Struggling on what it means to spend time with God & hearing His voice? Check out my newest video!
How can a complete stranger bring me this much closer to God? Bless your soul Heather you brought awareness to my life with this area.
There Was A Time When People Went To Church, Heard The Truth, And Wept Over Their Sin. Today People Go To Church Hear A Motivational Speech, And Ingore Theirs Sins.
I LOVE THIS STATEMENT -- YOU ARE ON POINT MY FRIEND. ON FREAKIN POINT.
I love that you said, "You never know what's on the other side of your obedience." Amen sister!
I heard the Lord's voice in a dream once it was so powerful and I woke up shaking... First time hearing the Lord's voice in my whole life... He's amazing! He knows your heart
How his voice like ?
such a Godsend. I was just asking God about hearing His Voice.
Ikr? Me too!!!
Yes!!!
Yeah, and what the fuck did he say? Next time record it, and share it with the world.
Challenge yourself, and read a science book. You sound so stupid, you have never seen or heard your so called Lord, if your hearing things, please get some help. How dumb! Human nature tells you to grab a blanket when your cold, you see it in the animal world where they seek warmth from the sun. I don't believe in any Gods, but I know when I'm cold or Hot, how is that possible in your world?
You don't know left from right, without the Lord! That's just stupidity, it has nothing to do with believe in any God. Your just stupid, which is Ok, just don't invoke a God, to cover of your limited knowledge of the world.
This message came right on time. I feel God has been trying to tell me to stop idolizing social media and spend more time with Him. The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is check my phone and I usually fall asleep with it in my hands. I'm committing to replacing that time with praise and prayer, because I want so badly to be closer to my Father. I'm so thankful He used you to lay it out plan and clear for me.
Kim Nacole I have that same issue. Its like an addiction. I would be bored and just get on social media. To help with this, I put a time limit on my social media apps. Once this limit is over with for the day, the apps dim and I’m not able to access them. Now, instead of getting on social media when I’m bored, I open the Bible app or I pray.
i’m always like that.. i didn’t know if was idolatry😭 oopsies😭
My goodness I do same, like I sleep and get up with my phone,I really thank God for today,I have realized my mistakes I pray through this message I make God a standard for my life
God and His PERFECT timing once again! God is faithful!
Wow, I never usually even comment CZcams videos... but I had to.
This video came at the perfect time and moment. God is so good.
God is so faithful and so sweet I needed this. Somebody please pray I can wake up at 6 am tomorrow and give God some intentional alone time. I'm not a morning person whatsoever but I can do all things....
Reyaunna Williams exactly what I'm planning on doing also!
Reyaunna Williams just ask for him to wake you up and believe he will do it .. and he will wake u ❤
i asked him and am not a morning person i mean nothing can wake me but when i asked him he woke me up every day in 6
Yes. I need that too. Trying to change my habits, is hard but possible.
Reyaunna Williams Girl I wasn’t either- I promise you the Lord is faithful bcus now Im up almost everyday by 5:30am headed to prayer room
3:30am then go back to sleep
@Heather Lindsey. when you said u didnt plan to make a video during your time with God in your prayer room, but he told you to make one today, im glad you obeyed. Heather this very day I've been feeling so emotional, ive been crying literally the whole day today, bcuz im so stress about transferring to a new school, and a thought of someone I was interested in keeps popping up. and all I've been wanting is to hear God's voice. I looked up scriptures to read, ive talked about it, and cried to him today about wanting to hear his voice to know what career path he wants me to go on. but I'm not going to lie lately ive been so busy, thank you so much bcuz before I was getting ready to pray to go to bed, I got a notification to this video that is titled exactly what I was crying about today. thank you heather. and God bless you. love the new hair color btw! :)
God bless you sis ! Continue to seek answers from Him. He never misleads us. Get that quiet time in
+gabriella salvodon God bless you sis. I will be praying for you to continue to seek God. The he will speak to you and guide you as only he know's how to do. As far as the person you were interested in if it is God's will for you he will reveal that to you too. No need to worry.
