Who is here After watching Chris on MAFS?
Ya’ll are faster than the FBI 😭
@@HeatherLLove 🤣🤣🤣🤣and the stpry is just getting more crazy hey..did u catch episode 8?
Wait.. what’s the connection? Lol
"A lot of times it's not love...it's likeminded brokenness" 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 THAT was some HEAVY revelation right there!
Lynn Douglas Yes this comment was deep!!! Oh so real!
That's definitely what my Ex and I had. The Lord also told me if 2 people are wounded, who is it that can bring healing? Im like Wow. It wasnt that we were the only ones who understood eachother, it was that we had the same brokenness and spirits connected us making us think we can be healed by being "understood" lol But neither of us knew the way to healing which was always in Jesus Christ. Super deep revelation.
Lynn Douglas That was deep.
so deep !
My boyfriend and I are waiting to kiss until marriage it's so hard sometimes but I know we will be blessed by doing so. I have talked to other Christian men before I started courting my boyfriend and I remember in my prayers I would ask God...."If this ain't my husband Lord cut him out of my life" and surely enough He did. Ladies, pray, be patient, obedient and wise Jesus gots you!
I pray like that as well... and God always cut those I didn't need off somehow
And He will do it every time!
Just curious, why do you feel you'll be blessed because you didn't kiss before your wedding? I've heard people say this and because kissing isn't a sin. I wonder what the basis of this is?
JBxBEAUTY That's what was placed in my man's heart not to do. I on the other hand was all for us kissing he wasnt. I'm a not saying you won't be blessed if you do, but I know we will be out of obedience.
Love this! "Pray, be patient, obedient..."
She's probably watching #MarriedatFirstSight feeling like she dodged a bullet.
"I was focused on the wedding more than I was focused on the marriage" wow! Thank you ladies for your honesty and reminding us the importance of hearing from God 💜
Yes that is very great tip that just because two christians are dating does not mean they will get married. A lot of times they get married from the pressure we put on them. Very strong young ladies to share their testimony.
I am happily married and I feel encouraged to tell you both that you will be excited to marry the man of your dreams.
Wow this really blessed me. I went through this very thing in 2011. After being celibate for 6 months I gave in and slept with my then boyfriend. I got pregnant, being in the church and wanting to do the right thing I thougbt the best thing to do was to get married. I bought my dress, my girls got their dresses. I should've knew something was up. He was always talking to girls on the phone or texting. He would always say that they were just friends. He also REFUSED PRE MARRIAGE COUNSELING. So I sincerely prayed and asked for answers. I got an answer from 3 completely different people, one of which I didn't even know. Long story short GOD BLOCKED IT. I maybe a single mother but I THANK GOD I didn't end up in a unequally yoked marriage. I am yet trusting and believing that God will send my husband, I am doing all I can to make sure I am prepared.
Wava's Way love and blessings to you and your sweet baby. There is a master plan.
Wava's Way So proud of you!
Also, do everything to make sure that you're prepared if God doesn't send him. In other words, be prepared for whatever God chooses to do! We need to prepare ourselves for God, and He'll prepare us for our mates. But, we need to have the will to wait on God. Wait on God and be of good courage.
This month makes 3 years since my engagement ended. I didn't realize that more people go through broken engagements than I thought. It bothers me sometimes that I still haven't met the man GOD has for me, but at least I'm not locked in a miserable marriage and sneaking around trying to see who he's cheating on me with this time. I've been given another chance to experience marriage GOD's way. I'm so much happier being single than I would be if I had married him. Every time I think about it I thank GOD! PRAISE HIM!!!
I also broke off my engagement because of God led conviction. I refused to listen until he made it really plain as to what I needed to do . Dealt with alot of the things these ladies did. That was two years ago in May. Took these years to heal from it.
This video is like a closure confirmation for me to move on now 🙌🙇👏
I love Erin's story. As much as we may try to be pure in a dating relationship, it doesn't happen like that for everyone and to hear someone else say that you can still have purpose even after that is so encouraging. Thank you for sharing your stories!!
