TARRY ON THE NEW WINE UNTIL YOU GET DRUNK – [BY PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT]: IT ENSURES, ASSURES AND REFRESHES – [TO BUILD UP] – YOUR FAITH-BEING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!
It’s time to TARRY for the NEW WINE- the blessed HOLY SPIRIT – until you are DRUNK, by PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT. For the process ENSURES, ASSURES, REFRESHES and BUILDS UP your faith-being in Christ Jesus’ stead. GIVE IT A GO TODAY and NOW – you will NEVER REGRET the act in GRACE.
“Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? 30 THEY THAT TARRY LONG AT THE WINE; they that go to seek MIXED WINE. 31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. . .” Proverbs 23:29-35.
WHEN LAST did you get so DRUNK in the SPIRIT and STAGGERED and PRAYED in the HOLY SPIRIT beyond your wildest IMAGINATION and COMPREHENSION – that you, and probably those around, might have thought you’ve GONE DRUNK? But NOT as in the world that leads to WOES, SORROWS, CONTENTIONS, BABBLINGS and such like. NO – but THAT DRUNK which the HOLY SPIRIT rules and controls unto ALL GOOD WORKS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen! I KNOW THE FEELING – it’s a realm WORTH finding yourself in. A realm and sphere of TARRYING IN GOD’S DIVINE PRESENCE without bothering about what God will do. This even FAR BEYOND what Moses experienced in the CLOUD, and the Apostles experienced in the TRANSFIGURATION PRAYERS with Jesus Christ in humanity.
“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with ONE ACCORD in ONE PLACE . . .12 And they were all AMAZED, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 Others MOCKING said, These men are FULL OF NEW WINE” Acts 1:1-13.
“And do not get DRUNK with ORDINARY WINE, for that is debauchery; but ever be FILLED and STIMULATED and DRUNK with the [Holy] Spirit” Ephesians 5:18/Emphasis Mine.
I know that precious items as SILVER, GOLD, DIAMOND, PLATINUM and OTHER PRECIOUS PEARL STONES of HIGH-END QUALITY are EXPENSIVE – and the DEMAND comes at HUGE COST. All simply because they are RARE to find and NOT at the surface level to pick up like some stones – sand used in BUILDING HOUSES, MOULDING BRICKS, ROAD CONSTRUCTION, etc. And individuals and corporations that are into MINING such PRECIOUS STONES do it THROUGH THE MUD. They DIG into the DEEPEST of the EARTH’S SOIL; and the process may cause the MINERS to be there for DAYS, WEEKS, or YEARS – just searching and hoping to get these HIGH-END RARE ITEMS. And however LONG it takes, they know FULL WELL that once a PIECE of such items is FOUND, they will OVERCOME the COST and TIME LAG of EXPLORATION and EXPEDITION. They will be ENRICHED BEYOND MEASURE, to forget the thriving pains of achieving the RESULTS in this sphere to obtain the rare items. That’s the process – the earnest principle of dedication and commitment, responsibility and accountability – the devotion and craving for material things that perish. How much more then shall WE be so PRINCIPLED concerning the ETERNAL TREASURE that perishes not in grace.
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto TREASURE hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. 45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking GOODLY PEARLS: 46 who, when he had found one PEARL of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it” Matthew 13:44-46.
“Lay NOT UP for yourselves TREASURES upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 but LAY UP for yourselves TREASURES in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 for where your TREASURE is, there will your HEART be also” Matthew 6:19-21 [Luke 12:33-34].
And MANY TIMES, I see some BELIEVERS in Christ Jesus’ stead who WANT GREAT THINGS from FATHER GOD to enable them obtain graciousness and gracefulness in their life path. And there are SOME who WANT Him to ORDER their STEPS ARIGHT – but they DON’T WANT to TARRY in His PRESENCE in order to OBTAIN the needed grace, wisdom, speed and sense of direction for their request, to make them have a purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling life in godliness. For it’s in God’s presence that overwhelming joy springs out to ensure and assure the right standing to do life in pleasure and not in pressure. More so, to enjoy the abounding, glowing, refreshing and rejuvenating well-being – until the day dawns in grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen!
