Facts

[@maguiedossantos2925]

Being an EMPATH has made an easy target for manipulation tactics and narcissistic abuse . I've been through so much pain and abuse in my past. BUt Now I've learned to control my emotions and feelings towards others so I don't get manipulated and played in the end. Empaths should be very careful and never trust people until they've proven themselves to be trustworthy. There's a lot of people out there with bad intentions towards you so be very careful

[@beliversky]

[@leonardemiletaylor6229]

True. I've had too many one-sided relationships where I gave more than what I got. Whew! Darn. But, I also failed to allow my empathic sensibility to SAVE me from overthinking too. Whew!

[@Matoaka365]

Yes!!! 😄 Using discernment and setting boundaries is a game changer!... I used to think when I was "love bombed", it was a show of genuine affection. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Once I learned that it was a manipulative tool, I stayed away from any man going overboard when he barely knew me. Also, people would constantly ask me to do favors because they knew I would feel bad saying no. My "no" game is strong now. Lol! Once I started watching content about empaths and narcissists, and applying the tools I've learned, I've never been happier. 😊

[@beautyforashes23]

“You can’t effectively love your neighbor until you love yourself.” Very true, loving Jesus first taught me this.

[@hellothere8347]

Before I knew what an empath was I was always drained. God sent me a sign to the word empath I started doing my research on it and it’s literally everything I’ve always felt. Use to be so drained all the time. But I have a book called, “the empath survival guide” and it has taught me some things I have to create boundaries. That’s the important thing about being an empath. Every since I’ve been doing this I’ve been becoming a better person!

[@tnt3929]

@hello there yes! Finally knowing I was an empath..felt the same way. I took on everyone's issues and emotions. I will look for this book! Thanks.

[@LG-wm1nw]

Thank you. I am a recovering empath who grew up with a narcissistic mother with severe mental issues. I was abused in every way by her. Now she is in her old age, all 6 of her children have abandoned her, and I am the only one left to help her. It's tough at times, but the Lord has helped me to understand why she is the person she is, so I am learning to relate to her with more compassion and understanding. Your ministry has helped bring healing to me from past traumatic experiences. God bless you.

[@MadraBell]

This explains a whole lot of my issues. When you said “ I’m too emotionally and spiritually sensitive to put myself in that environment “ helped a lot. Got to go through to grow. It’s the fake ones with the smiles that drain me the most. 😊

[@latrice1935]

I am an empath and was born with the gifts of seeing and knowing things in advance. There are times when I feel others emotional and physical pain in my body. I always thought I was weird until my gift was explained in depth. Also, I can feel other people's energy before entering a room full of people or with just a single person.

[@Mindsetolympics]

This knowing or having others physical pain does that show up when you are in their presence?

[@latrice1935]

@@Mindsetolympics yes, sometimes.

[@LaurenDenise]

This reminds me of one of my favorite conversations in scripture, between Moses and Jethro. Exodus 18:13-23. Their conversation taught me that God loves delegation and He wants us to set boundaries.

[@leonardemiletaylor6229]

Profound! I realize how vital it is for me to guard my heart & space. This World is sick and unfortunately many are insane and are nothing more that opportunists.

[@lifeyunique]

I believe humans because of sins are sick and the reason why God said not to go by our own understanding magnifies that sickness in how we have made wrong right. The Word of God is the only way!!!! And the Word of God helps those who repent and surrender their way of living for Gods way will help people to mature the right way and have healthy relationships and marriages. God bless you all🎉

[@tashafoster9737]

I’m so glad you did this video. I just recently realized I was an empath about a year ago. I would even take on other people’s stress; it was very exhausting and caused me to be manipulated a lot. I’m so glad God has given me wisdom with this now. You’re such a blessing to me and my uncle in spirit.

[@sandygarrett4969]

I’m so sensitive I started crying when you started explaining how empaths feel other peoples losses…I have to isolate myself a lot to recuperate my energy. And I’m a massage therapist. Ha ha go figure. I love helping people in pain in my massage room and I can’t take any more emotional pain otherwise, I get too drained and feel pain myself. Grounding yourself is a good way to recuperate your energy. Sleep is my best friend.

[@_VirgoFlower]

I was great at boundaries and balance when I was in my teens and young adulthood, but after being in church and getting married and being told things I did was being selfish and I needed deliverance, I allowed my balance and boundaries to be pushed back. Now after 25 years and getting out of the church and divorcing, I am now allowing myself to put these back in place. I took a lot of bull though the years. 😂 Now I'm getting better and better😊.

I'm an empath for sure! Never knew why I took on others emotions, physical ailments etc. Ever since I was a child. Just now knowing what this is. It is good being an empath..but it can be draining and stressful as well. Especially since I am surrounded by narcissistic family, friends and co-workers.

