If we were to compare ourselves to aged wine we would discover many different stages of maturity. In the natural progression of God we learn that the old must come to the new for the new is not to go back to the old. For if the new went back to the old this would be like trying to hold back the natural progression of God within the body of Christ.
New wine brings life in ways that can carry us forward and the object is to recognize the maturity of the wine as it develops its own taste in the natural fermentation of God. As a winery rotates stock we are to learn the importance of shifting our barrels within the racks to eliminate any cob webs or dust to colllect on our barrels. There is a message in this for those with the ears to hear and the eyes to see that can deepen an understanding within the overall function of the body. May God give you the senses to figure this out so your wine will mature in the natural progression of God…