Thank you sis! You definitely have purpose, regardless of the mistakes you make. It's all in how you allow God to use that mess to turn into a message that can be used for His glory!
Msladybug So true!
Erin Nichole Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable. I pray you are in a much better place today!
Thanks for sharing your stories ladies. I was to be married Sept 3, 2016 and broke off the engagement in May 2016. I too thought it was of God because we both were Christians and courted God's way, but there were so many red flags and I ignored them thinking that God was stretching me and trying to build my faith. I was more sad than happy in the relationship. I thank God that I had the courage to walk away. I felt like a burden had been lifted off my shoulders. Please, if you know that you should wait or call off the wedding. Do not worry what people will say. You are the one that will have to live with the individual. Peace and blessings to all!
Erin! Well done you, you're bold. There was so much shame when you began speaking I knew you had been sexual with him, (you kept your head down) you couldn't even look at heather, girl you've moved on, give the glory to God. Your story is so relatable! No judgement here, glory to God!
Thank you sis. I don't think I really felt ashamed, I think that was me taking my mind back to that place in time, lol, and I just happened to put my head down at that moment.
Erin Nichole oh great just seen this. Thank God!
I am only hear to ear about Chris William ex-fiancee number 1
Me too LOL
Seems like she’s why he really moved to ATL!
@@tashemafacey5280 😂😂😂😂 same
Love the very last point that Erin made! Courtship does NOT automatically equal marriage! Courtship is a time for evaluation, in a God honoring, community-centered way! This was a great video! Thanks for sharing your stories ladies
Wow this is a great example that obedience is greater than sacrifice. Thank you ladies for sharing your stories. I believe it is going to bless and help alot of people.
Very inspiring! I'm not engaged or even dating...single as single can be lol but just seeing this transparency about struggling and triumphing in obedience towards God really hits home. It's a blessing to have the type of accountability that you guys do. Thanks for sharing guys. Really bold!
Jasmine W. lol I feel you Jasmine, I was just thinking the same thing! I'm not married, courting, dating or engaged I'm not even talking to anyone of the opposite sex, that's how good it is lol. But this brought so much revelation, the crazy part of all of this is that these were not even men of the world! I am confident in the love God has for us, and He will not let us go astray. I always say pay close attention to the conversations you all are having, if he is not on the same page, you will know. And make sure you are not compromising on your beliefs, the moment you even begin to consider doing that, that's a red flag.
L
I’m glad they shared their story. I’ve been through a similar situation. I feel like some men pretend to be a good Christian but in reality they are a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
I love that these women were so brave to share their story. Especially Erin's disclaimer that not all relationships God's way will work. I think that's so important. I think sometimes we tend to broadcast that we're dating God's way or use the hashtag just to brag to the world. When that's not God's purpose for us to live His way. He doesn't want us to be like the hypocrites in the street fasting so everyone can see or "dating God's way" to show others up. No, He wants us to minister to others through our courtship or even after it didn't work out which is what these women date. God bless!!!
So needed this 6 months ago! Thank you ladies for sharing this! Broke off my engagement last March. This was (and still is) the hardest season. I totally agree with church men (some of them) having sex and repenting the next day. I experienced this a couple of months ago and thought he was the one.
This video was awesome - felt like I was sitting in a room with friends.
Joanzie's Life definitely! me too! such a blessing
Excellent!. This young lady did the right thing when she sought the face of God and acted obediently in cutting it off totally. Those women who choose the remain "friends" are only leaving an open crack in the door for the snake to re-enter. Praise the Lord.
Erin that was so real. . Thank you ladies!
Thank you sis!
I met both of these ladies in Atlanta! they are so kind!