“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:11.
“But THE PATH OF THE JUST is as the SHINING light, that SHINETH more and more unto the PERFECT (DAWN) day” Proverbs 4:18.
A good living example for all times is found in the humanity demonstration of our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus. Though He is the SON OF GOD, He subjected Himself to obedience and tarried in Father God’s presence while in humanity to fulfil the divine purpose for mankind. This He did AT MANY TIMES to GAIN the NEEDED INSTRUCTIONS, POWER and SENSE OF DIRECTION on every PIECE of His JOURNEY in HUMANITY – in order to FULFIL GOD’S CAUSE and PURPOSE in His LIFE for HUMAN REDEMPTION. Take time to search these Scriptures and learn of Him: [Mark 1:35; Luke 4:1-22; Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 9:28-36; John 18:37; 1 John 3:8].
In the world, most WISE PEOPLE don’t just DRINK with the intent to get DRUNK. They do their best to drink responsibly and accountably, and KNOW when to QUIT and WALK AWAY from the BOTTLES – in order to AVOID being DRUNK, STAGGERING, and GOING OFF their human ability to control themselves. As they say – DON’T DRIVE if you DRINK, because if you are off the safe limits, you will not only crash the car but harmfully kill or maim yourself or someone else unknowingly. People get drunk because they TARRY too long on the bottle – wine. And some as a result of mixing wine with other drinks that their body limits can’t handle and control. That’s what Proverbs 23:29-35, talks about – that those who TARRY at the wine have their person taken over by the wine into a different personality. Could you imagine what it could be like, when your person is being taken over by the NEW WINE – the Blessed Holy Spirit – while you TARRY in God’s PRESENCE?
“Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? 30 THEY THAT TARRY LONG AT THE WINE; they that go to seek MIXED WINE. 31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. . .” Proverbs 23:29-35
So, ONON A POSITIVE NOTE, when you TARRY ON and WITH the NEW WINE – the HOLY SPIRIT – in the PRESENCE of FATHER GOD, you can be ASSURED that you will be TRANSFORMED, TRANSFERRED and TRANSLATED – as Jesus Christ EXPERIENCED with the disciples in Luke 9:28-36 and as Moses EXPERIENCED in Exodus 24; Exodus 33; Exodus 40 and as the Apostles EXPERIENCED in Acts 4:1-33 to MENTION A FEW. It takes the ESSENCE of TARRYING ON the WINE for you to get DRUNK and to BECOME the NEW PERSON.
When you TAKE TIME to TARRY in GOD’S PRESENCE with the NEW WINE – the BLESSED HOLY SPIRIT – you will experience the graciousness, gracefulness and goodness of God that enables you to live purposefully, meaningfully and fulfilling – doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’ stead in humanity.
“And, behold, I send the PROMISE of my Father upon you: but TARRY ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be ENDUED WITH POWER from on high” Luke 24:49.
“But ye shall RECEIVE POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.
“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with ONE ACCORD in ONE PLACE . . .12 And they were all AMAZED, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 Others MOCKING said, These men are FULL OF NEW WINE” Acts 1:1-13.
“And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness . . . 33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.
I therefore plead with you to see the need to TARRY in the NEW WINE with a NEW YOU – for your heavenly outpouring of graciousness, gracefulness and goodness to EASE your earthly affairs without sweat and effortlessly – in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen!
Don’t you want to ensure your spirit FAITH-BEING is DAILY FRESH, REFRESHING and BUILT-UP – in order to do life and live godly effectually and efficiently? Then, be DRUNK with THE NEW WINE, in your spirit FAITH BEING – by PRAYING in the Holy Spirit. It will REJUVENATE and REVITALISE your spirit FAITH-BEING in Christ Jesus’ stead; and with that SYNERGY, you can TAKE ON any BATTLE of the DAY by the WORD of God.
“And do not get DRUNK with ORDINARY WINE, for that is debauchery; but ever be FILLED and STIMULATED and DRUNK with the [Holy] Spirit” Ephesians 5:18/Emphasis Mine.
