Speaker 2: iTunes, and others.

24
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 3: All right, what are we talking about today, Well, we're

25
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:06,359
talking about UH children and their basic needs for survival.

26
00:02:06,439 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 2: And you might be an adult child or someone.

27
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,479
Speaker 3: Of course, we all were born through someone, and so

28
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,879
you are. Whether your parents are here or they're not,

29
00:02:16,039 --> 00:02:20,680
you know, they've been deceased. But everyone that was growing

30
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,840
up had basic needs for survival.

31
00:02:24,199 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: The thing is, some of those needs.

32
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 3: May not have been met, and so therefore, when you

33
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:35,680
recognize those needs, then you can understand, Okay, this is

34
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,479
where I may have lapsed in getting what I need,

35
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:42,039
and this is what I need to tend to because

36
00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:44,960
guess what we all need to tend to our inner child.

37
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,960
And sometimes those things that we needed may not have

38
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,840
been UH. Regardless of how much your parents tried or whatever,

39
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,960
you might have been lacking in some of those things.

40
00:02:55,159 --> 00:02:57,919
If you were raised by a narcissist, you were definitely

41
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,560
lacking in some areas. And so we're gonna talk about that,

42
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,479
the basic needs for survival in.

43
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: Adult children as well as younger ones.

44
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,039
Speaker 3: And if you were missing those things in your childhood,

45
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,400
where you can pay attention to what you need to gild.

46
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: To your children.

47
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: And so I'm gonna start off with a Bible verse

48
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,080
in Matthew chapter eighteen, verse eleven, and it says, beware

49
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,800
that you don't look down on any of these little ones,

50
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,439
for I tell you that in heaven, their angels are

51
00:03:29,479 --> 00:03:33,879
always in the presence of My heavenly Father. And that

52
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,360
means that everyone is assigned an angel, a guardian angel.

53
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: And so therefore, just because.

54
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: Someone is small a young child, doesn't mean that God

55
00:03:47,759 --> 00:03:49,280
does not pay attention.

56
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:52,319
Speaker 2: Yes, he does. So most people will agree.

57
00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:54,759
Speaker 3: And I want to just let you all know I

58
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,680
have been working on a book for a few years

59
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,439
and it's it's dealing with narcissism, and I don't have

60
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,240
an exact time when I'm gonna release it, but it's

61
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:13,240
gonna be possibly within the next year or so, and

62
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:20,279
it it would be dealing with for narcissistic abuse and

63
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,600
so it uh, this is coming from that particular book

64
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:29,199
that I'm that I'm working on right now. So meeting people,

65
00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:34,360
they would agree that there are basic needs that everyone need,

66
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,879
that uh children need when they grow up in order

67
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:44,199
to be uh well rounded individuals. Rather, whether you're a

68
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:49,040
teacher or a guardian a parent, if you're in charge of

69
00:04:49,079 --> 00:04:54,000
a child's care, you are supposed to try to meet

70
00:04:54,079 --> 00:04:56,639
those needs that you know children have.

71
00:04:58,319 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 2: And even if you are not.

72
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:03,199
Speaker 3: A ch therapists or whatever, there are still that's still

73
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:08,120
a basic understanding that there are certain things inalienable rights

74
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:16,519
that children have. However, sometimes when children are are not

75
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,600
getting the needs that they that they are entitled to get,

76
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,360
then it could cause them to have different cognitive issues,

77
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:31,120
such physical issues, psychological issues, and lead to what.

78
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,079
Speaker 2: They call as early life trauma.

79
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,519
Speaker 3: And we definitely don't want to traumatize a child because

80
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,519
when a child is traumatized, it can lead to other

81
00:05:44,079 --> 00:05:49,720
issues so fate. For example, if they're being physically deprived

82
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,560
of things, then it can lead to all kinds of

83
00:05:52,639 --> 00:05:56,959
physical issues such as vision laws, brain damage, broken bones.

