2/10/2013 THE BREAD OF
LIFE

John 6:40-58……”I am the
bread of life. “Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
“This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not
die…………”

Jesus Christ
is the bread of life; many people do not understand the meaning of Holy
Communion. Holy Communion is the institution of life, established by God
Himself. Old Testament is a shadow, of the reality that will take place in the
New Testament. It means that the children of Israel sojourned in Egypt; they
were afflicted and oppressed. Everyone that is born into this world was first
born into Egypt. Egyptians were the things of the powers of darkness and
Pharaoh was a shadow of the reality of Satan. Satan is a slave master, as
Pharaoh enslaved the children of Israel. Pharaoh is a slave master, and so is
Satan; everyone had to depart from Egypt in order to get to the Promised Land. The
Promised Land in the Old Testament which was a real promised land was in the
physical, but the Promised Land that God established for you and I; is
paradise. 

As Moses was
sent, to deliver the children of Israel from Egypt, so Christ came to this
world to deliver us from Egypt and from the hand of the slave master. Moses was
sent to the children of Israel to deliver them, and to take them out of the
hands of the slave master. Jesus Christ came from heaven; and God so loved the
world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believes in Him shall
not perish but have everlasting life……… John 3:16. Now when the children of
Israel were to leave Egypt, a day to the time of leaving; the feast of pass
over was instituted. In the feast of pass over, a lamb must be slaughtered by
each family, and the blood of the lamb must be in the lintel of the houses. God
wanted to pass over Egypt, and to destroy every first born, but every place
where the blood is been placed, the angel of destruction will pass it over. In
the reality of the New Testament, reality of paradise that the Lord promised,
the lamb that must be slaughtered was Jesus Christ, and His blood must be upon
everyone; so that when Satan the angel of destruction; when spirit of death,
sees us and he sees the blood upon us he will pass us over; and the destruction
will not come upon us.

Exodus
12:13……The blood shall be a sign for you in the houses where you are. And when
I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to
destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. So Jesus now became the lamb and
it please God Isaiah 53:10……To bruise Him, to make His soul as an atoning
sacrifice for his people; and Jesus was slaughtered as the children of Israel
slaughtered lamb, on that day because each family slaughtered lamb and they put
the blood on the lintel of the house; the angel of destruction was passing by,
as he was passing by, every house where the blood was placed, he passed them
over. That is the reason why Jesus Christ blood is upon you this hour, that
when the destroyer sees the blood in you, he passes you over. When Satan sees
the blood on you, he passes you over; for whatever is born of God has overcome
the world…….1 John 5:4. So the blood of Jesus Christ was placed upon you; and
is placed upon me; and is placed upon the whole world and that is why the
destroyer cannot touch you; that is why Satan cannot touch you; that is why
problem cannot come near you; it cannot come near you because of the blood.

Zechariah
9:11….As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I will set your prisoners
free….. We were formerly prisoners, prisoners of Satan; we were formerly salves
of Satan, but because of the blood of Jesus Christ, we regained our freedom. So
I am free today because of the blood of Jesus Christ; so you are set free; you
are set at liberty, because of the blood of Jesus Christ. It is not that we
save ourselves by ourselves, it is because somebody shed His blood on the cross
because of us; and His name is Jesus Christ. This morning Jesus shed His blood
upon you, so therefore, you are covered. On that day the children of Israel
were not panicking at all, reason, we believe in God; that as long as the blood
is on the lintel of our house, there is no trouble. So if people could believe
in the blood that was shed, from the animal, how much more, the blood of the
son of God. The blood of the lamb could save the children of Israel because the
word of the Lord was manifested in it. Now the blood of God was manifested in
the blood of Jesus and Jesus Himself, is the word of God and because the word
of the Lord can never fail; because the word of the Lord can never see
corruption. So the word of the Lord has been spoken, that Jesus Christ is the
blood, is the blood covenant to deliver His people, to deliver us. Because of
the blood of Jesus Christ you are set free; in the name of Jesus Christ….…

