"The Silent War of Holding Onto Your Past"

[@MsSoreing]

I didn't want to watch. I wasn't going to listen. I wanted to hold on to my silent anger towards God because my past wasn't what I thought He said it would be. I thank God for your obedience for this gift of His spoken word to us who need it. I have some Bible studying to do. I have some words to proclaim and I have MANY thoughts to capture because they are contrary to the Word. I haven't opened one gift for Christmas as yet but Thank you, my Father, for this gift I have received through Your vessel!

[@christianebuniel3703]

As an 18 year old, these preachings are starting to prepare me as a woman of God. Realizing the past relationships I had, this message has really dawned me to not look back at it because God has a deeper calling in my life. I don't know my purpose yet in my life but all I know is that I'm looking forward to it. Thank you so much for these messages. Because it is such a blessing to devote to the Lord upon the topics that is in our generation. You and your husband are such a blessing and I pray more blessings to come in your family as well. 😊

[@mommyonabudget2554]

This was for me omgggg I have been battling this for almost 4 months now , I keep running back to two men from my past to fill my loneliness , but it never works out I know God wants me all to himself.

[@sasharoberson6190]

same here!! i pray you have the strength to move forward this is my goal for 2016

[@crownedmelaninqueen]

Sasha Roberson Hi Sasha! I am Sausha too! Praying because I was thinking being here was perfection for me; and I was supposed to be with someone from my past instead of focusing on my current life.

[@BreenyLee]

Love this Heather, especially love what you said about "divorcing things in your life" that definitely hit home with me. 2016 is the year of commitment! :)

[@anda1200]

thank you honey as always very blessed to listen to you.Let us find a cause and all pray for that specific cause.Prayer lifts mountains.

[@AnastasiaEs.]

God literally led me to this video!!

[@jefferdenerochester7530]

I've avoided your channel for so long... Running from the conviction maybe.. I love you and your family. I love the way you guys allow the Lord to work through you. Keep up the good work.🙏🏽

[@ThaiZeo]

My bible plan I finished today talked about this, It relates to how we find comfort in bondage even though god provides for us because of some temporary comfort that was in our bondage, Like how in Exodus the Isrealites wanted to go back to egypt and missed it because they were able to eat food and live knowing what was gonna happen, despite seeing gods handy work they didn't trust his voyage for them so he didn't give them the land he had promised due to lack of faith.

[@vickibeaver3441]

Heather I am 65 years old and wanted to say to both you and your husband, that God has annointed you both with His wisdom to instruct people of all ages. Your videos truly bless my heart. Love you both. I truly needed and was blessed by this particular video today of holding onto your past. I'm sure I'll be listening to this message again and again.

[@sugarjones8047]

I fell in love with an atheist, Heather. Jesus was calling me out of it from the beginning, but I ignored Him and got myself all done up. I feel so, so stupid. I didn't know I could hurt this much. Your sermon helped a lot though. Thank you very much.

[@Nou75]

I know that feeling. Tamara from the real called it missionary dating. Converting a non-christian man to a believer. It can be very draining and God saved you from many more years of heartache and headaches. With time your heart will heal & God will provide you with many more blessings!

[@sugarjones8047]

Marie Predestin thank you. i'm ok now.

[@hug1up]

Sugar Jones I love that God is forgiving and even in our disobedience he can still take any situation and use it for our good. This to me says he can take a negative and turn it into a positive. The positive is you can now trust God and the plans he has for you. Pray for your friend to have a softened heart for the holy spirit to inhabit

[@NissiOsue]

I was like whoa Lord are you speaking to me right now? Thank you Lord for this lady. God bless you Heather.

[@RoyalTeaNation]

God is speaking because the last two messages you've given have been preached at my church in the same weekly time frames... God is AMAZING! Bless you woman of God

[@itspurejoy7927]

It’s funny this is my second time watching this because I’m feeling lost. I’ve let go of people that hurt me spoke to and opened up about how I felt and asked them for forgiveness and forgave them. Now when she said “ your probably unhappy because your living in your past” and I feel like I’m living in the past with situations that happened to me and a certain relationship 😭

[@prettygirlrock195]

Yassssssssssssss Heather's face is beat!!! Gorgeous woman of God! (I had to say this lol)... Thx for uploading this video!

[@akeemakhaira5810]

Lol yesss I was thinking the same thing. Stunning woman of God. She really reminds me of the singer Faith Evans

[@biancalynn9889]

+kika myverla gotta love a BEAUTIFUL woman of God !

[@biancalynn9889]

***** "Judge not according to sight , but judge righteous judgement. God knows her heart . Nothing she spoke on spoke against the Lords spirit. So judge not in flesh , but of the spirit .

[@luvmifro1003lovesfamily]

She is an example of how we can live a full life and not walk around looking like life is happening to us. We represent The King!

