Narcissists do what they do because they are demoniacally controlled. Devils make them think their dastardly deeds are justified. He fools them into thinking their victims are the bad ones all the while being mean and hateful to those they want to believe bad things about. If they cannot find evidence against those they hate they will make something up.
1 Peter 5:8-9 "8 Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.…"
1 John 3:8
"8 the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil [a]has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil."
James 4:7
"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
Only those who have Christ have defense against the devil. The greatest defense against him is Christ Who lives in those who have trusted in Him.
We are living in the days of "raging insanity" in which bad is called good and good is called bad. Very little makes good sense anymore. One of the reason I don't use the phrase, "common sense" is because the common senses these days is foolishness.
1 Corinthians 3:18-20 "18 Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become a fool, so that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.” 20 And again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.”…"
The good news: Proverbs 21:30
"No wisdom, no understanding, and no counsel can prevail against the LORD."
1 Corinthians 1:20
"Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?"
1 Corinthians 4:6
"Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written. Then you will not take pride in one man over another."
Many people in the church today are not born again. the evidence of this is the continual adding to the words of the Bible using psychology and worldly ideas to justify sin.
Many people are adding to the scriptures, taking away from them as well as plucking passages out of context to make them say what God never said.
We are living in the days of apostasy as God said would happen.
1 Timothy 4:1
"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that, in the latter times, some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of demons."
The job of believers in these times of apostasy can be seen in the Bible:
Jude 20 — 25 "But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your
most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep
yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy
of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of
some have compassion, making a difference; and
others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire,
hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Now
unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and
to present you faultless before the presence of his glory
with exceeding joy, to the only wise God, our Savior,
be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both
now and ever. Amen."
