Silence after being insulted is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of inner strength. When you remain silent, you maintain control of your emotions and do not let others control you. Reacting immediately often leads to regret and unnecessary conflict. Controlling your emotions and responding with purpose shows maturity and self-respect. Focus on what is important, do not let the insult derail your goals and values. Self-respect is your true strength.
Im 48 and I am avoiding people cause I found out at this age peace is my priority I know that I am not alone because GOD is with me I just want to say thank you 🙏 for letting me know that I’m not the only one that needs there peace
I just want heartfelt conscious communication. My yoga teacher screamed at me, I walked away. I later wrote a letter that was thrown at me. This was 6 months ago. He then left for 6 months and now he back in our small fishing village here in Mexico, teaching yoga at our community center. He told me I was no longer welcome 6 months ago. I 2:59 2:59 greeted him warmly when I saw him and his expression spewed anger as he quickly walked away.
I am here too at 48. I have many disrespect me, and I'm often taken advantage of. I'm learning to control my hurt feelings and pain. I want to have self worth while being a giving person at the same time
Im 70 yo baby of an abusive family and was bullied in schools and at home, and on jobs, too. Always treated mean people nice, but was never respected by anyone. It is still happening now, sadly. i feel guilty all my life, when i stood up for myself. I have had terrible rage inside though. And blew a gasket many times. I try to always do good to others, but they often dont respect me at all. It hurts so much to always turn the other cheek, and do as Christ said, and doing good to the people who do not respect me.
Jesús will reward you. I have had many similar experiences. Have faith that one day He will wipe away every tear. "Remember, the world hated me first." Jesús Christ
Always know that in your silence and not retaliating to all those disrespects, God is always on your side and loves you more than you can even imagine. He sees all we go through and will avenge us in due time. Always remember that christ also went through disrespect from the very people he came to redeem. Let this encourage you and know he feels all your pain. 🫂 Stay blessed.
@garyma... It sounds as if you NEVER really respected yourself first. I had to learn that lesson which turned it all around (i.e. the 'disrespectors' disappeared over time...until I clearly awoke to the connection). I changed my focus.... As I grew in conscious self-respect/ internalized self-love, self-esteem, to this degree, the conflicts lessened & lessened until I noticed this finally happening. Funny, I too am a 70 yo who is the "baby" of my family. And, I lived through similar dynamics--and locked myself into a 'victim mode'. But, I held the key in my own mind and heart and hand all the while. And, finally 'got it', opened that door in my heart & released all the pain & anguish. At this age I can fully claim self love and that is tremendous inner strength, for which I have immense awe & gratitude for such Grace. If it happened to one-- moi-- it can happen to YOU! ✌🙌 P.S.Contemplation, Meditation, Prayer were game changers. And, coming upon the work (books, website) of Alice Miller was a great gift that arrived when I was fully ready to let go of the Victim & take full responsibility for my own welfare. All the best for the rest, Gary!
Did Jesus not speak on the cross and say " Father forgive them for they know not what they do?" This is said to prompt our thoughts and prayers on the gift of forgiveness ☺️✨
Good morning and thank you. I've been disrespected the past two weeks by a group of women at a club intended for fellowship. This popped up this morning on my feed as I have decided to leave this group. I haven't said anything to them I've just remained quiet and quietly extracted myself.
Well done! The fruits of the spirit must be present in those we surround ourselves with. Just walk away and wish them well. It has nothing to do with you, They are broken and insecure inside.. maybe even jealous of you…its happened to me all my life.. God says to pray for your enemies and that blessing you send out for them will come back to you! You handled it perfectly!God Bless You Sweetheart!
Following forgiveness there can be establishment of justice to protect the future well being of others. Pray first for we are not to go beyond the wishes of the Lord in establishing justice. God delights in justice, and justice belongs to him. Pastor Tim Keller R.I.P of the Redeemer church prepared a wonderful book called Forgiveness. Justice is part of this book. To the Lord be the Glory ✨
I disagree, you could put them in there place without throwing a tantrum, show me in the bible where Jesus never did that, to remain silent allows for the purp to stigmatize you, thus hindering your preaching of the gospel,Titus 2:15" These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.” Titus 2:15, it amazes me how Christians put personal opinion above scripture, grow a spine brother!
@bullheadedoldtimer1256 you may disagree but I did what is right for me. And since this happened a month ago once I commented this I am with a better group of people and I have in this short time been blessed by them financially, emotionally, in prayer and in guidance and fellowship. I refused to put those other people in their place because I've done that so much in my life! I'm 46 years old there comes a time when this things become exhausting and I chose my own peace. You tell me to grow a spine sir with all due respect you don't know how me at all. You know nothing about what I've been through

WOW I LOVE THIS..A PASTOR DISRESPECT me in front of all my children and grandchildren after church one Sunday morning. I didn't change her a word. She came back to me 2 Sundays after and apologized. She said she felt so low, couldn't believe none of my kids responded to her either. She said this tells how I raised them. She testified, if it was her daughter she would curse me to the car and even after I left. Just a short version of what happened. I'm glad I did what I did. Hearing this give strength.
@Lightningbug122 I'VE BEEN READING MY BIBLE FOR GENESIS TO REVELATION SINCE 10 YEARS OLD STARTED TEACHING SUNDAY SCHOOL SINCE 12 YEARS OLD AND UNTIL NOW I NEVER STOP, AND I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT ANYWHERE IN THE BIBLE. IF YOU ARE REFERRING TO PAUL'S LETTERS WOMEN WERE CAUSING SOME CONFUSION IN THE CHURCH, SO PAUL INSTRUCTED THEM TO WAIT UNTIL THEY GET HOME THEY ASKED THEIR HUSBAND. Women was also a vital part in Paul's ministry.

