NEW WINESKIN & A FRESH ANOINTING

PART 1

Today people know there is something

wrong with the church; something wrong in

the church; something wrong with the

leaders of most churches. But, yet, most

people cannot place their finger upon theproblem. Preceding every move of God there

is a hunger that grows in the hearts of men

and women; a hunger that cannot be satisfied

with words of menunless they come

through the anointing of a servant of God.

The anointing breaks the yoke. The

anointing sparks and brings revival. Today

most people are dissatisfied with the spiritual

conditions surrounding them. They are

dissatisfied with the churches they are

attending.

People are beginning to cry out to God in

prayer. People want new wine. They wantthe manifestation of the Holy Ghost in power

and authority. They want anointing. They

want reality; not a form of Christianity. The

Bible tells us that when new wine is poured

out, new leaders suddenly appear. In the

church today there needs to be a reformation.

There needs to be a change. If you want to

continue to move with God, if you want to

continue to grow in God, if you want fresh

anointing; you have got to be willing to

change.

II Thessalonians 2:10-12 reads: And with

all deceivableness of unrighteousness inthem that perish; because they received not

the love of the truth, that they might be

saved. And for this cause God shall send

them strong delusion, that they should

believe a lie: That they all might be damned

who believed not the truth, but have

pleasure in unrighteousness. Ladies and

gentlemen, if we want to move with God, if

we want to move with the Spirit of God, if we

want to move with the wind of God; we must

change.

John 3:8 reads: The wind bloweth where

it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof,

but canst not tell whence it cometh, and

whither it goeth: so is every one that is born

of the Spirit. Jesus said that those who

are led by the Holy Spirit will be changing

and moving constantly. To move with the

Holy Spirit demands constant change. IICorinthians 3:18 reads: But we all with

open face beholding as in a glass the glory

of the Lord, are changed into the same

image from glory to glory, even as by the

Spirit of the Lord.

Once again, we must change. We must

not resist change if we want to move with

the Holy Spirit, if we want to grow from

glory to glory, if we want a fresh anointing.

Again, to move with the Holy Spirit demands

constant change. People like to be stable,

secure, and comfortable. But, Jesus demandsfreedom. Freedom means change. Jesus

works like the wind. It can never be limited,

boxed in, or confined. Peoples efforts to

crystallize and restrict the Holy Ghost are

contrary to the ongoing work of God.

Luke 5:37-38 reads: And no man putteth

new wine into old bottles; else the new wine

will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and

the bottles shall perish. But new wine must

be put into new bottles; and both are

preserved. Ladies and gentlemen,

whenever the Holy Spirit fills people with

new wine, the structure or organization inwhich they function must change. Old

wineskins drip. New wineskins must be used

to hold the new life; to hold the ever-

changing flow and anointing from the Lord.

We have seen this principle constantly in

operation throughout the history of the

church. For example, when Martin Luther

pursued truth, rather than resisting truth (as

Thessalonians warns), he received

revelation from the Holy Spirit concerning

faith and grace and established the church

called the Lutheran Church. The previously

established churchthe old wineskinwas

ripped in two, and a new denomination was

birthed. Lets look at another example

When John Wesley preached with the fire

of the Holy Ghost, a new structure now

known as the Methodist denomination was

formed. Throughout history as men andwomen ministered under a fresh anointing

of Gods Holy Spirit, there was change from

the old established system, allowing the

Holy Spirit to breath new anointing through

the anointed apostle or prophet. New

wineskins formed every time new wine was

poured in.

God wants to pour new wine into all of us

He wants us to grow in anointing. But we

must not resist truth. We must not resis

change. We are growing from glory to glory

We are supposed to be growing into His

likeness; into His image. The Lord has nevefailed His church, but we have resisted truth

We have resisted His Holy Ghost.

