Stir it Up

Pastor Joel @ Lakewood Church

• An ember is a glowing, hot coal made of greatly heated wood, coal, or other carbon-based material that remain after, or sometimes precede, a fire.

• Embers can glow very hot, sometimes as hot as the fire which created them.

• They radiate a substantial amount of heat long after the fire has been extinguished,embers can be used to relight a fire after it has gone out without the need to rebuild the fire – in a conventional fireplace, a fire can easily be relit up to 12 hours after it goes out, provided that there is enough space for air to circulate between the embers and the introduced fuel.

Under all of the ashes, a flame is still buried underneath.

Then I said, "I will not make mention of Him, Nor speak anymore in His name." But His  word was in my heart like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, And I could not.

Jeremiah 20:9 NKJV

Start dreaming again.

And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

Jeremiah 29:13 NKJV

You can't be passive, indifferent, or lethargic. You can't be half-hearted. What you're believing for may be taking longer than expected so you have to stir yourself up.

This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalms 118:24 NKJV

Fan the flame, keep the fire burning.

So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.

You can't wait until you feel like it, you have to make a decision.

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.
