The Devil's Accusations

When the narcissist is in the middle of accusing you of things you know you are not doing you can be sure they are telling you what they are doing!!!

The devil is the father of lies and controls the hearts, thoughts, and actions of the narcissist. What narcissists do and say are the actions and words of the devil.

The devil goes before the throne of God every day accusing the brethren of things, mostly past forgiven sins. The devil is the perpetrator of all the sins and instigator, and yet he accuses others. He is not smart enough to realize God is not holding those sins against the brethren.

Revelation 12:10 "Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down, the one who accuses them before our God day and night."

Untrue accusations are always designed to silence those who are truth tellers, as well as confuse us. Those who love the Lord hate if they have done or said something wrong so they agonize over it asking: "What did I do wrong" when the narcissist rages against them.

We live in a culture that blames the truth-teller when the narcissist rages, rather than seeing the narcissist for what they are they align themselves with him/her.

Have you ever been in a room full of people interacting with one another and you happen to disagree with something or attempt to make something more clear with a better explanation and the narcissist irrationally blows up in anger? Then when the others see that narcissist rage they act as though they believe you caused the rage.

Many people are not aware of the tricks of the narcissist, they do not understand that the target didn't cause the anger in the narcissist. The narcissist chose to rage to gain control over the room and cause the target to appear guilty of something to the others who are watching.

I have seen this problem of narcissism increase exponentially in the past 20 years. Many years ago everyone would have been able to see the foolishness of the controlling mean-spirited people, but now it has become so normal that most people have lost their perspective and believes the lies of the devil that come from the mouths of those who are controlled by him.

Don't allow the stench of the narcissist to get on you, remain silent and walk away. There is nothing more satisfying to the narcissist than when they can get their victim upset and defensive. Especially if it makes the target look bad to those observing.

The worst thing a victim of narcissism can do is argue back as though they can change the mind of a wicked person. We become like them when we argue with them.

Proverbs 22:24-25

"Make no friendship with an angry man; And with a furious man thou shalt not go: Lest thou learn his ways, And get a snare to thy soul."

Proverbs 26:4-5 "Do not answer a fool [a]according to his foolishness,

Or you will also be like him.

5 Answer a fool as his foolishness deserves,

So that he will not be wise in his own eyes."

The narcissist deserves to be ignored.

1 Corinthians 14:38

"38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant (ignored.)"

Proverbs 26:6-8 "One who sends a message by the hand of a fool

Chops off his own feet and drinks violence.

7 Like useless legs to one who cannot walk,

So is a proverb in the mouths of fools.

8 Like one who binds a stone in a sling,

So is one who gives honor to a fool."

Proverbs 7:6 "“Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces."

Satan's desire is to ruin the witness of the born-again believer so that fewer people will believe them when they speak the truth of the gospel.

Narcissists ruled by the devil have only one goal and that is to elevate themselves and discredit anyone who loves God.

In these last days of selfishness everywhere all the time we can be different as we saturate ourselves in the Word of God and prayer, asking God to continually teach and train us.

Psalm 51:10-19

"10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me." Hallelujah!

Authentic Support Brings Spiritual Growth

I love to support my friends who love the Lord and enjoy obeying Christ.

I love to support my friends who say they love the Lord but walk disobediently by correcting them.

It is not Christian support merely because we choose to agree to make someone feel good about themselves.

True support is always telling the truth so that those who walk disobediently will learn to walk upright. And, true support is encouraging those who bring the right doctrine.

2 Timothy 2:15 "15 Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth. 16 But avoid irreverent, empty chatter, which will only lead to more ungodliness,…"

Things will not get Better, But there is still hope!

Warning!!! Beware!!!

Amen, I have seen this for myself in may ways. What I praise God about is watching Him protect and work out what is needed for His children. We can learn the things to say and the ways to be that keep us steady, hopeful, and full of joy!!! Hallelujah!

Where Two or Three are Gathered

Many people are dropping out of the organized church because they are beginning to realize what a sham it is with the pews full of pretenders who reject God's truth.

Preachers in the churches are feeding the people pablum instead of meat. "Pablum" was a tasteless baby food that adults couldn't stand.

Superficial people love baby food but sadly they remain babies if they do not grow a desire to please God.

