New Wine, New Wineskin | Pr Sandra Chin

You're listening to a message to go from ex Church.

We hope this message will light up your tea.

The title is new Wine, New Wine Skins.

Sorry I didn't bring no wine from Yarra Valley, but anyway,

we'll talk about what wine, all right, New Wine, New

Wine skins. So mark chapter two, verse eighteen to twenty two. Amen,

can we turn to our bibles?

If you bought your bibles?

If you haven't, I think XTI people might help you,

But otherwise good to turn our bible pages.

So mark chapter.

Two and verse eighteen to twenty two. This is the

account where Jesus was asked the big question, okay, cool

are you there if you have cool bolair?

Okay?

So mark chapter two, verse eighteen to twenty two. Just

let me read it through first with us. Let's just

declaire got to word.

So say, they.

Said, the disciples of John and of the Pharisees, two

different groups.

They were fasting. Then they came and they said to Jesus, yo.

Jesus, why why do the disciples of John and of

the Pharisees fast but your disciples do not fast?

And then Jesus turns around and says to them.

Hey, can friends of the bridegroom fast well the bridegroom

is with them.

As long as they.

Have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast twenty But

the days will come when the bridegroom be taken away

from them, and then they were fast in those days.

Now. Verse twenty one says, no one shows a piece

of unshrunk cloth on an old garment or else the

new piece pulls away from the old, and the terror

is made worse.

Need to, And no one puts a new puts new

wine into all wine skins or else the new wine

burst the wine skins, and the wine is spilled, and

the wine skins are ruined. But the new wine must

be put into new wine skins.

Amen, the reading of God's word. Amen, hallelujah. Amen. Okay,

Now we're not used.

To the idea of wine new wine and wine skin. Uh,

it's quite foreign. We we we don't live in that

in the in that kind of culture. But you just

have to think leather. They use leather skins to make

to contain wine back then to hold the wine right.

So that that's what the new wine into new wine skins.

So the picture or the background.

We see is we see Jesus probably.

Hanging around and and and and these.

Guys came and spoke to him because while first, okay,

the history about a fast thing in Israel is that

there is a mandate fast from the Old Testament, and

the mandate fast only happens once a year, did you

know that? And that's on the day of Atonement or

what we now call yam Kiporo, which is either in

September or October it falls around there. So this is

the day of a totament where people will repent and

you know, seek the low just repent of their sin.

And so they would do that.

At the day of a tournament where fast thing takes place. However,

then in the New Testament, over time they then practice

the heart for you know, the desire to fast maybe

once a week or whatever that their practices were in

their culture, and so they would do that, and it's

not a bad thing.

It's a good thing to really just cleanse themselves spiritually.

It also works physically, and so they would practice that

and then they see that you us, I tell you,

you see Jesus. Half the story is so come on, guys,

he's eating, right, He's eating all the time. At the beach,

is eating in the house, is eating everywhere.

He's eating. You are the suka mama, he must be mamaking. Okay.

So Jesus is always with people and food around the table.

So they said, oh, come, you don't do that.

And then Jesus then says, hey, you know when the

bridegroom is around, nobody fast. So what's he saying? What's

he saying? That he's the bridegroom, the capitol b bridegroom,

and that his people are his bride. The church is

the bride that he walked into the scene where he

is the new wine. He's going, he's bringing something new

into into what they were used to because he's bringing

the new Covenant and and you know the there.

Wouldn't be any more.

How are we sacrificing of animals to take away the

people's sin. Jesus was going to be the sacrificial lamb,

then we saying, and so he was coming into that

scene and you know, wanting to declare the new covenant.

So it's hard. Then they're thinking, what are you talking about?

I think when if we were living in that town,

if Jesus came, I think we would think that he's

a bit crazy because he was not talking the same lingo.

As everyone else, So we gotta be careful. We got moves.

It may not always look the way you are used to.