I will be praying that the Lord gives you strength. Yes you are young, but you were bought with a price. Be the positive light to those all around you. They may not say it, but they are watching you. This faith walk is not and will not ever be easy, but have a made up mind that no matter what you will serve the Lord. Serve him wholeheartedly surrender it all to him. Stay in your word and pray often. God is going to use you to do mighty things and to reach those around you. I am praying for you brother. Have a blessed and prosperous week.
thankyou blenderella
girl you spoke my mind!
Physically spending time with someone you can see oppose to spiritually spending time with someone you can't see takes daily discipline. It's not that you don't love God it just takes getting use to.
My heart is about to cry listening to your preaching. I need God
is that me?
is that God?
is that the Devil?
Right! We have to recognize His voice
Exactly what i needed to hear!!! Thank you Lord for your CONFIRMATION!!!!
Wow! I literally woke up out of my sleep last night and heard the voice of God. I asked Him if it was Him and He told me my questioning is why I NEED to know His voice. Today, I was going to go to sleep, but He led me to this video about knowing His voice. Everything I needed.
This video changed my life thank u Jesus for leading me to this videos 🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️
Amen
Good Job!
Nehemie Lala amen
Praise God for this I received this god has spoken to me hallelujah thank you
Thank God, for this message. Spending time with God and the Bible is the key. There is no way around it. We spend time with Him because we need HIM, His peace, His mercy, His Love and ofcourse His blessed GUIDANCE! Too many of us running on E and need His Word. We think we're doing Him a favor, but its us who needs Him.
I know I'm almost 2 years late, but the timing for stumbling across this video couldn't have come at a better time for me. Thank you so much for this message. To say you weren't planning on filming it, you spoke with such amazing assurance and flow. Glad you obeyed God's instruction to post this & I'm glad I obeyed His instruction to watch your video today. Much love and may God continue to bless you and your family 🙌🏽💞
WoW! Currently struggling with this! I've been praying in my car on the way to work and as a family with my husband and sons before bed but I know I'm missing out on my own personal time with our Redeemer. Just a month or two ago I was committing personal time to God....worshipping, praying and journaling. Asking Him for Rhema verses and having communion...just Him and I. Praise our God for leading Heather to make this video. Thank you sis for your obedience to our Lord Jesus! I needed this guidance, it was literally an answer to prayer this morning coming into work.
Lord set us on fire to desire You on all fronts. Amen!
I agree wholeheartedly on what you said about distractions and boredom, at times I let everything else overcome the times I should spend time with Him. I hear His voice a lot, then times I'm confused if it is Him talking or Satan trying to deceive because I let those distractions take place instead of worship. Thank you for this wonderful video! Very inspirational!
You are such a Biblical Theologian, Heather!!! There are SO many people who read the Bible, but they fail to study the Word of God! You better Teach!!!! This video is a beautiful blessing, Love ya!!!
I wish i heard Jesus' voice audibly. That's amazing how you heard his voice like that. I always pray for that. God bless you ,thank you for the video❤
I need to purchase a good bible 📖💜.
TheLyricallegend thanks for letting me know ! 😊.
The Life Application Bible is a good one.
E. Victoria do you know which is a good one please as there so many. Thank you and God bless x
I'd say get a NKJ one as some versions skip a few verses e.g. many don't have Matthew 17:21 etc. If you want footnotes Bp Macedo's one is fantastic
t's true. You can get to a point in your life and start to hear him. I grew up believing God does not exist. I had an Atheist background and family until I had some strange things happen to our home. Needless to say It was so strange I reached out to Christians to help. That's how bad it got around our house. There was no logical explanations for the events that occurred in that house. I had the house blessed, it worked, I accepted Christ in my life. That was 15 years ago. Now I actually hear my name called during my in between stages of sleep. I don't hear it all the time, just once and awhile. If you were to tell me 15 years ago that God can call you by name I would had said you're are crazy!
I get those gut feelings. More now then ever. Some I ignore, but later on I know I should have listened. I ignore because of my anxiety, but God is helping me to overcome it.
Thank you for explaining in so much depth.
