The two most vital steps in the winemaking process are pruning and training!  The pruning and training are essential for a healthy and fruitful yield during harvest season. The new wine requires a new mindset which is found in the new covenant not the old. The old branches of thought have to be cut off and trained to go in the right direction and without this process the yield will not be as healthy or fruitful. Are we willing to be pruned and trained to produce a healthy and fruitful yield during this harvest season. Are we willing to say not my will not your will be done because if we are then we will have to walk through the same pattern Jesus did which is a life of surrender. He was crushed and poured out as a drink offering for us but is He being poured into new or old wineskins. Luke 5:37-39 says “No one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled out, and the skins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into a fresh wineskin. And no one, after drinking old wine wishes for new; for he says, The old is good enough.” Let’s not say the old is good enough. Let’s not get stuck in old ways and patterns of thinking that are works based and not faith based. If you are being trained, pruned or pressed in this hour, rejoice for New Wine is about to burst forth!
