In Communion with the Living God...

In a world that consumes, how can we have 'holy' communion with the living God? Firstly, that holy communion is simply a relationship with Him, one to one by the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ died and rose and departed for this very reason. That He by His death on the cross tore the curtain between man, the creation, and God, the Creator.

Now, we having accepted this Truth, the Good News, Jesus Christ, who lived, died was buried and resurrected so that we can be delivered from the law of sin and death, who now lives in us by the power of the Holy Spirit, we can overcome this fallen world.

Indeed God, who knows the heart (fallen: sinful and wicked), showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us ~ Acts 15:8. And because of that, we can have 'holy' communion with the Creator through the Holy Spirit; and, in fact He wants that and He wants it every minute of the day.

Back to the question...someone might say that its difficult to not consume. After all, its a fallen world and we must consume at least food and energy daily in order to sustain the life we have. But, does not God know every hair on our head ~ Matthew 10:30. For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you ~ 2 COR 9:10.

Now, that does not mean we can be gluttons, or wasters of any kind or careless in all we do. Yes, indeed all things are permissible but not all things edify. You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is good for you. You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is beneficial ~  1 COR 10:23.  

Why? Because, the Creator wants us to worship Him; and above all, to love Him first with all our heart, soul, mind and strength ~ Mark 12:30 and we are to love our neighbor as we love ourselves so... I don’t just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved ~ 1 COR 10:33. 

In this way, we are in communion with the living God! Doing His Will so that His Kingdom comes in its entirety.
