God has just revealed to me that I struggle with jealousy. I didn't want to accept it but it's true. "She ain't even that cute" is always in my mouth. That's so ugly and I'm ashamed of it. God is taking me higher but wants to rid me of this ugliness first. Thank you so much for this message, Heather.
I will be praying for you!
im not a sister lol im a guy from india struggling with jealousy in my heart .....thank you for this message and for reference of scripture
Thank you for being obedient to GOD and posting this video! It's crazy how jealousy can creep into our hearts, especially when we are going a serious pruning season. I really appreciate this message, thanks again.
This is so TRUE! Wow!
@ Heather Lindsey, I just did the math in my head and realized that you were 22 when you started your walk with God, this is bringing so much encouragement to me because I to I'm at that same stage in age and also in my walk in God, I used to think that giving myself to God in my youth would be a waste of it, but I can clearly see that it is all lies from the pit of hell. I've been praying to God for more grace to live for Him because I know my purpose is attached to a life in Him. Models like you are also showing me that God hasn't even started with me. Because you yielded yourself as a vessel of the Most High, girls like me have models like you to emulate. God bless you
Ivy Obi your post really encouraged me as well
i feel so blessed that it did
Ivy Obi yes! This literally brings so much perspective this journey is a marathon not a sprint, following Jesus is soo worth it
I use to think the same way, but when I finally gave my life to Christ, I had moments where I was sad because I waited so long and how I wish I did it when I was like 13 or even younger..
But the Lord gave me peace about it by telling me how now I know the difference of being in Christ and being without Him. I never want to go back to living a life without Him. It’s only by His Grace .
Amen! You can't focus on someone's chapter 40 when you're starting chapter 1 for yourself! Hallelujah!
I almost feel like I want to cry because this video helped me sooooo much. My friend is engaged and sometimes I’m happy for her but there are so many other times when I feel jealous and envious of her. I even feel resentment towards her fiancé because I hate how he came into her life and took her away from me, in a sense, because now I don’t see her as much. The jealousy has been such an issue and it’s starting to eat me up inside. The devil comes to me and starts attacking by saying “you’re never going to find somebody” and “no one will ever love you” and I actually entertain those statements and start to believe them. This has reminded me that I need to fight back and remember who I am. I’m God’s child and my life and my future are in his hands, he’s in control, so what do I have to fear or worry about? I need to feel happiness and joy for my friend and the blessings that God has given her, and trust that my day will come because God works for my good.
Yesss sis! Resist the devil and he will flee!
Notice she didn't say "shout over it" or "praise through it". LOL! I love that. This is sound teaching. I love that praying for the person was the first advise. I'm definitely going to take those scriptures and apply them to this ugly thing. I hate jealousy and when it comes up out of my heart it can be discouraging. But I believe I'm heading into full victory over it.
Amen. Jealousy slows down our walk with the Master!!
Amen
Thank you Lord. Thank you Heather I needed this, I was praying about Jealousy, Envy and Bitterness Yesterday asking God to help me with this area of my life. And he always comes through. I was struggling because I kept looking at other peoples lives where they had it all figured out, God had told them what to do, And how they've done everything I've every dreamed of doing. But I give it to God right now, I'm not going to let the devil hold me bound with this anymore in Jesus name Amen
A heart at peace gives life to the body but envy rots the bones
-Proverbs 14:30
Just for further study :)
Yep, life is like a vapor. We literally have no time for these emotions. It’s better to let go of the past and forgive. Pray instead of be bitter of someone else. Jealousy is just sad because your different from the rest and the way they were designed corresponds with what God made them for. You have a different purpose to fulfill and to be jealous hearted just...throws your goal here down the drain. Doubt and worry got to go too. Nothing but stumbling blocks. Blinding you from what you could become...
Yes, praying over the person you are jealous of is such a great way to fight the temptation. So encouraging!
I struggle with jealousy and envy besides other things but I’m praying God helps me and delivers me from my sinful nature. Thank you for posting this video. I will definitely be taking this issue to God in prayer and repent.
