Healing Through
Communion

Although Yahweh has many ways of healing, surely one of the most
precious comes from observance of Communion. Through Communion, people
have been healed of cancer, diabetes, Epstein-Barr virus, and more.
Recently, Sid Roth interviewed Dr. John Miller, a chiropractor who has
studied the power of Communion to heal for more than 20 years.
Dr. Miller said, “Communion is a powerful source of healing that has
been overlooked by the Called out Assembly. I took Communion all my life and never
once thought about it in connection with healing. Then, one day, as I
was reading 1 Corinthians 11: 28-30, I saw that sickness can come from
not recognizing or discerning the body of Yahushua. The way a believer
takes Communion can directly affect his or her health.
Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of Yahushua in an
unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood
of Yahushua. A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the
bread and drinks of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without
recognizing the body of Yahushua eats and drinks judgment on himself.
That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have
fallen asleep. (1 Corinthians 11:27-30, New International Version,
emphasis added).
“As I researched this passage, I learned that Communion, also called
Yahushua’s Supper, originated in Yahushua’ last observance of Passover,
the night before His crucifixion. During that meal, Yahushua shared a cup
of wine, and said it was the new covenant in His blood, for the
forgiveness of our sins. He also broke bread and said it represented
His body.
“As I meditated on the symbolism of the broken bread, His body, I
thought about the 39 stripes He received when He was scourged. He had
literally taken the beating due us for our sin. I realized that
discerning the body of Yahushua meant our focus should be on Yahushua.
He had already paid the price for our healing by the scourging He
experienced, and that we do not have to be sick!
“Isaiah talked about a coming Messiyah who would take our sins and our
sicknesses onto His own body. Chapter 53 of the book of Isaiah
describes what the ancient rabbis referred to as the leprous Messiyah,
because early portions of the chapter talk about His being marred or
disfigured by all the sin and disease of humanity.
Surely our griefs [sickness, Heb.] He Himself bore, and our sorrows
[Heb., pains] He carried….But He was pierced through for our
transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for
our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.
(Isaiah 53:4-5, New American Standard version, emphasis added.)
“This passage is repeated in Matthew 8:17 and in 1 Peter 2:24 because
it is so important. Yahushua took our sin and died to pay the price, and
by the wounds in His body, we have been healed. When we discern His
body, we are to consider this important fact.
“In the Communion supper, Yahushua provided two elements, wine and
bread As we take the wine, which represents His blood, we are forgiven
of our sin. As we eat the bread, we are healed in our bodies. Yahuweh gave
us this physical ceremony in Communion, for the healing of our
physical bodies, as well as for the forgiveness of our sins.
“Many people are healed once they understand and believe this. For
example, Troy Miller, no relation, is a pastor in Florida who had
cancer of the kidney. He lay dying in a hospital bed. Yahushua spoke
to his mother, telling her to take the Communion elements of bread and
wine to him in the hospital. When he took Communion, the cancer
immediately began disappearing from Troy’s body.
“To give another example, a car racing friend of mine had been in a
bad crash, which he had survived, but which had cost him his
peripheral vision. One night when he was visiting at my house, I
explained the healing power of Communion to him. It was late at night,
about two o’clock in the morning, when we decided to break bread
together. As he meditated on the truth of healing through the wounds
of Yahushua, the lamb of God, his peripheral vision came back.
“All healing is not immediate. In fact, most healing takes place
gradually. I tell people to take Communion just like it was a
medicine, three times a day. You can do it by yourself, in your own
home or where ever you are. You do not need any special bread or wine,
because it is your faith that is the key, not the material objects you
have.”
Dr. Miller said, “If we take Communion on regular basis, daily or even
several times a day, we can take it believing in progressive healing.
This is good for people who just do not have the faith to receive
immediate, total healing, and it builds their faith because they can
see small, progressive improvements. The important thing is to take
Communion in faith, recognizing signs of improvement.
“One young lady was brought to me who was dying from Epstein Barr
virus. The virus has destroyed 39% of her liver, and she was very ill.
She began taking communion three times a day, discerning Yahushua’s
body, broken for her healing. A year later, she was in perfect health,
with no trace of the virus in her blood.
“I myself was healed of chronic headaches which had developed from a
head injury. Every day I took a large hunk of bread and chewed it
bite-by-bite, meditating on the mystery of exchanging my sickness with
Yahushua wholeness, because all my diseases were placed on Him. He paid
the price for my wholeness.
“Faith is the key to unlocking all of the promises of Yahuweh. Yahushua
said,
“What things so ever you desire, believe you receive them and you
shall have them.” If we take Communion in faith, then we enter not
only into forgiveness of sin, but also healing for our body.
During the radio interview, Sid commented, “This is a powerful
teaching. From now on, I will be taking Communion every day, eating
the bread slowly while meditating on the awesome love of the Messiyah.”
We are free from all curses through the Messiyah. Discerning His body,
broken for us, is one of the most precious ways we have of expressing
that faith.

``everyone that is
hungry, (lwkyw yty) , "let him
come and EAT", and everyone that hath need or ought, let him keep the
Passover.''
1 Corinthians 1: 23-32 23For I
received from Yahushua what I also passed on to you: Yahushua,
on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24and
when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body,
which is for you; do this in remembrance of me."
25In the same way, after supper he took
the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this,
whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me."
26For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you
proclaim Yahushua's death until he comes.
27Therefore, whoever eats the bread
or drinks the cup of Yahushua in an unworthy manner will be guilty of
sinning against the body and blood of Yahushua.
28A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and
drinks of the cup. 29For anyone who eats
and drinks without recognizing the body of Yahushua eats and drinks
judgment on himself. 30That is why many
among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.
31But if we judged ourselves, we would
not come under judgment. 32When we are
judged by Yahushua, we are being disciplined so that we will not be
condemned with the world.
Let us look at the meaning of the word
REMEMBER in communion or Yahushua's Last Supper.
Let us do this in REMEMBRANCE of Yahushua and
the price He paid for our freedom. Let us REMEMBER or RECONNECT
ourselves to Yahushua the Anointed Messiyah THE HEAD of His Called out Assembly. In a different usage of the word REMEMBER let us NOW be
reconnected to Yahushua who is the Head of His body. So now through
communion get your body, soul and spirit reconnected to Yahushua by
taking the bread and eating the health and healing paid for by His
bruised body which was broken for us so that our body does not have to
be broken. His shed blood was spilt so that we may enjoy the freedom
of His love for us and the forgiveness of sins and the rejuvenation of
our spirit, soul and body. So by partaking of the communion meal you
bring complete healing to your spirit, soul and body. Let us now be
remembered to Him
who is our head. Come eat and drink and enjoy the price that was paid
for your freedom. Fear not the religious spirit of condemnation and
destruction that so easily stops the reconnection of the body of Yahushua the Anointed Messiyah
to its correct HEAD, Yahushua the only Head of His Called out Assembly. <>< <><
