You shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread; as I commanded you, seven days you shall eat unleavened bread at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in it you came out from Egypt. And no one shall appear before Me empty. Exodus 23:15
The Lord's speaking this week is on the matter of feasting upon Him in general, and in particular, on different aspects of feasting upon Him. Today, the Lord richly spoke through the saints in their prophesying on the particular matter of Christ as the unleavened Bread.
Footnotes from the the Holy Bible, Recovery Version.Keeping the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Deut. 16:1-8) typifies the purging away of all sinful hings through the enjoyment of Christ as the sinless life supply. This feast is a continuation of the Passover.
A Christian life is a life of living Christ (Phil. 1:21), and Christ is sinless and perfect. However, in reality, a Christian life is not without sin, though it should rightly be. Our salvation is secure, yet do we daily enjoy he Lord's salvation? Honestly, even as Christians we do fall at times; we do commit sins willing or unwilling, consciously or unconsciously. But once we are aware of our sins as the Holy Spirit convicts we must deal with it seriously by confessing them, applying the blood of Jesus and taking definite steps to deal with it without any delay. However, do be able to do this, we need the Lord Jesus as our sinless life supply of the unleavened bread.
In truth, no one can deal with his or her sins by his or her own strength. The only way, yes I emphasis, THE ONLY WAY is by eating the Lord Jesus as the unleavened Bread.
John 6:57 As the living Father has sent Me and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also shall live because of Me.
Our being able to live as the Lord would, is by living the Lord Himself. The only way to live the Lord Himself is to allow Him to live in us and through us by being constituted with His life and nature by eating Him daily as our heavenly manna. There is no other way. Only eating Jesus is the way!
This eating is not a one time or a couple of times matter, but a daily matter; all the days of our Christian life, as signified by the feasting for seven days, a full course of our Christian life.
As brothers and sisters prophesied, the speaking of the Lord to the church here in Gurgaon is crystal clear. Enjoy Christ in the church by feasting upon Christ as the unleavened Bread. Some saints have testified of how the Lord changed their lives just by them feeding upon the Lord Jesus everyday, by calling upon His Name, enjoying Him in the Word and in fellowship.
The flow of the Spirit was so strong in our praises in singing and worship. And the speaking of the Lord was so rich in the corporate prophesying of the saints, all on the same burden, of feasting upon the Triune God as our full enjoyment.
Lord, grace me to feast upon You all the days of my life.