[@quamirah5410]

As an empath we have the gift of transference where we feel them and allow them to feel us. This is what draws people to us, to our welcoming and compassionate spirit. So decernment is key in filtering this out. I learned the hard way that once you begin to not feel like yourself you are not only overloaded but now you've allowed that transference to work both ways and begin to become that which is negative in your environment. Trust your instincts, learn to say no, learn to be ok with that, set barriers, and set time for yourself away from everything and everyone else.🙏

[@lizashone1976]

Good point, when you don't feel like yourself.

[@sheberry8597]

My kindness had to be taken as a weakness for me to gather the strength to set boundaries. No one taught me boundaries so now I teach my children.

[@sonyaford8107]

Whoo, I've experienced this more than I'd like to admit. I hate disappointing people in my life, and I've experienced friendships that required too much energy and when I tried to set boundaries, it wasn't accepted and those friendships had to end. In my 50's now, I just don't have that type of energy to keep everyone happy when I'm trying to keep myself emotionally strong to live in this world with all of its challenges. Some women will deplete you, especially single women, who demand too much. I had a friendship once where I had to say 'no' due to my job responsibilities, and was cussed out. Never again. I also stopped thinking I wasn't being a good Christian for letting relationships go. My health and sanity come first.

[@alejandraquintana692]

Being in negative energies and an empath is one of the worst things. It affects you more than you can imagine. And then that energy goes inside you and hurts you

[@beauti2thecore]

This is so true, as a child I had a really bad attitude and so many emotions. It’s not until I was in my 20s that I realized I was an empath. Now I’m so much better and I know how to recognize someone else’s emotions vs my own

[@SanctifiedLady]

Lately as an Empath….living in my feminine…I’ve been very vulnerable and easily triggered having to practice grounding techniques to rebalance my self However, I pay close attention to negative, manipulative words and behaviors and flow away from it…I don’t change me, I just flow away from what disturbs my positive sweet energy

[@missstarrynight7736]

I believe being "empath" (not just empathic person), is same as toxic as being "narcissist". There are two sides of the same coin. "Empath" is oftentimes conditioned as a child to real really fast to "read" their caregivers moods to avoid their rage/anger/ disapproval. I was raised by narcissists and I was forced to believe in "black and white" world. I was forced to believe that I must empathize with everyone else, yet I should no expect others to empathize with me, because I don't deserve it. Don't get me wrong, I love my family... because it's my deliberate choice of wishing them well and taking care of them. But I don't "feel for them" anymore, when they want me to support them emotionally at my own expense. I believe there is a third option - being "normal" in a biblical sense. And that is - just judgement and kindness. Now, before I empathize with someone, I rather express sympathy and compassion than dropping everything to "save them". If they want my help, they may ask for it and mostly - they should ask Jesus. I also agree that dangerous people use emotional, unhealthy empathy to manipulate others. Very good sermon!

[@sherrittajoyner6506]

Yes energy is important im always feeling things immediately & know when certain ppl aren’t for you, please trust your spirit, I don’t horror movies, it sticks to me & it’s hard to shake, I was taught not to watch those type of movies it will enter your spirit

[@Blsd1]

Me too I get to know immediately they’re not for me. I can’t watch horror movies my spirit can’t allow me

[@slimnaz00]

So true when I’m emotionally overloaded I detach myself and spend time to give myself therapy, praying doing activities I like, getting prayer support from close family and sharing my burden but most important I tend to spend time in praising God. Praise will fill a heart full of any negative feelings and a mind with any negative thoughts! Glory be to God. When I set boundaries I let them know I need time for myself and with God, I then check out completely but only let them know I’m available for important things only! The best friend to setting boundaries is to word, “NO”

[@pearlwilliams899]

So glad I tuned into this broadcast. At 71 , a Christian, and recovering alcoholic 13 years. I am only just becoming aware that I am an Empath. Thankyou Bishop

[@lifeyunique]

Also not feeling connected to some people; whether family or not, is not a miserable existence because just like Joseph who was sold into Egypt by his brothers and later became second to the king of Egypt, everyone is not here to love us, but their lack of love doesn't stop God's abundant favor and blessings of prosperity in our lives. And remember the Bible says that things are not always as they seem.....

[@LolitaStClair]

Hello Pastor and First Lady Blakes Jr. Hello Everyone. Be Blessed.

