Greetings my beloved Cal Preachers! I was trembling before posting this video because I felt so exposed and vulnerable. The Lord has encouraged me to share this story because unfortunately MANY other people have suffered similar abuses. I pray this video will help even one person find some healing. Update: Since posting this video I have forgiven the predator that violated me. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I pray he knows Christ. Thank you for loving me to the cross and always walking me home. Peace of Christ! Chy 🌸
Sorry to hear but I am happy you chose the right path.💟 I fortunately were not SA as a child but my abuse was severe too. My faith and practising it close to obsession in my teens and 20's saved me. If I didn't spend that much time at my church and with our youth group, I'm sure I would have been a very different person today. The scars are there, even at age 50 I feel like I become that child again everytime I allow myself to think about what I went through as a little girl and in my teens.
@Honeybunch abuse of any kind at any age can tell us we’re unworthy and that we cannot trust our inner voice, and the inner voice is our God voice. Don’t believe the abuse. It is a liar. The blood of Christ sanctifies and makes whole. God love all of us. Shut down those painful echoes with your strong voice that says, God loves me!” ❤️
I was raped by my father starting at the age of 3 till 11 years old it’s so important that we tell these stories to support each other and make awareness your so brave ❤️
Chynna I hope you understand how the Lord is using you to bless others out there with every message you share. This video especially touched my heart with compassion for you, for others and for myself. The enemy wants us to stay in the pain of guilt and shame of whatever bad thing has happened to us in life. But the Cross wiped all that away. We need to remember this! God is great, loving, merciful and our Healer! Stay strong Stay your goofy wonderful beautiful kind self! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was 15 in 1969, was forcefully raped and I tucked it away. Blocked it out. I felt shame and blamed myself because I would wear a bikini like the other girls at our swimming hole and was too trusting. I thank God sweetie that you got away from that man because he could have killed you. Praise God! Hallelujah! BIG HUGS TO YOU sweet young lady!
Exactly what I was thinking. Some children are not so fortunate to get away. I was also one of the fortunate ones. It is an evil horror to have your innocence robbed from you. Christ restores our value as a child of God.🙂
It definitley didn't have anything to do with your bikini. These people are sick. The best thing for us as women to learn now, is to trust our gut and don't ignore it trying to be "nice" and if we are able, learn some form of self defence.
YUP! Sexually abused (raped) by my father from age 4 to 12. Repressed memories came to light in my 30s. Mom participated in his sin, she continues to deny my memories aka life. She has also convinced other family members that I am wrong. The sad thing is she believes she loves Jesus, yet has nothing to ask forgiveness for. She is the one I now pray for. I have no relationship with any of my siblings because of her. I am loved by our triune God and know the truth and the truth has set me free. Amen
That is why God is also the God of justice and righteousness. An forever awaits for those who love Him and will be brought into His glorious kingdom of light, and an eternity awaits those who have not repented before Him and those whom they’ve committed the evil to.
I decided when I was a child that I was not responsible for what happened to me and that when I grew up that my children would not have to suffer or experience any of these type of things. I am a Christian and have been saved. ❤
Chynna, it was NEVER your fault. Embrace that 6 year child in you and tell her she is safe, loved and made whole in the image of Christ. May God completely heal you - mind, body and spirit. And may you continue to flourish in your mission. Jesus so loves you and so do we. ❤
Yay! Asking for prayer for my hubby and myself. We are dealing with Covid issues right now. I would so appreciate any prayer right now. 🙏🏻 Thank you ahead of time!
Don't forget your Zinc, vitamin D and I would suggest taking what so many else have, Ivermectin. You can order it online. I just prayed for you!! God Bless!! ;)
I had a grandchild who had something similar happen to her. When I recognized that something had happened to her (she was just 15) and when I found that she was not willing to talk about it I took her to the ER and said to the male clerk at the window, "Something happened to my granddaughter--I don't know what but can you help her"? He read the fear on my face and said "yes, please go sit in the waiting room and a nurse will be right out to get her". Months later the man that had assaulted her went to Prison. If I had never brought her there she would be stilling living with the hurt and shame. Please, please don't forget that the ER to a child no matter if a teen or not is a place that you can ask for help for the child. They have teams of people that will gently get the truth. Don't ever let a child live with the guilt and shame, please. Furthermore, the sexual assault and victim of crimes agency through each State's Attorney General's Office will pay for the visit, subsequent psychological therapy and things that were destroyed or taken for evidence. My granddaughter had insurance. But, I think when she could buy back the clothes with money that the AG gave her (because they kept hers for evidence) was somewhat 'taking back the night' for her. It was giving the message that the big world understands that you lost your clothes in all of this and they believe you deserve everything you lost back. It empowered her. Not to say that she doesn't hurt from it all---she does---but she is not alone.
@@tatyanakol Thank you. I want to let people know that if they suspect that something has happened and the child is not at a point to tell. The hospitals have teams of people that get it out gently. They did help her. So if a parent or caretaker thinks it --- bring them to the hospital.
It wasn't your fault. He made the bad decision, you were a vulnerable 5 y/o. Whatever happened to that terrible man? Thank You beautiful lady! You shine! ❤
Kids always deny abuse. Always. We feel it's our fault. Abusers know this and they count on it. They know the misplaced guilt kids feel. Rise above. Allow your faith to heal you.
I was 10 and helping a senior man carry in his groceries. He grabbed me and rubbed my chest, tried to kiss me. I ran out and told my Mom right away, and she reported it to the police. My faith and love for God has helped me more than I can say. I do have peace of Christ. I’m perfectly imperfect and so are you. Plus I’m named after your Mom. ( My Dad was a huge fan😁)
Yup and I cried right along with you today. I also never told anyone. I can never thank God enough for sending his son to save my soul and for loving me. Peace of Christ!
I dealt with an incident when I was 7 years old, this was early 70s, at a friend's house, with her perverted uncle who liked to show my friend dirty magazines and dirty movies, she asked me one day if I wanted to watch a movie and I said okay cuz I didn't know what kind of movie she was talking about, so he set up the movie projector in the bedroom and while I was sitting on the floor at the end of the bed I look over and he's doing something, I won't say, I think you know, then he told my friend come on you promised, and I remember her kind of whining and saying no I don't want to I don't want to, and then after that I don't remember anything, whatever happened I blacked out, blanked it out. All I know is after that day I hated all men with beards, he had a beard. I don't remember seeing my friend too much after that, she was living there because her parents had split up, they may have got back together and then she moved away I never saw her again. Maybe this is too much information on here but, this is horrible whether anything happen to me or not, this is something that stays with you because it's so wrong. I don't think I told anybody about it because I felt ashamed and confused.
