Revelation
“The man of God was giving new wine to brothers and sisters from a new wine skin. Some brothers and sisters had new wine skins where the man of God poured new wine. Some wanted it to be poured into old wine skins, to which the man of God answered that it would not bring any benefit, that such wine could only be poured into new wine skins. Some ran to change their wine skins, others didn’t go and got offended remaining with the old skins.”
We can’t remain the same and receive new wine, because it will burst, and the piece of cloth will be torn off, and the wine will be spilled as worthless. But this is precious wine, and we don’t want a drop of it to be wasted.
Another revelation which is strategic, it gives us an understanding of what is happening here in the Eastern Gates, which is very important. As the Lord said, “I am who I am” and “Examine yourselves, whether you are in faith, because many are not in faith, but new wine is poured only in new wine skins. This is new man.
Therefore, look at the high mountain, at Christ Himself, imitating Him, following Him not with behavior, but with the spirit. Receive new spirit, from Christ, now receive, do not wait and pray, simply toss all the old things and receive new spirit! Why should I wait for something to fall on me? I receive new spirit now, because now is the time! Every second is a chance to renew – now receive. But you need faith of transition, an instant transition.
Revelation
“It was shown how messages come from the mouths of different people, which by their look present what they carry. People’s messages were light and dark, each containing a certain measure of light: dark ones had small measures, bright ones had great measures. These messages made up something like an atmosphere, which covered the whole earth, and there was a battle happening between messages of light over the earth and over every country of the world.
Then it was shown that in the overall atmosphere of battle of light over darkness there was a specific atmosphere of messages over different countries in the world. Israel had a special atmosphere, which was different from the overall atmosphere on the earth. (Do not cease praying for Israel)
Also it was shown how a bright light beam came from heaven above down to earth, which sustained the light messages in their fight against the dark ones, and would not let the dark ones prevail.
Over Russia the was an atmosphere of battle between the light and dark messages, which was like a dark thunderstorm sky with heavy clouds and beams of bright light breaking through the clouds. In this battle of the light messages over the dark ones the message that came from the Eastern Gates was taking an active part. The message looked like a very bright fiery beam. The fiery light of the beam came to help in those places on earth where the battle was especially hard, and where dark messages nearly prevailed over the messages of light. The light of the beam wouldn’t let the light be quenched in such places, but it reinforced the light and brought breakthroughs where it looked like there was no hope.

I want also to speak a revealed word: some of us are to be lifted up yet. Some of us have not yet reached the climax of destiny, you are not where the Lord wants to see you, regardless of your age. You simply got scared at some point and dropped off the race, leaped aside when you saw an impending danger, etc. You are not where you are supposed to be, and that is true. Some of us are already late, you are supposed to be there, but you are not. Others have it yet ahead, it’s not their time yet, and that’s positive. I want to say that in order to be lifted up there, you have to humble yourself.
There’s this message in Ezekiel 28, where the king of Tyre receives a message, but it is a word to Satan, to the cherub who covers:
“Because your heart is lifted up, and you say, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods,
In the midst of the seas’, yet you are a man, and not a god, though you set your heart as the heart of a god (Behold, you are wiser than Daniel! There is no secret that can be hidden from you! With your wisdom and your understanding
you have gained riches for yourself, and gathered gold and silver into your treasuries; by your great wisdom in trade you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches),” ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Because you have set your heart as the heart of a god…”(Ezekiel 28:1-6) – and he speaks of his fall further on.
So today one must humble himself. Receive the Spirit. To humble oneself doesn’t mean behave humbly. This is the Spirit of Christ, where there’s humility – “learn from me for I am gentle and humble in heart”.
And kinglike spirit has humility.
Some people play “cool and powerful pastors and leaders” – there’s no Christ in this play. You don’t have to play anyone, no need to put on anyone’s copy. You need to be yourself in Christ, inside Jesus. For that you need to receive the spirit.
I want to pray today that we receive the spirit. This is not any lecture, this is life.
