Fan The Flame Within You!

For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self‑discipline. 2 Tim 1:6-7

Are you ready to unleash the enabling power of the Holy Spirit that dwells within you?! It is time to wake up and live! Time to stir the fire that has been smoldering and turn it into a raging flame for good in our communities, in our country, in our world.

We have - each one of us - special gifts and a special purpose that is uniquely and divinely established. It is only when we use our gifts to achieve God's purpose that we find true joy, peace and fulfillment.

So fan the flame of desire to serve; make a difference in someones life this week and feel the joy of fulfillment in the spirit.

JER 20:9 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.


Blogging is a popular pastime on the Internet. The Pew Internet and American Life Project surveyed 7012 adults about blogging. Their July 2006 report estimates that about 12 million American adults blog. The survey concludes that while political bloggers grab the headlines, the majority of bloggers (37%) spend their time blogging about their lives and experiences. Politics played a starring role in about 11% of blogs. Entertainment blogs measured in at 7%, followed by sports at 6%, current events and news at 5%, business at 5%, technology at 4%, and religion, faith, or spirituality at 2%. Other blogging topics include hobbies, illness, education, organizations and volunteering.

Let us use this tool with passion in our hearts to make a difference in the spiritual lives of all we can touch!
