    This needs to be shared with every Christian marriage counselor out there who lead so many women astray with trying to lead their unloving husbands from behind with kindness. A.) we don’t lead from behind. And B.) THIS!

    Divorcing after 38 years of marriage. I can see how me trying for so long to “Love him into changing” only made things worse. It nearly destroyed me trying to love him according to the 1 Corinthians model. By me getting out and hoping the wake up call will cause him to run to God is probably the most truly loving thing I have ever done to and for him.

    I believe the three main baseline emotions that narcs actually have inside of them are
    1) envy
    2)fear(which they don’t face so turns into hatred)
    3) shame(which they don’t face which turns into pretenses of all sorts)
    Anger is not a baseline emotion in the first place. Anger is almost always a mask for a different emotion and in the case of narcs, from my experience, they use it to deflect attention from themselves when they feel threatened that they might be caught in their shame or mask off state. That is when they suddenly fly into a rage.

      Thank you so much for sharing this. Absolutely spot on! And this has been my experience too. Envy is the root for all the narcs in my life then envy comes with seething resentment & hatred and then guiltorshame which leads to fear of exposure.

    I cannot believe how much this message has hit home!
    I have tried so hard being the Christian wife allowing this side of love to actually eat away my self estem, by trying to do the right thing in God's eye's.
    Thank the Lord for your channel an true answer to the many days and nights l have cried out to the Lord believing l will never get this right and constantly blaming myself.
    My husband no longer to talks to me and all the years past l have asked him why and what have l done wrong?
    I made up my mind that after several months of yet another episode of the slient treatment that l wasn't going to beg him to talk to me, the pain has been unbearable at times,
    By these life changing messages l am slowly becoming stronger and less intimidated by his behaviour.
    Jesus is amazing,.
    Thank you for channel 🥰

      I’ve been married for 15 years and I’m going through the exact same thing!
      I am done with the silent treatment, the outbursts of anger, the blame shifting and the lack of EVER taking responsibility!
      It wasn’t until now that I realize that he’s a narcissist.
      I don’t know what to do! We have a 10 y/o son.

      Hi Niki,
      I feel for you, I have been married 25 years and have have two teenage boys.
      Sadly l have to say l may have caused them less pain if l walked away when they were younger but it was never that easy so l totally understand when you say, you don't know what to do.
      Surround yourself with supportive friends and family whenever possible, don't allow him to make you go down to his level of behaviour, keep watching these great videos to help you understand and deal with the situation and pray for your son and for the Lord to strengthen you both through this and to direct your path.
      I hope this helps even a little.

    I just got it today: Love does not delight in [or endorse] evil, but Love rejoices with the Truth.
    If we truly love people, including the overwhelming number of narcs in society, we won’t subscribe to the mentality of “everyone is a winner”. We will, in gentleness and firmness, address situations that need improvement. Although we cannot control the actions of others, we can be the watchmen who warn them that they need to change.

    This is really good. God delivered me from a narcissist. I was stuck there for 20 years. I couldn't take it anymore and got on my knees and begged God for help. He sent my daughter to be my way of escape. The narcissist was trying to force me to abort my daughter and I asked God to protect her. God broke my fear of man and told me to put my trust in Him by giving me Isaiah 41:10. I put my faith in God and He did the rest, thank you Jesus! I have turned the narcissist over to him. God is so good and faithful.

    Shaneen! This was amazing!!! I’ve been battling guilt and confusion. I have two Christian narcissists roommates that made me a shell of a person overtime. I tried talking to them and it always ended with me some how ending up apologizing like I’ve wronged them. They talk in circles. Cut you off mid sentence, attack you and call you names and then you’re focused on defending why you’re not those things they are saying, and you start getting confused at how you got there, and why they think you’re expressing something completely different than what you’re trying to say. I even tried getting help with biblical counsel to have a mediator help us, but that blew up in my face and they played the victim and said I was trying to defame their character by talking about sinful behavior that they do that I’m not okay with. I tried to generalize at first but they asked me to go into detail and then they really raged. So I’ve stopped talking to them. I only say hi and greet them. But no conversations. I felt like God was calling me to separate from them and “not even eat with people like these”, but at the same time I was wrestling with how is this is actually Godly and loving. This video answered that for me. I love them from a far. But they don’t love me. They say they do but their actions towards me and compassion towards my feelings don’t show it. I already know they don’t respect what I say or how I think, so that’s why I keep my mouth shut. To avoid blow ups. Keeping the peace is a loving thing. They lack true peace. But I don’t. So I carry on. I feel like Abraham living among the Canaanites and keeping to myself. I bless them because God used them to bless me with such a beautiful awakening to becoming the powerful woman of God I was destined to become, and poured so much wisdom in me. What they meant for evil, God used for GOOD.