It's learning your self-worth in the midst of healing after this happens! Sometimes a woman doesn't truly know her purpose as these ladies shared prior to stepping in to a relationship. After stepping into very similar shoes I felt labeled as the ex. We get so blinded like buying a car it looks good on the outside but inside it has all these issues that need to pursue to improve /fix. Also, our desires take over from our choices of not letting go or choosing to sin. I think when we know Jesus says No! We think Jesus is not faithful in the details of our love lives when He truly is. Sometimes we magnify marriage so much because the focus and faith is not on God. It sounds like they are saying In many ways a dream has died the dream
Of "marriage" or to be "married" and yet the Lord knows all and all your desires and future spouse.Thank you for posting ladies &being bold!my encouragement is Jesus is faithful in all areas of our lives and it's His protection to keep trustworthy counselors and friends while single, engaged, courting, and married. He is our healer and He walks with us in the storm in the boat and in the healing process. There is much joy ahead!
I relate sooo much to Erin (?)!! I just broke it off with a guy who I knew was not the one for me; but not because I wanted to. I was just tired of being disobedient to God. Thanks for sharing your story!
likeminded brokenness mistaken for chemistry yohhh that hit me. That is deep!!It made me think of friendships too
I'm not married, yet, but this video has truly blessed me! I love Heather! She speaks on topics that the church sometimes be too afraid to speak on!!! I can't wait for July to attend The Pinky Promise Conference
This is so discouraging, the complexities of it all. I wish love was easy and effortlessly secure.
islandslim ting same I'm slowly giving up too complicated would of thought it would been easier with Christian men not saying you won't have any hardships
Well, it seems Erin dodged a bullet, a HUGE bullet, based on MAFS. Although I'm not a religious person, all of us has intuition and gut feelings. Please use it and trust it. It's there for a reason. Hope she is doing ok and feels validated by her decision not to marry him.
Great testimonies ladies and I pray that you both are blessed soon with God fearing, God sent husbands... Thanks Heather for the share. God bless all three of my beautiful sister in Christ in Jesus name~ Amen
Family members can cause other toxic attachments so it was pretty awesome to hear how easy it was to let go, when you are walking in obedience. This is full of wisdom!
It hurts so much when things don’t work but I love how God is taking care of my broken little heart and healing me and building me while God brought end to a toxic situation-ships and it left me bitter and broken but now i can only thank god because he’s saving me for someone who deserves me and to be more close to Him. 💜💛💛💛 stay strong if anyone see my comment i didn’t think i could go through but i am thanks to God 🙌🏾💜✝️ Just when you think it’s the end it’s just the beginning to something greater ! God ways are not our ways the journey may get hard but push through and stay true to the lord because his plans are always for our good not to harm us✝️🙌🏾💜💛💛💛
Thank you, Jesus, for Heather Lindsey! I am so happy in my single life. Jesus brings me so much joy and I go through a lot in my life because of my physical disability.
This video made me so excited for your upcoming show! Looking forward to more content like this.
You're in for a treat! I have so much fun stuff brewing!
Yessss!!!!:)
Heather Lindsey when will your 2018 conference be??? Just so anxious 😩 to go next year... my husband and I both want to come.
Wow-that was my God-sent answer!!! :-o :-D
I was engaged until 2012, have been single since then and have been almost constantly contemplating whether the break-up was a mistake and how/if I could have prevented it (especially since most people I now had been getting married/pregnant during the last years, even though I was the first one to be in a relationship/engaged)... But something always felt not quite right...Like what you said about not being able to submit to that person... Interestingly this morning I watched a Joyce Meyer preaching, where she said the exact same thing! So, thank thank thank you (and God of course :D) for this testimony of yours! :)
This was awesome, and I ain't even dating or engaged. 😬
Love you Heather! This was great. So thankful for the ladies and their testimonies.
Omg I'm soooo glad you were able to get this on here I've been waiting on this video!!!!
Thank you ladies for such transparent testimonies!
This video was a true God send. It resonates with me and my current journey. I pray that it frees alot of women. I too ended an engagement 2 yrs ago. Since that time I
experienced God sharing my purpose to teach women that they are valuable in him and there is no need to look at the world, society or a male partner to validate their innate worthiness that comes from being born. I just can't express how much your continued obedience blesses my walk with God. Heather sister I love you!
