    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!

      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.

    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. 😊

    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 😭

    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.

    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.

    @computerlover536 5 років тому +2

    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.

  • @Thaizeo
    @Thaizeo 5 років тому +2

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

  • @christingrant8401
    @christingrant8401 8 років тому +4

    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.

    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.

    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
      @pocaoxox4398 8 років тому +9

      +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 6 років тому

      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.