Awesome video! People don't want to talk about this but it's time to deal with out issues by bringing it to the Lord. Thank you for discussing this!
SoulStyleBeauty so true!
facts
"How do you expect God to bless that mean soul of yours" 🤣 funny but true
wow oh wow..This is confirmation...This came right on time.this is a area i struggle with..I'm take this to God and ask for help..
Kelia J it's a blessing that you can be honest. Some people cant be honest.
Renee Bailey girl I got to tell my truth ..😁😁😁
I needed to listen to this message right now .. may God abundantly bless you sister Heather
Loving your honesty in this video. All great points sis! Let's get so busy with what God has called us to do that we have no time and space to be jealous of someone else. Love it!
Jealous, envy, bitterness is bad period. It eats up the hearts of those that possessed it.
I loved this Heather, thank you so much. I struggle with jealousy, despite having so much to be thankful for. To that green eyed monster within, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus! Cast you out, demon! I pray for the best for everyone - because God is love and the Lord I serve has my portion waiting for me! Amen
Awesome video Heather! And congrats on the tv show!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I have gotten to where I can truly be happy for others who are Christians getting the things I desire. HOWEVER, I do have a problem with unsaved people getting the things I want.
Thanks for sharing this. Really battled with this last year when it feels like nothing in my life was clear or working it out but all my friends seemed to be winning. Tough lesson to learn.
I actually am struggling with feeling bitter and angry and jealous right now and I am not sure how to handle it. I am 21 years old and I just got married two months ago. I have been with my husband for almost six years. Recently, just a little while after getting engaged and especially now that we are married, I find myself being jealous of his mother! of all the people I know in my heart that doesn't make sense and we have always been close, his mother and I. I do love her. But for some reason, I feel upset when she kisses him on the cheek or when she is always like coming up and hugging all over him. Or when she calls and talks to him and asks him to go out with her alone. She is a very beautiful woman and a young mom. I need help and definitely advice and prayer. I do not want to feel this way. I mean I know there is no competition but my mind makes it one. I feel this beginning to resonate in my heart sometimes and I don't want to grow cold toward her. Help!
Hebrews 13:5 is my go to!!!!!!
I love this message! I believe this video is a sign that I am on the right track in my spiritual journey. Just a few months ago I was bitter, jealous, envious but I realize I was envious for no reason. God is really working in my life. Now I'm at peace and appreciate what God have given me. Everything is working for my good.
exactly well said people assume because you walk a certain way look a certain way etc that your life is easy Ive been thru so much like you and like you i dont find or have the energy to be jealous or envious its a waste of emotion no one knows what anyone is going thru nor what they overcame to be there🙌🏾
Thank you for this video Heather! I have been struggling with jealousy and self-esteem issues for years and have been praying diligently about this. I appreciate you sticking to God's words and speaking the truth even though it is hard!
Yes! It is so kingdom to celebrate when others succeed or are doing well. It really does welcome break through in our own lives when we rejoice and cheer on others even when we are still waiting for the fruit of blessing to come in the same area. May we all be a people who build up not tear down. May we champion others to thrive in all things, but especially where we hope for increase. Good word. Thanks!
Thank you for making this video, Heather! This is the exact sin I've been focusing on to overcome this week. Its a hard process, but I believe I will be delivered in Jesus name.
I needed to really hear this message this morning I have been injured since February due to a fall where I hurt my arm and neck really bad. I find that it's hard to find confidence in myself as it's hard to do every day tasks that I never had trouble doing before. I am usually a Tom boy kinda girl and very strong. Jesus and I have gotten through a lot of issues in my life. However being injured doesn't only play a role in your physical body but also your mental. I find that it's easy to get jealous of other people who can do things that I cannot. Please join me in praying that I get answers to my health issues soon and that God will give me the ability to overcome this. Thank you heather for sharing this video I watch you many mornings and listen to your messages they have been helping me a lot in various areas.
have a blessed day everyone!
