NEW WINE SKINS 8/10/25
NEW WINE SKINS
Sunday, August 10, 2025, the Year of our Lord
Pastor Carolyn Sissom
In this NEW DAY, there is a NEW ORDER of people who have another name, which is a NEW NAME (Rev. 2:17; 3:12). This NEW NAME is a NEW NATURE, even the nature of Christ (Col. 1:27, Gal. 4:6, Lk. 17:20-21). This NEW ORDER of people will become a NEW WINE.
What about the NEW WINE-SKINS for the NEW WINE?
Lk. 5:37: No man puts new wine into old bottles (wineskin) else the NEW WINE will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
The old forms are no longer adequate. We earnestly seek God for the new provision and the new way in which the Holy Spirit is moving in the earth.
When God does a “NEW THING” in the earth, it is really a progressive unveiling of what he had in mind from the beginning. It is a NEW MANIFESTATION in the earth of His Power and Presence on earth as it is in Heaven.
Through calling and commission, we have been part of the move of God to raise up a waring army of intercessors and prophets on earth to take back the Church’s authority over our nation and its government for the Kingdom of God. We are now watching as the Saints are called to possess that which the LORD has restored to us. As we possess God’s kingdom on earth, then through the work of the Holy Spirit we the church can carry the Glory of bringing forth the Harvest prepared for Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
First we had to take our nation back from the spirit of antichrist which had deceived the sleeping church into thinking Christians had no spiritual authority over civil government. It is true that God has established a Government for His people in the Church that is entirely foreign to the governments of this world order… the fact is that the “God of this world” is determined to take over the Government of God in the Church. He came close to doing it. He almost convinced a large segment of Christianity that he had authority over the Church. The spirit of antichrist was taking over the church using civil government to squash Christianity.
When God establishes Authority in the earth, He projects into the hands of that Authority the power that is required for the execution of that office; and the authority is answerable to God who established it. This is true as it relates to governments in the earthly realm, or in the Church. A man with authority from God does not need to ask the people for it, or even seek after it…it is just there. If God gave it, He confirms it, and those who have the Spirit of Christ are content to leave it entirely in the hands of the LORD to vindicate and to stand behind whatever purpose God has in mind. God sent Moses and gave him a rod of authority… and God was faithful to stand behind him when Korah, Dathan, and Abiram contested it. Moses simply fell on his face before the LORD, and God did the rest. In like manner, God vindicated Aaron, and caused his rod to bud in the Tabernacle, while the other rods remained lifeless.
We are watching that God given authority on President Trump as he pursues peace between the warring nations in the earth.
For those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, we the church are breaking forth into a NEW DAY and a NEW WIND of the Holy Spirit. The Church must arise and move with the Holy Spirit as judgment and justice is being released into all nations.
God has something NEW for His people. Something far beyond anything we have known in Church life. No man has the pattern for it. The Great Architect and Builder alone knows the pattern, and the Holy Spirit (God’s Advocate in the earth with His people) will bring it into glorious manifestation in His own way and it appears it is now time. Let us continue to “abide under the shadow of the Almighty” even under the shelter of His wings. In His Divine ultimate, all God wants in the earth is a people BORN of the Spirit, FILLED with the Spirit and WALKING in the Spirit.
John 3: 3-6: Jesus said, “verily, verily, I say unto you, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God… Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
We are born of the Spirit.
Regeneration or the NEW BIRTH is the work of the Holy Spirit transforming the soul into supernatural, life-giving light, holiness, joy, peace, and righteousness. When we are “born-again,” the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit produces an inward and miraculous NEW HEART. He first washes and cleanses our natures. He takes away the heart of stone and gives us a heart of flesh. He writes his laws in our hearts and puts his Spirit in us to enable us to keep those laws. This is what is meant by regeneration.
2 Cor. 5:17: Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE; old things are passed away; behold, all things have become NEW. All things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation.
Gal. 6:15: For in Christ neither circumcision avails anything, nor un-circumcision, but a NEW CREATURE.