[@luanna376]

Empaths have the ability to walk in the "gift of discerning spirits"...!!! Ex: I walk in a jewelry store with an associate... I feel a strong surge of discomfit towards this associate while she is looking at jewelry via the clerk... She felt my discomfort and said: Ok, let's go... That discomfort left me... What was happening? The associate had a desire to Steal... She picked up on my "discerning" her intention... She decided not to continue with her intention... She was entertaining the devil of robbery and overcame it because God had me with her that day... 1 Corinthians 12:10... PS: WE ARE BORN WITH DISCERNMENT...GOD CAN HELP US IF WE INCLUDE HIM IN ALL WE DO💜✝️💜✝️💜

[@user-hd6vy7dn7m]

Yes but it’s overwhelming sometimes

[@Matoaka365]

This was a great breakdown of the characteristics of an empath. I only learned this term a few years ago and I said, "Wow there are others?" Lol! I always referred to myself as an alien since I was younger, because of my unique capacity to love purely. I refer to everyone else as humans. Lol! My mom will ask me where I'm at. I'll say, "Im at the grocery store with the humans." 😂 I'd say one of the other downfalls of being an empath, which is rather sad. We rarely experience love the way we give it. Everyone wants their love reciprocated, but most people don't love to the capacity we do. Even when it would be enough for someone else. It's not enough for us because it's far less than what we give. I don't stand people up or not call when I say I'm going to. Most people think these are small things but to an empath these are egregious. We always wind up giving more, being more, loving more, caring more. It's very unfulfilling and isolating. You begin to feel like an alien whose love language must exist on a planet other than earth. Lol! I'm very statuesque, well dressed and receive a lot of attention from men. So people CONSTANTLY ask me why I'm single. Anybody can be with any ole body. I decided I'd rather be alone than to be unfulfilled in love and settle. God's love is overflowing and THAT is fulfilling. God did not create me like this for Him not to create my equal. So I wait on Him to send me an equally yoked man. And in the meantime I DO NOT settle.

[@angelapeavy5407]

OMG mataoka365! Yes, yes and yes. I expect everyone to love me to the same depth that I love. I say that human love has gaps, holes, fizzures and cracks, while God's love is whole, perfect, complete and comprehensive.

I've been in many toxic relationships and groups of people that have left me feeling tired and anxious and not understanding why, but now I get it. The problem of feeling drained and anxious was I was in the midst of evil people and my light was being drained by their toxic spirits. This is a huge clue psychically to alert us empaths to find the escape that God has given and make an exit. We still can love people but we can't help everyone, this is why need to give it to God, because God loves us too and because of God we love ourselves, so let go and let God!!!!

[@thomascineholmes3367]

[@luvmeeshpodcast]

You talk about Devine Feminine and empath and such unlike other pastors thanks 🫶🏽♥️

[@nyashakurasha7699]

Proud of you too Paps. You deserve respect.

[@ritahemmerly4224]

Very often the negative energy from a group is a trauma response from your upbringing. Scapegoated or black sheep are often empaths in a toxic family of origin it is a survival response. Maybe you could address how to deal with aging parents, and not just say unconditional love, but they are your parents, you owe your life to them. This is only guilt on an already well burning fire that continues to burn the highly sensitive person, they already have there own guilt they carry and very often it is a lifetime of overgiving to try keeping peace in the family. Boundaries are NOT selfish!

AMEN, AMEN, AMEN, AMEN, AMEN and AMEN Bishop R.C Blakes!! This message is SOOOO timely and right on!!

[@stylist62]

Thank you Bishop, I need healing I’m exhausted, I am left so wounded from giving doing serving giving, time for me to receive, it’s hard when someone is in need, they don’t appreciate you, leave you with nothing🙏🥰😢emotional overload, traumatized , some fight you when you try to say enough. Set boundaries protecting myself, when people keep pushing your boundaries, it’s just easier to give in Learned recently, Guard your heart for it’s a wellspring of life Learning boundaries 🙏🥰it got me abused saying no, yes we feel spiritual warefare big time, it does so true, knew this, never met anyone who understands this.🙏🥰 Focus on Jesus not the storm, renew my mind Jesus 🙏🥰trying to learn loving me

[@CBtalks8554]

I would not be able to sleep for days and would get so exhausted overwhelmed and neglected myself to the point of being vexed. But ñow I choose to sèt boundaries and if people can't accept that I'm good with that. The freedom this has bought me helps me to walk in Peace pray for people I usually tell them now to leave me a message or text me guarding my heart and protecting what comes into my ears. ❤Halleujah.

[@SanctifiedLady]

I wasn’t expecting the pastor to use Gods name like this… 😅 excellent content in deed! Thank you Pastor. 💜🙏🏽✝️

[@MarshaSneadWilliams]

I know hearing this today has really made a difference. I needed understand

[@turner2952]

I can really understand this. I have been taking care of people my whole life, and God has always provided for me. God knows our hearts and our intentions. Some people take our kindness for weakness, but if those people are just trying to take advantage of us, God will fix it ("we meant it for good, but they meant it for evil"). I always remember Matthew 25:31-46 and try to live that as much as possible. Sometimes I think I'm a magnet for needy people and that they can sense my generous spirit. After awhile, it just gets really exhausting. I find that I'm needing more and more alone time (with God). Even Jesus needed time alone with the Father when he was teaching and healing people. Thank you so much, Pastor Blakes, for just knowing and understanding the things we go through. God bless you, your beautiful family and your ministry! You always deliver a Word in due season.