I understand you, about your anxiety. He is faithful and give you peace :)
I was spending time with the lord this morning and I believe he lead me to your video! Glory be to God! Thank you for blessing me with this! I still have some work to do! 🙏🏿
the first 10 minutes into this video i felt the holy spirit so strong and started to cry this woman really just changed my life. lately i've been going to worship and church so numb and emotionless not understanding why my heart has been so numb and not able to connect while i'm trying so hard but watching this video just hit me so hard I trust you God through everything and in my last and my first. i no longer walk by what i see but by my faith and trust in you and my obedience to everything you instruct me to do Father God.
I need to learn the Bible and study the Bible so that I am able to use scriptures in my prayers. I hear you Lord.
I just found your channel a few minutes ago and I am already so thankful for you!! A few months ago I was wondering why they're weren't any women on CZcams who are doing exactly what you're doing on here. Then low and behold! Thank you God!
+cassandra wilson Heyy girly, i noticed that you said, you couldn't find women talking about God on CZcams, well if you're still interested, we do videos regularly about the Lord and how to walk closer with him and such :) xx
This video really spoke to me especially when you said that you were 20 years old, in college, & went out and purchased a bible and a journal. I did that EXACT same thing this year and I’m 20 years old and in college. After hearing that, I knew that God wanted me to watch this video. Thank you for blessing me ❤️
He is my all!. I have walked this way for over 25 years as a minister of the word it is vital we hear from Him. He He holds us accountable "Those of us that are teachers"..because we are leading , teaching, and can easily lead them astray if we don't hear correctly!..So A Big God Bless You!..Sister in the Lord!
Truly needed this. I've been putting off watching your videos because I keep saying i don't have time. Something told me to cancel out my Netflix and make time. I did and God truly spoke through you to me. I have been worrying so much about school. School was literally becoming my idol. And I haven't been trusting in God when it came to school. I didn't really realize that until now. I am about to go spend some time with Him. Thank the Lord for this video.
Amen
Courtney House i
Sigh! Thoroughly enjoyed this!!!! What a breath of fresh air! Feels like my mind is renewed and I'm ready to get back in the race! This what the beauty of obedience looks like. Thank u Heather!
powerful word and a confirmation. I graduated from college today and I really need to buckle down and seek him for my next steps and my future...I'm excited yet kinda scared for this new journey but need to be able to hear Him in this season. school is no longer an excuse anymore..
I just turned 30 and I feel like God is trying to tell me.Brittany this is your time to get right with me and get to know me.If not,you will run into dangerois situations.I can't afford to waste another minute being in a situation I shouldn't be in.
It's crazy.. you posted this video 2 years ago and I just finished praying to God about how I want to hear his voice and how I want to recognise his voice. This video was just there and it has opened my eyes and mind up a lot on to spend time with him and know his voice. God bless you! I needed this ❤️👏🏽
Your videos are pulling me thru . May the Most High continue to bless you and keep you !
Heather!!!!! omgoodnes....thank you for being obedient to God! I needed this so much! I gave my life to Christ about 7 years ago....and right now I am just all over the place! and I feel God pulling me and drawing me nearer to Him and to stop playing church and just get real with and spend time with Him so we can have a REAL relationship! This video was major confirmation for me! thank you so much! :)
GOD IS MY ROCK,MY HOPE ,MY SALVATION,AND MY STRENGTH!!!
I haven't slept and it's almost 6am, something in my heart said maybe God wants to talk to me that's why I am still awake, so I decided to pop into youtube to see if there was anything on my feed that God wanted to speak to me about! Thankyou Heather for this video, it is what I need to hear , Thanking God!
