6 WHY WE TAKE COMMUNION MATTHEW 26:26 28 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, Take, eat; this is My body. Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. JOHN 6:51 56 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world. The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, How can this Man give us His flesh to eat? Then Jesus said to them, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I CORINTHIANS 11:27 34 NIV DON T TAKE COMMUNION UNWORTHILY. 27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. 30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. 31 But if we were more discerning with regard to ourselves, we would not come under such judgment. 32 Nevertheless, when we are judged in this way by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be finally condemned with the world. 33 So then, my brothers and sisters, when you gather to eat, you should all eat together. 34 Anyone who is hungry should eat something at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment. And when I come I will give further directions.

7 WE ARE THE PREEMINENT CHURCH FOR THE TEACHING OF TRUE WORSHIP. The truest expression of a people is in its dance. Bodies never lie. Agnes de Mille If you do not concentrate you cannot express your love for God through dance. Let your feet feel the ground beneath you. from Life of Pi Why Keeping It Real? It seems that everywhere we turn nowadays people are talking about keeping it real, on radio, television, movies, in the streets. I thought you might be interested in why I incorporated the phrase. In early 2000, as I was listening to our Bible Study radio broadcast on what was then KWAM 990AM, the LORD spoke clearly into my spirit. For reasons I did not understand at the time, I had been experiencing a spiritual heaviness concerning my ministry. During that broadcast, He spoke and told me to host a Keeping It Real Conference as a gift to anyone who wanted to attend. He told me to share with you how I do what I do, and why I do what I do in this teaching ministry. I obeyed His voice. Little did I know that Satan would soon launch an all-out frontal attack on my family, my ministry, and me. Most of you know the story by now. We did not lose. We ONE! (Get it?) Suffice it to say that if the devil thought I was going to quit he s got another thought coming! Is there anyone else who is determined to KEEP IT REAL? Psalm 111:7 The works of His hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. 1 Timothy 2:7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not); a teacher of the Gentiles (nations) in faith and verity. VERITY: the quality or condition of being REAL. REAL: (1) not imaginary; (2) genuine and authentic; (3) being no less than what is stated; (4) free of pretense or falsehood. (From Pastor Whalum s book, Fasting: It s Not For Everybody, But It Might Be For You)
