Jesus began the New Covenant with The wine, His blood. The gospels started with the Canaan wedding and the water turned to wine. We are the new wine skins into which He flows that we might live in His glory all the time.
“These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.”
Wine produces boldness, strength, laughter, and ecstasy. It is like medicine to the soul.
“and wine to gladden the heart of man, oil to make his face shine and bread to strengthen man’s heart.”
There is no ecstasy or high that can be birthed like that of being entwined with Jesus. Throughout the history of the church and the testimonies of the mystics the core of revivals there has been evidence of the intoxicating rapture and ecstasy encountered.
“Whoever wants to know me and receive my wisdom, come and dine at my table and drink of my wine.”
The feast will teach us the ways of God and we will feed our hearts with the revelation and truth that transforms us so that we can implement with wise strategies what we have learned from the feast table.
When the world sees joy, oneness and acts of God breaking out they will realise the invite and inclusion and have no desire to be excluded. Church will have relevance.
Symptomatic of the lost in the physical world seeking out joy and a high in physical drink and drugs. In the spirit the same high in rapture and the ecstasy of encountering will bring joy and glory. Total celebration for ever.
Eden means pleasure. We were planted there initially with it being God’s intention that we would know the joy and pleasure of being there in His presence.
What Adam lost Jesus bought back for us.
We have been living as a church engaged to Him but living separate lives in separate homes.
The call and invite is to become entwined as one as we become the bride in union and in the place of ecstasy and joy.
The heavenly realm is already within us. He fills my cup. He makes me lie down. He restores my soul.
It has all been given we have only to receive it.
God has created us to love. It is our centre within us. We have to discover the trigger that naturally takes us to feast in that realm of love, joy and encounter.
God has designed creation to partner with us to embrace this space of union. The place of: He in us and we in Him. The Spirit invading everything and everywhere. Where we know He loves us. Where He is the All in all. Where He is the I Am .
It is our sense of separation that is the deception, the illusion. Truth is the oneness, the union the reality. The divine entanglement enveloping our joy. Enter into the Trinitarian flow.
“that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.”
We can rejoice in all things. Jesus is being revealed in multiple new ways until every eye will see and tongue confess.
Jesus is the evidence that God includes us. Our identity is sons and daughters. He is our Father just as the prayer He taught us says. Even the word repent actually translates to mean remember.
As our internal knowledge of reality changes so will our external reality change. The unveiling of the reality of Jesus is the unveiling and revealing of us too.
We are an extension of His being. The oracles of our hearts will desire to express Him. We will be filled with the new Wine of Joy.
Paul’s knowledge of being able to rejoice even in affliction will be our supernatural experience too. Paul realised that his weaknesses were the portals to this discovery as likewise will we.
We grow in our experience of the Divine Love all the time encountering even more and more reasons for our gratitude and worship and again to that place of ecstasy.
The illustration shows the New Wine intoxicating and bubbling over with ecstatic light in each of us bringing joy to the world to push back the darkness.
