New Wine Part 5
New Wine Part 5
Tuesday February 4, 2025
Introduction:
Today, it is a proof of smartness to deny the existence of God. Those of us who are privileged to know that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him are truly among the most blessed of all people.
One of our greatest gifts in the body is our ability to hear the voice of God. The promise of New Wine at the beginning of 2025 is really amazing and comforting. It shows that our God knows. Our God sees, and our God cares. As previously stated, when we receive a prophetic word, we must first accept it by faith. But next, we must seek understanding.
1 Corinthians 13:9-10 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. [10] But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is part will be done away.
God’s word is never reactionary. It is always proactive, and preemptive.
John 13:19 ESV I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he.
John 14:29 LSB And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.
John 16:13 NKJV However, when He, the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you of things to come.
We need to walk by faith and not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:7 NKJV For we walk by faith, not by sight.
We need to trust the Lord with all our hearts and not allow our hearts to be troubled.
John 14:1 NKJV Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.
Jesus said we have to keep on believing. We believe in God, we believe in Him and we believe in those who He has sent to speak His word of faith, of hope and life in the face of fear, discouragement, frustration and anger.
The solution to heart trouble is trust in the Lord.
Psalm 56:3 NKJV Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.
We must redirect our hearts back to the Lord again and again. When we hear bad news, when we see people’s reactions, when things happen that literally scare us, we must always return to our place of trust.
We must SPEAK only words of faith.
2 Corinthians 4:13 NKJV And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, "I believed and therefore I spoke," we also believe and therefore speak,
Numbers 14:28 ESV Say to them, 'As I live, declares the LORD, what you have said in my hearing I will do to you:
Numbers 14:28 NLT Now tell them this: 'As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you the very things I heard you say.
God’s Goodness Makes Provision Before the Need, Gives Answers Before we Pray
By the time we see a need, God has already provided the solution. We just can’t see it. There is a highway in the Red Sea, we just don’t know where it is. We just need to pray that the Lord opens our eyes.
Isaiah 65:24 NKJV "It shall come to pass That before they call, I will answer; And while they are still speaking, I will hear.
Isaiah 65:24 NLT I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!
Elisha’s Life Of Faith and His Servants Walk by Sight
2 Kings 6:14-17 NKJV Therefore he sent horses and chariots and a great army there, and they came by night and surrounded the city. [15] And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, "Alas, my master! What shall we do?" [16] So he answered, "Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them." [17] And Elisha prayed, and said, "LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see." Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
God's Word Is Sure and Reliable
Isaiah. 55:1, 10-11 Ho! everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat….
[10] For as the rain comes down and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, [11] So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, But it accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
We are Believers Who Stand On God’s Word When There Is Nothing Else to Stand On
Habbakuk 3:17-19 Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor there be fruits on the vine, Though the labor of the olive may fails, And the fields yield no food, Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stall, [18] Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. [19] For the Lord God is my strength, He will make my feet like deer’s feet and will make me walk on my high hills..
Seeing connote understanding.
Isaiah 6:9 And He said, “Go, and tell this people: ‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand; Keep on seeing but do not perceive.’”
Unless we have understanding we will hear the promises of God, and even see His cations and yet miss the point.
The promise of New Wine is an answer before the question. When God offers us an answer, we need to ask, “What is the question?”
J–RAPHA
JOY: God’s antidote to all the negative emotions that suck the life out of man, take the taste out of their mouths, and dim the light from their eyes.
When God promises JOY, it’s because He knows we are going to need lots of His joy given the trials and troubles lying ahead. The fruit of the Spirit is love, JOY.
Joy is God's vaccination to the coming epidemic of pain, sadness, anger and the like.
Romans 15:13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
John 16:24 NKJV Until now you have asked nothing in My Name. Ask now and you will receive that your joy may be full.
John 16:22 NKJV Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice and your joy no one will ever take from you.
RESTORATION: God’s Justice, His Recompense, His repayment with interest, His award of damages for all that one has lost, to make one whole, to make up for lost time, lost opportunities, lost income, lost health, lost joy, etc.
Restoration is God’s answer to the question of loss, even before it appears.
1 Peter 5:10
Joel 2
Exodus 3:20-22 So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in its midst; and after that he will let you go. [21]And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and it shall be, when you go, that you shall NOT GO OUT EMPTY-HANDED. [22] But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, namely of her that dwells near her house, articles of silver, articles of gold and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters. So you shall plunder the Egyptians. (See also Exodus 11:2-3; 12:35-36)
Ezekiel 39:10 “They will not take wood from the field nor cut down any from the forests, because they will make fires with weapons; and they will plunder those who plundered them, and pillage those who pillaged them,” says the LORD GOD.
ABUNDANCE: God’s overflow of provision beyond our need.
He gives surplus for the purpose of expanding His kingdom.
2 Corinthians 9:8 NKJV And God is able to make all grace abound toward you so that you, always having sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. [9] As it is written: “He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.” [10] Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, [11] while you are enriched in everything for liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.
2 Corinthians 9:11 NLT Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God.
Abundance is God’s provision for the needs of others that He wants to supply through us.
PRESERVATION: God’s protective covering for His people from the evil and dangers that will be recorded in the year.
Psalm 91:1-16 NKJV [1] He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. [4] He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
This promise signifies a separation between those who are His and those who are not.
Exodus 9:18-26 NLT So tomorrow at this time I will send a hailstorm more devastating than any in all the history of Egypt. [19] Quick! Order your livestock and servants to come in from the fields to find shelter. Any person or animal left outside will die when the hail falls.'" [20] Some of Pharaoh's officials were afraid because of what the LORD had said. They quickly brought their servants and livestock in from the fields. [21] But those who paid no attention to the word of the LORD left theirs out in the open. [22] Then the LORD said to Moses, "Lift your hand toward the sky so hail may fall on the people, the livestock, and all the plants throughout the land of Egypt." [23] So Moses lifted his staff toward the sky, and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and lightning flashed toward the earth. The LORD sent a tremendous hailstorm against all the land of Egypt. [24] Never in all the history of Egypt had there been a storm like that, with such devastating hail and continuous lightning. [25] It left all of Egypt in ruins. The hail struck down everything in the open field-people, animals, and plants alike. Even the trees were destroyed. [26] The only place without hail was the region of Goshen, where the people of Israel lived.
Our godly response is to try to bring as many as we can, under the saving grace of God. We must share the gospel more than ever before.
Preservation is God’s answer to the questions of safety and security even before the dangers are apparent.
HEALING: God’s nursing back to health and strength.
He will keep His people in health, safe and sound from disease. Should they be afflicted, they will be healed. Many who can trust God, will receive in 2025, healing from pre-existing conditions.
Jeremiah 33:6 Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.
Exodus 15:25-26 ESV And he cried to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a log, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. There the LORD made for them a statute and a rule, and there he tested them, [26] saying, "If you will diligently listen to the voice of the LORD your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, your healer."
Numbers 21:7-9 ESV And the people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD and against you. Pray to the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us." So Moses prayed for the people. [8] And the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, and everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live." [9] So Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole. And if a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.
Healing is God's assurance that you will not die of the diseases that may kill many this year.