    @Shaneen Megji… thank you so much for these videos. This should be taught in churches around the world ! So many people are hurting and broken because they stayed the course in the name of Christ like love. I just found out about Narcissism last September after being blind sided by discard after 3 years. All the while I thought he was everything I could’ve ever hoped, and I just knew I could love him back to health because of his childhood trauma. now I see how many red flags I ignored because I thought God said love was unconditional. But if it is truly demonic oppression there is no amount of love in the world that will save a Narcissist, besides the love of God . Thank you so much God bless

    • @calmcalm6203
      @calmcalm6203 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Wow was in the same boat. Then thought hate is the better way if unconditional love doesn't work. But then I realised it is a spiritual war....their souls have been hijacked.... U have love from afar and pray for enemies . And heal our our wounds....to not attract narcs any more.... And focus on love for urself.... No narc's without victims....💓

    I want you to know that your videos are really helping. After many years (almost 30) of living in a very frustrating marriage, full of ups and downs, sins and problems, lots and lots of losses, I finally got an answer as to why my wife is the way she is. Life is very difficult and it hurts too much to deal with a narcissist. I'm close to the 30th anniversary of our marriage and she's moved off to her mother's house and is throwing all sorts of long-distance accusations based on her own evangelical interpretation. I'm not sure which direction God is going to lead me in, but now I'm fasting and praying with the certainty that the Lord will lead. Even though eventually your channel is apparently not getting many views, you are reaching people in need, like me and in distant countries like Brazil. God bless you.

    I have been married to a narcissist for fifty years, but only realized who he is really is within the last year. I have know for a very long time there was a big problem, but didn't have a clear understanding of what I was dealing with. I have been reading and watching TH-cam concerning this topic and found your vlogs most helpful. I struggle daily with bitterness and anger which I know I need to overcome. My desire is to please God and this video gave me insight into how to do that while living with him. Thank you for your godly advise.

It's so peaceful and I've so much more energy. Only God's love is infinite.... human love IS exhaustible imho. May God protect and bless us all. Thanks for the video. x

    Just my opinion, but my experience in loving narcs just makes them worse, more determined to control/manipulate/hurt you, because they perceive love and kindness as weakness, and they prey on what they perceive as weakness. (parent, aunt, x)

    After listening to numerous tapes videos and reading its clear to me you can't be nice to a narcissist..it only fuels their anger and resentment..my son told me when he slammed out the door for the last time after blowing up over nothing and refusing to tell me why.. " Your too nice to me ...you know what you've done.." .unfortunately I believe he really meant.. I made it too hard for him to leave because I fed him well..helped find him a job ..washed his clothes and never asked anything of him..I enabled him....in my ignorance I believed I was helping him..what I was doing was holding him back...for that I'm sorry 😞

    The therapist told us to get more individual counseling because couples counselling wasn't working. She said we should separate for a week to see if it's still what we want. He won't even get therapy for himself and said if we separate we are done. I'm in therapy for me and it's very hard to be around someone who constantly blames me for everything. I feel so empty and alone and if I tell him how I feel about anything he says this is why I need therapy and he doesn't....

