There really is only one choice...Obedience

There are plenty of people to take care of the old wine skin - called the American Church in her present form. So let's not use that as an excuse for not moving out into new Holy Spirit birthed wine skins.

I talk to pastors often who use this excuse for not stepping out in faith to be part of this new thing God is doing in America. They often feel great responsibility for the already reached. Listen, the already reached don't need our investments of time, energy and resources. They are in. What we are talking about is reaching those who are not in. Jesus will take care of His children and the already reached children can take care of themselves. God is calling out leaders to walk by faith and make disciples who make disciples in a new Holy Spirit filled and directed form.

Many leaders have been trained in this movement of God and still go back to living and serving in the old wine skin with the same old parameters. These leaders will be held to a higher standard. They have been taught to live in the spirit to lead people into Holy Spirit baptism, to make disciples who make disciples who make disciples. Living in the old wine skin after being introduced to the new wine skin work of the Holy Spirit will bring judgment. You don't get to choose once you've been introduced to this Truth and new Holy Spirit birthed work. It has to be the new wine skin. There is no other choice here.

I'm honored to bring this truthful reminder to you. You don't really have an option once you've had this truth revealed. To reject it is to bring judgment down from God. God is calling out a remnant to lead this Holy Spirit birthed work. Are you a Joshua?
