water or some other beverage is acceptable. I mostly just drink water. And would any cracker be ok. Thank you again.

      1. Hi Valerie, I don’t really know the answer to that. My pastors always say you can use whatever you have, and I find their witness is faithful–but I haven’t prayed about it or researched it personally, so I would just recommend that you pray about it and do whatever the Lord gives you peace about!
        Blessings,
        Jamie

        1. Thank you for your honest response. And I have since seen teaching on this and you can use what you have. May all be blessed through the blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

      2. Chrishauna J. says:

        Thank you Jamie! Your lesson was confirmation that I needed to incorporate this in my life. Thank you for your obedience. I am grateful for your ministry.

    29. Prisca Simango Mwansa says:

      Hi Jamie, I thank God I came across your post today on Resurrection Sunday when the World is going through the covid -19 pandemic when we have to take Communion from home and celebrate the Lords Supper. Thank you so much for your article I have learnt a lot, I will be taking the Lords Supper at home often now.
      I also have like you on Facebook book to continue learning more from you. Be blessed more Jamie.

    30. The most powerful communion I’ve ever experienced was with grapes and pretzels…. because that’s all we had. A group of us were traveling in a van, coming home from a Christian conference, when I became suddenly very ill. One of the ladies suggested we all take communion with the only things we had with us that somewhat resembled the elements. Within 5 minutes of taking grape & pretzel communion, I was totally fine. Our hearts knew what the elements represented, and so did Jesus.

    31. Leinida ambalu says:

      I thank God who sent you into my life. I have Leary quite a lot from you. God enrich you with his wisdom.
      I never knew Holy Communion can be taken on a daily basis.
      May God continue ministering to me through you his servant for I long to serve him with all my heart, mind and soul.
      This had blessed my soul. As I learn that God’s blessings , healing can be released as I practice taking holy Communion at home.🙏🙏🙏.

    32. Bless you Jamie for bringing this topic up again. Taking Communion/Lord’s Supper at home is really a remedy to most of not all, negative situations in our lifes. I have been taking it twice a day and I can attest it to the glory of God that I can see changes in my health as well as my thinking about certain things. May Jesus name be praised. Amen 🙌🙌

    33. Ugar Ugar says:

      This is so on point. Thank you Lord. I had a dream where I told someone I took communion every day. I had started but missed out on some days and had just resumed and you mail come in right in time as usual.

      Am blessed by your teaching.

    38. Gloria Chimezie says:

      I was talking with a Catholic and he told me one of the powerful things they do that has kept them strong is take communion everyday.
      That discussion made me reflect on if I could take communion by myself and I searched online and found this article.
      This article is indeed a blessing and I agree that the body and blood of Jesus Christ can break any satanic hold on our lives.
      Reading through the comments, I am also reassured, seeing that people are getting healing and progress is just evidence of the power of communion.
      Thanks Jamie. May God keep revealing himself to you.

    39. Informative and Encouraging
      Thank you Jamie

    42. Nordia Mckenzie says:

      I used to take communion daily several years ago and stopped as I had practically walked away from the church, it’s like something was sitting on me and I couldn’t pray, read my bible or attend church it was like a spiritual death, earlier this year I started fighting that demon as I missed my fellowship with God, I really started seeking God and delving into his word, about 3 months ago I was lead by the Holy Spirit to start taking my communion back on a daily basis but what I do because I am a nurse and work a lot of night shifts, I started taking it at midnight, when I am on shift I walk with it in my bag and pray at midnight then take my communion, if I am at home and fall asleep I take it whenever I wake up in the night. I was researching about taking the communion on a daily basis and say your prayer and have been using that as well after I finish taking my communion. Thank you for this word.

    43. Started daily communion today. Going to attempt from now till Christmas each day. Thank you for the prayer. It is helpful to decree such powerful intension while taking communion. I don’t know what to anticipate for undertaking this daily communion yet I think/feel it will open kingdom of God doors. I’ll report again any outcomes He supplies.

