look its very understandable if someone gets outraged over the horrible genocide which the catholic roman church did on the indigenous people! however *******Jesus Christ never commited even one sin. Also look at the 10 Commandments. One says "ye shall not kill!" and *******Jesus Christ =Saviour, said that whosever hates their fellow human Brother is a murderer and does Not have *******GOD-The Maker of ALL Life, in them, since HE is Love+Justice unified. He said anyone who is like that is of their father the devil who is a lier and a murderer from onset. Please i beg, DO make a clear Divide between our Lord+wonderfull Saviourgod *******Jesus Christ and Re Lie gion. He did not die so people would found a new Re lie gion, but so we can ALL have Life in Abundance and be reconciled with *******God The Maker of ALL Life, bc all have sinned at least once against His Commands, and therefore fallen short in His Eyes, so He came as Human to give His sinless Life as Attonement, so whosoever Trust in HIS Greatest Act of unddeserved Mercy and +in HIS Leadership in Life, will be free from slavery of sin, have forgivness for their past sins, be free from works of law, and be reconciled with *******GodTheMakerOfALLLife, The one and only living and ALLmighty God. And from then one live freely through His Spirit of Truth and Mercy and in HIS Peace which superseeds ALL Things. Made new no longer walking in the Flesh doing the Works of the Flesh, but being healed by Him, each Day more and more and perfected through Him, not by anything we could ever do, because without His Lead we are lost and hopeless. He is all we need, just a Child needs a good Father. Not Institutions, outward Re Liegiosity or relying on our own puffed up faulty Knowledge, Visdom or men- made often enslaving ideologies. Trully as His living Word says: Men have ruled over fellow Humans, to their Detriment. We are all made uniquelly and wonderfully from The Maker of ALL Life. Its up to our own free Will to finally allow Him to love us for HE does not want even one 2 perish. Listen fellow Human Brother and Sister: A indigenous Men once said, i Love Christ, but not the Christians. Thats ok, you must not have contact with anyone ye do not want to have contact with. Its your Birthright to say no, and coexist in Peace. However if you trully Love The Maker of ALL Life then you surelly want a unique and personal Relationship with your "Father"-The one who made you and the one who saves and liberates. For He is the Way, the Truth and the Life everlasting. If want.....

[@householdlogistics]

So true. They are to be pitied actually for the deception they are under. Unfortunately, there are denominations within the Church that have delivered a false grace and false forgiveness doctrine, which has instead enabled and stroked egos and made repentance of little active value. Man-made teachings around these very things have crept in and made a good number of Christian marriages and related family dynamics end up being caught up in practicing unhealthy bondages and even idolatry in how they are lived out. 'Thy Kingdom come' requires transformations to occur within the actual Christian family home. We need to pray vehemently for repentant revival, particularly amongst those positioned as household spiritual leaders. Implementing 2 Chronicles 7:14 literally will aid changing families and how the gospel of Christ is lived out within them. Plus, it will in turn ripple out to aid changing communities & nations and we will as a Church be all so much more better ready for Christ's return.

All except Jesus Christ 🙏♥️🕊️ who gave HIS sinless Life so All could be saved who trust in Him, His Leadership in Life and into what He did for us the Greatest Act of undeserved Mercy. That He gave His Life lowered Himself to come as Human and endure the Wages for our Sin which is Death and Condemnation. He was pierced through for our All our Iniquities for all have sinned at least 1x in Life . . Please speak to Him as you would to a Friend and surrender to Him, He will never deny a sincere or desperate Heart. It's never been about outward re lie giosity or self righteousness it's about being reconciled with God and having a unique personal Relationship with Lord AND Saviour Jesus Christ who loves us like a Good and Just Father would love His Children, but so much more though because He has All Power and is truly, good and Faithfull. He is The Way, the Truth and Life. Trust HIM and His Lead and What He did 4 You and His Word. He is alive, He is real and He can never let you down. Much Love ❣️ fellow Human.

[@SavedByJesusHeimatLiebe]

@@simionenaclably9280 and one more Thing, healthy Boundaries are good and necessary in Life and the right to say No, Thank You and live in Peaceful Coexistence but not necessarily Contact is a Birthright and not Hate. If something does not feel good for me I have a right to walk away. Noone is entitled to a another Human Being, their Time or Resources, or can or should force another Human into contact or anything they do not want ....do not do to someone which ye would not want to be done to you. Whosoever hates their Brother has no Love or God in them for God is Love, however Love does not do anything evil to their fellow Humans like lie, steal or brake their Marriage or Abuse emotionally or physically or spiritually. Forgiveness and Reconciliation does not mean Contact especially not forced or out of Obligation. I can fully forgive someone and in my Heart "give them to the Lord"-for His Will should be done and pray 🙏 for them and wish them the Best, but I am not responsible nor I want to be for changing them. Grown ups are Responsible for their Deeds, Choices and their Life and how they treat others. I can harbour no Grudge, wishing only Happiness and that they too meet the Lord, but I am free to not have contact with them. This is my Birthright as a Free Human set Free by Jesus Christ and wanting to live and abide in His Peace 🕊️

John 14:27 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

But take heart; I have overcome the world.” Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Ephesians 2:17 And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near.

