The
Power of Communion: Receiving the Favor of God
Pastor Gregory M. Dickow
Dear Friend,
The favor of God…it’s an amazing
power that’s available to God’s children…yet sadly, it is a
power that too many of us live without.
Now it’s important to understand that the favor of God does not mean that
your life is Dear Friend,
never going to be unfair. What the favor of God does mean is that
when life is unfair, God is going to turn the situation around and what has
been unfair is going to turn to your advantage.
The favor of God means that when you are at a disadvantage, God is
going to give you the advantage. When you are on the brink of defeat
and failure, favor means that God is going to turn it around and give
you the victory…God’s favor means that He is going to give you success! If
you are like me, you need some of that supernatural favor in your life!

Knowing what God’s favor is leaves us with one
big question—how can we enjoy His favor on our lives? I’m
glad that God doesn’t leave us hanging…He gives us the clear
answer in His Word.
Acts 2 tells us the story of the early Church, what they did and how God blessed them. Acts 2:47 says they had favor
with God. That’s what we want. So how did they get it? They
“continued daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking
bread from house to house.” That’s not talking about
eating a meal, it’s talking about communion.
Now maybe you weren’t raised to think of communion this way. But what
God is saying here is that when you drink the cup and take the bread, you are
pouring His favor and blessing into your life! Let me share some
exciting stories of what has happened for
people who heard this teaching on the subject of communion and decided to put it into practice in their lives.
Healing
My foot was injured over 2 years ago. The tendon was stretched until it was ready to rupture. The doctor wanted to operate. I was in so much pain that
I was ready for the
doctor to cut or do whatever needed to be done to stop the excruciating pain. I
came to church and you led the congregation in receiving communion. After we
finished taking communion, I sat down and felt these tingling sensations in my
foot. After service, I walked out of the service without any pain!
I had suffered excruciating pain for several months, but after taking
communion, my foot was healed!
Marlene
Financial
Like many other companies, mine was laying several
people off. However, my husband and I sowed seeds and took communion for divine favor for my
job. In the midst of the layoffs, I received a promotion!
I also received that same week a monetary award from my boss.

Communion Released Favor in My Situation & Everything Turned Around!
Recently, I was set to close on my first home. My lawyer called me saying
I needed to bring $5000 to pay for closing costs. I was shocked because
I wasn’t expecting to pay this much. I told him
I didn’t have $5000. He responded that I had to bring
this amount to close. After I hung up, I decided to take
communion and declared that I would receive
favor in the situation. In a short amount of time, my lawyer called me
back saying that they somehow worked it out in my favor and all I
needed to bring to the closing was $40! By the time
I arrived to the closing later that day they had made more adjustments and I
was issued a check for the
balance that was left over! Thank you for teaching us about the miraculous
power of communion, had you not taught me I
would not have known how to respond in this situation.
Mark
Healed of Migraine Headaches and Epilepsy
Since I was quite young, I’ve
been having migraine headaches, and in addition to that, approximately seven years ago, was diagnosed with epilepsy. I
would experience a grand mal seizure. There were times that
I would have several episodes in a day; and while the episodes were not
painful, it was obvious they created a great deal of stress. After
listening to your teaching on communion, the exercise of eating and drinking the
bread and the juice
became more than just a ritual; it was an encounter with God. A couple of
things that Pastor Dickow said were, “It’s not the repetition or how often you take
communion, but it’s the confidence in it,” and “When we recognize who Christ is, He
will tell us who we are.” I took communion with you, and I literally felt a
physical sensation in my head. As strange as it sounds, I felt as though my
brain was being warmly massaged, and immediately, I knew
I had been touched by the Lord. I WAS HEALED! There wasn’t
a doubt in my mind that the Lord had touched me and healed me
at that very moment. Since that time, I haven’t had so much as a hint of a headache. The
migraines are GONE, the seizures are GONE, and my epilepsy medication is GONE.
Cindy Declared Not Guilty
I was going through the emotions of guilt and frustration on a
particular sin I committed against God. I
prayed and asked God for forgiveness, but I
just kept on thinking God had not forgiven me. That evening when I was overwhelmed with all these thoughts, Pastor
Dickow's teaching on The Holy Communion came up on TBN and my mum and I broke
bread with Pastor Dickow. I can remember at the end, a word came from Pastor Dickow, "the
Lord declares you NOT GUILTY," and from that time on, I felt God’s love for me
and He totally cleansed me of that sin and its consequences. PRAISE THE LORD!

These are just a few of the hundreds of people we’ve heard from who’ve
put this teaching on communion into practice. It works because it is
based solely on the promises of God, which always
come true. And I want to share the full details of this teaching with you.
When you sow a gift of $40 or more into the ministry this month by clicking
here or on the product below, I
will send you:
- A onemonth supply of communion elements to help you establish the habit of
receiving communion a part of your daily lifestyle.
- The Power of Communion: Receiving the Favor of God message on CD or tape.
- A Communion prayer card. Many people have called or written wanting the
words of the prayer I use when I lead people to receive communion on our
television show.
- The DVD of our TV show titled “The Power of Holy Communion” where
I teach you oneon one on the meaning and power of communion.
Take the first step toward unleashing the power of
God’s favor in your life today by learning the power of communion. I encourage
you to take communion today over a situation where
you don’t feel God has turned to your favor. Then that situation will change
because God has a bloodbought oath to show you His favor through His precious
body and through His precious blood. I want you to expect it today!
The testimonies I shared with you earlier in this letter are not the
experiences of a privileged few…their experience can be
yours today! Favor works for anybody. A toaster works for a good person and a
bad person. The toaster works because
you plug the cord in the electrical outlet and rely on its power, not
because of anything special or holy about you.
In the same way, when you plug into the favor of God through the
blood and body of Jesus by taking communion, it begins to work for you.
I am so excited to share these truths with you. When you begin to view taking
communion in this new way and see God’s favor
begin to flow, everything turns around! What has been painful
becomes helpful; what has been sadness becomes joyous; what has
been dark becomes light; and what has been failure becomes success.