1 Corinthians 3:1-3 "1 Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual, but as worldly—as infants in Christ. 2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for solid food. In fact, you are still not ready, 3 for you are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and dissension among you, are you not worldly? Are you not walking in the way of man?…"

The world has taken over the church gatherings pushing out anyone who desires to love God deeply.

Don't be pressured into attending a church gathering just to be somewhere. Lean on Jesus Christ and He will be where two to three are gathered.

We need no building, we need no more than two or three, that's enough to please God if those gatherings love God more than their own lives.

Narcissists Cannot be Honest or Healthy

Narcissists cannot be healthy people because they are so predisposed to phoniness and lies that they cannot improve.

The only way for us to change is to be able to admit our flaws and desire to change.

Those who have no desire to change, and even believe they are special are not likely to take kindly to criticism or introspection.

The most important ingredient in friend relationships is honesty. When there is deception and self exaltation there cannot be honesty.

An honest person is that way on the inside and the outside. There is no place for dishonesty on any level in one who self-reflects to improve.

Since narcissists live continually in a false self in front of others they wish to impress, there can be no honesty on the inside. After all, we can only be false on the outside unless we are already false on the inside.

Narcissists do not live authentically. If we were to challenge a narcissist to be more honest they would claim they already are when they rudely tell the truth about others, even though they never tell the truth about themselves. And, their truth about others is always heavily peppered with jealousy and demeaning, almost always skewed to make themselves look like the victim.

A quote from Dr. Carter

"Narcissism is identified by selfishness, the need for control, a feeling of superiority, a lack of empathy, and manipulative behaviors. So, as you attempt to understand it fully, you may wonder if it means that person is given over to evil intentions. "

Since selfishness is condemned in the Bible, controlling others is frowned upon, superiority is pride which God also condemns, and lack of empathy is a close cousin to selfishness, then we see that all the elements of narcissism are evil and directly defy Christ.

Narcissists have floating beneath the surface a sort of simmering anger waiting to emerge at the slightest perceived offense. Since they are looking for an offense to be able to unleash their pent-up anger they will choose perfectly innocent comments or actions and pretend there is something wrong with them.

I'll never forget many years ago I was driving down the road in my car and smoke began to pour out of the hood. Very concerned I pulled over into the left turning lane to get out of traffic, and got out of my car to stand behind it while I called for someone to come and help me. I wasn't in anyone's way, I was a woman alone with smoke coming out of her car.

Within a couple of minutes, several cars passed me on the right in their lane. In two instances people yelled out their windows as they passed and swore obscenities at me as though I was doing something wrong, I wasn't in anyone's way, I wasn't stopping traffic and I had not solicited help from them. I simply stood in the back of my car while waiting for help to come.

A couple was standing across the street who witnessed this and came running across the street to help me push the car across the traffic when the light turned red. We managed to push the car off the road to safety. Then the couple turned to me and said; "we couldn't believe what those people were doing to you." Then I said; "you aren't from around here are you?" They were not from here, they were passing through to somewhere else. I thanked them profusely for their kindness and was thankful for the encouragement that they noticed how the people were treating me.

Imagine a woman in distress while smoke is pouring out of her car hood and the men driving by were pretending I had done something wrong, shouting at me and showing me their IQ on one hand. This was when we had first moved to our town 20 years ago, I asked myself, where have we come to live, is this just a mile past hell.

When we lived in South Carolina I had a flat tire twice. Each time I was not standing on the road for more than five minutes getting ready to get out the jack to attempt to change my tire when several men would come rushing over to change it for me. I was astounded by this kindness and grateful that there was still a place left on earth where men protected the women and the women let them.

I have met friendly people in our region but they are few and they are old. Our children's generation has lost the unselfish kindness that used to be the fabric of our country. And, sadly they have passed their angst and vulgarity and bad manners on to our grandchildren's generation. All that is left is synical barbarism, and oversensitive boorishness.

Pride is the biggest element that dominates our culture today, the very same pride that caused the devil and his minions to get themselves thrown out of heaven.

Since narcissism is the very trait of the devil we know that he is behind all of it. He whispers in the ears of weak and beggarly people things that cause trouble and makes them think others are at fault for their own sin.

1 Peter 5:8 "Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."

We are watching evil grow in our world today, the very reason it is so important to know our enemy and to know how Christ wants us to respond to it.