“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves UP [founded] on your most HOLY FAITH [make progress, rise like an EDIFICE higher and higher], PRAYING in the Holy Spirit” Jude 1:20.
“For with stammering lips and ANOTHER TONGUE will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the REFRESHING: yet they would not hear” Isaiah 28:11-12.
“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to the WORD of his grace, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.
Give it a go TODAY to PRAY in the Holy Spirit – for it will make your day count and account for you in every way in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen! And it will heal and mend your broken and wounded spirit in the course of your daily goals and endeavours – and in any unprecedented circumstances. [Romans 8:26-27; Proverbs 18:14; Proverbs 17:22; Proverbs 15:13].
HAVING a BROKEN and DRIED-UP SPIRIT is a DANGEROUS PLACE to be in ONE’S STATE OF BEING.
For the SPIRIT of MAN is the CANDLE, SEARCH-LAMP, ILLUMINATION, CONNECTION SIGNAL of the TRIUNE MAN toward GOD and his BEING._
Hence there’s the NEED to KEEP IT CHARGED to the FULL BAR — for an UNINTERRUPTED, SYNCHRONIZED FELLOWSHIP with FATHER GOD to ENHANCE the RELATIONSHIP obtained in Christ Jesus’ stead.
For a BROKEN and DRIED-UP SPIRIT is an INDICATION of a DEPRESSING STATE of the BEING.
Such LEVEL of INFIRMITY can ONLY be REVITALISED, REJUVENATED and AWAKENED to LIFE by PRAYING in the SPIRIT — which is: PRAYING in the HOLY SPIRIT by your HUMAN SPIRIT-BEING to FATHER GOD, in the NAME of JESUS, by the WORD of GOD.
[Proverbs 18:14; Proverbs 17:22; Proverbs 15:13]
ALWAYS REMEMBER that MAN’S SPIRIT-BEING is MADE by the SPIRIT of GOD, and SUCH LIVES by the SPIRIT BREATH of GOD by the WORD of GOD.
Hence, the HUMAN SPIRIT is ETERNAL and LIVES in the SPHERE of ETERNITY.
Without it no MAN can LIVE under the SENSITIVENESS of GOD’S CONSCIOUSNESS.
This is WHY the spirit-HEART NEEDS to be BOOSTED NOW, DAILY and ALWAYS — in order to be SPIRIT-RULED by the WORD of GOD, FULFILLING PURPOSE MEANINGFULLY.
[1 Thessalonians 5:23; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7; Hebrews 4:12-13] AMEN!
BE A HOLY SPIRIT DRUNK BEING – TO STAY FRESH, REFRESHING AND REJUVENATING YOUR FAITH-BEING
I pray for you today, that you might abound in this enabling grace to PRAY now and always in the Spirit, by your spirit, thereby accessing God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SUMMARY:
This message is a prophetic charge to believers to TARRY in God’s presence until you are filled and “drunk” with the NEW WINE — the Holy Spirit — by PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT.
KEY POINTS:
- THE COMMAND AND THE EFFECT
You are urged to tarry for the New Wine until you get drunk by praying in the Spirit.
This process ensures, assures, refreshes and builds up your faith-being in Christ Jesus’ stead.
It mirrors Pentecost when people said of the disciples: “These men are FULL OF NEW WINE”.
Reference: Acts 2:1-13
- THE PRINCIPLE OF COSTLY PURSUIT
Like miners digging for precious stones, you must pursue eternal treasure with dedication.
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto TREASURE hid in a field… and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath”
Reference: Matthew 13:44-46
“LAY UP for yourselves TREASURES in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt”
Reference: Matthew 6:19-21
- THE PROBLEM: WANTING RESULTS WITHOUT PRESENCE
Many want God to order their steps but refuse to tarry in His presence for wisdom and grace.
Yet it is only in His presence that joy and refreshing come.
Christ is our example. Though the Son of God, He tarried in the Father’s presence.
“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy”