      1. GABRIEL MENSAH says:

        HI I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS AND I WILL START THIS WITH MY WIFE AND SON AT HOME. IT CAME TO ME TODAY TO JUST DO IT

    44. I usually single out a month to take communion at home. Next time I am going to use the structure given here. Blessings.

    45. What a powerful lesson this was to me. May God bless you and increase you Jamie! Your ministry is such a huge blessing to me.

      I had a dinner date tonight – An Old Friend, my Lord God. His Son had invited me, and I was looking forward to the wonderful occasion. God welcomed me with His open arms, and we began to discuss His wonderful Son. We talked about His birth, His blessed life, and His horrible execution – totally undeserved. And, we talked about love. Agape love. The love that Jesus had for each and every one of us. Jesus made the conscious decision to die for ME. Jesus had to do this for everyone, and God said that Jesus agonized over His decision. But, before He died, Jesus had a Last Supper with His loved ones. He told them the wine they drank represented His Blood to be shed for us all. The bread he broke and shared represented the body He lived in, about to be tortured and broken for us, too. My heart was broken! How could any other human being do that to Jesus – the epitome of Love? Then God said, “We had to do it for YOU. We wanted you to have eternal life, and without His sacrifice , it just couldn’t happen. ” “But,” I protested, “no matter how much I want to be with You eternally, I NEVER wanted harm to come to Jesus!” God assured me that all that nasty business in the Garden of Eden by Adam and Eve meant that we were all sinners forevermore. Sin simply cannot enter Heaven. So, God would forever be alone there, and we would be condemned to an unthinkable option without the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus. I told Father God that I was sorry for my sins. I never intended to hurt Him or Jesus! He wrapped His wings of Love around me, and told me I was forgiven – forever – and to sin no more. But, if I should slip and fall again, He would be there to catch me. “I really want you with Me,” He said. “You are my child, and I love you very much! Jesus and I, well, We will never leave you not forsake you, so vast is Our love.” We finished our bread, representing the broken body of Christ, and our wine, representing His precious Blood. I thanked God for a wonderful evening. I promised God my eternal love, and He promised me His. I thanked Him for the miraculous Gift of His precious Son. He said to me, “We have to do this more often!” He hugged me tightly and simply said, ” Be still, my child, and know that I am God. I will always love you. we will always do this in remembrance of Him. “

    47. Thanks for sharing this article!

    48. The Lord has pressed upon me several times recently to start taking communion at home while I continue to heal from a chronic illness. I am seeking a new church home but have physically been unable to attend for over 8 months. I Googled at-home communion, and there you were! Thank you for this guidance, it is super helpful, and I will be starting daily communion at home, after I pick up my Triscuits and grape juice from the store tomorrow! Praying for your ministry and that it reaches others like it has me! 😀

      Thank you for this insight. I have begun home communion but didn’t want to do anything offensive in such an important aspect of my time with Jesus.

      Now I am more confident and look forward to continuing. May you be blessed as you bless others. In Jesus name.

      Hi Jamie. Thank you so much for this. The prayer that you shared is a blessing. It helps a lot especially when my mind goes blank. I dont know about the others, but is it okay for children to take communion? My twins are going to be 9 and I’m trying to keep them in the path of the Lord. And the 7 days of prayer for our children is awesome. It’s helped me especially when they’re away from me and at their dad’s house. Thank you so much for all you do. I am truly blessed for all the wonderful things you do to help us. May the Lord bless you, and may His beautiful face shine upon you. Love you and thank you again.

    51. Thankyou Jamie this is really helpful I never knew i could take communion at home I will follow this through and let God do the rest

    52. I lost my only brother, my mother and then my beloved husband of 46 years. While many become angry when they lose a loved one, I thank my Lord Jesus Christ every night for my earthly parents, my brother, and my beloved husband. They were blessings from God who has given me a blessed and beautiful life on earth, and I give thanks to my heavenly Father. I study my Bible and pray daily and have decided to add communion to this process to praise and glorify my Lord who has given me all things!
      In this tumultuous time where things are not following God’s word nor his plan and evil lurks at every turn, I have no fear as I know the Holy Spirit is my gift from God and allows me to communicate with him. I do attend a church, however, consider myself non-denominational as I don’t feel doctrines are God given — and prefer to pray and repent through the Lord and his Commandments.
      I listen to Bible studies online as I can’t take a passage in and of itself without knowing God’s intention in His Word. He is the potter and I am the clay so I look to him daily to mold me and protect me.
      He is still blessing me in so many ways and all the praise and glory is for my Lord and Savior and the sacrifice of his Son who rose again to sit at the right hand of his father for our pain and suffering.
      God bless us all. May we stand united in love through these times!