That is the
reason why principalities and powers will look at us they will flee; reason,
because somebody shed the blood on the cross. As long as the blood is in your
house, as long as the blood is upon you; as long as the blood is with you; as
long as the blood could be found in you; the destroyer cannot touch you. The
blood of Jesus; the blood of Jesus…….Somebody shout alleluia. Hebrews 9:22….For
without the shedding of the blood there is no remission. So we are sinners, and
the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus
our Lord….…..Romans 6:23. Instead of us to die, it is Jesus who died for us;
because on that night instead of the children of Israel to die because the
angel of the Lord was going; and every house that has no blood; the first born
in that house will be dead. As the angel of the Lord is passing by, the angel
of destruction that is taking people to hell is also passing by. But whenever
they see the blood, whenever they see the mark of salvation in you, they know
that you are a redeemer of the Lord; and they will pass you over; destruction
will pass you over in the name of Jesus.

Just as the
lamb was slaughtered, Jesus also was crucified; just as the blood was shed on
that day; Jesus blood was also shed for us. Leviticus 17:11……for the life of
the blood is in the flesh……. For anyone to live, the blood must be inside you.
Genesis 9:4…..You shall not eat the flesh with its life, that is, its blood.
What is that life? The blood. The blood is the life of the flesh; and that is
why Jesus said “unless you eat the flesh, of the son of God; and you drink his
blood; you have no life in you. Because the flesh must be eaten and the must be
taken; so that you can have life. ” when the flesh of Jesus Christ was eaten;
then the Adamic flesh that you and I carry from our mothers womb, will be dealt
with and will be destroyed. Because we will now have the image of God Himself,
and because God is eternal, you and l can live eternally. This is because we
have been taken out of the Adamic flesh, when we came out from our mothers
womb, and we have taken the flesh of Jesus Christ; and Jesus is the son of God;
and because God is spirit, everyone that eats the flesh of Jesus Christ, will
now have life in him, and become like God.

John 4:24…… God
is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. And we
also will be in the spirit, and we will become spirit and spirit never dies; so
you will never die. When you eat the flesh of Jesus Christ today, you will now drink
the blood, because without the blood, there is no life. John 1:4 …… In Him was
life, and the life was the light of men. The opposite of life is death; if we
have life in Christ, if we have life in us; then we have peace with God, and we
live forever. Galatians 2:20…… I have been crucified with Christ, it is no
longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the
flesh I live by faith……. Praise the Lord….. I have been crucified with Christ,
so when you have the blood, when you have the flesh it is no longer you who
lives; but Christ lives in me. Everything that is in Christ is now in you because
you are whatever is inside you. If Christ is inside you; you behave like
Christ; if Satan is inside us, we behave like Satan. If anyone wants to destroy
my flesh, he/she is wasting his/her time, because my flesh is no more my flesh;
if anyone wants to drink my blood he/she is wasting his/her time because my
blood is no longer my blood.

Isaiah
49:26….I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh, because they
cannot eat your flesh, because your flesh is a poison to them; because it is
the flesh of God. Your blood is a poison to them, because it is the blood of
Christ. It is going to be a waste of time, energy, money, and resources for
anyone to be slaughtering animals because of you; they are just wasting that
animal. If anyone will be going to the herbalist because of you; the flesh they
want to kill, is no more your flesh. The life that I live now, l live in the name of Jesus Christ
the son of God.
I live my life in Christ; it is no longer I that
lives anymore, but Christ lives in me. So if Christ lives in me; whoever wants
to kill me will first kill Christ. Colossians 3:3…..For you died, and your life
is hidden with Christ in God……. Christ lives, in me and Christ Himself in God;
for you to kill Christ, you must kill God; and for you to touch me you must
first touch Christ, and to touch Christ, you must first touch God. Who can
touch God? Who can stand against God? For anyone who wants to stand against you
must first stand against God. Because the life that I live; I live in the son
of God; who gave His life for me; so it is no more my life. That is the reason
we are secured, and delivered, because Christ lives in us. I have taken away
and brought down the gene of my father that was earthly; because it leads to
death; but the gene of Jesus leads to life, so God has become my father; Jesus
has become my father. Because Jesus is your father, like begets like. So you
have the nature of Christ; no more the nature of man. Can I hear Amen from
somebody…….Amen……..

