![Hearing God’s voice is easy! In the video you’ll learn how to listen to God when He speaks to you…<br /><br />The key is learning how God speaks to us. When God speaks, He can do it through people, through circumstances around us or even through our own thoughts through the Holy Spirit.<br /><br />[For more free videos like this, check out: https://godsspeakingdevotional.com]<br /><br />The interesting thing is that God doesn’t speak to me like He’ll speak to you. It’s very important that you pursue your own personal relationship with Him in the quiet place where you’ll learn how he specifically speaks to you. <br /><br />The most important thing for you to remember is that Jesus said that His sheep hear His voice, so you can hear His voice! Spend time with God and you’ll find your way of listening to God…<br /><br />And also, ask others how they hear the voice of God. He may be speaking to you but you’re simply not listening in the way He’s speaking.<br /><br />If you truly want to change your life and become your best, you’ll probably be interested in the 18 free videos (like this one) that we have available at:<br />https://godsspeakingdevotional.com <br /><br />Also, you should check out the ‘God’s Speaking’ Devotional on Amazon: <br />https://amzn.to/1hpdnSM<br /><br />If this video helped you in any way be sure to:<br />1.

![God is the Creator of the universe and HE gets great joy out of creating! Part of why He created you was so that you could co-create with Him. <br /><br />We are made in the image and likeness of God and since He is the Creator it only makes sense that we were created with His fingerprint of creativity. He wants us to co-create with Him.<br /><br />[For more free videos like this, check out: https://godsspeakingdevotional.com]<br /><br />The thing we need to understand is that He trusts us as we put our trust in Him. He trusts us to create something that reflects who we are. It really is pretty awesome. <br /><br />Honestly, God trusts us more then we trust ourselves. The main thing that keeps people from going out and taking part in creating something with their name on it is because they lack trust in themselves. And the only way to trust yourself more is to trust God completely. <br /><br />Why?<br /><br />Because as we trust Him, we start seeing ourselves the way He sees us and therefore we can’t help but trust ourselves.<br /><br />So, go out there, trust God, and let your creativity run wild. As we are in Him, we should be the most creative people on earth!<br /><br />If you truly want to change your life and become your best, you’ll probably be interested in the 18 free videos (like this one) that we have available at:<br />https://godsspeakingdevotional.com <br /><br />Also, you should check out the ‘God’s Speaking’ Devotional on Amazon: <br />https://amzn.to/1hpdnSM<br />](https://content.swncdn.com/godtube/2014/05/12/466995/466995_480p_thumbnails10.jpg)
![Before you’ll experience breakthrough, you must step out of the boat on faith. I’m sure you’ve had it happen where you didn’t take that leap of faith and then you later wonder what would have happened if you had. <br /><br />[For more free videos like this, check out: https://godsspeakingdevotional.com]<br /><br />It’s very important that we take that step of faith. The way to do that is simply to believe that God is good enough. We have to make a decision to keep our eyes on and our faith in Jesus and not on the problem we face. This will help us to step out of the boat when everyone else is going the opposite way.<br /><br />There isn’t really a way to make risk easy but it does get easier as you spend more time with God and your trust level goes up. So, in essence if you want to build your faith in God, it’s all about relationship.<br /><br />Faith, hope, and risk go hand in hand as hope will lead to faith and true faith contains an action that can be very risky. <br /><br />So, step out there on faith and believe that God can do anything and will back you up!<br /><br />If you truly want to change your life and become your best, you’ll probably be interested in the 18 free videos (like this one) that we have available at:<br />https://godsspeakingdevotional.com <br /><br />Also, you should check out the ‘God’s Speaking’ Devotional on Amazon: <br />https://amzn.to/1hpdnSM<br /><br />If this video helped you in any way be sure to:<br />1.

![If you want people to see the goodness of God you must let your light shine. The Bible says that the goodness of God is what leads to repentance. People must experience His goodness.<br /><br />[For more free videos like this, check out: https://godsspeakingdevotional.com]<br /><br />When you let your light shine by simply having an encouraging word or even just a smile, it can really affect people. Sharing the Gospel is really all about HIS incredible goodness. Sometimes it’s less about teaching and more about being Jesus to people. <br /><br />If you want to share Christ with people you must first be so in love with Jesus that you become love. Then go and relate to people out of that love. And when you do that, trust me, you’ll be able to be part of transforming someone’s life. It’s incredible what happens when people know that you really care about them.<br /><br />The next time that you go out to preach the Gospel and share the Good News, try to simply love on people instead of blatantly preaching at them. You might just give people a taste of God’s goodness by doing that!<br /><br />If you truly want to change your life and become your best, you’ll probably be interested in the 18 free videos (like this one) that we have available at:<br />https://godsspeakingdevotional.com <br /><br />Also, you should check out the ‘God’s Speaking’ Devotional on Amazon: <br />https://amzn.to/1hpdnSM<br /><br />If this video helped you in any way be sure to:<br />1.

