  1. He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.
    He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me.
    They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the Lord was my support.
    He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.
    The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.
    ~ Psalm 18:16-20

  2. Iam a victim in this situation right now. My husband is a pastor, he's so controlling, verberlly,and physically abusive and intimidating.he physically abused me a month ago and I had to seek for help from women's Aid. The church has turned a blind eye to the issue and he has been considered as the victim because the police has given him a restraining order not to come home. Non of them care about my emotional, physical and mental pain . They will tell me it's not in the bible to divorce because of domestic abuse. I'm confused ,and don't know how to heal. It's such a difficult situation and only God can draw me out of the many waters. I have prayed and cried so much but the pain is still so fresh and hurting.

  3. If a human says they are a Christian , you can't practice to do evil to another human being , not even your enemy.The meaning of “Christian" – of Christ and in Christ nature , they can be no evil, whether physically , verbally , emotionally and mentally.

  4. If a human says they are a Christian , you can't practise to do evil to another human being , not even your enemy.The meaning of “Christian" – of Christ and in Christ nature , they can be no evil, whether physically , verbally , emotionally and mentally.Doing evil in any of aforementioned categories and say that you are a Christian contradicts the meaning of the word.However, according to Romans 7, although we are borne again of Christ, we continue to struggle with the features of our birth nature of Good and Evil .

  5. for 20 years I lived in fear praying he would "wake up" be convicted and humbled and change. I beat myself up constantly think my fear anxiety and depression was " lack of faith ". Abuse is a violation of the marriage vows. where there is oppression domination intimidation manipulation there is evil not God's kingdom. Jesus loves you and your children more than the "institution" of marriage. Take God's hand and get out. For your sake and your children's. Turn your husband out into God's hand. i know it's the hardest thing but it can be done. you can be free as Christ set you free. a great video on YouTube i saw is called Death by Marriage. if I can pray for anyone please reply.

  6. Wives must be obedient and not usurp the God given authority of their husbands.
    "23 The husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. It is his body, and he is its Savior.
    24 As the church is under Christ's authority, so wives are under their husbands' authority in EVERYTHING".
    Ephesians 5:22-24 (GW)

  7. Thank you for sharing! I was married to a man who had that classic Jekyll & Hyde personality. The abuse didn't begin until after we married. When it became unbearable we went to a number of marriage counsellors. Very few of them were helpful. Our pastor believed that men are blameless in a marriage, and it is up to the woman to fix everything. This pastor also blamed me for not handing over more power in the marriage, including all my finances. Yet the same pastor was entirely unwilling to address my husband's pornography addiction or his abusive behaviours. My husband, Greg, was also a huge manipulator. He turned friends and family against me. Other Christians looked at me as a wayward woman. But I really felt that God was making a way for me to leave, for my safety, and because the abuse was so damaging, emotionally and physically. I was being given a chance to recover and live a peaceful, healthy life.
    Thank you Jesus!

  8. Oh, yes! 9.5 yrs almost killed me in front of 4 & 5 yrs old daughters screaming/crying in terror.
    Baby asleep @ other end of house. Later, children began to be physically threatened. Took children & left with communication/help from senior pastor. Left in Fall 1981. Learned in 2021 what a narcissist is!! God truly keeps His Word & protects by His Holy Spirit. Long challenging journey raising 3 daughters but God has been so faithful with Truth/Life! Hallelujah! Shalom! Numbers 6:24-26; 2Timothy 1:7; Psalm 91; Philippians 4! Ephesians 6! Micah 6:8!!

  9. I would love to hear the husband’s side of the story. I am having trouble believing this woman sought Jesus with all her might and resisted her own sinful self to the point of shedding her own blood in her fight against sin. I’m a woman who has suffered a lot of abuse from church leaders, my dad and husband but Jesus has alway made up for all the shortcomings of men in my life. I am still married by the way. And yes my father and my husband both tried to kill me. One directly and the other indirectly.

  10. God bless you, and all other women, for being such beautiful survivors. You are an inspiration. And for those still struggling, I pray that you find the strength, courage, self love and opportunity to leave. You deserve all that is good in this world

  11. There is no such thing as a "Christian Abuser" See 1 John 3:9. Such people don't love others and they don't love God. They love power and control.

    They blaspheme when they claim God gives his approval to such conduct. The Lake of Fire awaits such people.