The bread of
life; He said “I am the bread of life” John 6:48. In Verse 49…..Not as your
fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and are dead. Whoever eats Jesus
Christ, whoever eats His flesh shall live forever; this is the time to tell the
devil that, you are wrong, you cannot do anything against me, because the flesh
that you see……. 2 Corinthians 5:1…..For we know that if our earthly house, this
tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens. I want you to understand this hour that the communion
was an institution, ordained by God Himself; that as the children of Israel
pass over, and death passed them over from Egypt, so death will pass you over;
destruction will pass you over; in the name of Jesus……. The children of Israel
now left Egypt; as you and I have left the world. Egypt is the world, there was
red sea that they have to cross, and before manna came down from heaven they
first crossed the red sea.

For you to
have Holy Communion you must first cross the red sea and the red sea you have
to cross is to give your life to Jesus Christ. It is the red sea that
demarcated the children of Israel from the Egyptians. That is why the Lord said
“you are not going to return to Egypt any more”; when you come to Jesus, and
give your life to Him; as you are marching forward to the altar,
Satan is also marching forward with his demons and fallen angels to you. Truly,
the Egyptians crossed as the children of Israel crossed, but the difference
between it is that the children of Israel; crossed and crossed over, the
Egyptians crossed, but they did not cross over. So any demonic power, any
earthly power, any spirit, any territorial spirit, any witch, any power of
darkness, that follow you; as you are crossing, they may cross, but will not
cross over; they will perish inside the red sea. Red sea will demarcate you
from the world that you are no longer going to the world; but you are in Christ.
As the Egyptians were crossing over, God told Moses to stretch forth his hands,
so that the water may close on the Egyptians Exodus 14:26……..

That is what
Jesus, who was our Moses, stretches His hands as you cross to Him, and the
water closes on the demons that are pursuing you; closed on the devil that was
pursuing you; and they perished. Exodus 27-28…..The Egyptians perished, they
sank, and not one person could escape. Therefore, every demon that is pursuing;
every power that the pursuing you; every demonic gadget, every trouble, every
evil spirit, shall perish today; and they shall not escape, in the name of
Jesus……. They shall all perish as they are pursuing you. Just as Moses said “do
not be afraid but stand still and see the deliverance of the Lord, which He
will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall
see them no more forever.”  You will not
see problem again; you will not see pain again; in the name of Jesus…….. Jesus
is the bread of life; so you have to eat the bread and you have to drink the
blood; and that is why He said, “This is the blood of my new covenant.”
Alleluia……  Matthew 26:26-28…..Jesus
broke the bread and He gave it to the disciples and said “take, eat”; in verse
27…..He took the cup and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying “drink from
it”; in verse 28….. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for
many for the remission of sins.” If you sin, you will die, but Jesus Christ
died for our sins, and because of this, sin has no power over us anymore; and
we will not live our lives in sin anymore, but we will live our life in Christ
Jesus the son of God. Praise the Lord…… alleluia………..

When people harass
you, say to them unless Christ did not die for me,  shall you be able to kill me; unless the blood
is not on me; shall you be able to afflict me; because they cannot afflict you;
because nobody can afflict God; they cannot oppress you because nobody can
oppress God. You have come out of Egypt, and you are now in the Promised Land;
you are heading into the Promised Land and Jesus is leading you; not as Moses
led and could not take the children of Israel to the Promised Land; but Jesus
is the one that is taking you to the promised land; and He said “follow me,
whoever follows me shall not walk in the darkness but will have the light of life……
John 8:12. If you want light in your life, you need Jesus. Hebrews 9:27…….It is
appointed for man to die once and after this judgment. Jesus Christ has come
and replaced your death and has given you life; Adam gave us death, but Jesus
gave us life. Today you need to come to Jesus; coming to Jesus gives you life;
coming to Jesus gives you hope, gives you blessing, joy and eternal life.

Remain Blessed in the
Lord