The Empaths took that pain and became more compassionate, not wanting others to suffer the same fate they did. while the narcissists got angry and decided to take their anger out on the world. Vowing to put themselves first. Empaths were strong enough not to let the trauma destroy their goodness. while narcissists were weak and let the trauma overcome them. -Maria Consiglio

I was recently betrayed by my best friend. She disrespected me on so many levels that it hurt so badly and insulted me in a way that I could no longer turn a blind eye to her behavior. I’ve always been there for her in her chaos and time of need, but after losing both of my parents in the space of a year and a half her betrayal came at a time where it really woke me up. I’ve gone no contact, because I’m trying to let go of my anger and every day I pray for Grace, peace, healing and forgiveness. I still love her, but without her seeing that her behavior was totally unacceptable and her apologizing for how she has acted, I see no way to move forward. By doing what she did, I no longer trust her. I believe this all happened because I need to let things go. It hurts and it’s not easy to move on, but I’m not the type to let disrespect go on. I have too much self respect and self worth and I know God put this in my way because it was necessary. Sending up love and prayers for everyone dealing with hurtful relationships. God is your strength through the storm and he will let you know when you’ve done everything you could to make a relationship work. ❤❤

There’s an epidemic of children completely cutting off their parents and not allowing them to see their grandchildren. They use therapeutic terms like toxic and barriers to justify dishonoring their parents and breaking their parents’ hearts.

[@nightnurse7777]

This sounds like something a narcissist would say. 1Co 5:11 KJV But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 2Ti 3:1-5 KJV 1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. WITH SUCH A ONE NO NOT TO EAT. FROM SUCH TURN AWAY.

[@JesusChristisLordH]

I agree, other professionals have stated that there is an epidemic of estranged adult children/parents when the parents have not been abusive. The world tells others that it is okay to blame parents, etc instead of going to God for healing. Word of God says in these days love grows cold and sin increases. We give God our children and grandchildren and refuse to enable their sin against us. If this means they cannot be in our lives, it is difficult because the world says family is everything. Jesus said not to love even family more than Him. We love them by giving them to His care. Trusting that God still has plans for me even if I cut off a toxic parent, or if I have to cut off a toxic adult child. Sin reigns in the church because narcissism is applauded and enables in these Days of Noah. Stay close to Jesus... Word of God heals!

[@JesusChristisLordH]

@@nightnurse7777 She was stating facts... just as there are many adult children who have toxic parents that they turn away from, many parents have narcissistic adult children who abuse them or cut them off with no reasons. It goes both ways and the pain is awful for the person who can feel it. I agree with the Bible verses you posted, and the church in general encourages enabling and has no clue about abuse. God hates abuse. The church has taught believers to enable abuse... keep praying for them, etc., Now the church is full of self-worshipping narcissists who are coddles in their abuses because they give money to the church for example. We are told to discern the fruit and if someone claims Christ's Name but walk according to the flesh with no sign over time of abiding in Word, Truth that transforms and sanctifies us...they show they want their own way not God's. Word says not to enable sinners, and if we do then we are agreeing that their love of darkness is okay. So thank you for these verses, all through the Bible God says don't keep company with hypocrites who claim Jesus but do not make any effort to obey Him. Thank you for posting these. Please remember parents can be narcs, but so can adult children.

I was a Christian charismatic minister, together with my wife we serve the Church. In the spring of 2021 I went to a therapy of co-dependence, due to the fact that my wife was drinking too much, our children abandoned the faith, and I had no clue what to do with all that mess. Sadly, I had to seek help outside of the christian circles, because nobody in the Church seemed to understand the situation I'm in. Anyway, I obtained the help I needed, my sound mind has been restored, I gave up on trying to fix my wife and my life definitely improved.

I am now requiring him to uphold our marriage by repenting, turning away from the alcoholism, get into rehab/therapy to support him in his sobriety. The ball is in his court.

All my life I've watched abused women stay with a husband who makes a good living. It's hard to move into a little duplex with no credit cards after years of shopping and "security".

Ephesians 4; verse 2, 3 . Always be humble and gentle , be patient with each other, making allowance for each others faults , because of your Love , make every effort to keep yourselves United in the spirit , binding yourselves together with peace. This is called the ideal couple , The true follower of Christ. May the Holy spirit continue to empower you and bless you Apostle Kriss Reese. May the glittering light of Heaven surround you well. Hallelujah Amen.

This was so eye opening for me. Now I need the strength to proceed forward. I thank God for you, I’ve been learning a lot from you these last few weeks.

