Grace Vineyard Christian Fellowship

Beloved Ones, I have told you that the old things must pass away first so that the NEW thing that I AM declaring can spring forth. I say, “new” not in the sense that it has never been done before, but rather in the sense that you have been unaccustomed to it…not “new’ as in recent in time, but “new” as to form, quality, and nature …FRESH…as in “new wine”.

New wine must be put into new wineskins…fresh containers…because of the fermentation that will occur. Fermentation is a chemical conversion into SIMPLER SUBSTANCES…THIS is what I AM referring to when I say that I AM declaring a NEW thing…I AM declaring the SIMPLICITY OF MY KINGDOM to prevail over the plans and traditions of man.

No one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled…the wine will be lost and the wineskins will be ruined. Man’s concept of “the church” cannot contain the outpouring of My Kingdom that is about to come. You cannot structure it, plan it, organize it, program it, or produce it in the natural. I AM looking for fresh vessels who will be pliable, flexible, and expandable in their trust of MY ability to make a road in the wilderness and a river in the desert…a way where there is no way and provision where there is no plan of man.

No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. I AM preparing new vessels for the outpouring of this new wine which is a fresh simplicity of My Kingdom without the trappings of man’s plans and traditions. No one who has drunk the old wine immediately desires the new for he says, “The old is good.” There will be those who resist the new thing I AM doing. Do not be one of them…neither an old wineskin nor a compromised “patchwork” of old and new will be able to contain what I AM about to pour out in the earth. Become those who are upheld by Me alone…those who trust in Me, delight themselves in Me, rest in Me, wait for Me, and glory in Me. These will be My chosen servants upon who I put My Spirit, and the ones who will be filled with the new wine of the Kingdom.
