Stop Expecting Your Friends To Support Your Ideas

[@ImmigrationLawLivinginFinland]

Wow, so true. This was something I struggled with until I realised I'm not gonna get the support from people I expect it from. The best is just to Trust God, leave it to Him and the support will come from places you least expect. Thanks so much for sharing this Heather. Blessings! 😍❤👍

[@metruthmusic]

It's an ugly truth but completely agree with this! Friends don't give us the passion or vision for our dreams, God does. So as long as we're on His path everything else falls into place. Thank you Mrs Lindsey!

[@TheTimelessRetro]

I'm walking in my purpose now and it is HARD! I use to feel so offended when my friends and family didn't support me (I still do sometimes) because I'm not asking anyone to buy anything just to read my content, share and encourage me. God revealed to me a while ago that I was desperately seeking validation from my loved ones and since then I've been asking God to release me from people bondage. I cared way to much what other thought of me which kept me from walking in my purpose. I still get a bit of anxiety every time I post something but I post it anyway. I've come along way and I know God is still working on my heart.

[@LorieBrumfield]

So so true! Don't expect people to "get" what you are doing! God gas given YOU the idea to believe in and pursue not THEM so it's important to not allow the discouragement of others not supporting our ideas and projects to keep us from obeying the Lord and fulfilling our calling! Very good topic and really important reminder!

[@Chicworkingmom]

I've definitely done this in the past. I was so hurt when I thought my best friend wasn't supportive of my business. I distanced myself from her but she knew me so well that she felt it, called me and I explained to her why I was so hurt. We worked it out then she did start to support me. I really just don't think she knew it was so important to me.

[@ToshiJ89]

I use to get so discouraged when my parents didn't believe in me or didn't support me. I lived my life focused so much on doing what I believed would make them happy. I'm more realizing that was wrong and taking steps to do what I've been called to.

[@drlorneka]

Truly can attest to this.It's a crushing feeling but that's when Christ comes ALIVE in us.My own aunt & a few folks didn't believe in me becoming a pharmacist minoring in journalism so God took me 7hrs away for 6 years to break me from people pleasing because I'm so supportive of others.Fast fwd, in healthcare but self-published my book this year for women struggling with waiting & legalized my coaching business which strangers promote w/out my asking.Take heed ladies.Question your motives & then keep it moving.Great vid.

[@TheTimelessRetro]

Wow. It effected me so much because I'm also very supportive. God has truly shown me my heart and the people bondage I had been carrying around with me. It doesn't matter what anyone else says/thinks about you. If you're doing what God has called you to do you are pleasing Him. Btw I'm happy for your success and I hope God continues on opening more doors for you!

[@heis6203]

you're a pharmacist?

[@drlorneka]

yes I am.

[@lashaunastewart8981]

Amazing! Xx

[@morganhoward4818]

Lorneka S Joseph hello 👋🏾 I am a first year pharmacy student. Is there a way I could get in contact with you ?

[@NaturallyLiv]

Very refreshing to hear.

[@JesusistheLambofGod]

Totally relate. I wrote a few books and constantly am commenting on one book to my friends. They didnt read it and it gets frustrating. They arent my audience. You nailed it.

[@TTONTHEMIC]

I needed this right now. I've been feeling discouraged about everything not manifesting and feeling like my family and friends not supporting my apparel line. My cousin sent me this video and it spoke to my spirit. I know times may be hard but it's not easy supporting others and them not reciprocating it to me. I need to pray and hear God's voice because I know I have some great friends. Thank you.

[@rachelsnape]

This couldn't have come at a better time!!!

[@RobertaWalters]

This message was so on time for me. My struggle is that I'm a team player. I love working with people and putting our heads together to accomplish a goal. So when I'm faced with doing things on my own, I freeze up. Like the man at the pool of Bethesda. I always cry for someone to help me, but Jesus is making it very clear that he's all I need.

[@tlwiley1]

Love this. This was confirmation for me. The people that r closest to u, sometimes bring the most criticism and try to discredit what God called u to do but I keep rehearsing n my mind If God be for us, who can be against us!!

[@dakishapete6114]

OMG Heather, this 6.33 minutes was absolutely life changing, empowering, and mind shifting. Seriously healing for my soul. Thanks sis, God bless!!!!

[@ujujenniferamobi]

love from London💚💚👼😇

[@abigailoles8913]

Heather!!! ... Your transparency is always a blessing. Thank you.

[@ThePeAcHyK]

I have really been enjoying your new topics lately. Thanks!

