Wake up, sleepy!<br>\n<br>\nWe recently learned of something that happened with some longtime very close\nfriends of ours, <span class=SpellE>Clif<\/span> and Kristi Shannon, who live in\nAnchorage. We've known them for nearly 25 years, and in fact Kristi was my\nsecretary when I was in international banking. She also worked with Della at <span\nclass=SpellE>Zales<\/span> Jewelers when we first met them. Anyway, <span\nclass=SpellE>Clif<\/span> has had diabetes for many years, and this past year\nsuffered with kidney failure and required daily dialysis treatments. He has\nbeen on a transplant list for a new kidney.<br>\n<br>\nI'm not sure what prompted it but Kristi decided to see if she could be a donor\nfor <span class=SpellE>Clif<\/span>. Turns out she was a perfect match. Seven or\neight weeks ago, the transplant operation was conducted in Seattle. Kristi gave\none of her kidneys to <span class=SpellE>Clif<\/span>, and the operation worked!\n<span class=SpellE>Clif<\/span> is now free of the dialysis treatments and is\nrecovering just fine, thank you very much. So is Kristi. We had the pleasure\nand blessing of their company this past week as they drove over for a four-day\nvisit.<br>\n<br>\nWe hear of kidney transplant operations regularly, but the idea that a wife\ncould donate one of her kidneys to her husband is really cool! I'd never seen\nthat before.<br>\n<br>\nThe recent death of a relative prompted some of our children and grandchildren\nto come from Alaska for a visit. Our youngest son, Joshua and his wife,\nMichelle (and their kids), came from Anchorage as did our daughter, Danielle.\nBecause they needed to get back home before Thanksgiving (both Danielle and\nJosh had to be back at work), we decided to have an early pre-Thanksgiving\ndinner. Four of our eight children were here, along with spouses, grandchildren\nand two of our great-grandchildren. I think I counted 21 at the dinner table --\nand that's about half of our tribe. We'll have an actual Thanksgiving dinner\nlater this week, but the gathering will be somewhat smaller.<br>\n<br>\nLet's see....what was it that David wrote? <em>&quot;As arrows are in the hand\nof a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his\nquiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the\nenemies in the gate.&quot;<\/em><br>\n<br>\nYup! David had it right! And we've got &quot;a quiver full.&quot;<br>\n<br>\n(Anyway, in case you're wondering, we've had a busy time for the past few weeks\n-- hence no Coffee Breaks got published.)<br>\n<br>\nWhen Paul was writing to the Corinthians about the Table of the Lord he wrote\nthis,<br>\n<br>\n<em>&quot;Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come\ntogether not for the better, but for the worse. For first of all, when ye come\ntogether in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly\nbelieve it. For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are\napproved may be made manifest among you. When ye come together therefore into\none place, this is not to eat the Lord\u2019s Supper. For in eating every one <span\nclass=SpellE>taketh<\/span> before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and\nanother is drunken. What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise\nye the church of God, and shame them that have not?<\/em><i><br>\n<br>\n<em>&quot;What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you\nnot. For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That\nthe Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he\nhad given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is\nbroken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he\ntook the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my\nblood: this do ye, as <span class=SpellE>oft<\/span> as ye drink it, in\nremembrance of me.<\/em><br>\n<br>\n<em>&quot;For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the\nLord\u2019s death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink\nthis cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the\nLord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and\ndrink of that cup. For he that <span class=SpellE>eateth<\/span> and <span\nclass=SpellE>drinketh<\/span> unworthily, <span class=SpellE>eateth<\/span> and <span\nclass=SpellE>drinketh<\/span> damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord\u2019s\nbody. