An old wine skin, though, had lost its flexibility. It could expand as the liquid inside of it fermented and gave off gases during the transformation into wine. When a wineskin was first cleaned and tanned and made ready for use, it was flexible and stretchy. Wineskins in this era were created from the skins of animals. Christ describes why His arrival on earth has changed how many things will be practiced and understood by the people of God. In Jesus’ name, Amen.Jesus is presenting three illustrations to answer one question: Why don't your disciples fast, as did the Pharisees and the disciples of John the Baptist (Matthew 9:14)? This is Jesus' third of three illustrations in response (Matthew 9:15–16). That in all things, both the ancient oil and the new oil will flow out of my spirit. For as long as I live, my testimony will be of the new things you are pouring out. What I had last week was wonderful but I am ready for today’s too. What I had yesterday was great but my heart is open for that of today. The Bible says that every day, you load me with benefits, that there is new bread and oil for each day. I thank you for the freshness of revelation, knowledge and understanding. PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank you for this Word. He wants you to age in the anointing that by the time you leave this earth, you are not merely anointed but the anointing is the only thing that truly defines you.

The difference is this when was the last time you were washed in oil? When did you last hear God? When did you last soak in His presence? When did you last yield to His power and His touch? There are new wineskins in sixty year old bodies and there are old wineskins in twenty two year old bodies. There is a wine skin that was made last year but has never been washed in oil since then.

I have heard some young Christians disregard the elderly folk as ‘old wineskins’ in the understanding that this has anything to do with age. Therefore, to make them new, old wineskins were soaked in oil to enable them hold new wine. What made them old was because it had been a long time since they had last been washed in oil. Wine skins were not old because of their age. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved If they do, the skins will burst the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined.
