If the Lord Himself is not the most precious to you, then a veil will come between Him and you, blocking your view of Him. This veil is the flesh.

In practical terms, it is the attachment of the flesh to something of earth- some human being, some material possession, or your profession, etc. It could even be the Bible itself that can become a hindrance to your knowledge of the Lord. Bible-knowledge that does not lead to a growing devotion to Christ is a deception. It will foster pride.

God is jealous of your spirit and seeks to preserve you in an exclusive love for Himself alone, for only then can you love others in a pure way. Otherwise even your love for others will be selfish.

When we break bread for communion, we remember that it pleased the Father to crush Jesus. Because Jesus fully submitted to the crushing, He crushed Satan completely.

The reason why many do not grow in the Christian life or become overcomers over Satan, is because they do not allow God to break their strong self-will, at the times when they are tempted. Keep God’s will your priority, and you will have Satan under your feet.

Personal Reflection:
What must you believe and remember when taking communion?