Joel 2:28-29 reads: And it shall come to

pass afterward, that I will pour out my spiri

upon all flesh; and your sons and you

daughters shall prophesy, your old men

shall dream dreams, your young men shal

see visions: And also upon the servants and

upon the handmaids in those days will

pour out my spirit. Ladies and gentlemen

we must be willing to change! We must be

willing to allow our present wineskins to rip

Jesus warned that it was impossible to pournew wine into an old wineskin withou

ripping it. You and I must allow the Holy

Ghost to rip apart our old wineskins. There

can be no mighty spiritual revival; no mighty

change in our lives or in the structure of the

church, the denomination, or the

organization of the church without a great

shaking and changing of the wineskin. I

will rip! The problem in churches and

denominations today is that we have people

resisting the change of the Holy Ghost. We

have people resisting the truth of the Holy

Spirit. We have peopleresisting God. We

have people that want to remain in old

wineskins. We have leaders leading

churches and denominations today that are

administrators or pastors, but who exclude

the apostles and prophets.

Now, Church, listen to me. If we want a

mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit; if we

want change, we must allow our wineskins

to rip. We cannot expect to know the samepower of the Holy Ghost that the New

Testament believers experienced unless we

have wineskins similar to theirs. One of the

reasons why the first century church grew

was because they used the full operation of

what Ephesians 4:11-15 explains. Lets read

it: And he gave some, apostles; and some,

prophets; and some, evangelists; and some,

pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of

the saints, for the work of the ministry, for

the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we

all come in the unity of the faith, and of the

knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect

man, unto the measure of the stature of the

fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no

more children, tossed to and fro, and carried

about with every wind of doctrine, by the

sleight of men, and cunning craftiness,

whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But

speaking the truth in love, may grow up

into him in all things, which is the head,

even Christ.

It has been taught by many administrators

and pastors that the apostles and prophets

were only for New Testament times. But,that is not scriptural. All five of these

ministry gifts were given by God to the

church: until we all attain to the unity

of the faith, and of the knowledge of the

Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the

measure of the stature of the fulness of

Christ.

The church cannot reach perfection until

it follows Gods order of church leadership.

Until the church works as Christ instituted it

to work, operating with His servants, the

church cannot grow. Thus, we see and feel

the frustration of people who attend deaddenominations and dead churches that have

become stifled after their apostle or prophet

retired or died.

Once again, John Wesley and Martin

Luther, when they moved off the scene, all

of a sudden their denominations were turned

over to administrators and pastors. The

fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit led by the

apostle and the prophet ceased. God wants

today to raise up leaders so His church can

go through a major reformation, putting new

wineskin in place of the old, so that the

church can enjoy a great outpouring of theHoly Ghost.

The unique characteristic of a ministry gift

is the anointing of God. The word

anointed means having oil spread upon.

When God anoints a person, the person

changes. I Samuel 10:6 reads: And the spirit

of the Lord will come upon thee, and thou

shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be

turned into another man. Every leader with

a ministry gift has been touched, anointed,gifted by God, changed by the work of the

Holy Spirit. These changes take place in

two areas of a persons life. First, a gift from

God changes a persons heart. Look at I

Samuel 10:9: And it was so, that when he

had turned his back to go from Samuel, God

gave him another heart: and all those signs

came to pass that day. The Bible tells us

that the instant Saul received his anointing,

God changed his heart. So it is when a pastor

receives the heart to shepherd people, or

when an evangelist receives a heart full of

compassion for the lost. It is Gods own

heart for a specific area of ministry that is

placed within a gifted, anointed individual.

Secondly, a giftanointing from

Godallows the Holy Spirit to flow through

a person in a greater measure and in a certain

fashion. John 7:38-39 reads: He that

believeth on me, as the scripture hath said,

out of his belly shall flow rivers of living

water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which

they that believe on him should receive: for

the Holy Ghost was not yet given; becausethat Jesus was not yet glorified.) The Holy

Spirit will work through any Christian, but

the person who has received Gods heart

anointing for a ministry has an open channel

for the Holy Spirit to flow in a unique way.

The Holy Spirit comes forth from the pastor

in a different manner than the way He works

through the teacher, the apostle, or the

prophet. It is the same Holy Spirit sent by

God the Father, but the different gifts allow

the Father to pour out His grace in different

ways.

