Day 80
Let external issues drive you to Me. Get into the deep of my Spirit to find out and be able to deal with the core issues -- matters of the heart, and works that I am accomplishing in you and in others. The bottom line is connectedness to Me. This produces character development and all the fruits of the Spirit.

If something opposed to a fruit of my Spirit is being manifested in you, your connection with Me is somehow short-circuited -- the channel is clogged. Get with Me and let my Spirit unclog and clean out, and re-establish the connection.

You have to give my Spirit ample opportunity to hover over you in the places that are out of order. When I am done hovering, then I will speak into your life the word that will create in you the work, the fruit, the character trait you are needing. This is how I bring new things into being. You have to lay yourself down on my altar and let Me do it. True fruitfulness comes out of this intimacy with Me, and then maintaining the connection.

Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light [Genesis 1:2,3].

As it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations." Abraham is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed--the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were. Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be." Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead--since he was about a hundred years old--and that Sarah's womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised [Romans 4:17-21].
