You allowed Your only Son to literally be poured out so that we could be in a fully restored relationship with You. Thank You, Jesus, for giving your blood. Jesus and His followers used wine and unleavened bread, but it is simplest to use grape juice and whatever bread or crackers you have available. (You can even use water.) What’s important is focusing on the meaning of this spiritual symbol. Aside from spiritual reasons, a practical reason to take communion at home is to teach your kids more about it.
You can also just buy regular wine and water it down, just put water in it and dilute the alcohol pretty much out of it, and use that. It's still fruit of the vine, it's still wine that can be used for the same purpose. You are taking communion at home because you are UNABLE to receive communion at a local church. When there is strife, division, self-centeredness going on when people are taking communion, then they bring the judgment of God upon them.
Who can give communion?
Like baptism, communion is a spiritual symbol and reminder of what Jesus has done. But it holds power not only as a symbol, it also reminds us to invite the Holy Spirit to examine our lives and to continue to do His work of washing us by the grace of Jesus. Maria, you might want to check out Andrew Womack Ministries online.
And, how he spared their lives in so many ways. This Sunday morning I wrote down on a beautiful note card the PRAYER AND DECLARATION FOR AFTER YOU TAKE COMMUNION. I dated it July 24, 2022, and I shall take the 40-day challenge starting today. I read most of the comments from many others, and I like the one that we might want to take the challenge from now until Christmas Day. I expect to have a testimony in my life, Pastor Jamie.
How to Lead Communion in Your Home
I am a living testimony of the power of Gods word and healing. Also, Sid roth, Supernatural is another good resource). You need to understand God does not put sickness on you, that comes from the enemy. As Christian’s we have been given authority over all the power of the enemy. I hope you check out these resources, and make sure you are attending a church that is holy spirit filled and believes healing is for today. Communion is a holy time set aside to remember Jesus’ sacrifice for us – His broken body and His shed blood.
Paul explained it , you must examine yourself . How does a 1 yr old examine himself ! Disrespectful to say the least . Maria, the book is called Gods creative power for healing. That’s why I encourage people who are right with God to go ahead and take communion at home, just between you and God.

Communion should also involve personal reflection. It’s a time to examine our relationship with the Lord and with others. If you have kids, this is a great time to introduce them to communion and take time to really explain why we do this.
I’ll report again any outcomes He supplies. Thank you Jamie for this teaching. I want to take communion at home, since our church is closed for now, but I don’t have grape juice or juice of any kind. And since we all limit our shopping these days I was wondering if water or some other beverage is acceptable. I hope this article helps you in administering communion at home.
Mike explains how to obtain and use the elements for taking the Lord's Supper when you are not able to meet at the church building.
But, it is really nice to have an open Bible from what you read the Scriptures as you present communion. Please feel free to print this up and use it at home if you so desire. You can use a single cup from which each person drinks. Or, you can use separate cups that you have prepared beforehand. The Lord told Moses to apply the blood of the Passover lambs on the Israelite’s doorposts so they would be spared from the deadly plague.
He broke His body and poured Himself out so that, if we believe, we can have a relationship with Him forever. As Jesus speaks of breaking the bread, break your communion in half as a group. As Jesus says, “Take and Eat”, encourage everyone in the room to partake together.
We are to remember the sacrifice that was given for our right standing with God and the wholeness that He brings. You lose out on the awareness that Jesus not only sacrificed His life for you, but you lose out on the opportunity to proclaim that sacrifice to others. There is also no evidence of musical instruments being played in the New Testament during a church service, but that doesn’t mean that there weren’t or that instruments were forbidden. It just says that there was nothing recorded about it. There were plenty of references to musical instruments being played in the Old Testament. There is no recorded instance of communion being partaken of alone.
Likewise you don’t need to use unleavened bread. However when I’m taking communion I prefer the inexpensive Matzo crackers for taking communion. But if you would like to try making some tasty unleavened bread for fun, here is a delicious easy recipe. The second step in taking communion at home is to distribute grape juice, wine or just some water, if nothing else is available. Jesus used wine to symbolize His blood. Grape juice and water is okay, if necessary.