Y U P! But God 💯 Blessings, Love and Peace to you dear Sister in Christ. How I turned it around is I got inner healing from Jesus and now help others on their healing journeys. You are in my prayers. Thank you for your transparency it makes a difference. ❤
Chynna you are so loving and so brave. This is why God has brought you to Him so beautifully. He is so real to you because He wants you to know Him for real. You are such a beacon of the love and peace of Christ. God is definitely using you for such a time as this. Thank you for being available to Him and us. Love and hugs!!
HIS mercy and peace is renewed each morning! I have to tell myself this everyday because my mood waxes and wanes daily! So if I’m having that kinda day, I find comfort in this. 🙏❤️🇺🇸😊
Yep. My experience was in 1976 in California as 9 year old by a neighbor. When you talk about pride I remember the scripture…pride goeth before the fall.” Love you Chynna.
Yup. Chynna, I’ve watched your channel since near the beginning. I couldn’t not. Your unbridled vulnerability, - your incredible likability - are so magnetic. Most people especially in your position would not have the courage to take such risks. It’s wonderful to see your growing success. Many Blessings to you from ‘Sin City’ .
Yep and Wow! Chynna, God has anointed you to speak frankly about these things that many of us victims keep quiet about. Which allows the enemy to reign over those dark spots in our lives. That’s not okay and that is not what our loving Heavenly Father wants for us. He does want us set free!!! I think of my precious boy and if anyone molested him at the age of four. The age I was molested at. I would never hold him accountable. Never want him to hold on to guilt for being a victim. That’s how our Heavenly Father views us and so much more. Thank you for having the courage and faith to speak truth out loud. Bless you sister!
Bless you heart Chynna, because you connect in such an authentic way, your ministry is far more effective than most that are in “official” ministry. God bless you. Has Billy firgured out yet, that YOU are a minister? YIKES!
Yup! By a missionary in the church who is still spoken of somewhat fondly by some in my family because he led them to the Lord. I have forgiven all of them. The predator literally abused others for years and they are still struggling with the repercussions of not being believed by leaders in the church. Thanks for sharing your story Chynna!
Yup. A neighbour - for years. Didn’t disclose until I was in my 30s. Called a liar and attention seeker by my family. So grateful to have God and Jesus Christ in my life. 🙏🏼 Learning to love myself. Like you, Chynna, I wouldn’t let anyone treat me the way I treat myself.
Hi Chynna ❤ I just wanna say thank you for bein SO real! I suffer from anorexia bulimia 😞 I have absolutely 0 support!! I LOVE you're videos cause you're SO human and you're SO strong and I relate to you in so many ways! When I'm havin one of my "rough" days I watch one of your videos I fell SO peaceful Thank you Chynna. ❤
We are here for you. I did an interview with Chynna last year about my struggles with an eating disorder, I am here if you would like to pray, talk or for any support. ❤️
Chynna. I just can’t with your adorable, hilarious and quirky personality! It’s like you are some adorable alien from another planet (California)and I love it! Keep it up girl. Just by being yourself you are attracting and uplifting so many.
I was molested as a very young child too, even worse than what happened to me is what I was forced to watch happen to my baby sister. I tried to help her but was powerless. That abuser has spent decades gaslighting everyone over what happened and even some of the girls he abused have turned u to women who have trusted him with their children! So be proud of how far you’ve come, Chynna! You have faced it bravely and God promises that He will turn it ALL around for good. Not just some things, but ALL THINGS. That is miraculous ❤️
I am so sorry to hear about your pain and how it impacted your life. I can hear the little girl inside of you cry out from your child's heart. May the Lord bless you and keep you may the Lord shine his light his face upon you. Love and many hugs Chynna,
Related so much I had a friend in the neighborhood growing up who's much older half brother sa her, my situation and me over the course of a few months when he moved in with her parents. He was in his 20s and we were all younger than 10. My sister and my friend ended up telling and he was convicted and went to prison. I could never say anything because he was not my first abuser. My first was an older cousin and what I can remember it started when I was around 5. I blamed myself for years thinking something was really wrong with me because I had 2 men do things to me. I didn't even tell a soul till I told my best friend when I was 17. I have never said anything about the cousin. Thank you for sharing this. Some of us still can't bring ourselves to talk.
From Brene Brown “How do you let go of shame . You reach out and share your story. Talk to Yourself like you are talking to someone you Love .” You got this Chynna 💚🙏🎄
Chynna, thank you for this powerful video. A very similar thing happened to me with an uncle when I was eight. I didn't tell my mother until I was 28 because I thought no one would believe me. At the time, I knew something was wrong with him, but I didn't think the other adults in the family would see it that way. So, I kept a dangerous secret and my two female cousins were preyed on by him a few years later, unfortunately.
I once asked my self would you treat other people the way you treat your self and I was looking in the mirror and I saw my self as a little girl and I just started bawling telling my self I am so sorry I treated you that way . Thank you for the reminder
Again, I cried with you. I did not remember what my grandfather did to me until I was 52, and my dreams began to bring it up (that and my now relationship). I had loved my Papa thinking he was the one man who saved me! He died many yrs ago, and I have mixed feelings about him now. Hearing your story was heartbreaking! What a fallen world, but I do believe God cares very much and I love and hear your message that it wasn’t our fault. And to love the child within us. I know God loves us so tenderly. Thank you so much for sharing your story! It helps to know we’re not alone❤️. Thanks for being here with us. Peace of Christ🎄!
You didn't make a bad decision, a predator took advantage of you. That was not your fault. I am so sad that happened to you. Thanks for sharing your experience because you are reaching others who have also been through it. Much love to you
Thank you for sharing! I was 7 when I was sexually assaulted. All of these years later (almost 40 years) , I still am healing. I know it was nothing but God that saved my life that day, and it was his grace and mercy that has kept me sane.
So sorry Chynna. Through your pain you are helping others who have been through the same thing. You have been through so much but are willing to help others through your pain. Keep going for Jesus.
Yup. Same and at the same age. About 6 or 7. Babysitter's father molested me in her home. I thought I "told" my mother what happened, but she did nothing. Maybe I didn't use the right words to describe what happened but learned I was to be responsible for myself and to not make stupid mistakes. Don't do things to put yourself in those situations. I confronted my mom decades later. She claimed she did not know what had happened. I don't know. But your video made the tears flow this morning. Have thought about that man since. He and his wife ran a nursery school in their home. No doubt he did the same things to other little girls.
Yup! There was a man like that in my neighborhood but he showed cartoons on a movie projector. (This was in the 50s.) I was not allowed to go to his house but disobeyed one day. I remember he put me on his lap and was putting his hand under my shirt while we were all watching cartoons. No more happened but worse things were happening to other kids and he was finally arrested. Chynna, you were only six! Six year olds make bad decisions. I did too. So sorry that happened to you and I'm glad you finally told your grandmother. Thanks for sharing it with us. Love you sweetie!