GOD heal you completely, mind, spirit, soul, body and make you whole!
this is such an on time video! I literally LITERALLY was praying to God about this topic this morning. omg!!!!
Heather you have no idea how much this really influenced me and touched me . It's as if JESUS himself spoke to me through you!!! We focus so much on painting this picture of our lives for the wrong intentions and comparing our lives with the "perfect lives" of others ..... when in reality being jealous is telling JESUS himself that his portion that he gave to us isn't enough!!! Just wow !!! Thank you for this message God Bless you
This video is literally right on time. God is so good. This woman is amazing!!!
Your videos have helped me with my walk with God !! I thank you for spreading the word Heather
Jelousy is described as being jelous😂😂😂 Great video Heather, as always!
I currently am struggling with co parenting. This is why! Putting my focus back in the Lord..watch my life fall back into place in the next year!
My name is Sean Mick, I was saved on February 16, 1996 in repentance of my sins, and trespasses. I am an athlete with the Special Olympics due to my mental condition. I am content that I am accepted in this program. I am content on what I receive based on my attitude, and effort in the competition. I am always happy with other achievements from other athletes.
Thank you for this video. I've been a little jealous of people that are successful in their careers and have a job. At this time I don't have a job...but I know God has something for me in the future maybe a good and high paying job. Keep me in your prayers.
Really helpful.... It took tym for me to recognize the envy in my heart and then I searched for sermons on it ..really very useful..praise be to god
Thank you so much ! I really needed this I prayed early that God could show me If there’s any hidden sin in my heart. And I came upon this Vid it was very helpful. Right after I prayed I felt like this Super heavy Weight I been carrying had beeen lifted right off. It was Amazing God bless you. 😭😭😭❤️
Thank you so much I needed this so much God bless you I struggle with jealousy envy anger proud and low selfestine and people pleasing I'm about to pray it hurts my heart when God show me myself but I know God is delivering me stripping me and purging me cleansing me inside out.......🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭😢😢😢🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Thanks for blessing us with the truth and allowing GOD use you to help us be better☺️
Merci merci merci, even if i don't personally struggle with jealousy, God was talking to me through some of your words. God bless you
Thanks a lot for this message I've been suffering a lot from this since the beginning of the year and I'm willing to change and allow the Holy Spirit to help me... I'm very insecure girl and my family doesn't show me love and I grew up afraid since I was being beaten a lot by my elder brother and mom and everyone in the family was against me and saw me as the bad child and it really affected me... This is 20 years worth damage but I trust that God can turn any bad situation to good
The first time I clicked on this,it did not speak to me coz I judged you Hesther for being too hard or direct.I felt jealous if you and did not even finish listening
Today i watched again and I am blessed. THANK YOU JESUS FOR HEATHER
I'M COMPLETELY GRATEFUL FOR THIS MESSAGE... PRAISE YAH!
Thank you Heather for always posting such encouraging messages that speak to the heart & encourage us to become better Christians. God bless you & your ministry & your family! With love all the way from South Africa :-)
This is good. I have experienced some things & ongoing petty situations that I didn't quite understand. I do now. Thank you Sis. Heather! Your messages speak to me on so many levels as they are always heart checking messages and this one helps me to understand certain behaviors. God bless you, your marriage, your husband, your children and ministry. 💕
That was such a beautiful analogy at the end of the sermon, that we are each a part of the arm and one part can not be jealous of the other because we all have a function working together for his purpose! That when one part is weakened that we must lift that other part up, great message! I love watching your videos! May God continue to bless you and your family Amen.
Hello, I am Katy, thank you for posting this video. I am struggling with mental illness and I don't know why when I watched Heather prayed and mentioned about jealousy, some kind of force wanted to come out from my body. I didn't expect that at all. I am not here to scare people, I just need help. I need people to pray for me. I was convicted when Heather read the scriptures about immaturity in Christ. I know I need to catch up with Jesus a lot more. I will talk to you later. Have a blessed day, bye bye.