84
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:02,000
If they're being physically abused, they're there psychological issues that

85
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,639
can occur from a child not getting the knees that

86
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:11,959
they are entitled to, such as depression, eating disorders, panic attacks.

87
00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:18,360
Sometimes it leads them into what's called a gorea for phobia,

88
00:06:18,439 --> 00:06:22,480
which is a fear of leaving home, sleep disorders, and more.

89
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:27,240
These are things that we don't want children to have

90
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:29,920
to deal with as they grow up. It can lead

91
00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:38,560
to behavior issues such as showing anger through various inappropriate ways,

92
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:44,519
them having control issues, aggression, or even a lack of empathy.

93
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,879
Many criminals who took the road to crime, which may

94
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,279
have led them into being in prisons sometimes a lot

95
00:06:55,319 --> 00:06:58,480
of times this is not in all cases, but they

96
00:06:58,519 --> 00:07:03,079
were victims of abuse, neglect, or rejection from someone that

97
00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:08,439
was supposed to be a supporter or a guardian in

98
00:07:08,519 --> 00:07:12,680
their life, and so therefore they ended up abusing someone else,

99
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,639
whether it's physically, emotionally or verbally. The saying that hurt

100
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:23,879
people hurt people is absolutely true, and therefore we want

101
00:07:23,959 --> 00:07:30,120
to recognize what you were entitled to as an adult

102
00:07:31,079 --> 00:07:34,240
that the adults were supposed to give you.

103
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:36,079
Speaker 2: Because children do not ask to.

104
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 3: Be born, They are just brought here, okay, So no

105
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,199
one is able to ask, well do you want to

106
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,519
come into this world that you know you're not able

107
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,839
to do that, okay. So but the thing is is

108
00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:50,199
that when a child is brought into this world, then

109
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,279
they have certain inalienable rights that God has designed for

110
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,600
parents to give their children.

111
00:07:58,879 --> 00:07:59,439
Speaker 2: We know that.

112
00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 3: And Proverbs chapter twenty two, verse six, it says to

113
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,680
train up a child and the way he should go

114
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,560
and when he is old he would not depart from it.

115
00:08:09,319 --> 00:08:11,839
So we gonna go with a few things that it

116
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,079
is important to know that you things that you were

117
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,480
entitled to as a child, and things that you may

118
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,360
have not received as a child from your narcissistic parent.

119
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,839
And if you didn't, and guess what, you have to

120
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,159
grace yourself with those things. Excuse me that you were

121
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,679
not that you did not receive as a child. Number one,

122
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,799
you have the right to be treated as an important

123
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,600
human being with unique feelings, ideas, and desires that are

124
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,639
not an extension of your parents' unfulfilled dreams.

125
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,799
Speaker 2: What does this mean? You know, parents are to train

126
00:08:53,879 --> 00:08:54,759
their children in the.

127
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 3: World the Lord, but this does not mean to make

128
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,240
your dreams their Okay, so you may have wanted to

129
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:07,120
be this awesome football player, but it doesn't mean that

130
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:12,879
your child is going to excel in that same area. Therefore,

131
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:19,519
you were entitled to be your own unique individual because

132
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,159
God did not make two people the same.

133
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: Even though you may have twins.

134
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 3: There are still differences in those twins. Okay, you could

135
00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:31,519
be identical twins, you can look exactly the same, but

136
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,519
your personalities are not okay, your DNA. There's something different,

137
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:41,000
something unique about you. So even though you might be

138
00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:45,000
a twin or a six tuplet or a tuplet or whatever,

139
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,039
there's still something unique about you, and you are entitled

140
00:09:50,039 --> 00:09:51,799
to your uniqueness.

141
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 2: Number two, you.

142
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,039
Speaker 3: Have the right to have a sense of security and belonging,

143
00:10:00,159 --> 00:10:04,399
which comes should come from a loving and nurturing environment

144
00:10:04,879 --> 00:10:06,919
that does not do you harm.

145
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 2: And I want to give you a verse.