I went to an old friends funeral, was told by an old peer that always trated me poorly in high school and beyond But when she said no one wants you here Normally I would have lashed out. But I simply got in my car and left. What a feeling of peace came over me. I'm so proud of myself. It works
I've been in a similar situation. It wasn't by words but by looks (by 2 people,) even though the sister of the person who passed hugged me and thanked me for coming, and the 2 people's husbands hugged me and said it was nice to see me. Their adult kids were very polite, they sat at the table with me when we sat down to eat we all had a lovely conversation and hugged me at the end. With the rude person who approached you I would have smiled and stayed where I was, but thats just me.
@MelissaTierson sorry for your loss and I'm glad you got peace. When it comes to funerals, noone should be telling anyone who can attend. It's just classless and outs the selfish for sure. Some people can't let others have a moment, it has to be about them. She showed her colors and you shone. Looks like we are all not alone as it sometimes feels, good to read everyone's comme ts here. What a beautiful group of people.
If you keep running into this person, you should address this behaviour. You could have stayed if you wanted to, especially if the family had no issues with you being there. If ypu are a Christian, pray and ask the Lord to give you the words for any encounter. He will and the abuse will stop.
working in customer service has been the hardest test. I went from being in a office to on the phones. I keep scriptures posted all around my computer. I place a really ( mean, disrespectful, angry, yelling,) person on hold and I even pray. Its been the hardest thing to learn how to not to react. I believe God is working on me, thru all of this. I pray I can get here!!!
Thank you for this council. Wise words. May the Lord bless you as you continue to bless us believers the way in which we are to conduct ourselves as children of God.
To allow wickedness to dictate anyone's life is not to love yourself, or your neighbor. There is a time to keep quiet, but also to be salt and light. "Do not throw your pearls to the swines" also fits this situation...
God help us to stay in Your Spirit, so You can set us all free, May Your anointing break off yokes of bondage off of us and those around us, in Jesus name Amen 🙏
This is a great message, it's true, not every battle is worth fighting. However, refraining from reacting to the provocative behavior of ppl nowadays is easier said than done. As lawlessness increases the heart of many will grow cold as evident today. you must pray daily for the Holy Spirit to strengthen you, and give you discernment when and how to respond and when to walk away. You cannot rely on will power! It doesn't work. I've tried that and it will wear you out! Depends on and rely on the Holy Spirit to help you, He loves you dearly and will help you!

