Short YouTube encouragement by Holly Furtick (with a second speaker) emphasizing that God is present 'where you are' rather than only in expected places. The speakers stress that you do not need to change or qualify yourself to experience God; instead, creating space (reducing a hurried schedule, giving attention) enables hearing Him. The clip closes with an invitation to pause, make room for God, and a standard subscribe outro.

I think it's funny how God works because most of the time, in my experience, he doesn't show up there the.
Place where you think he should.
He shows up here the place where you are.
And I believe that God is sending.
You and I the message today that you don't have to change anything about.
Yourself for God to reveal himself to you. You don't have to get clean. You don't have to be successful. You don't have to be a Bible prophecy expert. You don't even have to be an exceptionally good person. Your accomplishments, your status, your appearance do not qualify you in a spiritual sense. Now, obviously, as we grow in our relationship with God, we do change and we do mature. And God doesn't want you to stay where you are. But who you are right now is all you need to be for God to reveal himself to you right now, in this moment. It's your position that's important. God reveals himself to those who have space to hear him, who have room to receive Him.
In my experience, God does not need me to be a certain way in order for me to hear him speak. But he does not shout and he does not compete with all the other things that I have going on in my life. And for me, the biggest hindrance to my relationship with God is my schedule. When my life is busy and hurried and rushed, I have no space for God to speak to me. I have no time for God to speak to me. Can you give him your attention? And I want you to know he's here. He's here in this room. He's here in your car.
He's here in your kitchen. He's here at your desk.
He's here in your thoughts, right where you are, just how you are. You don't have to wait until you get there to experience God.
Not about there, it's about here.
This present moment.
Take a breath.
Can you make some space for God in your life?
