Living Kingdom Large
And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. (Luke 5:37, NIV)

We weren't created to live small lives with little goals, little dreams, and little influence. God created us to live abundant lives. No matter what level you're at, you're not supposed to get stuck and stay there. God is a God of increase. He has something bigger in your future. Each one of us have an assignment.

Colossians 1:10: "So that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God."
Ephesians 2:10: "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."

If you're going to live this large life, it starts in your thinking. Jesus said, "You can't put new wine into old wineskins." (Romans 12:2: Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.")

Wineskins were made out of leather. When they got old, they hardened and wouldn't expand. If you put new wine in them, they would burst. Jesus was saying, "You can't have a new life with old thinking." You can't go around thinking you've reached your limit and never get good breaks. Limited thinking leads to a limited life. Get rid of that old wineskin. You are full of possibilities. You have seeds of greatness. You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14; 1 Peter 2:9) There is untapped potential in you right now. Start thinking bigger, believing bigger, and expecting bigger. That's called FAITH!

Prayer & Devotional Tips
Before you even begin your devotion, start with a prayer asking God to share His wisdom with you. The Bible says in James 4:8, “Come near to God and He will come near to you.” By reaching out to God at the beginning of your devotion, you'll be more likely to feel His presence.
Prayer Requests & Testimonies
Our prayer for you over the next month is that your passion for God and His Word will be ignited, and that you will develop a hunger for His presence that is greater than ever before! We pray you make a spiritual investment and seek clarity in the areas of spiritual, personal, family and community. Don’t ever settle for anything less than a life full of passion and spiritual zeal for God. Keep the fire for God burning in your heart and do whatever it takes to feed your spiritual hunger for God.

Each day of prayer and fasting, we encourage you to keep a daily journal. Write any revelations that God gives you about yourself and about life in general. Share your prayer requests and your testimonies. Let's go into the War Room together!
