I am now convinced that narcissists are hyper sensitive to correction and instruction because they are fragile from the constant struggle to be the god in their own life.
When someone comes along recognizing that they are not gods, that they have flaws like all of us, they become enraged and threatened.
In order to maintain their godlike view of their own importance, they must have only those around them who continually elevate them.
They are broken, but refuse to admit their need for Christ and those who are Christians have not submitted to Him or they would be ashamed of their own self worship.
If we have family members like this we must keep our distance while praying for them. Those who walk disobediently on a regular basis in a big way, will only dilute our walk with Christ, they will not be helped by anything we say and do and they will be a hindrance to our spiritual growth.
Our love for Christ must be greater than our love for others and our love for others must be based on God's principles. It is only through obedience to Him that brings about change in anyone's heart.
Many people are experiencing this matter of disrespectful and disobedient family members who have chosen self worship over Christ.
My answer to this is, keep obeying God no matter what anyone else is doing or what they do to you. Escape them if you can, but learn the ways to handle them in a Christlike manner if you cant avoid them.
Seeking God through prayer and Scripture study is our only hope, at least that we become what He wants us to be, while leaving the narcissist to God.
