- C.S. Lewis Inspired: 3 Signs God is Telling You to Give Up on Someone | C.S Lewis Sermons
C.S. Lewis Sermons is a channel dedicated to sharing messages that uplift the soul and strengthen the Christian faith of our community.
We have a deep admiration for C.S. Lewis, and in each video, we explore his spiritual insights and ideas. However, we always keep the Bible at the core, as our ultimate source of truth and inspiration, guiding every message we share. Some reflections focus solely on Lewis's teachings, while others blend his unique perspectives with the eternal lessons of Scripture.
May each message serve as a reminder that God’s truth is always within reach, ready to transform our spirits at every step of the journey. "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." - C.S. Lewis
Clive Staples Lewis (1898 - 1963) Age 64.

This sermon is gold! How many of us including Christians are confused over forgiveness and reconciliation , thinking that we are doing good while doing harm to our spiritual growth of ourselves and others in reality.
Heck yes, lived this a few times over…fellow Christian
Thank you for such a thoughtful reflection! You’re absolutely right-there’s often confusion between forgiveness and reconciliation. Forgiveness is about releasing bitterness and finding freedom in our hearts, while reconciliation requires mutual effort and trust, which isn’t always possible or healthy. It’s such a profound reminder that forgiveness isn’t weakness; it’s a strength that nurtures our spiritual growth and allows us to align closer with God’s grace. Your insight will resonate with so many-thank you for sharing it!
Agree! That’s our hidden demon. Being careful is important.
A difficult concept but a co-dependency relationship is toxic. Alhough we help with burdens everyone must carry their own burden (singular) and reposibility for their own lives.
Ugh that’s where I get confused I forgive and forgive but no reconciliation
I’ve been praying so hard for God to change my adulterous, abusive husband’s mindset, for God to make him give up his illicit relationship with another woman, his physical & mental abusive behaviour towards me. But here we are - I’ve been wrong all along. I see now what I must do - leave it to God to sort out.
Thank you. It is a relief to hand to God my broken marriage relationship, the deep unhappiness thinking this is my fault because my husband has told me so, despite the fact that he has another woman to soothe his bruised ego. I ask God’s help to help me fight the good fight & let him go. Oh Jesus come to my aid. In Your Name I ask this, Amen.
😢😢 I pray for your peace and healing. Trust in God for he is the way maker ,miracle worker, promise keeper, light in the darkness. He is your true friend.
Hey! I just want to let you know that Jesus loves you and does not want to be an abusive and toxic relationship. Just a few months ago I just came out of a toxic relationship that was not good for me. But God was faithful to bring me out of it. I pray that Jesus leads you out of this marriage and into an abundant life, fully joy, and love. ❤
God bless your precious heart, my sister in Christ. I will absolutely be praying for you. Stay strong in the Lord and for the Lord’s love for you. God will not leave you nor forsake you.
In these situations it’s difficult to forgive. You need to realize that you have done everything that you possibly could and don’t blame yourself for the actions of another. Don’t feel shame for the lost time or efforts you’ve placed since they came from a well intended place but forgive yourself and know that God has already forgiven you.
I wished I heard this message 22 years ago
I am going through pain and frustration due to my husbands behaviour .please pray for me
I'm Praying for you....I relate to your pain...
I also relate to your pain. I pray GOD helps and encourages you and all that are in these situations I was deceived going into this relationship and now I’m trapped because of age and money. So pray for me too
@foreverblest54 I'm 68. God only released me 8 months ago from 44 years of (mostly) misery. Starting over at this age is.... well, interesting to say the least. Don't lose heart. Keep looking up, for your Redemption draws nigh.❤
Thank you for your encouraging response and prayers
Just said a prayer for you, and we will let God do the rest ❤
1 - Establish healthy boundaries
2 - Allow space for clarity
3 - Seek wise counsel
Ty
amen!
The relationship (at 66) I'm into-I've been questioning it for a long time. Just this morning (AGAIN) I woke up questioning this "relationship". I deserve better. I deserve someone committed TO GOD, and then to me. And this guy is not. I've been hanging on. I guess because I just don't want to be alone. So with this being said, I'm done in this so-called relationship. I need/want a Godly, country guy walking with me. And if God wants me to walk alone the rest of my life, it's better than what I have now. Thank you for this. I needed it!
I'm 66 too and hanging on to a guy for fear of being alone. Your words are true. We can do this. There's far worse things than being alone and we are never alone if we walk with God. ❤
Very tough situation. You’re not alone.
