Thanks for this talk. I’ve been a victim most of my life. I need to watch this every day for a while until it sinks in ❤️❤️

You just told me to pick up my mat and walk!!! I needed to hear this. Thank You, Holy Spirit, for leading me here.

Oh yes! I was stuck in that victim mindset for years. Everything was everybody’s fault. The mom, the dad, the teacher that laughed at me in 5th grade, the goldfish, the pet iguana that ran away, everything. I had never been that good at math, but one day I realized Nadia the common denominator as it relates to the issues in your life… it’s you sis. I humbled myself and got a counselor, and I got honest with God and myself and now I’m working THAT! Working on assertive skills, regulating my emotions, etc. I don’t have time anymore to play the victim. I got too much Jesus and the word in me to live in constant fear, anxiety, worry, and doubt. I am single, not free to mingle and I am working on healing from the inside out. 🗣WE WINNING OVER HERE! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

So, so, good! I needed this encouragement. Thank you, Chrystal! ツ -- I loved the thrown overboard illustration. -- "When you want to live, you reach for something."
"Find what is in your area of control, and fix that"
Other quotes/takeaways for me, "Stop carrying weight that is not yours to carry" -- This is a hard one for me, but necessary. " I am God's daughter, I have to answer to God" --- This is an excellent perspective. I need to chew on this a bit. We have to manage the time God has given us to do. We answer to Him. What does the Lord require?
"The people around me will adjust"
"I made a mistake, but I'm still the leader"
"Stand up straight girl!"

Grateful for you! ツ

H I crystal,
I am writing to let you know that this message spoke very clearly to me. I feel that it was a “Rhema word “for me. You were speaking directly to me I felt like it was just you and I sitting in a room having our coffee along with our discussion. For 44 years I had a victim mentality. To keep this short and simple .My boyfriend at the time threw me in a swimming pool He did not realize that I did not know how to swim until he had to jump in to pull me out. I was 17 at the time and that’s when my victim mentality began. I have made many attempts to learn how to swim but I allow the mindset I’ve been a victim prevent me from completing the courses because my excuse was someone threw me in a swimming pool so now I’m afraid of learning how to swim. . I am now 60 and I have two beautiful grandsons that loves the water they swim like fish and their parents both are big swimmers. I’ve always said that I never wanna be that person standing on the side of the pool not being able to help someone who was drowning. I am over being a victim I have just signed up for swim lessons I’m taking back my POWER and I’m completing the course . And I know that I’ve taking back my Power because just the thought of me starting these lessons there’s no fear in my heart. But true excitement to know that I have taken back my power ! And I haven’t even started my first lesson. I Had just listened to my church sermon on YouTube and I wanted to listen to something inspirational before turning in and from time to time I watched some of your videos and when I saw the title I knew then the Lord lead me to your channel 🥰 God Bless you Crystal and thank you for sharing what God has placed in you🙏🏽.

[RhemaJerry]

Hi Chrystal, You spoke straight to my soul. My name is Rhema. You spoke that Rhema word into me. I always wanted to write and I know in my spirit that I’m a writer. I was struggling deep inside about writing on my own. I’m taking charge and responsibility now. God bless you abundantly! Your humour and laughter is so contagious. Wonderful! Keep laughing! Your video popped up suddenly and now I’m following your channel.

[reginamcgary]

Great job Chrystal! Being a baby-boomer, I've learned to CHOOSE to find the good, and the lesson that God has for for ME to learn from any situation.

[karenwallaceadventures]

Thank you, Chrystal! That's that tough love❣😊🔥

[ForGodsolove]

This is so vital for every believer! As a survivor of child abuse and domestic abuse my brains way of protecting my self from abuse was a victim mindset, because abuse was everyday, But I thank GOD for the word of God and the spiritual support system, knowledge in the way of videos and books with such knowledge you are sharing a threat we become to the enemy as individuals! Specially women, mothers, wifes, ext, Ooooh Weee! I keep my self at the feet of such knowledge to remind self everytime the enemy comes against me as a reminder that I can do all things through Christ Jesus, Phil, 4:13, 1John4:4 tells me that greater is He that is in For a reader that can relate to this keep pushing don't quit challenge your self because one day we will have to give an account to God and we want to hear Mathew 25:23 Well done.