146
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 3: In First Timothy, chapter five, verse eight, it says, but

147
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,320
if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially

148
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,639
for the members of his household, he has denied the faith,

149
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,799
and it's worse than the unbeliever. So parents are supposed

150
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,679
to provide for their children's well being. That means sheltered,

151
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,120
that means food, that means clothes, safety, and.

152
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,879
Speaker 2: A warm, loving environment.

153
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,279
Speaker 3: Now you may not have been able to have the

154
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:40,600
best of those things for its name brand clothes or

155
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,960
the best name brands and food or whatever, But as

156
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,480
long as you were provided for to the best of

157
00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:53,440
your parents' ability and most importantly, loved. Narcissists do not

158
00:10:53,799 --> 00:10:57,480
truly know how to love. They go through the emotions,

159
00:10:57,519 --> 00:11:00,279
but they don't know how to love, especially when it

160
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,159
comes to children. The narcissist wants to look like they're

161
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,240
the epitome of a good parent when they're actually not

162
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:13,080
doing some things that require that that children need, and

163
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,039
that is a love, a loving.

164
00:11:15,919 --> 00:11:18,799
Speaker 2: And nurturing warm environment.

165
00:11:19,639 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 3: Number three, the children have the right to have listening

166
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,679
parents who care and will not reject and neglect them.

167
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,120
That means that parents can sometimes when you're dealing with

168
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,519
narcissistic parents, they can sometimes get so caught up in

169
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,879
their own world that they do not have time to

170
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,360
listen to the needs of their children, because at the

171
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,320
end of the day, the narcissists is more worried and

172
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:53,000
concerned about their own reputation for their own image rather

173
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:59,559
than it being real, so children can oftentimes feel neglected.

174
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,840
These parents do not allow their children to even mention

175
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,960
their needs and their feelings because narcissists are unempathetic, so

176
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,879
the child grows up thinking that their.

177
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,039
Speaker 2: Feelings do not matter.

178
00:12:14,159 --> 00:12:17,799
Speaker 3: You may have found yourself feeling this way as a child,

179
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,279
that your feelings didn't matter. But in James Chapter one,

180
00:12:21,399 --> 00:12:24,879
verse two, it says, know this, my beloved brothers. Let

181
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:30,279
every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, and

182
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,159
slow to anger. And so if you did not get

183
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,440
this as a child, then you were missing some essential

184
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:43,519
things that's important for your that was important for your

185
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:50,840
well roundedness as an adult. Number four, children have the

186
00:12:50,919 --> 00:12:55,919
right to express love and affection as well as receive

187
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,720
it from their parents without having to stifle that love

188
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,639
because of the fear of disapproval and rejection for showing emotion.

189
00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:07,759
Speaker 2: So children should not have to.

190
00:13:08,159 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 3: Feel should be able to feel an express love to

191
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:11,879
their parents.

192
00:13:12,399 --> 00:13:13,279
Speaker 2: This is a.

193
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 3: Natural born emotion that is given to everyone at birth,

194
00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:24,639
but it has to be nurtured. Okay, So parents should

195
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,679
say to their children, I love you, and it should

196
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:36,240
outweigh any negative thing that It should outweigh any negative negativity.

197
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: So what do I mean by that?

198
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 3: If you are always constantly criticizing your child always they're

199
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,559
never doing anything right? You never you very seldom say

200
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,960
I love you. So if your negativity outweighs your affirmation

201
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,720
for that child, then guess what that's not balanced.

202
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,759
Speaker 2: Your child should hear you say I love.

203
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:08,039
Speaker 3: You way more than any negative thing that you have

204
00:14:08,159 --> 00:14:11,879
to say. And this is even what constructive criticism. Yes,

205
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,399
you have to train children in the right way. But

206
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,000
the thing is they should always hear more of I

207
00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:21,440
love you, I love you, I love you, I support you,

208
00:14:21,559 --> 00:14:22,559
I stand by you.

209
00:14:22,559 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 2: You.

