God wants to pour out His Spirit upon hungry and thirsty people. His Spirit is the new wine that God wants to pour into the new wine skins of your life. Old wine skins tear when new wine is poured into them and all the wine goes to waste. New wine skins without Gods new wine is worthless.

Wine represent God's life. New wine represents God's fresh touch and the revelation of himself. Every day you need a fresh touch from God. God's touch and His unction represents the wine that is available for you. Your reaction on God's touch, your obedience to His voice and principles becomes the new wine skin in your life.

What is a new wineskin? Wineskins were made from hide skins and if not used they became hard and unusable. These wineskins were made new again by tanning the bag and treating it with oil. This is a beautiful example of what God wants to do, in your life.

He first wants to take out all the stiffness and tradition within you and then give you treatment with His Oil (His Spirit), so that you can become flexible and adaptable.

Wineskins also represents the structure of the Church and every congregation. Many congregations have become like old wine skins, inflexible, unbendable and when the new wine is poured into the old bags they burst. Therefore new bags represents the structure wherein you and wherein your congregation functions.

God is seeking for new bags that are ready for His Spirit. His Spirit that will be poured into hungry and thirsty people that have a longing for new wine.

Now pray with me:

"Jesus help me to get rid of all the old bags in my life. I choose that You would renew my life and fill me with Your Spirit which is the new wine. I believe You are new every day and that You are taking me into a life of renewal. Amen"
