The Goal of the Narcissist is Always to be Special and Above Others Even God

When a narcissist asks you how you are doing they are not asking because they care about you. They are asking to have information to be able to judge or pass misinformation to others to destroy your peace.

Sadly this is happening all too often these days. Since there is a growing number of narcissists in the world today because we are living in the final days before God's wrath, we will see this phenomenon of selfish pride increasing exponentially.

2 Timothy 3:1-5

3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.

2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,

4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these."

Notice these are people who "have a form of religion" Its in the churches today on steroids. The pretenders are teaching people "do not judge", this keeps people from correcting one another as well as causing anger in those who do not want to be corrected.

2 Timothy 4:3 "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts."

When we care deeply about the principles of Christ and obey His word to correct one another, we will be met with much resistance.

A born again believer who loves Christ does not hide, they do not pretend and they receive correction with gladness. If we have studied the word of God and know the truth about a matter we have no reason to become angry, we can share, if the one who corrects us will listen, that we already know the answer because God has shown it to us. We can provide our scripture and have no need to be angry.

Those who are angry at our staunchness for the word of God will call us angry. The narcissist always places on their target the very thing the narcissist is displaying and the corrector is not.

Because the narcissist despises being corrected they are more interested in proving us wrong than they are in God's Word. Pride, the very sin that got the devil thrown out of heaven looms large in the hearts of many in the church.

When the narcissist cannot change our mind because we have studied and resolved a matter with God, they will begin the character assassination. They will leave the subject at hand while moving onto accusations about our character even when they don't know anything about our lives.

I have met many people who have encountered these frustrating discussions with narcissists. They do not discuss to learn our view or God's principles, they discuss to win and when they cannot win over you they will demolish your reputation with others.

We saw this happen with Christ and all the apostles. Christ was accused by Pharisees that He did His miracles by the power of the devil. It was the devil influencing their thinking and using their mouths, we can expect the same to happen to us.

Revelation 12:9-11 "…9 And the great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ. For the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down— he who accuses them day and night before our God. 11 They have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. And they did not love their lives so as to shy away from death.…"

I actually had a woman accuse me of not giving scripture to support my points when I had given her lengthy and many scriptures She accused me of what she was doing, she had not given me much scripture that supported her view, in fact, the little scripture that she had was snatched out of context and had little to nothing to do with the discussion.

When I explained that remarriage was called adultery by Christ, the answer that came back was that "we should love people." What she refused to admit was that correction from God's Word was love. We cannot love someone and allow them to remain in sin without challenging it. She was falsely accusing me of not being loving because I called a sin what it was, sin against God.

Hebrews 3:13 "13But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness."

Luke 17:3 " 3 Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him."

Let it be known that narcissists do not discuss anything, they argue to win. When we discover this is what is happening it is time to exit the conversation. We cannot help someone learn the ways of God when they refuse to pray and take a good look at scripture.

Pretenders and superficial Christians often quote mantras that are not Biblical as well as using partial scripture out of context to justify sin.

God encouraged me many times with people like this, He told me to speak the truth, do not respond to the accusations, and move on when the discussion is going nowhere good. When anger is emerging with accusations of character rather than proof of scripture, it is the big clue that you cannot reach this person with the truth. Then He said clearly, pray for them but avoid being a companion, this angst and domination is a part of their character. They need to be changed by Christ into a new creation so that when this happens they will love God's word and His commands. His principles for living become second nature to those who love Him.

John 14:15 "15If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. "

If the scriptures given here are not enough scripture for someone then they can go back to the passages and read the entire chapters as well as relating passages in the Bible to discover the truth. Also, keep in mind that we must place all passages and all chapters in the context of the entire Bible to understand God's commands and His Heart.

When We Love God We Obey Him

When we love our master we obey Him, not out of guilt or gain, but out of love!

2 Corinthians 9: 6-8 "…6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each one should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not out of regret or compulsion. God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.…"

This principle of giving our money, our time, and our devotion to Christ really pertain to everything we do, not just our giving of money.

When we love God so much that everything we do is measured by whether or not it pleases God we will be blessed. However, the blessing is greater than material possessions, in fact, most of the time it's the Spiritual blessing of wisdom and the lack of guilt that blesses us the most.

There is nothing more wonderful than walking in joy even in the hardest of times. We are able to do this when we make Christ our first priority over everything and everyone.

In these last days, we will lose a lot, mostly friends and family who don't want to walk with God as we do. They will reject and spurn us because we are too fanatical and embarrassing with all our "God talk" and our resistance in doing the rituals and the observances that everyone else is doing. Christians will even be rejected by their Christian family members for their fervency for the Lord.

Matthew 23:26-28 "…26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, so that the outside may become clean as well.

27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.…"

James 1:2-12 "2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,

3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

6 But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.

7 For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,

8 being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

9 But the brother of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position;

10 and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away.

