YOUR VATS WILL OVERFLOW WITH NEW WINE

 


Last week there was a winery in Spain that had a massive tank eruption. I watched the actual video of 50,000 liters of red wine gushing out into the streets like a tsunami. This river of wine flowed out around tractors and cars, and into a nearby field. One man who witnessed it said that it was like a breached dam. I could only imagine the aroma of that wine as it filled the air. As I was watching this video the Lord brought this scripture to me that was prophesied in Joel chapter 2 and repeated in Acts chapter 2 which says: “I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh”. In Joel chapter 2 verse 24 the scripture goes on to say: “The vats shall overflow with new wine and oil”. Throughout the scriptures wine is an allegory of the Holy Spirit.

In the Song of Solomon there is a story about a bride and her bride groom which is an allegory of Jesus and the bride of Christ.  Chapter 2 verse 4 speaks of a dialogue between the shepherd King and the Shulamite woman (as the bride) He invites her to a banqueting table. This word is translated in the original Hebrew context as “House of Wine’ or “Wine cellar” 

For some time now we have heard reputable prophetic voices prophesying that a great outpouring was coming across this nation and around the world. Many of you are beginning to doubt that word and have become bewildered by the chaos and anarchy that we are experiencing in this nation. Spiritual warfare may be at an all-time high but the Lord is saying: Just as I promised I am about to pour out my new wine in abundance. The wine press is full and it is about to release torrents of fresh wine. This is a fine wine but a costly wine. 

In three of the gospels Jesus speaks a parable saying that new wine requires new wineskins. A wineskin serves the purpose of preserving, distributing and being a container of the new wine. Jesus is looking for vessels that He could use to distribute this new wine.  He is requiring the bride of Christ to have a new wineskin to hold this holy wine. Old wineskins must go through a process to become pliable. If they are brittle or damaged they cannot be a carrier or dispenser of the new wine. Our old mindsets must be renewed to hold this valuable wine of the Holy Spirit.

You may be experiencing trials like Job but don’t lose your focus because there is a great outpouring on the horizon. There is a distinctive scent, an earthy, pleasant smell which is produced from the ground before it rains. This is called a petrichor. Those of you who are spiritually discerning could smell the scent of this fresh new wine in the atmosphere about to be released. The Lord is sending a geyser of refreshing to those of you who say “The adversity is more than I could bear” The book of Proverbs 3:10 says Your barns will be filled with plenty and your vats will overflow with new wine. Stay strong, faithful and pliable so that you could be a vessel to be used in this new wine outpouring in the days ahead


Proverbs 3:10 (ESV)
Then your barns will be filled with plenty and your vats will be bursting with new wine.

Song of Solomon 2:4 (TPT)
Suddenly, he transported me into his house of wine—he looked upon me with his unrelenting love divine.

Joel 2:24
The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.

Mark 2:21-22
No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; or else the new piece pulls away from the old, and the tear is made worse. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins.”

Walking In Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power

   October 16, 2014 Walking In Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power In the First book of Corinthians Chapter two, Paul told the Corinthian church that he did not come with eloquence of speech or carnal persuasiveness, but with the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. Paul did not speak mere words of man, but he ministered in demonstration with miracles, signs and wonders following. When Paul prayed for people they were healed, set free, delivered, and even the dead were raised. He told the people that their faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. The Lord says; This is a new day. You are the generation who will walk in authority, power and demonstration of My kingdom. I am releasing My glory on this earth as it is in heaven. You have been created as conduits to be used in miracles, signs and wonders. I am looking for those who will speak to the mountains, rather than encircle the mountains repeatedly. I am lookin...

"HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE"

Image
June 10, 2016 "HE MAKES HIS MINISTERS FLAMES OF FIRE" The Holy Spirit showed me a campfire that had died out but underneath, the embers were still red hot.  The embers radiated heat long after the fire was out and could easily ignite again if they were stoked, poked or if the wind blew upon them.  The embers were smoldering which means that they were still burning, yet without a flame. The Lord gave me this analogy from Leviticus 9:23-24 of how God supernaturally sent fire on the altar for the burnt offerings.  Although the fire was kindled by God Himself, the priests had to continually keep it from ever dying out.  This required a regular removal of the ashes and anything which would prevent the fire from burning. Jesus is rekindling the fires that have gone out of His people so that we will become a flame of fire for His glory. The Lord says I am igniting the lives of My people once again to go out into all the world an...

“The Desert Places and The Resting Places Encounter – January 16, 2019”

Image
                          As I lay down to rest, the Lord came and invited me to follow him. In the vision, I get up and follow him and find myself walking in a vast hot desert. All around us are sand dunes as far as I could see. The wind was hot and was blowing sand on us as we went. My feet were struggling to keep up with the Lord as He purposefully trudged forwards to His destination. I pressed harder in the soft sand and said, “Lord, where are we going?” The Lord just kept walking. After awhile, the Lord slowed down and I saw that we came to a place where there was an old well in a cleft among the dunes. It was ancient, well used, and it had old dry clay built up all around the sides. There was an old clay jar laying by the well that still had an old rope tied to it.   The Lord leaned against the edge of the well and asked me if I wanted a drink. I was amazed that He asked su...
