Question: Why should a vision of God come before me when I was about to take the Communion at my church? Over. (Well, it’s just a lady’s name; yes, it’s a lady’s name,) A... Why should a vision of God come before me when I was about to take the Communion at my church?
131 Well, I wouldn’t know, sister, unless it was this: If you seen Jesus Christ appear in a vision at your church when you were taking the Communion, He was letting you know this: that you were taking Him in a symbol. The Communion is to represent the body of Jesus Christ; and you were taking Him as a symbol into your body. So live clean, and live pure.
132 Listen. If you take the Communion (you’ll hear it read just in a few minutes) when you’re unworthily, you’re guilty of the Blood and the Body of Jesus Christ. Let a man take that community live right before God, that takes that Communion, rather, live right before God. Don’t take it unworthily. That’s just...
133 Look. The Bible predicted in the last days that all the tables of God would be full of vomit. And there’d be nobody able to-to understand. Is that right? Look. I went not long ago into a great tabernacle. I wouldn’t call the name; you all know it all well. You know what they had for communion? They taken loaf bread, life bread, light bread, and sliced it up. And a bunch of deacons, which the preacher said seven of them were drunkards... That’s right. And every one of them, the whole bunch... You could see them as they went through the building talking to the people. And when the church was dismissed, at the end, between the Sunday school and church, pretty near every one, pastor and all, went out and smoked cigarettes on the outside, and come back in and taken the Lord’s Communion. God said that He would not hold you guiltless for that. “And many are sick and weakly among you, and many are dead.” That’s right.
134 Said, “All the tables of God is full of vomit, and who will I be able to teach doctrine.” He said, “For precept must be upon precept, line upon line, and here a little and there a little. Hold fast to that what’s good. For with stammering lips and other tongues will I speak to this people, and this is the rest that I said would be here, but with all this they’d wag their heads and walked away and say, ‘We will not hear it.’” Look where we’re living, friends. Oh, mercy! Wake up!
135 Yes, your vision, Sister... If you’re a good, clean, holy woman before God, you were standing there and Jesus was letting you know that He was giving the Communion, that you were taking Him in there as a symbol; and if you’re not, as a warning to you to get right with God before you do it again.