![If you want to live in the fullness of God’s blessing on your life, you must posture and position yourself for change in your life. <br /><br />The number one thing is your position. This is about aligning yourself with the Kingdom of heaven and with the righteousness of God. When you align yourself with God’s ways, you will be in direct line of fire for all of His divine blessings.<br /><br />[For more free videos like this, check out: https://godsspeakingdevotional.com]<br /><br />So, it’s very important for you to seek His Kingdom and His righteousness so that His blessing can rain down on you. <br /><br />The next thing I talk about in the video is your posture. By posture, I’m really talking about the skill set that you have to go after your dreams. After you have your position right, God will help you set up your posture. He will teach you what you need to know to become the most successful you that you can become. <br /><br />A lot of times, He has already been teaching you a bunch of skills that seemed to just come naturally to you. These skills are for your enjoyment in carrying out the good works He prepared in advance for you to walk in. And it opens you up to the supernatural blessings that God has for you.<br /><br />If you truly want to change your life and become your best, you’ll probably be interested in the 18 free videos (like this one) that we have available at:<br />https://godsspeakingdevotional.com <br /><br />Also, you should check out the ‘God’s Speaking’ Devotional on Amazon: <br />https://amzn.to/1hpdnSM](https://content.swncdn.com/godtube/2014/05/12/466990/466990_480p_thumbnails10.jpg)
![One thing everyone seems to be going after is an increase of the Kingdom of God. Probably the most prayed prayer is the “More God”. Everyone wants more. So, how do you prepare for that more?<br /><br />[For more free videos like this, check out: https://godsspeakingdevotional.com]<br /><br />See, the Kingdom of heaven is all about order. Everything has a purpose and a place. And Paul himself writes that we need to do all things in order. Now, the first thing we need to understand is that the Kingdom’s order is different then earthly order. So, the first step to prepare for increase is to align with God’s order of things. <br /><br />For instance, before you will really see an increase in ministry you need to respect the order that God planned within the family. Having your family in order is super important to the heart of God. Paul writes that a minister must first of order in his home before he’s aloud to be in ministry. <br /><br />If you want increase, get to know how the Kingdom of God works and the order that is placed over everything. Once you’ve done that and aligned yourself to His Kingdom, then you’ll be ready for the increase that He wants to give you.<br /><br />If you truly want to change your life and become your best, you’ll probably be interested in the 18 free videos (like this one) that we have available at:<br />https://godsspeakingdevotional.com <br /><br />Also, you should check out the ‘God’s Speaking’ Devotional on Amazon: <br />https://amzn.to/1hpdnSM<br />](https://content.swncdn.com/godtube/2014/05/12/466991/466991_480p_thumbnails10.jpg)
![Wondering how you can know God’s will for your life? You can find your destiny!<br /><br />God created each of us for a specific destiny and life calling while at the same time He has a universal destiny for us as Christians as well. <br /><br />[For more free videos like this, check out: https://godsspeakingdevotional.com]<br /><br />We are His workmanship and His handiwork. While our universal goal is to lead people into the Father’s embrace and help them see the goodness of God, you are uniquely different from everyone else as well. <br /><br />Using your personality, your skills, your gifts, and your values, you can kind of tell what purpose you were specifically destined for. The key is for you to move forward. If you don’t move forward toward something, God can’t really steer you toward His destiny for you.<br /><br />A lot of the time the things that are effortless for you that you do with a lot of joy are really the things that God has called you to. Sometimes we think it’s too easy so we disvalue it’s importance while it’s really the will of God.<br /><br />If you truly want to change your life and become your best, you’ll probably be interested in the 18 free videos (like this one) that we have available at:<br />https://godsspeakingdevotional.com <br /><br />Also, you should check out the ‘God’s Speaking’ Devotional on Amazon: <br />https://amzn.to/1hpdnSM<br /><br />If this video helped you in any way be sure to:<br />1.