Proverbs 22:24 "24 Do not make friends with an angry man, and do not associate with a hot-tempered man, 25or you may learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare.…"

If we must be in company with an angry evil man then here is God's instruction for that:

Luke 6:27-28 "27 But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you."

And, when we see the world becoming worse as 2 Timothy 3 says it will then we are instructed in verse 5 to avoid such people.

If we have spoken the gospel and told the truth of God's principles and the evil man will not repent then we are to shake the dust from our feet and move on while avoiding them.

2 Timothy 3:1-5 "3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.

2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, 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 godliness although they have denied its power; avoid such people as these."

Notice many of these people will pretend to be godly, but they are hellish and unrepentant, resisting the truth and growing worse in their arrogance.

We have hope, our world is about to pass away and we are going home to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, its all in God's hands. Hallelujah!

Kindness Merely to Impress Others

Have you ever met someone who is kind and friendly to some people but is unkind and rude to those they don't particularly like?

Those who treat people differently because of their attitude of superiority are showing their real selves, that is their inner heart is manipulative and malicious. It is evidence of an insecure person who needs to feel superior in order to generate confidence. These people are also self-absorbed without regard to anyone but themselves.

Those who are kind and loving are that way toward everyone all the time. It is not within a kind person to be rude even to those they don't particularly like. These people think of others before they think of themselves. They have no need to impress others so they are free to fully love.

Matthew 5:43-44

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,"

Those who are only friendly to those they wish to impress are phoneys. Also, those who listen to the gossip of the phonies are also at their core rude and mean on the inside.

Those who are loving and kind at their core inner being love to be kind, it's their very nature. Those who are superior acting and kind to some and rude to others are at their core inner being, mean people.

Often the rude people know they have been rude which is why they must concoct a desired negative belief about their target to justify how rude and mean they were to them.

Proverbs 11:2 “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.”

When we spend our time seeking Christ to grow in holiness we will grow in humility. We will be convicted by the Holy Spirit at the slightest sign of jealousy or pride causing us to confess it to be cleansed.

1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Those who pridefully act superior cannot grow emotionally and spiritually mature. They remain, infants, until they will recognize it in themselves and confess it to God and ask for Him to change their hearts.

May all of us keep close accounts of our own attitudes, evaluating ourselves asking God to reveal in us anything that does not honor Him.

1 Corinthians 11:31

"31 But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged."

If we are evaluating ourselves, hearing from the Holy Spirit and confessing that which does not honor God then and only then will be grow in holiness, confidence as well as emotional and spiritual maturity.

No confessing of sin and there will be no move forward. If we neglect to confess we will not only not grow we will regress and if we continue in that stubborn state God may make that spiritual and emotional regression permanent.

Matthew 13:15

"15 For the heart of this people has become dull,

With their ears they scarcely hear,

And they have closed their eyes,

Otherwise they might see with their eyes,

Hear with their ears,

Understand with their heart, and return,

And I would heal them.’"

Romans 2:5

"But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,"

It is likely that most of the people today who say they are Christians do not confess because they were never born again. However, if a believer becomes stubborn the Holy Spirit Who lives in them may stop speaking allowing the believer to become spiritually dull and not useful to the gospel. Their witness may be hindered.

John 15:6-8 "…6 If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are gathered up, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7 If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, proving yourselves to be My disciples.…'"

Those who do not remain were never born again. Those who remain are the born-again ones who have the seal of the Holy Spirit as a guarantee of their inheritance.

Ephesians 1:13-14

"13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of the promise, 14 who is a first installment of our inheritance, in regard to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory."

Amen, Amen!!!!!

Keeping a Promise or Make None at All

Sometimes narcissists are sincere at the time they promise something but because they are led almost entirely by their feelings in the moment, when their feelings change they will feel justified in purposely dropping the promise when they think they have a good enough reason and they do make up reasons that do not exist.

Since narcissists make promises in the moment to manipulate or make themselves feel good, they have nothing to guide them when they decide they don't feel good anymore. And, their feelings take priority over truth and righteousness. Since the promises are never about the good of the other person there is no sense of love in avoiding hurting someone else. The narcissist's own desires and needs always take priority over others.

