We will be Hated for Christ's Sake

If someone deletes or blocks us because of the gospel we will do as God said; "shake the dust from our feet.
I am not upset when God reveals the heart of a friend when they walk away because of Christ. Even when they gossip against me, I count it a blessing that those who gossip and those who listen and judge based on that gossip are revealed as ones I have no interest in being friends with, I let them go and don't look back.
Unless, they come to me at some later date and confess their sin of gossip and change their behavior, which I have never witnessed in my entire life.
I have actually had gossips come to visit me either by phone or a visit to my home merely to ask questions compelling information to twist and gossip to others.
I have had gossips come to my Facebook page to attack and then gossip, always distorting my answers and reactions. A gossip is a liar, revising what was said and done to make their target to be the bad one, even though they have no evidence we are what they wish we were.
If you are innocent of the wrongdoing you are accused of then feel free and blessed to remove those who wish to harm you, from your lives. They will keep gossiping out of frustration that they cannot control you or antagonize you. When they cannot control your emotions they will attempt to control how others view you. Anyone who listens to them is one of them and cannot be trusted.
Never give a narcissist gossiper any information and never give those who listen to the gossip any information. Do not answer questions, reveal information or inquire anything of them. They soon will get the message that you will not communicate with them and lose interest in trying to gather fodder for their gossipy friends.
Proverbs 13:20 "One who walks with wise people will be wise, But a companion of fools will suffer harm.'
Make your close companions those who love you, agree with your choice to walk with Christ, and depart from those who want to ruin you in the dust.
Matthew 10:14 "And whoever does not receive you nor listen to your words, as you leave that house or city, shake the dust off your feet."

When the Narcissists Gossip about You!

When narcissists gossip against you count it all joy that they are exposing who your friends are and who loves you or not. Those who believe the narcissist are themselves gossip mongers, not the kind of people we want anything to do with.
When we know the truth and Christ in us knows the truth we have nothing to fear. And, there will be justice in the end of this life. Also, God said it would be like this for those who love the Lord.
The devil wants to ruin our reputation and isolate us thinking being alone will break us down. The truth is that we have Christ living in us and no one can break us down to turn away from God.
Matthew 10:21-23 "…21Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death. 22 You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. 23When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. "
When we have been rejected by family and friends we are free to leave them permanently, unless they are a spouse, then we can learn to deal with the attitudes while still living for Christ.
Proverbs 29:27
"An unjust man is detestable to the righteous, and one whose way is upright is detestable to the wicked."
It is better to remove ourselves to be alone than to be surrounded by those who want our walk to be destroyed. Remember, we are never alone as long as we have Christ. We are not co-dependent with human beings, we are completely dependent on Christ.
Psalm 62:5-8
"5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone,
For my hope is from Him.
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
My refuge; I will not be shaken.
7 My salvation and my glory rest on God;
The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
8 Trust in Him at all times, you people;
Pour out your hearts before Him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah
Psalm 62:11-12 "11 God has spoken once;
Twice I have heard this:
That power belongs to God;
12 And faithfulness is Yours, Lord,
For You reward a person according to his work."
There is no better friend than Jesus Christ and He knows the truth about everything. Hallelujah!