I do this often but once in a while I will say, " what kind of resoonse are you hoping for in saying something like that ?" Then I just walk away. That always stuns them. Sometimes complete silence is agreement, so it's a fine line. Thank you for this wonderful talk 🙏 God bless 🙏💝
I love these messages. It helps you to grow. It's like dessert after a meal when you read scriptures. I look forward each day to see what i need to work on within myself. ❤
Yes, in that verse, it calls on us to practice what is being stated here and to rightly discern each situation. “Answer not a fool according to his folly, less you be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, less he be wise in his own eyes.” Prov 26:4-5 This proverb requires us to judge with right judgment the situation because there are times we are to answer back to correct a fool, and other times we are not to answer back at all because we will join him in his foolishness.
@@Garden366 we are also not to cast our pearls before swine, we should know who to speak to, and to watch what we give them, Thanks for your awesome and right comeback
@@Garden366 what’s interesting is that these two verses seem to contradict because one says answer not a fool. The other one says to answer a fool so maybe it’s just a misprint. lol
This is exactly what i did last night and it was truly self rewarding, that i made the right choice, the disrespect was so real and i held my composure, thank you for this inner validation , affirmation that God is pleased and answer my prayers, Thank you Jesus
I always REMIND MYSELF that the battle is SPIRITUAL...Eph 6:12...remaining composed and praying and letting The LORD fight our battles...that confuses the devil, when he doesn't see us react. We just be detached and polite. Let FATHER GOD handle that person. They will not continue if you stay calm & smiling...but you MUST be praying in the Spirit so you don't become bitter. FOCUS ON JESUS ALWAYS!!
Well, I've been staying calm and quiet trying to understand the root of why a leader kept being disrespectful to me publicly, literally belittling me among my peers and subordinates. However, the unwarranted behavior continued and even influenced other team members, triggering a disrespectful attitude from them as well. It all came to a head recently and I literally erupted. Everyone appeared shocked and to summarize, the leader is now seeking conflict resolution, acting ignorant about the disrespect, and apologizing profusely🙄. But honestly, I'm done. I believe keeping quiet can sometimes be enabling a toxic behavior towards you. In addition not responding immediately left me feeling so unsure about myself and feeling distracted and frustrated. In some cases, I feel it's necessary to nip some abusive behavior (like public disrespect) in the bud, IMMEDIATELY and PUBLICLY, to avoid a repetition from the culprit and others, especially in the workplace environment. People and environments/ situations are different and so a one size fit all response may not always apply. Wisdom is profitable to direct. (Ecclesiastes 10:10)
Souldelight - thank you for sharing this. I wholeheartedly agree. Very well said! I had a recent experience at work like this and I agree it's a situation where we must speak up and stand up for ourselves.
Went through the loss of family that took me to a dark place out of it came a total different mindset that thus far has been unshakable. For a while I thought the difference was due to not caring about anything anymore but as time went on I realized that once I had hit an all time low there wasn’t anything above that that could move me. I say less and feel less attached to things that I once made matter. Having a peace of mind where the mind being silent is something I hope all get to experience. I truly believe you can make things happen with just the thought.
Also I’ve learned if you choose to walk away in those moments, the “way” you walk away matters; ie body tone, facial expressions, head up or down, the pace you use to walk away. That’s a LEARNED behavior as well.
Also maybe dont get yourself into situations where you cannot physically walk away for instance i was on a interstate bus ride recently and i was disrespected but i could not simply leave i had to sit there all day and night.
Such a timely word for me! Would to GOD I had learned this forty years ago when a person who constantly taunted me was in my life! Oh, the suffering including a breakdown that I could have avoided! Any pastor who is reading this, please teach this wonderful message to your congregation!
I tried that approach of "turning the other cheek." I did and just got smacked down on the other cheek. I had to dig deep within myself and look to my ancestors grief and stories. I feel some of them with me especially my beautiful daughter who passed away in her sleep on Christmas. I went to the dark night of the soul and coming out of that is just scary. Thanks to all of you who help us cope. We all need each other.
Any time I reacted in a negative way to being disrespected’ I felt that the other person won’ they had control’ and with time I became better in those situations ‘ it does take discipline’ but you will be the better person for it
When I thought my loved ones thought the worst of me, it surprised me to realize that it was me thinking the worst of them. Every real wrong done to me plus the perceived wrongs born of my imagination, piled up on top of me, each new hurt another brick weighing down deeper and deeper until all was so dark and lonely around me. The light began to filter through as I remembered Christs love for each and every one of us is equally doled out. I then began to dole out faith in others, choosing to believe that they are not thinking the worst of me. If there is solid evidence, from the words they say to me, I can know that I am ok and can lose nothing of myself, because I am equal in value to everyone. Jesus tells me so, and His love sets me free. I see through my eyes differently. I have been learning to look at others through a lens of light. The darkness is falling away. I read His words and keep His words upon my heart.
I've never heard this before. Ever. I listened three times and I will listen to it more. Thank you for this.lesson. praying it helps me change. I dont want to be easily upset. I need peace desperately.