Isaiah 10:27 tells us that it is the anointingof God that breaks the yoke. You and I must

be willing to change. We must allow our old

wineskins to rip and allow God to pour in

new wine so that we have new wineskins.

Thus, fresh anointing can come upon us,

and God can use us as He desires. The

apostle, prophet, evangelist, teacher,

pastorthey all have anointinga special,

unique anointing on each ministry gift, that

allows that ministry gift to perform certain

functions for the Lord Jesus Christ.

The unique characteristic of a prophet and

an apostle anointing is that they work on

the basic structure of the church. Ephesians

2:20 reads: And are built upon the

foundation of the apostles and prophets

Jesus Christ himself being the chief corne

stone So, here the Word of God tells u

that the body of Jesus Christ is built upon

the foundation of apostles and prophets, and

that Jesus Christ Himself is the corner stone

Ladies and gentlemen, listen carefully

Evangelists, pastors, teachers, and all otherChristians build upon the foundation already

laid. You can look at I Corinthians 3:10-13

Only apostles and prophets have the

empowering of God to lay or change the

foundation itself. Did you hear? Many

churches, many denominations need their

foundations changed. They need new

wineskins. But, in order to do so, they mus

be led by the apostles and prophets.

The word prophet means one who

speaks for. He is one who has received an

anointing to speak in a much more direc

and powerful way. Behind the prophet

words are great spiritual forces able to break

spiritual bondages off people or groups of

people.

Harold R. Eberle writes in his book, The

Complete Wineskin: The purpose of the

prophets words is not simply to provide

knowledge or understanding, but to change

the structure or nature of that which is being

spoken to. A preachers words may be

evaluated, but a prophets words must be

accepted or rejected, submitted to or resistedThis does not mean that the ongoing

conversation of a prophet is God-ordained

and hence, power-packed, but the messages

that the prophet receives from God for a

particular situation or person do have Gods

spiritual forces behind them. The prophet i

Gods direct mouthpiece, through whom God

speaks powerfully into the church and into

the world.

We must distinguish between the

Christian who prophesies and the ministry

gift of a prophetThe Christian who

prophesies speaks Gods words, but thereis not as much spiritual power behind those

words, and they are spoken only for

edification, consolation and exhortation (

Cor. 14:3). The prophet may speak with these

three purposes, but also may speak Gods

direction, revelation, rebuke, correction or

knowledge of the future. The prophets in

Acts 13:1-2 hear Gods direction to send ou

Paul and Barnabas for ministry. In Acts 21:10

11 the prophet Agabus speaks with

revelation and knowledge of the future when

he announces that Paul will be imprisoned

The prophets in the Old Testament give

strong rebukes to the Jewish people on many


3/4

occasions, as does Paul in his letters to the

churches. The ministry of a prophet is more

diversified and powerful than that of a

Christian who simply prophesies.

The prophet can be better understood

when we contrast the power of the prophets

words with that of an evangelists words. A

gifted evangelist may come to a church or a

city and preach a message that causes dozensor even hundreds of people to respond.

However, we know from studies that success

depends much upon advertising,

organization, and extensive follow-upeven

with these, very few of the people reached

will remain involved in a church. For example,

in a typical citywide evangelistic crusade held

today, less than twenty percent of those who

respond to the gospel invitation will get

involved in a church.

In contrast, when a prophet visits a church

or a city, the power of a prophets words

produces lasting results. Charles Finney

(who is wrongly called an evangelist by

many) was a prophet who brought revival to

numerous cities in America about one

hundred years ago. Studies show that over

eighty percent of those to whom he

ministered remained in churches for the rest

of their lives. The prophet Jonah brought an

entire city to repentance without any

advertising, follow-up, or administration.

