Make Them Regroup!
Watch here!
Your enemies tried to take you out. They lied on you. They tried to turn everyone against you. Oh, but remember who God says you are!
- They tried everything in their power to break you.
- Do you know how strong you have to be the outcast, the Black Sheep, the Scapegoat?
Oh, but God!
- Do you know how hard it is to stand strong with your head held high in front of the very people – who you want to save but they want to smear your name?
- Do you know how hard it is to pray for these same people?
To forgive them?
Oh, it’s easy to love those who love you, it is a whole other to love those who you know that hate you.
It is only by the Holy Spirit. God is our Redeemer. In Him, we cannot fail.
Make ‘em regroup. Stand on God’s word!
“I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted.” Job 42:2
“The LORD will vindicate me; your love, LORD, endures forever— do not abandon the works of your hands.” Psalms 138:8

The Dangers Of Strangulation
“When a woman is strangled, it greatly increases the risk of later being the victim of an attempted homicide or being killed increases dramatically.”
Strangulation is often used in domestic abuse situations to control another person.
It is one of the most lethal forms of domestic violence as the potential to render the victim unconscious can happen within seconds and death within minutes of the act.
Take note of men & women who like to act out violence in sexual activities. This may be an indicator they have a proclivity towards abuse or that they have been a victim of abuse themselves.
- Most people who have been strangled by a domestic partner tend to reduce the act as “not serious”. Do not minimize the act and press charges! Do not feel bad about reporting the incident. It is just as bad and even worse as hitting. It is domestic violence.
- People confuse choking with strangulation.
- Choking is an object blocking your airway. When someone is choking, there is some sort of foreign object inside the body that is restricting the flow of oxygen.
- When strangulation occurs, there is an outside force exerting enough pressure to block the movement of oxygen to the brain.
- Examples of strangulation include a person using their hands around a person’s neck, or a ligature, or by hanging.
“Research shows that roughly 10% of domestic violence victims are strangled. In fact, non-fatal strangulation is a significant predictor for future violence, and people who were strangled by their partner are at a 6 to 10 times greater risk of being murdered by their abuser.”
Please take strangulation seriously! If have been strangled by your spouse, your partner, or anyone else IT IS NOT OK.

A Narcissist Is Dangerous To Your Destiny
Watch here: https://youtu.be/MCRnd4F90xs
God instructs us to pray – not stay with or around people who are angry, liars, violent, wicked, gossipers, slanderous, those who participate in evil works, adulterous, & heartless.
A narcissist is dangerous because they come to kill, steal, & destroy.
Narcissists come to:
*Distract
*Disrupt
*Deny
*Destroy
*Discombobulate
*Dismantle
*Delay
And to put you, your life & your destiny in disarray.
What does God’s Word say?
Do not be deceived, bad company corrupts good character. 1 Corinthians 15:33
An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips, there is as a burning fire. A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends. A violent man enticeth his neighbor and leadeth him into a way that is not good. He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass. Proverbs 16:27-30 KJV
“Some people we are to avoid friendship with include: the violent man (Proverbs 16:29, Proverbs 1:10-12), the wicked man (Proverbs 12:26, Proverbs 4:14-17), the gossip (Proverbs 16:28), the perverse (Proverbs 16:30), those who engage in deeds of darkness (Ephesians 5:11, Proverbs 2:12), the thief (Proverbs 1:10-19), and the adulterous woman (Proverbs 2:16-19). Furthermore, 2 Timothy 3:1-5 tells us we should not be friends with lovers of self, lovers of money, the proud, the abusive, those disobedient to parents, the ungrateful, the heartless, lovers of pleasure, etc.
“We are likely to be faced with a toxic relationship sometime in our lives. This might be someone very close to us, like our own parent, or someone in leadership such as a boss. Whatever you face, understand that these relationships are not a blessing from the Lord. When the devil wants to tear you down, he will send people to do so. Learn that these types of behaviors are not healthy, and do what is necessary to remove yourself from the situation.”
“Being angry and frustrated by a toxic situation, the relationship is perfectly normal. Typically, that’s our mind’s way of alerting us to the fact that something is very wrong. If you’re in a toxic environment, you do not need to “get used to it” or “just get over it.” God wants you to remove yourself from these situations.”
Above all, if you are in a relationship, family, friendship, etc., with a narcissist, someone filled with demonic spirits – seek, LISTEN, & OBEY the Holy Spirit, over any woman or man.
Ask Jehovah for HIS protection & instruction.
A wise man will hear and will increase learning, and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels. Proverbs 1:5 KJV
For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her. Ephesians 5:25
He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord. Proverbs 18:22
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 1 Corinthians 13:4-5

Why Don’t More People Come Forward?
Narcissist abuse affects over 158 million people annually. Most people do not realize they have been affected by narcissists in one way or another. Narcissists are prevalent in today’s society. They are in our workplaces, churches, and every facet of home and work life.
Anyone that has experienced narcissistic abuse fully understands why coming forward is an anxiety-producing, palm-sweating, fearful experience. Narcissists are pathological liars who are able to turn a survivors coworkers, friends, and family against their intended target.

How do we overcome strongholds?
Believers have the power to overcome strongholds in our lives. When we overcome individually we have greater power to overcome collectively.Spiritual warfare is more than rebuking & binding.
We must crucify our flesh daily & walk in God’s Spirit.
- There is a difference between a stronghold & a demonic spirit or stronghold.
- Unrepentant sin, generational cycles, trauma keeps people in bondage.
- Ungodly thoughts, words, spoken curses must be renounced and cast out.
These spirits come to usurp, deny, & quench the power of the Holy Spirit.
Do not allow sin to rob you of your God-given purpose.
Proverbs 6:16-19 These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. -
10 Things A Narcissist Does Not Want You To Know
A narcissist is the embodiment of Satan personified in human form. They are master manipulators who will do anything to keep their facade under wraps. They are demonic spirits who must inhabit flesh in order to carry out the wiles & schemes of their father – Satan.
You see flesh. You may see a nice looking person. Inside they are ravenous wolves, seeking whom they may devour.
Narcissists appear confident on the outside. However, on the inside, they are insecure children who have chosen to operate in agreement with their false self.
They appear strong or like bullies but inside they are cowards who turn to demons & a demonic mindset to verbalize their true feelings.
They appear charming and sweet on the outside. As if they would do anything for you. But everything comes with strings attached; they desire your attention, compliments, and you buying into their image to survive.
Narcissists gaslight, project, hoover, use smear campaigns, pathologically lie, & give the silent treatment to control to inflict emotional abuse on their victims.
Watch the video to hear ten things a narcissist does not want you to know.

Selling Local: The Sales Rebellion Podcast
Are you ready to leave everything that is familiar to step out on faith to find you?
I had the great pleasure of joining Dale Dupree & Chris Watson on The Sales Rebellion podcast. Join us as we discuss narcissism in leaders, sales, & marketing teams. There are so many nuggets that everyone can relate to!
What keeps people stuck?
Fear is what keeps people stay stuck in dead-end careers, relationships, & situationships.
Fear of the unknown is greater than leaving a situation that is a sinking ship.
People want security and the illusion of false security. They prefer to stay in what is comfortable and familiar.
Are you willing to walk away from the false sense of security to walk the path that God has for you?
Security is not found in a cush job with the corner office. It is not found in marriage, money, status, a relationship, or being surrounded by friends.
True security is found in walking out on faith and trusting God day by day.
Are you willing to walk away from everything to find Jesus Christ?
Are you the Scapegoat?
Do you feel oppressed from day to day?
If you want to understand why people stay stuck, listen to the conversation here. You won’t be disappointed!