Our reactions are our own not theirs. They may expect a certain reaction because of past experience or because of stereotyping but if our reaction is different, they are hardly in control of it.
I can’t express how much I enjoy & appreciate this lecture. I am new to knowing that Lewis was a cleric. I knew only of the fiction. This & other of his lectures on YT are so worthwhile & this is some civilized, sensible & sensitive advice that so grounds me and keeps me sane & civil. Thank you. 🇺🇸🙏
Thank you for showing up in my life today. The synchronicity of this message is welcomed and a nice reminder of where I’ve been to where I’m going. Thank you. 🙏
Amen I pray everyone received this information and instructions from the most high once we learned this principle this world will be in a better place To God Be the Glory 🙏
I felt a heaviness that I believe is from this level of maturity and even with prayer it was just sitting there on me. I know we don't need white candles to pray but I put two on the floor and prayed harder on the ground and it helped. God is a chain breaker. Still being pruned to release the ego, hurt, and anger. But God is teaching me to separate people's physical self from their spirit and that people are often speaking and acting from ego. I fear and respect God above all and He sees all. We're maturing as God's children.
@tina-mariecrocker5687 someone said they were losing their faith. I suggested they read the bible cover to cover before you make the decision to quit. Someone else commented that I had assumed they hadn't already done that. I said "what's your problem with me suggesting for someone to read the WORD before giving up." This other person said that he had read the b8ble 2 times already my next comment would have been. "Maybe your not hearing his voice. But this video came up and I thought better of it.
I totally agree with this, but in all honesty when I needed it, the most -when I was younger-I would not have listened to it because I was young and still trying to fight battles that weren’t worth fighting.
I am 44, have been in siruation like this several times. I initially assumed that they did not meant that. I was thinking they're just joking. But,,it's really hard to differentiate, and it's hard when I felt hurting. Was it wrong to feel hurt? I couldn't force my feeling not to feel that. Was I too fragile? It's not that I've never conftont the person who called me names. But, the confrontation did not end up well as I thought it would. So, when it happened again, I reacted back, or staying quiet, or taking it into a joking realm, one of these things. I tried not to feel it so much. I was thinking, I did not want to have a fragile ego. It doesn't feel hurt anymore when I feel they're joking or laughing about me. At other times it's still hurt a lot. I try not to think about it that much now, and just try to brush it off.
I perfectly understand. I've gone through some of this as well. When I didn't react to disrespectful people things were much better for me. Try not to react, or just let them know that you are not going to engage in their foolishness. There are people who will respect you. Spend more time with them. Praying for you. 😊 God loves you very much. Always know that. ❤❤❤
I believe this is truly good advice. Just a caution that you don't want to internalize the pain the disrespect caused tho, silently hold a grudge. This is very toxic, so what to do with the hurt if you are a sensitive person? You can walk away but how do you let it go from the inside?
I am listening a lot today on these type of encouraging messages, but I realize I have been a people pleaser all of my life and I do mean all of my life. I was bullied in school as someone commented. I was told by a older girl when I was little that God created people like me for other people to bully, and I believed her, so therefore, I walked in the shadows of her lie seems the nicer. I am to people the more they take advantage of me and I stand in the mirror and I ask God Lord what do I look like? What am I doing? I see other people that they don’t treat them like. What am I looking like, I asked the Lord to please help me. This is my heart speaking because it hurts.
I'm having a talk tomorrow with my 90 year old mil Tomorrow, face to face . Her behavior since I married her son 1.5 years ago has done a 180. I know host both holidays since Dad died. I'm almost 50 and seem to have less patience . She needs to hear what in my heart. She is 90, as i recognize this. We do so much for her, but yet her control issues are out of control lol. Wish me luck. 😢
It is Okay to Stand up for ourselves, Not everyone subscribes to the Golden Rule, and you have to address it with wisdom. At times, if need, have these Bullies (family or Foe) arrested for any offence, abuse, file a grievance (job). However, do Not subject ourselves to anyone abusiveness, which we were taught by our parents.
Please stand up for yourself for your childrens sake. Please do not let them watch you accepting mistreatment and bullying from others, letting other people destroy you.
"Qui tacet consentire videtur". He/she who is silent is understood to concede. Silence is interpreted as defeat, NEVER allow yourself to be bullied or forced into submission. Always put those that have stepped out of line back in their place, calmly, and confidently. You're not doing anyone any favors by allowing abusive a-holes to mistreat others with impunity.
I’ve been disrespected all my life. I’ve come to understand that it’s bc of the Jesus in me. If they hated Him. They’ll hate me too. It hurts. But when I understand that the person sowing discord is in need of prayer, I can lift them up and heal.
“A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.” Proverbs 15:1 NKJV ✝️ “Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.” Romans 12:17-19 NKJV
I needed this today. Dealing with idiots at work who bully everyone. I wanted to tell them off this morning in a managers meeting- obviously in a professional way… but I know they are trying to get under my skin. I won’t do it!! Thank you!!
Nah, You can’t always do that. Even Jesus lashed out after his house was disrespected. You should try to temper your reactions but people need to be set straight sometimes.