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.&quot;<\/em><\/i>\n(I Corinthians 11:23-30)<br>\n<br>\nLet me once again phrase verses 29-30 for you in some contemporary amplified\nterminology. <em>&quot;He that eats and drinks [at the Table of the Lord]\ntreating it as just another commemorative act and &quot;one more religious\nthing to do,&quot; eats and drinks of the same judgment and decree God made\n[when He said to Adam, &quot;In the day you eat thereof, you shall surely\ndie&quot;], not differentiating between this Table and any other table. Because\nthey treat the Table of the Lord as commonplace, many people are weak and\ninfirm and suffer the various sicknesses and diseases that afflict human flesh;\nand many die -- most prematurely.&quot;<\/em><br>\n<br>\nIf you grew up in church like I did, you most likely heard the instruction to\n&quot;examine yourself&quot; more times than you can count. The problem was\nthat we were &quot;examining ourselves&quot; introspectively to see if we had\nany sin in us. There may be a sense in which that could be applied, but that's\nnot the whole picture of what Paul was talking about.<br>\n<br>\nThe Greek word in the original text is <span class=SpellE><em>dokimazo<\/em><\/span>,\nwhich means: to test, to prove, to scrutinize and to recognize as genuine after\nexamination; to approve, to deem worthy. This was a word originally\n&quot;coined&quot; (if you'll excuse the unintentional pun) among numismatists\nwho put metals through the fire to test their genuineness.<br>\n<br>\nThe word, <span class=SpellE><em>dokimazo<\/em><\/span>, describes the process by\nwhich the purity of coins were established -- putting gold, silver and other precious\nmetals into a crucible and applying heat to the place where any impurities\nwould come floating to the surface. Those impurities would be scooped off, and\nwhat remained would be classified as 99.9% pure. The .1% difference was always\nleft as the possible margin of error in which some undetectable impurity might\nremain.<br>\n<br>\nJust as an aside, Paul also uses this same word in writing to Timothy when he\nsays, <em>&quot;Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that <span\nclass=SpellE>needeth<\/span> not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of\ntruth.&quot;<\/em> (II Timothy 2:15 KJV) The King James Version really misses\nthe essence of what Paul wrote to Timothy.<br>\n<br>\nThis verse should really render like this: <em>&quot;Be instantly responsive to\nthe Lord, diligently making yourself available to Him in the midst of the\ncrucible, a tried and tested laborer who has no fear of being examined -- one\nwho, by virtue of God's testing and the time spent in the crucible with Him,\nknows the proven word of truth.&quot;<\/em><br>\n<br>\nQuite a different picture, don't you think? That word, <span class=SpellE><em>dokimazo<\/em><\/span>,\n(or actually its root, <span class=SpellE><em>dokimon<\/em><\/span>, which\ndescribes the smelting process itself) is what Paul is using to indicate how\napproval comes following examination.<br>\n<br>\nAnd what is it that we are examining, proving or testing at the Table of the\nLord? It is quite simple, really. Look at the context of the examination. <em>&quot;For\nhe that eats and drinks unworthily, eats and drinks judgment to himself because\nhe doesn't discern the Lord's body.&quot;<\/em><br>\n<br>\nAre you seeing it?<br>\n<br>\nDiscernment, in this case, is the ability to differentiate between what is\ntaking place when you eat at the Table of the Lord and when you simply eat a\npiece of bread or drink a cup of wine. Let me explain.<br>\n<br>\nThe phraseology that Paul uses is very revealing. Immediately after saying\n&quot;Let a man examine himself,&quot; he uses the Greek word, <span\nclass=SpellE><em>houtos<\/em><\/span>, which means: in this way, in the manner\nspoken of, like this, in such manner. Talk about an illustration!<br>\n<br>\nWhat Paul is literally saying is, <em>&quot;Let a man place himself for\nexamination in the crucible BY eating of that bread and drinking of that\ncup.&quot;<\/em> The examination comes by the Word being allowed to do His work\nin us by the power of His blood.<br>\n<br>\nLet's look at this one more way. Consider how Paul put this to the Philippians.