Yes. Very good for beginners and even for those that are experienced. Sometimes we need a baby step refresher to get back on track when we have let our quiet time go. Sometimes distractions keep us from quiet time and we need something like this to help us get back on track and start again. Also, I can certainly tell that you are an image consultant because the whole time I was thinking "wow! I love how she put together her top with the vest and scarf. It looks great". Thanks for the video. Very inspiring!

Thank you so much..i've learned now on how to have quite time with the Lord.

This was good and on point. I've been trying so hard to get my prayer life and quiet time on track. Thank You❣

I love this method a lot because when people read the Bible it’s easy to drift through it and not truly remember what you read. So being able to do this helps people digest what they read and apply it to their lives so that they can use it throughout the day.

I have been away from the Lord for about 15 years now. New Year's day I woke up. Slowly God is reeling me back in. Today I have been alone and no distractions. I looked up devotions and your channel came up! I am looking for to your videos. Thanks. Rhonda

Hi Rhonda! Sorry for the delay in responding - your comment got buried in the pile! But I am SO glad you found the channel! Make sure to check out my 21-day devotional series at www.FitnessAndTheFather.com. It's free and WONDERFUL!

I have just started using this method and it has helped me to not just read the word but to be in the word. To be absorbed in the word of God.

Thanks for walking us through S.O.A.P. What a great way to spend time in God's word!

Thank you so much for this! For a while, I haven't been putting God first in my life to a point where I feel spiritually empty. I've been trying to get back into having quiet time with Jesus, but didn't really know how. I've heard of this method before, but you've explained it so well. I'm excited to start the journey of seeking God again!

i am an outreach pastor, artist,father,husband etc, and sadly i find that sometimes i get so caught up in doing for the Lord,i forget to be WITH the Lord. I am a man, but i ran across this and just wanted to thank you for this in depth advice for devotional time! I'm excited about beginning again!

Start with proverbs and read one chapter every day. I loved how Whitney uses the soap method. I also follow Max lucado’s study Bible. It’s my favorite very easy to read and it has lessons on the side of the page. I’ve been able to do some videos following this Bible... and it’s been an amazing journey. Good luck!!!

Wow I am so thankful I came across this video for myself & for you ! God is still using you & your video to teach people like myself how to have quiet time with god ! I wrote down everything you said & am looking forward to my daily quiet time with the lord . Especially now with everything going on in the world . Thank you for using this platform to touch the life’s of other brothers & sisters in Christ & to many others who I pray will watch & learn just as I have . Thank you 🙏🏼

Thanks for your tutorial on the SOAP method. It's a classic study method we use too! God bless you in your efforts.

Whitney, thank you so much for this video. I am in my first Bible study and want to start having a closer relationship with with God, but I wasn't sure how to do a daily devotion that included reading and studying the Bible and mediating on the Word. This was so helpful in showing me how to start in a way that was encouraging and not condescending. I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching more of your videos.

Hi Sandra!! I do journal. This is a great video idea -- I'd love to create a video to show you guys! xo

Hello. I’m a 36 year old mother of three who until VERY recently thought of myself as very much an atheist. Then my eight year old told me she believes in God and Jesus and wants to know more. So as I️ was doing research I️ started pondering and wondering if maybe I’m wrong, or at the very least having doubts. My question is, what exactly do you mean by God speaks through you, or God talks to you and shows you the way? This is something I’ve struggled to understand. I️ know there isn’t any literal thing happening. Do you just have thoughts, and explain that as God talking to you? I️ have trouble understanding ideas that are not concrete. Thank you.

+j bru hey!! I'm so happy you asked this question, because it's a question even people who do believe in God and Jesus ask! So when God "speaks" to me, He will do it in a few different ways. First is through reading the Bible. I'll read something and feel a little emotional tug on my heart, and then I'll explore what I read in my journal. (I have a really cool video on Bible journaling that you should watch, bc I talk more about "hearing" from God in the video!) The second way I hear from God is through other people who believe in Him. Sometimes, I'll pray about something and then later that day, someone will encourage me on the EXACT subject I prayed about that morning! And finally, I hear from God in my prayer time. If you can imagine, it's like watching a movie on the screen of your mind. Sometimes it's through pictures, or like I'm watching a video. Other times, it's just a knowing that I have deep inside during my prayer time about what He's sharing with me. This is the BEST part about believing in God - that He wants to have a personal relationship with you where you can actually communicate with Him! I know it's difficult when it's not concrete, but there's a mystery to it all because it's a supernatural experience. If you want to learn more and explore why you're maybe questioning your beliefs (or doubting!), there's a great book called "The Case For Christ" by Lee Strobel that will give you lots of really great concrete facts. And I'm always here for you! You can reach out anytime!!

I do both! Mostly in my mind. But if I'm really fired up and mad, or hurting and sad, I pray out loud. And that's awesome about the Bible! What version did you get? NIV? King James? Children's Bible? Look on the spine of the book - it should tell you, or on the inside cover. Just asking because some of the translations can be SUPER hard to read because they're in Old English, and I just want to make sure you've got one with a modern translation :) Also -- if you're interested, I do have a free video series at www.fitnessandthefather.com that you might enjoy. I talk more about this kind of stuff and keeping your mind, body, and spirit healthy!

That's a really great question Mandy! The Psalms are a fantastic place to start; also, I love reading the Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. But I do also just flip open my Bible sometimes and just start reading! The key to doing that, though, is to make sure you know the context of where you're reading. If you open it to the Old Testament and find yourself reading about a battle, or a family history list, dive in a little deeper and find out what exactly you're reading about! I love devotional books too. One of my favorites is "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young!

Listen carefully HolySpirit is speaking to you now. I Am (AlmightyJesus) only the Holy Father, HolySon and Holy Spirit in the Trinity mode forever Amen I Am the I Am (AlmightyJesus), the true everlasting God, who created all heavens and earth. I myself sent my HolySpirit down to the earth in Virgin mother Mary womb, which latter became human flesh and called as kingChrist, who lived holy unsinful life, revealed about Myself, about My promises, My expectations from human beings, My Wrath against disobedience, unholy & unrighteousness people and finally sacrificed his life in the Holy cross to save mankind from all the worldly sins. Be wise and select only genuine righteousness people in the earth and preach the Gospel as much as you can till the last breath of your life. Do not worry you are special to Me and I will reward you greatly in the heaven My dear precious child.
