Narcissists will suggest things that will be harmful to you while pretending it will be good for you, they are controlled by devils. Satan wants us to do sinful things thinking they are good for us.
2 Corinthians 11:14
"And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light."
Just as Christ turned to Peter and said; "get thee behind me Satan" while looking at Peter but speaking to Satan we ought to see the devil working in those who are narcissists.
Matthew 16:22-24 "…22 Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. “Far be it from You, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to You!” 23 But Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me. For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.” 24 Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.…"
In other words, it was Satan who was influencing the thoughts and words of Peter and is also influencing the thoughts and words of the narcissists around us.
When we realize a narcissist is back at their old tricks again, we must be discerning. We must not allow those controlled by the devil to goad us into sinful responses. The wisest thing to do is to remove ourselves from them if it is possible.
Narcissists are fools who attempt to control us through manipulation and false accusations. Just as Peter rebuked Christ, correcting God, so too the narcissists attempt to make our good decisions look bad or evil.
Proverbs 18:2
A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.
Proverbs 1:7
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction."
Here is what we are in for when we attempt to discuss anything with a fool. Those narcissists in my life never at any time wanted to discuss something to discover the root of a problem, they only wanted to fight to win. They cannot discuss calmly and rationally a problem without attempting to demolish you as a person. God tells us to get away from such people.
Proverbs 29:9
If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.
2 Timothy 3:1-5
"3 This know also, that in the last days perilous (ragingly insane) times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
