Matthew 9:17

People don’t put new wine into old wineskins.

A reconditioned wineskin is as supple as new and is able to hold new wine.  To recondition it, an old wineskin needs to be cleaned and then soaked in oil.

The wineskin is soaked until it is rejuvenated to its supple and soft state to be ready for new wine.

Made fresh again.

“Soak” in God’s presence in worship, word and in prayer and fasting,

Holy Spirit wash over us

Over and over again

Until our hearts and spirits

Are tenderised to receive

New things from God.

Take time out before the Lord.

Allow God to speak.

A reconditioned wineskin is refreshed,

Flexible and passionate

About the new things that God is doing.