Receive the right spirit and remove the unrighteous one. You accumulate the unrighteous spirit when you envy brothers and sisters, restrain from fellowship, look with suspicion – this is all kitchen with rotten foods, nothing in common with Christ. Christ is the radiant light, His eyes are pure, His heart is beautiful! Why don’t you clothe yourself in kinglike clothes?
Imagine a fool dressed in royal clothes and beautiful precious crown and rings, but he is a fool and low gossiper – what an ugly distortion. Change his clothes, give him rags and remove him from here, cast him into the outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. What is he doing here not having a wedding garment amidst the church of God? We’ve got to lift up ourselves, in our walk, in our fellowship. Think, what spirit are you of.
There’s this spirit of Daniel. He transited, he was really high, didn’t fear kings. In times of Nebuchadnezzar he had a testimony that the spirit of Holy God was in him. What testimony do you have?
Nebuchadnezzar spoke it himself: “Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, because I know that the Spirit of the Holy God is in you, and no secret troubles you” (Dan.4:9 )
Imagine what kind of spirit that is! And it’s the same spirit that was in our fathers and brothers, and it is today in some of our brethren!
And further on Daniel speak to Nebuchadnezzar with no fear:
“Therefore, O king, let my advice be acceptable to you; break off your sins by being righteous, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps there may be a lengthening of your prosperity.” And Nebuchadnezzar blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever.
Then his son Belshazzar rose, a shallow and godless man, who touched the vessels of the temple, which his father feared to do. And fingers of a man’s hand appeared and wrote on the wall. The king got scared, his face turned white – noting it was still Babylon full of riches, it had not fallen yet.
“The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came to the banquet hall. The queen spoke, saying, “O king, live forever! Do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your countenance change. There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the Spirit of the Holy God. And in the days of your father, – not in your days! – light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him; and King Nebuchadnezzar your father—your father the king—made him chief of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers. Inasmuch as an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting dreams, solving riddles, and explaining enigmas were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, now let Daniel be called, and he will give the interpretation.” (Dan. 5:10-12)
This queen, the kings wife, resembles Pilate’s wife, she speaks sober things, and I can feel disappointment in her words. That is the spirit of Pilate’s wife!
Belshazzar calls for Daniel, and Daniel stands before him as he stood before his father, who was a hundred times higher than his son. Daniel comes, he is called, he has always been called. Belshazzar promises him gifts for interpretation, but here’s what Daniel says: “Let your gifts be for yourself, and give your rewards to another – for this alone one could have his head off, but not Daniel – yet I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation… But you his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, although you knew all this. And you have lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven… And this is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of each word. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it; TEKEL: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting; PERES: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.” Then Belshazzar gave the command, and they clothed Daniel with purple and put a chain of gold around his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom”.
So Daniel was a ruler in the kingdom, not a minister – we somewhat underestimate Daniel’s position, he was the third ruler with Belshazzar – this is who God’s prophet is. He can rule. Prophet was king in judges. Who is the judge? This is the king-prophet. What differed the judges from the later kings after David? – They were people led by the Spirit of God, king led by the Holy Spirit
And we are talking about the Spirit we are to receive. Because it is not written “royal priesthood” only, but “kings and priests”. I used to think we are all kings and priests, I don’t say so anymore, because I look at him and see he is no king, but a slave, because his spirit is of a mouse, really small.
King and priest is the one who truly is such, who has received the spirit of king and priest. Therefore, the common salvation has to be tested, all things need to be reconsidered. Apostles said: “If the righteous one is scarcely saved,
Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?”(1Peter 4:18) – we are scarcely saved. And “Save yourselves from this perverse generation” (Acts 2:40)
Today there’s a great need in a new generation of faithful people. And a new generation in the spirit of Daniel is rising – these are people of the front-rank Church of Christ. These are people who will restore the lost authority.