We have all promised things and later wished we could renege on that promise, but if we have integrity we ignore our feelings and do the right thing in keeping our promise.

Deuteronomy 23:21-23

"If you make a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay fulfilling it, for the Lord your God will surely require it of you, and you will be guilty of sin. But if you refrain from vowing, you will not be guilty of sin. You shall be careful to do what has passed your lips, for you have voluntarily vowed to the Lord your God what you have promised with your mouth."

Numbers 30:2

"If a man vows a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth."

When Evil People Hate God They Will Hate Authentic Believers

Get Wisdom

"Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs" (Col 3:16).

What a blessing it is to know that God knows us better than we know ourselves and has everything in His hands that pertain to our lives.

Walking with Christ is exciting every day as we ponder what He has done for us and continues to do for us.

It seems so easy to understand that Christ has a purpose for everything in our lives even the difficult things.

May our lips praise Him continually as we seek wisdom and discernment.

Proverbs 1:2-7 "2 To know wisdom and instruction,

to understand words of insight,

3 to receive instruction in wise dealing,

in righteousness, justice, and equity;

4 to give prudence to the simple,

knowledge and discretion to the youth—

5 Let the wise hear and increase in learning,

and the one who understands obtain guidance,

6 to understand a proverb and a saying,

the words of the wise and their griddles.

7 the fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge;

fools despise wisdom and instruction."

Next time you speak wisdom to those who have rejected it, remember that they have just revealed something about themselves. It has nothing to do with you and everything to do with their lack of desire for wisdom.

Those who desire wisdom ask continually for it in everything in their lives.

James 1:4-6 "…4 Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 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.…"

God will not ignore anyone who wants His wisdom.

We Fight Against the Devil

The modern church relies way too much on what people say rather than how they live their lives.

Our actions do speak louder than words. And, words are easy and cheap, actions reveal ourselves while words can be cover-ups for hypocritical lives.

There is an old saying; "your actions speak so loud I can't hear a word you are saying", I can relate to this more and more as we navigate through this world in these end days.

Matthew 12:36

"I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak,"

Every words that is not supported by actions are lies. Every time someone uses words without any actions to prove the words they are revealing their hypocrisy.

The only Words that have power are the words of God in the Bible. The words of human beings are not powerful and often speak lies when they declare they are a Christian but have no more regard for the Word of God than they do any novel on the shelf of a bookstore.

It is common to feel and speak things without a lifestyle to prove it is true.

1 Corinthians 1:18

"For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."

Those who say they love others but gossip and lie against God speaking the opposite of what God says are not born again, but pretenders who "say" they are Christians but have no interest in seeking Christ for His wisdom, searching the Bible for His truth.

Those who are of this ilk often accuse believers of judging others when they speak the truth of God to remain faithful to the Word of Christ.

The "don't judge" mantra is a tool on the pretender's belt to intimidate into silence those who love the truth.

Another mantra that is common among pretenders is "you are legalistic." This is an attempt to shame believers into silence. These pretenders do not understand that following God's commands is not legalism. Following man's rules that God never made is legalism.

As soon as we see these two phrases used we can be sure we are encountering a pretender. Those who know the Word of God do not take these phrases out of context to discourage a believer. Those who are pretenders use the Bible out of context against the truth.

Anger is another tool on the pretender's belt. Anger emerges quickly when the pretender doesn't want to hear the truth. Rather than receiving truth humbly to discover their error and change their own heart, they fight bitterly to defend what is not true.

1 Corinthians 1:18

"For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."

Those who love Jesus Christ and authentically walk in His shoes want to know that God thinks and enjoys learning something from God's Word that they had not yet discovered.

Because of the glut of pretenders in the churches today God is allowing them to infiltrate a dead church while spreading their false gospel and every other false teaching.

Amos 8:9-13. "I will send a famine through the land—not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord."

We don't have to be a part of all this apostasy, we can carry on deeply in the Word, seeking wisdom from Christ in us, and be unaffected by the pretenders who come against us.

We can remain calm without taking any of it personally, returning kindness for rudeness and rejecting any attempts to cause frustration and anger in us. The devil wants us to become weak in our walk and witness. DON'T LET HIM TO IT.

1 John 4:4

"4 You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world."

Remember too that all those people who are pretenders are not doing their own thinking, it is the devil whom we fight against.
