Day 5: Receiving the New Wine
Reading: Joel 2:28-29; Acts 2:17-21
Devotional: God desires to pour out His Spirit—fresh revelation, renewed vision, and divine empowerment—but He needs willing vessels. The new wine of Pentecost came to those gathered in expectant flexibility, not to those comfortable in religious routine. God's outpouring isn't reserved for the spiritually elite but for all who make themselves available—young and old, servants and leaders. The question isn't whether God wants to pour out His Spirit, but whether we're positioned to receive. New wineskins don't just happen; they're intentionally prepared. Examine your heart today: Are you soft and pliable, or have you become brittle with disappointment, cynical with age, or rigid with self-sufficiency? God has fresh wine for this season—new assignments, deeper intimacy, greater fruitfulness. Will you be a new wineskin? Pray for supernatural flexibility. Release the old. Embrace the stretch. Position yourself to receive all God wants to pour into and through your life.
