Stir Up The Gifts is a Biblical study on both books of Timothy. Paul wrote to inspire the young minister in being a leader for a church in Ephesus. God knew that Timothy would deal with a variety of situations and problems. Due to these issues, Paul wrote to the young man for help and instruction. These letters cover everything from how to be a leader, teaching people how to live, navigating societal norms, and being a generally good person in the community. Although this was for Timothy, we, in modern times, can use these letters for our enlightenment as well.


Every single person who has a desire to build a relationship with God is useful to the Lord. All people do not have to be a minister, prophet, singer, or some other upfront person to be beneficial for God. Nevertheless, every person has some sort of story, knowledge, information, or gift to share with others to make a positive difference.


We all have a gift or gifts that are shareable with others. We can call them talents, favor, blessings, or any other words, but the gifts that God has given is to help someone else on earth. There is something special about you. Yes, you, right now, reading this part of the book. Rather you know it or still searching, Jesus Christ Himself placed you in this time and place for a purpose. For a reason.


This book, Stir Up The Gifts, is an effort to encourage all people to use your talents for God and be the minister that He wants. Regardless of your abilities, all people can have their gifts stirred up and released to the world.





INTRODUCTION


On May 20, 1996, Joe Pace and The Colorado Mass Choir released their first album called Watch God Move. This inspirational gospel music was led by their biggest hit, “Stir Up The Gifts.” The song is vivacious and was a crowd favorite for many years after its initial release. With specialized movements timed to the words of the song, Colorado Mass had a hit that touched the lives of all who embraced the message. This song got its words and meaning from the second book of Timothy, reminding all people to be of use for the Lord.
