Behold, folks. He is doing a new thing--Do you not perceive it? While He is God and He is the same today, yesterday, and forever, He chooses to do things in new ways. He never changes, and His Nature never changes, but He is all about NEW THINGS. Perhaps that's why we call Him The Creator. He is the Holy Embodiment of Creativity.
He continues to bless the old, while simultaneously birthing and blessing the new.
And, hey, He's God and He can do more than one thing at a time. So, while He is still establishing and building traditional wineskin churches, He is raising up huge numbers of home churches and fellowships.
Prophetically, we see this as God the Creator, creating and releasing many, many new and fresh expressions of Himself. This is an exciting time!
Look for Him EVERYWHERE. He's in church, the media, the marketplace, government,education...if you're looking for Him--you will find Him!
What Time Is It?
In Christ~ it is ETERNITY.
For those who have found their lives in Him, know that you exist both in time and in eternity. While you are having a momentary physical, earth-bound experience, you are simultaneously living, moving, breathing, and Being 'in Christ Jesus'--which is a place and position separate and apart from time and space! It is through you that He is affecting and invading time and space.
On Earth~ It is 11:30. It is Joel 2:28:
"...I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions..."
We see prophetically that we are in the season of Joel 2 and in the beginning days of the greatest harvest of souls the earth has ever witnessed. In order to accomplish this outpouring and harvest, the Lord is birthing a New Wineskin, to hold His Spirit, this FINEST OF WINES saved up for this generation and for such a time as this.

There is no life in religion or that comes out of religion. Religious thinking and mindsets cause the numbing of the spirit.
A religious spirit is the anesthesia of the enemy.
The enemy makes people believe that "being religious" will bring them favor with God. Religion emphasizes tradition and convention. Brittle wineskins. Clouds with no water.
Religion is analogous to building a tower to heaven--and we all know that ends badly!
J E S U S I S A L I V E !
Jesus is alive and not only that--He is LIFE and Life More Abundantly.
Relationship and Faith are the electrical components of the Kingdom. They are the dynamics of heaven, and when they are connected to us in the earth realm, the Power of God flows.
What does that look like?
SIGNS AND WONDERS.
Are you or maybe your church crying out for signs and wonders?
Remember:
Signs and wonders do not occur in an atmosphere of religion!
And, sometimes, signs and wonders do not always occur in an atmosphere of faith even!
Signs and Wonders occur in the Presence of Jesus. Because ultimately all signs and wonders are for his Glory--that's where they will occur--in the glory realm!
The Presence of Jesus is, beloved, where you are! Get a revelation!
And, when you are walking in this vital revelation--signs and wonders will follow you! You will lay hands on the sick and they will be healed. You will cast out demons. You will decree a thing and it shall be so.
AND...
Beloved, you must take the leap of faith out of religion and into relationship.
This is a life of great freedom.

The Kingdom of God is at hand. Think about it this way...How far from your mind is your hand?
Not far. I think John the Baptist was speaking on so many levels when he said this. He meant that the Kingdom was touchable. Think about it--Jesus walked among them.
Nothing is different! Jesus the Christ, the All in All is in you and you are in Him!
He is Christ in you, the hope of glory!
You are seated with Christ Jesus in Heavenly places.
That is the Kingdom of God made manifest.
Our earnest prayer for you is that in all of you, your life, your church and your ministry He is the King and Lord---- and your REALITY.
