One of my greatest encounters in the "Miracle of CommunionFire"

It was 2014 during a CommunionFire encounter with Jesus while having Communion with my wife Camille in our home. Dining with the Lord upon the bread He calls His flesh, therefore so do I, I saw Jesus in a n octagonal library room that for some reason made me think is this what the rooms in the Library of Congress look like? It was austere and made of 8 walls and a doorway, probably a study room for privacy from the public. Perhaps 10-12 feet high and at 10oclock from where I saw the Lord, the door was open inviting sunlight from another entry/exit door to the outdoors. The light cascaded down the steps probably because the sun was just where it needed to be.

As I took drink of the wine that had become His precious blood, again through the miracle He invites us all to participate in, I felt the fire of His passion transfusing into my bloodstream to quicken me to become the righteousness of God in Christ.  He had become sin for me that I might become a partaker of His divine nature. 

As I waited for a moment I saw coming from the staircase a scroll surfing on the rays of light from the sunbeam. As it entered the room above our heads it unfurled and out fell the person of a young woman. She stood next to her Son Jesus and Jesus introduced me to His Mother, the Holy Virgin Mary! 

About 5 Months later the same vision repeated itself as Camille and I share the Table of the Lord together.  It was early morning and this time from the scroll came Saint Peter, Saint Ephraim of Syria, Holy Mother Mary and Saint Joseph. As they stood with Jesus across from me, Mary spoke to me directly for the very first time. She looked at me and with a gentle smile in a soft and caring voice said, "Bob, be bold." That was it and I felt almost translated into a new dimension of faith. About 8 months later I began to go on an evening prayer walk to pray the Rosary. That was almost 3 years ago now on June 20th 2015 and I still take my evening prayer walks praying the Rosary every night. I have to say of a truth, I now know my Savior more personally and intimately because I have met His Mother who now has become my Mother in Christ and my Queen of heaven who is preparing the Bride for her Son. 

Rooted & Grounded in Love: The 3 Windows

3/2/2016

There were no angels that I could see, no Jesus, no Mother Mary, no Saints and no Heaven. Was I losing my mind? The attack was constant. Afterwards I knew the Lord was fighting for me and perhaps St Raphael. Unseen heavenly forces were battling forces of darkness behind my anxieties, fears and humanity. No sleep for days and no taste for food. Had it not been for the windows I had no point of reference.

Before the big operation I was recovering from a small stent operation. When this happened it was determined I needed open heart surgery immediately. Ugh!

Between operations, Camille told me this morning that I was a little bit funny before going in for the big operation. 

I told my son (who had come from London) and my daughters (who came down from Maryland) in a Jersey accent, "God is making cookies in the bottom of my heart!" None of us knew what that meant but somehow it struck a chord to relieve the tension.

New Year's Eve or Day , it was time for the open heart surgery.

Afterwards ​I was in ICU for several days. During that ​time, I had a life and death fight with the enemy of my soul. It was a fight to keep faith alive. The enemy was literally trying to 'steal my faith'. More precisely, hell was trying to discredit CommunionFire. At the height of the battle I only remember one thing clearly...

I saw 3 windows. 

It was brief, but this image stayed with me even after the fog cleared. Can't say that the vision was from the Lord or just a product of the anesthesia, sleeplessness and hunger. Somehow I knew the windows I saw, laying on the floor, were deposited by heaven to give me a visual anchor and a moment of peace. Can't explain it, but it happened! 


The three windows were offset a bit but stacked one upon the other on the floor (not physically but in my mind's eye. Here's what I think they represented for me. Again, can't say this is from the Holy Spirit but think the Lord may be involved. 

The 1st Window: was covered by a dirty haze. 
It covered the windows and made it possible for light to come in but impossible to see outside. (I think this was like my life before I realized the power of God's grace and glory! When Jesus said, "It is finished!" it was! But he enemy kept the fullness of this truth from being realized. The evil one kept reimposing the Law and thereby my need to deal with sin.) Fact: Jesus already took care of that but this distraction kept me from the revelation of "Jesus full of grace and truth."

The 2nd Window: was covered by self-adhesive, plastic, faux stained glass! 
It was a cheap imitation and again allowed light to come in but veiled my ability to see outside. (I think this was my life when I wasn't aware that Communion was a gift meant to bring us into a real encounter with Jesus. to really taste His love.) I may have had Communion once in awhile, but it was just a good healthy religious exercise! 

The 3rd Window: was of clear glass! 
This window let me me see outside! Then it opened to see without glass! (I think this is the reality that the enemy was trying to obscure with the other two. What we experience in CommunionFire is real! It is its own mission, message and ministry. We are participants. We do encounter Jesus. We do 'hear' His message - His voice. When we do it happens individually and then we share about it with each other. 

I think Jesus really wants us to continue that personal relationship with Him. The moment we were born again the relationship begins. I believe now that It continues in the way He provided. "Do this to remember Me" (to "not forget about me" - to "keep our relationship going!") 

He paid the ultimate price so that we could experience this miracle as often as we hunger and thirst for Him. Seek first the King and His Kingdom and everything else will be taken care of! How? Communion Where? At His Table!   ​​

While writing this post I received this unsolicited note from a friend...

"Camille lovingly, graciously rebuked my fears and doubts and said, 'Remember!' I have never met Camille-we're not even fb friends, but I love this sister through your love for her...and her love for you.

I hadn't taken communion in nearly 20 years, feeling as though I was unworthy, while that is true, I know now that it was the enemy successfully keeping me from this most intimate act of love and obedience. I began reading your posts and then your book and was moved to once again dine with my Savior.

Keep writing, Bob. You are making a difference. Love in Christ!"

    For 40 Years Jesus dined with me at my table... Then I dined with Him at His Table. Dining with Jesus every day has eternal benefits! 16 Journals later...
