Please follow the Servant Leaders ministration. You will join in with the confessions/declarations.
LORD JESUS, I bow before YOU in humility and ask YOU to examine my heart today. Show me anything that is not pleasing to YOU. Reveal any secret pride, any unconfessed sin, any rebellion or unforgiveness that may be hindering my relationship with YOU. I know that I am YOUR beloved child, having received YOU into my heart and life and having accepted YOUR death as penalty for my sinfulness. The price YOU paid covered me for all time, and my desire is to live for YOU.
But while my relationship is secure with YOU, I know sin can break our fellowship at times. I’m still human, and I often forget who I am and WHOSE I am. YOU want to convict and correct me, not shame me. YOU love me like a perfect parent. YOU’LL never disown me or leave me. YOU love me no matter what. But sin hurts both my heart and YOURS. So before I take communion today, I’m asking YOU to truly search my heart and reveal hidden things for which to ask YOUR forgiveness.
Each time I take communion, LORD, I want to recommit my life, my heart, my thoughts, my everything to YOU.
Fill me today with YOUR powerful SPIRIT.
As I take the bread representing YOUR life that was broken for me, I remember and celebrate YOUR faithfulness to me and to all who will receive YOU. I can’t begin to fathom the agonizing suffering of YOUR crucifixion. Yet YOU took that pain for me. YOU died for me! Thank YOU, JESUS. Thank YOU for YOUR extravagant love and unmerited favour. Thank YOU that YOUR death gave me life – abundant life now, and eternal life forever. As YOU instructed YOUR disciples, I, too, receive this bread in remembrance of YOU.
LORD, it’s not right that I suffer from sickness or disease.
I judge it now as being from satan, and I reject it. I refuse to receive it any longer.
I disallow any disease associated with the Coronavirus into my body.
I partake of the sacrifice of YOUR SON’S body, and I receive the abundant life that YOU have provided, in JESUS’ Name.
And in the same way, as I take this cup representing Your blood poured out from a splintered cross, I realize that You were the supreme sacrifice for all my sin: past, present, and future. Because of Your blood shed for me, and Your body broken for me, I can be free from the power and penalty of sin. Thank You for Your victory over death. You took the death that I deserved. You took my punishment. Your pain was indeed my gain. And today I remember and celebrate the precious gift of life You gave me through the blood that You spilled.
FATHER, I give YOU thanks for all YOU have provided for me through the New Covenant in CHRIST JESUS.
I partake of those promises now!
I am healed.
Let the token of this cup destroy any disease associated with the Coronavirus in my body.
I am redeemed.
I am the head and not the tail.
I am above and not beneath.
I take the healing YOU sacrificed to give me, and I thank YOU and praise YOU for it, in JESUS’ Name.
LORD JESUS, what a privilege to be able to come before YOUR throne of grace and partake of the precious sacraments of bread and wine, in remembrance of YOUR atoning sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary.
Thank YOU for dying for me on the Cross and paying the enormous price for my sins, so that I may be forgiven of all my faults and receive YOUR indwelling life.
May I never forget the enormous price that was paid on my behalf. May I never forget that I have been bought with a price, the precious Blood of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. May I live for HIM from this day on, knowing that YOUR body was broken and YOUR Blood was spilt for me,
Thank YOU, LORD. In JESUS’ Name,
As I leave this place, help me to hold this fresh remembrance and the story that never grows old close to my heart. Help me to share its message faithfully as YOU give opportunity.
In YOUR Precious Name,
Amen