😭😭 I was raped at 16 from a first time boyfriend I was paralyzed and could not seem to move or push him off me I just froze … then his uncle came into the bed and I was TERRIFIED.. thankfully he didn’t violate me also.I’ve never had that kind of fear. Tragically it was my first sexual experience that ended in another traumatic experience… abortion😞 Without Jesus, I would not have chosen to live this far in life. Ty for your open honesty💜
Chynna, I feel like you're my friend. You can tell me anything. I'm sorry for those bad memories, but it is good to talk about them. Love from Michigan ❤️
I have taken something positive from this tonight I have been saddened at recent ex reality family abuse trial I have my own story and I also have a strong faith and you have given me a sighn to keep close to my Lord and to pray more often. Know your worth you are a lovely kind helpful lady. As always a kindness hug 🤗 from Scotland ❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗🌈🌈🌈
Around the same time, around 1975 when I was maybe a year older than you, I was nearly abducted along with my friend Eddie in front of our home when a guy in a car told us to get in the car, and we said no! He started to proceed to get out of the car and we ran and knowing that we were within inches of our home he fled. It turned out to be a major child molester so a dodged that bullet really quick! I was told from the time I was five to be very wary of strangers and never to go into a strangers home or car
Chynna, every story you share, every life altering sad memory, every joyous time in your life or families lives .....IS ONLY a TRUE BLESSING from God & continues to make you a stronger, wonderful person and soul ! Not only in the Lord's eyes, but in the eyes of us ( your fans / subscribers )!💙💙🙏🙏 Peace of Christ😘
Yup. You're so right about the enemy wanting us to dwell on our past mistakes. Thank you so much for pointing that out. I needed to hear that. I look at the pictures when you were a little girl and I see such a beautiful little innocent girl. With all the evil that is being exposed right now we really need to support each other so we can stand strong. Thank you so much for sharing your vulnerability with us. It gives us strength to stand firm too. God bless you, Chynna Phillips Baldwin!
Yup...The first person I ever told was my husband. I was probably 26 years old. He said he sort of knew something had happened because I was SO over-protective with our children. Hugs, Chynna. I am so sorry that happened to you, me, and anyone/everyone that has been abused.
This really resonated with me. My trauma went on for years as a child. I do believe that believing in Christ finally led me to give compassion to my younger self. When we pray for forgiveness for being victims we can give the compassion to others that Jesus says we can. Thank you so much for this video. God bless 🙌
I was abused by a beloved handicapped neighbor for years. I can relate to your feelings of shame. It's a lifelong journey even through Jesus' love. My parents both passed away not knowing about the abuse because sex was a taboo subject until their deaths. It happened in the 60s and I was able to confront him in a situation where I felt safe. It helped, but the resentment that my parents would never protect me. Since my Mom passed last year I have been able to think of myself as a survivor and the abuse as a physical assault. Even with God's love we have our moments of difficulty. But sharing with others and prayer give me strength every day. Love your vids. Just recently discovered you. Love when Billy is there too! God bless 🙏
Thank you for sharing- my mother shared a similar story with me - she kept it a secret her whole life. I’m so glad she trusted me with her secret and I I’m glad I loved her through the last few years of her life’s pain. She passed into glory on 1/6/21 and next to Jesus she was my best friend.
When I was 7 I was sitting alone on the school steps waiting for my sister to pick me up. A man appeared from nowhere and asked me to deliver a message to a house down the road and I was going to do it when I saw my sister running up the road for me. The man disappeared. Thank you Jesus for my guardian angel that day 🙏
Chynna, something similar happened to me at the very same age only it was by a male family member. I never told anyone cause like you, I felt it was my fault and nobody would believe me. I was a shy quiet child and this person knew I’d never tell what was done. At the age of about 28, I blurted it out to my Mom not meaning too after seeing something similar on tv. And I cried about it for the first time ever out loud. I carried shame for so many years never feeling good about myself. But my Mom believed me and told me I should have told her and my Dad. That it was not my fault. It’s something you carry with you as the child when you see yourself in the mirror even as an adult. God got me through it I know. Thanks for sharing Chynna, I know it was not easy.
So sorry you had to experience this at a very young age. We all have secrets unfortunately. As time goes on we try to work out the event's in our mind. We can't control the past, however our eyes and mind are open to help others that may need assistance to talk about events that may have affected their life. (My cats took down my tree 🎄 already, Tilted now.) Take care!
Awwwe Chynna, sweet sister in Christ, my heart goes out to you!😌 I love how the Holy spirit speaks through your precious heart! Merry Christmas from my home to yours✝️❤️
Yup!! This my dear girl is exactly what you are here for. Now you’re preaching!! Thank you! My soul resonates with every word. I’m hugging you in my heart!! Hallelujah!!
Yup! Thank you for this. I was 6 years old and I am now 62. He was the 18 year old brother of a childhood friend and I was sleeping over. The parents weren’t home. He invited us to watch tv in his room and insisted that he lie in between us. My friend was crying no that she wanted to be in the middle. I assumed because she was my close friend but now believe she was protecting me. I have prayed that the Holy Spirit has moved this man to pray for forgiveness and that he is a Chr
Yep. I am and have been really hard on myself thinking that it was God being hard on me. I am not a mystical person nor charismatic anymore, but I am a Christian. I remember having such a healing dream where I was in my childhood home as me, an adult, and I saw my child self and I hugged her and it was so healing and comforting to me. I will alway remember that dream. That was me having compassion on myself as a child. Thank you for being so brave to share this Chynna. Peace of Christ. God bless you.
My husband has been in hospital since Fri. He was so sick, endocarditis. His kidneys compromised with scans and contrasts, labored breathing, disoriented & confused. Yesterday he improved and today it is little bit better. Praise God. Many people praying for him. Thank you, Jesus.
YUPx4 I didn't tell anyone until I was an adult and they didn't believe me,said I was just trying to cause trouble. Thankyou Chynna for being such an inspiration to others and me, even though I am almost 80.!!! You are an angel 😇
Chynna, I'm so sorry that happened to you. I was sexually abused as a child also. I won't share details here but like your grandmother, family members knew what happened to me and didn't stop it. I kept it a secret and was in my 20s when I started talking about it. There are so many emotions that accompany the incident and for me betrayal and neglect were the major ones I dealt with when my healing began. You're so right that we must give our inner child compassion. That's how we begin to heal and forgive Big hugs and much love and gratitude to you for sharing. ❤️Season's Greetings💚 to you and Billy and your family. 💜🙏💙
According to research (Gabor Mate’) it’s not so much the actual violating act that is so damaging to children, it’s the cloak of shame and secrecy which follows that causes On going trauma. This makes sense, every time the memory comes up to be processed, it gets squelched back down into the hidden place of denial, shame and covering-up which is often encouraged by those who are supposed to be protecting us.
