The World is Full of Narcissists in These End Times

"Since the need to be superior to others takes center stage in the narcissistic mind, they must change the details of situations to fit with their personal prejudice against their target." Gwendolyn Wehage; "Narcissism: Second Timothy Three is Here" Page 124

Have you wondered why the chaos in the world is escalating? Have you wondered why so many adult children are treating their parents disrespectfully and with contempt?

There is an answer; we are living in the end times of apostasy. Even many adult children who attend churches every week are wicked toward their parents.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 "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."

As we live through these end times of horrendous disrespect and contempt we must remember that it is what God said would happen. Once you have gotten over the shock of how you are being treated as aging parents, you will see that it is not something isolated only to us. Many are experiencing this deep rebellion against God on the part of their children.

Even those raised in very good homes are being influenced by devils to see things in ways that are not the truth. They reject the Bible, they reject instruction from it while claiming to be a "Bible believer." What the narcissists want to believe about themselves and what they really are on the inside, is deeply disconnected from reality.

2 Timothy 4:2-4 "…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears, they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.…"

The adult children today refuse to received instruction, correction, or rebuke from anyone. Their desire to be special and superior removes all sense that they need to learn to grow in holiness.

We are commanded by God to continue to speak His words and instruct, but it will not be received. This does not mean we completely stop doing it. Never allow a narcissist, especially one who claims to be a Christian to intimidate you into silence. You may not correct the rebellious ones anymore but you cannot cause them to keep you from speaking to others. This is the devil's goal to cause such fear of speaking that we would remain silent with those who have not rejected the truth.

Jeremiah 7:26-28 "…26 Yet they would not listen to Me or incline their ear, but they stiffened their necks and did more evil than their fathers. 27 When you tell them all these things, they will not listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer. 28 Therefore you must say to them, ‘This is the nation that would not listen to the voice of the LORD their God and would not receive correction. Truth has perished; it has disappeared from their lips."

The key to all of this is to hear from the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit is moving in you to speak something do not reason what the response might be, it is irrelevant. Just obey God and leave the response to God.

Romans 1:18-32
God's Wrath on Unrighteousness
"18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
19 For what can be known about God is plain to them because God has shown it to them.
20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen."

Romans 1:29-32 "29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips,
30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,
31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them."
