Wise in Your Own Eyes?

Those who choose to be influenced by demons through their addiction to self love, are not out of control, but rather making conscious and deliberate decisions to indulge in their dependence on self exaltation. The devil is more than willing and able to help them live their dream of superiority.

The narcissists dedication to themselves over anyone else, colors their thinking, causing them to see things in convoluted ways. They cannot see clearly, everything is clouded by their personal desire to assign greatness to themselves.

Those who see narcissists for what they are, are targeted for continual devaluation. The narcissist must find fault with everything that the target does. To validate the target in any way would be unthinkable. They must also work to turn others against the target through their deliberate misinterpretation of events while telling others their twisted findings.

When everything we do all the time is based on looking good on the outside, it is unlikely that we will pay very much attention to problems of the heart, spiritual growth is not given much attention.
All attention is given to hiding, fooling others and appearing to be something one is not on the inside. It's a form of acting that becomes a habit with as much power as any drug addiction.

It is devastating to the narcissist when they discover that others have blown their cover. Those who know the Word of God and are discerning, quickly identify pretender and actors. These are the people that narcissists come after for defeat.

An honest, open and forthright individual is despised by the narcissist because they are a threat to the self absorbed personality.

The narcissist knows they are fakers, that's why they may even say to us "I can't be fake." If they "say" they are not something, then they are revealing that they are that very thing they claim they are not. I have witnessed this a number of times. We don't even have to accuse them, they will blurt it out when no one else brought it up.

Proverbs 28:1 "1 The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, But the righteous are bold as a lion."

A discerning believer never trusts merely in words, instead they watch lifestyles, actions and reactions along with body language. The believer can be so adept at this, from constant practice and involvement with a narcissist that it only takes a few minutes with people to see the clues.

If we are grounded in the Word of God, the evidence of a person's mentality is quickly discerned. Of course we watch for lots of evidence before making a decision about their attitude, but once that evidence has been overwhelming, we can know through the Word what our actions and responses should be.

Proverbs 26:4 "…3 A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, And a rod for the back of fools. 4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Or you will also be like him. 5 Answer a fool as his folly deserves, That he not be wise in his own eyes.…"

The verse in Proverbs can be confusing because it says to answer a fool according to his folly and then it says not to do so. There is a time to expose a fool for what he is and a time to walk away without answering them. The Holy Spirit can show us which is needed at the time of the encounter.

An open, honest and godly person does not have to hide, they do not fear being discovered. The narcissist hides because there is something to hide. They know they have evil inside and cannot take a chance on others discovering their heart.

They hide things while accusing others of making judgments and accusations against them, when in reality they are the ones who are doing this, not the target. They even hide when there is no reason to hide, when honesty would serve them better, this is the magnitude of the habit of hiding.

One of the devil's favorite tactics is to accuse others of doing evil when they are not but he is. This tactic has increased in our day, many will jump the gun to evaluate what others do, looking for evil to report, when there was no evil.

Manipulation and intimidation works on most people, that's why it is used in politics, families and government schools. Most people will give into those who act superior and those who intimidate them. We see this in colleges and seminaries, most people going to these places don't think for themselves, knowing it will lead to loneliness and isolation from the others.

Those who are critical and honest thinkers will not be popular nor will they have validation from others most of the time. The exciting thing is that when we walk with Christ we don't need the validation from people as the narcissists do. We are comfortable in our own skin filled with the Holy Spirit.

I often reflect on what the prophets must have encountered every day of their lives. We see them walking alone, being rejected and rebuffed, even lied against to demean them and their message. We do not see them having support even from their own families.

If you are born again, walking with Christ and dedicated to His Word, this will be your experience too. Lean into it, enjoy your time with Christ, soon we will be going home and will no longer have to deal with evil demonically inspired individuals.

Philippians 3:20 "…19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and their glory is in their shame. Their minds are set on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body.…"

THEREIN LIES OUR HOPE!!!!!!

Abolish the Police: Insanity Reigns

WHAT????? Abolish police? Does she really believe that all crime will go away if there are not police. She is either a fool or a liar, perhaps both. It's the same mentality that has ruled our families and institutions of education for the past 40 years. The foolishness that all we have to do is play nice with one another, everyone will play nice back. But evil people never play nice, they are all about person aggrandizement and control over others. The more we remain silent and put up with their nonsense, the worse they become.

It is clear that if there were no police, the evil would flourish while the righteous will be persecuted. The laws are for the lawless.

