Theme: There is no wine
Text: John 2:1-10

We are going through similar times “There is no wine”
In Jewish times the wedding would go on for days so you had to have enough wine.
The wedding in Cana may have been a family wedding. Jesus was there with his family and all the disciples.
Mary the mother of Jesus was there in her position when the wine ran out.
The church today has lost it’s joy it has run out of wine. But we have a few more days on this world and we need new wine.
Don’t let the enemy steal your joy. There is lethargy now we don’t want to come to church. The absents of wine brings a lack of anointing.
The giant Covid 19 has robbed the church of its joy. May God raise up a David to kill that giant.
We want to enter His gates with thanksgiving and praise the devil has stolen our wine and we are limping. The protocol prevented the church from singing and praising God. Give us back our spirit of joy and merriment.
At a wedding when the wine ran out everybody stayed. What ever happens in church stay the blessings are returning. Don’t get vex and go home, stay.
No one has ever seen Jesus perform a miracle. Thank God Mary was there, she initiated a new move of God.
Stay in your place until new wine comes again. We will have church with joy once we keep our ground. This period of no wine will pass. New wine is coming to your church, your ministry, your plans and projects. Hang in there God is going to take those water tears and turn them into wine.
With God all things are possible, God will pour out new wine or we will not make it.
Stay at the wedding, Jesus said He would not ever forsake you, He will hold His position. He is still in the miracle business.
The magnitude of the changes:
The molecular structure of the water had to be changed. He changes the atomic structure of the water. He can do the same with you or your problem. Jesus can change your attitude. He can change your situation around. The church will rise up with a new Heart new vision new power. God will enable the church and it will be better. God has kept the best wine for the end time church. The devil brought us down put us underground but he he made a mistake we are rising up in new atomic power.
Joel says in the last days God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh. Don’t think it’s over, the gates of hell will not prevail, we give notice to the devil we are coming back with new power.
Mary pushed Jesus to do what he did not want to do yet. Mary was concerned, she had compassion. God is looking for new Marys to initiate a new move. She knew Jesus was the source of the new wine.
Oh that the Mary’s would cry out “there is no wine, we are all wearing masks and we feel hemmed in. We don’t feel like it, there is no joy.
Jesus said His hour was not yet come. But Mary pushed Him into his destiny. The Disciples didn’t initiate it Mary did it. She recognized a problem and knew the problem solver.
Mary turned to the servants and said Do what Jesus tells you to do. She knew something was going to happen.
He uses what they had, water. Work with God to do a miracle.
Jesus said “Fill the water pots” They didn’t half fill the jars but filled them to the brim. Fill the pots with praise with your tears.
Then Jesus said “Draw them out”
There is a falling away, even Pastors are committing suicide. Stand on the Word, you can’t please the crowd, please Jesus.
He has kept the best wine to last , but he needs you to fill up the jars with water, fill it to the brim
Don’t let a day past with an empty pots in your house. Jesus wants the church to have wine and joy
