This is something that a lot of Christians don’t want to address. Family can be toxic too

[SisterBriyanna]

I grew up as the black sheep and scapegoat in my family because I always tried to address the truth but it never worked. They always projected their issues on me. I recently cut them off for good. After I cut them off God delivered me from trauma, anxiety, and depression. I’ve never felt so much peace in my life! They have no more power over me. I thank God that he pulled me out of the deception I was living in. 🙏🏾♥️ PRAISE GOD!

SOME PEOPLE WILL NEVER CHANGE NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU FORGIVE IT KEEP REPEATING OVER AND OVER. YOU WILL ALWAYS GET HURT 😭

[CarlitaCosmetics]

Some family members aren’t worth the pain they put you through.

Some family members are just toxic and affect your peace

[kimtalksbutjesusspeaks]

For the last several years, I've been helping people realize that it's OK to forgive but you DON'T have to tolerate!

[duanesingstock]

Family can be the most hurtful, the enemy uses them against you. Especially if they are narcissistic. You don't have to be a doormat. Just because you forgive them doesn't mean they are coming back to hurt you again. They have to show they have changed.

[lakaylastewart]

Had to cut toxic family off and I feel better since. It's sad because I love my family but I refuse to tolerate disrespect and once it's done, I forgive and love from a distance. God says forgive but he doesn't say keep running back to what hurt you.

[LanaiahTaylor]

Please whatever you do after this video is very important ! If you are cutting off a parent, sibling, friend, or other relationship. Don’t harden your heart! Whenever God removes someone out of our life he already has a divine replacement because he loves us that much!❤️so when faced with these type of situations stay strong and trust that God knows what he’s doing, Amen.

The negativity can be so bad that you have to leave everyone you know.

I did I blocked my sister and mom. They always made me the black sheep in the family. I'm glad you made it clear and made this video Mark it was on time.

[SelenaSecretShow]

The best decision I ever made in my entire life was to block my entire family and move on with my life like I never knew any of them. And I stand by that statement with all my heart.
In fact it is biblical to move away from your family and distance yourself from them. God does not want us to put our family before him. And I seriously believe that's why some of us have to go through really hard seasons with our family because God does not want us putting our family first. God comes first.

[maritimesteak]

My grandparents are narcissists and I'm stuck with them because they have raised me. I must continue to reraise myself. And become independent despite them trying to stop me. Pray for me folks

[fdoctor]

Sometimes the "enemy" can be those in your house. Tfs

[paulagonzalez]

I'm glad you're acknowledging this reality. More children of God should be talking about it.

[keh-dalia]

This is a huge relieving confirmation to me, after 34 years I finally shut the door on my last blood relative, they were all abusive and toxic to me, and for each one I prayed relentlessly and sought the Lord and waited on him for his verdict, never wanting to believe anything bad toward them, always hoping for the best, the repentance, the big turn around, but it will hardly happen for those who don't want to change.... it's very painful when you have a good heart and you don't give up on people easily. It also reminds me of how many times I've seen the church shun the victim or the one who speaks out against evil. This just happened to me recently again too, I exposed a pedophile who worked as a teacher at a well known Christian Bible school that teaches children and minors, and the lady in charge at that school was mad at me and tried to make me feel bad, and I was met with resistance as well. She also seemed to feel guilty and bad for him once it turned out to be true and she had to fire him, but yet was super pissed at me. Once she calmed down She said to me, I'm just not sure where the line is between forgiveness and judgement, All I could tell her repeatedly was that protecting children was the most important... Sheesh did I go through a whirlwind of emotions. Looking back I know I did the right thing no matter how hard it was, and furthermore how weak the many church people are against sin, I mean my God if not for protecting children from sin and evil, what then will someone even stand for?!? It's terrible and so damaging how weak the church is against sin. I remember many years ago now I was seeking God wholeheartedly to help me forgive, and I'll never forget it, God said, "Forgiveness does not mean stop praying for justice." People need to understand that even as loving and merciful, gracious, and forgiving God is, He is also Just, holy, righteous, true, and the righteous judge who still hates sin, especially that which is perpetrated against children, the poor, widows, orphans, and the needy. It's impossible for me to believe those who tolerate and/or live a sinful lifestyle are actually of God, cuz the Bible clearly says they're NOT! What I see so often is people don't want to judge against sin according to God's judgement in His word, because they themselves are not living right. the Bible says, those who are righteous judge all things!

God just revealed this to me a month ago. Family can be a major stumbling block.

Matthew 10:36
New Living Translation

36 Your enemies will be right in your own household!’[a]

[beyoutifulsapphire]

This is a great video, I feel at time us Christians may put up with things because we forgive, but that's doesn't mean to continue to take abuse.

[sandracrump]

I feel like God is telling me it’s a season to remove myself and distance ! I been used my whole life and it’s draining !

❤️❤️❤️ Psalms 27:10:

"When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up."

Family or not, if people are destroying your spirit, to the point where you are losing peace, or it's bring health problems due to the stress... You must remove yourself. Forgive what they have done to you, and move on. This doesn't mean you ignore what happened (if you do, you could put yourself back in harms way). But forgive, pray for their soul, and move on. Walk in love... So if it does come to a point where you need to help them, then help them... But do it cautiously, and remain in the Spirit while doing so.