And they were not used to that conversation. And then

he says, hey, you know what, breakgroom's here. They won't

fast when he goes they're going to fast, so they'll

be thinking, who's the breadegroom? Are you using your breakgroom?

And then he moves into the wine skin and the

new cloth, et cetera. So I'm gonna pick it up

from here, not going too much on history, because I

want to sue something about about our theme as well

being our revival right, and as we enter into our

time of fast thing. I don't want to tell you

how to fast what to fast. You've got all that

sorted out. I believe you can ask your leaders. But

really the wild also understands. And some you do intermittent fasting,

which is very healthy for your physical body. But we

want to be doing this out of our own hearts,

our spirit, allowing ourselves.

To draw here to God.

This bridegroom has come to us and he's he's calling

us into that.

Relationship don't forget church. We are his church. We are

the bride. Amen, and you want the bride of Christ here? Amen?

He hands up bride of Christ. Yeah, we're the bride

of Christ.

We really are the beautiful bride.

God loves his church. He will protect his church. He

will teach his church. You will correct his church. You

and I must love God's church. Don't have us.

You'll talk about this church. That come on, dads, God's church.

It's like, if you talk better about me and my.

Husband, I don't know.

I mean, if I was being badly behaving, then of

course I'm so sorry for my wife's behavior. Okay, But

if you're just saying things about this is bride, right,

I mean, it's bright.

He will protect me.

But of course if I did misbehavior and I'm so sorry,

he'll say I apologize.

Maybe you know she wasn't well aday.

I don't know what was bugging here, but you know

the husband will always protect the bride or his wife,

and so be careful.

You are God's bride. Here's a bright room watches over you,

watches over you.

It's calling us, and I want us to come into

this time of praying. And if you're giving time to fasting.

Whether I usually it would have to be food or

something else that you thought about.

I feel we should come in to come to the Lord. Amen.

And so we're looking at new wine, which represents the

Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit's about revival, and a

revival is just re firing move of God's Holy Spirit,

awakening us up to be more aware, to be more

sensitive to hunger for His word, hunger for His presence,

to be hungering for God's will. That's what revival means.

And so we're coming to the theme of revival. We

can't leave the Holy Spirit outside of the theme of revival.

Come on, church, Amen. We can't have church like this.

You know, this morning up early and pray. I said, Lord,

I could just rock up here and things will go clockwork.

We can do church because we have a program, but

we don't want to program without the Holy Spirit.

Come on, I.

Don't know why I said, God, I can I can't

preach a word, but I can't change all one's life

unless you would come, Lord and the Lord, would you

go before me?

Would you just I'm just saying here, I am Lord.

Would you use me? But I can't do church without you.

Lord, our church X cannot survive without you. You have

been with us as you have started us twenty six years. Lord,

continue to abide as we abide.

And so I feel we need.

To be coming to the Lord, you know, just desiring

for the Lord. He is the new wine and the

Holy Spirit is the one that brings the revival. Amen.

So new wine skin, hey, new wine skins.

We don't want to be all wine skin right like?

No, I know of our flesh and our outer body

will be passing away.

Will be.

Okay regally, but we can be new wine skins in

our spirit, man.

With a with a skip and a hop in our spirit. Amen.

Outside may look not so elastic luck, but we can

have the new wine of.

The Holy Spirit. Amen.

So my challenge, are we making ready ourselves to be

new wine skins?

Kamcee?

So yeah, are we making ourselves ready to be new

wine skins? And right at this twenty one days, that's

exactly what you can do. Partners of eggs, you supposed

who say yes, let's draw near to God.

Amen. So how can we prepare ourselves?

And as we enter into the time of seeking the Lord,

of reading his word, of bringing things to him laying

things down, maybe turning away from our wicked ways, meaning

they are things that we keep in our hearts. Come on, people,

we keep things in our hearts and don't belong to God.

We need a let it go right, we leave it.

We gotta repent, we gotta humble our hearts. We seek

God's mercy and us his forgiveness. This is why we

take the twenty one. Usually it's a forty day lent.

