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)

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

BE RESOLUTE

  For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. John 6:38 If you need to, you may; examine yourself and see, can the above statement be true of you or about you? Because in life you will face obstacles and challenges that will press and push you to extreme limit or out of measure to a breaking point [in despair of life, according to Apostle Paul]. These things happens in other to make you change course; but stand thou resolute.  Jesus said, persecutions will arise for the Word sake.  In Matthew 26:39, Jesus was praying "... O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." While on the cross, Jesus cried out, "... My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"  Well..., the Father didn't go anywhere, but the heat of the situation(s) make it look that way.  Enroute the promise land, there are a lot of obstacles; there is nothing easy about it. Sure the Devil makes it d...

Extremely Blessed!

A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. – Proverbs 17:8 If I could give you a gift this Christmas, the Word is what I'd give you. I'd rather give it to you than a check for a million dollars. Because you can run through a million dollars real quick, but the truth of God's Word never quits—and it will get you out of situations a million dollars can't get you out of. Ken and I are just ordinary people. But when we latched on to God's Word, we latched on to something out of the ordinary, something that changed our lives. Every area of our lives. Nothing that's happened to us has happened because of us. It's happened because of God's Word. In fact, I don't even have to know you to promise you this: If you'll give God's Word your full attention—and not be afraid of His will for your life—you're going to be happier and more prosperous than anything you could ever dream up. O...
