Abraham was apparently a member of the aristocracy of perhaps the most interesting nation and culture in the world at the time. He left it, and his family, to seek the city that God is building. As great as the things that man has accomplished are, none of them can compare to what God is building. Once we see what God is doing, it is hard to be too impressed with anything man has done.

       We’re not called to just leave something but to go to something far greater. The law of entropy...

       There has been a long time of rest since the last great wave of the Holy Spirit, but He is about to start moving again, as will those who follow Him. As stated before, and as we have overwhelming historical and biblical precedent for, we can expect many who have become comfortable in their present places to be resistant to movement or change. But, if we’re not going to give into to becoming old wineskins, and we want to be a part of the greatest move of God to ever come upon the earth, we must...

       We should keep in mind that the “old wineskins” of today were yesterday’s “new wineskins.” Those who stop moving with the Spirit and settle into what they perceive to be comfortable places develop a rigid unwillingness to embrace what is new. This can happen to any of us, and it will as soon as we start seeking comfort and security more than we do the Lord. There is no greater comfort and security than being in the Lord’s will, but those who set their minds on the temporary things of this life lose sight of this....

       We are in the prep stages of the next move of God. The spirit of Elijah is preparing the way for Jesus to move in again, and we can expect it to prepare the way just as it did through John the Baptist. John didn’t preach about himself but the One coming who was greater. We’re not here to preach about how great we are or how great our church is; it’s all about Jesus. He’s the One we preach.

       As John the Baptist proclaimed, when Jesus comes, He will come like a “refiner’s...

       We’re told in Proverbs 24:3-4 that knowledge fills the house, but it takes wisdom to build it. When we are given knowledge of something or someone, we should always ask how that knowledge can be used to build up and not to tear down. We should evaluate whether our words tend to build up or tear down.

       As the old forms of church and church life are being challenged and dismantled, we know the Lord has new wineskins for the new wine He is serving. He does not just tear down something without building...