1 Timothy 1:8-10 "…8 Now we know that the Law is good, if one uses it legitimately. 9 We realize that law is not enacted for the righteous, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for killers of father or mother, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave traders and liars and perjurers, and for anyone else who is averse to sound teaching…"

Isaiah 26:10 "10 Though the wicked is shown favor, He does not learn righteousness; He deals unjustly in the land of uprightness, And does not perceive the majesty of the LORD."

It is clear from my study of narcissism that evil people do not get better when treated kindly, they get worse. The more we allow their evil with a plastic smile on our faces, so that they will like us and then like Jesus is a silly notion at best. The longer we allow evil in our midst, the more they feel empowered.

We are never to do bad to evil people, but we must speak the truth to them and avoid them if they will not listen. Their constant resistance to Christ and His principles will keep us on an unnecessary irrational roller coaster ride.

Isaiah 55:7-8 " 7 Let the wicked forsake his way And the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return to the LORD, And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. 8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," declares the LORD.…"Show less

Under A Modified Dictatorship

I am convinced we are living under a modified dictatorship right now, it will probably be official soon. "O" has been ignoring the constitution almost completely and few in government have addressed the treasonous nature of these acts.

The nation is being invaded through the guise of "refugees". Amassing an army under the radar will cause the country to be completely off guard and ill prepared.

Because the animal is too big. Far too many people in government just go along to keep themselves safe. By the time they figure it all out, that the plans and actions were schemes, it will be too late to stop it.

In order to save this country, God would have to remove nearly everyone in national government, nearly everyone in the state governments and lastly in the city governments. That is just how big the elephant in the room has become. The elephant has been there so long, no one notices his presence.

The devil has managed to take control of nearly all government agencies from top to bottom, leaving little influence from conservative or Christian entities. Those conservatives who speak out are quickly eliminated one way or another, to be replaced by more liberal and godless people.

America is under attack, not yet by the invading army, but has been in a war since the seventies through the indoctrination of our children. These godless leaders knew if they could spoon feed our children their lies that there is no God, that loving oneself was more important than anything else, they could create a nation of self absorbed, mindless drones that would fall into their trap easily without much effort. These narcissistic children will never fight for anything bigger than their own personal desires, they won't be a threat to the dictatorial government.

The teaching of self esteem has removed any sense of respect and honor for parents, police or any other authority who might tell them something they don't like to hear.

I am reminded of the "Brown Shirts" in Germany during WWII, they were arrogant, self absorbed individual who were convinced that they were better than those they would murder.

All it took to get the German boys to join the ranks was to convince them they were superior to those who didn't deserve to live. Haven't we already begun this mentality with the murdering of approximately 56 million babies? After all the babies have been declared sub-human, it is not necessary to protect them when they are inconvenient.

If you think we are not like Germany, then you have not been paying attention. The attitude of superiority runs rampant through everything in this culture. The violence is continuing and growing as more and more people demand their personal rights, even rights tho murder another human being simply because that person gets in the way.

Now with mindless, rebellious and selfish generations, the government will take over, remove all our freedoms, eliminate God from everything and very few in the next generation will notice. They will think all this is normal and acceptable as long as they are fed their entertainment, food and housing, nothing else will matter to them.

There are still a few of us left who see what is happening, but that number is dwindling too, as many older folks are just "going along" out of the fear of being left alone without help or nurturing.

Brothers and Sisters we can't allow the culture to change or mold us, it must be God's Word that keeps us.

Psalm 9:17 "17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God."

The Upside Down Flag

Flying the American flag upside down is permitted in cases of deep distress to signal that Americans need help.

We are a nation in dire distress right now. The distress is not from without as in the past, but from deeply within.

Those who are in power now have hijacked the nation, covertly placing us under a modified dictatorship, so insidiously that most people have not noticed.

The country is under the impression that all is well when everything is upside down and sideways.

It is the story of "The Emperor’s New Clothes", all over again. Tell the people that the naked Emperor in the parade has beautiful new cloths and they will rave with glee at how wonderful are those new clothes.

Only one little girl in the crowd had the thinking power and fortitude to shout out, "but he has no clothes on."

With every new filthy government mandate that undermines our morality, there are only a few who make a fuss, most everyone else concurs with the mandates and begins to comply to fit in.

Shortly after the decision to allow same sex marriage many churches began to jump on the band wagon in favor of acceptance from the world. They "prided" themselves about how accepting they were.

