This is a really important topic as far as I am concerned: my husband is a narcissistic individual & a malevolent one, at that! I pray every day, for peace & harmony in my home, because of the havoc he causes. From experience, I have learned that silence is my best defence. But it is so hard sometimes, to just shut up. Asking God to take over works every time, not as fast as you’d like it, sometimes, but it does work. Jesus I trust in You. Be my guide now and always, Amen
Believe me , I know what you are going through. Silence helps but I find it difficult. Things got so bad for me that I had a breakdown ...The LORD brought me through ! Do what is best for you. Move to a guest room in your house for your quiet time. Keep your finances private. I had to learn so much. The LORD truly helps us when we submit all to HIM. GOD' BLESS you ! 🎉❤
Thank you Lord Jesus. This was the PERFECT message right now. There’s someone in my life who is narcissistic, and I’ve been praying for God’s guidance to deal with him in a loving way, without getting caught up in his bad behavior. It’s been a struggle, so I’m grateful for this message today. Thank you Soulful Devotions, and above all, thank you Jesus. God is great! 🙌🙏❤️
This is so accurate and powerful! Anyone who has been brainwashed by a narcissist can heal with God’s wisdom and love and turn the pain into compassion - God always wins!❤
Have you ever noticed that a narcissist always wants to be the sinner of attention and no matter what you say is wrong no matter what you do isn’t good enough so you’re better off not talking too much and let them talk themselves to death. This devotion really hits home. Thank you Lord Jesus for this day thank you for your strength your love and your forgiveness. Amen and peace be with all of you that are listening to this soul devotion.
Amen 🙏. I never knew that someone would be like that. I have been married to one. When young, the innocence of love, denies what it sees and endures, forgives and overlooks. Now I pray daily to be delivered from such evil and malignancy. I pray for God to be my strength and courage in my day to day challenges and not to be intoxicated by all the malignant behaviour I have suffered for 50 years in this relationship. Thank you dear friends for your encouragement. Thank You, heavenly Father for always being in my life and helping me out from many situations ,to You and Your beloved Son Jesus I give praise and honour always even forevermore amen 🙏.
That's a long time of living in a toxic home. Your children, if any, must have suffered greatly as yourself. Toxicity is dangerous mentally, physically and emotionally. I surely hope that you are getting the spiritual support needed. It's had to go through a battle without coming out with scars that affect decisions and other relationships. The Lord wants us healthy and whole. He does not want us to just tolerate bad behaviors just to get along. That I'm learning. It can impede our decisions spiritually. I sure pray you're getting ministering counciling...I'm praying with you on this...God give you wisdom and protection...
@@terilazaro5287 thank you. Now that God has opened my eyes I can look back and acknowledge that God was always with me and protected me. He has given me grace upon grace, and His peace is always in my heart. He is my strength and courage each day. I have set boundaries and am living day by day by God's grace 🙏. God our Father is good all the time. I'm learning too trusting in God, only He can be trusted 🙏
Oh my goodness. First comment… I was just going to write: I wish I didn’t need this video. Bless everyone. Pray. That’s what I know about it. ❤. Bless you
This is a great and needed message dear brother. I live in a nursing home where there are a few narcissistic people. Management gives one full control of the home, and avoiding her is impossible. Please pray for me and this situation. Amen brother. She is a resident of the home and hard to ignore.
Beautiful. 30 minutes of Christian wisdom. Look at the world. Lucifer's pride. “The Christians are right: it is Pride which has been the chief cause of misery in every nation and every family since the world began.” ― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
Sadly, I have recently understood the label of covert narcissist apples to my husband of 27 years. He has stage 3 terminal cancer (rejects any treatment) so may have months or years. He seemed to have left the Lord, left the church 5 years ago and rejected believers. He’s very pleasant and likable to other people. He moved some money in his name only and left 80% to his children including our house. The will reads that I can stay there, paying taxes and everything but it is theirs. I won’t have enough with the 20% to move to a smaller, cheaper house, or enough income to rent. His attitude of bitterness and lack of love, is shocking to me. But, the Lord has been wonderful, teaching me to take care of myself and to love him in spite of the wrong he is doing. He’s under a lot of pressure from his illness, and without the Lord--not where I would want to be. The illness has definitely brought out the worst but he was like this before also. So this lesson, this counsel is just what I needed to encourage me to continue. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your heart and testimony . I empathize emphatically. My husband [like yours = 27 years] also is quite similar to yours... including a chronic illness. Let's pray for each other. I wish you lived next door. 😊 ❤
@@kathryngracey7993my marriage to a "N" lasted 27 years. That was 24 years ago. He is more full of pride and more crule as he ages. Best wishes and be blessed. Check out Shaneen Megji -. so helpful and uses Biblucal truth
Hi I too have had to learn to deal with this behaviour. My husband of 34 years, 2 years ago he was diagnosed with chronic cirrhosis of the liver from drinking. God healed him after being given maybe six months to a year to live without a new liver. It’s a long story, but God use this to turn his heart. He is a lot more humble now and has given him a second chance to store his family relationships get closer to God. It’s only been two years out of many years of pain, but I know God is greater. Let’s all pray for one another that they completely surrender lives as we all need to. And have a close and abiding relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is my only hope, I’ve been through many many trials with him and our seven children well now six on earth. Wow I was just reminded by the Holy Spirit that today is her birthday. She would have been 27. Her name is Lydia will be together again with the Lord. I am so grateful. Let’s continue to pray for one another. I feel your hearts when I ask God‘s blessingto give you the strength and the wisdom to be guided by him. Truly victory is in Jesus every day. Blessings, my friend in Christ.
