INTRO

As Christians we encounter hard and trying moments in our lives, they leave us sad, angry, doubtful, crying, strong winds trying to diminish the flame inside us. Leaving our flame flickering.
flick·er

verb (used without object)

1.to burn unsteadily; shine with a wavering light: The candle flickered in the wind and went out.
2.to move to and fro; vibrate; quiver:
3.to flutter.
 Paul encourages timothy to fan the flame,  2 Timothy 1:6, Amplified Bible (AMP)6,  That is why I would remind you to stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning) the [gracious] gift of God, [the inner fire] that is in you by means of the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]
Sometimes we are so down that we cannot effectively fan the flame with the oncoming being so strong, I’ve been there….i’m there.I know most blogs are expected to impart knowledge, they are written by seasoned writers or upbeat individuals who command a following.With this blog I’m looking for encouragement from my Older Christian brothers and sisters , on the flip side i also aim to share stories of individuals going through trials and they needs encouragement, advice or support.Email me your story at fanflickflame@gmail.com  and i will share it
.I love that I’m part of the Body of Christ, with Christ as head, a family full of love and hope and faith , what better place to seek encouragement.I encourage anyone and everyone to comment, if you feel it in your heart to share to encourage, please do and let  us fan all those flickering flames so we can burn bright in a dark world.
