Talking Back

The reason people have remained silent or soft peddled things is because we have been taught all our lives that we are not gracious if they talk back to mean spirited people.

The false Christianity has taught milk toast responses or no responses to such a degree that the false guilt the Christian would feel, prevents them from boldly speaking out.

I have been bold all my life and have incurred the wrath of Christian's who believe a woman should always be silent. I don't usurp my husband or cause trouble in the church, I merely speak my mind in the company of whomever. Narcissists hate boldness, they see it as an affront to them personally.




They Exclude You to Make You Jealous! Don't Bite

There are those who would exclude you from their group to make you jealous for them. These are the immature tactics of a child. When we encounter those who love their cliques, but also love that others are not welcome, we learn that we would not enjoy those people, those who love to hurt others merely to elevate themselves will never be a good friend to anyone.

Believers love one another, they include all those who belong to Christ, even extending love to those who do not know Him. There is never a thought to exclude a brother or sister, in fact, authentic believers hate to hurt anyone. They could never engage in the tactics of those who love to be elevated above others.

Galatians 4:16-17 "…16 Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth? 17 Those people are zealous for you, but not in a good way. Instead, they want to isolate you from us, so that you will be zealous for them. "

Its wonderful to be in the family of God, the love and kindness flows freely without restraint, but not to be elevated, but to bless others, the joy of blessing others with validation and encouragement is stronger than any personal desire.

God's Love

Jesus Christ loves you as you are, but loves you too much to leave you that way. Adrian Rogers

God wants to make us Holy, at salvation is only the beginning of His work in us.




By Faith Alone!

We know that one who has been born of the Spirit remains saved and is cleansed by God continually. NO one who is born again turns back, they are changed into a new creation as a butterfly emerges from the cocoon, it can never turn back into a worm again.

Hebrews 12:5-7 "…5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, or lose heart when He rebukes you. 6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises everyone He receives as a son.” 7 Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?"

Amazing how God gives us example in nature to show us His design. When God changes us we cannot be changed back by our own works any more than we worked to gain what He gave us by faith and through His grace.

Ephesians 1:13-14 "13 And in Him you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, having heard and believed the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. 14 The Spirit is the pledge of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession, to the praise of His glory.…"

You see, its God's work in us, His keeping of us and His returning for us. The only thing that was ours was our faith in Him.

Romans 10:17
"So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ."

Ephesians 2:7-8 "…7 in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.…"

Tactics of the Narcissist!

The poster is truth, it is absolutely typical of the narcissist. A person is caught off guard, feelings of false guilt rise up in the one who is attacked and the narcissist walks away feeling as though they have won over their target. Sadly any other people in the room or those who hear the gossip about the incident believe the target has been wrong or mean because the narcissist got mad. This is called "triangulation", before you know it the entire family believes the narcissist because they elevate the narcissist to such a level of perfection that it must be the target who was wrong. The narcissist will perpetuate the illusion by acting shy, innocent and humble in front of those they wish to impress, but all of that is fake. Someone who has discernment can see right through the phony demonstrations of humility and friendliness.
