Normal Anger Verses Narcissistic Rage

Normal anger is based on an event and dissipates with conversation as things are cleared up.

Narcissistic anger is rage that emerges because of an angry spirit that resides inside, a dumping of what has been in there all the time. They do not feel better when they have gotten out their rage, they become even more anger the more they rage.

Normal anger is based on an event, but the narcissist anger is irrationally out of control compared to the infraction, and often there hasn't even been an infraction, merely a disagreement.

The narcissist can never state clearly what it was that provoked them, often nothing provokes them, they are always looking for a reason to dump on someone. It is clear that there is no reasoning with this sort of angry person, they will not allow discussion, shutting down with more rage any attempt to clear things up or hear another side.

Narcissists believe that the person they rage at are a "bad person", rather than focusing on the particular event that upset them, they assign evil to the character of the person at which they are raging.

I am convinced this phenomena is diabolical, meaning it is orchestrated by the devil, twisting the thoughts of those who are defenseless against him.

1 Peter 5:8-9 " 8 Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.…"

In my humble opinion based on many years of dealings with narcissists, I have come to the conclusion that narcissism on any level is the influence of the devil in the minds of those who are not led by the Holy Spirit of God.

When we know what we are dealing with, and it will be more frequently in these end times, we do not have to be drawn into a fight, nor do we have to answer foolishness, we can calmly walk away and pray for the one who is held captive by the devil.
