Stirring Up That Which Is Within

[Albert Finch]

2 Timothy 1:4,6,7 - 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.

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.

Observation

The word of God tells me how to handle those situations through a clear command: "stir up the gift inside you."

Everything I need is already in me. Jesus put it there......faith is there....power is there.....Love is there.

Affirmation

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 myself up in the Spirit of the living God!