[@LadyWisdomSpeaksAcademy]

Thank you for your comments! I needed this encouragement. I will continue to move forward with Jesus. Amen!

[@rootedinhim2454]

The timing of this message couldn't have been more perfect when it came!! Look at God ❤🙌🏾

[@GracefullyKaren]

Amen. Truth. 💯

[@default9816]

Amen, needed to hear this.

[@latoyalewis988]

I always enjoy your messages. This one was convicting yet encouraging. Thanks.

[@brigitsmile]

Right on time! Thank you Jesus

[@zeeb116]

i DO think i needed to hear this. BUT i also do think that there is a culture that we have created in a community of believers that makes it seem as if " I love you and thats good enough". As some one who has done the same thing in the past, I do feel as if there is wisdom and maturity that comes from supporting the people you care about. Even if it is as simple as letting them know that you ARE praying for them OR that you got the kindle version... SAY IT! Dont wait for other people to show their support before you chime in on HOW you chose to support the person.... or that you even support them. And if your dont agree with the personal project as a true friend you can say that too. That does not mean you dont support the person, you just dont support their current venture... hard to swallow but in most cases better than silence

[@makerealmeals]

Thank You for being obedient to your call! This video was so timely for me!

[@JonellStarTV]

I thank God for you!! This is so on time! Let's get it!

[@diamonte18]

This will really help me with work next year. Been feeling left out and lonely as I'm the only Christian in the workplace so there isn't anyone I can really connect with. By having zero expectations with my colleagues I can learn to find companionship in Christ ☺

[@Luv2shop803]

diamonte18 Maybe God placed you there to be a "light" in a dark place! 😊

[@erinlewthwaite8770]

Thanks for the encouragement :)

[@kurlycloclo500]

I thoroughly received this in the inner most part of my spirit! Thanks Sis, for THIS encouragement!

[@aishaakilo9403]

Thanks heather! Great message

[@drolllindsay]

Will I still do what God told me to do in the midst of nobody supporting me? So good! Thank you for posing the hard, right questions!

[@shanekahowellmivida9812]

Wow! Thank you! I gave up on my business for the very same reason. It's been on my heart lately to start again and I believe the Lord is preparing me and wanted me to hear this! Thank you!

[@MANDEE7962]

Very positive. Love it

[@alicia2931]

Lord youre so on time!!

[@danaedaily509]

So crazy how amazing God is and how he is using you! This has been on my brain, thank you 😘

[@Slayda]

I swear the seeds that God plants in my heart to talk about you end up talking up about within the same week! Selahhh!!!! Praise God for obedience, for you being an example, not ever ruining your witness, for being a vessel, for just always saying yes. You're so gracious. May you will see this maybe you won't. Honey you are an absolute blessing. Hugs🤗🤗

[@Nemyinspired]

This is very spot on, sometimes we have unrealistic expectations for people as regards our visions and dreams. Truth be told nobody owes u anything

[@alicedoyne4887]

This was such a helpful Video Thank you Heather - I had not started anything when I watched this but I since have and my heart was prepared, thankfully my friends have been amazing but this really made a huge difference.. xxx

[@shestudios]

Love that verse!!! Thank you.

[@ZebbieC]

This is so encouraging I needed to hear this!

[@GodsTreasure]

I needed to hear this message. Thank you Heather

[@RitaWil]

❤️ this! Thanks Heather!

[@nikaboo74]

Huneeeeey this title!!!! Can't wait to watch this later💯

[@Jayboo5000]

lol I said the same thing . I am at work like I cant wait to watch this later on.

[@nikaboo74]

Jay Tv Such a ON time message!!!! I just watched it !!!! I almost allowed this to happen to me when I did not get support from 2 friends about an idea I have. And some I haven't told yet simply because of fear of them possibly not supporting then that may make me feel a certain. Love Heather for bringing forth this message!!!!💯 Not matter who supports do it because God says too!!!❤️

[@fixatedonchrist8765]

Amen! Yes! Our Liberty in Christ should always be dependent upon God and God alone. We have to love people where they're at in their walks. Expectations on others=hurt feelings, and that's bondage. Awesome message sis!!❤

[@christel4000]

a message right on time , God bless Heather.

[@erinwashington9733]

Thank you so much for sharing. I needed this message. Thanks for the reminder!!

