Shalom,

THIS from today's "From Faith To Faith" by Kenneth and Gloria Copeland is important to keep in mind as you go through a busy holiday season.It is more important now than at any other time that born again believer stay on fire for the things of God, keeping HIM ever present in your thoughts and affections so that we can stay in position to help the helpless!

Stir Up the Power

Greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears.... I remind you to stir up 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.  2 Timothy 1:4,6-7, New King James Version

There are times when you know what God has called you to do, but you just don't feel you have the inner resources you need to do it. Somehow you've simply run dry. You know the Word says that "out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water" (John 7:38). But, during those times, you can't even find the creek bank, much less the river. The Word of God tells us how to handle those situations through a clear command: "Stir up the gift inside you."

You stir yourself up! Everything you need is already in you. Jesus put it there. Everything you'll ever need to accomplish what God has called you to do has been placed inside you by God Almighty. Faith is in there. Power is in there. Love is in there. Believe that. Speak it out. Say it to yourself now, right out loud:

"In the Name of Jesus, I stir up the gift that's within me by faith. I'm stirring up my faith. I'm not going to wait until I feel stirred up. I'm stepping out by faith and expecting my feelings to follow! I'm stirring up the love of God that's in me. I'm stirring up the power. I'm stirring up myself and running the devil out of my affairs. I'm stirring myself up in the Spirit of the living God! I am stirred up!"
AMEN! Stay full of the Word, full of faith, filled with the Spirit and power and overflowing with love. You will NOT fail to reach the lost with that attitude! HALLELUJAH! Here is Hillsong Young and Free with: "This Is Living":



Shalom in Him!
