John 20:21

Today we see many places that have run dry of spiritual wine and are running on water. As I read the scriptures this morning I was impressed by the Holy Spirit that this was a time to pray that God’s vine be tapped into and release His presence in our lives and our churches.

Where is the raising of the dead, the healing miracles, the deliverances that were common in the time of Jesus and occasionally through the years. We need to hunger for new wine to be put into new wine skins that we may overflow with God’s passion in our lives.

This is not a season to lay back and wish but to actively pursue His presence like never before. Many of us have had set backs that have slowed us down or put out the fire of God in our lives.

Today, it is time to not look back on failures in our walk with God but rather to stir up our loins to press in and drink the new wine which is better than what was first served.

There is new life waiting to come upon us and with His anointing, it will prepare us to be a Holy people set apart for His glory to be upon us and work through us.

Revive the ancient wells, stir up your gifting and release yourselves to a world that is hungry for the new wine.

You are worthy enough, strong enough, and capable enough regardless of your possessions.

You don’t need the newest all-in-one makeup kit to make yourself look beautiful, because you already are. The new ‘bootylicious’ yoga pants aren’t needed; you’re already rocking it!

But you need to look even further for who you really are. And to see who this is, look inside. All of the most beautiful aspects of you are right there. It’s your personality, your interests, and your weird little quirks that make you, you. You’re entirely unique; not just different by the jeans you wear or the perfume you use, but by the characteristics that you were born with, and have had all along. So the next time you see another misleading advertisement, just walk away, because you know that you truly already have everything.
