Wow! This is such a big relieve for me!🙌🏻 I always felt guilty not being able to wake up early and pray even while fasting ,truth be told! But I do spent time with God even after midnight before dawn. Thank you Alex for this truth.🔥 May the Holy spirit reveal many more secrets which is actually releasing ppl from many biased opinions considered to be right And Hey ! I'm a dreamer too, God does communicate us through dreams and it's so amazing. Stay blessed Alec❤️❤️❤️
It is now 10/20/ 2020, I am re-visiting this video again for a refresher. It blessed me 2 yrs ago and this testimonial of yours always lingered with me ever since. I am getting things in order right now that was out of whack for awhile. This is a timeliness message. Thanks again !
Thanks for this encouragement Alec, I know it's a couple of years old but, it was timely. I was struggling my way through not being able to wake up in the morning to spend time with God. This did encourage me, showing up matters!!
This is SO relevant. Thankyou. I've felt shame and frustration that night time has been when I've connected with God the most- even though I've tried to make it the morning. This is a perspective that has shone light on a Truth for me. Thankyou thankyou thankyou. A weight I didn't know I had been carrying has been blown away.
I’ve always felt guilty coz I don’t concentrate well in the mornings 😂 so that’s so great to hear about a great night time routine that’s my favourite time to spend with God! 😊
Great word! This has taken a lot of pressure off of me in regards to my am routine! I’m also enjoying all of your insight on dreams and God using them as tools to speak to us. You have really helped confirm so much!
Wow, God is so good to make this truth clear to me. For me it is SO much easier to use my gap times during the day and my nighttimes to read the Bible, journal, listen and pray. I can go to bed refreshed and wake up ready to go in my spirit. Recently, I had been trying to change my habits so I could read in the morning... which I found didn't always work out when I had to begin my day early. Your video was a good reminder that delighting in time with the Lord, is what matters and that fulfilling the action of doing it, is what counts!
Wow. This is exactly what struck me for the first time in my life just yesterday! I went for a walk at sunset and was having a wonderful time with Jesus and I just thought "I want to have this quiet time with you every evening Jesus." It never really worked for me to have that early morning routine that it seems everyone recommends. As I was thinking about this it struck me: in Hebrew culture the day started in the evening! So if I have that sunset time with Jesus everyday, it is actually starting the new day with Him! Preparing for the new day at evening. So encouraged right now. Thanks for the video.
I have been listening to the Bible before bed and falling asleep with it in my ears. I definitely also tried having quiet my spirit before that, so when I'm asleep, I can hear Him speak to my spirit.
Thanks Alec for sharing that, "You just couldn't do it in the morning." I feel so liberated by that. I always had that notion that if you wanted to be used by God you had to pray in the morning. That didn't work for me. It's good to hear a person involved in ministry honestly say, "I can't do it the seemingly really spiritual way", as if it is, which I believe is a myth. Jesus prayed at night. What a bonus! I'm free. Thanks for sharing this video about when we spend time with God. I have heard it practically pressed that people need to spend time with God in the morning in order to have a good day. Now, it is notable that in theory it makes sense as you plan your day and genuinely desire God to lead you and guide you throughout your day. But, there are some like me and you Alec that can't do it in the morning, either being a deep sleeper like yourself or, like myself, just can't be at peace when your head is buzzing so soon in the morning having to prepare for work. So, yes evening is best for me, where I can switch off everything, nearly except computer and listen to the word of God on my laptop. It takes time to develop the habit of spending time with God. Some people get impatient when they don't get the results they want straight away. Remember it is God who leads you, not you, if you understand what I mean. You may plan your time with God, but He directs the steps of your plan to connect with Him. Man wants a certain result which is usually themselves focused, but God sets in place a life that is others focused, and that takes time to develop, just as a relationship takes time to develop. A scripture that will help anyone to overcome this sense of failure when it comes to spending time with God is found in Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Jesus doesn't condemn you nor should you. be easy on yourself and discover when is your best time and enjoy the journey.
I used to feel inferior for not “getting up early,” but I’m NOT a morning person. Then I had the realization that the Jewish day actually STARTS in the evening! So I AM preparing for my day! And God speaks in my dreams, preparing me even more!
This was sooo good! I too felt like a failure because I cannot wake up early in the mornings and everyone would tell that the morning is THE best time to spend time with God. So thank you for speaking about that =) and I love the idea of listening to the bible before bed! I didn't realize you could do that with the Bible App!
This is the same for me as well! 🙌🏼🙌🏼💖💖 I don't get home from work until 10:30 or sometimes 11pm and my time in the word and at His feet is soooo fruitful and its an opportunity to reflect back on His faithfulness throughout the day and any sins that I need to repent of so that I don't give the enemy a foothold before I go to sleep. Thank you for taking the time to share. God bless you Alec!
I really appreciated when you mentioned setting up a routine to learn. My routine was always in the morning, but I noticed if I went for a walk or exercised before my devotions that it helped me to concentrate more, because my physical body is tired. Weird? But makes sense to me and works. But, with my job I’m on the road a lot and the audio Bible is an awesome tool! Thank you so much for sharing! I’ve shared this video with a number of people!