This podcast is so helpful to me as I try to walk with God as I am called. All of these are so helpful thank you. I have many narcissistic people In my life.
Unfortunately I did marry a narcissistic man. He is from Nepal and does not practice ANY religious beliefs. I've been with him 13 years. Recently the danger and weather forced a job transfer. I am now 10 hrs away from him but still good friends with his daughter. We have helped each other a lot. I do not want a divorce. I believe God wants me to learn something. Pray for me please.❤🙏☝️✝️
Wow! I also have an narcissistic husband. If it had not been for the Lord being in my life it would have destroyed me. But I still think divorce still might be the course of action because it's too depleting at times. But I find that I don't because he seems so helpless. I pray for guidance. Would you pray for this situation with me... thank you!
@@terilazaro5287 I know, you are not alone, praying for you 🙏 ❤️, take courage and trust in the LORD, it is He who fights our battles for us (Exodus 14:14) the LORD always keeps His promises, all we have to do is claim them as our own. May the LORD bless you with all wisdom 🙏
My husband is a malignant narcissist. It’s gotten worse over time. So much toxicity. Married 41 years and want out but he controls everything. Also tries to turn our adult children against me.
by far the most valuable video I have ever seen 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻thank you so much. I'm married to a narcissistic husband and almost all of my friends have narcissistic partners or Ex- partners. Probably this content can help min. 10 women in my life plus their children. God bless you and this work, this channel ❤❤❤
Setting boundaries: every time I attempted to establish boundaries, such as the importance of being there for my mother, even on matters of living the Christian life, that was met with a “ nuclear “ reaction ( also from the person’s mother= triangulation), verbally attacked and ghosting for up to five weeks. Such deeply ingrained satanic behaviour is darkness - I am the son of the Lord of Light - Jesus. Light and darkness don’t mix. I assigned the narcissist to Christ and reclaimed my God- given right for inner peace through Grace. I am free from satan’s net through Lord Jesus’ sacrificial love on the cross and His glorious resurrection! Sometimes we can’t save those who don’t want to save themselves through Christ.
I’m in a narcissistic relationship with someone I thought would be my husband. Not yet married but moved in and child involved. Been trying to move out but feels like GOD has not yet released me to do so yet. In the meantime, it is painful, discouraging and caught between son noticing certain behaviours and asking questions and teaching the way of GOD in truth and not lying to my son while still not telling him every detail of the truth of the matter. Somehow GOD has truly been walking with me and above points, GOD literally taught me Himself but it has been a very painful process. I’m barely clinging onto hope and faith but our faithful Father only requires faith the size of a mustard seed. That is all I have and my eyes are fixed on GOD.
Been there / join a supportive church with a strong women and children’s ministry so you can have positive healthy relationships to support you and your child - I found it was the only way to sanity for me and my children - yes I got divorced and after 35 years he never changed - this video is spot on
@@christinarose244 I’m looking for one….. and yes, I agree they will never change. I’ve prayed and cried and now I’m numb…. I will keep fixing my eyes on GOD! And also the wisdom and discernment to know when to leave.