210
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 3: You know, they should hear more positive things, positive affirmations.

211
00:14:27,759 --> 00:14:30,559
Speaker 2: Than they do anything that's negative.

212
00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:34,879
Speaker 3: And Proverbs chapter twenty three, verses twenty four through twenty five,

213
00:14:34,919 --> 00:14:39,759
it says, the father of godly children has cause for joy.

214
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: What a pleasure to have children who are wise.

215
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,279
Speaker 3: So give your father and mother joy made she who

216
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:51,879
gave birth be happy. And children should be able to

217
00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:57,480
be happy in their parents, giving them love, attention, and joy,

218
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:02,159
far more than the constant criticism.

219
00:15:02,279 --> 00:15:03,399
Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna.

220
00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 3: Take a quick break and we'll be back in just

221
00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:08,320
a moment.

222
00:15:19,159 --> 00:15:25,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, sirs, the role for a answer. It's a praise

223
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,600

00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:45,759
worship him, but I felt him standing by.

227
00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:53,519
Speaker 6: It wasn't mad, it wasn't faith, It wasn't worthing moving.

228
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:54,279
Speaker 4: Through your faith.

229
00:15:55,320 --> 00:16:04,399
Speaker 5: God, love me, love you, he reminded. He still seized me.

230
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,600

Speaker 4: That glory belongs to him, but you loved me. Had

236
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:40,559

237
00:16:42,039 --> 00:16:43,759

00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:52,799
Speaker 4: Heavy side. Let's not so safe, my God, whisper and beast.

240
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 6: I'm already on the lake.

241
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 4: You'll never met Tony places.

242
00:17:01,399 --> 00:17:01,440

Speaker 7: Godation?

248
00:17:39,279 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 6: That that's the hard and what I now was I answers.

249
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,279
Speaker 7: Claims the fool guy always did.

250
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 4: A FRIDI the PRIs center.

251
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:08,759
Speaker 8: God let me, yes, hasn't men displace out of God?

252
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 6: A blessing? Please join me in my space a prison

253
00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:18,359
all the way, lot of me.

254
00:18:19,079 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 4: Me back to truth wherever I will test it. God

255
00:18:25,279 --> 00:18:25,759
let me.

256
00:18:32,039 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 5: All Glartine the water bo who shows his hat to

257
00:18:36,839 --> 00:18:37,279
kore me.

258
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:59,799
Speaker 2: M God met me in your eyes. I love that song.

259
00:18:59,839 --> 00:19:02,640
That is a beautiful, beautiful song. All right.

260
00:19:02,799 --> 00:19:06,799
Speaker 3: So we're talking about things that you know for as

261
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,920
you needed in your childhood, so basically healing, healing your

262
00:19:12,039 --> 00:19:16,920
inner child and even if you did not receive some

263
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:22,480
of these things, gracing yourself with these things if you're able.

264
00:19:22,279 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 2: To, as well as being able to if you have children,

265
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,519
to ensure that you're giving these things to your children.

266
00:19:31,079 --> 00:19:34,519
Number five, children have the right to grow and thrive in.

267
00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:41,279
Speaker 3: An atmosphere free of mistreatment, abuse, and niglect. Children should

268
00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:44,799
not have to fear their parents, and they should know

269
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,839
that even when their parents discipline them, it is not

270
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,920
in an abusive manner. Okay, there's a healthy discipline, and

271
00:19:53,079 --> 00:19:58,880
there's a type of discipline that is peer abuse. So

272
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,039
parents that care for their children in a loving way,

273
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,279
it should be done with free from violence and free

274
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,519
from the fear of abandonment rather that's physically or emotionally.

275
00:20:10,799 --> 00:20:13,319
So a child should never think, oh, my parent is

276
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:14,720
gonna abandon me if I'm not.

277
00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 2: Good enough, if I'm not perfect, if I mess up.

278
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,680
In Ephesians chapter six, verse four, it says, fathers, do

279
00:20:22,839 --> 00:20:25,920
not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up

280
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,839
in the discipline and instruction.