[@frangordon9215]

Thank you! It’s so sad when that someone is a close member of your family.

[@Naiaworship]

This is exactly right. The Word of God to me was 'My power works best in weakness'. I had been trying too hard, being too strong, trying to save him. So God had me leave the house, as much to protect me as to have access to him.

[@terrimcnutt7968]

I've been listening to this channel for the past week or so. I was "down' about things yesterday but just decided that to let God have things and not to do anything rash Just this morning I noticed my husband husband did 2 things that were so disrespectful. I didnt say anything back. But I made a mental note of it. I've got for the day so I won't be talked to again like that ...until tonight. So tired of it really

It's very wrong for me to give up on anyone, especially when looking at myself. I'm 66, and I know that God has never given up on me.

I had to walk away from my BF because she only hung around me when she wanted to and never was there when I needed her. She took advantage of me and I’m a much happier person now since I said goodbye to her 3 months ago. She was toxic and god was telling me to let her go.

thank you. part 2 is me right now with my family. unfortunately i am in my dad's house because i can't afford to move out on my own here in new york and he is just a mean, cruel, narcissistic person, and i am constantly on the defense. i find myself turning into someone i don't want to be just to protect myself when i am dealing with his mood swings, and i leave and cry to God to help me through, until another day goes by and I'm still in defense mode. I just pray I am able to separate myself from him for good very soon and learn how to find peace even without my family.

[@didiventer8948]

I struggled for years with the question: What weighs the heaviest. My happiness or my sadness, as my husband cares for me financially. He earns very well.Sometimes he will look after me better than himself. Then I remember the yelling and cursing at me in front of the workers. Also I m not allowed to go and see a dr as its too expensive. I also cant walk in my house because of so called recycling . Thank you so much.

[@NTSHBV13579]

If you mean he spend money on you for clothes, makeup, jewelry, etc. But refuse to let you go to doctors. Your husband doesn't care about you. He invest in your appearance because it strokes his ego that he has a good looking wife. It has nothing to do with you. Narcissists are that wicked. He refuses to let u go to doctors because other people can't see what is inside of you and they won't compliment and comment on that. So he doesn't see a use to spend money on you in that. So so sad, but true.

[@DNPMSW]

As a man in toxic relationship with his spouse this was good

[@SierraUpgradedSelf]

Praise God. Only things he can fix. I believe our time is up but my time is not his time. I KNOW one thing, I was given strength today. Spirit told me walk by faith and not fear. Whatever happens next, God is right here with me. I am grateful for this relationship as I have been already given beauty for my ashes. This fight is the Lords, not mine.

[@oceanelf2512]

I and my friends set boundaries for this person, and she dumped us. But though we are still dealing with our emotions, we are definitely better off without her. I realize now that I should've set boundaries with her right away. Long story as to why I didn't. But I also didn't know she was a toxic person at first. I thought she was a victim of a toxic online environment. Turns out that was just a facade.

[@lawrence1318]

Start serving your Father in heaven by obeying your husband in all things, as the scripture says.

[@householdlogistics]

Scripture states we are to have no other gods. It also says to not commit idolatry. Marriage nor a spouse must ever become an idol of worship either, no not ever. It also clearly states we are equally to submit to each other. There numerous instructions TO HUSBANDS about loving and serving their families and households with the model of Christ Himself setting the standard and pattern required as to how that serving and loving is to daily manifest cloaked in humility and self-control versus being driven by ego and arrogance. There is a vast difference between submission as GOD determines it to be exercised, and the sadly too often preached, very man-made and self-serving deceptive focus on 'obedience' to a human male household member which too often only implements enslavement and bondage & abuse of women and children. A godly woman serves and honours GOD first always. She is answerable to GOD only also. A Christ following husband should actively be doing the very same and remembering he is NOT God's equal ever. In Christ's gospel ALL are equal. Half truths preached from pulpits which keep male egos stroked and served will never help 'thy kingdom come on Earth as in Heaven' at all. Scripture is to be read and understood in entirety, not served up in small, selective tidbits.

[@lawrence1318]

@@householdlogistics No this is incorrect for its being incomplete. The bible says that a wife is to submit to her husband even if he is disobedient to the word. It also says she is to submit to her husband as unto Christ. You are of course correct in asserting that a husband is to love his wife as himself and put her before himself. But if he doesn't, she is still to submit to him. This is the cross she bears.

This is all about boundaries. You’re always gonna come in contact with people that are abusive confrontational and opinionated. I feel you have to put up boundaries for people that are not making sense and are abusive but there’s abuse in different ways calling names pushing that’s abusive, but it’s abusive for people to just talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk. That’s abusive too when they don’t let the other person say anything to me, the boundaries need to be outlined in my case I will let them go on the phone if they talk and I can’t say anything only have a short conversation with people that talk too much and disrespect the other person opinion
