Thank you Jesus so much for these women and better together ❤ I always gain such wisdom and I relate to every single episode and it's always exactly what I need to hear so I may learn and lean on the Lord in all my struggles of life! Glory be to God ALWAYS!!!!!
This is soooo good! I've been manipulated my entire life to make myself smaller to make others feel bigger ... it's taken me 37 years to have this revelation and it's core is my people pleasing and God and these women are teaching me that there's a difference in manipulating and having a good heart towards someone! Thank u Jesus for convicting me to know the difference 🙏
This is an obsolute truth. I've experienced manipulation in church on several occasions different branches, where I said I just wouldn't attend church anymore, but the Holy Spirit continues to convict me to go back, He's building me up. I clearly remember a prophet told me the attacks are for the gift God placed in me, and made reference to the weeping prophet Jeremiah. But I continues to trust God and ask him to strengthen me to walk this pathway. The word of God told us judgment begins in the house of God . I pray and trust God will continue to use you Ladies to edify us.
Wow. Definitely experienced a breakthrough in this message from manipulation in my previous church that I didn't even know still had a hold on how I've currently been in survival to pretect not being controlled in current ministry. The holy spirit definitely opened my eyes and gave me word of assurance from this message. Thank you Lord and Thank you Sisters for serving 🙏
Robyn talking about the man made rules that are actually preferences are something my mom once heard a pastor call ‘sacred cows’. How sometimes you have those specific things engrained in you that shouldn’t be there-whether rules or ways you’re just stubbornly set in-that need to be ‘tipped over’. Still to this day that’s one of my mom’s favorite sayings. 😂
Thank you ladies, I really needed to hear this message and I just went through this. Yes I am getting therapy. I have been torned down by Pastors that said the love me but it ended in manipulation. Blessings to each of you and your families ❤️🙏🏾
This is so powerful. Always take everything even from a Christian or a leader to God. For what they see and try to put into our lives isn't aligned with what God has for us. And these things can truly damage us
I needed to hear this now.😪🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 We have to take care of our words without judging, go to God first to say what we feel. Some people, because they have a higher position than us, does not mean that they can treat people badly and their ego goes over the limits to offend people, thinking that they are right and that is not true. Father God if you give us the gift of authority, do not let it be negative, and take advantage of people or think that we know more, because we do not know everything, only your Father God. Help us, so that the other person is open to listen with love. May our intentions be pure and truthful for the sole reason of helping each other. Manipulation is of the devil, and we cannot let him win over us. We have to put on the word of God day by day as armor and that through the Holy Spirit guide us to take the best path, even when people have humiliated us, mistreated, abused or manipulated the situation. Yes, I've been through all of those things BUT GOD HELPED ME TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD. It wasn't easy but I have to move on for my own good. Let us always keep in mind that we have a GREAT GOD, who sees everything and that we cannot keep resentment in our hearts, but compassion for the people who hurt us. GOD WILL ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF THE REST. I thank you so much for sharing your testimonies, for helping us to be better people and see the results in you of what God has done.❤
I listen to Better Together everyday! I learn so much, thank you! Lisa , you story was so touching, it brought me to tears. I felt DeeDee comment was strange to Lisa's story.
Thank you for this. For me it's also been a fear of not being blessed by God, because if I said and thought differently I was scared I was not covering my leaders and that was sin. I am not there yet, I still have a lot of fear that God would punish me. I am still learning healthy boundaries because I don't want to have an unteachable spirit but I also need a healthy view of the way things actually are.
Manipulation! Every form of abuse possible! legalistic church growing up! Second rate person in chuch! You name it is my life story. thank you for your talks! I thank you for your openness, it is helping me in ways that you cannot imagine. Thank you! God Bless
This conversation itself is a vehicle of healing. God will provide in all areas especially cognitive because we can't do life without thinking 1st. We can reflect or be quick to cast down that which doesn't fit God's purpose by knowing God's truth..!! Even with blindspots💞❤️💞 thank you Pastors