281
00:20:28,559 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 3: Of the Lord.

282
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: And we do not serve an abuse of God. So

283
00:20:33,839 --> 00:20:36,480
some children have been abused.

284
00:20:36,599 --> 00:20:38,559
Speaker 3: You may have been abused, and they may not have

285
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,519
even been physically, but you may Some have endured physical abuse,

286
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,519
some have endured sexual abuse.

287
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 2: Some have endured verbal abuse.

288
00:20:47,319 --> 00:20:51,559
Speaker 3: You know, you should never call your child stupid or

289
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,400
make your child feel like they're undeserving of love.

290
00:20:55,759 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 2: You should never. And another, let me just say this,

291
00:20:58,279 --> 00:21:04,119
another form of abuse is also throwing up your child's past.

292
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,559
Speaker 3: You know, if your child made mistakes when they were younger,

293
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:12,000
but they have grown into this wonderful adult and have

294
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,839
changed in everything. Constantly throwing up when they was a child,

295
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,680
or when they was a teenager or something. That's still

296
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:25,279
another form of abuse. And you have parents want that

297
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,680
loves to hang things over their children's head as a

298
00:21:30,039 --> 00:21:35,839
method of control, and that is still abuse. So you

299
00:21:36,039 --> 00:21:39,839
are entitled, and you were entitled as a child to

300
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,759
be abused free. And if you have children, your children

301
00:21:43,839 --> 00:21:49,240
are entitled to be abused free. Number six, the right

302
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,160
to know that Children have the right to know that

303
00:21:52,319 --> 00:21:56,319
their parents' poor decisions, mistakes, and failures in life are

304
00:21:56,559 --> 00:22:01,480
not their fault, whether it's me. Children should not be

305
00:22:01,599 --> 00:22:04,200
made to be the scapegoat for what goes wrong between

306
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,279
the parents' marriage or other adult situations that they had

307
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:09,680
no control over.

308
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 2: Children should not be made to choose.

309
00:22:12,039 --> 00:22:16,039
Speaker 3: Between their parents at any time, nor should they be

310
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,079
brought into your arguments.

311
00:22:18,759 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 2: So if you are if you're having some.

312
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 3: Kind of argument between you and your spouse, do not

313
00:22:24,799 --> 00:22:27,519
bring your children in the middle of that. And if

314
00:22:27,599 --> 00:22:30,559
you were a child that was brought into the middle

315
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,599
that you felt like I had to choose between my

316
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:40,000
parents or I had there was there was issues that

317
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,759
was going on that I was always to blame for

318
00:22:43,079 --> 00:22:44,200
because of my parents.

319
00:22:44,319 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 2: That was unfair.

320
00:22:47,039 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 3: And so one thing we know about narcissists is that

321
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,519
they transfer blame on to whoever the target of their

322
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,440
of their narcissistic rage, and that is oftentimes especially when

323
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:03,519
you're underage children. But in Proverbs chapter twenty eight, verse thirteen,

324
00:23:03,559 --> 00:23:08,000
it says whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but

325
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:13,119
he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.

326
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:15,839
Speaker 2: Number seven.

327
00:23:16,039 --> 00:23:21,039
Speaker 3: Number seven of children have the right to have proper

328
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,039
care and guidance from parents, where they can be educated

329
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,839
in their mind, their body, and spirit. And they love

330
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:34,759
an environment free from abusive conditions and any type of conditions.

331
00:23:34,839 --> 00:23:37,599
This means that children should be should never be made

332
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,319
to feel that they must earn their parent's love and affection.

333
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,559
If you bring a child into this world that means

334
00:23:44,599 --> 00:23:48,079
that you should love that child because that child did

335
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,039
not ask to be here. This should be regardless of

336
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,519
what the child does or doesn't do. If children are

337
00:23:54,759 --> 00:23:58,359
made to feel that they must work for their parents' love,

338
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,599
then they will always go through life feeling as if

339
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,720
they must earn the love of others.