In the church history there were people who were jealous about the lost authority of the Church and gave their lives in order to restore it. People like Gideon, who returned glory to Israel, David, Hezekiah, who after the desolation time brought back Passover and remade the covenant.
And this new generation of faithful people with the spirit of Daniel must arise, I call young people first of all, along with those who are young in the spirit, even among the old ladies, who hear this and their heart trembles. Arise, receive new spirit, the spirit of Daniel, the spirit of king!
There are a few thing that feed this spirit.
You feed yourself with pure food. You can’t eat filthy food, watch rotten contents. You don’t read the Bible, God’s Word is of no authority to you, you don’t believe what it says, but you believe all kinds of lectors from You Tube! How can you have rolled down to this, when instead of Scriptures you believe talkers? How can it be that God’s Word interests you no more, but those smart guys do? Those experts, experienced moms and dads, psychologists… This is no spirit of Daniel, and this is why you carry doubts, you are full of doubts, commotion and contradiction in your mind and heart instead of peace and shalom. This is why are drawn by the world, keep struggling with sin and you lose it every time.
“But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; – Daniel wasn’t afraid to test God. Test God, if you stand on the Word! – therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. Now God had brought Daniel into the favor and goodwill of the chief of the eunuchs. And the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, “I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and drink. For why should he see your faces looking worse than the young men who are your age? Then you would endanger my head before the king.” So Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, “Please test your servants for ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then let our appearance be examined before you, and the appearance of the young men who eat the portion of the king’s delicacies; and as you see fit, so deal with your servants.” So he consented with them in this matter, and tested them ten days. And at the end of ten days their features appeared better and fatter in flesh than all the young men who ate the portion of the king’s delicacies. Thus the steward took away their portion of delicacies and the wine that they were to drink, and gave them vegetables.
As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams”. (Dan.1:8-17) – There! It was no accident, but a result of their choice. Wisdom is a result of pure life! Therefore, purify your eyes and ears, of what you listen to with elements of psychology and magic!
“As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. Now at the end of the days, when the king had said that they should be brought in, the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. Then the king interviewed them, and among them all none was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; therefore they served before the king. And in all matters of wisdom and understanding about which the king examined them, he found them TEN TIMES BETTER than all the magicians and astrologers who were in all his realm.”(Dan.17-18) Ten times better than all the students and professors and all the educated people – when you receive the Spirit of the Holy God, you receive the spirit high and lifted up!
Therefore, watch, brothers and sisters, keep yourself in purity, eat pure food, don’t walk to fences for spicy stuff. Eat what the Lord teaches, because the Lord will put to shame the wisdom of the wise men, He considers it foolishness and even detestable. You can watch how a sister gets dark, hides her eyes, because she has believed that the church is one-armed, that all is wrong and there’s no happiness in church, and she is off to the world – miserable, not knowing that her back is naked and her private parts are now exposed, and you can read on her forehead that she has no faith.
Daniel continues his path.
“It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom one hundred and twenty satraps, to be over the whole kingdom; and over these, three governors, of whom Daniel was one, that the satraps might give account to them, so that the king would suffer no loss. Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm. (Dan. 6:1-3)
It is the same with Jesus – He watches His own, and keeps watching and watching, and watching…
“ So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian”. (Dan.6:28)
There was Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, Darius, Cyrus – and in all those days Daniel was, and in every place and time he was high. An unrighteous one stood and fell before him. Righteous ones bring him close, because they know that God and prosperity is with him.
Daniel kept receiving powerful revelations while handling his duties as a ruler – he was to take care of the crops, punish criminals, receive accounts from ministers, but he received revelations of great power. This is who true anointed one is. Whatever you do in your job, pray, seek God and abide in the Word! And never say you have no time for God, that you are too busy. Never say such detestable lie! You have always time for yourself. Better never say such word, because this is a detesting lie, and the truth is that you do have time for God.
Today we need to receive this high spirit. We must keep loyalty to the Gospel values with different governments. The Gospel has highest values. There’s the nature where it is well to be in the Holy Spirit, where it is well to receive blessings, but these are not blessings. Value is something greater.