First of all let me start with saying how grateful I am I found your channel, I put this video in my watch later a few days ago and glad I remembered to go through them. -----------------Some quick background information; I've been planning to stay at my girlfriends house this week and im going on holiday to Kenya on Monday for a month so I've needed to go back home, 50 miles away to my doctor to get vaccination but I've been putting it off. ------------------So many things touched me from this video but the relevant one was looking at the bible my mum gave me years ago, the only one I have which has that index in the back which directs you to relevant scripture. After listening to the rest of the video I got such a yearning in my heart to quickly stop everything I'm doing and just have quiet time with the Lord. What I felt I was told is to go back home, receive my immunisation and look for that specific bible so all my future quiet times with the Lord I can have something physical to use instead of using the app on my phone because I feel like that would lead me to being distracted. -----------------
Anyways after I done all that I was planning to drive back to my girlfriends and spend as much time with her as I could before my month vacation. As I pulled into the motorway, someone cut me up and I had to swerve to avoid hitting them which made me puncture one of my tyres, luckily I was able to get the spare tyre set up but because I didn't really have the money to go to a garage and get a new tyre I decided to just stay in the area and decide what's the best thing to do. -----------------
At this point I was incredibly confused because I felt like I was doing the right thing yet this happened to me and I didn't have the money to fix it and carry on, as I was driving back I still had that yearning in my heart to get that bible so I suddenly remembered a church I went to in the area I thought I can go there and buy a bible with that index in the back. -----------------
When I rang them to find out if they're open today I found out there's a prayer meeting happening later tonight, I only asked them if I'm able to buy a bible and they said come along to the meeting and I will provide you with one. -----------------
Let me just make it clear I'm not blaming you for the things that happened to me, a long time ago a message from a pastor stuck with me that the Lord works in mysterious ways, this might have been his plan the whole time because I never would have thought about that church again if it wasn't because of this situation (I'm usually at my own place on the weekends so I go to my local church) -----------------
So anyways I know it's a long message but I believe everything happened today for a reason guided by the Holy Spirit, from me seeing your video at the time I did to me going to that church later on tonight, I'm even grateful to the Lord that the only thing that happened was just a punctured tyre and not anything more sinister. -----------------
I'm not sure what the outcome of all this will be but I will edit this comment when I'm back home.
Have a good day
P.s: I have no idea how to do line breaks on this, CZcams always collapses my paragraphs
The seeds you have sown into my heart. I give GOD all the glory. AMEN
Thank you for reaffirming that I have been dwindling away from the lord. I came to God because of the way I was handling relationships. And I made a vow to God to reset my mind and value God with my body. In that time I learned to love myself, that I am not my horrors/struggles and that I am Gods child.
I was recently tested with an old friend and the minute I decided not to spend time with him because of the temptations something inside me felt secure. I started going back to the basics on listening to messages and sermons to keep my mind set on God’s message. And most important I started having feelings in my spirit of the Lord reaching out to me through the videos I was listening to again.
So I want to thank God and you for this video. May God bless you, your ministry and your family.
Yay watching this 7 years later on the day we celebrate Jesus’s birthday. I’m blessed by this.thank you heather
Heather! Listen God asked u to make this video for me I tell u it's for me !!! I've been struggling to find time to spend with God since I recently got baptized and I'm a freshman in college so it's hard to juggle school,and work ! I thank god for u making this video Thank you soo much !may God continue bless you . Amen
have you gotten closer to God?
wow!!this is so amazing.A lot of friends nd family told me to not walk the path of faith but to stabilise myself financially nd then get on with the Lord but i chose otherwise and walked with nd in faith, yes financially im struggling and at this point when im writing to you i have no money to pay my rent or to take care of my child but one thing i have is confidence in Him and i believe He will show me directions to a stable life.I can use short cuts but i choose not to because i love nd respect my relationship with Him,He has given me His strength and wisdom to hold my head high nd to lean on His understanding nd not mine.Thank yoy Lord
The Lord today really talked to me through this video. It's amazing how he makes us come to him again. I remember some months ago being so exited, praising him, he was everything for me, my guide cause i had a really hard times when sin and worries for my health took my life. I just came to his arms, but these days i was so far like i didn't know what was happening. Those clearly feelings just flew away, i love him so smooch but i was hurting myself cause i was failing again, my prayer was so weak...And while i was thinking about this and asking him to help me, he just showed me this video in the recommendation videos of my account. So i was here having breakfast listening speaking him through your words,and it made me cry so much cause i realized how much he loves me, how much he wants to be with me and guide me in my life. Thank you so so much for this video, i'll be watching the other, but know i feel like i need to go to that room close my door, and talk to him,read his word with all my heart. God bless you and your family, kind regards from Spain.