“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

Silence after being insulted is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of inner strength. When you remain silent, you maintain control of your emotions and do not let others control you. Reacting immediately often leads to regret and unnecessary conflict. Controlling your emotions and responding with purpose shows maturity and self-respect. Focus on what is important, do not let the insult derail your goals and values. Self-respect is your true strength.

Your words are anointed indeed. When Jesus was on the cross being despised He never said a word. His strength was revealed in His quietness.
Did Jesus not speak on the cross and say " Father forgive them for they know not what they do?"
This is said to prompt our thoughts and prayers on the gift of forgiveness ☺️✨
I think it’s safe to say that he didn’t say a word in his defense.
@@randyjsing
He knew the outcome; His enemies did not.
Didn't he say at the cross "Eli eli, lama sabachthani", Lord, lord, why have you forsaken me?
He kept calm so i can talk and fight
Better to be thought a fool than to open one's mouth & remove all doubt. Self control is very empowering.
Good morning and thank you. I've been disrespected the past two weeks by a group of women at a club intended for fellowship. This popped up this morning on my feed as I have decided to leave this group. I haven't said anything to them I've just remained quiet and quietly extracted myself.
God bless you
Well done! The fruits of the spirit must be present in those we surround ourselves with. Just walk away and wish them well. It has nothing to do with you, They are broken and insecure inside.. maybe even jealous of you…its happened to me all my life.. God says to pray for your enemies and that blessing you send out for them will come back to you!
You handled it perfectly!God Bless You Sweetheart!
Following forgiveness there can be establishment of justice to protect the future well being of others. Pray first for we are not to go beyond the wishes of the Lord in establishing justice.
God delights in justice, and justice belongs to him.
Pastor Tim Keller R.I.P of the Redeemer church prepared a wonderful book called Forgiveness.
Justice is part of this book.
To the Lord be the Glory ✨
I disagree, you could put them in there place without throwing a tantrum, show me in the bible where Jesus never did that, to remain silent allows for the purp to stigmatize you, thus hindering your preaching of the gospel,Titus 2:15" These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.” Titus 2:15, it amazes me how Christians put personal opinion above scripture, grow a spine brother!
@bullheadedoldtimer1256 you may disagree but I did what is right for me. And since this happened a month ago once I commented this I am with a better group of people and I have in this short time been blessed by them financially, emotionally, in prayer and in guidance and fellowship. I refused to put those other people in their place because I've done that so much in my life! I'm 46 years old there comes a time when this things become exhausting and I chose my own peace. You tell me to grow a spine sir with all due respect you don't know how me at all. You know nothing about what I've been through
This podcast is a tremendous blessing, packed with wisdom. Thank you!
Thanks for listening

