I decided to copy it and get people's thought on it. Some churches frown against taking communion at home while others don't. What are your views? Blessings Mandy Healing Through Communion by Linda Josef Although the Lord has many ways of healing, surely one of the most precious comes from observance of Communion. Through Communion, people have been healed of cancer, diabetes, Epstein-Barr virus, and more. Recently, Sid Roth interviewed Dr. John Miller, a chiropractor who has studied the power of Communion to heal for more than 20 years.

THat is suppose to be for people who are saved. If they are saved, I am sure with faith they can be healed when asking the lord. THe lord does the healing amen!

Evening Brandi thanks for your response!. Im sure whoever wrote this article was talking about those who are already saved. Just mentioning that we who are christian can take communion at home in our personal lives as a part of our daily walk with christ. To me, it seems to make my walk more personal.. taking communion daily during my quiet and study time makes me think on his sacrafice. Any more comments??

I find it distasteful that people would come to communion to share His grace and promise for some sort of personal gain. In fact Christ calls us to suffer for His sake. Our faith is not some sort of deal we make with Jesus to heal us or to help us in this world. If it were heathens like Bill Gates or Donald Trump would be the greatest Christians.

I agree with Smalcald. I'm certainly not anti-communion but it seems as if it's simply being treated as the latest "thing" such water from the Jordan River, prayer cloths anointed by some big-name minister, etc. We should be taking communion because Jesus said to do it in remembrance of Him, not for some purported health benefits.

The Lord wants us to understand why He died for us. I do not think it is so much that we are partaking just for selfish personal gain but simply that we WILL personally gain as we consider the exchange that He made for us. I really appreciate you sharing the article. I love anything that lifts up the cross of Christ and takes us into the purpose of his death. He died that we might live. Taking communion in this way helps us to realize that exchange. And yes. Certainly we can take communion privately just as we can pray and read the Bible privately. It is all made beneficial and lively by the power of the Holy Spirit through faith. Praise his Lovely Name. He has given us so many avenues to receive his blessing.
