Awake Unto Action and Put On Your Strength 3

Pastor Charles Cowan delivers a powerful message titled 'Awake Unto Action and Put On Your Strength,' emphasizing the biblical call to actively stir up the spiritual gift of eternal life within believers. Drawing from 2 Timothy, he explains that 'stir up' means to kindle or inflame the inner fire of faith, much like fanning embers into a blazing fire. He stresses that spiritual vitality isn't passive—God draws near when we draw near, and this mutual movement requires intentional effort through prayer, singing, Scripture reading, and especially praying in the Holy Spirit. The sermon warns against passive spirituality, such as playing sermons while sleeping, and instead calls for active engagement with God to ignite personal and corporate revival. Pastor Cowan shares personal insights from his time at Rhema Bible Training Center, illustrating how consistent spiritual discipline prepares ministers and believers alike to face life’s realities with courage and divine strength. The episode underscores that revival doesn’t happen by accident—it’s sparked by a community of people who are spiritually alert, zealous, and committed to stirring their inner fire. When individuals draw close to God, they become conduits of His presence, attracting others and inviting the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit. The message concludes with a call to action: don’t wait for God to move—get involved, stay stirred, and become part of the divine movement.