You have helped me soooo much Heather. I will never forget your videos and how much they have helped me when needed!! I pray that our AWESOME GOD continues to bless you greatly. You deserve it!! I am so honored and happy that God has blessed you with your very own TV show!!! !! That's more people who will be blessed:))) I LOVE AND THANK YOU SO MUCH! *
I needed this so much! I hate this word too and when you least expect it, it creeps in; thank you for reminding us that we need to be vigilant and ready to cast it away and know God's plans are set aside for each of us and encourage us to pray for those we envy and fight the enemy with God's love!
HI, Heather, I just came across your channel. What a blessing!! It was definitely a God thing!! I've been struggling with bitterness, envy and Jealousy. Thank you for this! I subscribed and the bell is on!
THANK YOUUUUU!!!!!! PRAISE GOD FOR THIS I WAS HIGHLY ENCOURAGED
Heather, this was really good. Thank you for your transparency. The same thing happened to me-God said pray for this person. As a matter of fact He said do you even pray for this person? I set a timer in my phone every day for a week at a certain time to stop and pray for them. It was more of resentment behind offensive ways and how they come off - but God says that people are still made in his similitude and we are to bless them. And so true not knowing someone’s whole story behind the scenes. Very good
Just what I needed- I will pray for her in Jesus Name!! This was a Blessing to me for sure! And may God continue to bless you, encourage you and Bless you!
My jealousy just makes me feel bad about myself, I don’t trip about another it just makes me feel like trash
You cannot be jealous of other people but you can be envious of them. Jealousy is the fear of losing what you have. Envy is wanting what others have or having ill intentions towards someone because you want what they have. This is similar to covetousness, which the 10 commandments talk about.
Girl, the Lord used you to speak directly to me. Thank u so much for your love, diligence, and faithfulness to the work of the Lord.
Thank you God , for speaking to me.
thank your being obedient and doing this video. i am a hot mess! i pray that i can be strong enough to focus on God and not the things of this world. God help me!
This is such a great topic! Especially for women!! Love it!
Thank you for being such an amazing big sister to me, I thank God for your words and your stories
Amen! Amen! Amen! Heather once again you are bringing truth. I am naturally disciplined and just believe faith without works is dead, however it challenges me . I struggle with my strong ability to push forward but dealing with the lack of there of in other people, especially KNOWING the areas they need to correct. I cannot be involved in relationships of someone always complaining, being jealous and bitter but then being the victim and all the excuses in the world!
I am praying on guidance in mercy this year, loving people where they are at, what that means and what that balance looks like while holding people accountable as iron sharpens iron.
Thank you for always allowing me to see and hear things through spiritual eyes and ears 😇😇😇 ....
Oooo Heather read me sis!! I have a friend whom we both divorced and been single the same amount time and she found someone else a year ago..now I am happy for her but I was like dang what I do??lol why I still haven’t found anyone??i started being so jealous cause our relationship changed cause she was wrapped up in him (understandable) and I just had this jealous spirit but God is steady convicting me🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you for sharing this message and being used by the Lord to bring healing to so many people. Congratulations on your TV show, may the Lord continue to bless your business endeavors.
Awesome word! Congratulations on the show, I'll be re watching to look up scripture in my quiet time.
Heather, you are on point girl! thank you
Raw and Real, thank You Jesus, thank you Heather.
amen!! thank you Heather! gosh God just uses you to confirm things and areas I didn't even know was a struggle and how to effectively deal with them! my mother told me the devil speaks to you in first person making you believe it's your evil thoughts when it's not. you have to know who you are and whose you are!
Wow I love how god uses his divine timing I really needed to hear this message right now thank you for being obedient to the lord and thank you for let him use you as a vessel❤🙏🏻🙌🏻
Thank you Lord for heather she tells it like it is!
Thank you so much! This video meant a lot to me. ive been struggling with jealousy for over 2 years ever since my son was born. It's affected relationships. :( Thank you Heather. Thank you a lot. i love your videos.
I've been watching you for years and after walking away from God and now returning He led me back to you. Thank you for your obedience
So Real!!! Thank you! I thought I was alone and too ashamed to share this was happening to me. Thanks for letting God speak through you.