I think it’s really cute how you and your husband both make that(thumping) noise with your mouth. Thank you for this word, it really hit home for me. Tfs
Thank you for this word! Within 10 minutes, you had me in tears! I have been praying to God about a new job and I told him to guide me and place me where he needed me and he said Oakland, CA. I live in VA. I don’t know a soul in CA, but I kept thinking this cannot be his word. This has to be my word to myself, but my gut kept signaling towards something and I am happy to hear that this signaling is a natural occurrence with the holy spirit. I came to your video because I felt like I wasn't praying right and I needed to learn how to be with God and I wasn't even expecting you to mention moving or feeling God this way. Thank you!
😊 Hello, Heather. You are a very beautiful, intelligent, and talkative young woman of God. I sat here and listened to you speak about this and I am inspired. Wow... I need to spend more time with the Lord for real. Amen. God bless you, beautiful!! 🙌
A million thank yous do not cover how much I appreciate this video! I especially love the illustration of running out of gas and ending up empty by the side of the road. It's the stubbornness of my own heart and will that refuses to get right before God, and yet if it was my car I'd be at the gas station long before empty!
You've also encouraged me to start a prayer space in my room and made me realise how important that is. It's far enough from any plug sockets so that my phone isn't within reach, and I'm going to buy cushions and a lamp and a rug to make it permanent. I've spent too many days away from the King 👑
Every single one of your videos inspires me to be more like Christ and draws me closer to Him !!! He truly speaks through you !! I'm so grateful you listen to His voice & instruction to put out these lifechanging videos !!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this message! I talk with him about everything, I don't always like the answer, but when I do as he tells me, I find joy in it. He is my everything and takes care of me in ways I never knew...Thank you Lord Jesus for everything! Have a wonderful day! :)
this is honestly the best video youve ever posted God bless you and your ministry it is truly a blessing
This stuck with me: You never know what's on the other side of your obedience... ❤
I am just grateful that I am reaching a point where I can sit down and prioritize listening to videos that will guide me on my walk with God.
Heather you are a blessing to me right now. Praise God🙏🏾
Heather, you just don't know how good, and how powerful this was to me... God bless you and your beautiful family... Thank you very much
Thank you for your Obedience to God to do this video(He must have planned it before time began...before each of our first Breaths). It is indeed a confirmation to the state of my heart since He's been showing me that I need to seek Him for the purpose He has for my Life....and a yearning I was sharing on the 21/02/16 with an older friend that I just need to know what more I need to do or what less...and right there reminded me again of how I used to sing to Him when I would have devotion in my teen years and how He loved it and would enter in my the room in the form of a gentle distinct breeze...He does enter with a song ....He does inhabit the praises of His people. I had turned my Devotion in a sophisticated meeting of straight Bible Study , information gaining etc. cutting out the serenades and waiting till I got to church to sing corporately for fear of disturbing people, lack of passion etc...Thank you.Thank God.
Woman of God!!! Thank you.
So beautiful Heather, Thank you. I love the "Praying the scriptures" point, stunning!! xx
I just got convicted within the first 1:11 ... I'm subscribing
Love this woman of God and how she shares her wisdom with us. God continue to bless your family and ministry, in Jesus name Amen.
This is definitely for me. God really knows what we need and when we need it. Thank you God
This video just blessed my ENTIRE life! God bless you!
Thank you for listening to the voice of God and making this video. This video has truly blessed me, God bless you and family!
I love you Jesus 🙌
Heather, you have no idea what this CZcams video did for me this morning. My daughter actually sent this to me and and strongly encouraged me to watch it. It hit home - that's all I can say. My life is forever changed. I thank God you listened to the voice of God and made this video. To God Be All The Glory!!!!!