They call it forty days walk to the cross, but

we cut shot and give you twenty one days. And

we want to meet the Lord Amen, remembering what he's

done for us.

So it's a great time for us as the church.

To individually and corporately bring our hearts to the Lord

and seek him. So I've tied our sharing today about

being this new one and skin about Jesus, our bridegroom

is always calling out to us. And I tied it

the Psalm fifty one. So would you go with me

to Palm fifty one? And we want to draw out

from some fifty one? Okay, now, Psalm fifty one, as

many of you have read it, the famous Psalm of

King David, you know, when he was found out by

Nathan the prophet, and you know, he was running away

from his sin, running away from his murder that he'd created,

stole somebody's wife. And when Prophet Nada it is not

just over one two days, it was over time. And finally,

you know, Prophet Layden came to him and said, David,

this is the story creator one. Really in Cantonese we

say waku, I mean drow picture and tell him story

or so. So Prophet Nadan had storytelling and tried to

tell him a story.

So kindly tell him a story so that he could

be aware that man, it's me and.

Not saying it's you, you know, not like we tell story,

you know. And then hour of that story.

So kindly he realized, because I think it was eating

him up.

And so he wrote some fifty one trying out to

the lot. And I thought we'd be great if we

could draw out and bring our hearts at this time

about twenty one days amen. So first one Psalm fifty one,

taking from verse ten to twelve, The first thought for us,

as we look to the Lord and begin to say

no to certain things, as you're humbling ourselves, we come

to the bridegroom, we bring our hearts. And what we

could prepare ourselves with a new wine skin is to

say to the Lord creating me, creating me a clean heart. Amen,

creating me a clean heart. Come on, Church, are you

with me?

Are we awake? Hallelujah? All right?

I know it's singing, but say amen or something? Okay,

tell me your life all right?

Verse ten. We start with creating me a clean heart.

Oh God.

First point, first part of where we meet is create

in me.

This is what David said to the Lord. Lord. I

know that I've done wrong. Would you create in me

a clean heart?

And so we can come to the Lord and come

to him and say, here's my heart. Father, Lord, create

in me a clean heart.

Amen.

And the best way to live healthy in the physical

and in your future is to have.

A clean heart.

If you have a block heart, hobbies very hot right

your heart. Those of you understand block heart blockage. I

just heard one of our church partners had to do

angio and and Youl grabbed the check and thank god

there was no blockages.

They just needed to just take care of the heart.

When our heart veins get narrowed, and then know it

blocks and then then something else happens. We need to

take care of our future heart, and we ask God

to create in us a clean heart. Leaning our hearts

up is to be.

Aware of what's been going on inside.

Sometimes we didn't even realize we were offended.

Sometimes we didn't.

Realize that that word that was spoken of our lives

some time ago, or somebody hit us so badly that

it causes us to run into a cave and have

very scared to even do something. And it keep and

we keep it in our hearts, and we grow up

with it, and you know, and some of us grow

old with it, and you know, in your seventies and

you're still struggling with things. And in my role as

past I see this in older people and I'm trying

to figure out somewhere something is clogged up. And it

could be a little stone, a little stone of offens fear,

fear of what someone said about them. You'll never amount to,

you will never able to be. And you know, words

can build or kill.

Who knows.

I might have said some think someone out of my

gun jungness and upsetness and all the time, and then

you said it, and then you didn't think it affected someone,

but it did if I'm aware, I would have to

go out and say I'm sorry because it's not you,

it's me, and it's a situation. So let it go.

It's not important that what I said. It's not important.

Get the job done right. So your bosses you deal

with are very you know they want the things done.

So we ask God to create in us a.

Clean heart, whether others feel condemned because you failed God,

whether you failed somebody, whether you just yeah, I know

you know last summer you did something, or last aurayayah

you did something.

I know what you did last aarayayah.

