NEW WINE FOR THE CHURCH
"My church was originally meant to be a Rock, and to be built upon the foundation of the Son of God. But the foundation has become loose and fallen down; it has been crumbling down year after year.
Fancy buildings and organizational programs have replaced the original intent that I had for her. She has compromised herself with the world. Pastors will no longer be the leaders of my people, for I will rule My people with an iron sceptor.
I am against those shepherds who lord over their churches. The man I esteem is he who is humble and contrite in heart. Are you going to be ready for my coming? I'm not interested in titles or in who you are, for I look upon the inward appearance of the heart. For Saul wanted to rule over his kingdom but I chose a young lad from out of the fields. And it is the same today....and he was a man whose heart was after My Father.
A new era is coming for My Church though. It is a time for renewal and restoration. It is the time for the restoration of the prophet and the apostle. Did I not say that My Church was to be built upon this foundation? How else can the building be brought to its framework?
I Am breathing a breath of new life back into My Bride. But many cannot even see it or feel it. You see, it's because of how things have been done for so many years; but I Am a creative God, and I do things in a new way.
Have I not said that the latter house will be greater than the former one? There needs to be new wine in new wineskins; the old will not work any longer, for the old container is falling apart; the old ways are no longer working.
Let me clean out the cup and give you the new wine, for the old wine has lost it's savor to Me. If you are to partake of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb then you must learn how the wine tastes."
