The Insecure Covert Narcissist

The covert narcissist is very insecure or they would not feel a need to act superior.

A confident person doesn't need to feel superior to others. I know narcissists who are family members who can only associate with those who elevate the narcissist as special. They can only associate with other people they think are special. Being a member of the popular clique is important to the narcissist.

We need to pray for these kinds of people and ourselves that we are not sucked into their trap. They have no desire to be godly only to appear godly. As long as they can pretend and fool people they are satisfied with the illusion.

The people who know what the narcissist is on the inside are those who are the targets of emotional abuse from the narcissist. Those who are the flying monkeys, that is those who believe the pretense will not believe the one who is the target of abuse.

Most people live on the plane of superficiality, they believe what they see shown to them but have no depth to be able to discern a spiritual problem.

When we can see with Spiritual eyes, that is the help of the Holy Spirit we can see things that most people cannot discern.

James 1:5-6 "5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6 But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.…'

Our churches are full of pretenders who want people to think they are godly and special but have no fruit of the Spirit proving what they wish others to believe about them.

Galatians 5:22-26 "22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things, there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking, and envying each other."

There are so many of these narcissists in the world now as we approach the end of the age that they are more common than authentically Spirit-led believers. In fact, it is so normal today that most people cannot perceive what is going on and are not likely to believe others who do have wisdom with insight.

Thankfully the Holy Spirit in every believer can expose and warn those who wish to stay to the truth. Narcissists don't care about the truth, they only care that they appear intelligent, even if it means changing God's Word to fit their desired belief that elevates them in the culture.

Sad but true, do not become one of them, stay loyal to Christ's Word and you will not be decided.