Romans 1:31-32 "…31 They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them."

1 Corinthians 5:1-2 "5 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father's wife. 2 And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you."

The churches today are prideful in thinking they are so wonderful because they tolerate and embrace sin in the body of Christ. Instead of preaching holiness and putting the sinner out to discipline them and save their eternal soul, they endorse and encourage the very things God hates.

Liberals Live Hypocrisy

Liberals hardly ever make sense and are almost always inconsistent. They are narcissists who think the rules don't apply to them even when they make the rules.

Those who say you shouldn't judge others will take away your freedom to choose whether or not to bake a cake for someone about to engage in an abomination.

Liberals shout out the right to privacy while denying others their privacy in terms of gun ownership to protect themselves.

Why is it that liberals are so inconsistent? It's because they are narcissists, acting like spoiled brats they demand what they want and deny others the right to do the same thing.

The Way Liberals Think

The thinking of the "liberals."

"I can't love or respect you if you don't think like I do."

"I can't love or respect you unless you validate everything I do and everything I am."

"I can't love or respect you if you do not act like I do or dress like I do."

"You are worthy of demeaning and mocking if you say anything different from what I say."

"If you dare to demonstrate a life of following your principles that are not what I like, you will be maligned, mocked and gossiped about."

The love of the liberal narcissist is entirely based on how much we elevate and praise them personally. Their love is not love at all but conditional to our being just like them.

In order to be loved by the liberal, we must do what they do, like what they like, think as they do and above all praise them at all times no matter what.

2 Timothy 3:2 "1 But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good,…"

Jude 1:16 "16 These men are discontented grumblers, following after their own lusts; their mouths spew arrogance; they flatter others for their own advantage."

Do not take the "liberal" seriously, they are undiscerning, lacking in empathy while using manipulation and intimidation on a regular basis to control others. They are tortured souls who are not satisfied with their own accomplishments, but must force others to engage in their elevated view of their own importance.

We see this in politics and in families. The powers that be, are working to frighten dissenters into compliance, through pressure from the courts to give in to their demands or loose everything.
Families do this as well as political entities.

We have recourse in all this, we can obey God no matter what and leave the consequences to God. God has the answers for everything. It is good to remember that everything we go through makes us stronger, it is a spiritual exercise that shows us our vulnerabilities, which areas need more work.

Romans 5:3-4 "More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,"

James 1:12-18
"12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him."

The Devil Controls the Drama

If you have been perplexed by all the nonsensical drama that seems to envelope you in this life, this may shed some light on it. We are living in a fallen world, that is getting worse all the time.

As reasonable godly thinking people, we are astonished at the silliness we encounter. Irrational reactions to normal, benign actions and conversations seem to be increasing.

The church gatherings are full of pretenders, not merely false teachers but also those who are divisive through their disobedience and haughty arrogant attitudes, defending that which God has condemned, they cause trouble, polarizing people against one another.

These same divisive individuals will attempt to bring others into their fold thought lies and half truths. They think they are being cleaver, while in fact they are being manipulated by demons.

Sadly there are those who remain silent within the gatherings merely to be accepted but would not normally surrender their own lives to the same sins, they manage to endorse the sin in the lives of others by their silence.

These people of the devil, are unaware that they are being used to do the bidding of the evil one. When they do evil and are confronted about their evil, they play the victim to garner sympathy from others, thereby managing to turn others against those who will not accept their sin. Even though the real evidence shows that a liar has manipulated the perceptions of others, undiscerning people who are worried about the praise of men, will hold their tongues when they should speak. The devil is diabolical in his dealings, intimidation and manipulation are his favorite tools.

He can get people to think their wicked plans are their own idea, even being proud of themselves for how shrewd they were, all the while the devil and his minions are enjoying the mess they create.

God has a lot to say about all this:

John 8:43-45 "…43 Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message. 44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me!…"

2 Corinthians 4:3-4
"3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,
4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God."

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 "…13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions.…"

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

Those who choose to obey God and ask for His Wisdom will be able to see these attitudes for what they are, that is devilish.

Ephesians 4:14 "14 As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;"

2 Peter 1:4 "4 For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust."

Philippians 1:9-10 "And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,"

We don't have to be undiscerning or lacking in wisdom, it is a choice to either have discernment and wisdom or not.

James 1:4-6 "…4 Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 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.…"
