Levi Lusko - Fresh Life Church
2 Timothy 1:5-7
"I remember your genuine faith, for you share the faith that first filled your grandmother Lois and your mother, Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you. This is why I remind you to fa into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and self-discipline."
Your "flame" is great, but it needs to get bigger...God wants to "blow" on it and help it reach bigger/better places! God wants to take you places you could never dream.
Spiritual Fire:
1. It comes from above but must be sustained with love
It's a train wreck to do God's work without the Holy Spirit.
Revive what you received.
2. It goes out if it's left alone
You never drift in the right direction, and in life drift happens.
3. Being on fire in the past is no guarantee you are today
"To rekindle it you need to give more attention to prayer, and to the reading of God's word, and to regular worship with God's people." Peter Williams
4. People are drawn to a roaring fire
Jesus said "if I am lifted up, I will draw all people to Myself."

FAN the flame
Stoke the fire of our love for our:
Friends & Family
Associates
Neighbors
When asked who is my neighbor Jesus gave a parable...
Luke 10:20 The Good Samaritan
Basically anyone we encounter.
Pain is a passport.
We need to look at everyone as someone Jesus dies for.
Remind yourself these two things to encourage you to love people more!
1. Jesus died to save them
2. They will live forever somewhere
Matthew 3:12 "He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never-ending fire."
Winnow : blow a current of air through (grain) in order to remove the chaff.
"The autumn wind winnowing (blow) its way through the grass."
