MY NEW WINE PEOPLE
AT
THE BRINK OF NEW BEGINNINGS
"I AM about to do a new thing, do you not perceive it?" Isaiah 43:19
"Are
we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? You
yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. You show that you are a letter from Christ,
the result of our ministry, written and with ink, but with the 'Spirit of the living God' not on tablets of stone but on tablets
of human hearts. Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. Not that we are competent in ourselves but our
competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit for
the letter kills but the Spirit gives life." 2 Cor 3:1-7
I have a people, a glorious people who believe that I
AM not yet done with the church or the world. A people who I have been preparing by My hand. A people who the religious say
are nobodies. A people who shall emerge from new wineskins pouring forth My new wine and multitudes shall be saved and you
will heal the sick, raise the dead and every form of miracle will be the order of the day. You are MY new wine people and
you are standing at the brink of your new beginnings.
My Beloved, My Glorious Beloved, you have had to run the gambit
of every emotion, every hurt and rejection that could be thrown your way. It's been a rocky road and even now many of you
wonder - will it ever come to pass? Many of you are struggling between holding on and letting go because you have had one
picture of your role in what I have ordained for you and you have hung onto it not realizing that I have moved you on to a
different role. Now you find that what I have for you is completely different from what you had previously envisioned. Everything
has changed and I AM THE ONE WHO CHANGED IT! But your "final destiny" always remains the same and My remnant shall come forth
in My Glory.
I have said that you would witness New Beginnings but still you struggle between holding on and letting
go. You want the new beginnings but you want to hang on to the familiar that you have known. That season is over and My New
Wine People, My Faithful Ones will let it go and celebrate the emergeance of new beginnings - realizing that you have just
learned a most valuable lesson - "To Deal with Endings."
Yes you are My New Wine people because you have allowed me
to work with those old wineskins, making them soft, subtle and pliable for My use. Allowing Me to execute changes in your
life, sometimes kicking and screaming all the way, but you always came around because you knew it had to be My way and in
My time.
Yes, the religious WILL say that you are nobodies. Yes, they WILL say that you have no credentials. Yes,
they WILL say that you have no titles ... and yes, they WILL reject you....
My Beloved, you have no need for a title
for you will work together "as one" with none being over another. No seeking of a title ... No seeking of man's recognition,
even that of like spirits and you have listened well for My Faithful Ones seek neither titles or recognition as you seek to
please only Me. Yes, the religious will say that you have no credentials, but what they don't understand is that I AM your
credentials. As Paul, you carry My credentials which are My attributes and My Love. Credentials? OH yes, you certainly carry
My credentials because you have been touched by the Spirit of the Living God. As Paul, you have suffered pain when your own
have rejected you. Your flesh often has responded with hurtful words and with anger, lashing out with the intent to hurt in
return. But now, My Glorious Beloved know that anger is not the answer and as My Son, you shall react with compassion and
forgiveness and know that everything that you have endured up to now has been preparing you for that which is to come. Credentials
to go about My Business??? It only requires MY CREDENTIALS.
The world is tired of the repetition and self glory of
the religious and inclines it's ear eagerly to hear from those I Am raising up for such a time as this. You, MY Beloved, YOU
without religious credentials and titles, YOU I shall raise up and the world WILL listen because they will understand what
you have to say. They will understand that you are the New Wine and that you speak their language and they shall be saved.
A world standing on the edge, awaiting My New Wine People, My remnant who shall come to them with My Full Gospel with signs,
wonders and miracles following.
Rise up, My Beloved, let the old excitement that you have felt previously begin to
rise again. The end of this arduous road is coming to an end and your new beginnings are in sight. For any who are hanging
on, My Beloved, let go.....you are not of this world or of the religious, you are Mine, My New Wine People and I have definitely
saved the best wine for last.