You go Girl! God bless you and keep you.
@terrimurray9466
Ahhhhhhh, thank you!
How about lead him to Christ.
Paul says to stay even other one is not Godly.
Fornication is the only legitimate reason to end a marriage.
1 Cor 15:33 Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
Thank you! Another little gem to take with me today! 💎
Amen!!!
What a powerful verse to hold onto! 💎 It’s such a great reminder that the people we surround ourselves with can deeply influence our walk, both positively and negatively. Guarding our hearts while staying grounded in truth is so important. I’m glad this resonated with you-keep carrying these little gems as they shine light on your journey! ✨
Love❤ I needed this
In life’s toughest storms, God’s love is our safe harbor. Trust Him, and may everyone who reads this find peace and happiness.
Thank you!
Literally PERFECT TIMING.. angels walk with me, I am shielded by faith
❤. I wish I could have heard this 15 years ago. Better late than never.
Angels walk with me, I'm shielded by grace 💯
I really struggled with wanting to leave but not believing in divorce. I endured a lot of neglect and emotional abuse, more than any woman should ever have to. His affair, then the abandonment pushed me over the edge. I couldn’t take his mistreatment anymore so I caved, I agreed to a divorce. I woke up the next morning feeling so free, so light-a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. I never looked back-the only regrets I have is the feeling of letting God and my child down-I felt like I failed them but I feel like I’ve been given a second chance at life. I love how happy I am today. I remind myself that I have faith that God will forgive me. This video helps reinforce my decision. Thank you
You hav done nothing wrong. He broke the marriage covenant by cheating on you and your vows and that is grounds for divorce oin the bible. Stop with the non constructive guilt! It does not serve God or you at all. Read your bible and you see that I am telling you yu have zero reason for guilt. I hope you fall deeply in mutual love with someone Godly! God gave you a huge blessing with the divorce. Have faith.
@ Thank you 😊 I appreciate you reconfirming it all for me. The gaslighting really messed up my thinking.
God has already forgiven you, you just need to embrace it. He loves you as His child remember that ❤❤❤
GOD’s angels walk with me and I am shield by GOD’s grace
Powerful message. Sometimes, letting go is the hardest, but it's necessary for growth.
I am 34 years into a toxic relationship complicated by mental illness. At that time I went on a walk with the pastor who gently asked me if it was what I really wanted. Of course at that young age I had twisted view of loyalty = codependency traits. So I wholeheartedly endorse this vid that let’s not get it mixed up - love is not codependency. Love is not painful or complicated. Move on when signs are there. Amen.
You don't need that kind of abuse you deserve people who will build you up not tear you down!
@williambowes amen to that!! And it’s very important to recognise harmful patterns early on as our children pick up the habits too. I’ve noticed my daughter has become entangled in abusive relationships. Trauma passes down the generations in this way. Let love routed in Christs truth help us grow in faith and trust Gods plan for our lives.
@MayuriPatel-iw5xo your daughter doesn't need that abusive crap, it'll do terrible things to her self esteem :( but it takes courage to walk away to say eneough and have faith that something better is out there
Listening to this has been eye-opening. My co-dependency is with my oldest son, and I have been enabling him for far too long! God‘s timing is absolutely perfect, I needed to hear this desperately!
Please, my brothers and sisters, keep me in your prayers for strength and wisdom to do the right thing in this situation. It is very, very difficult to turn your back on your children. But I know, without a doubt, that God himself and his angels Will protect my son! 🙏
I am in the same situation.
This wouldn’t be turning your back on your child, it’s for his own good and shows that you love him.
So sorry for your pain 🙏 I have had to let my only child go due to her constant emotional and financial abuse of me. So I’ve lost my granddaughters as well 💔💔
Peace and Love to you 🙏❤️
@@SusanAversa-fl8qj my daughter is the same way. Since she and her kids live with me it would be too difficult to let the kids suffer, so I just put up with it. I finally told her it I have turned her over to God since I can't live like this any more.
This is exactly why I needed to hear this 😢 Thank you
Together we can support one another in choosing GOD's power for our relationships!
Angels walk with me, offering wisdom and divine love. ❤
This sermon has helped me pray through and let go of my relationship with my brother. The holidays were so difficult due to this toxic relationship; forgiveness each time over and over gives me that peace that surpasses all understanding. Now I need to have boundaries in place.