[@jadievelina6127]

this was needed boy

[@bellavuetravel]

I just wanted to say thank you for your obedience and transparency to even make this video. I was struggling with this thought all day (so much so that it completely consumed me) and even thought about cutting off my friends. I was listening to the lie of the enemy that they aren't supporting me like I want them to - which ultimately is the reason I've been stagnant in doing what I know I should be doing. However it just so HAPPENS that I see this video deep down in my watch later playlist today (ummm definitely God) and even though you posted this a year later it still speaks. This affirms yet again why I love you! It's okay to not have support from my friends but I need to be obedient to God and do what He's told me to do. Whether or not I have support or not. Thank you!

[@_heyimbritt]

Love this! Thank you

Wow this literally makes me want to ball out crying each and every part

[@ofthewind]

it's so funny how God works. he put it on the teachers kid heart to send a chapter about following the NOW word. Daphne posted about not being discouraged if people aren't on board with or are confused about your come up. Ashley Empowers has been encouraging was to step out on faith && this morning you're posting about not having expectations from our peers. Its like God is speaking to me through yall. I'm just now stepping into what God has told me to do. But i know im finished eiyh purposeless living. Its a new thing for me, walking by faith, stepping out on it & just knowing the 'for right now' instructions. I'm thankful that God placed it on your heart to start pinky promise. I have met so many women I can connect with because of you. had YOU not been obedient... where would we be? still looking for female friends we could connect with. Thank you =] I know you get that alot but we appreciate you!

Hi Heather! Thank you for your message, I needed it. My only thing that annoys me is when they belittle your dreams but when you bare fruits, they want to partake from that...what do you do then?

Girl, thats human nature..even you would do it..its.just human nature u have to get over it

[@Godlywoman88]

I've been feeling the same as you did about your books. I released a book and none of my acquaintances asked me much about it or bought it. I was offended by that and to see what looked like minimum sales on the reports. I dod consider that maybe it wasn't for them, but still felt offended. He is also calling me to ministry. I posted about my first live this week and no one seems to acknowledge it. I do remind myself that it's for God. This came out years ago but came on my feed on time.

[@SarahDanielle]

such a good message..🙌🙌🙌

Thank you Heather!

I agree no expectations but when they have emergency someone die need money they know to find you

Preeaaaach! Loved this Heather!

Great stuff, Heather! Just subscribed 👍🏾

[@CryssyJ]

Right now I can't afford to support a lot of my friends businesses. On the other hand, there are some things I just wouldn't spend money on even if I did have it. I had an assignment from God that my own father and brother tried to prevent this spring. I decided, I don't care if anyone else believes me of not if I know God supports me.

[@rosegreen8441]

This is soooooo true

[@winifredoribhabor]

[@really7497]

Thank you!

[@NatalieDiamond]

Perfect video....needed this. This Heather

[@RestorationEdenMinistries]

Agree with this to a degree... The only thing is friendship necessitates communication, honesty and a desire to celebrate one another's Yah given purpose. While yes, they may have several reasons for not supporting. We should be prayerful re: whether or not what our friends are going is His will but some flat out aren't for it UNTIL ppl you don't know DO! We can know it's if Yah but still NOT support them. Our expectation must indeed from Adonai but that doesn't mean we don't expect any measure of support from friends. But still be able to not be offended by it. Especially when WHEN they're doing they expect YOU TOO.

[@TheNickity]

Great topic! We often seek validation from those around us, on what God already told us to do. SB- I notice that you're trying different areas for recording. Pretty cool! What about trying natural lighting? Like in front of a window. I think it would bring a fresh new look also

[@robertabenson621]

It's strange Dephne Madyara posted a similar video with pretty much the same message yesterday. Ladies take notice to both of these video because got speaks in very many ways!

[@ClassyPrissy27]

Love this!!

[@mysticpizza02]

Yes this is true, but also when insecure 'friends' don't want you to change because they way you are now and change makes their world fall apart, they aren't friends. When you start to grow and change people don't like it but it has absolutely nothing to do with you x

[@angelasistersevolveempower9623]

So needed thx sis!.

[@kemipen]

I do believe that GOD is speaking to me this week on this or anyone who will watch or watched both sisters speak on almost similar topic. Dephne Madyara spoke on "They Won't Celebrate Your Progress" [based on John 9:8-10] and now, Heather on not expecting others to support your ideas. That's no coincidence, I'd say.

[@sherroncarouthers514]

I'm gonna check out Dephne Madyara's vid too. Thanks for sharing. I am currently dealing with this as well

[@topom6958]

Hi Heather. Thank you for sharing this msg. I have a q regarding this : I understand that its unfair to expect ppl to support you ( they don't have to do anything they don't want to do if that's the case). but what happens after you become successful in a project and they want to benefit from that same project they didn't support (and dont show any signs of support either prayer, motivation even monetary support?
