For those who think they can influence the narcissist! All we do is manipulate them with guilt for a time.
The tactics that might work on the narcissist short term is nothing more than manipulation, it does not change their heart.
It is the heart that determines how people act. You can get people to act certain ways with manipulation but it won't last because its not based on a heart change.
As soon as we would stop manipulating they would stop acting nicely. The heart can only be changed by Christ, if they become born again they will think differently causing them to act differently.
Matthew 7:21-23 "21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’"
Matthew 6:21 "21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Proverbs 3:5-7
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil."
Proverbs 4:23
"Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life."
