House of Influence
Acts 1:8 NKJ
“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon
you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea
and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Luke 5:34-39 NIV
Jesus answered, “Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast
while he is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom
will be taken from them; in those days they will fast.” He told them this
parable: “No one tears a piece out of a new garment to patch an old
one. Otherwise, they will have torn the new garment, and the patch
from the new will not match the old. And no one pours new wine into
old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine
will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, new wine must be
poured into new wineskins. And no one after drinking old wine wants
the new, for they say, ‘The old is better.’”
