  Speaker 1: Nobody. Now do mean nobody does it like your early
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: bodic praise party with me, your girl Sherry Mackie at
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: its time, right now. Four today's word reignite the fire
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: within two Timothy one in six, the amplified says, that
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: is why I remind you to fan into the flame,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the gracious gift of God, that inner fire, the special
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: endowment which is in you. Have you ever noticed how
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: a fire can burn low without actually going out. The
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: embers are still there, the heat is still present. It
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: just needs oxygen, just a little staring to burst back
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: into flames. Well, that's the picture the Apostle Paul gives Timothy.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Timothy was gifted, he was called, he was anointed. Yet
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: somewhere along the journey, discouragement had crept in. Maybe the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: criticism was loud, maybe the setbacks were heavy, Maybe the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: progress just was slow. So Paul didn't tell him to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: get a new gift. He told him to stir up
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the one he already had. See, sometimes we need to
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: stir up the gift on the inside of us. We
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: think we need something new, We think we need a
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: new opportunity, a new connection, a new platform. But often
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: what we really need is to reignite with God already
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: placed inside of us. The passion may feel dim, the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: dream may seem distant, the confidence may have taken a hit,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: but the gift is still there. Disappointments can cause you
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to pull back. A prayer that wasn't answered the way
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you hoped can make you hesitant to believe again. A
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: door that closes can tempt you to settle. It's easier
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to stay comfortable than to risk trying again. But comfort
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: zones don't produce destiny. Growth requires a stern God is
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: saying to you today what said to Timothy. Fan it
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: into the flame. Fan that flame on the inside of you.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Stir up that dream you shell because it didn't happen
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: on your timetable. Stir up that healing you stop praying for.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Stir up that calling you thought was too big for you.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: The fire may look small, but it's not dead. One
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: step of faith, one bold prayer, one act of obedience
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: can cause that ember to blaze all over again. You
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: have gifts you haven't fully tapped in two There are
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: talents you've only scratched the surfaces. There is favor on
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: your life that hasn't yet been revealed. You have not
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: reached your destiny. What hasn't worked out is not a
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: sign to quit, It's a sign to press in. Yes,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I get it. There may be obstacles, Yes, there may
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: be opposition, but the forces for you are greater than
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the forces against you. When God breathed life into you,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: he plays greatness inside of you. You and God together,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: you're the major. So don't let yesterday's disappointment silence tomorrow's promise.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Don't let fear smother the flame. You were not created
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: to smolder. You were created to burn bright. Fan it feeded,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: protect it, and watch God take that inner spark and
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: turn it into a fire that lights your path forward.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Oh Father, God, thank you. Thank you for the gifts
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and the dreams that you placed inside of us. Forgive
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: us for the times we let discourage with them the flame. Today, God,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: we choose to stir up our faith and reignite our passion.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Breathe fresh fire into our spirit. Give us courage to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: step out, to believe again, and to grow into all
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: you created us to be. God, we declare that the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: fire inside of us will not go out. In Jesus' name. Hey,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: now that's your word for today. Take it, apply it
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to your everyday life, and you continue to be encouraged
