“And no man puts new wine into old bottles; else the
new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.”
Luke 5:37-38
We are this
bottle. Jesus is telling us that we must have a capacity to hear a fresh
word from Him that is beyond our present understanding. We must have a
spiritual ear and capacity to hear fresh revelation and understanding, beyond
that which we heard in the past.
Throughout the
course of history, there have been specific times of intervention in which the
Lord used an individual to change the course of history. Examples of this
are Noah, Abraham, and Moses. These times of specific divine intervention
lifted mankind from one level of His workings and dealings to a higher level.
At this present time, the Lord is knocking on the door of our spirit, preparing us so He can again move in direct intervention, as we are approaching the time in which the Church Age will close, and we will move into the Millennial Kingdom Age.
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man
hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him,
and he with Me.” Revelation 3:20
“To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with Me in
My throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in His
throne.” Revelation 3:21
“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened
in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet
talking with me; which said, Come up here.... And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in
heaven, and One sat on the throne.” Revelation 4:1-2
These Scriptures
begin with Jesus knocking on the door of the Church and end with Him seated
with those who are overcomers, on the Throne in His Kingdom.