Thank you so much for sharing this!!! I'm not much of a morning person myself. I love that you unpacked this for us!! Im so looking forward to your next video about dreams. Im currently reflecting on dreams i had and have been having that i wrote down.
Amen thank you so much! My friend and I were talking about this today because she's been really busy when it comes to spending time with God! I will definitely share this video with her! And I'm excited that you mentioned dreams because she's been having alot of symbolic dreams from God and have been writing them down. God Bless😊
Hey Alec! Thank you so much for sharing so many great truths in one video. I couldn't have told them better myself! (though one day I hope I will ;)) your intimacy with Jesus and hunger for Him is so evident! It's so encouraging, bro! Blessings from Brussels, Belgium 🇧🇪! You should come! 😄🙌
It was always hard for me to see books and speakers always recommend starting your day with Christ when I always felt more in tune to hearing from God before I went to sleep. Thank you for the encouragement!
super encouraging. really not being a morning person, this helps the guilt of not waking up haha, i want to get up but i can talk myself out of mostly anything when im half asleep lol. Thanks Alec
Wow, Alec, thanks for this video. For the past two weeks, God has spoken to me that it's time for me to start listening to the Bible (because often there is simply no time to read, even given that I really like to read) and spend more time with Him. This video was for me the most accurate and vivid word, which, at last, I managed hear. (And perhaps the best gift to the "World Women's Day" which is celebrated in our country today).GOD IS GOOD!!!
I always felt guilty of doing this, but I get more time in the evenings in quiet times with the LORD, sometimes I do get up early and spend time in prayer I like both times but my favorite is evenings.
Awesome video! I'm all about spending the time before I go to bed with The LORD; but I was afraid I was missing out because a lot of people say the morning is better. I can't wait for your dream video!!
Thank you for sharing this!! I have the SAME problem...I’m such a heavy sleeper that getting up extra early in the mornings to have a quiet time just doesn’t happen 🙈 reassuring to know I’m not alone LOL
hey brother! great vid! i love the insight on the fact that our routine time with God is actually a way to learn to communicate through the whole day. you're a lion alright!
Am taking guitar lessons inorder to make my devotional easier because music definitely helps me get into his presence easier.i love that I am investing in my time with God.
I would really like to see a video on speaking through dreams! In the last few weeks, that’s been becoming a theme in my life. I’d love to hear Sons and Daughters’s thoughts on what to do with those. Thanks
But start somewhere. Whether it is in the bathroom at work or at night or the morning, find a moment during the day to seek him and refresh and then let it grow to other parts of the day or night
Hi Alec. Really loved this post. Wanted to add and encourage everyone here to ask God to help and partner with you in setting aside time for Bible Studies. I know it can be hard and sometimes frustrating to make a routine for quiet time with the Lord. And I have found it possible by asking God to remind me and help me. This has really changed my life and He helps me read every day. I also recommend the Bible App. It's great to listen and go for a stroll 😊 God bless you all
Just the other day I remembered that I had forgotten about my jury duty I was supposed to be at...................... And now I’m anticipating a warrant!! 😶🤭😦😂 this was super helpful though, thank you 😊
This is going to sound odd. But atleast a year or year and a half or so I received a message on fb from someone I didn’t know I’m not even sure if we were facebook friends. They said, “you will give birth to a son and his name will be Samuel”. I replied with something along the lines with “if it’s in God’s will!” A few months ago I had a dream where my womb was closed. These two events I thought were completely unrelated and haven’t crossed my mind in a while. In this video you suggest to listen to 1 Samuel. So I’m listeninh to chapter one. And I hear how Hannah’s womb was closed and then later she gave birth to a son named Samuel. I just thought I’d share this. God surely spoke through you tonight. I will continue to pray and seek the Lord in this. God bless you, brother!
Hi, Alec. This video is very good. I have taken time to stop and reflect on spending more time with God! He talks a lot to me through dreams too. Just as God spoke to Samuel, I have asked Him to awaken me, to reveal to me the purposes that are in His heart! I'll download the app to hear the bible. God bless you!
Alec i remembered i saw your testimony about how you struggled in school and then the change that happened. Now i can't find it anymore? I wanted to listen your testimony again. What happened?
I totally agree with, "God doesn't disappear when the sun totally has risen." We should not put God in a box you know! He knows everything about us especially our hearts, (and that is important to God) but sometimes we get busy... but it should not be an excuse... Spending time with God is when you are ready-WHOLE HEARTEDLY and physically. Like how you date. You would not understand someone when you're tired. Thank you, because this just encourages people especially not a morning person like me.. to spend QUALITY/ GENUINE (THIS IS WHEN YOU REALY RECEIVE HIS REVELATIONS) time with God and not just do for the sake to say that you spend time with Him eveyday. I enjoy it more at night. We should enjoy it everytime. He can talk to us in many ways... Never limit God.😊
Mark 1:35...Jesus got early to pray. I do both. I start my mornings with the Lord and end my nights with the Lord. I have to do both. Wake up and go to bed with the Lord. And continue abiding with him throughout the day
Wow! This is such a big relieve for me!🙌🏻
I always felt guilty not being able to wake up early and pray even while fasting ,truth be told!
But I do spent time with God even after midnight before dawn.
Thank you Alex for this truth.🔥
May the Holy spirit reveal many more secrets which is actually releasing ppl from many biased opinions considered to be right
And Hey ! I'm a dreamer too, God does communicate us through dreams and it's so amazing.
Stay blessed Alec❤️❤️❤️