Such results are understandable in the

prophets ministry but uncommon in the

ministry of the evangelist. A gifted prophetnot only changes the course of a church for

years to come, but individuals who receive

the prophets ministry are given direction that

influences the rest of their lives. A prophet

deals with foundations. As we look at a few

other examples later, we will see that a

prophets words endure time, persecution

and affliction. The words of teachers,

pastors and evangelists do not carry such

authority.

Often the prophet is called upon by God

for a specific task. John the Baptist was sent

to prepare the way for the Lord. Nehemiahled the Jews to rebuild the wall around

Jerusalem. When we read the books of the

prophets in the Bible, we see that the word

of the Lord or a vision came to each of them

and then they were required to proclaim that

one message. Moses, who was also a

prophet, led the Hebrew people out of

captivity.

Today, God sends some prophets to a

specific church or denomination to correct it

or get it on track. Other prophets may have a

primary message that they express in many

different ways and carry to many churches.Because of this, they may appear unbalanced

and limited. People may judge them for

talking about the same topics over and over,

not realizing that they are supposed to be

unbalanced, at least through our natural

eyes. Many times God will keep the prophet

speaking on the same subject or on related

topics until the message has been received

or openly rejected. After that, the prophet

may be given a new vision, or word, orburden from God. It is because the prophets

vision can be intense and powerful that the

prophet is sometimes limited to one task or

message at a time.

We must not form a distorted image of

the prophets ministry. Not all prophets have

a single mission or purpose. Most of them

should be able to give consistent, balanced

direction and revelation within the Body. In

describing their role, I do not want to restrict

them or your view of what they should do. I

am just briefly mentioning here a few common

characteristics.

Prophets are also used by God to

transmit, confirm, or recognize anointings on

other people. In the Old Testament, we see

that the prophets poured oil on the heads of

the kings before the kings took their

positions. Paul encourages Timothy to

continue in the spiritual gifting he received

at the laying on of hands with prophetic

utterance (I Tim. 1:18 and 4:14). It was several

prophets and teachers that set Paul and

Barnabas aside for ministry (Acts 13:1-3).

Prophets are able to speak forth Godsanointings as God directs.

The hearts of prophets are directed,

intense, burdened, tender, and sometimes

frustrated. Their hearts are focused on the

specific tasks God has given them. Their

emotions are linked to the results they

perceive in relationship to their calling. They

are often in tears when they see no change,

joyful when correction is received. They

have tender hearts that are easily broken at

the sight of sin. Yet, it is common for

prophets to be frustrated when they see that

what is written in the Bible is not real in thechurch.

Prophets are more sensitive to spiritual

forces and impending troubles than the

average Christian. In the Old Testament,

prophets are often called seers, referring to

their ability to see into the spiritual world

(for example, I Samuel 9:9). They sense Gods

solutions or answers to problems in the

Church, in the world, and in the lives of

individuals. Their eyes are open to see

visions and anointings from God.

Because prophets often encounter

tremendous resistance, many of them arevery determined, assertive people,

frequently considered hardheaded and

stubborn. They are not influenced much by

persecution or mens opinions. They are

often dramatic, acting in ways that emphasize

the messages God has placed on their hearts

Prophets are sometimes radical individuals

alone more than the average Christian, and

so intense that they challenge those around

them. I do not want to stereotype, but thisis how God often seems to design the

character and personality of a prophet. I

comes with the gift. Pgs. 22-26.

The church (believers) are in perilous times

today because of damnable heresies (2

Peter 2:1). Rev. David Alsobrook writes in

his book The Precious Blood: A

damnable heresy is a teaching which, if

believed, will damn a person.

The book of Jude warns of false teachers

who follow the ways of Cain. Cain was a

humanist who tried to worship God his own

way, offering to God what God had cursed

Cain offered God a bloodless sacrifice...the

first false religion and distortion of Gods

Word.

Two thirds of the clergy polled in one

denomination disclaimed belief in the virgin

birth, the blood, and denied the deity of Jesus

Christ and His literal resurrection. Brothers

we need to be led by the Word of God

Ephesians 4:11-14 exhorts the church towork as a team with order so we are no

influenced with damnable heresies!