[@shellzstarlight9839]

Letting go of my past, my eyes & ears are on focused on Jesus... thank you Heather so helpful.

[@Loversonly98]

I feel like I needed to hear this message today. I recently lost a relationship with someone who I thought I would be with forever after 8 years together. Long story short he's with someone else now and I think she is exactly what he needs. I was just so wrapped up in what me and him had I wasn't ready to let go and tried to "fight" to have him in my life. I tried one last time today to get closure from him or to see if we could work things out but I guess he was able to do what I couldn't and let go of the past and finally embrace his current life. Despite me acting on the desires of my flesh during this break up through yelling and saying things I didn't mean to him and his new GF I am now ready to trust in God and let go of this relationship and my previous attachment to him.

[@phoebeduero536]

Thank you. This one helps me this time. I had a hard time cutting off my communication for someone whom i broke up for almost 2 months now. But, Just yesterday I did it. I should have done it after the break up but didn't have courage to do it. It made me go back to the past. With God's help, I did what I suppose to do. This is the 3rd video I've watch from your channel. It trully helps. I know not only to me but to other ladies who wanted complete freedom from their past. God bless you and your ministry. I really to see you and thank you in person. I'm so grateful. Phoebe (from Philippines)

[@IAmDrJessicaColleen]

Heather, I’m tired of you stepping on my toes and punching me in the eye lol...you always come through with a good word!!! I needed this..I’m single but this still applies!

[@christingrant8401]

Thank you so much for this! I've been writing in my journal to my future husband and told him of a guy friend I had when I was five (I'm twenty- one now). Everyone we knew said we'd eventually get married. He ended up moving away a few months before we turned six. God shut that door then. I've been trying to open it out of stubbornness. I was too afraid to trust Gods plan for my life. I'm NOT afraid to trust him anymore. I'm tire of holding on to something that will literally NEVER happen. I want Gods best blessing for my life and it starts TONIGHT.

[@kimkane1835]

[@kurlinespeaks]

I love this message. It is definitely an internal war happening when we live in the past. All things including the most horrible things, WILL work together for our good. It was all part of the plan, the plan to make us better and not bitter. You Are Better Than Your Past!

[@LittleMarin]

Yesterday I had written in my journal about how unhappy and lost I feel where I currently am. A lot of bad things have been happening in my life lately, and it's so hard to understand why... Thank you, Heather, for this reminder. I need to remember that God is leading me and I need to stop dwelling on the negative... I need to let go and let God.

[@alexiswright5694]

"God won't bless something he's not involved in" I love that you said this! Great vid💕

[@cookiesCBM]

It's crazy how God works.. I was avoiding to watch any of her videos that had to do with relationships being that I just got out of a long term relationship.. I didn't want to hear it. So I chose the video with a title that didn't mention relationships... and LOOORRRDDDD GOT ME. I'm glad I watched though. I really needed that today.

[@Destinyprojects4]

I just found your videos yesterday. I’ve already watched about 7. They are helping me so much. You cannot even imagine. I’m in tears. Most of all...to get in the Word more and more. I have been so suicidal. Divorced for 10 years, came to Christ 9 years ago and still have made terrible mistakes that break me. For self hatred, etc. All to say, this. This video - is helping so so much. Thank you, sister. So much.

[@menafiordaliza]

Amazing word! May God recieve the glory for raising up an army that is exposing the enemies schemes against our souls! May God continue to speak, convict and set the captive free! Thank you Heather Lindsey for being a vessel of God and allowing the Holy Spirit to move freely and impacting the nations and changing hearts! May we not just be hearers but doers of his word!

[@shaneakiajefferson2387]

"You just gon come for me like that Lord.. even up in this TJ Maxx?" LMBO loveeee it

[@priscillaosei-bonsu735]

God bless you! My biggest challenge has been my mentality. In my case, I had to leave him because I felt the Holy Spirit cautioning me, now I feel like I've hurt him and I just can't let go of all that and the mistakes in my past...

[@p33treekRipAir]

You are so smart! I fell in love with a woman who is significantly younger than I and it was all flesh. I ended up heart broken and still am, I pray every day for God to set me free from this attachment. It’s very real

[@sabrinagomez4500]

"You ain't wanna be my friend no more".......... This was persevered. Lord I avoided this video since yesterday. Thanks Lord

[@25447carepear]

Heather I'm 30 now , I have no friends and my life is lonely. Just the thought of what I lack in my life makes me cry. I never feel like God truly cares for me. I'm tired of begging and praying and honestly feel like I'm being punished. I watch videos like this all the time but still don't have God's attention. I'm tired of being lonely and pathetic.

