YOU CAN’T CARRY BOTH.

Some of us are praying for new wine while still gripping old wineskins.

Jesus said you don’t sew new cloth onto an old garment. You don’t pour new wine into old wineskins. Why? Because what God is doing next cannot be contained by what you’ve refused to release.

The tragedy isn’t that God isn’t moving.

The tragedy is trying to carry yesterday into tomorrow.

Some of us are dragging around old wounds.

Old relationships.

Old mindsets.

Old habits.

Old versions of ourselves that God already called us out of.

You can’t carry both.

God is about to do something new in this house.

A fresh move.

Fresh fire.

Fresh oil.

Fresh faith.

But new wine requires new wineskins.

Before God fills your hands with what’s next, He’ll often ask you to open your hands and let go of what was.

The hardest part of walking into God’s future isn’t believing He can do something new.

It’s trusting Him enough to put down what’s familiar.

Don’t miss tomorrow because you’re still holding yesterday.

It’s time to release the old.

It’s time to make room.

It’s time for the new.

“No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and uses it to patch an old garment…” — Luke 5:36

“New wine must be stored in new wineskins.” — Luke 5:38

Stop measuring your future by your current location!

SEE MORE!!!!

A confession of faith is life giving and determines what we experience every day.

The power of life and death is in the tongue.

Speak faith filled Word rooted things and watch your life flourish, stop with the negativity and the focus on all that is wrong.

Don't expect to be victorious if all you speak is defeat.

Look at your mountain, declare your victory, and MOVE ON!!!

Words!!!

What we speak matters!

It is far too easy to speak on what we see and what we feel.

The challenge of the Word is to SPEAK THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU FEEL!!!

Our words should be rooted in scripture and in agreement with what God says, not what we feel or think.

Rehearsing negativity, failure, devastation and lack will produce exactly those things in our lives.

Choose instead to speak the promises of God, always looking forward to the progress we are making in Him, and watch your situation change!!!

Talk less, and declare more!

What battle are you fighting?

Ephesians 6:12 makes it crystal clear that we aren’t waging a war against people, but against spirits, ideas, and thoughts that are anti-Christ.

The enemy prowls about, seeking who he may devour. His method starts with thoughts, small seeds planted in the soil of our mind.

If we don’t recognize the tricks of the enemy, we will end up watering those seeds and creating strongholds in our minds.

Line every thought up against the truth of God’s Word, and CONTINUALLY praise Him!!!

Close every door, every access point, every opening the enemy has in to your life — this is the ONLY way to live a life led by the Holy Spirit and not the misguided flesh.

Neither give place to the devil! He wants it, but only you have the authority to give it to him, be encouraged!!!

Not by might.

Not by power.

But. By. His. Spirit.

What mountain is in your way?

Do you have sickness, an addiction, a wayward child, a financial challenge, a lack of vision, a lazy spirit?!

What is it that seems insurmountable?!

Stop elevating situations and problems above God and His mighty hand!

Surrender EVERYTHING to Christ!

Get your mouth set to praise and your feet set to dancing, because once you do, victory is on the way!!!!

Hallelujah!!!
