Health Food Devotional Rightly Discern the Lords Body January 19, 2015 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lords body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. (1 Cor. 11:29-30) Paul is inferring that there shouldnt be any physically weak or sickly among the Church of Jesus Christ. There shouldnt be any who die prematurely. He indicates that many people are weak and sickly because they arent rightly discerning the body. This observation has a twofold application. First, Paul is talking about the Lords Supper. The broken bread represents Jesus broken body that was broken for your physical sustenance. You can partake of that broken body just as a routine ceremony, and it wont mean a thing in the world to you; it will just be a ritual. Or when you hold that piece of broken bread in your hand, you can say, Thank God, the body of Jesus was broken for my physical sustenance. His blood was shed for the remission of my sins. Im eating the bread as a sign, as evidence, that Im partaking of His broken body and, therefore, Im healed. With His stripes, I am healed. I no longer have sickness or disease. When you do this, you are discerning the Lords body. There is another spiritual aspect to this scripture, which is that the Body of Christ is one. The spiritual Body in the earth today is one, and you must walk in love toward your fellow Christians. If you dont discern the Body of Christ and walk in love toward your fellow Christians, youll open the door to sickness and disease. Confession I will walk in love toward all Christians. Ill honor and reverence all Christians. I may not always agree with all Christians, but Ill not be disagreeable. Source: Health Food Devotions by Kenneth E. Hagin. Excerpt permission granted by Faith
