Depending on Christ Alone

Satan is a narcissist, he attempted to influence Eve to distrust God. He influenced her to take action against God while causing her to act independently of God.

In short, the devil does what all narcissists do, which is to isolate his target from their support systems so they can control them without the input of others.

This is the reason the devil is working so hard to destroy family relationships so that he can have more influence over his targets. When people have no support system they do desperate things to relieve their sense of loneliness.

The more dependent on people the devil can make you the less you can depend on God.

When we have Christ and He is the One we depend on we can freely make decisions based on His principles, we enjoy people but we do not depend on them nor do we have expectations of them.

Just like Jesus Christ we wish all people could repent and become born again, but just like Him we know most will not, so we do what Christ leads us to do in sharing how to trust in Christ and we leave all the results to Christ, we bear no guilt or shame when we see they will not receive it.

If most people would not listen to Christ and His apostles we can expect that most will not listen to us either.

Luke 10:16 "

“The one who listens to you listens to Me, and the one who rejects you rejects Me; but the one who rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me."

We will be going home soon and our job here on earth will be ended until we move into the Millennium when we reign with Christ.
