The meaning of Stir, Stir Up in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

stur: Used transitively and intransitively to indicate inner, concentrated movement; translates a number of Hebrew and Greek verbs, each of which has its different shade of meaning. Thus, e.g. in Psalms 39:2, we have 'akhar, "to be troubled," "excited"; in Song of Solomon 2:7, 'ur, "to awake," "disturb" (by the festal dances and songs). In II Timothy 1:6, it stands for Greek anazopureo, used of the resuscitation of a flame; in II Peter 1:13; II Peter 3:1, Greek diegeiro, "to awaken from sleep or stupor"; in Acts 21:27, Greek sugcheo, "to commingle," vividly portraying the confusion and tumult that resulted; in Acts 13:50, Greek parotruno, "to urge on"; Acts 17:13, Greek saleuo, "to shake to and fro."
