BEFORE NOVEMBER BEGINS, PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A NEW SEASON | APOSTLE JOSHUA SELMAN

Prepare for a new season with Apostle Joshua Selman in this teaching on new wineskins, spiritual growth, renewed thinking and becoming ready for what God wants to do through your life. Before November begins, take time to examine the beliefs, attitudes and habits shaping your decisions. Drawing from Matthew 9:14–17, this message explores why new wine requires new wineskins: the spiritual and mental structures needed to receive, sustain and steward greater responsibility. Apostle Joshua Selman challenges believers and leaders to reconsider limiting perspectives while remaining rooted in Scripture, humility, honour and devotion to Jesus. He addresses the influence of teaching on our understanding of God, relationships, work, finances and Christian living. Preparation involves prayer and practical responsibility, including learning, productive work and the willingness to correct mistaken ideas. Three responses run through the teaching: acknowledge the limits of your knowledge, examine teachings through Scripture, and pursue greater understanding without allowing personal loyalties or prejudices to prevent growth. The Bereans in Acts 17 provide an example of receiving the Word eagerly while searching the Scriptures. Renewal must also preserve love and character. The message warns against pride, contempt for other ministries, self-righteousness and abandoning consecration. It closes with worship, intercession for the Church, personal repentance, an invitation to salvation and prayers of blessing. In this message, discover: • How the new-wineskins illustration applies to spiritual preparation. • Why balanced growth includes your mind, work, relationships and character. • How to test teaching with Scripture and remain teachable. • Why honour and humility matter when correcting your understanding. • How to pray for the Church while examining your own heart. Listen with your Bible. Identify one belief to examine and one practical adjustment to make as you prepare for a new season. Revisit the three keys, pray through the closing intercession and share this message with someone.