@@5thdimension625 Thank you for sharing this. I agree; especially with the last part of your comment, which is what I meant about betrayal and neglect.
@@CrystalTwinStar Crystal, I apologize for not saying thank you for your post and sharing your experience. I wish you continued healing and good health. XO
Yup, sad but my abusers were family members. I was even younger. Aunts and mother protected my abusers and told everyone there was something wrong with me! I am 68 and still suffer.
I'm so sorry for your pain and suffering you have experienced. I pray that you will be restored in your spirit, soul, and body. (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24)
Listen to Derek Prince’s teachings on deliverance and forgiveness. I believe they will help you tremendously. I too was abused by family members at a very young age but no one knew about it. You don’t have to suffer from what happened and you can be free in Christ! ❤️
You still suffer because you have not forgiven. Whatever you do do not die with that spirit of unforgivness still in you. What else are you waiting for?
Chynna I was abused by my grandfather for a 1 1/2 years I know how you feel but I had to forgive my grandfather to live a true Christian life to get freedom to carry on living I now can talk about it as the Lord brought me through the fire and I can share what happened but I know how you feel Chynna your not alone
I think the reason that we beat ourselves up and have guilt ridden consciences about these things is because they leave us feeling dirty and shameful, therefore, we think that we are dirty and shameful. We are not.. As children we are not capable of even comprehending it, let alone having the tools to know how to say no to an adult and call them out on their crimes. When an adult does inappropriate things to us as children, we are so shocked and embarrassed that we freeze. If we were adults, they wouldn't have dared. The shame and guilt is purely on them.. Love yourself Chynna and drop the shame and guilt where it belongs. x
Your tree is so pretty Chynna! Blessings dear girl…..I’m sorry this happened to you as a small child. There are too many evil creeps in this world. We need to teach our children how to avoid these possible situations. God bless you! 💕
All your life, the enemy has tried to stop you, back you in a corner and make you feel alone and abandoned all because he saw you as a threat and knew that someday you’d be a champion in spreading God’s love. The man who did that to you was a pawn in satan’s plan to destroy you-but it didn’t work. God’s blessings to you and thank you for your sermons.
Now that is truth! The enemy tried to stop what he knew would be a powerful force for Jesus Christ---you, Chynna Phillips. he(the enemy) knew you would bring truth and wisdom to countless hurting hearts and he(the enemy) tried to stop you. Praise and thank the Lord for not letting him(the enemy) destroy you and for raising you up to be a mighty voice for Christ! Thank you for your witness and boldness in preaching and living Christ and for how you persevere even when it is difficult! Praying for your continued healing and for the healing of so many others who were similarly abused/assaulted. As someone already commented... The enemy meant it for evil in your life but God thru Jesus Christ can turn it to good and use it for His glory thru your life. It was not your fault! You are ALL precious and dearly loved! God bless and Peace of Christ to ALL❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There were so many innocent and unprotected children victimized by the oversexualized culture of the past half century, but this story is as old as the ages. I had an elderly woman friend who described being violated by her stepfather at age 12 and how that resulted in her becoming pregnant with her only child. That would have been about 1927. What’s so incredible is that these horrors to which girls and women have always been subjected cross all socioeconomic boundaries. I hope your grandmother never let you out of her sight after that, because this was completely a parental responsibility issue, not your bad decision.
Unfortunately, yep. I was 6 or 7 & it was a teenage girl in my neighborhood. Also, the son of our next door neighbor who was babysitting me. Like you, I didn’t say a word about it. Jesus has poured His healing & mercy over the memories. Now days we teach our kids specifically about these kinds of dangers & safe touch, etc. In past decades this wasn’t so much the case.
Yup, been there my bible babe at about the same age, and had a similiar response as you did. Please pray for me. Thank you for sharing your testimony with us.
Greetings my beloved Cal Preachers!
I was trembling before posting this video because I felt so exposed and vulnerable.
The Lord has encouraged me to share this story because unfortunately MANY other people have suffered similar abuses. I pray this video will help even one person find some healing.
Update: Since posting this video I have forgiven the predator that violated me. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I pray he knows Christ.
Thank you for loving me to the cross and always walking me home.
Peace of Christ!
Chy 🌸
Thank you for your courage…so sorry that happened to you. Praying for all who have experienced such evil.
Yup !! 😢🥲
Awe chynna don’t cry, your courage is contagious xoxox
Love you Chy.
Chynna you read my mail EVERY TIME!....YUUUUUUP 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Just love how Jesus is using you as the Holy Spirit activates! Bless you and Billy 💕
I was a broken little girl as well.. and Jesus has healed me .. just like He healed you … ♥️♥️♥️
Sorry to hear but I am happy you chose the right path.💟
I fortunately were not SA as a child but my abuse was severe too. My faith and practising it close to obsession in my teens and 20's saved me. If I didn't spend that much time at my church and with our youth group, I'm sure I would have been a very different person today. The scars are there, even at age 50 I feel like I become that child again everytime I allow myself to think about what I went through as a little girl and in my teens.
@Honeybunch abuse of any kind at any age can tell us we’re unworthy and that we cannot trust our inner voice, and the inner voice is our God voice. Don’t believe the abuse. It is a liar. The blood of Christ sanctifies and makes whole. God love all of us. Shut down those painful echoes with your strong voice that says, God loves me!” ❤️
Me*2 🌹
Beautiful testimony in that one sentence. Yes. 💞🙏🏼🙏🏼💞
Praise God for his love and healing
I was raped by my father starting at the age of 3 till 11 years old it’s so important that we tell these stories to support each other and make awareness your so brave ❤️
I pray he received justice…… Godly justice
So sorry that happened to you.. I cannot imagine going through anything that horrific..God bless..❤🙏
Love of ABBA
our glorious father over you always !!!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🌸
Chynna I hope you understand how the Lord is using you to bless others out there with every message you share. This video especially touched my heart with compassion for you, for others and for myself. The enemy wants us to stay in the pain of guilt and shame of whatever bad thing has happened to us in life. But the Cross wiped all that away. We need to remember this! God is great, loving, merciful and our Healer! Stay strong Stay your goofy wonderful beautiful kind self! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Praying for healing for anyone who has suffered trauma.
In Jesus' name, I'm in agreement. Amen.
Yup,CPTSD.💕✌️🙏🏼
Praying that people learn the difference between life and trauma.
Yes, I pray you found/accept Jesus,and he will help you through anything!!!! 🙏
I was 15 in 1969, was forcefully raped and I tucked it away. Blocked it out. I felt shame and blamed myself because I would wear a bikini like the other girls at our swimming hole and was too trusting. I thank God sweetie that you got away from that man because he could have killed you. Praise God! Hallelujah! BIG HUGS TO YOU sweet young lady!
