Communion

Communion at The Rock Church - www.mylesyoung.comLast night was a very special night at TRC. It was a night of communion and footwashing. Personally, I look forward to these nights as there always seems to be a uniqueness to these services that touches me deeply. There is a unity takes place that is so important. I watched as brothers knelt at the feet of another brother with tears rolling down their faces as they prayed for one another and committed to serve one another and my heart was filled with an overwhelming sense of love for the body of Christ.

The apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthian church concerning the Lord's Supper. Evidently the secular culture of Corinth had begun to pull at the foundation of the church and the caste system of the carnal community had brought division to the body. The wealthy class of the church had begun to gather earlier than the working/poor class and had mingled the Lord's supper with "dinner on the ground" (maybe the first pot-luck church dinners-lol). They had divide themselves according to "the haves" and "the have nots". The communion service had simply become a ritual of remembrance. It was almost like a "toast" to a great hero of the past but they had lost the real purpose of the communion service.
Paul informed them that even though they claimed it to be a spiritual gathering it was not making them better but rather they were gathering and making themselves worse. The point was to recognize that the work of Christ's death was to produce a church (the body) that would accomplish his mission. He said that we are to look back to his death until he come. Notice the past, present and future of communion.

The Past.
We look back to his death and ask the questions: How he died? Why he died? For Whom did he die?

The Present.
As we take the elements of communion we are to look around and recognize that Christ died to produce this group of people that we are communing with. The good, the bad, the ugly, the rich, the poor...we are all part of this body. (Corinth had missed this part)

The Future.
Till he comes. Our Lord is coming again and we have been given the responsibility of the great Commission. That brother or sister standing next to you is part of the team that God has brought together by his death, burial and resurrection.

So, as we commune we look back, we look around and we look to the future and recommit ourselves to Christ, to one another and to a lost and dying world.

Thank God for the Body of Christ!

MEXICO UPDATE-THURSDAY after church

Pastor C. Myles Young, Bro Santo, & Dr. Paul Baumeister - www.mylesyoung.com Pastor C. Myles Young, Bro Santo, & Dr. Paul Baumeister

Bro Santo (Holy) receiving the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance - www.mylesyoung.com Bro Santo receiving the Holy Ghost !

We just got out of church on Thursday night. It was a good service. We had several receive the Holy Ghost tonight. Pray for the service tomorrow night following the baptism class we are teaching tomorrow afternoon.

This afternoon we went to eat lunch at the Pastor's home and when we arrived we met a man named "Santo"(Holy in english). He has been attending the church but has never received the Holy Ghost. We found out that he would not be able to be at church tonight because he had to work. He was very disappointed because he thought he might receive the Holy Ghost at the conference. I told him that God could fill him with His Spirit right now, before he had to leave for work. Dr. Baumeister then asked him if he believed what I told him. He responded "Si, Yo creo"(I believe). We finished eating and stood up and the man began to cry....we laid our hands upon him and suddenly he began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave the utterance. Before today he had been given the name "Holy/Santo" but today God made him "Holy/Santo" by moving into his heart.

We still have one more day and night in this revival so please approach the throne of God on our behalf.

"Mi Dios puede hacer todo"!

Pastor Young, I'm so glad to see what the Lord is doing in Delicias. There are so many more doors that are opening as we speak - or as I write hehehe. Sister Luz is an awesome lady. I got to meet her about a month ago. I'm sure as you have found out, they are so hungry for the P.A.S.T.O.R.S Course. She wants me to go teach it to them. Our vision in Phoenix for Delicias is for it to become the training center for Mexico. Out of all the other ministries that we have invested ourselves in, Delicias has been the most faithfull. Pastor Vazquez and I are such Wilsonites like you wouldn't believe. "helping people become" helped me to get a job here in Phoenix jejejeje - thats the Spanish way of hehehe on the net... I used that during my interview as my motto - helping people become.

Has the priest been baptized in Jesus' Name yet? I know that he got the Holy Ghost.
