This moment in time, we are
going to discuss a very fundamental revelation; and this is about the New wine
and its significance to the dispensation that mankind is now living at in the
earth right now. The LORD God Almighty, The LORD Jesus Christ and The Holy
Spirit is going to help us understand the deeper spiritual meaning of: “The New
Wine”.
It is very important to note
that the term “wine” is normally used in the Bible to refer to The Holy
Spirit-filled Church; the pure and holy church that is walking on the narrow
road of The LORD. This is the road of; humility before The LORD, Obedience
before The LORD, The road of Repentance, The road of Righteousness, The road of
Holiness, The road of truth, The road of Complete Surrender to The LORD Jesus
Christ.
So, we will go to the book of Mathew
9:17 which states as follows: "Neither do people pour new wine
into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and
the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both
are preserved."
From the above, you will note
that The LORD is essentially saying that an old way of doing things cannot
contain a Great move of The LORD. So there has to be a revival, whereby
purification and cleansing takes place in order for the Great move of The LORD
to be able to be accommodated and contained. That brings us to the questions:
What is this old way of doing things? And what is This Great Move of The LORD?
The old way of doing things is
the sinful nature of living, whereby the soul, the mind, the heart and the body
was being influenced and controlled by sinful desires and nature e.g. drinking
alcohol, smoking cigarettes (cocaine, bhang, heroine etc), sexual immorality,
idolatry, gossiping, lies, witchcraft, devil worship, theft, murder (including
abortion), pride etc. This old way of doing things is characterized by the Old
wine skin (The sinful soul, spirit, mind, heart and body) that was only fit
enough for the Old Wine (which is the sinful way of living).
The LORD is thus essentially
saying therein to each and every person everywhere, that the moment for His
Great Move has now arrived. The moment when The LORD now wants to pour the New
Wine upon Purified Vessels. This New Wine is the fresh and the very powerful
Great move of The LORD through the outpour of The Holy Spirit upon the purified
vessels. Who are these purified vessels?
These purified vessels are
them who have now submitted themselves to The LORD in Repentance,
Righteousness, Holiness, Truth and Complete Surrender to The LORD Jesus Christ.
The LORD has thus now purified and continues to purify them by washing them
with the blood of The LORD Jesus Christ and has passed them and continues to
pass them through The Holy Fire, so as to Refine them like silver and has fully
tested them like gold and continues to test them. This is well stated in the
book of Zechariah 13: 8-9 which states as follows: ‘“In the whole
land," declares The LORD, “two-thirds will be struck down and perish; yet
one-third will be left in it. This third I will put into the fire; I will
refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and
I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people, ’and they will say, ‘The
LORD is our God.’”
So, these purified vessels
having availed themselves and having now been made ready by The LORD, they have
now become The New Wine skin upon whom, The New Wine can now be outpoured onto.
Just as we noted earlier, the New Wine is the fresh and the very powerful Great
move of The LORD through the outpour of The Holy Spirit upon the purified
vessels, and thus leading to the Great Move of The LORD culminating into an
explosion of Revival across various places.
The result of this
purification of the vessels and then followed by the outpour of The New Wine
upon the Purified Vessels is what The Servant of The LORD Joel foresaw coming
to the earth. This is stated in the book of Joel of 2:28-29 which states
as follows: “…...And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your
young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will
pour out my Spirit in those days.”
To help us further understand
this phenomenal of New Wine signifying a new dispensation, whereby the old way of
doing things now gives way to The Great move of The LORD, let’s go to the book
of John 2: 1-11 which states as follows: '"On the third day a
wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and
his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone,
Jesus’ mother said to him, "They have no more wine." "Woman, why
do you involve me?" Jesus replied. "My hour has not yet come." His
mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." Nearby stood
six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each
holding from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, "Fill
the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them,
"Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They
did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned
into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who
had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, "Everyone
brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests
have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now." What
Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he
revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him."'
From the above scripture, we
find that the moment had arrived when The New Wine from The LORD was now to be
poured onto the vessels. For the New Wine to be poured, the old wine had to be
"No More" (Gone/Finished). This means that the old wine had to be
cleared to give room for the Great move of The LORD via The New Wine. Remember
that the water had thus to be poured onto the vessels so as to purify and
cleanse them and thus change them into the New Wineskin; and only then was the
New Wine poured; by the water being changed into wine. This New Wine tasted
much better than The Old Wine; meaning that This New Wine was on a higher level
of anointing, since it was as a result of The Great Move of The LORD, It’s
impact was thus greater.
It is very important to note
that this New Wine when it is poured, it reveals the glory of The LORD. Even
the faith of people increases to a higher level because when this New Wine is
poured, miracles happen in the name of The LORD and people even get healed and
delivered from diseases and bondages. The captives are thus set free from the
chains of bondages that have so far entangled them. That’s why it is stated in
the book of John 2:11 which states as follows: "What Jesus
did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he
revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him."
It is also very important to
note that in The End-times (the last days) which we are currently living in,
there are many crises of spiritual, political, social and economic &
financial nature. But because of the precious status of the purified Vessels
upon whom The LORD has poured The New Wine, The LORD gives very strict
instructions that they be protected. That’s why the book of Revelation 6:5-6
states as follows: '"When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard
the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me
was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I
heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying,
"Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a
day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"'
The moment for the New Wine
upon the New Wineskin is thus a moment for a new beginning, the moment to
refresh. This is thus the moment (the dispensation) that if you partake of The
New Wine, then it will turn out to be a moment (a period/year/dispensation) of
The LORD’s favour upon those who submit to The LORD to become the purified
Vessels upon whom The New Wine can be poured. These are eventually ushered into
the Glorious Kingdom of The LORD God Almighty in Heaven.
The favour of The LORD thus
rests upon them who open their hearts to partake of The New Wine being poured
out by The LORD upon them (The New Wineskins). For they will have submitted
themselves for purification and cleansing, to become Purified Vessels who can
now then partake of The New Wine. This is very powerfully captured in the book
of Isaiah 61:1-3 which states as follows: "The Spirit of the
Sovereign LORD is on me, because The LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news
to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom
for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the
year of The LORD’s favour and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all
who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown
of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment
of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of
righteousness, a planting of The LORD for the display of his splendor."