Pursuing His Presence before bed has started to change my life
This inspired me even after 2 years

This was so timely Sir !!! A sistah is encouraged !Thanks for sharing ! Peace and Godbless
Yes! Freedom from the early morning failures 🙌 thank you 😊
That was really encouraging! I had been trying to wake up in the morning to pray but couldn’t and was so disappointed. Night time prayer is perfect!
Very encouraging video. Thank you for sharing your tips oh how to decompress! I’m definitely going to try it out!
Thank you for this, Alec. This video has blessed me so much!
I love doing the same thing. I find that if I go to bed in the presence of God, I wake up happier & more ready to start the next day.
Thank you so much for sharing this!!! I'm not much of a morning person myself. I love that you unpacked this for us!! Im so looking forward to your next video about dreams. Im currently reflecting on dreams i had and have been having that i wrote down.
I am a dreamer so this is really helpful
Very encouraging
That was awesome
Thank you so much
God bless

This is great! Very much so needed! God bless you!
Liked this a lot! I would really love a post or video on hearing God through dreams, like Alec mentioned! It's something I've been praying for lately!
Wow, Alec, thanks for this video.

Thanks to the Lord for the down-to-earth encouragement, let us come for guidance at any time of the day.
I always felt guilty of doing this, but I get more time in the evenings in quiet times with the LORD, sometimes I do get up early and spend time in prayer I like both times but my favorite is evenings.

Perfect routine for dreamers.