Value is Christ in the center. Value is the cross in the center. Value is the supernaturalness of the church that walks in power and lives not by the flesh. Value is the holiness of the church, it is the virtue and godliness, to do good works. Value is evangelism and love to the perishing ones. Value is to prepare yourself to meet the Bridegroom, present yourself worthy of the King!
Many preachers don’t preach the values. They preach simply the nature or the atmosphere, in which the Gospel dwells, about pleasant things and goose bumps during worship and other things, which are not the Gospel values. Discern this! Listen to what values they preach and be instructed and lift up the Gospel values.
What else people of high spirit had is the ability to suffer for their faith, their principles and never change them.
“Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early day” (Dan.6:10) – He kept praying the same way exactly both under good or dangerous circumstances, and didn’t look around. Daniel has and God commanded us to worship Him – what kind of permission do we need, when the Lord commanded us to worship and gather together.
I don’t like Darius who still cast Daniel into the den of lions, and even sealed the stone on the mouth of the den with his signet ring. And the lions were pressed by the Angel.
“ So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.”(Dan. 6:28)
So this high royal spirit of Daniel is the generation of the front-rank church. The spirit of a man of God is another spirit, like Caleb and Joshua had. The rest were afraid and spoke against the advancement, spoke of negative things and obstacles. But Caleb and Joshua had another spirit and they entered the promised land.
High spirit seeks not cheep or free-be things. People think that if it’s cheaper, then it’s God – I think it’s on the opposite. God never economizes. If it’s free then it may likely be from the devil, and there’s probably a trap behind it. God has it expensive and quality, because His blood is priceless.
Abraham was of royal spirit, he never sought free-be opportunities, he paid the price. David had a royal spirit – he didn’t kill Saul, he cried over Saul and Jonathan, he took his wife Michal and kept her arrested to the end, so that she doesn’t bring shame on Judah’s bloodline, the shame her father made to David. When Absalom defiled his concubines, he locked them up and never touched them – this is royal spirit of David.
Moses carries the spirit of royal priesthood inside, though he wasn’t a priest himself, but anointed Aaron. He saw God, he walked before Him and wept for the people, he received the commandments and sprinkled the book of the Law, he established the priesthood – he had the spirit of royal priesthood.
Spirit of prophets, Samuel, a great prophet who brought down thunder and rains on the harvest, who walked with God and with such a host and trance that the unrighteous Saul fell and rolled on the ground. He was the last judge before kings. He wept over Saul and anointed David. He received David in his persecution, instructed and strengthened him.
Apostolic spirit – Paul, having his solid education, counts it all for nothing. He used it, but he valued the Blood of Christ, and he had an Apostolic spirit, by which he carried redemption.
And of course the highest Spirit is the Spirit of Christ, the Spirit of the King of kings and Lord of lords. And where was this Spirit? – He was on the First Church! What kind of spirit is on your church? Think about your congregation, whether Christ’s Spirit reigns there.
Christ’s Spirit fell on the First Church with the tongs of fire, and there it remained and led them and multiplied.
And I make this call today – receive the high superior spirit! Perhaps, you make efforts, but the spirit is not the one. As the revelation in the beginning says, many present old wineskins for the new wine. But the Lord doesn’t give new wine into old wine skins. New wine is new spirit. And those who present new wineskins, new spirit falls.
Who are you? What kind of wine skins? Do you hold to the old thing, trying to justify yourself in that, be contained and strengthened in that? Or you walk by faith on water?
Receive the new spirit into the most inner parts of your inside and bring this new spirit into all spheres of your lives What do they speak of you, how do they know you? A little man who doesn’t smell Christ? You can change it all – humble yourself and receive the new spirit. David says: “Renew the right spirit within me” Remove that rotten water and give me pure spring water.
Superior spirit of the King of kings! Let us receive the Word, receive the will of God.