The NEW ORDER is the establishment of the KINGDOM OF GOD on earth as it is in Heaven.
In the outworking of the purposes of God, there are constantly NEW HORIZONS, NEW WORKINGS of His Spirit… as He leads His people out of bondage and into the fullness of NEW CREATION Life.
Isa. 42: 9-10: Behold the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare; before they spring forth, I tell you of them. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth.
Every time God declares a NEW THING, there is a NEW SONG that accompanies that declaration. The NEW SONG of the Spirit is accompaniment to the NEW THING that God is declaring concerning His people. It is the song of His Glory, the song of His Kingdom, the song of His righteous judgments in the earth.
There is a NEW CROSSING OVER. We the church are praying as we watch President Donald J. Trump take down ruling monarchs and kings of foreign nations one by one. We have to have a new mindset. The warfare has changed. We must follow only those who bear the Glory of God on their shoulders. Let us watch for the Glory, not the man or woman.
This NEW CREATION man or woman is not a new habit formed in us, but a new power and ability. So, it is called “the divine nature” of which we are a partaker.
2 Pe. 1:4: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises; that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
We are given a NEW NATURE, even the nature of Christ. This NEW CREATION is a NEW POWER and ability created in us by God and it bears His image.
Eph. 4: 22-24: That you put off the former conversation of the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind. That you put on the NEW MAN, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”
The Holy Spirit renews our minds. Being renewed in the spirit of our minds means that our minds now have a new, saving, supernatural light to enable us to think and act spiritually. We are renewed in knowledge according to the image of him who created us.
Col. 3:10: …put on the NEW MAN, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him.
Because we are in union with the Spirit, we are in union with the Son… doing only as He is doing… speaking only as He is speaking… thinking only as He is thinking. It is a place where we constantly ABIDE in the realm of the Spirit…flowing streams…brooks of water…fruitful vines and fig trees…corn and wheat and honey…homes built that we did not have to build, orchards planted that we did not have to plant. What a glorious day when the Body of Christ begins to enter into her heritage and God’s people begin to realize that we no longer work for God (for we are co-workers with Him) … We discover that what God has purposes for his people has already been prepared by the Spirit of God in the earth, and we simply become joined unto Him, and abide in the land.
The new power and ability wrought in us is called the NEW MAN.
The NEW MAN has a complete change of the whole soul from which all moral action comes. This NEW MAN is placed in opposition to the “old man” (Eph. 4:22, 24). The NEW MAN has the power and ability to produce Godliness, with spiritual and moral actions.
This NEW MAN is created according to the image of God in righteousness and true holiness. The first man, Adam, was created in the image of God before he had done any good thing.
The image of God is created anew in us by His Holy Spirit, which is the “NEW MAN”. As the Holy Spirit works in us the NEW NATURE, we reveal the Glory of God.
There is a NEW EXPECTATION. When Jesus was about to appear the first time, all men were in “expectation.” God puts that expectation there, because the brooding of the Spirit of God upon His people arouses that NEW LIFE to spring forth as we cry out, “come Lord Jesus come.”
If there is to be a “NEW WINE SKIN” for the “NEW WINE” …, what are we going to do about it? God will be as Sovereign in bringing forth the NEW WINE SKIN as He was in bringing forth the NEW WINE, and we do not have to meddle with it in any manner whatsoever. May we be openhearted before the LORD and come to realize for a certainty, that the Holy Spirit is dwelling in His Body as the living Presence of Christ Himself---not just to influence His servants with certain gracious impulses that will inspire them to fulfill the Word of God, but that He is indeed the SOVEREIGN LORD OF THE CHURCH.
Now we have come to the day of Harvest, and the “Glorious Church” that God promised is about to come into being. I am of the persuasion that the “NEW WINE SKIN” of the Glorious end time church will be far more glorious than the seed that was planted in the ACTS’ Church. It has to be. The Harvest has to be far more glorious than the seed that was planted.
That He might to present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be HOLY and WITHOUT BLEMISH (Eph. 5:27).