11 For the sun rises with a scorching wind and withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so too the rich man in the midst of his pursuits will fade away.

12 Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. "

Romans 5:3-5 "…3 Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.…"

Where are the Lovers of Christ?

Someone help me understand this!

How is it possible for a born again believer to have a Facebook page, be active on it, and never speak one word about Christ?

These are the last days there isn't must time left to spread the gospel or encourage the saints. God has given this amazing opportunity to speak of Him to the entire world from our living rooms and yet so many believers never speak of Him.

This is a big red flag for me.

I do understand that some are not called to use Facebook, they are just not led as I am not led but do other things. However, if someone does have a Facebook page and never speaks about Christ this is evidence that they write about what they love or even worse they are ashamed of Christ.

2 Corinthians 13:4-6 "…4 For He was indeed crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God’s power. And though we are weak in Him, yet by God’s power we will live with Him to serve you. 5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Can’t you see for yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you— unless you actually fail the test? 6 And I hope you will realize that we have not failed the test.…"

Those who do not speak of the Lord on Facebook, often put up political banter being conservatives. How could anyone who loves the Lord be more involved in thinking about politics than they do about the Lord Jesus Christ Who died for them?

Mark 12:30-31 "30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”…"

Doesn't it make sense that we would talk about that which we love more than anything else?

Because there are so many pretenders in the church we see these pew warmers ignoring conversation about Christ while spending much time on the things of this world.

We speak about that which we love, that's how it works.

Malachi 3:16-17 "16 At that time those who feared the LORD spoke with one another, and the LORD listened and heard them. So a scroll of remembrance was written before Him regarding those who feared the LORD and honored His name.17“ They will be Mine,” says the LORD of Hosts, “on the day when I prepare My treasured possession. And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.…"

Anyone who calls themselves Christian and would be angry at this post is proving what I am saying. Born again believers do not become angry at a correction or chastisement, they pray about it to see if it is true and then make adjustments in their lives.

Anger at truth is a sure sign there is an angry spirit of rebellion within those who respond in angst.

Hebrews 4:12

"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."

2 Timothy 4:7

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

Fighting the good fight of faith and finishing the race having obeyed God is not for "preachers" only, it is for every born again believer, every single one ought to be doing something in obedience to the Lord in these last days.

I remember a few gatherings I have been involved with over the years that had coffee time before the service. In these gatherings, all that was spoken of was the ball games or politics. Almost nothing was said having to do with Jesus Christ.

The ritual of attending a gathering, singing some songs, and listening to a short sermon seems a lot to me like the Catholic churches I attended before I was born again.

The people went to "fulfill their obligation" but never spoke of the Lord outside that mass. The same things happen in the evangelical churches. They have the songs, the prayer for problems in the group, and a short sermon. But sadly there was no talk of Christ outside the rituals and the sermon.

Finally; What we love we speak about often!

Just saying!

Dating and Marriage: Let God Choose

I have met people who dated unbelievers which is wrong.

The unbeliever decided to become a Christian to marry their Christian love. After the marriage, the unsaved spouse went right back into their old life because they only "converted" to be accepted by the family of the Christian fiance.

It is highly suspect when someone becomes a Christian merely to marry someone.

I did this when I was young, I became Catholic to marry a Catholic. Neither of us was saved but the story is similar. I became Catholic to fit in with my husband and his family. A few years later I became born again and left the Catholic church. This happens to people who become Christian to marry a Christian, they are not dedicated because they are doing it for impressing someone rather than the conviction of sin by Christ.

Many young women become astonished when their spouse who became a Christian to marry them watch their marriage fall apart. The husband does not lead, he loves worldly things and does not speak about the Lord. Even worse he even acts angry when his Christian wife wants him to read the Bible with her.

Remember that an unsaved spouse will lead your children away from Christ no matter what they say or how many times they attend church. Our churches are full of the children of people who were superficial in their walk at home with family.

When the saved spouse wishes to train their children in the Lord by the standards of the Bible, God's word, the unsaved spouse will fight it. That spouse will negate the teachings of the other parent in front of the children, perhaps if only by remaining silent when they should have supported the parent who wanted Christ in the lives of their children.

Unsaved people and pretenders, those that profess Christianity but are not saved, will influence the children against Christ.

For a believer to marry an unsaved person or a pretender, is to disobey God. Those who love the Lord will seek God in prayer while testing any potential spouse to see if they are truly saved. God will warn anyone who wants to know.

If the physical attraction is the only reason to like someone then you will miss all the blatant clues that someone is not walking with God.

Young people, if you think you might like someone seek God first. Test the spirit in the person as to whether or not they love the Word or just like you. It's flattering for someone to like us, but it is also disarming, causing us to refrain from evaluating them or testing them to see if they are genuinely in the faith.

Proverbs 29:5

"A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet."

