Some vessels are not so fun to be inside at the moment but if we just allow ourselves to “be still” and let him perfect that which concerns us, we will come out with our scent changed! Therefore his taste remained in him, And his scent has not changed.” Yes, it is when we go down into this wine cellar and allow the Holy Spirit to empty us that we are changed. 48:11 it says “Moab has been at ease from his youth He has settled on his dregs, And has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, Nor has he gone into captivity. The only thing that is alive is the mind that has tasted the sweetness of the highest good.” Yes our love begins to be “set in order”. It is sustained and held together steadily and securely in its uninterrupted course. In this wine cellar one becomes far removed from the things that normally invade the mind which are empty and pointless merriment, idle amusements, vain delights and strife of man. ![]() “In that place by the abundance of wine and the plenty of God’s house, the torrent of love is brought to a boil, it overflows in its elation. Where darkness meets the sweet we are nourished in His Love. What ever is brought into that cellar is wine or becomes wine for the fire of divine love takes it over, every bit of it, and consumes it and like ordinary fire, changes it into its own nature. Obviously you will find a lot of wine down there which is the joy in the Holy Ghost. This wine cellar becomes a hiding place where we find refuge and refreshing. Not everyone is ready to participate in this vast pursuit, it comes by hard work and simplicity of heart. We can call it going down into the wine cellar. Deep calls unto deep at the noise of your waterspouts! Sometimes it’s just time to take a dive deeper into the vast ocean of God’s wisdom and knowledge. The riches of salvation are His wisdom and knowledge. “He brought me into the cellar of wine, he set in order charity in me.” ![]()