This is very good advice. NOT going down to the disrespector's level is vital.
♥️❤️♥️❤️
WOW I LOVE THIS..A PASTOR DISRESPECT me in front of all my children and grandchildren after church one Sunday morning. I didn't change her a word. She came back to me 2 Sundays after and apologized. She said she felt so low, couldn't believe none of my kids responded to her either. She said this tells how I raised them. She testified, if it was her daughter she would curse me to the car and even after I left. Just a short version of what happened. I'm glad I did what I did. Hearing this give strength.
If you read your Bible and believe it, a WOMAN is not to preach or be In the pulpit, sorry, look it up
@Lightningbug122 Mary was the first woman Jesus sent out with the gospel, go tell my disciple, and Peter......... That was a command. That's preaching
@Lightningbug122 I'VE BEEN READING MY BIBLE FOR GENESIS TO REVELATION SINCE 10 YEARS OLD STARTED TEACHING SUNDAY SCHOOL SINCE 12 YEARS OLD AND UNTIL NOW I NEVER STOP, AND I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT ANYWHERE IN THE BIBLE. IF YOU ARE REFERRING TO PAUL'S LETTERS WOMEN WERE CAUSING SOME CONFUSION IN THE CHURCH, SO PAUL INSTRUCTED THEM TO WAIT UNTIL THEY GET HOME THEY ASKED THEIR HUSBAND. Women was also a vital part in Paul's ministry.
@@warriorg2630I am curious, you think the pastors children would have cursed? Yikes ..
Powerful
Father in Heaven, please help me in this area so that I may reflect you. In Jesus name, Amen
God bless you always
Amen. ❤
These words are a gift of the Holy Spirit and are a blessing to me❤
Amen.

I went to an old friends funeral, was told by an old peer that always trated me poorly in high school and beyond
But when she said no one wants you here
Normally I would have lashed out. But I simply got in my car and left. What a feeling of peace came over me. I'm so proud of myself. It works
Welcome to back
Kudos I’m not there yet but I know I’ve got to ! I want to make it to heaven.
I've been in a similar situation. It wasn't by words but by looks (by 2 people,) even though the sister of the person who passed hugged me and thanked me for coming, and the 2 people's husbands hugged me and said it was nice to see me. Their adult kids were very polite, they sat at the table with me when we sat down to eat we all had a lovely conversation and hugged me at the end. With the rude person who approached you I would have smiled and stayed where I was, but thats just me.
@MelissaTierson sorry for your loss and I'm glad you got peace.
When it comes to funerals, noone should be telling anyone who can attend. It's just classless and outs the selfish for sure. Some people can't let others have a moment, it has to be about them. She showed her colors and you shone. Looks like we are all not alone as it sometimes feels, good to read everyone's comme ts here. What a beautiful group of people.
If you keep running into this person, you should address this behaviour. You could have stayed if you wanted to, especially if the family had no issues with you being there.
If ypu are a Christian, pray and ask the Lord to give you the words for any encounter. He will and the abuse will stop.
working in customer service has been the hardest test. I went from being in a office to on the phones. I keep scriptures posted all around my computer. I place a really ( mean, disrespectful, angry, yelling,) person on hold and I even pray. Its been the hardest thing to learn how to not to react. I believe God is working on me, thru all of this. I pray I can get here!!!
❤️❤️♥️♥️
I'm sorry that you're going through this with strangers. They are probably taking their pain out on you. Keep God in your focus.
Lord, help me to stay quiet when I am determined to lash out !
God bless you always
Yes ! This is a challenge for many of us-including myself.
Amen. 🙏🏼
May God answer your prayers and answer mine too, as I also need this Grace seriously in Jesus’ name. 🙏🏼 🙏🏼
Thank you for this council. Wise words. May the Lord bless you as you continue to bless us believers the way in which we are to conduct ourselves as children of God.
You are very welcome
Pray for my daughter. She really needs it.
God bless you all
Help me God to be clear in mind, spiritual and fiscally.
Help me in name of Jesus Christ. Amen
To allow wickedness to dictate
anyone's life is not to love yourself, or your neighbor.
There is a time to keep quiet, but also to be salt and light.
"Do not throw your pearls to the swines" also fits this situation...
God help us to stay in Your Spirit, so You can set us all free, May Your anointing break off yokes of bondage off of us and those around us, in Jesus name Amen 🙏
♥️♥️♥️
This is a great message, it's true, not every battle is worth fighting. However, refraining from reacting to the provocative behavior of ppl nowadays is easier said than done. As lawlessness increases the heart of many will grow cold as evident today. you must pray daily for the Holy Spirit to strengthen you, and give you discernment when and how to respond and when to walk away. You cannot rely on will power! It doesn't work. I've tried that and it will wear you out! Depends on and rely on the Holy Spirit to help you, He loves you dearly and will help you!
Good luck
God bless you 🙏

