Here's a little sumthin sumthin...

John 2:9-10

9When the headwaiter tasted the water which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom,
10and said to him, "Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people have drunk freely, then he serves the poorer wine; but you have kept the good wine until now."

Everything that Jesus does in this chapter is really significant to revealing Him as our Bridegroom God. These two verses especially jumped out at me when I read through this chapter again just a few days ago. Now I might be completely wrong, but I believe that these two verses explain the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on a generation and it all comes through a place of intimacy and communing with the Holy Spirit.
The servants knowing (apart from basically everyone else, excluding maybe Mary and Jesus' disciples) the wine had once been water is my connection to the secret place and how God works with us apart from our every day activities. (also the act of obedience by the servants to fill the water pots and take some of the water to the headwaiter is another lesson, but I’m not going to go into that.) Then the headwaiter calls the bridegroom and acknowledges the good wine last, which in my mind signifies Jesus giving the Holy Spirit and in the last days allowing a greater outpouring on the last generation (us).
So how do i relate this to TVVT? Well I’d say its a huge encouragement to keep seeking the Lord in the secret place. And I believe this also ties right in with Joel 2: 28-29

28"It will come about after this
That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind;
And your sons and daughters will prophesy,
Your old men will dream dreams,
Your young men will see visions.
29"Even on the male and female servants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days.

So lets pray and solidify Jesus as our Bridegroom in our hearts this week. The more you acknowledge Him in this way the quicker this will become a reality in your heart. Amen! God Bless!!!
