Some of you might have read from my posts that I am in a predominantly Orthodox country so I really dont have the people to fellowship with. Bible believing Christians are rare here and I dont want to be part of the ritual, because they put a lot of scare and beating people up about something that was supposed to be deep remembrance of Jesus, not terror, I am unable to approach the Lord's supper with that kind of mindset. I wished I knew people to gather with in homes and break bread, as the first Christians did it.
Yesterday I posted a post and some of my friends here encouraged me, this post was about us being a church. Regardless of people coming from many denominations, we are a gathering of believers, we gather in Jesus name, for His cause, and that makes us a CHURCH. So what if we cannot participate in the events physically? We pray together here, talk, study and everything. So it just dawned on me today... I DO have company to break bread with! How didnt I think of this before? Plus Resurrection Day is on Sunday... If someone would want to break bread together as we celebrate this day, that would be so amazing, I just know the power of God would rain heavily and that it would be a fantastic experience, gathering in Jesus worldwide!!! Amazing unity in Jesus as we eat the Lord's supper and remind ourselves that we are all part of one body, His Body, and forgive each other our trespasses and shortcomings and kill expectations, just love that builds up. I long for this unity. Had this in my head all day that I could barely contain myself and wait to get home!
I thought of opening a thread for gatherings among us to break bread. Resurrection Day is on Sunday and there's no better occassion than that! Everybody can get some unleavened bread and wine. (If alcohol offends you for whatever reasons, take grape juice - grape juice is also called wine in the Bible, the grape juice Biblically is called wine and does not have to be fermented.)
So I wrote all this but then I started thinking, you're stupid, why would people care, nobody would want that, that's a stupid idea, they all have churches to go to, or someone will maybe hang out because of pity not because they genuinely want to, and I was filled with fear, of rejection and that I will look stupid. But then I remembered what Joy in the Spirit I had today as I thought of this as I wanted to worship with others so much. It must have been of God. I believe the devil was talking to prevent me from publishing this idea. And I was like, I dont care what the devil talks about, so what if I will look stupid, I'll look stupid for a good reason once in my life, lol.
We could hang out on this thread and if someone has to say anything as led by God, say it or just enjoy the deep moment... So if anybody gets interested, we could talk about the best time to do this... maybe this sunday?