That's awesome,T.V fits you! Thanks for being honest. So many of us have experienced this including myself in the body of Christ. When are jealous.
it goes unchecked because usually we assume that jealousy is always for a woman who might be in the lower brackets but there are women who are high-ranking leaders and CEOs of companies that are secretly jealous and bitter.
Thank you so much for sharing this.There was times in my life I struggle with this. At times that envious spirit try to push itself against me but God. He allows me to see how that spirit is so rotten and decaying to my soul. God bless you sister. You're beautiful!!!
Such a wonderful message. I think sometimes we forget that what is coming out of our mouth, or what we think is jealousy. Thank you for sharing this.
Wonderful word to begin the new year. So on time Heather!
God bless you.
the truth you dont wanna hear but need
Great talk!!! It is so hard w social media not to compare ourselves to our peers!!Thanks for the reminder!
Mrs. Lindsey thank you so much for this. I can't wait to see you live and in person @ Trinity church next week. you are an amazing woman and thank you for all your encouraging videos. I have been going through some hard things but I choose to trust in the LORD and know that He has a plan much better than mine. thank you.
God led me to this video I promise😩 When I say you just touched my soul.. Thank you so much Heather. I don't know you but I love you!. I've started my journey with christ and I'm honestly so glad I now have your channel. It's not easy studying alone, half the time I don't understand the word or simply can't relate to it but you break it down in a way where I can defiantly understand.
This is such a timely message... Blessings!
Jealousy is only human nature, it’s not the green eyed monster unless you’re gonna kill the person you’re jealous of. But I agree, if it gets overboard where your heart is full of hate that’s when true cleansing needs to take place.
This video is so timely! Thank you for posting!
Your hair and outfit look great in this video by the way!
Ouch . I needed thus at this very time . Praise God ! Replace with prayer for them . Amen !
Thank you for obeying God and making this video - truly was a message God knew I needed! Amen!!
thank u. praise GOD
God bless you Heather. This came in good time. I thank God that you listen to His leading and let Him use you to bless the church.
2:28 God brought that verse to mind earlier...only in bits but when I looked up this video it became clear why this verse was on my mind. clearly, God is using it to speak to me!
Hail yahweh, Please take hold of my mind, I cast out all evil thoughts
I pray for my family that they let go of racism, insecurity, self loathing, anger, Envy, Sin Ect
I pray for the souls of my family that died of sin. Amen
I needed to hear this. Thank you very much. My heart is in the wrong place on many occasions. Our heart motivations are as important as the things we do. God bless you in this work of ministry and act of obedience!
Thank you for this video and I love it again.. It just really gets me for I am still a teen and I really struggle with jealousy. I sometimes don't know whether what I am doing is a part of jealousy. And as I watched this video it lifted my heart and I thought that yeah I am not gonna live with the green monster. I am gonna live with GOD. even though the world hates me, my friends and family. I will not Fight and hit them back with evil instead I will pray for them.. Thank you so much for this vlog . love it a lot.. :D
you are still young sweetie. i dealt with a lot when I was a teen. Love yourself, be grateful for what you have and ask God for guidance.
The girl I'm jealous of right now I have a huge resistance to praying blessings over her, it's so painfull.
god bless your soul, you speak right into the hearts of this generation, your reward is great in heaven
Thank you for this video! It really blessed me ❤️🙌🏽
thank you Lord for your message. love you all like crazy. all to the glory of God
Hello Heather :) Wow, I was longing to find someone who would share Biblical truth on the internet. And today I found you as I was searching on youtube about the jealousy thing. Sister, I am so thankful that the Lord has made you a godly woman. I love that the Lord has made you so honest. You know, I love people who are honest about their struggles, because then I feel like it is only me who is wrestling. And thank you for the sound doctrine you preached during these minutes. I am proud that you are my sister in Christ. May the Lord bless you abundantly. Love you so much :)
Thanks for keeping it 💯. I'm battling jealous, envy and bitterness.
That's real.
