NEW WINE, FOR NEW WINESKINS
Jesus spoke a parable to the Scribes and Pharisees who questioned just about everything He did. ”No one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. But new wine must be put into fresh wine skins. Luke 5:37-38. ESV.
Luke 5: 39, And no one after drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good.’
JESUS SAID TO JOHN’S DISCIPLES, ”GO AND TELL JOHN WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN AND HEARD: THE BLIND RECEIVE THEIR SIGHT, THE LAME WALK, LEPERS ARE CLEANSED, AND THE DEAF HEAR, THE DEAD ARE RAISED UP, THE POOR HAVE GOOD NEWS PREACHED TO THEM. AND BLESSED IS THE ONE WHO IS NOT OFFENDED IN ME.” Luke 7:22-23.
JESUS CAME BECAUSE OF LOVE, HE MINISTERED IN LOVE, HE DIED BECAUSE OF LOVE, HE AROSE BECAUSE OF LOVE, HE LIVES TO LOVE, HE IS COMING AGAIN BECAUSE OF LOVE

WORD FOR THE WEEK
PSALMS 91: 1-12
Happy is he whose resting-place is in the Lord, and under the shade of the wings of the most high;
Who says of the Lord, He is my safe place and my tower of strength: He is my God , in whom is my hope.
He will take you out of the bird-net, and keep you safe from wasting disease.
You will be covered by His feathers; under His wings you will be safe: His good faith will be your salvation.
You will have no fear of the evil things of the night, or of the arrow in flight by day,
Or of the disease which takes men in the dark, or of the destruction which makes waste when the sun is high.
You will see a thousand falling by your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.
Only with your eyes will you see the reward of the evil-doers.
Because you have said, I am in the hands of the Lord, the Most High is my safe resting-place;
No evil will come on you, and no disease will come near your tent.
For He will give you into the care of His angels to keep you wherever you go.
In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.

(9) Exercising the Gift of the Holy Spirit
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”
New King James Version
“God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself
Thus by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be strongly encouraged.
but Jesus became a priest with an oath by the One who said to Him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind: ‘You are a priest forever.'”
Look, I am with you, and I will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”
Moreover, the Glory of Israel does not lie or change His mind, for He is not a man, that He should change His mind.”
Psalm 89:34
I will not violate My covenant or alter the utterance of My lips.
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”
I summon a bird of prey from the east, a man for My purpose from a far-off land. Truly I have spoken, truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, I will surely do it.
so My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it.
Therefore the earth will mourn and the heavens above grow dark. I have spoken, I have planned, and I will not relent or turn back.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His covenant of loving devotion for a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments.
God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.
New King James Version
If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself. 2Tim.2:13.
For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
King James Bible
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Heb.10:22.
When Jesus heard this, He marveled at the centurion. Turning to the crowd following Him, He said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith!”
The fear of man is a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD will be set securely on high.
Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
Life’s experiences should build character, resilience, confidence, but most of all
faith. When faith is tried and tested because of life’s issues, it is important to
recognize what can be gained through experience to make better decisions,
choices etc going forward.
Moses is an excellent example of growth through experiences. He began as an
insecure man, asking his wife to lie to the Egyptian pharaoh about their
relationship ( Gen.12:10-13), to being named as one of the heroes of faith ( Heb.
11:1-40). Without faith it is impossible to please God (Heb.11:6), therefore, one’s
life journey should reflect growth because of every experience.
Hebrews chapter eleven is packed with references of faith through trials;
Abel — Gen.4:4
Enoch— Gen.5:22, Gen.5:24, Jud.1:14
Noah— Gen.6:8, Gen.7:1, Gen.7:16, Gen.7:23, Gen.9:8, Gen.9:17
Gideon — Jdg.6:17, Jdg.7:13, Jdg.8:4
David — 1K :20:42; Isa.17:26, Isa.39, Isa.45, Isa.51; Ac. 2:25; Rom. 4:6
Samuel — Isa.3:15, Isa.9:23, Isa.10:17, Isa.10:25, Isa.12:5, Isa.15:1, Isa.15:7
Isaac— Gen.22:7, Gen.26:12, Gen.26:18, Gen.26:19, Gen.26:25, Gen.26:27
Jacob— Gen.25:31, Gen.27:22, Gen.28:10, Gen.29:4, Gen.29:18, Gen.29:30
Joseph — Gen.39:4, Gen.39:20, Gen.41:46, Gen.41:48, Gen.41:51

The Authority of Believers part 1
Matt. 14:22-31, And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. 23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. 24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
It is a covenant of love. It is the fulfillment of the promise that God will forgive sin and restore fellowship with man by sending His only son to pay the legal price for sin. His son, Jesus, is the mediator of the New Covenant. He died on the cross to implement it, guaranteeing a change of heart to everyone who believes and receives the gift of salvation so that we can become reconciled to God.
It is imperative that believers and others interested know that the Holy Spirit was sent by Jesus to live in us and be with us forever. It must be known that He is our comforter, guide, teacher, intercessor, advocate, defender, leader, and is the only one who can give us revelation knowledge of God’s word and it’s intent.
It must be known that He reveals to us the truth of God’s word, and empowers man to be and do all that God requires. He gives the wisdom necessary to rightly divide the word of truth.
We strive to unmask the cloak of secrecy and misinterpretation imposed upon the message of Grace, letting it be known that the fruit of the Spirit is for every born-again believer. We’re also on a mission to implement a better covenant and change the lives of many.
Have you doubted yourself that you can do something great? Stop the doubts and put your trust to the Lord with all your heart and soul.
This book attempts to explain the significance of the new covenant and explore the benefits of partaking of the new wine, the new born-again experience. Jesus fulfilled the law and gave his life to pay the price for the redemption of all mankind.
