The Winepress

- Pastor Rusty - April 8th, 2025

“And he began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a pit for the winepress and built a tower and leased it to tenants and went into another country.”

I woke up about 3:30 in the morning the other day. As I set up, I caught a vision of people standing with robes for garments. I could only see their bare feet and the lower part of their robes. Their feet were covered with the blood of grapes as if they had been tramping grapes in a wine vat. The hems of their garments were also stained with the blood of grapes. Then the vision disappeared.

The Lord has planted a vineyard here in the Ozarks over a hundred years ago, (probably closer to two hundred years). The prayer gatherings all over this region are turning into winepresses where the blood of the grapes is being harvested and released. This particular Ozarkian wine is for the healing of a nation. Where He will once again “pour in the OIL and the WINE” into His bride for the healing of the nations.

I’ve listened to the sound that is being released from pastors, preachers, apostles, and prophets in recent months. There is a distinction being made between those who have the blood of grapes on their feet and those who do not. All seem to love speaking from a platform of God’s presence, but the Lord has made a distinction between those who actually participate in the process that affords them to speak from the platform of His presence. Years ago, Belinda and I were based out of the Rio Grand Valley while working in Mexico and beyond. A prophet was holding meetings in Brownsville Tx. And Belinda and I were asked to lead the worship services for these meetings. Each night Belinda and I would lead a company of believers in worship while the wonderful presence of God filled the place. Each night the prophet would show up 20 or 30 minutes after the worship started and would walk into the platform of God’s presence and begin to minister. On the third night I told Belinda, “If he does that again then I’m walking out as soon as he takes the mike. Well, I didn’t get to test my resolve as he actually showed up on time and actually participated in the process that allowed him to minister from an atmosphere of God’s presence. My point is this; Everyone benefits from the releasing of the healing wine but not all value the process by which the wine is extracted from the vine. And there is a distinction between those who have the blood of grapes on their feet and stains on the hem of their garments.

Evidently you want to break the skin of the grape without crushing the seed. The foot (after thousands of years of winemaking) is still idyllic for this process. Crushing the grape without crushing the seed… mmmm🤔… only God!

“Holy Father, get the winepresses up and running. Fill your house with wine and myrrh. In Jesus name… Amen!” Pastor Rusty

“He has brought me to the house of wine, and his banner over me is love.” SOS 2:4.
