God's plans are always perfect, but because He works through imperfect instruments (You and I), plans sometimes fail. Failure is always because of our unwillingness to work in harmony with God. If it's hard to put new wine into old wineskins, then we must also realize it's hard to teach or train people who don't want to be taught.
God's plans fail for several different reasons
-People don't understand the purpose or vision of which His plan was birthed.
-People are not trained for the tasks they are asked to do as part of the plan. God always prepares people for the task they are to do. We should follow this example.
-People sometimes are misplaced in the plan. For example, if someone with the gift of evangelizing is trying to do the work of a pastor they might faced difficult problems.
-People and/or leadership don't commit the prayer, time, effort, and money necessary to fulfill the plan.
-Their plans was made without the guidance of the Lord.
-The objectives of God's plan were not stated properly in the beginning.
-Goals were not clearly communicated to those involved.
-No one checked to see how things were going, so when difficulties arose the plan fell apart. The completion date came and no one was ready. Because there was no evaluation, there was a failure to deal with problems.
-Fear of criticism, failure, or man.
-Doubt of the ability of God to work through you.
Jesus has the perfect plan if we will do our part and execute it. We need His direction, anointing, and power. Without it the new wine will never be experienced by this generation.
