Bread of life

Spiritual communion
On 26. August 2026, whilst sharing our stories and praying during a prayer meeting, I saw how this connection between Jesus and with each other is vital to get spiritually fed.

If we open ourselves up to the Lord Jesus to feed us, He will do it.
Have you noticed that so often it happens through another brother or sister in Christ though? You find yourself hearing them share something you really needed to hear? This is how God has designed it. If we are in fellowship with God, and with each other, He can freely flow like living waters between us. "...that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ" (1 John 1:3-7)
But we need to come with our hearts in the right place - to listen from Jesus to learn for ourselves (not to hear to find fault or so that we can correct others).

"Therefore if there is any encouragement and comfort in Christ [as there certainly is in abundance], if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship [that we share] in the Spirit, if [there is] any [great depth of] affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love [toward one another], knit together in spirit, intent on one purpose [and living a life that reflects your faith and spreads the gospel—the good news regarding salvation through faith in Christ]." (Philippians 2:1,2)

Being fed by Jesus through each other is creating unity and connection.

What I saw was this: IF we humble ourselves and open our hearts to hear what the Lord is saying through each other (whoever they are), we will be able to receive the Eternal Bread of life which feeds our innermost beings!

As we share the 'piece of bread' (our revelation), Jesus will reveal it to the other person if they are open to Him. It will then become a living word revealed to them by Christ ie. 'multiplied' as we share!

This principle is well illustrated in the story of multiplying bread and fish: Jesus broke bread and shared to His disciples, where it was multiplied (there are several theories how the bread could have multiplied, but that is not the point I am trying to make right now, nevertheless it's an interesting point to ponder over...). Once it multiplied, only then it could feed everyone there...they were fed because disciples shared what they had!

The way we shared our stories, was exactly the same principle set to work in the spiritual world as well - we get fed BECAUSE other disciples feed us! As we share, it becomes spiritual food in us as we are receiving what Jesus gave to one of us as a starting point of "one loaf"!
He touched it.
He breathed on it.
He broke it and gave to His disciples.

We need each other to be fed by Jesus!

PRAYER
Lord Jesus I repent from closing myself off to You through some of my brothers and sisters. I understand that we are all parts of the same body of Yours. You have chosen the week and foolish by the standards of this world to reveal Yourself through, and I want to be completely open to You, whoever You choose to speak to me through. Please help me understand this marvel that we are all parts of Your body, wonderfully made in Your image. I want to bring glory to Your name Jesus with everything I do. Please show me areas where You would like to change me, in Jesus' name! Amen.