I do this often but once in a while I will say, " what kind of resoonse are you hoping for in saying something like that ?" Then I just walk away. That always stuns them. Sometimes complete silence is agreement, so it's a fine line. Thank you for this wonderful talk 🙏 God bless 🙏💝
God bless you always
This is confirmation to me that I know that I am glad that I didn't react so I learned to bring it to my lord. It's a victory for me
God bless you all
I'm so glad we are giving this man so much credit for sharing about the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
Just read Matthew. Thats all!!!
I love these messages. It helps you to grow. It's like dessert after a meal when you read scriptures. I look forward each day to see what i need to work on within myself. ❤
Yes! Thank you!
I need to read more cs lewis.
I figured this out in my early 20's. Just staring people down after disrespect is one of the most truly intimating things you can do.
HELP ME HOLY SPIRIT TO HOLD MY PEACE IN JESUS CHRIST NAME!💥💥💥
God bless you 🙏
Proverbs says to answer not a fool according to his folly
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Yes, in that verse, it calls on us to practice what is being stated here and to rightly discern each situation.
“Answer not a fool according to his folly, less you be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, less he be wise in his own eyes.” Prov 26:4-5
This proverb requires us to judge with right judgment the situation because there are times we are to answer back to correct a fool, and other times we are not to answer back at all because we will join him in his foolishness.
@@Garden366 we are also not to cast our pearls before swine, we should know who to speak to, and to watch what we give them, Thanks for your awesome and right comeback
Speak not into the ears of a fool for they will despise the wisdom of your words Proverbs 23:9 if I remember right
@@Garden366 what’s interesting is that these two verses seem to contradict because one says answer not a fool. The other one says to answer a fool so maybe it’s just a misprint. lol
I wish l had seen this, this past weekend. Massive breakup with someone l loved so much, even though he was a broken, wounded person. 😢
God bless you
Yes I needed to hear this last week in a disagreement with my landlord.
This is exactly what i did last night and it was truly self rewarding, that i made the right choice, the disrespect was so real and i held my composure, thank you for this inner validation , affirmation that God is pleased and answer my prayers, Thank you Jesus
♥️♥️♥️♥️
I always REMIND MYSELF that the battle is SPIRITUAL...Eph 6:12...remaining composed and praying and letting The LORD fight our battles...that confuses the devil, when he doesn't see us react. We just be detached and polite. Let FATHER GOD handle that person. They will not continue if you stay calm & smiling...but you MUST be praying in the Spirit so you don't become bitter. FOCUS ON JESUS ALWAYS!!
God bless you always
Well, I've been staying calm and quiet trying to understand the root of why a leader kept being disrespectful to me publicly, literally belittling me among my peers and subordinates.
However, the unwarranted behavior continued and even influenced other team members, triggering a disrespectful attitude from them as well.
It all came to a head recently and I literally erupted. Everyone appeared shocked and to summarize, the leader is now seeking conflict resolution, acting ignorant about the disrespect, and apologizing profusely🙄.
But honestly, I'm done.
I believe keeping quiet can sometimes be enabling a toxic behavior towards you. In addition not responding immediately left me feeling so unsure about myself and feeling distracted and frustrated.
In some cases, I feel it's necessary to nip some abusive behavior (like public disrespect) in the bud, IMMEDIATELY and PUBLICLY, to avoid a repetition from the culprit and others, especially in the workplace environment.
People and environments/ situations are different and so a one size fit all response may not always apply.
Wisdom is profitable to direct. (Ecclesiastes 10:10)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Your perspective is valuable!
Souldelight - thank you for sharing this. I wholeheartedly agree. Very well said! I had a recent experience at work like this and I agree it's a situation where we must speak up and stand up for ourselves.
Went through the loss of family that took me to a dark place out of it came a total different mindset that thus far has been unshakable. For a while I thought the difference was due to not caring about anything anymore but as time went on I realized that once I had hit an all time low there wasn’t anything above that that could move me. I say less and feel less attached to things that I once made matter. Having a peace of mind where the mind being silent is something I hope all get to experience. I truly believe you can make things happen with just the thought.
God bless you
Also I’ve learned if you choose to walk away in those moments, the “way” you walk away matters; ie body tone, facial expressions, head up or down, the pace you use to walk away. That’s a LEARNED behavior as well.
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Also maybe dont get yourself into situations where you cannot physically walk away for instance i was on a interstate bus ride recently and i was disrespected but i could not simply leave i had to sit there all day and night.
"We cannot remain silent or concede everything away" - C.S. Lewis
Such a timely word for me! Would to GOD I had learned this forty years ago when a person who constantly taunted me was in my life! Oh, the suffering including a breakdown that I could have avoided! Any pastor who is reading this, please teach this wonderful message to your congregation!
God bless you all
Dont give the devil any ground. Remember, we battle not with flesh and blood. Remember that the person is not your enemy, the devil is.
💓💓
Perfect. That is exactly true. The devil will slide in if any opening is available. Always be with God… every minute.
Amen🙏🕊️Thank you for this powerful message Jesus said to turn the other cheek God Bless you 🙏
I tried that approach of "turning the other cheek." I did and just got smacked down on the other cheek. I had to dig deep within myself and look to my ancestors grief and stories. I feel some of them with me especially my beautiful daughter who passed away in her sleep on Christmas. I went to the dark night of the soul and coming out of that is just scary. Thanks to all of you who help us cope. We all need each other.
Very encouraging, thanks 🙏
Welcome
Any time I reacted in a negative way to being disrespected’ I felt that the other person won’ they had control’ and with time I became better in those situations ‘ it does take discipline’ but you will be the better person for it
appreciate your feedback! Stay tuned for more content like this.
I was struggling with this & then I got your vid coming down my RUclips feed. Ty for teaching me.
Welcome
When I thought my loved ones thought the worst of me, it surprised me to realize that it was me thinking the worst of them.
Every real wrong done to me plus the perceived wrongs born of my imagination, piled up on top of me, each new hurt another brick weighing down deeper and deeper until all was so dark and lonely around me.
The light began to filter through as I remembered Christs love for each and every one of us is equally doled out.
I then began to dole out faith in others, choosing to believe that they are not thinking the worst of me. If there is solid evidence, from the words they say to me, I can know that I am ok and can lose nothing of myself, because I am equal in value to everyone. Jesus tells me so, and His love sets me free.
I see through my eyes differently.
I have been learning to look at others through a lens of light. The darkness is falling away.
I read His words and keep His words upon my heart.
❤️❤️💕💕
Amazing that I have this mind set now from experience. This excellent exceptional advice. ❤
Wonderful!
No response is a response. ❤️✨
❣️❣️❣️❣️
This is the word I needed. I really need it physically and spiritually in my life especially my calling and ministry in Jesus name amen ❤
God bless you
I've never heard this before. Ever. I listened three times and I will listen to it more. Thank you for this.lesson. praying it helps me change. I dont want to be easily upset. I need peace desperately.
God bless you all
Our reactions are our own not theirs. They may expect a certain reaction because of past experience or because of stereotyping but if our reaction is different, they are hardly in control of it.

