Stir up the Gift of God

2Tim.1:6-7. " Wherefore I put you in remembrance that you stir up the Gift of God, which is in you by the putting on of my hands. For God has not given us the Spirit of fear; but of power and love and sound mind." Many of us come to Christ broken, lost, and with doubt and unbelief printed on our hearts. But the moment the Lord sets us free we become on fire, and do about anything for the Lord. A new believer will run to their family and friends, letting them know about how Jesus Delivered them out of darkness. Nothing can stop a born-again believer from reaching out to the harvest. Then over time many stop reaching out, only to find the fire burned out. They may have become busy with something or find no time to reach out. The fire has gone out because there is no fuel added to it. A backslider does not let go of God immediately. They just take their eyes off God, and little at a time they are back in the world. So many try to serve both God and the world at the same time, and only find themselves struggling for a way out of the sin nature. Paul told Timothy "Remember that you stir up the Gift of God", rekindle the embers in you. This is the Fire of the Holy Spirit, and  we as believers must rekindle it. It takes the Holy Spirit to bring fire, and we are to keep it burning on the inside. Get back to the fire that you once had for Christ. Come stand for Christ Jesus today. Walk in the Spirit of God, get into the Power,Love, and the Sound Mind, He has given us. Praise the Lord.
