additions to drawing out the wine


In all six Jars we have a choice of drawing out the wine or not. We draw out the wine by choice.

 

Phil 4:8&9 says “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.   Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice.   And the God of peace   will be with you.”

 

Gal 5:22 – 26 says; “  But the fruit  of the Spirit is love,  joy, peace,  patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  gentleness and self-control.  Against such things there is no law.   Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature  with its passions and desires.    Since we live by the Spirit,  let us keep in step with the Spirit. 

Let us not become conceited,  provoking and envying each other.

 

We must make a conscious choice to bring these things forward in our life and leave things that are contrary out of our life. But it is a purposeful choice it will not happen on it’s own. Paul discovered the war in himself and that even when he was working at drawing out the wine the sinful part of him often made it to the surface. In all six areas of life we must choose and work to draw out the wine.
