Why is it when I have communion at church and I participate in it, is when satan attacks me. I was clean from pornography going on 3 weeks. I had communion at church this past sunday. On Monday for some reason I had the temptation to go and watch porn, and of course I did. It just bothers me so much that I'm that weak hearted and get sucked into worldly things so easily. I think I need Heavy Prayer! Especially from my addiction to porn. Yes i said it, I'm an addict. Sad to say!
If i can get some prayer from all of my Brothers and sisters in Christ I would gladly appreciate it! I need to get right with Christ. I want to strengthen my Faith!

Do you know what a covenant is? We have a covenant with GOD through JESUS. This covenant puts you on a plane of being that is far higher than most Christians know. You must learn covenant. Who you are in the anointing. What your rights are. What belongs to you. etc. And what your responsibilites are.
Look.....
1 Corinthians 11:28-30 (King James Version)
28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29For he that eateth and drinketh in an unworthy manner, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
30For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
Do you know what unworthily is? To take communion in an unworthy manner is to judge yourself wrongly. Many Christians pray before communion to make themselves worthy. But they are already worthy. JESUS made us so. The pray "Oh God forgive me. I'm just an old sinner...." Wrong!! Christians are not sinners. We were sinners but we got saved.
So then how should we judge ourselves?
When the first Passover was instituted, God instructed Moses to kill a lamb, to spread the blood over the door, and then roast lamb and eat all of it. Any that remained was to be burned away. That sacrificial lamb was completely consumed! Jesus as the Lamb of God was the supreme sacrifice, under the Abrahamic covenant. When you partake of His sacrifice, do not take only part of it, take it all. Consume it completely! When you receive the Lord's supper do so like the children of Israel Exodus 12:11 says “And thus shall you eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your stuff in your hand, and you shall eat it in haste: it is the Lord's Passover.” The children of Israel were ready to go. They ate in faith. They were ready to receive their deliverance before they ate
No matter what you may be faced with—sin, sickness, drugs, a weight problem, worry, stripes, old habits -- you may be delivered through properly receiving the Lord's supper. The body and blood of Jesus covered every area of your existence. By discerning his body and judging yourself before him, you can receive your deliverance. Place yourself before God and receive communion as the children of Israel did- ready to receive deliverance.
Like this. You proclaim over yourself and yours. "
“Father God in the name of Jesus, I recognize that I have a covenant with you -- a covenant that was ratified by the shed blood of Jesus at Calvary.
Because of the fact that Jesus’ body was broken for me, that His blood was shed in my behalf, I knowledge that He bore sin, sickness, disease, sorrow, grief, fear, torment, unforgiveness, strife and lack for me. Through His substitutionary sacrifice, I have complete redemption, total deliverance from the works of Satan.
As a new creation in Christ Jesus, I realize my freedom has been bought and paid for. I am forgiven. I am redeemed. I give thanks for it all in Jesus name.”
Father in the name of Jesus, I examine my heart, and I judge myself according to the authority of your Word.
In areas where I have missed the mark (strife, unforgiveness, jealousy, envy, hatred, and a covetousness, fear, worry, unbelief, etc.) I take Jesus as our advocate and high priest. I ask forgiveness according to the Word of God. 1John 1:9. You Word says you are faithful and just to forgive me, when I confess my sins and cleanse me from all unrighteousness.
Therefore, I do not eat of the bread, or drink of the cup unworthily, I rightly discern the Lord's body. I receive communion now as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I am free from the works of Satan -- spirit, soul and body. Then say this: “The Lord Jesus, the same night in which You were betrayed you took bread: and when You had given thanks, You broke it, and said, ‘take eat this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me’ ” 1Corinthians 11:23 -- 24
You are proclaiming your freedom from sin and death. Its your covenant right.
Then you judge (proclaim) the other part.
"
Now make this confession.
Father I give you thanks for all You have provided for me in Christ Jesus. I confess this day I am the blessed of the Lord. This covenant I entered into at the new birth is a covenant filled with the exceeding great and precious promises of God, and I am a partaker of those promises now!
I am healed. I am redeemed. I am delivered from the authority of darkness. I am translated into the kingdom of God's dear Son. I am the head and not the tail. I’m above and not beneath. I come behind it no good thing. All that I set my hands to prosperous, and I praise you"
See? You are proclaiming freedom for you and yours by your words. You are speaking life and power into your life. Not sickness and death.
The cool thing is that you don't have to wait to take communion once a month at church. You can take communion daily at home. You can take communion hourly until you can see and taste covenant with God. Until you know that you know that you know who you are in HIM and you'll just naturally come against the enemy and send him packing.
