New wine always required new wineskins. And just like, “You can’t pour new wine into old wineskins” (see Matthew 9:17 NKJV), God can’t give you a new vision until you change the old images and attitudes you’re carrying around in your head. God says, “I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” He is ready to do something new in your life today. Are you ready to change your old way of thinking and make room for it?