<br>\n<br>\n<em>&quot;Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my\npresence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation\nwith fear and trembling. For it is God which <span class=SpellE>worketh<\/span>\nin you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.&quot;<\/em> (Philippians\n2:12-13)<br>\n<br>\nWork out your own salvation? <span class=SpellE>Huhh<\/span>? How do we do that?<br>\n<br>\nAgain it is quite simple. We permit the Word to do His work in us. We permit\nthe Word -- the Bread of Life, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself -- to reveal\nthings in our lives that need change, correction, modification, elimination,\netc. We permit the Blood of Jesus to finish the work of redemption, to destroy\ndeath, to rescue us from the Curse, to minister freedom from sickness, disease,\ninfirmity and weakness.<br>\n<br>\nAnd how do we permit the Word to do His work in us? How do we permit the power\nof the Blood of Jesus to accomplish His purpose? By eating at the Table of the\nLord! By eating of the bread and drinking of the cup. You see, there is nothing\ncommon about this. There is nothing ordinary about the broken bread and the cup\nof the Lord. There is a supernatural act that is designed into the very nature\nof the partaking.<br>\n<br>\nI've said this before and I'll say it again. My Roman Catholic brothers almost\nhave it right. Although they believe that the bread actually becomes the body\nof Jesus and the wine actually becomes His blood, that's not quite true, but\nalmost. There IS a supernatural thing taking place here. The bread and the wine\nare accomplishing in us -- as long as we permit it -- to do exactly what Jesus'\nbody took, and what His blood accomplished -- literally!<br>\n<br>\nThe key is, AS LONG AS WE PERMIT IT! There is a process taking place. Consider\nonce again the fact that Jesus gave us two ordinances -- specific commands --\nto keep as believers. The first, of course, was water baptism. Water baptism\n(when it is done by faith) establishes our legal basis as sons and daughters of\nGod, as heirs and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ, as having been freed from the\nLaw of Sin and Death.<br>\n<br>\nThe Table of the Lord, on the other hand, is the walking out of our freedom, the\npartaking of the substance of faith, the enabling in a practical sense of what\nJesus accomplished by His death and resurrection, the transforming of us from\ncorruptible (and corrupted!) beings to incorruptible. Each time we eat of the\nbread and each time we drink of the cup more of Jesus gets imparted and\nimplanted in our being and more change takes place in us.<br>\n<br>\nThis is where the Word of Truth becomes proven in us.<br>\n<br>\nRemember Paul's statement to Timothy? <em>&quot;[Make] yourself available to\nHim in the midst of the crucible, a tried and tested laborer who has no fear of\nbeing examined -- one who, by virtue of God's testing and the time spent in the\ncrucible with Him, knows the proven word of truth.&quot;<\/em><br>\n<br>\nWhen we permit God to do in us and accomplish in us what Jesus finished with\nHis suffering, His death and His resurrection we become systematically and\nmethodically transformed into a new creation. As a side note here, when we\nrepent of our sin, accept and acknowledge and confess Jesus Christ as our Lord\nand Savior, our spirits are instantly transformed. We spiritually become new.\nBut we are not only spirit-beings.<br>\n<br>\nCreated as triune beings, we are spirit, soul and body. Transformation begins\nin the spirit, but change must also come to our soul -- our mind, our thoughts,\nour thinking processes, our character and makeup, our identities. By the same\ntoken, change must come to our bodies as well. In case you hadn't noticed,\nJesus paid the price for our physical well-being also.<br>\n<br>\nThe apostle Paul expressed it like this. <em>&quot;And the very God of peace\nsanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be\npreserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.&quot;<\/em> (I\nThessalonians 5:23)<br>\n<br>\nSee the picture?<br>\n<br>\nWhat has happened throughout history is that the implications of the Table of\nthe Lord have become so watered down as to become a religious <span\nclass=SpellE>rite<\/span>, something &quot;we have to do,&quot; something that\nlacks force and power for change in us; in other words as Paul puts it: <span\nclass=SpellE><em>anaxios<\/em><\/span>: commonplace. That's the word that gets translated\nas &quot;unworthily.