Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”  Matthew 9.17

The Lord wants to treat each person as a wineskin, a utensil for holding wine. This is one of the reasons that man needs a new birth, a work done in his spirit (John 3.1-6). After Adam’s sin, everyone was born dead to God – separated from Him (Ephesians 2.1-3). However, when we accept Jesus as Savior, our spirit is recreated in Him. Without this experience, no one receives the anointing of the Holy Spirit, because the old vessel will be broken by the move of God.

Before pouring His brand new wine on you in order to make you someone separated, God has to recreate you anew. Nicodemus, an authority of Judaism, asked the Master if man would return to his mother’s womb to be born again, and the Lord answered: Jesus answered, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God (John 3.5). Without this, the destiny is eternal punishment.

God is the good Potter who doesn’t like to have losses, and the wine to be placed in you will give you the ability to overcome temptations and adversity. Therefore, He works a transformation in your spirit. Those who are born again, when they receive power from on High, are capable of carrying out the same work Jesus did (John 14.12). Unfortunately, this truth is not preached as it should be, and, as a consequence, many will be lost for not having been re-created. Without this blessing, no one will enter heaven (John 3.36).

The Lord will recreate your spirit, when the three stages of the new birth are fulfilled in your life. Then you will be a servant in the Father’s hands, fulfilling His ordinances to His children. The three stages of salvation are: the repentance of sin by receiving Jesus as Savior, the water baptism, and the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the latter done personally by Him (Acts 2.37-39). Then you will see how wonderful it is to be saved!

The wine that God will put into your life, using His new wineskin, will also be new. By repenting, you will receive the divine nature. In water baptism, your old nature is buried, and you are stripped of the body of the flesh – of the inclination to sin – and of the body of sin, which leads you into temptation. After this act of faith, your spirit is circumcised, and you obtain the remission of sins, coming out of the water to walk in newness of life, becoming a new being (Romans 6.4; Colossians 2.11,12)!

The fact that Jesus died and rose again provided salvation (1 John 2.2; 4.10). After this act, we were sent to proclaim it (Mark 16.15). However, today, it is not enough to be affiliated to a church or to be the child of parents who are saved, for without the new birth, no one will enter the Kingdom of God. According to Jesus’ words, whoever desires eternal happiness must take it seriously. Go to the Lord in prayer, asking Him for this blessing. Whoever believes will see divine glory (John 11.40)!

God doesn’t want you or His work to suffer harm, so both the wineskin and the wine need to be new and will be preserved as long as you live. Don’t let the evil one deceive you, saying that everything is fine. Well, when you are well, you will know! 

In Christ, with love,

God of new wineskins and new wine! Thank You for Your care and love for all. The lost need to receive You in order to be born again and to be led into Your Glory. We want to be Yours forever.

We want to experience all that You have determined as a condition for us to enter Your Kingdom. We cannot perish by any means. Look at the weak, who see reason in practicing the things You condemn. Deliver us from sin!

When Jesus comes, we will be in the group who will hear from the lips of Your Son the gentle invitation to enter the Promised Land prepared for us since the foundation of the world. As we hear the call, we will glorify You with our heads held high!