Okay, so guy his last Christmas, last Christmas, I what

my heart and you right away anyway, So what happened

can also clog up our system where God's children.

We are not don't say the word where God's children?

And I ask myself, if I'm God's child, why am

I living like I don't have a dead.

And I live just.

Rubbish and allow rubbish rob me of my.

Life as the child of God?

Can I remind us today the day you said yes

to Jesus personally to come into your life. You say yes, Lord,

I want to follow you, and you said yes, Lord,

and Jesus in John chapter fourteen, verse twenty three says,

when you abiding, or you, when you love me and

you keep my word in you, my father loves you,

and we will come and make our home with you.

You. Hello, you can look into your heart. You go like,

who's in here? The king?

Hey, tell your neighbor, did you know the kings living

in you?

Go ahead, tell your neighbor, did you know the kings

living in you? Oh, King Jesus, King Jesus. But we

forgot that King Jesus is living in you, in me.

The Kingdom of God is in you.

And yet we live such fleshly lives, lives fill with

the flesh desires, and we cannot see how God would

work in us, all of us.

I want to remind us the Kingdom of God is

in us. He said he will make his home.

With us the day you said yes to him. But

that's why a great twenty one days helps us to

create in us again a clean heart. Amen, A create

in us a clean heart.

So start with the heart. Amen, who's living in your

heart today? Hello? Who is living in your heart? Today?

I pray you and I have our Master Jesus living

in us. Amen, we have our master Lord, the one

who is the Lord over our lives, and we do it.

We can check our hearts every day, we can do that.

But what a great opportunity twenty one days. Let's ask

the Lord to create as we surrender. Amen, So David,

as even as David said, create in me a clean heart,

oh God, Amen, he moved on to say, renew a

right spirit, renew a step fast spirit within me.

Amen. So first point creating me.

And then what happens as you say to the Lord

and you surrender, Then you say, Lord, renew a right

spirit within me.

Renew a stepfast spirit, not a wavy spirit, not a.

Wave, but a step fast spirit within me. Renew a

right spirit within me.

Amen.

And we want to have the right spirit, the right attitude,

the right spirit. You know how how sometimes we said

people are this poss such a good spirit.

He has the right spirit. When you have a right.

Spirit, you can you can take on any kind of

role anytime, anywhere.

Amen.

When you have a negative spirit, then you will be

complaining about everything. The checks not nice, the heck on

his dead, that person's fast killing me?

All right? All right?

Yeah, When you have a negative spirit or a bad

spirit due to various reasons, not not just because we

went to something not to our own fault. Then we

don't have a right spirit. And so we when we speak,

we're not even speaking. We're spewing out words that bring

death and not life. Hello, don't put your hand on

come on, I speak the truth, all right, because I

made those mistakes. But I want to create God create

in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit,

a stead fast spirit towards you. That's what David was saying.

A man, would you ask the Lord for steadfast spirit? Like?

Lord, I just want to stay close to you.

I want to have the right attitude in all things,

even if I have to be corrected. I want to

have the right what's the word for it? Oh, suddenly,

the word is not a posture, a right posture, A

posture that is kneeling rather than doing this, the posture

of your heart in a humilid is it in a

humble posture to learn? Or were ready to just fight

the only person we need to fight. That's only one.

We have one enemy, and that is the devil, because

he comes to steal, kill, and destroy us and rob us.

So creating me a clean heart.

Firstly, as God creates, and as you desire, you say, Lord,

renew a right spirit, a right spirit, a stepfast spirit.

Amen.

Is to have the right attitude, to carry the right

spirit wherever you walk. I pear whenever you walk into

your office, when you walk into a room, when you

walk into any place, people sense the right spirit in you.

They sense the joy of the Lord, they sense encouragement,

they sense something different about you.

Isn't that awesome? Amen?

Remember the story I don't know if you remember all

the times running when Rachel Ann had a colleague during

in the midst of the thick of the pandemic, and

the and the colleague had a baby, gave birth to

a baby. The baby refused to stop crying twenty four hours.

