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...

The Needful or Obvious Pt.1

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. - Luke 10:41-42. Nobody just happened, we are created for specific purpose. Everybody cannot be head, or leg, or hand etc., each and everyone most identify their place and stay there, thus makeup the body system. The leg cannot say the hand is not performing its functions adequately, as a result, he will take its functions over. The leg would be led by the obvious and abuse its own purpose instead, why? He was not created to perform the function of the hand. When these things are properly understood, it will help us to gain speed towards the fulfillment of our purpose. Everyone will give account of his or her stewardship, when the time comes, what will be your report, when all that you have been doing is the obvious(somebody else's assignment), and ignoring yours or ...
