Narcissists Will Ruin Your Walk

If you want to find out who is a narcissist and who is not, there is a simple test, just challenge them about something and watch what comes out.

A narcissist will become angry and disrespectful. They will fight to win, whether, what they say makes sense or not, and finally they will begin the personal assaults on our character and intent.

I have been called "mean spirited", "a witch", "unsaved", "an heretic" and other disparaging names in attempts to embarrass or silence me.

If you are trying to bring good sense to any situation, the narc only wants to be seen as right, all that matters for them is winning.

In their mind the narc wins by causing their target to lose control or apologize to them, often for things that needed no apology. It is common for the narcissists to accuse us of things we are not doing but they are doing, a tactic of the devil since the beginning.

If the narc can get others to come along side in their contempt for us, they also count themselves as having won. Good sense arguments are of no use with the narcissist. Their desire is to appear superior, not to find truth.

Never let a narcissist control your emotions or dictate what you say through their manipulation. Manipulation and intimidation is their favorite tactic in unnerving those who will not elevate them or capitulate to their tactics.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 tells us all about these people, they care nothing about truth, they have no love and they love to control anyone in their path.

"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 [b]godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these."

 Notice God says to avoid these people. We have to engage them long enough to find out what they are, but then once we know we can remove them from our lives, they will cause nothing but trouble, distracting us from the things of the Lord, even fighting bitterly to ruin our walk with Him.
