John 6:14-15, says “Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.” It is imperative that we receive the new wine, but we must receive the new wine skin before we receive the new wine. In this passage the people say what Jesus did, but after they saw it, they wanted Him to run for office so to speak. Jesus is not running for senate. He isn’t running to be the President of the United States. Jesus understood that the kingdom is not given by the voting ballots of men, but it is established by the judgment and Justice of the cross! The verdict (Judgment) was passed that Christ would be crucified, but His resurrection brought forth the justice or the righteousness that would bring the kingdom to earth on the day of Pentecost! Isaiah 45:13, says, “I have raised (Resurrected) him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city (ecclesia), and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.” The Holy Spirit placed the kingdom in the heart of the Church, and we must move in the demonstration of the Spirit and power to manifest the justice and judgments of the kingdom of God through the miraculous for Jesus tells us in John 18:36 that His kingdom was not of this world. We are in the world, but we are not of the world.”
