How To Recalibrate Your Heart With the Fruits of the Spirit

When God comes, He brings all of the kingdom with Him. This is not new news, but it is good news. When He comes, He brings all of His goodness with them, all of the kingdom with Him, all of His grace with Him and all of the breakthrough with Him.

And sometimes, we have to recalibrate ourselves to align with the Father. How many people know that this is a really good season to remind ourselves how to recalibrate to Jesus, to His nature, to His presence, to His goodness? That’s why I want to talk about keys to recalibrating. And I want to talk about specifically using the fruits of His Spirit as our tuning fork.

The thing about a tuning fork is that it always plays the same tune, the same note consistently and never changing. When you hit the tuning fork, you don’t get one note one time, and another when you hit it another time. That’s why you use it to tune your instruments, because it’s consistent. It doesn’t change.

How many people know the nature of God also doesn’t change?

He’s the tuning fork that we are supposed to line ourselves up to. The season that we live in is not the tuning fork. The news outlets are not the tuning fork. What social media is saying is not the tuning fork. What our friends are saying, what our neighbors are saying—none of that is the tuning fork. Jesus, the Word of God and His Spirit are the tuning fork. It’s what we’re called to come back to and realign ourselves with over and over again.

In Galatians 5:22, the fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. When we lean into the fruits of the Spirit, it has the ability to begin to adjust and align and recalibrate our spirit to bring alignment and clarity back. And these things are never changing. They’re constant. We can always return to them. Jesus has given us a road map. There is a clearer sound than what the media is releasing; and that clearer sound is Jesus—the clearer sound is heaven.

We just need to remind ourselves to tune in, to adjust and to calibrate to Jesus and His frequency and His sound. The never changing one.
