Daily Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:

2 Timothy 1:6, “Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.”

There is a life in our spirit that has power to change us. 

That life has become a drink to us. 

It has become our food. 

As we enjoy that life, it flows and it operates. 

It has the ability to tear down our hardness. 

It has the ability to work in us to actually change our choice, change our attitude, and change our feeling. 

That life in us can do a complete work on our insides, because it has passed through human living and death itself. 

It has resurrected and ascended all the way to the throne, and now it has been dispensed into our spirit and is living and operating and working in US.

What we need to do is simply stir up what is already within us. 

2 Timothy 1:6-7 says, “Stir up [or, fan into flame] the gift of God which is in you  . . . For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 

Resurrection power is in your spirit. 

You do not know the potential that is there! 

All you have to do is fan into flame the gift of God which is in you. 

The Greek verb literally means “to fire life up,” to “fan” it. 

Fire up what is smoldering there. 

This means that you and I have a spirit that is joined to the resurrected, ascended Christ. 

And this resurrected, ascended One is just waiting for our spirits to be fanned. 

For example, when you come to a meeting of the church and you sing, pray, and praise, you are fanning. 

You are “firing life up.” 

Then that life operates. 

Or during the day as you are going through some kind of trial, open yourself to call “Jesus.” 

By speaking His name you are fanning the flame, causing that resurrection life to operate and work. 

Until Tomorrow,

With a Shepherd’s Love

Pastor