&quot;<br>\n<br>\nSo long as we treat the Table of the Lord as &quot;commonplace&quot; or as some\nreligious act, we not only do not receive the benefits Jesus intended for us to\nreceive by eating and drinking of Him, we eat judgment to ourselves. We are treating\nsomething that is holy -- something that is supernatural, something that has\nforce and power for change in us -- as expendable and unnecessary.<br>\n<br>\nAnd the result, as Paul notes, is that &quot;many are weak (<span class=SpellE><em>astheneo<\/em><\/span>:\ndiseased and impotent) and sickly (<span class=SpellE><em>arrhostos<\/em><\/span>:\nunhealthy) among you, and many sleep (<span class=SpellE><em>koimao<\/em><\/span>:\ndie [prematurely]).&quot;<br>\n<br>\nIt is time that God's people wake up and realize what they have available to\nthem in the Table of the Lord. How was it that Jesus put it?<br>\n<br>\n<em>&quot;Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of\nman, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.&quot;<\/em> (John 6:53)<br>\n<br>\nNow you're beginning to get the picture. Life -- <em>Zo\u00eb<\/em> life -- the\nlight, the life, the energizing force of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus is\nwhat we receive every time we partake at the Table of the Lord. Della and I do\nthis without fail every single day! And we do this with every single gathering\n-- both Sunday worship and teaching gatherings and Wednesday <span\nclass=SpellE>nite<\/span> Bible study gatherings -- at River Worship Center. And\nit is making a difference for everyone!<br>\n<br>\nOur youth is being renewed like the eagle's because Jesus is satisfying our\nmouth with good things. (Psalm 103:3-5) He heals all of our diseases, He\nredeems our life from the destruction that comes from the Curse, and He crowns\nus daily with His <span class=SpellE>lovingkindness<\/span> and His tender\nmercies. And it is all made available at the Table of the Lord.<br>\n<br>\nI repeat. There is nothing commonplace about the Lord's Table. Let me counsel\nyou to begin to eat of the Table of the Lord every single day. Don't do it\nbecause I say so. Do it as an act of faith. Use the Table of the Lord as a\npoint of contact between you and the supernatural impartation of life, health,\nstrength and wholeness given and made available to you by the Lord Jesus Christ.\nStop moaning and groaning about your aches and pains and begin taking advantage\nof the Bread of Life and the Cup of Blessing.<br>\n<br>\nI'll be back.<br>\n<br>\n<em>&quot;I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but\nChrist <span class=SpellE>liveth<\/span> in me: and the life which I now live in\nthe flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself\nfor me.&quot;<\/em> (Galatians 2:20)<br>\n<br>\n<strong>Be blessed!<\/strong><o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/p>\n\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> \n<div class=\"fusion-image-element fusion-image-align-left in-legacy-container\" style=\"text-align:left;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\" style=\"margin-right:25px;float:left;\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"121\" height=\"72\" title=\"Signature\" src=\"https:\/\/regnersmorningcoffee.com\/blogger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Signature.jpg\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-4230\"\/><\/span><\/div><div class=Section1>\n\n<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:\n.0001pt;line-height:normal'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:\"Book Antiqua\",\"serif\";\nmso-fareast-font-family:\"Times New Roman\";mso-bidi-font-family:\"Times New Roman\"'><o:p>&nbsp;<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:\n.0001pt;line-height:normal'>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:\n.0001pt;line-height:normal'>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:\n.0001pt;line-height:normal'>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:\n.0001pt;line-height:normal'>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:\n.0001pt;line-height:normal'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:\"Book Antiqua\",\"serif\";\nmso-fareast-font-family:\"Times New Roman\";mso-bidi-font-family:\"Times New Roman\"'>Regner\n  A.
