Communion in the Courts of Heaven


Daniel 7:9-10, I watched till Thrones were put in place and the Ancient of Days was seated. His Garment was white as snow and the hair of his head was like pure wool, His throne was a fiery flame, its wheel a burning fire, a fiery stream issued and came forth from before him, a thousand thousands ministered to Him, ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. Note these terms “the court was seated” and “the books were opened”. Daniel sees into the unseen realm, and sees a functioning court. Further in Daniel 7:26 it says how when the court is seated, the outcome of the judicial undertaking was that it took away the dominion of the satanic powers that operate against the people of God.

Revelation 19:11 says, Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. Notice how Jesus judges first, then makes war. 

Zechariah 3, Job 2, and Revelation 12, are some of the scriptures that indicate to us that Satan accuses us day and night in the presence of God. He uses our sinful nature, and the curses that have come through our bloodline as far back as the fourth generation to accuse us before God.

But, as Jesus demonstrates, we are to first judge those accusations against us, then make war against the kingdom of darkness.

Jesus is declaring that together, Him and us, will judge anything that would stand against His purposes for us. Then we can step into our position as co-heirs and render decrees and war against the kingdom of darkness which assails against us.

Colossians 2:14 tells us, “…God made you alive together with Christ, having [freely] forgiven us all our sins, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of legal demands [which were in force] against us and which were hostile to us. And this certificate He has set aside and completely removed by nailing it to the cross.” So even though the enemy accuses us day and night before God, he does so illegally. The sins of my sinful nature are forgiven and I am washed clean by the blood of Jesus. The curses that come through my bloodline as far back as the fourth generation, that certificate of debt, those certified legal demands, that class action against God’s people, WERE nailed to the cross.

Opening Prayer

Father, we come before You as God, the Judge of All. Thank You that You are the Ancient of Days. We honor, worship, and adore You from this place. Would You allow us to present testimony and evidence that will cause decisions to be rendered and breakthroughs to come. Grant us grace that we might stand before You in the favor that has been given to us by the blood of Your Son Jesus.

As we stand before the courts of heaven, Lord Jesus, we petition You on the basis of what is written in our books. May we be found worthy to see the book open and to discern prophetically what is written about us. We request before You that Your divine purpose be fulfilled concerning us. 

We come into agreement with the blood of sprinkling that is speaking better things than that of Abel. His blood cried for judgment. Your blood is speaking for forgiveness, redemption, and redeeming of futures. Lord, we repent for sinning against You, and we now come into the light as You are in the light. Let every voice claiming a right against us now be silenced in Jesus’ Name. May every legal complaint against us from the adversary be revoked, silenced, and annulled right now, in Your mighty name.

May we see the fulfillment of all that is written in our books become a reality. We ask that Your blood would speak for us and we would be qualified not only to perceive what is in the books but to see it come to pass.

Thank You, Lord, that You are the Mediator of the New Covenant. Thank You that all You have done and are doing is granting us the legal right to possess all that You died for. 

We agree with Your testimony and intercession for us through the power of the Holy Spirit. As we commit this time together to partake of communion and remember You, Jesus, may we set evidence before the Just Judge of the universe to see all You were sacrificed for, be realized in our lives. Amen!

Communion.

1 Corinthians 10:16 reads: The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

This passage in Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, reminds us that there is a blessing attached to partaking of communion. Communion is not a ritual to be observed, but a blessing to be received. So let’s expect to encounter and receive Jesus’ blessings for us today.

In 1 Corinthians 11:23-26, Paul says: For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.

When we focus on the last verse above (v 26) we read that every time we take communion, we proclaim; Or in other words, we PROPHESY; When we take communion and PROCLAIM the Lord’s death, burial and resurrection, we are PROPHESYING over ourselves the message of the cross AND ALL the benefits the bible says we receive that are attached to that sacrificial and redemptive act, until He returns again.

In 1 Corinthians 1:18, Paul writes: To preach the message of the cross seems like sheer nonsense to those who are on their way to destruction, but to us who are being saved, it is the mighty power of God released within us. Not only do we have access to ALL the benefits, but we have power released within us to step out in faith and PROPHESY it over ourselves and our families. 

When we take communion with that revelation:

  • We are PROPHESYING the Lord’s death, burial and resurrection to the principalities and powers of darkness, and that they are defeated by the blood of Jesus!
  • We are prophesying before all of heaven’s hosts that we are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, and that we believe he lived a sinless spotless life, and we believe that he gave himself as a sacrificial lamb for us.

When we take communion: 

  • We are prophesying that by His stripes, we are healed. 
  • We are prophesying over ourselves the RESURRECTION POWER of Jesus.

When we take communion: 

  • We are prophesying that we are whole, a NEW CREATION, through Christ Jesus. 
  • We are prophesying that we abide in Him, and He abides in us.

Let’s get our communion elements ready, and stand in faith and believe that when we pray and partake, a transaction will happen in the Spiritual realm.

Lord Jesus we come before You now with our communion elements and WE BLESS this bread with what You say it is: LIFE. Jesus, we bless this bread with Your RESURRECTION POWER. We bless this bread with HEALING. We bless this bread with WHOLENESS.

Lord Jesus, we take these elements and we remember your death, burial, and resurrection. We remember that YOU pardon our inequities, YOU heal our sickness and pain, YOU deliver our lives from the pit, YOU crown our lives with loving kindness, YOU satisfy us with a FULL LIFE, YOU are our SHIELD OF PROTECTION when the enemy rises against us, and YOU renew our youth like that of the eagle. So I bless these elements with ALL of the benefits you say I will enjoy through Your sacrifice for us. As we take this into our bodies, I declare HEALING in the name of Jesus. As we take these communion elements into our bodies, restore our health, restore our souls, restore our strength, restore our bones, restore our mental sharpness, restore our joy, restore our youth like your Word says to that of an eagle. I attach my faith and believe that this is a spiritual transaction that brings healing in my body, wholeness to my soul, and will renew my youth and renew my strength like that of an eagle.

Lord Jesus, we bless our families and PROPHESY their God ordained destinies in the mighty name of Jesus. Any curse the enemy thinks he may hold against our bloodline, was nailed to the cross, and has been annulled. We release the resurrection power of Jesus over our spouses, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and a thousand generations still to come through the coming ages, and PROPHESY JESUS as the cornerstone in every single one’s lives.

You said Lord, that he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me and I in him. So we THANK YOU for your sacrifice, and release this blessing NOW as we partake of this communion, in the mighty name of Jesus. AMEN
