Feature Lesson 1
Unbroken Communion
We as children of God need to realize the importance of communion.
Communion with our father will allow us to walk in the fear of him, and it allows us to take
on his thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and the principles of God. In a nutshell we take on the
heart of God. If we would only commune with the father as often as he desires, we would
not be just considered ‘His servants.’ But we become more of his co-workers. 2Cor 6:1
states, “We are workers together with him.” 2Cor 3:18 says, “But we all with open face
beholding as in a glass the glory of the lord, are changed into the same image from glory
to glory, even as by the spirit of the lord.” By these statements, we learn that it is very
possible for us to take on the character of God. It is clear that we cannot take on God’s
heart if we develop or become persistent in our efforts to seek a deeply rooted, intimate,
and committed relationship with him. As dear children of the Most High and Almighty God,
we should long for hunger, and thirst after righteousness…...
Why do I say this? I am glad that you asked! For they that do hunger and thirst after His
righteousness shall be filled (Mt 5:6). Also see and read Ps 63:1, 84:2, 42:1-2.
Constant communion with our father will allow us to experience his omnipresence. When
we are tempted to entertain deluding thoughts, especially those that tempt us to give up
on God, He will make known His touch and His presence. Let us take a glance at our
Savior Christ Jesus. He was presumably always aware that his father was very near, and
very present (see John 5:19, 30, 14:11). When Jesus was praying in the Garden of
Gethsemane, He underwent the “agony of decision.” He had to make one crucial, self-
less decision that would effect the lives of all humanity for all eternity. He knew what His
initial purpose for living had been as well as what His cruel death would mean. But
somehow, even this man, the Son of God, was in a dilemma. Perhaps Satan and flesh
itself had not given up on Jesus. They (Satan and flesh) wanted to present Jesus another
chance to give up on the most climatic moment in history that would ultimately destroy and
completely annihilate the works of the devil (John3:8). However, Jesus knew He needed
guidance, assurance, and perhaps, a touch from the father. He knew the cross was
waiting for him, but He was not so sure He could bear it. So Jesus proceeded to do what
He had become accustomed to….and that was seeking the Father. In doing so Jesus got
back on track. The Father had to reassure Him in His spirit that the cup couldn’t be
passed (Luke22:39-44). For he stated, nevertheless, not my will, but thine will be done
(v42). It was at that moment the bible declares that an angel came from Heaven and
strengthened Him. Jesus really walked to a different beat. Anyone that knows anything
about Jesus, knows that His very works, actions, reflexes, and/or responses to people
and things were and are quite contrary to those actions and responses of us (i.e. on a day
to day basis). In other words Jesus did exactly what his Father instructed Him. Yes, He
had been manifested in the flesh. However, he responded very spiritually… Why you ask
again? For we know that He and His Father are one (John10:30)…see also John14:6-10,
15. Moreover, the Father was and is a spirit! For the scriptures states “God is a Spirit
and they that worship Him, must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” (John4:24)
Nevertheless Jesus wanted to please the Father. He stated that his meat (i.e. business,
aim, or goal) is to do the will of Him that sent Him, and to finish His work (see John 4:34;
along w/ John 8:29, 5:7, 6:28-29). This concerns the work of God. We could very well
examine Jesus’ sayings concerning His relationship with His Father. We can infer that
Jesus was practically God’s translator of Heavenly things (i.e. things present and things to
come, and all things concerning the Kingdom of God, of which He always operated in). In
other words, Jesus spoke when God spoke, and judged when God judged (John5:22, 30;
8:15). Most people couldn’t hear what He heard. Most people couldn’t flow in the spirit
with grace as He had. Jesus really walked to a different rhythm. “I am the vine and you
are the branches.” (John15:5) Think about that scripture. If you took a quick glimpse at a
grapevine, the vine and the branches look alike. You may also find it a little impossible to
discern where one starts and the other ends. In short, our sweet communion with the
Lord should cause us to think as He thinks, move as He moves, feel as He feels, and do
what He always done…Glorify our Father which is in Heaven, by allowing others to see
Him in us.