    Excellent video Shaneen. You hit the nail on the head in describing the dynamics of loving narcissistic people according to 1 Cor 13, even if they profess to be Christians, as if they are actually emotionally, mentally and spiritually healthy people. They aren't, and to love them this way just sets you up for more abuse. I so appreciate this teaching on how Jesus loved the narcissists of His day; He loved them but was not ignorant of their schemes. 'Be as shrewd as snakes but as innocent as doves' Matt 10:16. Thanks so much Shaneen. I'm very appreciative of what God is gifting you to bring to this conversation about narcissism in our day. 😊❤

    My father passed away January 21st. While helping my mom with funeral plans, my narcissistic husband was angered I did not seek his advice on the planning . Meanwhile our teen son is struggling with depression and all husband is concerned with is son’s grades and missing track practice. I’ve spent 25 years of marriage walking on eggshells, always apologizing. I am praying for strength and guidance and for god to soften husbands heart so he may hear the wisdom of Jesus. I do not want our marriage to fail. I am trying to convince him to try couples counseling. I believe it stems from his childhood and deep rooted resentment of being the forgotten “middle child”. I keep praying to the Lord that husband opens his heart to Jesus

I've been struggling for the next step in my healing journey with several narcissistic people; and your channel is giving me some of the tools I need for this. Other channels took me so far but there were missing links. Your Soul ties video, your forgiveness and cleaing up your heart to honor parents was also helpful and the idea of knowing your threshold of time limitation that you can remain calm, and not be pulled into toxic dynamics. This video does completely goes against what you said in your reframing video; but, at times there is just no way to reframe things in a way the narcissist will accept.

    2 Timothy 3:2-5 describes the character of a narcissist and verse 5 says we are to turn away from such people. The way I read 1 Corinthians 13 is that it's describing what the character of a believer should be. Part of the believer's character is that we trust but the verse doesn't say specifically that we are to trust people especially if they are ungodly. Rather, we are to trust God which means not to desire or seek revenge when we are wronged but to trust that God will bring about what's in the best interests for all parties. It's tempting to want revenge on a narcissist but that is a flesh driven desire. To remain loving means that we let go of that instinct and trust that God will use the situation for good (for us as well as the narcissist). In the meantime we distance ourselves from the narcissist but continue to pray for their genuine repentance and to be delivered from the influence of the evil one.

    Married to one for 30 years. Thought I was going insane with the gaslighting, arrogance lies and deceit. And this man and his whole family were “Christians”?? Oh my word. My ex narcissist wouldn’t even get baptized yet he told me he was supposed to lead me to Christ when I had given my life to Christ 45 years ago. What a horrid waste of half my life hoping and praying things would get better.

    Shaneen. Thank you so much for these videos. Such great content! And, you obviously the wisdom of someone who has been through it, as well as a great gift for integrating psychology, common sense, and spiritual/biblical wisdom. I thought that my love could heal my narcissistic husband. I thought I was taking the high road by not lashing back in anger at his abuse, and going the extra mile for him. I see that I let myself down by not having good boundaries and expressing my feelings. I think if I had done so, it would have ended things even sooner. I wish I had had your videos back then (nine years ago). It would’ve helped with a lot of my confusion. Keep up the good work. There are a lot of people who need this, especially within Christendom. We Christians can unwittingly fall into “spiritual bypassing“ false/premature forgiveness, and pathological altruism…. Thank you for your clarity. 🌞🤩❤️🤗👍

    Thank you for this teaching Ms Megji. While it was necessary for me to discard my N and with considerable relief, I've had no contact for some 6- 7 weeks now. However I am full of compassion and sorrow for her on account of the traumatic early childhood absence of love which I have pretty much identified and which resulted in this beautiful person being cursed with these demons and this regrettable condition. David's reaction to Shimei's cursing and betrayal was to let him alone because this was the will of God. It was the will of God also for us two to have been connected and also for her to be discarded which apparently hurt her. Humans can withstand almost anything and so my prayer is along the lines that you say namely that the shock of the discard would give rise to self reflection and healing to head off an otherwise grim future. She has to come to the end of herself. Meanwhile I love her intensely but... NO CONTACT. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. Your teachings are most helpful. Every blessing to you in your ministry Ms Megji.

