My Pastor was talking about revival. Bringing life back into things that are dead and not being afraid to "fan the flames". He talked about Acts 28 when Paul was shipwrecked and was adding wood to the fire and the serpent latched onto his hand and all the "natives" thought surely he woudl drop dead but he did not...THEN he went on to mention that later, when Paul was in prison and Timothy was losing hope and about to give up Paul said to Timothy "the Lord has not given you a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind". My Pastor put it together and was driving it home man, and I had chills as he was saying to "FAN THE FLAMES! WHENEVER YOU FAN THE FIRE - THE SERPENTS WILL COME OUT OF THE WOODWORK! THROW THEM OFF!!KEEP STIRRING BECAUSE GOD HAS NOT GIVEN YOU A SPIRIT OF FEAR!!! THE PROBLEM TODAY IS THAT THE CHURCH IS MORE AFRAID OF WHAT THE ENEMY IS GOING TO DO WHEN HE OUGHT TO BE AFRAID OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO!!!".
