"Behold, The King's Cupbearers are Coming!"

I have been seeking the Lord about the new spiritual season that the Church is about to move into. As a result of my seeking, the Spirit of the Lord spoke these words:

"Behold the King’s cupbearers. Watch for them because they are about to come forth. They will come with their cups filled with the new wine of this coming season. This wine is a rare vintage; it is like the water that was turned to wine at the beginning of the Church Age. It is the wine that My servants will serve in this, the end of the age.

New Wine and Golden Oil

"This new wine is the revelation that the cupbearers will bring forth in this coming season. I have filled their cups with new wine, and I will also fill their cups with the golden oil. The new wine will be served to reveal My plans for My Glorious Church, and the golden oil will produce the anointing for the building of My house.

"I will send these cupbearers in the spirit of Nehemiah to be the repairers of the breach. They will repair the walls that have been broken down, and they will hang the gates that keep the enemy out of My habitations. Is it not written that I have come: To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified. And they shall rebuild the old ruins, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations. (Isaiah 61:2-4)

For each season a new vintage of wine is given to impart the revelation of that season and its purpose.

For each season fresh oil is given, which will produce the anointing of My visitation.

For each season divine grace is imparted to empower those who will ask to be used in that season according to My purposes.

"Again I say, behold the King’s cupbearers, for they are coming, and their cups are running over with My word and the power of My Spirit. My hand will be upon them to lead them into the fullness of My purposes, for I Myself will fill their cups, says the Lord."

A Heart Like Nehemiah

Those who will become the King’s cupbearers will have hearts like Nehemiah had. Nehemiah wept over the broken down walls of Jerusalem (see Nehemiah 1:1-10). In chapter one, verse eleven of the book that bear his name, Nehemiah prayed. "O Lord, I pray, please let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants who desire to fear Your name; and let Your servant prosper this day, I pray, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man." For I was the king's cupbearer.

The Spirit moved me to examine the 1:11 scriptures that the Old Testament began and ended with and the beginning and ending of the Church Age as recorded in the New Testament. This is what I found: Genesis 1:11-13 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth"; and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. So the evening and the morning were the third day."

Malachi 1:11 "For from the rising of the sun, even to its going down, My name shall be great among the Gentiles; In every place incense shall be offered to My name, and a pure offering; For My name shall be great among the nations," Says the LORD of hosts.

Acts 1:9-11 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."

The New Testament Church begins with a promise of the return of the Lord in the same manner that He ascended into heaven. He will again come to His people with clouds of glory. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord."

Before He comes FOR His Church He will come TO His Church. The new season will reveal the risen Christ to those who desire to know Him and pursue the knowledge of the Lord. (Hosea 6:1-3)

If we will, like John, worship Him in spirit and in truth we shall see Him as John saw Him. And, we shall know His name as Malachi prophesied, for His name is revealed in Revelation 1:11: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last," and, "What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."

Are You One of Them?

I have written that which I have heard, "Behold the King’s cupbearers" are coming. Perhaps you will be one of them. That very well could be if you have a heart like Nehemiah had. And, if you do, God’s hand will also be upon you, and the Lord of Glory will fill your cup.

Nehemiah 2:17-18 Then I said to them, "You see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come and let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer be a reproach." And I told them of the hand of my God which had been good upon me, and also of the king's words that he had spoken to me. So they said, "Let us rise up and build." Then they set their hands to this good work.

The King’s cupbearers are going to be the builders of this coming move of God. The revelation and anointing that will be poured into their cups will come from the great grace that the Lord has spoken of at the beginning of the year 2003. Let the prayer of our hearts be – "Fill my cup, Lord, and let it overflow. Amen."