Mom was going into depression already.

The end, there's seventy five percent of our community, the

seventy five And the husband just had to call Rachel

because Rachel's the boss, and just said, you know, my

wife is almost staring her hair out. The baby hasn't

stopped crying. Rachel, what do I do? She's really losing

it already. She wants to take her life. And no,

Rachel said, no, what if we can if you can

make it to my home somehow come to the house.

This couple who do not know.

Jesus, do not worship Jesus, came because in desperation they came.

The moment they entered the house of Rachel Ann and

Albert Lynn.

The child stopped crying. You tell me what that? What

is that?

The child slept, the mom had a rest up, the

drying non stop. Something about us in the right spirit,

what we carry people recognize.

I hope to carry that. People see me, they.

Might say, oh, you know, you're a joyful person, or

others you so full of wisdom. Oh you know, you

just brought light into the room. You're the life of

the party. There's something positive. But it's not just because

it's positive thinking. It is the Holy Spirit in us.

As God creates a clean heart within us. And we say, Lord,

give me a right spirit. Amen. Amen, And I think

we don't realize brand and sisters, God gave us a face,

the biggest well, one of the fun things people see

about us is our face.

Ah, do not put your hair out. But how many

times have I gone up to a brother or sister

and I'm like, and the person just.

And then I'm like, Okay, I'm not using my position,

but I am your pastor ha right.

But I don't say that. I'm like and still susah.

I mean I want to have fruit of the spirit, love, patience.

Happened yesterday, so happy. I just came back and seen

my team novy. You know, I just like lost it. Hello, Hello,

damn A small smile. But it could be wrong. We

don't realize what we're carrying.

And I don't slap me because I'm in the age

and the anti category. I think something about aunties. We

forgot to smile.

Yeah, as we get older, we just carry this face

that no time to smile.

It's too difficult cause no more less the scene. I'm

getting this more and more, and I've tried to explain

to the church, don't worry. The Auntie's not angry with you.

I think that no one cannot the muscle cannot go up.

So but actually, very good heart run.

Yeah.

So I'm gonna have to speak to our leaders who

are women and there in the sixties. They're gonna start. Yeah,

but I think the heart's okay. But all I'm saying

is Aunties, don't shoot me. I'm just saying it is,

what do you carry when you walk into a room?

What do I carry when I come into your presence?

Do I have a right spirit?

My step?

Fast?

Am I real? Or do I put up a face

from me? You'll always get it real. You an't asked

me how I am? You get ready for the story.

I'm not gonna say I'm fine. No, I'm not fine.

That's how I get over it so fastly, fastly. It's

because I speak. I let it go. I talk about it.

I'm not a shame.

I'm not uper pedestal that I cannot be hot. I

will not get sick, and I'll never go down. I

have been down, and I'm up. If I'm still done,

I'll come up.

So a right spirit? Can I can? I encourage us

remind ourselves. We forget what we forget. I so forget sometimes.

In the work and forget, and ever people come in and.

Then they look.

But I said, how can I be this vessel? How

can I be this new wine skin? Lord created me

a clean heart and let me have a right spirit.

I don't know about men so much, lad, but I'm

thinking about the Lady's face tells it all.

Sometimes you don't realize it.

But my husband looks at my face and he can't

read me any things.

I'm upset, but I'm not. I'm not upset.

I'm busy highway because going up and now, so cannot

smile like and I think it's not good to live

like that because they're already broken people. They're already messed

up lives. Can you smile or at least be ready

to smile when when people meet you?

We just always feeled as a child of God.

We do have problems and we have challenges, but I

pray what helps us grow lift up is this.

The third point is, let's be filled with God's spirit.

Let's and I put in my notes being filed meaning

why am I being filed? It's because I'm hungry. I'm

hungry for God's spirit. Amen, I'm hungry for God's spirit.

Are you hungry? Do you see yourself as a child

of God and you just enjoy His presence and his people?