      Ms. Megji. Lately I was intensely annoyed, outraged in fact, at your repeated inclusion of clips of homosexual couples in your videos. You are an authentic Christian no doubt but if you have control of your own videos, does it glorify God by including those cameos? I think not. Please review your policy on this as it is 1) wrong in the eyes of God and 2) your ministry seems to be stuck at around 20,000 subscribers and not being blessed with the thousands more you otherwise deserve. Fact is you are the only Christian with this expertise on TH-cam and YOU ARE GOOD... but... you've got to sort this out Ms. Megji. Meanwhile I'm going to give you another chance and SUBSCRIBE again. If I come accross these homosexual inserts in your new releases, I'm going to give you over to the fate of somebody who condones these shameful vile passions. What a pity because you have so much to give. In Jesus name.

    10:10, or so: they need a head-on confrontation… is that why the Bible has something like 366 verses that say “do not be afraid”?
    It takes courage for that confrontation.
    It takes strength to respond calmly - or not respond.
    It takes wisdom to say the right thing in the right way.
    May God give me courage, strength, and wisdom, mixed with patience, compassion, and grace as I prepare to institute boundaries for the situation that I face currently. All prayers appreciated!

    Excellent video because Christianity that is misunderstood traps a person in narcissistic abuse….wives submit to your husbands, children obey your parents, honor your father and your mother.

It would help if Jesus law of love was taught instead of their laws of false marriages and religious works were exposed.

    Loving or trying to love a narc is trowing your pearls for swines..They indeed become full nlown narcs when they discover your generous love, kindness, care..and patience with their evil temper tantrums or their silent treatments which you forgive over and over..Not only romantic relations..I had women friends who appeared to be horrible scary narcs..In the beginning i thought their air od pride and haugthiness was a way to protect them selfs due to their childhood trauma's.. But the more i cared the more arrogance and pride came to the surface..And some of them where chfistians whom i met after converting to christianty. One of them was even born into a christian family and an elder in the church....My friendship opened my eyes that narcism stands in the way of diliverance ..and not the other way around..Satans is not seeking for diliverance..but worship and power over people aspecially Gods people..Satans felt he was entiteled to be worshipped..Narcs are full of anger about what has happened to them because they believe that are only worthy and deserving of worship snd service..while we are here to serve them and be abused ..mocked.. laught at..tossed away when it pleases them..Diva and pharoah behaviour..they see them selves as gods..trust me the only love you can give a narc..by asking gods mercy on their soul..and stay away from them and save your sound mind and heart before it is destroyed as you start to doubt your worth and mind..
    My ex almost succeeded in making me believe that i did not not how to love, no matter what i tried..Once , while we where dating, he called me up completly upset ..it was around eight in the evening..Whe talked for a while and i comforted him and suggested he might go and visit his friend and neighbour.
    But he started to scream telling at me for being an evil being ..I lived two and half hours away from him..I would have to take the train and bus risking i would strand on a station because it was the last train that evening..
    Long story short..i went..it was cold rainy and stormy weather..the station is known for its many drugaddicts late at night..I was lucky to catch the last bus to his house and as i rang his bell he left me standing outside..after a long time he opened the door and with a big nasty smurck on his face he turned around a went to bed leaving me standing in the l hallway of his appartement. Wenn i asked him why he was doing this..he screamed..pulled my arm and pushed me to the door to trow me outside...I told him i would call the police if he would dare to leave outside..He pulled into the house and went to bed..i stayed up waiting for the first train back home... After we broke up he later text me in an sms that only god and the stars would know how much he loved me..😂.This was just one of a long, long list off horrible attitudes he manifested...Once a was paying tribute to the father of a friend who had diied..he called me up in the middle of the service..and in rage after the service .. i left the dinner after the burial and took the train to him..guess what he opened the door gave me the key because he was having a drink at his neighbours house ..more than 2 hours later he came looking at je with that smurck again..it would be the last time he would smurck...The fact that he could not allow me to say goodby to a human who had passed on made me realize that if he could even feel envy towards a dead person, i was dealing with a more than scary being

      It can be extremely difficult to discern what is actually going on, if you have been gaslighted by a narcissist for years.

      Sheneen, you confirm what I have tried to explain to friends who are in these kind of relationships - you think you are ‘loving’ someone, but you are actually bowing down to an idol.
