Embracing a New Wine Anointing

In this season of so much turmoil, unrest, problems, conflicts and so on, a new wine anointing is being poured out from chosen vessels that have been prepared for such a time as this. Just like choice grapes that have to be prepared before releasing wine, faithful disciples have to endure seasons of stomping, bruising, broken-ness in order for a new wine anointing to flow. The glory of God is being revealed through those who can endure hardness as a good soldier of Christ.
For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!]. (2 Cor. 4:17)

Glory in Suffering

On the way to your ‘there place’ of promised inheritance, very often you can remain stuck in the ‘messy middle’ a very long time, trying to get a handle on overwhelming circumstances. The length of stay in this uncomfortable and painful state, to a great extent, depends upon the willingness to obey God; choose to do whatever it takes for moving forward into a new place. Trials and tests help to reveal the glory of Christ in your life.
It is critical however to press through storms, sickness, pain, struggle, tight or narrow places in order to reach the other side.
So that no mortal man should [have pretense for glorying and] boast in the presence of God.
So then, as it is written, let him who boasts and proudly rejoices and glories, boast and proudly rejoice and glory in the Lord.
(1 Cor. 1:29, 31)

All About the Kingdom

The Kingdom of God is now—it is here! Some may like position, but the Kingdom is not about position. It's not about how anointed you are, how great you are, what your name is, or whether or not your ministry is large or small. It is about bringing the kingdom of light amid a dark world. When you humble yourself, make yourself of no reputation, the Lord will exalt and promote you in due season. He is the Judge; He puts one down and raises another one up. He is the King in His Kingdom and has called you for such a time as this! Thank God for the Kingdom! Jesus came to establish a different order, a different Kingdom, unlike anything you have ever known. Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand! (Mark 1:15)

Anchored in Hope

This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil. Where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever...Heb. 6:19-20