Exactly what I was thinking. Some children are not so fortunate to get away. I was also one of the fortunate ones.
It is an evil horror to have your innocence robbed from you.
Christ restores our value as a child of God.🙂
It definitley didn't have anything to do with your bikini. These people are sick. The best thing for us as women to learn now, is to trust our gut and don't ignore it trying to be "nice" and if we are able, learn some form of self defence.
So sad that there are sick people out there that prey on innocent people.
I hope you are okay and you haven't suffered and blamed yourself all your life.
YUP! Sexually abused (raped) by my father from age 4 to 12. Repressed memories came to light in my 30s. Mom participated in his sin, she continues to deny my memories aka life. She has also convinced other family members that I am wrong. The sad thing is she believes she loves Jesus, yet has nothing to ask forgiveness for. She is the one I now pray for. I have no relationship with any of my siblings because of her. I am loved by our triune God and know the truth and the truth has set me free. Amen
Wow, what a sad story, so sorry for you! 🙏for healing and restoration, in the name of Jesus🙏🙏❤️
That is why God is also the God of justice and righteousness. An forever awaits for those who love Him and will be brought into His glorious kingdom of light, and an eternity awaits those who have not repented before Him and those whom they’ve committed the evil to.
I decided when I was a child that I was not responsible for what happened to me and that when I grew up that my children would not have to suffer or experience any of these type of things. I am a Christian and have been saved. ❤
Chynna, it was NEVER your fault. Embrace that 6 year child in you and tell her she is safe, loved and made whole in the image of Christ. May God completely heal you - mind, body and spirit. And may you continue to flourish in your mission. Jesus so loves you and so do we. ❤
Amen 🙏
This is such a good reminder to be so weary for my little kids... I really need to watch them and train them to have discernment. Thank you, Chyna 💓
Teach them young about appropriate and inappropriate behavior!! Even for teens as well!!
most definitely!
I told my kids one main thing: there is no secrets between big people and little people, ever.
Yay! Asking for prayer for my hubby and myself. We are dealing with Covid issues right now. I would so appreciate any prayer right now. 🙏🏻 Thank you ahead of time!
Don't forget your Zinc, vitamin D and I would suggest taking what so many else have, Ivermectin. You can order it online. I just prayed for you!! God Bless!! ;)
Ivermectin works if u can take it in the first 3-4 days I'm hearing. Same with hydroxichloriquine (sp.)
Praying for you and your husband
🙏🙏🙏

I had a grandchild who had something similar happen to her. When I recognized that something had happened to her (she was just 15) and when I found that she was not willing to talk about it I took her to the ER and said to the male clerk at the window, "Something happened to my granddaughter--I don't know what but can you help her"? He read the fear on my face and said "yes, please go sit in the waiting room and a nurse will be right out to get her". Months later the man that had assaulted her went to Prison. If I had never brought her there she would be stilling living with the hurt and shame. Please, please don't forget that the ER to a child no matter if a teen or not is a place that you can ask for help for the child. They have teams of people that will gently get the truth. Don't ever let a child live with the guilt and shame, please. Furthermore, the sexual assault and victim of crimes agency through each State's Attorney General's Office will pay for the visit, subsequent psychological therapy and things that were destroyed or taken for evidence. My granddaughter had insurance. But, I think when she could buy back the clothes with money that the AG gave her (because they kept hers for evidence) was somewhat 'taking back the night' for her. It was giving the message that the big world understands that you lost your clothes in all of this and they believe you deserve everything you lost back. It empowered her. Not to say that she doesn't hurt from it all---she does---but she is not alone.
Thank you for being there and helping your grandchild.
@@tatyanakol Thank you. I want to let people know that if they suspect that something has happened and the child is not at a point to tell. The hospitals have teams of people that get it out gently. They did help her. So if a parent or caretaker thinks it --- bring them to the hospital.
It wasn't your fault. He made the bad decision, you were a vulnerable 5 y/o. Whatever happened to that terrible man? Thank You beautiful lady! You shine! ❤
I am sorry for anyone that had to go through any abuse or trauma. Praying for God's healing to anyone that needs it.
Kids always deny abuse. Always. We feel it's our fault. Abusers know this and they count on it. They know the misplaced guilt kids feel. Rise above. Allow your faith to heal you.
You are so brave to share this-it hurts my heart to listen to this... When you meet Jesus face to face all those tears will be wiped away.
I was 10 and helping a senior man carry in his groceries. He grabbed me and rubbed my chest, tried to kiss me. I ran out and told my Mom right away, and she reported it to the police. My faith and love for God has helped me more than I can say. I do have peace of Christ. I’m perfectly imperfect and so are you. Plus I’m named after your Mom. ( My Dad was a huge fan😁)
Yup and I cried right along with you today. I also never told anyone. I can never thank God enough for sending his son to save my soul and for loving me. Peace of Christ!
Children do not make bad decisions, adults do.
Chynna, your inner child is being healed by sharing your story!
I dealt with an incident when I was 7 years old, this was early 70s, at a friend's house, with her perverted uncle who liked to show my friend dirty magazines and dirty movies, she asked me one day if I wanted to watch a movie and I said okay cuz I didn't know what kind of movie she was talking about, so he set up the movie projector in the bedroom and while I was sitting on the floor at the end of the bed I look over and he's doing something, I won't say, I think you know, then he told my friend come on you promised, and I remember her kind of whining and saying no I don't want to I don't want to, and then after that I don't remember anything, whatever happened I blacked out, blanked it out. All I know is after that day I hated all men with beards, he had a beard. I don't remember seeing my friend too much after that, she was living there because her parents had split up, they may have got back together and then she moved away I never saw her again. Maybe this is too much information on here but, this is horrible whether anything happen to me or not, this is something that stays with you because it's so wrong. I don't think I told anybody about it because I felt ashamed and confused.
Don't worry, we get it, it's horrible. Pray for your friend, pray for the whole thing. Peace.
I love you Chynna. Your videos are helping me through a really tough time right now. Thank you. ❤️
Y U P! But God 💯 Blessings, Love and Peace to you dear Sister in Christ. How I turned it around is I got inner healing from Jesus and now help others on their healing journeys. You are in my prayers. Thank you for your transparency it makes a difference. ❤
Chynna you are so loving and so brave. This is why God has brought you to Him so beautifully. He is so real to you because He wants you to know Him for real. You are such a beacon of the love and peace of Christ. God is definitely using you for such a time as this. Thank you for being available to Him and us. Love and hugs!!
HIS mercy and peace is renewed each morning! I have to tell myself this everyday because my mood waxes and wanes daily! So if I’m having that kinda day, I find comfort in this. 🙏❤️🇺🇸😊
You singing that acapella gave me chills. God bless you.
