POINTS:

• Weariness = a deep spiritual, mental, and emotional fatigue caused by life’s struggles, sin, or waiting on God.

• Weariness is something we grow.

• Weariness runs on willpower, and willpower is not a renewable resource.

• The Holy Spirit is a renewable resource.

• The first way you can tell that fruit is on its way is when God disappoints you, just when you thought He was coming through for you.

• The passive discipline that disappointment is bringing you is growing humility in you.

• You will need the strength of humility to hold the fruit.

• God wants you to know that it isn’t you who produces fruit.

• We can also tell that the fruit is on the way when God skips over us.

• God is preparing your next place of growth.

• God is the Gardener, not man; He will not allow your roots to go down in human wisdom, but His alone.

• God’s fruit will never grow from human wisdom.

• The third way we can tell that fruit is on the way is when God surprises us.

• NOT ME, ONLY GOD!

• The fourth way we can tell fruit is on the way is it comes suddenly. Our God is the God of suddenly.

• The Kingdom of God moves at the speed of seed.