[@mariasewell3825]

You feel dream when you take on peoples situations and problems. It just goes right through you and you have to walk away.

[@libby568]

What

[@s.p.5213]

I would've really liked to hear how to handle these things being an empath... Ppl say it's a blessing but it is hella draining and something I wish I could turn OFF. Being an empath has caused me to change careers, has caused me to withdraw, cuz of emotional overload. The only techniques I've been able to practice is to tell myself in the moment when I'm hearing someone else's bad news is "Detach.... Their issue is NOT your issue Phia"..... I also imagine a white light around me that serves as a boundary while silently coaching myself not to allow the feelings of their situation attach to me.

[@esthersaldana9772]

WOW! You clarified why I have difficulty processing my own emotions. I have noticed that but never realized it’s part of being an Empath. I almost stayed married to a Narcissist but found that I would continue allowing him to destroy my health because that had already started to happen. Praise God I divorced and living a full life in Jesus now. Healing emotionally has taken years but it’s happening.

[@lifeyunique]

I'm looking forward to my Narcissist husband divorcing me like never before. This was our second go at marriage because he wants to continue to lie and have sexual relationships with women while pretending they are friends, which I don't like either. This man almost died before we got married and I was there to take care of him and called the EMS. This time around I thought the holy spirit was in his heart because he said that he was sorry for what he did, although he's still not 💯 well, he's not changed and has been caught in another lie and again he refuses to take full accountant for his actions. I'm stronger this time and grateful to God to be able to stand with Jesus against the enemy Satan that this man allows to use him because he's in sin. I pray that this man be made to be humbled so that he will know the power of God and stop playing with God Yahweh in Jesus Holy name amen. Keep your eyes on God like Daniel in the lion's den. God said we are going to have spiritual warfare, keep putting on your full armor with the Living Words of God the battle is already won, if you cry, cry out for the victory stop crying for defeat, hallelujah and glory to the most high one and only God of all creation Jehovah, Yahweh, Elohim, Elshadi, Abba. Glory!!!!🎉🎉

[@kathleenwharton2139]

This is just Over-Compassion. God Gave us Survival Instincts for a reason! To the degree they Can..EveryOne needs to be responsible for their own Crap. 😊❤

[@CBtalks8554]

So absolutely True that was me and I am now Ŕecoverying and setting boundaries and starting to feel peaceful and still walk in my Purpose and fulfill the call of God on my life.

[@JuzzMe-xu4mu]

Hi Pastor! I'm an empath myself and it is a blessing and a curse. But knowing what I am has helped me understand my emotions. I had to stop the video when you were ralking about that movie the Exorcist because I feel the same way about it! I don't even like to see a picture of it on the internet lol My poor mother saw it in the movie theater when it first came out and she was traumatized. She doesn't like watching horror movies ever since.

[@rochelledenise3426]

Excellent, excellent, validating information here. As an empath I feel so misunderstood and am always worried I’m upsetting people when I set a boundary and take care of myself. I’ve been told I’m stoic, guarded…things like this from people that don’t understand empaths. I’m doing my healing work now and setting boundaries, trusting my intuition, and not worrying about what people think. It’s not easy.

[@beautyshines2124]

I learned to put boundaries esp. if I see or discerned that other people taking advantage of my being empathic. Prayer is my best protection against negative energy of some people and places.

[@nomadqueen1111]

Thank you for covering this topic, RC. 🙏🏾 As an empath, I'm constantly learning more and more about myself and my superpowers as I grow older. There are different types of empathy: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Most people are only familiar with one type. Llewellyn's Little Book of Empathy is only one resource that has helped me learn more about how to maneuver life as an empathic person. I highly recommend it.

[@dianawelles1726]

Thank you I will find that book. This has been probably the best video I have listened to ever and I listen a lot. This one hit home every word was important and helpful. Thank you RC. One day I will vacation with your church as my destination point. That's the plan :-) thank you so much

[@dianawelles1726]

This has been so accurate today. No mistake I found it

[@dianawelles1726]

As yourself. Dang

[@msrochellaqueen]

Blessings to you man of God I took a stand before I heard this teaching And you’ve confirmed it it’s definitely the Holy Spirit is speaking through you to me.

[@vannakcheth6171]

This is spot on!! 💯🎯 Thank you!! I'm highly intuitive, empath and clairvoyant.