340
00:24:03,799 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 2: This is how people often become people pleasers.

341
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,279
Speaker 3: Take, and this places them also in a position to

342
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:17,359
be taken advantage of or abused and Psalms Chop the

343
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,240
one twenty seven, verses three through five, It says, behold,

344
00:24:20,319 --> 00:24:22,960
children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of

345
00:24:23,039 --> 00:24:26,079
the wound, a reward like arrows in the hand of

346
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,319
a warrior, or the children of one's youth blesses the

347
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,359
man who fills his quiver with them.

348
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 2: He should not be put to shame when he speaks

349
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,319
with his enemies in the gate.

350
00:24:35,839 --> 00:24:39,839
Speaker 3: And this means that children parents should treat their children

351
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,400
as if they are a gift. Okay, they're not something

352
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:48,160
that you're entitled to. They are a gift from the Lord.

353
00:24:48,279 --> 00:24:51,759
And therefore anyone who has a child should treat their

354
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:58,720
children as gifts, okay, gifts from the Lord. And therefore,

355
00:24:58,759 --> 00:25:04,680
when you mistreat your children, then you're dishonoring the gift

356
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,640
that God has given to you.

357
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 2: So if you were.

358
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:13,039
Speaker 3: Mistreated as a child, then your parents dishonor.

359
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 2: The gifts that God gave to them.

360
00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 3: Number eight the right the children have the right to

361
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,519
honest answers to questions about God and life.

362
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,839
Speaker 2: You know, many parents are not honest with their children.

363
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,079
Speaker 3: They tend to lie because they expect their they expect

364
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,359
their children to tell the truth, but they lie to

365
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:36,039
their children.

366
00:25:36,319 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 2: This does not mean that children should.

367
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,799
Speaker 3: Know everything about your problems or everything that's going on.

368
00:25:42,319 --> 00:25:47,160
But when children ask for answers about life, concerning whether

369
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,440
it's the family, you should give them honest answers or

370
00:25:50,559 --> 00:25:53,200
say you know what this is not You're not at

371
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,319
the age appropriate well at the appropriate age for me

372
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,720
to discuss this with you, but I will do so

373
00:26:00,519 --> 00:26:03,839
later on. Okay, So do not lie to your children.

374
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,480
If your children or needed to know clarity or about

375
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,200
things that's going on, and especially when it comes to God.

376
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,960
You know, parents, sometimes when you do the one narcissists.

377
00:26:16,319 --> 00:26:20,319
Narcissists will have a child thinking that God is against

378
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,759
them and all for the abuse that the narcissist is

379
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,000
doing and Therefore that's called spiritual abuse. But in Proverbs

380
00:26:28,079 --> 00:26:30,960
chapter one, verses eight through nine, it says, here, my son,

381
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:35,319
your father's instruction and forsake, not your mother's teaching, For

382
00:26:35,519 --> 00:26:38,920
they are graceful garland around your head and penance for

383
00:26:39,039 --> 00:26:42,720
your neck. This means that children that you know children

384
00:26:42,839 --> 00:26:45,640
or to listen to their parents when their parents are

385
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:46,880
speaking honestly.

386
00:26:48,279 --> 00:26:48,599
Speaker 2: Okay.

387
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 3: This means don't lie to your children just because their children.

388
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,319
It might be some things you can't share with them

389
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:59,359
at the moment, but don't lie to them. Number nine,

390
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,319
have the right to have a relationship with both parents,

391
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:08,759
regardless of parental agreements. Now, many children are the innocent

392
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,480
victims of parent wars. Okay, the parents use the children

393
00:27:13,559 --> 00:27:16,279
as weapons to get back at the other parent.

394
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 2: Now, when it comes to abuse, make no mistake that

395
00:27:20,759 --> 00:27:23,720
the parent has a right to protect the children.