Proverbs 26:24-28

"Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart; though his hatred is covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling. A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin."

Lastly, be willing to wait on God to bring someone to you, stay in prayer, and be willing to wait, wait, and wait. I am here to tell you it is better to wait for a spouse than to be stuck in a terrible marriage with a person who does not love God. Because friends, if they don't love God they will not love you God's way.

Why Does the World Ignore the Lord's Supper

So much if not most of what we have in our culture comes from paganism because the world as a whole does not acknowledge God. Even people who say they are Christians who are not pagans use the terms and festivals of the pagans without bothering to find out where the rituals and sayings come from. Because they enjoy the hoopla of the rituals they justify them by pretending to at Christ's name to them. This is the same thing that happened in the days of Amos. God hated that they claimed the festivals were about Him but really they were about the enjoyment of the people for the fun they enjoyed at that time, God had nothing to do with it. He didn't command it and was no part of it.

Amos 5:21-23

21 “I hate, I reject your festivals,

Nor do I [a]delight in your solemn assemblies.

22 “Even though you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings,

I will not accept them;

And I will not even look at the peace offerings of your fatlings.

23 “Take away from Me the noise of your songs;

I will not even listen to the sound of your harps."

Matthew 15:7-9 "…7You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you: 8‘These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. 9They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’ ”…"

Why else do you think the pagans, the unsaved and the rebellious people love these holidays so much because they are not of God but make them feel good.

Notice something else? The unsaved world does not celebrate the Lord's supper, the one Christ commanded. Why? Because there has been no worldly pleasures associated with the celebration of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. The world only wants their fun and their pleasure they have no use for Christ.

The Believers Mission!

I get that Christians are being frustrated about all the irrational mess that is occurring every day now, I really do. However, we were told in 2 Timothy 3 that "perilous times would come", that means in the original language "ragingly insane" times in which nothing would make good sense. And, in my humble opinion it means that everything would be orchestrated by devils, in other words, it would be a culture dominated by demons propagating lies opposite of God's principles and commands.

People will say and do things, even so-called "Christians" that are directly opposite of what God commanded in His word, calling this disobedience good as though God would be pleased with the rationalizations for rebellion. I have encountered many Christians who fight and argue to defend their sin. They make excuses based on circumstance or their own sinful desires. Feelings take priority over God's truth with most people in the church today.

Often we will be chastised for bringing scripture to the discussion among "Christians" as though we did something wrong in doing so. Most "Christians," today think the Bible is a book of suggestions that can be ignored and that anyone who actually says we should obey His commands is a legalist and a wacko, someone strange to be avoided.

Let me be clear, it is not legalism to want to obey God. Legalism is making rules and standards that God never commanded. It is not legalism to preach obedience to God's rules and standards.

What are the tactics of demons? Everything opposite of what God would want, absolutely on purpose. We cannot expect anything to be resolved or improve, it will only become worse as the world marches headlong into the tribulation very soon. Should we attempt to stop prophecy?

Our marching orders are to bring the gospel to the unsaved and encourage the believers that their home-going is soon. We need to keep on keeping on with great expectancy that God is going to exact justice very soon.

Fighting with the world over their insanity is an exercise in futility. It's like trying to make a cat understand that yarn is not to be played with, the cat can do nothing else, it is hard-wired to bat at yarn. Anyone who has cats understands there is no teaching a cat not to take swipes at yarn or that they should not catch mice. Unbelievers cannot understand God's ways, they must become born again to understand.

1 Corinthians 2:13-15 "…13 And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. 14 The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment."

Arguing with an unbeliever about public policy is insanity, it brings only arguments and fighting. They do not understand God's ways.

1 Corinthians 2:14-15 "14 The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment.…"

Rather than trying to argue the principles of God with the unsaved, we ought to be sharing the gospel with them. Only if they become born again because the Holy Spirit is working on them will they be able to know the principles of God.

1 Thessalonians 4:17-18 "…17 After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words."

There will be a cleansing of the earth and a judgment and we will get to see it. We have no need for revenge or forcing others to do as we think is right, we only have to trust in Christ, He is the One Who will make things right.

When we come back with Him after the marriage supper of the Lamb to destroy evil, He will do all the fighting with the Word of His mouth, we will be with Him.

2 Thessalonians: Read it to find the entire story.

I have no interest in attempting to stop what God has ordained. It is prophesied, however, I do want to warn others of what is coming if they do not believe in Christ. Perhaps someone will repent and become born again, avoiding the wrath of God that is coming on the entire earth.

I have never seen as many warnings on the internet as I am seeing now, it is God-directed to be the last step in warning before the church is removed, and literally, all hell is loosed upon the earth.

Warnings, the gospel to unbelievers, and encouraging the believers, is our mission until Christ takes us out of here.

DID YOU KNOW ALL THIS IS HAPPENING?
