Stir Up Your Gifts || Dr. Denise Strothers
The Greek word translated “stir up” denotes the kindling of a fire, as by bellows. Anyone who has ever tended a campfire knows that stirring up the glowing embers of a dying fire can cause those embers to flame up again and burn more brightly. Since all believers receive the gift of the Holy Spirit at salvation the Holy Spirit brings other gifts with Him and we each have the responsibility of seeking within and God to find out what the gift(s) are. The Scripture does not suggest keeping the Spirit’s flame ablaze by our own human effort. Instead, the Holy Spirit requires our willing cooperation to fill and enable us.