Thank you for sharing your journey-it’s incredibly moving to see how you’re embracing forgiveness, even in the midst of such a challenging situation. Letting go and finding peace through prayer is no small feat, especially when it involves someone as close as a sibling. Setting boundaries is such a wise and courageous step, too. They’re not about cutting off love but protecting your heart and fostering healthier interactions. I’ll be keeping you in my thoughts as you navigate this, and I’m praying for continued strength and peace for you. You’re doing such meaningful work in your healing journey!
Angels walk with me and I am shielded by God‘s grace❤🙏🏻
God have mercy show yourself strong on my behalf, deliver us from evil🙏🏽
Yes, and most of the ones I have had to leave, is my family. Many friends were only pretending to be a Christian.
Wow! Here I am today trusting in Gods guidance after trying to be the best caregiver I could be with Gods graces for four years before walking away 😢
God is with me every step of the way. He sends His ministering angels to watch over me.
I have learned this after divorce. Its wonderful to have this here to help others that haven't learned it yet. Please listen, pray about it & let God direct you. Its painful, but he saves us from more pain in the future. God knows you best & what is best for you. God bless.
Perfect timing , I just walked away
Same here !
@@supersonic7477how you feeling?
@@christianyoung5938 Happy of my decision ! My heart is guarded now ! Goodbye situationship ..
I needed to hear this msge.Thank you Holy Spirit!I was so confused with my situation with a narcissistic husband of 38 yrs.My whole life I have been compromising my life with him.But now I have been dumped by him.Though we live in the same house,I finally decided to stand for myself.This msg is an eye opener! God bless you!
I can relate. Mine was 24 yrs., but I don’t want him in my presence again. I asked him to leave. We have 4 teens and I recently graduated from 7 mo. of therapy. That is where I learned that I was in a narcissistic abusive marriage. I didn’t even know what that was. I’ve been learning ever since. I haven’t spoken to him in 8 months. I only allow text and email. We grew up together and have known each other for 34 yrs. since we were kids. I have a large support system and I joined a church and am moving on with my life while unraveling this ball of manipulation, deceit, lies, self doubt, confusion, hurt, pain etc. I pray God give you and I and all like us, the peace and love that He desires for us, His children.
Get a lawyer who will fight for you and get out. I spent 30 yrs. married to a man who committed adultery more times than I know. Always cried and swore to change. Did he? Are you kidding? He loved the excitement of philandering. It was an addiction at my expense. I contracted venereal diseases; I cried with heartbreak losing precious hours of my life because of this evil. Get a lawyer. the house is yours, plus alimony and a 50-50 split of assets. Save what's left of the precious lifeGod has given you. When you are treated like this that is not possible.
This is so true, if you think of the person whom claims to love you and yet makes you feel down, that's an indication that this is a person who does not have your best interests at heart. These people can be loved from afar, it is not easy to step away, truly, however one step at a time.
Relationship no matter what, should bring you peace, guard your heart. Amen! Great video.
This message has touched my heart and I trust Gods plan for my life
Angels walk with me I am shielded by Love ❤️
C.S. Lewis is my favorite!
Thank you for sharing the treasures of wisdom he left for us to enjoy and use to grow in Christ!
Angels walk with me I’m guarded by Grace in the name of Jesus
Angles walk with me and I am guided by God's truth
God knows best for his children. Give😢your life to him and Obey.❤
God's word tells us to not fellowship with believers that continue in unrepentant sin
Thank you. Do you know where the verse or verses can be found?
Angels walk with me; and I am shielded by God's Grace!
Angels walk with me and I am guided by God's truth 🙏
I have a friend that has been in and out of my life for a long time. We had a falling out and the hurt from this is being carried on now for about 5 years. I believe I was codependent on her at that time but God has shown me that the situation is not healed on her part. She has used guilt and manipulation to to make me think I owe her money. I think God is saying step back and let her work it out much praying is healing and helping me realize. I may have grown used to this. But now God is showing me to be very careful and not resentful but allow Holy Spirit to do these things job. I’m so grateful to God I have found a way to set boundaries without hurting. Much grace is being given as I also repent of allowing this to happen. Praise God there is true freedom in Christ and Christ alone. ❤️🕊️🙏
Sometimes setting boundaries does hurt people. Set your boundaries, regardless.
@@gemini1971jln thank you it has been helping with grace I’m able to keep my peace and not stress about her.
Good for you Victoria. It’s painful confusing and hard but your attitude is spot on as I’ve been in a similar situation with an old friend who I love have done everything to understand what happened. He’s not at all interested so I decided to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ on this and has helped me as he always does tremendously. Sometimes best things to do? LET GO. Blessings to you as you journey closer to discernment and the ways of God
Angels walk with me, I'm shielded with God's Grace. Amen.