Just quick testimony.

I may have spoken here, but as I talk about

people who are filled with the spirit.

There will be a hunger for God.

Three years ago or four years ago in the pandemic,

if you remember the story, I had a call from

because we worked with Sunway Hospital, the doctors will call

for pastoral chaplaincy and so I'll get to get over

a move because some person is needing help who's a Christian.

But in this case, the person who she was speaking

to is not a believer. However, the question was I

want to know God. She's dying, she's about eighty, she's

a foreigner. And the doctor said, Auster, could you just come.

I don't know, maybe I can't do it, but you

come La since their family said send somebody, okay, we

go doctor Jill myself and we meet this French lady

and her American husband.

She's dying of cancer. She's withdrawn, and she.

Just said, I want to know God. How can I

know God? Where do we start? I don't know where

to start. She speak French, I speak Francois.

No, I don't know.

I cannot speak French. And I said, let me tell

you my story how I came to know Jesus. Jill

shaid her story, and I say, you know, it's a

simple step is do you believe in God that Jesus

came die for your sins? It's Jesus makes a way

for you There's no other way, no other name, no

other saints, nothing but Jesus is the bridge.

He is the way, the truth and the life after this.

And she cannot speak by the way, long sentences like

me now, and she's breathing, and she said, is it

that simple? I have? I have been so rude to God.

I've turned I don't even know him. I've lived, lived

the wildlife and I and later I know why it

was wild, just away from God. French real they believe

in God. He's American, maybe at the Catholic background, I

don't know.

She said, with God accept me. I just need to

know that.

I want to know God. And I say, yes, he can,

he will, He wants you and you can do this

right now? Would you want to say the prayer to

receive Jesus? She said, yes, husband's unbelieving, but whatever the

wife wants, right, and.

We lead her in the prayer of salvation.

She couldn't understand, not realizing I don't have the similar

words in French. But we just say whatever, and she

couldn't understand. So we broke it down and she said

the prayer very slowly. She said it, she finished, and

we said in Jesus name, Amen. And as she said amen,

our eyes.

Were all closed. She didn't open her eyes.

After we prayed for a long time, and I thought

she died because I looked up and looked at Jill. Jill,

you're the doctor. Tackle she's not breaking up. Amen.

No song. Then after like a pause, like a long pause,

she opened.

Her eyes and I kid you not like I couldn't

take a picture for this, I couldn't never draw you.

But as she opened up, as she prayed the prayer,

you know, we walked into a very lost, dark, hopeless

person to this face it.

Do you know what's the first thing? She said it

to me?

And that's why I's believe us. We also must as ourselves.

She said, I want to go to church. This is

what happens when you get revived. You want to go

to church. You don't go to the movies. You go

to church. And I said, Ree, I don't think we

can take you to church now, but there's a church

now near where you.

Stay in Cyber. When you're well, you can go. I

want to go to church. You want to take it

to church now?

She can't walk, I said, but soon when you get well,

she said, okay. I visited the next day, I brought

I bought a Bible. I paid a lot of money

for the Bible, big print for old people.

Don't like you want small small print and big big words.

One that's very expressive.

I brought Exclaim magazines, different things I brought, and I.

Went, Okay. The whole time we were praying, the husband's bawling,

just crying. Did you see you made me cry?

No? I didn't, Yes you did, No I didn't. This

is holy spirit, this is Jesus.

I did.

I did the Lord's prayer with that, you know, I said,

whatever his name? I said, hey, skip, can you say

the Lord's prayer? Thing?

I can remember? We say the Lord's pread, presence of

God came. What do you expect?

Sure you kryla, right, God's presence come. You just don't

know what just hit you? Right, it's not the song

you say. I had a bad day. No, it was

no bad day. Oh I fell in love.

I hit by truck. No, did you you was hit

by truck? You were hit by God's love that just

overwhelmed you. She just hungry, he couldn't. I mean, she

was like.

Me.

The church.