[@pocaoxox4398]

+PIER J Hey hunny. God loves you & is for you. Sometimes we can be so caught up in our own feelings that we fail to feel his presence. He promised that he will never leave or forsake us . Hold on to that promise & I encourage you to start reading Job, Isaiah, & Psalms. Talk to him like a best friend ,ask him to hold you in his bosoms & comfort you. And most of all never stop praying that is our communication with him. I know when I get weary I just say "Have mercy & help me Lord". And I call on Jesus. Pray & ask him to bring Godly people in your life that will help you grow closer to him. Tell him that you are lonely & you feel punished he hears you & he cares. Im praying for you & I love you sis.

[@marquisstarks9471]

Hey Heather, I have been there and sometimes it feels like nothing will change. Try to just breathe and ask out loud for Jesus to use you. Sometimes it is hard and lonely for many seasons before the change comes. Try to hold on, we need you Heather. There is a spiritual battle on earth and in heaven. We love you.

[@fulaqueen]

I was just about to be miserable and condemn myself and my life your video saved me turned my whole mood around may the lord continue to use you . The anointing oooh how sweet . Praise God🙏🏾

[@MandsMagwaxaza]

Thank you, thank you Jesus for this word! Thank you, sis - this came at the perfect time. I made the decision 4 month ago to end things with my baby's father and pursue Jesus and the will of God in my life. Due to circumstances we have had to continue living together all this time, until God blessed me with a wonderful job opportunity and I have to move 1 hour out of town. Now the time is nearing for the actual move and Satan is causing havoc in the apartment. We started praying together and really putting Christ first in our relationship as co-parents and we have had such peace until now. Now we are at war. I know God does not want me to take him into my future and I thought that by introducing my baby's father to Christ I would be able to establish a different kind of friendship and ensure that when my baby is with him, she is still in a Godly household. But now he resents me for that I think, and he is being so mean and almost kicking me out of the apartment at this stage coz his new GF is not comfortable with the fact that we are still living together and have a good understanding. This whole situation is making me feel 100 different types of ways and I am not able to enjoy the future that God has promised me and is setting out. It is so hard to break a soul tie while living with someone and I really have no where else to go until I move to this new town that I am going to be living in. How do I heal our co-parent relationship without getting caught up in the emotional madness? Should l I even be trying to make peace?

[@nicolarakic1575]

Heather!!! Can't tell you how much how timely this was. I specifically choose this title as I knew you would tell me right! Thank you thank you for laying it down hard!!! And setting an awesome example of what happens when you pursue the Lord ! God bless!!!

[@Chosen1-i2s]

Your truly blessing me Rn I'm dealing with someone that's left me without any explanation and the pain hurts so bad but your words are healing me🙏❤

[@jayyyyygibbs]

Heather Lindsey❤️I just want to say you are a true gift from God! I appreciate your gratification for God. I thank you so much for not being selfish but taking the time and making videos! Your videos warm my heart!❤️ I feel moved when I watch your videos! I truly wish I could experience your church services but I am in Pennsylvania. But, I thank you for helping other people I am so happy I am one of those people.. so that I can walk better in Christ, be healed, delivered and have salvation!!☺️❤️

[@kekesays1755]

Totally needed this message. Popped right up after running back. smh Thank God for grace & mercy. This is so true! Silent wars are the hardest.

[@amandagreenford1004]

You have no idea how much your words spoke to me. This message was exactly what I needed to hear at this moment. Thank you!!

[@NaturalHouseWife]

I promise you were talking to me directly! I tend to focus on my past and the choices I have made not realizing God has a purpose for me which is why my path has been what it has been. I have been walking the line of realization and holding on to the past for quite some time now and with this message I just heard it is time to let it go so I can be a better me all around! Thank you for this

[@deaitrajones7]

Have mercy Jesus... Touching and agreeing on the word of God... Hallelujah! I receive it in the name of Jesus...Amen..

[@KushQueen9]

Thank you heather. I've really decided to let my life truly rest in God's hands. I can honestly say it took me ages to understand this, but now I'm grasping it once and for all. I love what you said about contentment and true joy being in Christ, it is TRUE. Right now I lack alot materially and physically speaking but I'm rich internally and spiritually. God will take care of everything else. This is a great confirmation. May God continue to use you Heather. xxx

[@AllAboutAliciaa]

I keep listening to secular music when I know I shouldn't be listening to. This was the old me that is still trying to tug on to this. I also have a problem when talking when not supposed to be talked and that was an old habit too. I now know that I should bring it unto the Lord and keep seeking him in the Word for when things like this keep ok happening.

[@TheChangedone1]

Why do you feel like you can't listen to secular music?

[@AllAboutAliciaa]

+Kendra Glasper It's because it's not fully worshiping him. & since I'm following him I can't have any connections with the world anymore, including secular music.

It's bad. I've never really assessed that issue with myself but I know I need to do so. I have a lot of hurt and frustration. I'm going to watch your other new video now.
