This is so good! I left a cult I was in for 10 years and your videos have been so helpful in my healing process. Pastors don't talk about these things enough. I'm so thankful for your ministry!
Ive been watching your videos over the past few days and just spent the past few days crying and processing so much stuff……you guys are literally speaking to me sooooo much! Church hopping has just magnified my father wound even more, i even felt i just needed to stop and heal, but didnt want to be isolated so i settled for just accepting whatever church im at untill i get up and leave….a pattern i need to address!….i just completed the free Spiritual Abuse course you guys have, it has helped so much! Will be replaying it a few times cause the material is so helpful! Thankyou so much for what you guys are doing!!!!! Please continue to make more videos, so so so good!!!! ❤
I was raised Pentecostal and a few years ago I discovered my narcissist family members and they got their own church and for a long time I’ve been spiritual abused and shunned because I don’t agree with things that good own so I’ve had too do the hardest thing too do was I cut off most of my family it’s abusive emotional abuse and it’s about rules and laws you got too go by or if you don’t agree with them my family members shunned me my narcissist mom passed away last year and my dad don’t have nothing too do with me my mom divorced my dad then my stepdad cheated I love my family but nothing I do is good enough for them if you don’t do everything they want you too do they avoid you and shun you I feel it’s a toxic and spiritual abuse so and they want too control you and I love y’all videos and my life is in isolation and I stop going their because of the abuse and it’s hard for me too socialize with people I wound rather be too myself then around my family because of the cult like rules and condemnation and I have been abused
its been about 7 to 8 yrs since I left a strict pentacostal church that was fear, performance driver, works based salvation. I thought just maybe time away from it all would self correct, but I'm sitting here on the floor of my kids room in a tear of paddles because I'm still so broken and sad. I never realised how to take off the mask, even afterwards I was taught ti just pretend and mask all the hurt, and struggles you were going through. Im addicted to ponography, have been unfaithful to my wife, still struggling with this instead desire to flirt with any and every girl I see for validation, yet am so filled with social anxiety and fear that I dont even know how to be myself. I dont have any friends, cuz I dont have anything to give as a friend because I'm so broken...im 36 and I dont know what to do, I feel like ive lost my chance to shine,,the only reason why I dont just end it all is because of my kids,,,,I love them so much ,,,my dad was abusive and I was given up to fostercare as a child and I dont want my kids to have the father would that I have. I have your audio book "God love me and I love myself" but like everything in my life I havent finished it yet. I don't know what to do. I know God is real,, but I feel so far away from him and wholeness.
Start listen to Derek Prince on Deliverance. I had similar problems for years and last year God set me free. The change has been so dramatic. Peace of mind for the first time in decades. It started with forgiveness. Joyce’s Myers book “Do yourself a favor and forgive” open doors. Within a coupe of weeks God led me to deliverance. There is hope.
Was this due to the Charismatic Movement by any chance? Could I potentially have trauma due to being told I am not healed because I don’t have enough faith?
Where were y'all in the 80's when I was attending Bible College?! I appreciate y'alls ministry it really resonates with my soul and brokenness. Thank you so very much for the hours of prayer and research you've put into your awesome ministry!
P.S. you mentioned watching those movies in church about the end times. I think I was 5, 6 years old and I was terrified. I would make myself as small as I could in the pew with my hands over my ears. I've never met anyone else besides those I grew up with that knows about those movies. Again, very grateful for your ministry!
I knew about those movies! Watched them in a church when I was about 8 and that started my relationship with God which was all based on fear. It traumatized me for YEARS! Still feel the effects of that 38 yrs later.
@@tandaolson4150 I am so very sorry you've endured this unnecessary and ungodly type of pain as well. I'm 56 and I'm just now getting to know God as my loving Father for what feels like the 1st time. Thank you so much for sharing your heart with me it helps to know we're not alone. I hope we both have better days ahead. The clarity, understanding and encouragement (and comments) shared through this ministry feels like a big welcome home hug from God. Stay encouraged my friend!
I felt like my first start with my walk with God was cult like. I learned a false gospel that I needed to get rid of evey sin in me and it broke me. My family tried telling me but I didn't listen. I was too afraid and too scared to understand I was going down the wrong way.
I have been so anxious about all these things like going on in this election and the pastors and how so much has been put on it. I am so afraid about this

I think especially the parental neglect and abuse. I think you will always be searching for a family.

This is so, so good and more relevant than ever. Thank you both for being a balm of Gilead 💝
THANK YOU for addressing this!!!

I hear your pain. Your description is not uncommon, and you're not alone in your brokenness. Thank you for your incredible vulnerability
My family operates like a cult. Thank you so much for this and ALL of your videos!!!
I was part of a ritualistic cult and I am only now realising how much it affected me. I'm glad for people who acknowledge this.
Praying that healing will flow one step at a time. I am sorry your heart experienced that.

I was shown these movies as a kid. I have spent thousands of dollars on therapy to fix my mind .
Thank you, this is so good!
Mark your so hilarious...Melissa love your wisdom God bless you both.
Amen brother

Always so encouraging ❤️
great material
I have been so anxious about all these things like going on in this election and the pastors and how so much has been put on it. I am so afraid about this
Where can I get some good counseling where I can be heard. Just got out of cult. It really damaged me all areas of my life
How about Torban Sondergaard :'" The Last Reformation ministries'"
Please it goes both ways brother, let her finish her thoughts as well…
How do I heal though
Great the first thing you do is ask for money even as I'm reaching out in pain for help. Hey at least your honest...thanks
Any Ex-Jws here?