Now, some of us don't even want to come to

church like once a year Christmas, Hey.

Easter, just come like, come like anyway? She hungry.

Is what happens when you received Jesus. Amen, Come on,

God creates in us a new heart. Amen, and then

we'll put a right spirit. She was in the right spirit,

and then there was a hunger, you know.

Two weeks later she passed away.

Me and Jill were far far away, and we said

we're gonna come. We took a TEXTI from wherever and

came all the way to care just to say our

last respects to her husband and met her daughters.

And you know what. The husband said to me, Hey,

before you leave, I just want to tell you. Do

you know what?

She had a favorite book from all the books that

you brought. I said, well, which one was it? And

then he said it was the one with all the

just it's all your faces exclaim, aren't you glad? I

do exclaim? But all the pictures of your testimonies.

She said.

She just kept reading it and looking at it. Even

the second day when I went to see her, she said, can.

I go to church?

I said, I can't take you now, you're not able

to walk. You can't walk, but she would look at

Exclaim and the stories.

That we told. See how powerful your testimonies are.

She just loved that book. Thank you for your stories.

Keep them coming. No, never keep a good testimony, keep

sharing it. This lady you may never have met her now,

but maybe one day you'll see a French woman come up.

Do you I read your story? Thank you, and then

you remember this story. Amen. She was just hungry.

And this is what happens when the Holy Spirit comes in.

We're hungry for word, We're hungry for prayer, We're hungry

to serve, We're hungry to wait on him.

We're hungry.

We just want the Holy Spirit, God's presence to be

with us.

And then what happens when we're hungry and God feels us.

We are restored with the joy of God's salvation.

Amen. We are restored with the joy of God's salvation.

And as you are filled with God's joy, Amen, that's

what you will carry into your everywhere that you go into.

I cannot say, because the Bible says, Uncle King David says,

don't cast me away from your presence, and take not

your Holy Spirit from me.

He knew the power of the Holy Spirit when we

talk about being filled. Amen.

And he said, restore to me us to hell the

joy of your salvation and uphold me by your generous spirit.

Amen.

Oh, the joy of God's salvation is like boom boom boom,

hallelujah all the way up.

Amen. He never draws us if we are a well

that is dried today. Come on, let's ask the Lord

of creating.

Me a new heart, renew a right spirit within me.

And Lord, you know, just fill me with your spirit.

Don't take away your spirit, but feel me because I come,

and that my joy might be renewed.

Amen. And this joy, he says, it upholds me. You

are so generous God. We just need that restoration. Amen.

And this is.

A journey that you can have throughout your whole walk

with Christ, even each year, each you know, each time

you just come twenty one days. Let's go for it

twenty one days. Hey, you know there are some of

you spend more money. Sorry, you know you spend a

lot of money in your gym or your your pickling

ball and do pickles. You know you spend money. There's

no joy of salvation there.

Mind you, mind you.

It makes you happy, but there's no joy of salvation

in pickling ball freak you you hurt yourself like my husband. Okay,

but the joy of the Lord's salvation is everlasting.

Can't exchange it.

I sit before God's presence and I'm just so thankful

every day that the Lord is my salfish. And in

my I say, God, I cannot do anything without you.

I can't.

I can't, I can't do my masters, I can't lead,

I can't. Yes, we have natural talon, but nothing beats

God's generous spirit that takes you and lifts you up.

Amen.

And as you are restored, the best thing you can

do is be a witness, be his witness. Share what

you are experiencing. Why am I sharing Marie story? Isn't

that amazing?

See? We will share the best bet that we can

buy for a pickleball bet buy this bet very good

bye from the shop good.

It's like testimony, you know, m we very good testimony

we share. How come we cannot share the transformation that

God has done for you.

I'm not asking you to do anything more. God did

not even ask, He just say, would you be my witnesses?

Just tell him the testimonies that you heard and how

he or how he opened the door for you or

I don't know what you're praying for.

