The New Wineskins written by Michael A. Gomez — May 23, 2026

I know recently the church that I go to — I think sometimes I misinterpret things in the old kind of mindset. And I’ll hear something in a message that I know the old mindset was really stuck to: the idea that this is the way of interpreting this and whatever.

But that’s not even me anymore. That old pattern of that mindset — that is on its dying bed.

The new me that is emerging is seeing things in a more healthy way, with clarity, and is noticing the negative aura that is still just barely alive, you know, kicking and screaming on that deathbed at times. Metaphorically speaking, symbolically speaking — we’re talking in figurative terms here.

But knowing that what I’m referring to is some kind of psychological thing, and what’s left of that is losing power. It has lost a lot of power. And the whole absence of that is liberation — it is experiencing freedom like I haven’t experienced in years or decades.

Going through a transformation that, at parts of it, I admit was painful and was rough — and there still may be some days ahead that may be rough, that may be painful in this process — but at this point, the parts that were rough were worth it every single second.

Whatever pain or tears that came out of it — I mean, they were just tears being shed from being used to something for so long. And it’s almost like, metaphorically, imagine trying to rip off old skin. You know, this is not me.

Symbolically, the picture of that — you can’t put new wine into old wineskins. You can’t do it. And I know I’ve gone back to what Jesus said.

But those old wineskins are no more. And the wine that runs through me is new life, is abundance, is gratitude. And the old wineskins just don’t work anymore to hold that.

So this is the new vessel. These are the new wineskins.
