    This is so real. You also have to test the spirits of those close to you and watch the spirits that you let into your home. Satan is a believer, but not a follower...don't be fooled. Blessings upon you!

    Awesome video. I'm 22 and many people ask me why I don't listen to secular music, watch certain movies and tv shows and this is exactly why. I'm growing my faith and understanding that there are so many things created to take us away from God and get us into things that are worldly. It's so important to guard our hearts, mind and eyes in order for us to grow and in turn strengthen our relationship with Jesus.

      Sis this is so encouraging! I'm 20 and people think I am so extra. I've even been questioning if certain "positive" songs are okay to listen to but every time the holy spirit corrects me.

    I went to a church for 2 years. God must've blinded me because I sat under this spiritual dead ministry for 2 years. And He finally woke me up and for 6 months, showed me EVERYTHING that was wrong. The last day, the Holy Spirit told me to listen for Jesus. It made sense why because that pastor never said the name of Jesus, the Gospel, the Cross, in that sermon (Easter and Christmas don't count lol) NOTHING...so I left. It was hard because I love so many people there and they loved me. But I remember the Lord explaining it to me that every time I walked in that Church, the Holy Spirit stayed behind outside waiting for me to come out. So scary. A church without the Holy Spirit who ensures the preaching of Christ and Him Crucified, is dangerous. No matter the fellowship.

      Young women in Christ or babes in Christ are Blessed to have someone like Heather. When I first accepted the Call to Christ many years ago, I wanted to see someone like me who wanted to follow the principles of the Bible, but couldn't find any. Most of my friends WHO WENT TO CHURCH were fornicating and wasn't sure it was practical. I'm glad the Lord has people like Heather to teach the babes and young women in Christ.

    I had that same experience at church where god revealed to me the truth about the pastor and his wife and entire church. They never prayed for me and my son like i asked . I needed a backing to get my baby back from cws and they continued to reject helping me. They were all white and spanish and i noticed it was because i was not them. So thanks . I also went home and kneeled and worshipped untill the lord sent me to the right people who could help. Yup , i got your message! God bless you!

    I just love that Heather talk to so simple and plain. No fancy words just straight to the points with example and with the word of God to back it up . I can't listen to people talk about God and they speak as if they at a poetry stand up and more focused on how there words flow for people praise ! Where have you been Heather all this time ?! Lol!! You are a true example of not looking on the ppl faces and God get his glory out of you !

    Oh my goodness Heather! Always as a child and teen my mom would try to bring us to different churches. I always would say to her this church is no good, etc. She always thought I didn't want to go to church. That is not the case. I felt evil in some and nothing in the others. Finally at age 30. I have found a church which feels good. Great message.

    Amen. This was what we studied in Bible study in college last semester. The book of 1 John. It's very important for us to test the spirit at all times. The music, the people, the movies we entertain can be a hindrance to our walk with God. We have to be careful. P.S. I love your olive blouse/hair. Very Beautiful ✨

    I was looking for answers to whether or not people can bring bad spirits into your home. This really hit home. Sometimes you may think you're trying to influence other people in a Godly way but just having them around is unhealthy for you. I've been trying to figure out why I've been feeling down all week and "your houseguest" dropped into my spirit. Thank you.

    Heather, this video, I watched yesterday...may have just saved my life. I had met a man professing to be a "christian" man etc however it wasn't sitting well in my spirit and I would feel the same grief you were talking about after each conversation with him (phone)...after watching this I realized that my spirit, the holy spirit, God was telling me to listen and NOT have anything to do with him! I couldn't rest and finally decided to run a background check on him. What I discovered made me so sick- a rap sheet stemming almost 20 years with recent arrests that included corporal injury to spouse, child endangerment, domestic violence, multiple DUI's etc. Lord, thank you for Heather, thank you for your spirit and thank you for loving me! Ladies, take heed TEST EVERY SPIRIT! some of those that say they come from God are not from God!

    You made a good point about opening your spirit up to lust even if whatever you were looking at doesn't necessarily attract you. For example, a girl who likes men, but is seeing pictures of half-naked girls. I didn't see this as a huge issue but now I am re-thinking it. It could be a portal for some things going on in my life. Thanks.

    • @booksarefromheaven49
      @booksarefromheaven49 7 років тому +4

      Nadin
      Actually,I believe God told her that because she may be a new christian or maybe He knows how those books would impact her.
      For example,there are christians who can read even books which have new age things in them and yet not be fooled. It depends on how mature you are in your christian lifestyle . God may tell to some people not to read a specific book,and He may let another person read it.
      Always pray before reading.
      For example,today I read a book which said that we are all gods . Lol.. new age..i know.
      But it also had some truth in it,it said not to take everything personally,and some other interesting stuff which are not contradicting the bible. We have to ask God to help us discern what we read.

    Thank you, Heather! I have heard you speak about testing every spirit many times before, but this explanation is so informative and timely to my situation. God knew that I needed to hear this! Could you do a video on the process of sanctification, particularly for singles? How does God use your job, your friendships, mentors, participation in various things in the church to sanctify a single? I've heard that marriage is the biggest tool of sanctification, and i believe that God hasn't left singles out, but I'd like to see how He works all things together for singles, as well.

    Thank you so much for this Spiritual Conviction. It definitely ministered to my heart. My vice is secular music, although, of course I love and listen to my Gospel Music (Contemporary and Old). I try to compartmentalize the music for when Jesus blesses me with my husband :), but I feel HE is speaking to me and HIS Word through you was on point for me. Thank you for your obedience Heather. Please keep on the str8 and narrow; your walk is a blessing to Daughters-In-Christ like myself. -With Love
