Narcissists are Convicted by the Holy Spirit

When the narcissist is convicted by the Holy Spirit in you, do not chase after them when they bolt. Let them go, they hate the Holy Spirit conviction that emanates off of born again believers. They are not running from the believer, even though they think they are, they are running from the Holy Spirit that dwells in us.

Stand strong, speak truth and allow the narcissists to leave when they run.

Ephesians 4:31-32 “Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”

Narcissists generate bitterness, wrath and anger, the very things God tells us to put away from us. When we see that these are the elements the narcissists are attempting to create in us, we must remove ourselves to avoid the temptation to act the way the narcissist acts.

1 Corinthians 15:33 "33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.”

We don't see Christ or the apostles running after those who have rejected Christ. They allow the consequences of life to teach the runner and the Holy Spirit to reach them in His good time.

Tolerating evil by remaining with the evil person only serves to validate the evil.

Isaiah 26:10 "10 But when grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness; even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil and do not regard the majesty of the LORD."

In our modern flimsy idea of grace we have managed to become so soft on sin that the one who acts badly expects forgiveness without any sense they need to repent. Our culture has been enablers merely to feel good about ourselves. This superficial forgiveness does not generate sorrow in the sinful heart, it only encourages more sin.

How Does The Narcissist Make You Feel? (Besides Crazy)

My entire narcissistic family basically taught one another how to treat me as though I was completely stupid. I was analytical enough to think that something was off with them even though I felt bad that they didn't like me. I thought about things to discern what it was about me that was worthy of contempt. The fact that they treated me the same all the time no matter what I was doing made me realize that it couldn't be about me because even when I did nice things they mocked and demeaned it as though I did something wrong. Even when I was polite they acted embarrassed that I was foolish for being polite. I realized later that it was my empathetic kind way that upset them. When I finally realized this after many years of enduring the bad feelings I was able to see truth and no longer feel bad when they are rude. In fact they now avoid me because there is no sense in me that I have bought into their manipulation. They can no longer control my emotions so they aren't having fun anymore. LOL

I know there are many people who have encountered this! Sadly some who encounter this buy into the lies of the narcissist and actually become the person the narc says they are, even without realizing it. There are those who need to get stronger and not allow the narcissist to manipulate feelings and responses. I suggest that the goal of the narcissist is to goad their victims into becoming just like them, then they can scapegoat them. Scapegoating meaning the narcissist can point to their victim and accuse them of what the narc is doing because the narc poked at them until they responded badly.

Never allow the narcissist to control your feelings or your reactions!!! The best course is to avoid them entirely when possible, if not possible then to ignore them whenever they are acting the fool.
