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.
It takes someone with great strength & courage to come forward & share their stories. We support survivors! 💜

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.

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!

Domestic Violence in Childhood: A Survivor’s Story
As part of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Narc Free Living is giving survivors a platform to share their stories.
Listen here! https://www.spreaker.com/user/12992213/moremi-radio-broadcast-10-07-2020-shanno
The broadcast aired live on Dr. Moremi’s Radio Show on Big Gospel Xpress WBGX Chicago 1570 AM.
A Survivor’s Story
The story read is from a young man who has the courage and the strength to share his story. He witnessed his mother physically and psychologically abused at the hands of his father. The abuse affected him throughout his life in many ways, until he awakened to the fact that there was a better way to live.
What is domestic violence?
Domestic violence is most commonly thought of as intimate partner violence, but can also include violence or abuse from a family member.
The term “intimate partner violence” includes the following acts as inflicted or caused by a current or former intimate partner: it is not limited to physical abuse!
- Actual or threats of physical violence
- Actual or threats of sexual violence
- Emotional or psychological abuse (e.g., verbal abuse, constant arguing, cheating, neglecting emotional needs, name-calling, or putdowns)
- Stalking (e.g., excessive calls/texts/emails, monitoring daily activities, using technology to track a person’s location)
- Financial abuse (e.g., withholding money, stealing from, ruining credit, stopping a partner from getting or keeping a job)
Domestic violence includes emotional abuse. It is NOT only physical abuse. Abuse is damaging pathologically, psychologically, and physiologically. It damages those who experience it firsthand AND those who bear witness to the abuse.
Abuse changes you.
Children who witness abuse are survivors too.
To this young man, THANK YOU. Thank you for having the courage, to tell the truth, and to share your experience. We hope others understand the impacts of witnessing, hearing, or knowing that your parent or loved one is abused has on profound effects on children, in particular. Children need security. Abuse in ANY FORM includes incessant arguing – a form of emotional abuse. A volatile home threatens a child’s sense of security and alters their life’s path. Recovery is possible!
Men need safe spaces too.
Many have been abused sexually, emotionally, psychologically, physically, and will never release that account. It is buried too deep. The shame and guilt of abuse are not yours to bear. I pray that you find a licensed therapist to help you unpack what happened to you. There is healing in transparency and allowing God to heal you from the inside out. You are not the person that you have the potential to become as long as you live in silence & secrecy.
Abuse is debilitating to all involved.
I pray that those in abusive situations understand that staying in a two-parent home, “for the sake of the children”, that is abusive will impact your child/children in ways that you cannot begin to understand. Turn to God and ask Him for a way of escape. You do not deserve the abuse and your children do not deserve their parent being abused. God does not want anyone abused. That is not God’s plan for your life. Trust in Him to be your provider. He IS Jehovah Jireh.
If you are an abuser, albeit emotionally, verbally, spiritually, sexually, financially, psychologically – MAN or WOMAN – turn from your wicked ways. Abusers and narcissists may fool everyone around them, but they cannot fool God. He will not be mocked. Those who turn a blind eye and enable abusers will be held accountable for their inaction as well.
Abusers are on a path to hell as they will not see the Kingdom of Heaven God unless you accept Jesus Christ. You must be born again. Ask God to come into your heart. Admit that you need His help to live righteously. Repent and turn from your evil ways. You may believe you are getting away with abuse, however, Jehovah God sees & knows ALL. He will judge accordingly. Repent and turn from evil.
Break the chains!
God’s Word on abuse.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind. Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Ephesians 6:4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Psalm 11:5 The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.
Proverbs 22:10Drive out a scoffer and strife will go out, and quarreling and abuse will cease.

What was your experience with a narcissist?
Do you know the signs?
We do not have to be in relationships with demonic people. Narcissists embody the spirit of Satan through the spirit of Jezebel, Leviathan, and Python spirits. Get away from those who show they are operating in these spirits. You are not angry, or bitter for choosing to have No Contact with toxic and manipulative spirited people. Protect yourself. Narcissists are inherently evil and choose to be this way. Pray from a distance.