Should a woman stay with a man like this? Who is verbally abusive to his wife and even his daughter! He is mean and verbally and mentally abusive to them. 😢
In order to have the option to eat i will have to go back to the home of my cluster b evil "parents" who want to delete me. I also have a psychopath covert narcissist sister who is marriad & work in a respectful job in medical research, & she is satanic & always tried to destroy me & lied about me in front of my friends over the years. It gave her fuel of energy to try to detroy me. I remember her evilness towards me since a very young age, i didnt understand that, i thought that she is sub human. I tried for 3 or 4 years now after going no contact with them again & i went thru narcissistic abuse towards me at every workplace, & went to lots of interviews in different cities. i'm weak nowdays & loosing my hope. I dont understand why God let me to be in pain for many years now with no oppurtunity to change it, every door im trying to get in is closed at me. I cant take it anymore. God abandonded me. 😔
@@H0pe4All It sounds like you have a difficult and complicated life, which can’t be explained or resolved here, BUT God has not abandoned you! That is the enemy’s lie. Jesus is the true love and security you need. Respectfully, I think you would be greatly helped by learning more of His love by reading the eye witness accounts of His life . Imagine being there and understand His love is for you, too. I pray you will find the peace He offers in spite of circumstances. Hugs and ❤️
Lewis demonstrates the oft-associated exclusivity for which many people dislike the most judgmental and condescending of the Christian faith. The manner in which Lewis describes non-Christians and the gross generalizations he makes about their flaws and religious inferiority smacks of the very narcissism that he so highly and mightily proceeds to school everyone else about. It's unfortunate that he doesn't seem to see his own hypocrisy as he struggles to convince gullible followers that only he and God can provide the rest of us all the answers.
Gently I say that I think he is just elaborating on what the Bible says which really is an overall great guide on how to live even for someone who doesn’t believe in God. I don’t know the producers of this channel personally, but I’d guess & hope that they don’t feel they are “perfect”. We all fall short of the glory of God. I know I do. A lot. I’m only responding to you bc it sucks beyond words to feel judged. I hate it!! But I really don’t think the intent here is for you to feel judged, condemned, badly or guilty. And I don’t think God wants you to feel that way, either. I think He tries to tell us “Don’t do x,y,z bc it will hurt you & others. Try it this way instead so you can be happy, fruitful, have good relationships, etc. whatever the case may be. Anyway, I hope you have a great night & wish all good things for you. ❤
@@angelakeeney1911 Lewis clearly and wrongly stated that he had never or rarely met a non-Christian who recognized or loathed pride in themselves, thus implying that only Christians have the humility to do so. That in itself demonstrates Lewis's own pride, presumption of moral superiority and exclusive knowledge greater than any available to a non-Christian. The world has an extremely rich diversity of religious traditions, many of which would humble Lewis if he would take the time to objectively explore them. Instead, he appears to be on a perpetual course of disparaging all things non-Christian.
@@LimleyGilbert you’re right. I went back to look at it again & he did say that. I’m 53 & have been a Christian since I was a kid. I had NO IDEA I was prideful until this year. I thought, “I don’t care if I have more or less than anyone else or am prettier or smarter. Etc.” I didn’t realize all that pride meant. I’ve always thought I could handle everything on my own, MAKE things happen. Knock the doors down if I had to. I almost felt I was doing God a favor by doing this. But I didn’t bother to ask Him about any of it nor did I realize He wanted to help me. That He wanted me to depend on Him. In essence, I was playing God in my life. So, I didn’t realize I had this thing called pride until my world crashed around me & I NEEDED God’s help. I agree with you. There are many religions where people humble themselves to God. I think MOST Christians are well-intentioned but are either not educated enough (in the Bible & overall) &/or aren’t far enough along in their faith & end up saying offensive things. Oftentimes people just mix up or mess up what the Bible is saying. I know I feel offended & even hurt by fellow Christians sometimes. And I’m sure I’m guilty of doing it, too. From me to you, I’m sorry when we do this.
@@Spry011 Was that not what Lewis did first...accusing others of pride? Wasn't that what began this conversation? I didn't initially accuse anyone of anything. So there you have it.
This is a really important topic as far as I am concerned: my husband is a narcissistic individual & a malevolent one, at that! I pray every day, for peace & harmony in my home, because of the havoc he causes. From experience, I have learned that silence is my best defence. But it is so hard sometimes, to just shut up.

Oftentimes people just mix up or mess up what the Bible is saying. I know I feel offended & even hurt by fellow Christians sometimes. And I’m sure I’m guilty of doing it, too. From me to you, I’m sorry when we do this.
Defending pride by accusing another is pride. Maybe you should watch the video again and learn something.
@@Spry011 Was that not what Lewis did first...accusing others of pride? Wasn't that what began this conversation? I didn't initially accuse anyone of anything. So there you have it.
Thank you
