Read Hebrews 9:22 from your Bible
The Blood of Jesus is the means by which man’s sins are remitted or blotted out. Since sin is a root cause of anxiety, the Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses you of sin when applied. There are two ways by which the Blood can be applied – through the Communion Table and the Blood of sprinkling.
The Communion Table
This is the same thing as the Lord’s supper. It is the eating and drinking of the Body and the Blood of Jesus Christ on a regular basis. The more we partake of His flesh and Blood, the more we are enabled to live by Him and like Him.
What is His flesh and His Blood?
Read Matthew 26:26-28 from your Bible
What was in the cup? In verse 29 Jesus said:
“I will not drink henceforth of this FRUIT of the VINE, until that day.”
When you take communion, it is not bread and drink anymore, but Jesus’ FLESH (BODY) and BLOOD.
Concerning the communion, the Lord said: “…this do in remembrance of me.” Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:26 said: “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.”
In other words, what the Lord’s death delivered to you can now be made manifest for men to see in your life, even as you partake of the Communion Table as often as possible.
Since the Communion Table is also an avenue through which the life of Christ is transmitted, it follows, therefore, that if you want to live a restful life, partaking of Christ’s restful nature, then partake more often of His table, for, except ye eat the flesh of the son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you (John 6:53).
The communion table was instituted to inject the life of Christ into believers, and to free them from all forms of anxiety. In the natural, some diseases are hereditary because a child shares the same blood group with a parent.
The same is true in the realm of the spirit. As you surrender your life to Jesus, you become His, and as you partake of His Body and Blood, there is, as it were a blood transfusion. The qualities He exhibited, you also will begin to exhibit. It is not your fault, it is because the same blood runs in your veins!
As you partake of the Communion Table, you eat His Flesh and drink His Blood and Jesus comes to dwell inside you; and because He never experienced anxiety, the same will be your portion.
Read John 6:57 from your Bible
Because Jesus lived an anxiety-free life, when you partake of the communion, you also become free from anxiety. Take the communion in church and you can also prepare it yourself at home. Bless it and take it as Jesus’ Flesh and Blood. I am sure you will now begin to understand the secret of Paul’s victory in Christ.
Read Galatians 2:20 from your Bible.
Jesus surrendered His Body and even His soul (Isaiah 53:5), so that worry will have no dominion over you any longer. Receive that prize and lay hold on a worry-free life.
In the next write-up, I will discuss overcoming anxiety by blood of sprinkling.
shalom!
