You Unravel Me

No one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins as well; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins.”

May 3

I have a hunger to know God more. To see Him move in mighty ways. I don't know why or where it came from. It has just always been in my heart. As I was looking back over some old notes of mine for a class I taught, I was reminded of the power of fasting. Fasting prepares us for a new anointing.

Mark 2:22

No one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins as well; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins.”

I think this is one of the reasons God has led me to fast during this time. He can't put that kind of blessing into my old skin. I need a fresh wineskin for the new wine. Since I want a deeper intimacy with God, I want new miracles, and greater understanding, I need to shed my old skin. The Adversary attaches to our lives as generational curses, strongholds, and brokenness. This affects our mind, emotions and our will to do righteously. Fasting fuels the healing. I want healing and a new mind, free of the strongholds that are limiting me. I am starting to see what God is unraveling. One of my favorite authors calls it an agreement with the enemy. Something happens in our life, especially when we are young and it wounds us. The Deceiver swoops down and whispers a lie. In our pain and confusion, not understanding the entire picture, we agree. We go from feeling like we failed to... I am a failure. It is a subtle difference, but it wreaks havoc in our lives. When we break the agreement, identify the lie and replace it with truth, the healing begins. Since God is unraveling me, my healing is coming!
