In this sense, aestivating refers to something that revives the senses of the body or mind. It can refer to physical stimulation (like a candle burning) as well as emotional or spiritual awakening. In the context of biblical languages, "aestivating" is used to describe an effect that draws people in and makes them more committed to God's service and mission. For example, when Peter was called out by Jesus at the Sea of Galilee, he exclaimed in delight, "Amen!" This expression expresses a sense of renewed zeal and commitment. The word "aestivating" is often used to describe an act that inspires or reinvigorates someone's spirit, as if it had been revived.