      This Sunday morning I wrote down on a beautiful note card the PRAYER AND DECLARATION FOR AFTER YOU TAKE COMMUNION. I dated it July 24, 2022, and I shall take the 40-day challenge starting today. I read most of the comments from many others, and I like the one that we might want to take the challenge from now until Christmas Day. That is another lovely thought! I expect to have a testimony in my life, Pastor Jamie. In Jesus’ name, amen and amen.

    54. This is so wonderful Jamie, I so needed it, I have not taken communion in ages for lack of access to a church, also the one i sometimes go to offers only once/month so I embrace this with all my heart. I may get the communion elements and i will share on my general and my ministry page.

      GOD BLESS YOU SISTER AND THANK YOU!!!

    55. Kathy Buck says:

      I’m going to start taking communion at home. I haven’t taken it for a long time, because the ministry I was in, hardly did this. Also, I didn’t know I could buy certain crackers to use. Thanks for that idea Jamie.
      I’m going to use what you use when you take communion. . God reprimanded me recently. I was recently told by God, that I need to stop playing games with Him and just do what He’s been saying. So, I started last night. Nit really sure how to start, but I’m doing the best I can. Please keep me in your prayers, that I can just SIT, and wait on God. Thanks Jamie.

      1. My husband and I take Communion often. We always remember what Jesus did for us and for everyone. Thanks Jaime.

    56. Thank you so much Jamie.
      I know very well it was God who directed me here. Thank you Father

    57. Dear Jamie,
      You have been a huge part of my Christian walk and you have blessed me more times than I can recount,with your spot on prophecies and messages..God bless you..
      I haven’t been able to sow into the ministry and water it as it has watered me because I have no way of sending my seed from here..please kindly furnish me with details as to how I can give from Nigeria..thank you

      In the church I grew up in, there was communion every Sunday. My family would take me to church when I was young, and that was the extent of it. It was not a praying family. So after I got out on my own, I was sort of an orphan when it came to belonging to a church, and I was on my own in that department. I’ve visited almost ever denomination available, and I never felt like I belonged. But a few years ago, I felt God telling me that he wanted me to be a prayer warrior. Well, I was on fire for awhile, praying all the time, but it just went away. But now I hope God will forgive me and allow me to be a prayer warrior again, but I can only do it with Jesus helping me and the Holy Spirit teaching me. One thing that I have rarely had an occasion in church to do since I was a child was to take communion. I was thrilled when I found your website, and you said it was fine to take communion at home, even everyday if I wanted. Since the picture : “The War Room”, and after my husband passed away and I retired, I have turned a spare room into a War Room to read my Bible, talk to God, learn from the Holy Spirit and Jesus, and to pray like a warrior. At age 73, I might not be able to get out every Sunday, but as long as God gives me strength and my independence, I have made up my mind to wear that prayer room out. I am so happy to find out that I can take communion every day if I want. I have also ordered this past week a Bible stand, communion cups and communion wafers. But after these wafers are gone, I might go with oyster crackers. I bought kosher wine for the one ounce communion cups, put the wine in ice cube trays, and froze it. I’m thinking that maybe one ice cube worth of wine will equal an ounce. I know that Jesus would not protest, since His first miracle was changing water into wine at a wedding in Cana. But I wanted to thank you so much for expressing that it is perfectly fine to have communion at home. I want to see miracles. I’m gonna pray and have communion every day. And read my Bible. Thank you again!

      Hi Jamie, This morning I felt to take communion and did so. Now your article about it is confirmation and such a blessing. Thank You, my Sister.

    60. I take communion every day until Lord Jesus comes, or until I join him in Glory