Yep. My experience was in 1976 in California as 9 year old by a neighbor. When you talk about pride I remember the scripture…pride goeth before the fall.” Love you Chynna.
Yup. Chynna, I’ve watched your channel since near the beginning. I couldn’t not. Your unbridled vulnerability, - your incredible likability - are so magnetic. Most people especially in your position would not have the courage to take such risks. It’s wonderful to see your growing success. Many Blessings to you from ‘Sin City’ .
Yep and Wow! Chynna, God has anointed you to speak frankly about these things that many of us victims keep quiet about. Which allows the enemy to reign over those dark spots in our lives. That’s not okay and that is not what our loving Heavenly Father wants for us. He does want us set free!!! I think of my precious boy and if anyone molested him at the age of four. The age I was molested at. I would never hold him accountable. Never want him to hold on to guilt for being a victim. That’s how our Heavenly Father views us and so much more. Thank you for having the courage and faith to speak truth out loud. Bless you sister!
Hi Chynna. Thank you so much. I was five. We never forgive ourselves. It is so hard! Peace of Christ.
Bless you heart Chynna, because you connect in such an authentic way, your ministry is far more effective than most that are in “official” ministry. God bless you.
Has Billy firgured out yet, that YOU are a minister? YIKES!
Yup! By a missionary in the church who is still spoken of somewhat fondly by some in my family because he led them to the Lord. I have forgiven all of them. The predator literally abused others for years and they are still struggling with the repercussions of not being believed by leaders in the church.
Thanks for sharing your story Chynna!
Oh my gosh thats shocking and awful
Yup. A neighbour - for years. Didn’t disclose until I was in my 30s. Called a liar and attention seeker by my family. So grateful to have God and Jesus Christ in my life. 🙏🏼
Learning to love myself. Like you, Chynna, I wouldn’t let anyone treat me the way I treat myself.
Hi Chynna ❤ I just wanna say thank you for bein SO real! I suffer from anorexia bulimia 😞 I have absolutely 0 support!! I LOVE you're videos cause you're SO human and you're SO strong and I relate to you in so many ways! When I'm havin one of my "rough" days I watch one of your videos I fell SO peaceful
Thank you Chynna. ❤
Sending you hugs & asking God to restore your health. 🙏
@@OGGlamma Thank you very much ❤ I appreciate your kind words!!
praying for you I had anorexia as a teen
@@tonyacook8966 You're welcome. 🥰
We are here for you. I did an interview with Chynna last year about my struggles with an eating disorder, I am here if you would like to pray, talk or for any support. ❤️
Chynna. I just can’t with your adorable, hilarious and quirky personality! It’s like you are some adorable alien from another planet (California)and I love it! Keep it up girl. Just by being yourself you are attracting and uplifting so many.
Ditto !!
“Where Are You” spoke to me in 1992 and it still does to this day. Thanks for sharing your story. ❤️XO
You know, Chyna, your testimony just liberated a whole bunch of folks.
I was molested as a very young child too, even worse than what happened to me is what I was forced to watch happen to my baby sister. I tried to help her but was powerless. That abuser has spent decades gaslighting everyone over what happened and even some of the girls he abused have turned u to women who have trusted him with their children! So be proud of how far you’ve come, Chynna! You have faced it bravely and God promises that He will turn it ALL around for good. Not just some things, but ALL THINGS. That is miraculous ❤️
Yep neighbor boy did things to me very young...Jesus heals, I'm thankful for that every day 🙏
I am so sorry to hear about your pain and how it impacted your life. I can hear the little girl inside of you cry out from your child's heart. May the Lord bless you and keep you may the Lord shine his light his face upon you. Love and many hugs Chynna,
Related so much I had a friend in the neighborhood growing up who's much older half brother sa her, my situation and me over the course of a few months when he moved in with her parents. He was in his 20s and we were all younger than 10. My sister and my friend ended up telling and he was convicted and went to prison. I could never say anything because he was not my first abuser. My first was an older cousin and what I can remember it started when I was around 5. I blamed myself for years thinking something was really wrong with me because I had 2 men do things to me. I didn't even tell a soul till I told my best friend when I was 17. I have never said anything about the cousin. Thank you for sharing this. Some of us still can't bring ourselves to talk.
Yup, unfortunately. Wishing everybody healing who has experienced the same xxxx
💖 ~ Romans 5:3
“ not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance.”
From Brene Brown
“How do you let go of shame .
You reach out and share your story.
Talk to Yourself like you are talking to someone you Love .”
You got this Chynna
💚🙏🎄
Chynna, thank you for this powerful video. A very similar thing happened to me with an uncle when I was eight. I didn't tell my mother until I was 28 because I thought no one would believe me. At the time, I knew something was wrong with him, but I didn't think the other adults in the family would see it that way. So, I kept a dangerous secret and my two female cousins were preyed on by him a few years later, unfortunately.
I once asked my self would you treat other people the way you treat your self and I was looking in the mirror and I saw my self as a little girl and I just started bawling telling my self I am so sorry I treated you that way . Thank you for the reminder
You were a baby! I was raised on a Christian home, my parents were true Christian’s. Bless you Chynna, you do have a pure heart!
Again, I cried with you. I did not remember what my grandfather did to me until I was 52, and my dreams began to bring it up (that and my now relationship). I had loved my Papa thinking he was the one man who saved me! He died many yrs ago, and I have mixed feelings about him now. Hearing your story was heartbreaking! What a fallen world, but I do believe God cares very much and I love and hear your message that it wasn’t our fault. And to love the child within us. I know God loves us so tenderly. Thank you so much for sharing your story! It helps to know we’re not alone❤️. Thanks for being here with us. Peace of Christ🎄!
The message I didn't know I needed today. As a fellow survivor, I'm sorry that happened to you. Thank u for sharing.
You didn't make a bad decision, a predator took advantage of you. That was not your fault. I am so sad that happened to you. Thanks for sharing your experience because you are reaching others who have also been through it. Much love to you
Chynna, you’re my church. You’re helping me. Thanks so much for that!🥰
YUP! Peace of Christ for us all! 🙏
Thank you for sharing! I was 7 when I was sexually assaulted. All of these years later (almost 40 years) , I still am healing. I know it was nothing but God that saved my life that day, and it was his grace and mercy that has kept me sane.
I think you are such an angel for telling your story, Chynna. Your audience (US ALL!!) LOVES YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU.
So sorry Chynna. Through your pain you are helping others who have been through the same thing. You have been through so much but are willing to help others through your pain. Keep going for Jesus.
Mike Nesmith died today and I am very sad about this - the world will really be over one day soon.
