幾週前，我做了一個夢，夢見自己穿著一套舊的商務西裝。它很寬大，不合適。主和我一起站在房間裡，所以我向祂詢問這個問題。當我這樣做時，祂指著我，那件衣服立即收緊，完全適合我的身體，就像第二層皮膚。
起初，這種收緊太緊了，感覺很痛苦。我問主："這是什麼？發生了什麼事？這感覺很不舒服，太緊了！" 我開始走動。隨著我的動作，這套新衣服開始膨脹，以適應我的身形。但它並沒有像以前那樣變得寬鬆；相反地，它非常合適。主接著對我說："這套衣服代表我的新皮袋。起初，它會感到不舒服，但當你穿著它行走時，它將恰到好處，變得更加舒適。
我相信主在這個夢中啟示了四件事：
1. 不再像往常一樣做生意了
我所穿的商務西裝在我的身上已經不起作用了。這對基督的身體也是如此。我們不需要過時的指標、範式、品牌和數字來建立祂的教會！祂正在做一些新事！
2. 在新的擴張季節之前，有一個限制的時刻
新酒倒入後，舊皮袋會破裂。在新酒發酵的過程中，舊皮袋沒有能力容納氣體，或者說，沒有能力容納新酒的轉化。當新酒被倒入新的葡萄皮袋時，葡萄酒皮袋最終會膨脹以適應酒的老化。隨著新酒的出現，有一個膨脹的季節。我們正處於一個主正在擴大我們的季節，有時會覺得我們不適合。在這個季節，我們很容易逃避；但如果我們相信擴張的過程，儘量不要被增長所淹沒，最終我們會適應並融入主正在做的新事情中。
3. 是時候行動了
新的過渡，雖然非常渴望，但也可能會不舒服，但這只是一時的。你可能覺得在當前的季節裡，經濟、家庭或工作受到限制，你無法前進。就像我在夢中看到的那樣，擴張的關鍵是運動。我聽到主說："繼續前進！"。限制不是為了失敗或做錯事，而是為了磨煉和在新的環境中變得舒適！"
4. 它既是新的又是舊的
當我們談論新皮袋時，我們常常認為神在完全廢除舊的。然而，新皮袋包含了以前的好東西，但又重新塑造它以適應身體的新形狀。它摒棄了過去不必要的布料，這些布料現在已經過剩；上帝並沒有要我們添加的東西。它成為產業、恩膏和新火的混合體。真正的國度生活是一種使徒式的產業和榮譽。我們可以回顧並發揚過去強大的恩膏和外袍，但要以新方式為新的時代穿上它們。這也意味著，無論你是什麼年齡，新酒已經預備好了，在等著你！你可以在每個季節都有新鮮感。當你願意按照神的要求運行和轉變，不停留在舊思維和舊心態中時，你可以在每個季節都是新鮮的！主啊，我們說我們已經預備好了！我們將與你一起行動！
"也沒有人把新酒裝在舊皮袋裡，恐怕酒把皮袋裂開，酒和皮袋就都壞了；惟把新酒裝在新皮袋裡。" (馬可福音2:22)
DREAM OF THE NEW WINE
ROMA WATERMAN, MELBOURNE, VIC, AUSTRALIA
A few weeks ago, I had a dream I was wearing an old business suit. It was baggy and didn't fit right. The Lord was standing in the room with me, so I questioned Him about this. As I did, He pointed at me, and the suit immediately tightened to completely fit my body like a second skin.
Initially, this tightening was too tight, and it felt painful. I asked the Lord, "What is this? What is going on? This feels uncomfortable and too tight!" I began to move around. As I did, this new outfit began to expand to fit my shape. But it didn't become baggy like before; rather, it fit perfectly. The Lord then said to me, "This suit represents My new wineskin. At first, it will feel uncomfortable, but as you walk in it, it will fit just right and become more comfortable."
I believe the Lord was revealing four things in this dream:
1. It Is No Longer Business as Usual
The business suit I was wearing didn't work on my body anymore. This is the same with Christ's Body. We don't need outdated metrics, paradigms, branding and numbers to build His Church! He is doing something new!
2. A Moment of Restriction Before a New Season of Expansion
Old wineskins will burst with new wine poured into them. In the process of new wine fermenting, the old skin is incapable of holding in the gasses, or rather, the transformation of the new wine. When new wine is poured into new wineskins, the skin will eventually EXPAND to adapt to the aging of the wine. There is a season of expansion as the new wine emerges. We are in a season where the Lord is enlarging us, and sometimes it will feel like we don't fit in. In this season, it would be easy to run from this; but if we trust the process of expansion and try not to get too overwhelmed by growth, eventually we will adapt and fit into the new thing the Lord is doing.
3. It Is Time to Move
The new transition, although greatly desired, may also be uncomfortable, but it will only be for a moment. You may feel in a current season where finances, family, or work are restricted, and you can't move forward. Like I was shown in my dream, the key to expansion is movement. I hear the Lord saying, "Keep moving! The restriction is not for failure or wrongdoing, but for refining and becoming comfortable in the new!"
4. It Is Both New and Old
When we talk about new wineskins, we often think God is doing away with the old completely. However, the new wineskin embraces the good things that have come before, yet reshapes and remolds it to fit the new shape of the Body. It does away with the unnecessary fabric of the past that is now in excess; the things we added that God didn't ask us to. IT BECOMES A HYBRID OF LEGACY, ANOINTING AND FRESH FIRE. True Kingdom living is one of apostolic legacy and honor. We can look back and carry forward powerful anointings and mantles of the past but wear them in a new way for a new era. This also means, no matter what age you are, the new wine is ready and waiting for you! You can be fresh in every season when you are willing to move and shift as God asks, and do not remain in old thinking and mindsets! Lord, we say we are ready! And we will move with You!
"And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins." (Mark 2:22)