Amen!! Exactly! I couldn't control what was going on in my life either. The only control I felt I had was also what I ate! I wouldn't wish an eating disorder on anyone as well!
If you are in an abusive relationship, please don't be manipulated into staying in a dangerous union. In Matthew 5:22, we see that the hatred of abuse is as bad as murder. It is the abuser's responsibility to repent and be changed by the Holy Spirit. You are loved and made in the image of God so if you are not safe, feel empowered to leave. James 4:7 tells you to submit to God. Don't let the manipulation of those pushing air into the Word of God keep you from living an abundant life.
In Jesus mighty name I stand in agreement with your prayer for revelations for women who've been manipulated and reminded of negative events in our lives, amen. God is so good, one of my prayer requests for this week is for God to reveal things to me and this was a great reminder. I have an ex "best friend" who I haven't spoken to in years but recently she felt it necessary to message me and mention not so great things and lies from my past. I met her with the love of God and kept it moving. I thank Jesus for delivering me!! Thank you ladies for your transparency.
I love this session this is why I stand on put on what you want be you because no one should take the real you out of you God said come as you are and I will change you. People need to stop trying to change people's appearance or who they are and just let God do it
After watching this video I shuffled my worship playlist and these 5 songs played. Everything by Lauren Daigle Fear is a Liar by Zach Williams Soul Song by Micah Tyler Mercy is a Song by Matthew West You Love Me Anyways by Sidewalk Prophets I hope one of those give y’all peace in your heart like it did and continues to do for mine. 🤍
I was raised JW. Told my whole life I would never measure up because I as a woman did not do enough (door to door &talks). My mother was especially hard on me mentally and emotionally always trying to tweak me and perfect me. I know now that IAM enough and SOOOOO love by God. I’ve left the JW and will never turn back.
Ladies thank Uuuuu!!! My baby boy Armoniluciano went with the lord July 7/21 he was murdered… I’m trying to get a divorce it’s been 4 1/2 years of crazy from a sadistic satanic person. I could use your prayers and get my spousal support back on permanently. Many blessings to you all!!♥️
Apiffany, thank you for reaching out. We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. We will be praying for you. We will be praying for the Lord to rebuild the ruins and restore your home to it's former glory (Amos 9:11), in the name of Jesus! 💜
Robyn made a comment about how we need to read the bible and love the word so that we don't foolishly lose our salvation. I was raised in the church to believe that one could never lose their salvation. Once made new in Christ, for a Christian to lose their salvation, the new creation would have to be destroyed. I was taught that we were purchased with a price which was the death of Jesus. God would have to revoke His purchase of the individual for whom He paid with the blood of Jesus Christ, right? I would love for the panel to elaborate more on this. If we could lose our salvation, what could be the cause of that?
I told someone the other day , "I need help , I need to learn how to reach out to ppl " . He said no , if you have Jesus an love in your heart that's all you need . Since then I'm just even more struggling with feeling down. I believe in Jesus, I love but not how I could , but hearing what this brother said sounded so good but leaving me feeling so.... sort of condemned maybe, not by him but in my own thoughts or something;,(
Praise The Lord and God Bless You, Madams pls pray for me I need prayer that I could go to my Church and Preach Gospel,i trust in Lord He will help me and i will served the Lord in my Church

Lisa. H, you are the sharpest tool in the shed- The H.S is in you making you more than able 💐🙌🏾
These stories are waaay tooo relatable. 😢
Sooo grateful for the transparency from you guys 🤗
Get in the word, read the word, and see what the word says - what a great comment.

God bless you Ms. Lisa for sharing that story. God bless this space , such a blessing!!!!
Thank you for the discussion about therapy!!!! I truly believe deliverance and therapy heal us and make us whole.
This was a touching video. I appreciate the both of you sharing your stories. And what a powerful prayer. ❤️🙏🏽

I can identify with Alex Seeley about being shamed for how I looked. I pray that I am delivered from this bondage.

But it doesn't help when people you used to know think of you that way? How do I cope with that
Struggling with the same Hayley😔
By "that way' did you mean that people are treating you differently than you actually are?
The toungue can be a dangerous thing!
Great message, but too much crosstalk. It was distracting.
