There is a time when choosing to follow “The Way,” your soul will learn how to get out of the way for The Spirit to lead. There’s a moment where the old no longer fits. It’s way, though comfortable and familiar isn’t what’s being asked in this season. It’s a paradigm shift. But you can’t have both the old and the new, they don’t fit together.
“He also told them a parable: “No one tears a patch from a new garment and puts it on an old garment. Otherwise, not only will he tear the new, but also the piece from the new garment will not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, it will spill, and the skins will be ruined. No, new wine is put into fresh wineskins. And no one, after drinking old wine, wants new, because he says, ‘The old is better.’ ” ”
Luke 5:36-39
The Way of Love is the New Wine. Sweet, bold, bursting the wine skin of the old way and flowing free within the confines of the new wine skin of Holy Spirit.
“The wind blows where it pleases, and you hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” ”
John 3:8
There is more happening here than surrendering. Flowing freely in the New Wine means to submit your soul (mind, will and emotions) set it aside to let the Holy Spirit lead.
That space allows God to a be God. For that I am grateful.