396
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 3: Okay, they have a duty to protect protect the welfare

397
00:27:28,759 --> 00:27:30,079
of the children involved.

398
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 2: However, if a parent is using a children just to.

399
00:27:34,519 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 3: Get back and hurt the other parent, just because they're

400
00:27:38,599 --> 00:27:42,519
having issues, then that is still a form of abuse

401
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,519
by denying the children the benefits and love and attention.

402
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,039
Speaker 2: From the other parent.

403
00:27:48,759 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 3: So if you were a child that was denied being

404
00:27:51,519 --> 00:27:55,039
able to see your other parent because of their issues,

405
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,440
then that was also a form of abuse. In Luke

406
00:27:58,519 --> 00:28:01,240
chapter seventeen, verse two, it says it would be better

407
00:28:01,319 --> 00:28:04,640
for him if a milestone were hung around his neck

408
00:28:05,039 --> 00:28:07,759
and he were cast into the sea, then he should

409
00:28:07,839 --> 00:28:12,039
cause one of these little ones to sin. Don't hurt

410
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,559
your child just because you're trying to get back at

411
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:20,519
someone else. We're gonna take another break and we'll be back.

412
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:21,799
Speaker 2: In just a moment.

Speaker 6: About my faith and that bollogy mean God, the sobby

435

Speaker 8: God.

436
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,559
Speaker 4: So I decided.

437
00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:44,119
Speaker 2: And that is you, me and God.

438
00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:49,799
Speaker 3: Alright, alright, So we're coming to a close and getting

439
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:55,759
ready to wrap this up, but I want to go

440
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,119
over a couple more things. Children have the right of

441
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,599
being struck according to their age and mental capacity and

442
00:32:03,839 --> 00:32:08,200
be held accountable for their own actions accordingly. So one

443
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,359
thing is important for people to remember is that children

444
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:16,920
should not be considered adults. They should be a judge

445
00:32:17,079 --> 00:32:22,319
age appropriately. Okay, they should be allowed to be children. Yes,

446
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,480
you hold them accountable for their own actions, but for

447
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,960
what they're able to understand and what they're able to comprehend.

448
00:32:30,079 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 2: Remember, they are not adults. And you may have been

449
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,519
been raised as uh uh as an adult when you

450
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,720
were actually a child. You may have been.

451
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,759
Speaker 3: Expected to do things and understand things as an adult,

452
00:32:44,799 --> 00:32:47,599
when you were put in the position that you should

453
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:48,440
not have been in.

454
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 2: As a child.

455
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,079
Speaker 3: In Deuteronomy, chapter twenty four, verse sixteen, it says fathers

456
00:32:54,559 --> 00:32:57,920
fathers should not uh be put to death because of

457
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,680
their children, nor shall should s no sh nor shall

458
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,559
children be put to death because of their fathers. Each

459
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,759
one shall be put to death for their own sin.

460
00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:10,960
And these were things that was taking place in the

461
00:33:11,519 --> 00:33:14,559
doing the life of the children of Israel, when God

462
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,720
was saying that, you know, everyone is accountable for their

463
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:22,960
own actions. Okay, so whole children of course accountable for

464
00:33:23,119 --> 00:33:27,799
their own actions, not because of something that that's beyond

465
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:33,160
their years, or because you're trying to get back at

466
00:33:33,599 --> 00:33:35,759
maybe the other parent or something like that.

467
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,519
Speaker 2: And you may have gone through this as a child.

468
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 3: And let me just say this, if you have any

469
00:33:42,039 --> 00:33:44,759
of these things we're talking about today, if you have

470
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,480
dealt with these things and you need healing, talk to

471
00:33:48,599 --> 00:33:52,079
a therapist. Do not be afraid to talk to a therapist.

472
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,119
You don't have to announce it to anyone unless you

473
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,319
just want to. But you know what that's between you

474
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,799
and that that particular therapist, counselor whoever you decide to.

475
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:05,759
Speaker 2: Talk to so that get you can heal your inner child.

