Signs, Signs, Everywhere are Signs!

This morning I had a dream that woke me up.  It's been my experience, when I dream and remember it upon awakening, it is something the LORD is trying to tell me.  So I prayed and asked what it meant and the Holy Spirit revealed to me something so simple, yet so profound.
You're probably wondering what my dream was. so I'll share.
I dreamed that my Dad had a trophy that was very dear to him and it somehow had gotten broken.  I told him that I knew how to fix it and I would take it with me to repair. 
However, as soon as I looked for the glue to repair the trophy, I found the glue was all dried up, so I kept searching until I found NEW glue that hadn't been opened. 
I began to glue the broken piece on and the piece I had been touching started to crumble in my hands.  So I had to glue that piece back on, and then another piece began to crumble.  It seemed that each piece I touched to secure the broken piece would begin to disintegrate and I realized I was running out of glue.
As I said, I prayed and asked the LORD to help me to understand.  He stated, "the past is gone, even if there are broken pieces in your past, you can not fix them by holding on to them, you have to let them go.  Also, stop building trophies to the past, it can not be undone. New glue on old pieces won't hold; the integrity has already been compromised."
I decided to study it out and I found in the Word, several scriptures that show us that the NEW and OLD don't mix.  In fact, if we focus too hard on the old, we may be in danger of  not recognizing the new when it comes.  In Isaiah 43:19 AMP we see:
Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
In Matthew 9:17 AMP we see that NEW wine is so potent that it will destroy OLD wineskins:
Neither is new wine put in old wineskins; for if it is, the skins burst and are torn in pieces, and the wine is spilled and the skins are ruined. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved.
In my study I also found that there are 32 scriptures speaking of NEW WINE.  I found that interesting and I don't know about you, but I am sensing that the LORD is getting ready to do something NEW and it is something that we have NEVER seen before.  There is a sense of urgency to be prepared and ready to receive what the LORD is getting ready to pour out.  I don't want to be caught up in the past and the ways things were done and miss out on what the LORD wants to do TODAY! 

How about you?
