The Meal That Heals

INTRODUCTION Most born again believers in Full Gospel churches believe God is able, through the prayer of faith, to heal the sick today. Yet, their belief does not seem to be impacting their situation. Too many Christians are emotionally weak and physically sick. The Apostle Paul wrote to those in the church at Corinth and told them, “For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep” (1 Corinthians 11:30). He revealed the reason for their infirmities: they did not “discern the Lord’s body” (1 Corinthians 11:29). In this book, you will learn that the Christian church has complete understanding of the work Christ did on the cross to redeem us from sin. However, it is spiritually unaware of the atoning work Christ did before He went to the cross, when He was beaten and bruised for our healing. This unfamiliarity with the full atonement is often bred by ministers who sat under the instruction of theologians who willfully preached a doctrine of unbelief as it relates to God’s power to heal today. This lack of true understanding has obscured the full revelation of Christ’s suffering. The second area of misunderstanding stems from the teaching of Communion, also known as the Lord’s Supper. Every week, Catholics celebrate Mass, in which they believe the host (bread) becomes the body of Christ and the wine in the cup becomes the literal blood of Christ. Among Protestant groups, the Lord’s Supper is received once a week, once a month, or sometimes once a year, and is considered a reminder of Christ’s suffering. The lack of spiritual revelation regarding the true intent of the Lord’s Supper has weakened the church. This book will reveal what I believe is a very important revelation for the body of Christ. Some of the information in this book will contradict the teachings of some theologians and may even be contrary to the traditions of certain denominations. Those people who believe physical healing was a limited spiritual gift that operated only in the first century will not be receptive to the information in this book. But I am not interested in convincing a theologian, or receiving applause from a denomination, or debating those folks whose unbelief is founded upon tradition and not upon truth.