Can we be God's witness? Amen? That's that's that's just

the overflow of being filled by His spirit. Amen.

We're not out to do any other thing but to

be a witness. That's exactly what you And come on, people,

you have products that you share with people on very quickly.

I found myself doing that. I'm like, oh my goodness,

it is not very good. No, it is chocolate, very good. No,

And he said very good. No.

We're so quick, but we're so slow to tell about

the most exciting person who's living in me. I'm so

slow to brag on what he's done for me. I'm

so ashamed because it's a name that people will not receive.

But we're wrong.

It's the only name that people can be saved. We

are ashamed to tell somebody I'm a follower of Christ.

We are sh We don't even dare say I believe

in Jesus. We say I believe in God? Which God, the.

Cow, the pickleball? Which God? Do you follow? Jesus? Jesus, Jesus.

We got to get radical or we are just a shame.

That's all. There's a no. I'll just wait for them

to ask me. Why can they see anything different with you?

Or you're like everybody else?

There has been something so different than Hey, tell me

you're fasting.

Tell her you're first thing? Don't you got you? What's im?

You can tell them about Easter. I don't think they

don't know what Easter is.

Come on Christians, Oh, I don't use the word even hey,

believers and followers of Christ.

People have an.

Idea, and if they don't, great time to share with

them what you believe in, what transformed you.

You're not telling somebody else what you God will do

for no need? What got it for you? Our lives

don't have.

The perfect, but there are moments of victories we can

share about. Just like everyone else out there, they will

share their moments of yah, I did so well.

They're not. I use this product and see I got

muscles now. And that's what we do.

We share the best best kid program, the best vitamins

for your children.

You quickly share among the moms. One I know one,

I hear you.

So why do we not share the very life, the

very lifeline that leads us to eternal life here it is.

Are we preparing ourselves to be new wine skins?

Because the new wine is.

It's just bubbling, ready to be poured into our lives.

But if we keep all mindsets, if we keep thinking, well, no,

you cannot love this week, cannot that one cannot, everything

cannot know like sometimes you're anti.

You cannot like and not lock. And I'm not ready

my hair not done yet. Don't take picture.

You will miss out a lot of moments. Everything is

again not love because I'm not ready. Just be ready,

law right. I have a husband that really pushes me.

Sometimes I'm like, but because not because it's evil, but

because he's like, I know you won't do it because

you just you just won't because your hair is not

nice to be. But then I get that extra help,

and then hey, I accomplish something. We need somebody to

give us the ex to push. We need each other

to share each other and say it's good. We can

I feel Let's get up again. Hey I condemned myself. No,

stop condemning yourself. Let's forgive, repent, turn it around, walk

back to Jesus. Amen, Amen, thank you Jesus. Come on,

we're going to close right now Hallelujah. We want to

be ready to be the new wine skins.

Amen. We want to shine.

We want to share what transformed our lives. We're not

sharing to transform anybody. We're just saying, who transformed me?

What I experience? That's all. That's it.

When someone hears your transformation story, then they get to

think about it and ask you another time later, how

did that transformation happen?

Tell me again, amen, Amen.

I think we are living and breathing this life that

Christ is given to us, but we've never just thought

about how can I really just.

Make Him known in a in a simple ways, in

simple ways, like like a product life.

You're holding something in your hand, you should share one.

I see people sharing movie tickets, like any wanna go

see this movie place? PJL has place. Hey, let's go.

See this place. Hey there's su Sunnight. Hey you go

take people to sell Sunnight. Oh there's a French Da Da.

And we're all talking about those things.

But very I catch myself very seldom say hey.

Because he's boring, or hey, I go for prayer meeting.

We do do holy but borrowing, but it's a prayer

meeting that changes the hour of prayer that changes something.

Thank God, we keep coming for that prayer even though

it feels like I'm bringing the same thing every time

or whatever.

But that preys uplifting things by the grace of God.

Never this, this, never disk it and Tea's Amen.

Amen.
