Fan that Flame…

Posted on by admin

1Timothy 1:6  “…I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you…”

A fire left unattended will eventually die down to nothing but a few glowing embers. If we refuel and fan them, flames will quickly start to flicker and climb and before long the fire is ablaze again.

Our verse lets us know that this is how our God given spiritual gifts work. If we leave them unattended they will decrease and become nothing more than an ember of what they should be. People may notice them smouldering in us but be unable to see the raging beauty that they should be.

Now, just as a fire needs three things to exist: fuel, heat and oxygen, our spiritual gifts need prayer, study and fellowship to blaze. As we diligently bring these three together the flames of our spiritual gifts begin to rise and gather strength. What is an ember today can be a flame tomorrow and a raging fire in our future.

This week why not fan into flames the spiritual gifts that God gave you. Start praying over them, studying God’s Word and fellowship with other Christians who think the way you think. This will cause even the smallest dying ember of your spiritual gifts to flicker and come to life in a short time. Don’t stop when you see the first sign of flame but keep on praying, studying and fellowshipping until your spiritual gifts are a raging fire that no man can stop.

My House…

Isaiah 56:7 …my house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.”

We enjoy our house. It suits our family and people often visit and spend time with us. We made our house just the way we like it. Our house is well suited to our family and what we do. It is Glenn & Esther’s House.

Today’s verse lets us know that God has a house too. It is a house designed by God to function His way. It is a place where His family comes together. It is a dwelling place where His people want to be. It is God’s House.

So, what makes God’s house a house of prayer is simply His people praying. Prayer should be the number one occurrence in his House. Without it God’s House would be just another place like a club or a cafe. It is prayer that makes it His house!

That’s right, it takes born again believers praying to make it a house of prayer. As a part of God’s family we must set our sights on becoming a people of prayer. The key to becoming this people of prayer is that we must first become a person of prayer.

This week let’s build God’s House by taking our personal prayer life to a whole new level. As we become a person of prayer then His House will become a House of prayer. It will help to strengthen and equip us in overcoming every struggle we face in life.

Make this your week to grow in God through prayer.

I Agree With You…

Matthew 18:19-20 “I mean this. When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action. And when two or three of you are together because of me, you can be sure that I’ll be there.”

Nowadays you can order almost anything on-line and get it delivered speedily to your door. It is so easy and convenient that millions shop that way each week. But, did you know that, prayer could be that expedient too?

Our verse today shows that whenever 2 or more believers pray in agreement with Jesus, overcoming power is released. It is delivered rapidly to our doorstep for our use. Now that, to me, is the best kind of on-line shopping!

A key to receive this overcoming power is to agree with Jesus and other believers when we pray. This is called the prayer of agreement. Amos 3:3 says that we can’t even walk together until we agree. That is why our prayers must agree with Jesus and His Word: the Bible. This causes us to walk together and have victory.

This week we want to pray in agreement with you.

Today, EMAIL US at prayer@SpiritWord.com.au and tell us what you would like us to stand in prayer with you about.

We will write each one down in our prayer of agreement book and WE WILL PRAY over them.

As you do this, stay expectant and ready for overcoming power to be express delivered to you from heaven. The works of the enemy can be destroyed in your family as we agree with Jesus!

Jude 1:20 “But you, dear friends, carefully build yourselves up in this most holy faith by praying in the holy Spirit.” [MSG]

Every single one of us is on an earth journey that will involve times of spiritual attacks from the enemy. God wants us to overcome and not buckle under during these attacks.

When we receive Jesus He gives us the full armour of God but this is only the beginning. Our training is always ongoing. God wants us to become elite athletes in the realm of the spirit.

This is where our verse fits in.  God says we are to carefully build ourselves up by praying in the Holy Spirit.  Praying in the Holy Spirit means praying in our heavenly language – speaking in tongues. It’s a gift for all believers in Jesus Christ!

As we pray in our heavenly language we make our spirit strong.  This helps us to hear the voice of God more clearly and release a divine flow of strength from heaven to help us.

When we pray in our heavenly language we are praying the mind of the Holy Spirit over our situation and God’s answer comes forth.  We have done this many times in our lives and God’s Spirit has never failed.

Build your spirit strong… Pray in the Holy Spirit today!

Matthew 5:5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” [NKJV]

From prison rescues to dramatically saved lives, God wants to involve you in what is happening on earth!  Our verse today teaches us that there is an exciting life in the Spirit available to every follower of Jesus.

Let me explain.  For many years this verse was a mystery to me.  What does it mean to be meek? What does it mean to inherit the earth?

It’s so amazing! To be meek simply means to be submissive to, gracious towards and easily imposed upon by the Holy Spirit.  To inherit means to be given an involvement in what God is doing on earth. WOW!

Our verse literally reads, “Blessed are the easily imposed upon by the Holy Spirit for they shall be given an involvement in heavens plans on earth.” Astounding!

Why wait another day? God wants to take you into realms of Him that you have never experienced before.  Open up your heart to the Holy Spirit and learn to become involved in heaven’s plans on earth anytime… anywhere!
