Narcissists are Mockers

Narcissists enjoy arguments, their goal is to win over others to demonstrate their superiority. Their superiority is only in their own mind.

Proverbs 29:8-10 "…8 Mockers inflame a city, but the wise turn away anger. 9 If a wise man goes to court with a fool, there will be raving and laughing with no resolution. 10 Men of bloodshed hate a blameless man, but the upright care for his life.…"

Proverbs 13:20

"Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm."

Those who think they must remain friends with narcissists to be better Christians are not understanding that we must protect our own hearts from the influence of narcissists.

If we spend a lot of time with a narcissist we are in danger of becoming like them because of their attempts to cause anger in us through continual poking and prodding.

We don't want to be spending time with the devil, so why would we want to spend time with those who are controlled by the devil?

James 4:7 "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

2 Corinthians 6:16-18 "…16 What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.” 17 “Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” 18 And: “I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”…"

Since we know we cannot reason with the devil we also know we cannot reason with someone controlled by the devil.

We must surround ourselves with those who love Christ as we love Christ. They will help us to remain faithful when we are tempted to respond to something in a fleshly way. Openness and honesty is the way of the born-again believer, deceit and secrets are the way of the narcissist.

It isn't easy to find those who authentically love Christ in these last days of the end times. However, there is a remnant and God will reveal them to us as needed. I thank God for Facebook where we can connect with other believers who love Christ and are filled with Him. Hallelujah!!!!