Yup. Same and at the same age. About 6 or 7. Babysitter's father molested me in her home. I thought I "told" my mother what happened, but she did nothing. Maybe I didn't use the right words to describe what happened but learned I was to be responsible for myself and to not make stupid mistakes. Don't do things to put yourself in those situations. I confronted my mom decades later. She claimed she did not know what had happened. I don't know. But your video made the tears flow this morning. Have thought about that man since. He and his wife ran a nursery school in their home. No doubt he did the same things to other little girls.
Amen Cal Preach!!! We can do life because of you too. Thank you for walking us home!!!!
Yup! There was a man like that in my neighborhood but he showed cartoons on a movie projector. (This was in the 50s.) I was not allowed to go to his house but disobeyed one day. I remember he put me on his lap and was putting his hand under my shirt while we were all watching cartoons. No more happened but worse things were happening to other kids and he was finally arrested. Chynna, you were only six! Six year olds make bad decisions. I did too. So sorry that happened to you and I'm glad you finally told your grandmother. Thanks for sharing it with us. Love you sweetie!
😭😭 I was raped at 16 from a first time boyfriend I was paralyzed and could not seem to move or push him off me I just froze … then his uncle came into the bed and I was TERRIFIED.. thankfully he didn’t violate me also.I’ve never had that kind of fear.
Tragically it was my first sexual experience that ended in another traumatic experience… abortion😞
Without Jesus, I would not have chosen to live this far in life. Ty for your open honesty💜
Chynna,
I feel like you're my friend.
You can tell me anything.
I'm sorry for those bad memories, but it is good to talk about them.
Love from Michigan ❤️
Yup!!! Love and compassion!!! For you Chynna!!! So many have these wounds!!!😥❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏
I have taken something positive from this tonight I have been saddened at recent ex reality family abuse trial I have my own story and I also have a strong faith and you have given me a sighn to keep close to my Lord and to pray more often. Know your worth you are a lovely kind helpful lady. As always a kindness hug 🤗 from Scotland ❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗🌈🌈🌈
Around the same time, around 1975 when I was maybe a year older than you, I was nearly abducted along with my friend Eddie in front of our home when a guy in a car told us to get in the car, and we said no! He started to proceed to get out of the car and we ran and knowing that we were within inches of our home he fled. It turned out to be a major child molester so a dodged that bullet really quick! I was told from the time I was five to be very wary of strangers and never to go into a strangers home or car
I'am so deeply sorry that happened to you, beautiful soul 💛
Chynna, every story you share, every life altering sad memory, every joyous time in your life or families lives .....IS ONLY a TRUE BLESSING from God & continues to make you a stronger, wonderful person and soul ! Not only in the Lord's eyes, but in the eyes of us ( your fans / subscribers )!💙💙🙏🙏 Peace of Christ😘
Yup. You're so right about the enemy wanting us to dwell on our past mistakes. Thank you so much for pointing that out. I needed to hear that. I look at the pictures when you were a little girl and I see such a beautiful little innocent girl. With all the evil that is being exposed right now we really need to support each other so we can stand strong. Thank you so much for sharing your vulnerability with us. It gives us strength to stand firm too. God bless you, Chynna Phillips Baldwin!
Yup...The first person I ever told was my husband. I was probably 26 years old. He said he sort of knew something had happened because I was SO over-protective with our children. Hugs, Chynna. I am so sorry that happened to you, me, and anyone/everyone that has been abused.
Yup! So thankful for our loving Lord who is always at work & still healing all of our hurts. Thank you sis I needed this!!!!✝️🕊💜
This really resonated with me. My trauma went on for years as a child. I do believe that believing in Christ finally led me to give compassion to my younger self. When we pray for forgiveness for being victims we can give the compassion to others that Jesus says we can. Thank you so much for this video. God bless 🙌
Thank you for your honesty. It helps victims know they are not to blame. Well done Chynna!!!!
I was abused by a beloved handicapped neighbor for years. I can relate to your feelings of shame. It's a lifelong journey even through Jesus' love. My parents both passed away not knowing about the abuse because sex was a taboo subject until their deaths. It happened in the 60s and I was able to confront him in a situation where I felt safe. It helped, but the resentment that my parents would never protect me. Since my Mom passed last year I have been able to think of myself as a survivor and the abuse as a physical assault. Even with God's love we have our moments of difficulty. But sharing with others and prayer give me strength every day. Love your vids. Just recently discovered you. Love when Billy is there too! God bless 🙏
Thank you for sharing- my mother shared a similar story with me - she kept it a secret her whole life. I’m so glad she trusted me with her secret and I I’m glad I loved her through the last few years of her life’s pain. She passed into glory on 1/6/21 and next to Jesus she was my best friend.
When I was 7 I was sitting alone on the school steps waiting for my sister to pick me up. A man appeared from nowhere and asked me to deliver a message to a house down the road and I was going to do it when I saw my sister running up the road for me. The man disappeared. Thank you Jesus for my guardian angel that day 🙏
I am so glad the Lord is our healer through the most difficult hard times.
Chynna, something similar happened to me at the very same age only it was by a male family member. I never told anyone cause like you, I felt it was my fault and nobody would believe me. I was a shy quiet child and this person knew I’d never tell what was done. At the age of about 28, I blurted it out to my Mom not meaning too after seeing something similar on tv. And I cried about it for the first time ever out loud. I carried shame for so many years never feeling good about myself. But my Mom believed me and told me I should have told her and my Dad. That it was not my fault. It’s something you carry with you as the child when you see yourself in the mirror even as an adult. God got me through it I know. Thanks for sharing Chynna, I know it was not easy.
I am glad you told us and got this weight lifted off your shoulders, instead of keeping it bottled up inside eating away at you.
So sorry you had to experience this at a very young age. We all have secrets unfortunately. As time goes on we try to work out the event's in our mind. We can't control the past, however our eyes and mind are open to help others that may need assistance to talk about events that may have affected their life. (My cats took down my tree 🎄 already, Tilted now.) Take care!
Awwwe Chynna, sweet sister in Christ, my heart goes out to you!😌 I love how the Holy spirit speaks through your precious heart! Merry Christmas from my home to yours✝️❤️
Yup!! This my dear girl is exactly what you are here for. Now you’re preaching!! Thank you! My soul resonates with every word. I’m hugging you in my heart!! Hallelujah!!
Love “ my soul resonates with every word”. 💕
YUP, and I hear you. It was a long time before I realized the shame was not mine to carry, nor is it yours. God bless you for sharing your story.
God protected you. So glad you ran! Angels protecting us. Thank Jesus. Glad you have been able to get counseling. Peace of Christ.
