Daniel: "Good afternoon my dear friends. I am Daniel, your teacher. As we have been together over these many months, there has occurred within your beings much growth, change, and understanding. The first step in this process came about through the act of faith in your desire to know the Father. The second reason for your growth and changes has come about because of courage, that great gift that you were willing to draw from, to give you the impetus to be willing to be open and to allow yourselves to change and grow. Courage was the step necessary to bring this about, and as I look around at you this evening I see before me very courageous and spiritual beings who, despite the happenings of a material life, are ever willing to pick up from life's trials and to carry forward. Courage is essential in the human domain. It is even more essential in the spiritual, for it does take courage, fed through spiritual channels, to bring about change within the human realm. When you lay yourself open to the Father, you allow His divinity to nourish and feed all of those areas that are essential for human life, that are essential for spiritual life. I encourage you to work on being ever attuned to allowing the fruits of the Spirit to be nurtured, to become a part of your being. And you know full well now, my dear friends, how these fruits can be enhanced, can be brought to life through and for you. Time spent in prayer, in worship, and in stillness with the Father ensures the individual of receiving these gifts. And gifts they are, not only for you in your individual life, but any soul, any personality or being who is gifted with these fruits will, likewise, be a fruit bearer for those whom they come into contact with, your brothers and sisters.

The time you spend with the Father enhances far more than you can even imagine; so important is it for you to be in that communication with Him! It is only in your knowledge of the Father that you are able to continue to grow. While the knowledge that you glean during quiet time is not readily apparent, you will discover that, over time, things and events in your life are handled and seen in a different perception than you have had previously. Things which you have had questions about are answered. You are given opportunity to discover and to find these answers. And this is part of the growth that comes about from being with the Father.
