Hi Kris , your channel is truly a blessing to me . I look forward to your videos. Thank you for your ministry. ❤🙏
Prayers goes out to the lady that said her husband is a narcissist god is on the way to you escape from yhe abuse . Provbes 3 verse 5 through 6 Trust in the Lord he shall direct your path 🙏🙏🙏.
Will it help on myself!😔 Since I've realized this covert trait in me I've been trying.. It feels so part of me.. I me my… Everyone says there's no hope for someone like me.. I need HOPE desperately!
Very timing! Thanks Kris.
This was good timing for me. Thank You. I've been struggling with a new neighbor at my apartment complex. Our paths finally crossed the other day (Wednesday evening), and I had an opportunity to give him a friendly "Hello". All I got back from him was a negative stare and silence. I've been watching him from a distance since he's been here (about a month), and because I'm a perceptive empath, I could tell that he was going to be problematic. Unfortunately, I was right. I've been upset about it since it happened. I have a demon living in the apartment right next to me, and now this demon who lives in the building nextdoor. Anyway, thanks for giving me wisdom and helping me figure out what is the right, and proper way to deal with this new demon as a Christian.🙂
Yes the best way against the narcissist is:no contact-ignore them and forgive them !!!!! I forgive my narcissist and all the mean people in my life!!!! Amen be GOD be with you all -wink from belgium !!!!!😉😉😇😇🥰🥰🙏🙏
Warning others of sin is gracious and merciful. It is up to the individual or Narcisst to choose to repent. If they fail to heed God's word and warning, they will be disciplined by the Almighty. Mic drop….end of story.
I would love a video that is literally like a role play of how a conversation w a narcissist should go!
Kris why i always attract narcissists people? My father was byproduct of narcissistic parent and so he is, my mom who was victim by my narcissistic father that made her also into a narcissistic mom, ex bf, 6friends and now a christian brethren . Why these abrasive people are so magnetized to me 😭😭😭
Thank you Kris. This video is definitely affirming that I am proceeding correctly. I appreciate the Bible verses too. The Word is a guide for life. God bless you and everyone on this channel.✝️❤️🙏🕊️🦅
Thank you so much, Kris, for this video. I really needed this.❤
Thank you!
One might ask about how God's grace fits into 2 Timothy 3:1-7
I just can't believe how relevant every book and video on this topic has been relevant in my relationship with my wife. I literally get the silent treatment for days when something needs to be addressed, even when there is nothing hostile about the conversation. I am accused of starting arguments that she clearly starts. I love her and very concern because of the positions we hold. It has been brutal for me but God keeps me strong, and I believe he is teaching me to be stronger. I learned about radical acceptance, basically asking the question who will I become if she never changes. We must all continue to Love, but stand in integrity. It has been good to hear someone else say it. When you said "back to fairy land and no acknowledgement of wrong doing", you were so accurate. Crazy how often I deal with that. I have to document and record certain things just to verify to myself that it actually happened the way I heard it. Things get so twisted to eventually blame me for everything. I have had to study so much on the narc word, which I don't even like saying. People have an extreme negative opinion about it. When you live with a love one dealing with such, trust me, I verified in more ways than one, you have to be anchored in God to survive it. I knew nothing about this topic until a counselor suggested that I study it over 10 years ago, based on what I was experiencing daily. I discovered I was very codependent at the time. Many heated arguments with wife, but I have always been the voice of reason behind getting additional help and moving forward. Help is always rejected, and there are always threats of leaving. I just stay focused on what I know God has promised for us. I am learning to let Him work out the details. Great advice on forgiveness. You are the first that I have heard take a strong biblical approach. Thank You for stating that God will fight our battles and to always seek peace.
The Lord taught me this the hard way with my mom, sisters, brother, grandpa…
This is great. It's what me and my friends did as well, though I had to encourage my friends to stand firm and not give an inch when the narc who was abusing us continued playing head-games. I and another friend were fully prepared to get the narc out of our lives though I had to battle that initial guilt/doubt about whether or not I was doing the right thing. But I knew we could not go on enabling her Star Wars addiction, and spamming it all over us or the rest of creation as if her life depended on it.
The narc dumped us – sort of, when she found she couldn't control us any more. But not exactly, because to this day, she still bashes us and tries to either sick people on us, or make them turn against us. And she is not always successful. She's gotten herself kicked off chat groups for terrible behavior, and she still doesn't admit to being the problem.
But since she's determined to force SW on me through gossip with other people, which gets back to me, fine, but she would not like what I do to her idols.
I ended up getting some SW characters that now get all the disrespect and punishment they should for being her idols. Idols were treated violently by God's people in the bible, smashed, burned, whathaveyou. And it is a good way to get any initial seriously bad feelings out harmlessly if that narc ever resurfaces again.
A broken blaster gun is a symbol of me taking my life back from her.
Perhaps instead of using “ 11:49 “true Christian” you could use “mature Christian “. I’m a true Christian but I struggle with how to deal with this person.
How does forgiveness and peace with a narc happen when you can't get away from them?
Xlnt ideas – well stated.
Most churches, pastors and Christians teach ideas contrary to your wisdom. While I value your teaching, I have no desire to join a church family as all I ever experienced when I mentioned narcissistic abuse against me was gaslighting and blame that I was responsible for all or most of the abuser's behavior and that I needed to model Christian love. I still struggle with forgiveness but I choose to see the narcissist as a pile of dumpster debris who simply needs to be permanently removed from my life.
And when the narcissist claims to be a Christian…
Thank you Kris for this teaching. I have suffered immensely at the hand of a narcissistic minister. I tried to be loving, kind and agreeable, which seems impossible when you are the abused. I had to block numbers and emails to get peace. So grateful God had me hold my mouth and put up healthy boundaries. They are parasitic freeloaders! So blessed by your podcast!
We are to forgive as God forgives us. God forgives us when we repent and come to Him and ask His forgiveness. If the narcissist doesn’t repent and then ask for forgiveness we are not obligated to forgive.
I recently come across a teaching that God does not forgive the unrepentant, and that we are not required to forgive those who are not repentant of their sins towards us. I’ve never heard this, and believe that there’s more to forgiveness than waiting on the offender to repent (By forgiving, I am releasing judgment and the demand for justice to our all-knowing, wise Heavenly Father, trusting for His will to be done while keeping my focus on His purpose for me). But I am curious what your take is on this, especially when it comes to those with narcissistic tendencies, meaning, they really aren’t repentant of their wrong-doing.
Narcs usually don’t respond well to being called out… they usually rage, calling you everything but your monkey’s uncle. Never admitting what they’ve done. If the narc lives with you, that’s a dangerous thing to do…could be.
Soooo…. Interesting ….. Very … Very … I don't have words to describe that how much I loved listening this video. God bless you more my dear Kris.