Yup! Thank you for this. I was 6 years old and I am now 62. He was the 18 year old brother of a childhood friend and I was sleeping over. The parents weren’t home. He invited us to watch tv in his room and insisted that he lie in between us. My friend was crying no that she wanted to be in the middle. I assumed because she was my close friend but now believe she was protecting me. I have prayed that the Holy Spirit has moved this man to pray for forgiveness and that he is a Chr
A Christian now. God Bless you
Yep. I am and have been really hard on myself thinking that it was God being hard on me. I am not a mystical person nor charismatic anymore, but I am a Christian. I remember having such a healing dream where I was in my childhood home as me, an adult, and I saw my child self and I hugged her and it was so healing and comforting to me. I will alway remember that dream. That was me having compassion on myself as a child. Thank you for being so brave to share this Chynna. Peace of Christ. God bless you.
I was abused the same way Chynna my friend Debbie and I shr was 5 I was 6 at the time...he was older man probably in his 50s
It’s so wonderful that God comes to us in our dreams to help us. ❤️🙏
My husband has been in hospital since Fri. He was so sick, endocarditis. His kidneys compromised with scans and contrasts, labored breathing, disoriented & confused. Yesterday he improved and today it is little bit better. Praise God. Many people praying for him. Thank you, Jesus.
YUPx4 I didn't tell anyone until I was an adult and they didn't believe me,said I was just trying to cause trouble. Thankyou Chynna
for being such an inspiration to others and me, even though I am almost 80.!!! You are an angel 😇
Chynna,
I'm so sorry that happened to you.
I was sexually abused as a child also.
I won't share details here but like your grandmother, family members knew what happened to me and didn't stop it.
I kept it a secret and was in my 20s when I started talking about it.
There are so many emotions that accompany the incident and for me betrayal and neglect were the major ones I dealt with when my healing began.
You're so right that we must give our inner child compassion.
That's how we begin to heal and forgive
Big hugs and much love and gratitude to you for sharing.
❤️Season's Greetings💚 to you and Billy and your family.
💜🙏💙
According to research (Gabor Mate’) it’s not so much the actual violating act that is so damaging to children, it’s the cloak of shame and secrecy which follows that causes On going trauma. This makes sense, every time the memory comes up to be processed, it gets squelched back down into the hidden place of denial, shame and covering-up which is often encouraged by those who are supposed to be protecting us.
@@5thdimension625
Thank you for sharing this.
I agree; especially with the last part of your comment, which is what I meant about betrayal and neglect.
@@CrystalTwinStar Crystal, I apologize for not saying thank you for your post and sharing your experience. I wish you continued healing and good health. XO
I am so sorry this happened to you sweet Chynna. Thank you for being so vulnerable and open. It helps us all so much. We all love you very much.
Yup, sad but my abusers were family members. I was even younger. Aunts and mother protected my abusers and told everyone there was something wrong with me! I am 68 and still suffer.
I'm so sorry for your pain and suffering you have experienced. I pray that you will be restored in your spirit, soul, and body.
(1 Thessalonians 5:23-24)
Listen to Derek Prince’s teachings on deliverance and forgiveness. I believe they will help you tremendously. I too was abused by family members at a very young age but no one knew about it. You don’t have to suffer from what happened and you can be free in Christ! ❤️
Sending love and prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏
You still suffer because you have not forgiven.
Whatever you do do not die with that spirit of unforgivness still in you.
What else are you waiting for?
Happy to be your airbag - hope telling your story allows you to release all those negative emotions associated with that experience.
Chynna I was abused by my grandfather for a 1 1/2 years I know how you feel but I had to forgive my grandfather to live a true Christian life to get freedom to carry on living I now can talk about it as the Lord brought me through the fire and I can share what happened but I know how you feel Chynna your not alone
I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I also had a lot of traumatic experiences growing up that I never shared with anyone.
I’m sorry you suffered as a child. May God bless you and totally heal you.
We hide alot when were little we feel it's our fault when it never was. YEP been there. God Helps me daily
I think the reason that we beat ourselves up and have guilt ridden consciences about these things is because they leave us feeling dirty and shameful, therefore, we think that we are dirty and shameful. We are not.. As children we are not capable of even comprehending it, let alone having the tools to know how to say no to an adult and call them out on their crimes. When an adult does inappropriate things to us as children, we are so shocked and embarrassed that we freeze. If we were adults, they wouldn't have dared. The shame and guilt is purely on them.. Love yourself Chynna and drop the shame and guilt where it belongs. x
Your tree is so pretty Chynna! Blessings dear girl…..I’m sorry this happened to you as a small child. There are too many evil creeps in this world. We need to teach our children how to avoid these possible situations. God bless you! 💕
All your life, the enemy has tried to stop you, back you in a corner and make you feel alone and abandoned all because he saw you as a threat and knew that someday you’d be a champion in spreading God’s love. The man who did that to you was a pawn in satan’s plan to destroy you-but it didn’t work.
God’s blessings to you and thank you for your sermons.
Now that is truth! The enemy tried to stop what he knew would be a powerful force for Jesus Christ---you, Chynna Phillips. he(the enemy) knew you would bring truth and wisdom to countless hurting hearts and he(the enemy) tried to stop you. Praise and thank the Lord for not letting him(the enemy) destroy you and for raising you up to be a mighty voice for Christ! Thank you for your witness and boldness in preaching and living Christ and for how you persevere even when it is difficult! Praying for your continued healing and for the healing of so many others who were similarly abused/assaulted. As someone already commented... The enemy meant it for evil in your life but God thru Jesus Christ can turn it to good and use it for His glory thru your life. It was not your fault! You are ALL precious and dearly loved! God bless and Peace of Christ to ALL❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There were so many innocent and unprotected children victimized by the oversexualized culture of the past half century, but this story is as old as the ages. I had an elderly woman friend who described being violated by her stepfather at age 12 and how that resulted in her becoming pregnant with her only child. That would have been about 1927. What’s so incredible is that these horrors to which girls and women have always been subjected cross all socioeconomic boundaries. I hope your grandmother never let you out of her sight after that, because this was completely a parental responsibility issue, not your bad decision.
Unfortunately, yep. I was 6 or 7 & it was a teenage girl in my neighborhood. Also, the son of our next door neighbor who was babysitting me. Like you, I didn’t say a word about it. Jesus has poured His healing & mercy over the memories. Now days we teach our kids specifically about these kinds of dangers & safe touch, etc. In past decades this wasn’t so much the case.
Yup! I also am a survivor. Thank you for always being true and thank you for sharing your love of Christ with us.
I'm sorry Chyna that you went through this horrible act 🙏
Thank you Diana. Hugs 🌞🌞🌞
Yup, been there my bible babe at about the same age, and had a similiar response as you did. Please pray for me. Thank you for sharing your testimony with us.
Yup
Hugs and prayers. I pray daily that I’m able one day to forgive the person.
Merry Christmas