476
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,639
Speaker 3: Last, but not least, children have the right to be

477
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,960
able to decide their own life's purpose.

478
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,119
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna put within the.

479
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:21,199
Speaker 3: Confines of God, children should be able to they should

480
00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:24,960
be encouraged to follow their own course of life. And

481
00:34:25,079 --> 00:34:26,840
what I mean by that, you know, for those of

482
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,960
us who are Christians within the will of God. So

483
00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:33,199
parents are to train and they are to guide their children,

484
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,760
but not make their children an extension of them.

485
00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 2: That means that.

486
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,280
Speaker 3: Children have the right to follow the path that God

487
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,639
has given them. Okay, they can make their own decisions,

488
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,480
make their own choices once they leave the nest. In

489
00:34:47,679 --> 00:34:51,119
Isaiah chapter fifty four, verse thirteen, it says, all your

490
00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:54,159
children should be taught by the Lord, and great shall

491
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,039
be the peace of your children.

492
00:34:58,239 --> 00:34:59,280
Speaker 2: Parents are to.

493
00:35:00,159 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 3: Guide their children, treat them with love and kindness, regardless

494
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,679
of the situations that the parents find themselves in.

495
00:35:07,199 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 2: The children should not.

496
00:35:08,599 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 3: Be the blame, should not be the scapegoat, should not

497
00:35:12,039 --> 00:35:14,760
be made to feel that they are the issues that's

498
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,079
wrong with the adults in their life.

499
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:18,760
Speaker 2: If parents are dealing.

500
00:35:18,599 --> 00:35:21,519
Speaker 3: With issues, they need to be responsible for their own

501
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:27,880
issues and not victimize their children. If your parents victimized you,

502
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:33,599
it was an unfortunate situation and it was not your fault.

503
00:35:34,039 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 2: You had nothing to do with the abuse that they

504
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:37,440
gave to you.

505
00:35:38,039 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 3: You do not have the bear to cross that they

506
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,000
should be burying them, that they should be carrying themselves.

507
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:49,559
Speaker 2: And everyone has to carry their own cross, including your parents.

508
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 3: And if you were victimized by your parents and you

509
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:58,280
were made to feel that you were responsible for previous generations,

510
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:03,400
then try to get some counseling so that you can

511
00:36:03,599 --> 00:36:07,119
let go of that load, because it is time for

512
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:11,920
you to unburden yourself so that you can be free.

513
00:36:12,079 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 2: To be who God has called for you to be.

514
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,679
Speaker 3: And an in Galatian shot, the five verse one, it says,

515
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,880
for freedom, Christ has.

516
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:22,679
Speaker 2: Set us free.

517
00:36:23,159 --> 00:36:27,519
Speaker 3: Stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a

518
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,039
yoke of slavery.

519
00:36:29,519 --> 00:36:32,119
Speaker 2: And what this means is whom the son says free

520
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:32,639
is free.

521
00:36:32,679 --> 00:36:37,039
Speaker 3: Indeed, that means that you're free from the burdens of

522
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:41,000
what your parents put on you because of their lack

523
00:36:41,079 --> 00:36:46,159
of responsibility. And therefore, if you found yourself in a

524
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,960
situation like this, get the help that you need to

525
00:36:50,159 --> 00:36:55,239
heal your inner child. Talk to a therapist, talk to

526
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,039
a counselor talk to someone who can support you and

527
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:05,159
aid you. And healing from those wounds, those staffs, those

528
00:37:05,679 --> 00:37:13,000
herbs that caused you to maybe become traumatized and damaged

529
00:37:13,119 --> 00:37:18,000
in life. All right, we are a body here, I

530
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:23,440
pray that today's podcast has been a blessing.

531
00:37:23,119 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 2: To you and that you will know that your feelings

532
00:37:27,079 --> 00:37:27,679
do matter.

533
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,280
Speaker 3: This is doctor k O Richard mark Abus, no more

534
00:37:31,760 --> 00:38:03,360
until the next weeks.