I was tearing up and laughing when you said you were about to unload on your husband. Don't so many of us do that? 😘
Good jod
I love how your marriage is such an example. Thank you 😊
This was soooooo helpful. I can truly hear God speak through you. This was exactly what I needed. I was so close to giving up on Him but he came through with you. Thank you for sharing this message. ❤️
god is the best he is the one who brought us into the world he created us he made us and the world so love god.Amen!♾😇😊
Your hair is perfect!
My best friend and I just talked about hearing from God and knowing His voice! This video is right on time for my life and you posted it years ago! 😍 thank you for being obedient
Can't nobody do God like God does God you hear me?? Ohhhwee the Lord KNOWS what I need to hear and He is on the job like nobody else. Thank you for being a willing vessel for me and so many others!!
Hi Heather, just wanted you to know I've been a Christian for 40 years, and the Lord has used you to let me have a break thru this week. It was in regards to being submissive to my husband. I'm back on track with God, and am having amazing quiet times with the Lord now. Thank you for your beautiful ministry!!!!
Heather your videos are such a blessing to me and my soul. Thanks for taking the time to make them and giving us God's word.
Thank you so much Heather! I've been struggling to hear from God. Literally last night I woke up and was frustrated because I have yet to hear from God on where I should truly be residing in my life. I get frustrated now because it seems difficult to hear from God ever since issues on top of issues have come into my life. I used to run to people for answers, but now that I stopped, it has been very difficult to hear a direct answer from God. Even though I have spent time with him (staying up for hours), I guess I had missed the answer or my time with him is not enough. So I will keep trying.
Your messages has always been on time for me. God bless you and your family and your ministry. I love you!
how is everything now?
GOD is showing me a sign by leading me to this video. I need to spend more time with you LORD. Thank you for your guidance.
Ever since my husband pass away in 2016, I was basitize 2017 at the beginning of the yr. I started reading the holy bible more, my lifestyle has changed, someone else came in to my life now, and God just have me on this path of my life, he is every step of the way with me, sometimes I hear his voice, im walking with Faith.
Hi I don't know you but I am so happy I came across your video. It was very inspiring and full of grace. I sometimes look on you tube for anything worth watching that I could find and this was awesome. I admire you because I am at the same place where you are where I read the word and find time for prayer and it's funny because I also use a journal. There is always room for improvement and I'm glad I am not alone in this endeavor...God Bless you and your family!!!
beautiful spirit! (and necklace) haha! thanks for this video sister
You will have a grand great celebration with God once your student loans are paid. I was so happy when my past husband paid them off. God bless!
I clicked on this in perfect timing as I'm stepping up to our church challenge to read the bible at least 4 days a week!!! I so agree with you on making time, setting aside a time to spend time with him. I stay busy & my down time consist of various things but now I've been making every effort to journal & reading bible or just reading in general❤️ God bless Heather & your family!!
yea!!!! SOOOOOOOO EXCITED to find this channel
Wow, thank you. Well explained! So glad you listened to God and made this video!💛
I will be listening to this video over and over again. ALTHOUGH this video is 2 years old Im so thankful for you listening to God. You have helped me this morming. Thank you
The best advice ever given to me was from heather Lindsey and it was "be led by the Holy Spirit"
Whar a blessing
I thank you very much. This was helpful 😀🙏🏾
Thank you so much for this video!
😇🛡🛡🛡 THANKYOU JESUS 👑 💜
Thank God for allowing Him to use you in such a beautiful way and share all this wisdom. Thank you!
Amen Heather! God bless your obedience
Love you Heather you are appreciated
this week Ive replacing God with my studies. i made so many terrible mistakes because i ignored his voice. thank you so much for this
Oh wow! I feel so identified! I do the same things you do. The journal, asking him what should I wear! We even had a date once... And we laugh and talk together. My roommate is christian and she thinks I am crazy but it feels good to know I'm not the only one out there having dates with God. I have been praying for my husband too and in God's perfect time I know he will come. You are an inspiration to me.
This was so on time! Thank you for posting this!
God bless you Heather!
Right on point.Today during my devotion I asked Him to help me learn listen to His voice.
I have never heard it like this . I have been struggling In this area. But today I’ll take up the challenge and spend time with Jesus.