Amen! Angels walk with me, I’m shielded by grace.
Angels walk with me and I am Shield by His Grace
😮 wow this tells me that mine and my husband’s relationship is out of alignment with God’s plan and I could feel that, I just couldn’t find the right words for it but here it is. I’m struggling daily just to be in the same room with my husband he tears me down every chance he gets and he never lets me forget the things I’ve done wrong 😑 IN HIS EYES 👀…which is usually something he’s done or doing and is in turn saying I’m the one doing it 😢 he’s “gaslighting” me 😢.
Wow 🤯 Just WOW 🤯
I am in this situation. With a lot of verbal abuse directed to my children. God is opening up my eyes and I’m gonna step out in faith. I’m planning my escape. May God be with you, sister 🙏
😢🫂🙏🏻
The same as my husband 😢
I trust God and will provide all what I need in all aspects of my life. God, the Best Manager.
God have mercy on me ! Angels walk with me and guide me.
I am thankful for this message it says what the Holy Spirit tells me and observing it and listening to people talk and express themselves it's so true he does want us in Jesus mighty name amen❤
After nearly 43 years of marriage I’m realizing what has been happening in our relationship.
I am at the very end of my rope. Nobody wants to see my husband’s behavior and I usually end up being blamed for it…if I just would do my part.
I’ve lost hope and faith in God. I doubt myself and even wonder if I am the narcissist.
I have to say though that it seems that God provided a friend now who sees, hears, and understands.
I hope that someday the darkness will be lifted.
Prayers for you!
If you question your a narcissist then YOUR NOT!!! Trust me he has gaslight you all these years to make you think your the problem.. FALSE!! It's funny that we are the ones that have problems and it's us being crazy or just too sensitive. It's THEM!! I would record fights with him and see how much he twist things for his benefit only!! I will pray for you to see your strength that you don't have to put up with him treating you like crap. ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!! Hugs!!!
Me too. 43 miserable years… nobody knows what he’s really like. I’ve been battling such heavy depression lately. I’m believing God is going to heal me this year of my broken heart. Been seeing “there is a time to heal” from Ecclesiastes 3 a lot lately. I will pray for you as well🙏🏻🫂
You may be angry and have some of those behaviors learned from the narcissist but your not, beleive me ,no narcissist ever asks himself that question, it’s allways someone else’s fault in their eyes.
Angels walk with me, I am shielded by Grace
Amen. Boundaries to stay away from those who install division from Godliness are mandatory.
This was meant for me! I heard God's voice. Thank you.
Thanks you for this … I woke up early this morning Tried to nudge my partner awake to spend a few moments together before the day begins …. I often do this … this morning as usual I was met with a tired and hardened heart that didn’t care that I value that time and wanted to share it … it’s my fault for giving a human the time that rightly belongs to God .
I had seen this is my relationship with my sister. After 30 years of her manipulation, deception, anger, jealousy, and false accusations - the last time we had an altercation, she had so tried my patience with her that I had grabbed hold of her shirt in frustration! The moment I realized that, I felt something w/in me that told me she was spiritually unhealthy for me and for the sake of my integrity and spiritual health I had to get her out of my life. I had crossed a boundary, and it had to end.
It is astounding the amount of stress 1 evil person can bring into your life: confusion, guilt, anger, depression and discouragement. It simply must end or it will change you. "Can you take fire to your breast and not get burned?" - the scripture asks. Accepting a person who constantly dumps their bad behavior, rotten attitude, arrogant manipulation tactics, and false accusations on you is like taking fire to your breast (the most tender and intimate part of you!) - don't be fooled into thinking you won't get burned!!
Bless you and thank you! Wise words and Godly wisdom.
Yes this message has touched my heart indeed. In this "time of space" help me to find who I am in you, and that healthy boundaries can only help break these vicious cycles, heal and grow us closer to God. Only by His grace are we saved!
Angels walk with me, I am guided by God’s Grace. Thank you God. Amen
Angels walk with me. I AM shielded by FAITH ❤
Im only half way into the video and I feel like God is directly speaking to me. I needed so much comfort and love from him last night. I got it, got home safe and slept amazing. Now this video is reassuring why he did what he did. Thank you, God ❤ wishing everyone peace and happiness.
Angels walk with me I am shield by Grace
This message definitely resonates with me regarding my abusive emotionally son.
I can relate. Sorry, you are dealing with this too.