I can’t express how much I enjoy & appreciate this lecture. I am new to knowing that Lewis was a cleric. I knew only of the fiction. This & other of his lectures on YT are so worthwhile & this is some civilized, sensible & sensitive advice that so grounds me and keeps me sane & civil. Thank you. 🇺🇸🙏
God bless you always
YES. Absolutely yes.
Thanks
Thank you for showing up in my life today. The synchronicity of this message is welcomed and a nice reminder of where I’ve been to where I’m going. Thank you. 🙏
Thank you for watching! Feel free to share more thoughts anytime.

Excellent words of wisdom ❤❤❤

I’m in my 40’s it used to be easier to stay quiet but I’m loosing patience. I’m praying about it!
❣️❣️❣️❣️💓💓
This message is a timely blessing. I Thank You 🙏
You are so welcome
I felt a heaviness that I believe is from this level of maturity and even with prayer it was just sitting there on me. I know we don't need white candles to pray but I put two on the floor and prayed harder on the ground and it helped. God is a chain breaker. Still being pruned to release the ego, hurt, and anger. But God is teaching me to separate people's physical self from their spirit and that people are often speaking and acting from ego. I fear and respect God above all and He sees all. We're maturing as God's children.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Your perspective is valuable!
Silence is power, it dismantle a person's mental thinking, it confuses them but when you reacted they know what your next move is....🤔
God bless you always
@@wisdomofwinns Same to you brother ☺️
The universe is bigger than anyone's disrespect. Their disrespect fails by comparison.
Oh I have to have this come up on my feed 6 hours after I responded to a comment made against me.. oops
❤❤❤well learn❤
@tina-mariecrocker5687 someone said they were losing their faith. I suggested they read the bible cover to cover before you make the decision to quit. Someone else commented that I had assumed they hadn't already done that. I said "what's your problem with me suggesting for someone to read the WORD before giving up." This other person said that he had read the b8ble 2 times already my next comment would have been. "Maybe your not hearing his voice. But this video came up and I thought better of it.
Welcome
@@foreveryoung5Bless you 😇
Same here! Believing it's never too late to learn.
👌 excellent teaching! Thank you
God bless you all
I totally agree with this, but in all honesty when I needed it, the most -when I was younger-I would not have listened to it because I was young and still trying to fight battles that weren’t worth fighting.
God bless you always love
I am 44, have been in siruation like this several times. I initially assumed that they did not meant that. I was thinking they're just joking. But,,it's really hard to differentiate, and it's hard when I felt hurting. Was it wrong to feel hurt? I couldn't force my feeling not to feel that. Was I too fragile? It's not that I've never conftont the person who called me names. But, the confrontation did not end up well as I thought it would. So, when it happened again, I reacted back, or staying quiet, or taking it into a joking realm, one of these things. I tried not to feel it so much. I was thinking, I did not want to have a fragile ego. It doesn't feel hurt anymore when I feel they're joking or laughing about me. At other times it's still hurt a lot. I try not to think about it that much now, and just try to brush it off.
If I'm reading this correctly it doesn't seem like you are wrong to feel hurt and you shouldn't ignore it.
Thank you very much!
These words are so important and helpful for me.
Wonderful!
To those who think responding shows strength.....
Only what is weak needs defending.
God bless you always love ♥️♥️♥️
This is a very powerful yet challenging teaching. This is JESUS
May God be pleased with you
I perfectly understand. I've gone through some of this as well. When I didn't react to disrespectful people things were much better for me. Try not to react, or just let them know that you are not going to engage in their foolishness. There are people who will respect you. Spend more time with them. Praying for you. 😊 God loves you very much. Always know that. ❤❤❤
God help you
I believe this is truly good advice. Just a caution that you don't want to internalize the pain the disrespect caused tho, silently hold a grudge. This is very toxic, so what to do with the hurt if you are a sensitive person? You can walk away but how do you let it go from the inside?
God bless you
You choose to forgive, as God has forgiven you
I am listening a lot today on these type of encouraging messages, but I realize I have been a people pleaser all of my life and I do mean all of my life. I was bullied in school as someone commented. I was told by a older girl when I was little that God created people like me for other people to bully, and I believed her, so therefore, I walked in the shadows of her lie seems the nicer. I am to people the more they take advantage of me and I stand in the mirror and I ask God Lord what do I look like? What am I doing? I see other people that they don’t treat them like. What am I looking like, I asked the Lord to please help me. This is my heart speaking because it hurts.
God bless you always love
My adult siblings are strange and think when you are quiet, they have won the battle and the quiet one has “realised” they were wrong 😂😂
I'm having a talk tomorrow with my 90 year old mil
Tomorrow, face to face . Her behavior since I married her son 1.5 years ago has done a 180.
I know host both holidays since Dad died.
I'm almost 50 and seem to have less patience . She needs to hear what in my heart.
She is 90, as i recognize this. We do so much for her, but yet her control issues are out of control lol.
Wish me luck. 😢
💓💓❤️❤️
A most incredible insight into the human condition!! Sadly.
Well, sometimes you have to defend boundaries. Staying silent at all times won’t cut it.
God bless you always 💕❤️❤️
And even then you can do so, kindly, firmly and without meeting them at their level
Jesus was a silent lamb before his shearers
Amen❤
So true‼️🤦🏻♀️

It is Okay to Stand up for ourselves, Not everyone subscribes to the Golden Rule, and you have to address it with wisdom. At times, if need, have these Bullies (family or Foe) arrested for any offence, abuse, file a grievance (job). However, do Not subject ourselves to anyone abusiveness, which we were taught by our parents.
God bless you always
Without the Holy Spirit our fallen nature can not practice self control it is the Holy Spirit who gives us such a beautiful gift ❤️

Please stand up for yourself for your childrens sake.
Please do not let them watch you accepting mistreatment and bullying from others, letting other people destroy you.
God bless you always
"Qui tacet consentire videtur". He/she who is silent is understood to concede.
Silence is interpreted as defeat, NEVER allow yourself to be bullied or forced into submission. Always put those that have stepped out of line back in their place, calmly, and confidently. You're not doing anyone any favors by allowing abusive a-holes to mistreat others with impunity.
God bless you
I’ve been disrespected all my life. I’ve come to understand that it’s bc of the Jesus in me. If they hated Him. They’ll hate me too. It hurts. But when I understand that the person sowing discord is in need of prayer, I can lift them up and heal.
Thanks for commenting! I’m happy this video resonated with you.
Wow! Thank you for this!
Enlightening video. May God have mercy on my soul.
God bless you 🙏
Well said. I needed to hear that. One thing that helped me over the years is, "It's only an insult if you value their opinion".

“A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.”
Proverbs 15:1 NKJV
✝️
“Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.”
Romans 12:17-19 NKJV

I needed this today. Dealing with idiots at work who bully everyone.
I wanted to tell them off this morning in a managers meeting- obviously in a professional way… but I know they are trying to get under my skin.
I won’t do it!!

Conflicts or offenses are inevitable,however, how you respond is key to your peace of mind and maturity.

Boy did I ever need to hear this! I deal with the public and many times they are rude, demanding and unreasonable. It's so hard to bite my tongue.
♥️♥️♥️
Nah, You can’t always do that. Even Jesus lashed out after his house was disrespected. You should try to temper your reactions but people need to be set straight sometimes.
