No More Gaslighting: Reclaiming Your Confidence from the Enemy’s Lies

Have you ever doubted your memory, your worth, or even your sanity after a conversation? You may have experienced gaslighting—a subtle but devastating form of manipulation. In Chapter 6 of Daniel B. Lancaster’s Satan: The Liar, Narcissist, and Troubling Christian Relationships, we discover that gaslighting is not only a relational issue but a spiritual attack designed to steal your confidence and twist God’s truth.

What Is Gaslighting?

Gaslighting is when someone intentionally makes you question your reality, memories, or feelings.

It sounds like:

• “That never happened.”

• “You’re too sensitive.”

• “You always get things wrong.”

These phrases chip away at your self-trust, leaving you confused, isolated, and full of self-doubt. The enemy uses gaslighting to keep believers silent, powerless, and stuck in cycles of shame.

How Gaslighting Mirrors the Enemy’s Work

Satan is called the “father of lies” for a reason. He whispers distortions of the truth, hoping we’ll believe them and stop trusting our God-given discernment. In the Garden of Eden, he twisted God’s words to make Eve question herself. Today, he still uses this tactic—especially through unhealthy relationships.

When we’re gaslighted, it’s easy to feel alone or even question our faith. But God never confuses or manipulates—He speaks clarity, peace, and hope.

Steps to Reclaim Your Confidence

1. Name the Behavior: Recognize when you’re being gaslighted. If you constantly doubt your own experiences around someone, it’s a red flag.

2. Stand on Truth: Counter every lie with God’s Word. Write down Scriptures that affirm your value and identity (Psalm 139:14, Romans 8:1, John 8:32).

3. Seek Safe Community: Connect with trusted friends, a pastor, or a counselor who can help you process what’s real and what’s manipulation.

4. Practice Self-Compassion: Gaslighting is not your fault. Remind yourself that God loves you deeply and calls you His own.

5. Set Boundaries: You have permission to distance yourself from those who repeatedly confuse or belittle you. Healthy boundaries honor God and protect your heart.

Conclusion: You Are Not Alone

Gaslighting is a powerful tool of the enemy, but God’s truth is even stronger. If you’ve been made to doubt yourself, know that Jesus offers you clarity, healing, and a renewed sense of confidence.

You are beloved, seen, and valued—no matter what the enemy or others say.