Do either or both of you find that no one understands what this is like, and they judge and maybe even condemn you for having to make this decision? There is no one to safely and unconditionally talk to about this. It can cause people to stop being friends with you if you have to walk away from an adult child.
@@doriesse824 my husband, not his father (I never remarried because I didn’t want him to be a child in a stepfamily, and not treated equally) certainly sees very clearly, and many other friends.
@@katjo71367 and I’m sorry you are, too. 💕

God Bless Brothers and Sisters 🙏🙏🙏
At first I thought this is not for me. The more I listened, the more I saw myself . So true!
Angles walk with me I am rooted in Christ
You have ministered to my heart!

Together we can support one another in choosing God's path for our relationships 🙏 ❤
This showed up in my day of praying for clarity! It was 🎯 and I love that it provides scripture! The compromised becomes normalized 😢facts when you're dealing w/a Narcissist. I had to examine my invested time w/no moral,emotional, physical or spiritual growth, just merely a idle distraction for me as I have been a mental stimulation for this handsome damaged bachelor.
Angels walk with me, I am shielded with faith.
If everyone followed, this advice, there would be a lot more healthy, normal, happy, committed relationships
Oh Jesus guide me🙏you are my Lord & Savior🙏
Together, we can support one another in choosing God's path in our relationships.
I needed this. I don’t need to put up with constant put down as I grown in Christ. Like I liked who you used to be from my disloyal lying , womanizing, drinking, gambling husband. If I confront him on any of his sin, he accuses me of having a mouth out of control, and how unlike A Christian I am. Enough is enough. Please pray for me. I can’t take it anymore, but I don’t want to disappoint my heavenly father, who sent his only son to die for my sin. 🙏🙏
You won't disappoint our Father. He loves you and hates the evil being imposed on you by a hypocrite, liar and unrepentant sinner. GET OUT! Let God provide for you the future he has planned, not for hardship, but for good things ahead.
You know holiness, you know good, if he speaks ill to you in the face of that then that is no partner in Christ at all. Put love first. If it can’t flourish with him, then it must flourish away from him
This sermon spoke to me as I am currently walking through this valley and struggling with this topic
Great sermon. Angels walk with me and I am shielded by faith ❤
Amen 🙏 So true, Very important listen to God word, I see it now, My God strengthen me with Guidance & protection 🙏 Thank you, God bless!
Pray seek truth ❤
Amen to this!!
This is the best thing for anyone that loves an alcoholic or addict to hear!
For forgiveness first they need to ask. Sometimes they wont. We need to ask Jesus for our forgiveness.
Amen! I agree with this message completely! ❤
Thanks!

Beautiful and realistic knowledge to adhere to according to God’s plan. Amen
This sermon is so true
I watch UTube C.J. Lewis in the Mornings. I find his Sermons very helpful. I have a person who I have known a while and she is the most negative person I ever have conversations with. During Covid it was exhausting and now after reading and hearing the Sermons here of C.J. Lewis I am glad that my "silence" is my power for myself to not get sucked in to Toxic Drama and negative conversations. She has done exactly as described in the video to suck me back in but I won't do it and tell myself how Lucky I am to spend MY Time with C.J. Lewis instead!
I apologies for the typo with your name. Of Course I meant CS Lewis! God Bless You for your daily words-especially in CC since I am pretty hard of hearing.
I understand he played me like a fiddle I learnt I’ll move on. He will never find me. I’m changing my number . I’m heart broken .. I’ll rebuild
Amen! 🙏🏾😊
I've tried to walk away from a toxic family member, but either I would come back or she would and then I'm crushed all over again! Then I see this and know it's something I must do. I feel such guilt, though, but we truly need to let eachother go!! I sent her an email wishing her fairwell after giving her some direct truths but I do not like having to be that way! We both hurt eachother more each time. It needs to end once and for all! It was a year of no talking and it happened all over again! We are not good for each other, so please, dear GOD, allow us to forgive one another by releasing what is toxic! AMEN ❤🙏
Please pray for me, should my husband and I be together. We are both very unhappy.
Only the Lord can answer you. Pray and ask.
Don't give up on someone. Just understand that if they're meant to be in your life, they will be.
Okay❤
This is not what the message is saying please don’t mislead people 😢
@TT-zf1bn how is it misleading??
Perfect timing.🙌🏾
Thank you ❤
Very meaningful teaching
This is actually what I needed to hear. Thank you.
This resonants with my spirit!
Thank you so much.....
This came to me on divine timing❤
I absolutely agree. Thank you 🙏 ❤