  12. Wow. I want to thank everyone for your comment. I wasn't married but I attended a Christian cult for 3.5 years. It was an abusive relationship; spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. We were led to believe we deserved the abuse because the pastor was "loving" us. I was totally brainwashed. The bible was twisted to hold us captive. We were all afraid if we left we would go to hell. I am still in recovery after many years. But I have learned so much. I know what true love looks like now- 1Cor 13.

  13. Women are victim of abuse , that did not start in marriage, these women haven been exposed to abuse from early age, it does not have to be violence, is 'emotional'' al the attitudes about a control, bully, exploitation, gender stereotype , disrespectful have been spoken to her or have heard constantly, specially to her that she can not ''identify'' abuse and how to deal with , because she has not learnt about it, and being in this life style ,she has lived all her life. Until the ''light is on''.

  14. Evil comes in all walks of life friends! Yes this is odd for a Pastor to abuse for he should be in love with Jesus always wanting to please Our Lord! Pastors doctors priests teachers on and on this abuse goes! Parents killing their kids moms killing dads! It is evil! Run from evil if you can! I left you all can too just outsmart him like I did! Leave when he thinks your staying! Leave no trace of your where abouts till the cost is clear! Meaning he has moved on or knows he has an issue cuz your his fifth girlfriend he has abused, a history! Some are so evil they won't give up till sadly they feel they control you to death! Evil comes in ALL walks of life! Don't date a man who can not control his temper! Red flag!

  15. I want to thank the interviewer and the Survivor doing the video here. There are many many of us women and men who have been victimized and are still being victimized by narcissist. I think these personal stories at least in my opinion are the most healing I have watched hundreds of videos on narcissism and abuse but I believe the personal stories and especially where you see victory are incredibly powerful. Seeing this lady hold on to her faith in Christ even though her weasel of a husband at the time, led her to him. It sounds like she has gleaned many Treasures From the Ashes. May God bless you two ladies and I pray everyone that's reading this in Jesus name amen!

  16. It grieves me to hear stories of malignant religious people who claim Christ but abuse others. There is a side of religious Christianity, legalistic religion, that appeals to controlling personalities. I knew someone who went to work for a guy that claimed to be Christian and would greet everyone with Godmorning. This employer was devious and a liar as my acquaintance discovered.

  17. 'Physical abuse' was not a reason for Christian slaves to disobey or leave their masters.

    "18 Slaves, place yourselves under the authority of your owners and show them complete respect.

    Obey not only those owners who are good and kind, but also those who are unfair.

    19 God is pleased if a person is aware of him while enduring the pains of unjust suffering.

    20 What credit do you deserve if you endure a beating for doing something wrong?

    But if you endure suffering for doing something good, God is pleased with you. "

    1 Peter 2:18-20 (GW)

  18. Let the question be asked was this women, Ramona, obedient to her husband in "Everything" as is commanded of all wives?
    "22 Wives, place yourselves under your husbands' authority as you have placed yourselves under the Lord's authority.

    23 The husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. It is his body, and he is its Savior.

    24 As the church is under Christ's authority, so wives are under their husbands' authority in everything."

    Ephesians 5:22-24 (GW)

  19. Did you know …
    You don't have to go to War to have PTSD ?
    Just be in a Long Term Abusive Relationship and YOU'LL HAVE IT …
    It Starts With HOPE …
    You HOPE This Time It Will Be DIFFERENT …
    THIS TIME They Will Listen … THIS TIME They Will Hear Me …
    THIS TIME They Will Care … This Leads to DISAPPOINTMENT because They Don't Hear … Over Time
    ( Many Years ) THIS Leads To DISCOURAGEMENT
    because You come to Realize that It's NEVER Going to Change because The NECESSARY INGREDIENTS For Change , Sympathy , Empathy , Compassion , Understanding , Listening AND CARING ARE NOT IN THERE …
    THIS Leads To ANGER , DEPRESSION AND OR SUICIDE …
    And Then We Go Back To HOPE And Start Y Cycle Over Again ,
    THIS TIME IT WILL BE DIFFERENT …..
    The ONLY WAY OUT Is To LEAVE And NEVER GO BACK TO HOPE …..
    Put Your HOPE In NO MAN BUT JESUS CHRIST AND JESUS CHRIST ALONE …..