I related so much❤️thank you so much, Heather for this amazing video😍
Wise words! Thank you ladies for sharing your personal experiences.
I just found you and this is the second video I have watched of yours. Thank you so much for this. I needed it. ❤

Thank you Heather, Erin, & Sabine for your transparency! May God continue to be with you all and give you strength!
your channel is such a blessing Heather! God bless you
btw I love your blue floral top, where did you get it?
I understand Erin. I did the same exact thing Erin did after my broken engagement. I really enjoyed this video. Very helpful and insightful.
This was amazing!! God is faithful and I am so happy God stepped in!!
Great video. thank you Ladies for the transparency. this should come in handy when marriage comes knocking on my door. Blessings
Love this video! Youre the best Heather and thanks to Erin and Sabine for being brave and sharing! You ladies are lovely! To God be the glory

And for them!!!! Many blessings❤❤❤❤
wow, this is sooo good. Thank u for this. Awesome.
Three gorgeous ladies! God bless 😊 thanks again Heather sis 💛
Thank you for this video. God is always right on time!
Wow Ladies, Especially Erin, thanks for sharing your story. Definitely encourged me to stay focused on Jesus and allow him to bring by husband (if thats his will for me to be married). The whole hidding my man to simple just have one is also a temption for me. But from your story, I see that its truely not worth it. So thank you.
This video was amazing and so encouraging!!! Although I have not yet been engaged, I can definitely relate in being in a relationship that I knew was not OK. I am so thankful for growth in the Lord so now I listen and see clearly those red flags!!! Heather, you are amazing for putting this positive and necessary content (along with your personal experiences) out here for the world to see. And to both ladies for sharing their story: you both are courageous and incredible for being so transparent!!!
I am so thankful that God dropped the idea for this video in your spirit. Thanks to everyone who shared their testimony. This video really blessed me.
Awesome video so many lessons
Of life learned here about relations
It is a battle of faith to say the least
And thank you Heather for sharing
With friends
And the beauty you bring wearing only jeans and floral blouse weariing nothing else and bare feet. Praise God
This video blessed me so much & gave me so much insight on how to go about a relationship in The Lord. No matter how I feel about a guy in the future, it will never measure up to how God feels about him being in my life or not. So excited for your new show. You're such a blessing Heather. thank you ❤️
Wowwwww thanks so much for sharing your stories sisters. You are brave and courageous in The Lord and so many people will be blessed by your testimonies. God will heal, restore you both and will bring the right man in the right season for you beautiful God-fearing women. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
a simple thank you is not enough but I don't have the words to express what I feel!
This is so eye opening. I wish we have all these fasting and prayer right at the beginning the moment you start dating or talking. Will save us so much trouble and time.
THIS IS CRAZY GOOD! praise the Lord for your channel Heather (and your team😁). I have never contemplated these issues before- and their testimonies have deeply affected me! God bless you women!
both strong women definitely praying for you guys 😊😊😊😊
Thank you ladies for sharing your stories and being so transparent and bold for the Lord! I am truly encouraged by you all, awesome women of God. Thank you. ♥️
This is great, another much needed video ❤️
Wow, the vulnerability here is beautiful. God bless all of you for being so open. it's not easy to be vulnerable, but I know this blessed me and will do the same for others. God bless
Thanks so much for this video Heather. I really enjoyed it and it resonated with me a lot since I broke off my engagement as well. However I felt like it really didn't address 'healing from a broken engagement'. I felt like it focused more on those in ungodly relationships and having the courage to break things off among other things. If you could do a video on what people tend to do after a broken engagement, like their emotions, their relationship with others, poor decisions, dating after a failed engagement etc. That'll be really helpful. Thanks and God bless you.
Of all your videos, this one is still my favorite. I panicked when I was ready to watch it some weeks ago and it mysteriously disappeared. I started rationalizing that maybe I was crazy and imagining things. You are such a blessing to women across the globe Heather and I cannot thank you enough. God bless you.
