Coming Restoration

LUKE 5:36–38
And he [Jesus] spake also  a parable unto them; No man putteth a  piece of a new garment upon an old; if  otherwise, then both the new maketh a  rent, and the piece that was taken out of  the new agreeth not with the old. 37 And  no man [no man!] putteth new wine into old bottles [or wineskins]; else the new  wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled,  and the bottles shall perish. 38 But new  wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.

You must understand the illustration Jesus is using. These wine “bottles” were made of skin. Once wine was put into them, they would swell up and change shape.  As the skin became old, it became brittle, and if wine were put into an old skin, it would burst. Therefore, they would renew those old wineskins. First, they’d soak them in water for a long time. Second, they’d take olive oil and rub it into the  skin until it became soft and pliable again. Then the skins were like new again; they could put new wine into them and they wouldn’t burst.
Jesus was saying that individuals, local churches, or denominations often are just like those wineskins: old, empty, dead, and brittle. How can we be soaked in water to be renewed? Paul, talking about the Church, said in Ephesians 5:26, “That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word.” Washing of water by the word! So there must be a fresh saturation of the Word of God. And in these latter times, God has raised up the teaching ministry for this very purpose. Many of us, praise God, have been saturated with the Word of God. Others need to be. Unless they are, they’ll never be able to hold the new wine. We know that after they soaked skins in water, they rubbed olive oil into them until they became soft and pliable.Oil is a type of the Holy Spirit! The Psalmist said,  “.  .  .I shall be anointed  with fresh oil” (Ps. 92:10). Fresh oil!  That’s what we need today: a fresh anointing of oil—the Holy Spirit—and its  coming!
Hallelujah!!! (Coming Restoration)

Press In

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.... – Colossians 3:16 Things in this old world aren't getting any better, and in recent times, the Holy Spirit has been speaking an urgent message to my heart. He's been saying, Press in. Draw in to a more intimate relationship with your heavenly Father. If you don't, you won't make it. If you do, you will see more glorious outpourings of God than you can imagine. That message isn't just for me. It's also for you—and for every other believer on the earth today. We are in the last of the last days of this age. Jesus is coming soon. It's an exciting time, but it's also a dangerous time. Those who don't do what the Spirit says, who don't press in to the Lord, are going to go from disaster to disaster. But those who do will defeat the disasters and turn them into glory, in Jesus' Name! Your first step in drawing closer to God is to realize that you know God first in His Word. Time spent meditating i...

Choose To Forgive

"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors... For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:" Matt. 6:12;14. The Scripture admonish us to forgive not just debts, offenses, etc. In Isa. 43:25 God had to forgave us for His own sake, meaning each time we have unforgiveness in our heart, it limit the flow of the anointing which is the power of God at work in us. Many think they are perfect, but non is perfect and sinless before God, except by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, which is by grace. 1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." it does not matter the personality, not even Peter, James and John could claim righteousness without Jesus Christ and the blood. So we don't have examples to pattern after except Jesus Christ, He is the RIGHTEOUS (1John 2:1). We must be mindful, man will always want to make himself the pattern for others to follow after, like ...
