Mega"church" "pastor" Joseph Prince needed to sell some books. That meant, he needed to come up with some new gimmick. After failing to come up with anything original, he just decided to pervert the Lord's Supper with prosperity-gospel superstition and idolatry. Poof! Like that we have a new book telling us how the secret to be health and healing is in taking the Lord's Supper every day.

"I believe that the Lord gave me a mission to teach on the health-giving, life-imparting, healing power of the Communion," Prince said, explaining on why he wrote the book about a sacrament that some believers only partake of once a week or once a month, if at all. "I want them to know beyond a shadow of any doubt that God wants them healed, whole and well."
Prince calls Communion the "proverbial 'fountain of youth' mankind has been in search of for generations" and "is more powerful than any medicine, antibiotic, or medical procedure." He believes it can be the difference between life and death. He shares testimonies of people throughout the book who have been healed by the power of Holy Communion.

But it gets worse...
And Prince says he witnessed the power of Communion while writing his book. His six-year-old son, Justin, had two skull fractures and was bleeding and throwing up after he fell from a high place on the playground during recess. When the doctors said all they could give him was painkillers, Prince and his wife, Wendy, partook communion with their second-grader at the hospital.
"The amazing this was, we could literally see him getting better and better each time we partook," Prince said. "Every time we had Communion with Justin, his headaches got less painful, to the point when he told us he would rather just partake of the Communion that to take the painkillers that the doctors had given him!"
He encourages anyone who hasn't been healed or seen any changes to keep going - and believing.
"Don't give up. No matter what diagnosis you might have received from your doctor, keep filling your heart with scriptures," Prince said. "Keep listening to messages about the Lord's finished work and partaking of the Communion."
What is even more frustrating is that you have a major news outlet promoting this garbage."The amazing this was, we could literally see him getting better and better each time we partook," Prince said.
