"Stir it Up"!
Some of us have been prayed for,hands have been layed on us, and we have been prophesied to over and over. Now, we need to take it a step further.We have to acknowledge and pay attention to our spiritual gifts. They need to be stirred up. With reference to Paul in 1 Timothy, who told young Timothy to stir up or neglect not the gift that was given him by the laying on of hands, we have gifts that need to be inspired, cultivated and even escalated by wiser,more experienced mentors. Sometimes, we don't realize what potential diamonds or golden nuggets lie within until, like Timothy, we are admonished to stir them up. Often, we are not aware of the vast acerage of riches that lies inside the caverns of our spirits until someone with a shovel of wisdom digs deep into perhaps unmined and unexplored territory.So I say to those who have been sitting not understanding the treasure that has been given, not to neglect it, but rather, "Stir it Up!. 1 Timothy 4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.(KJV)
