Gaslighting is Increasing

As the world grows darker and more wicked we will see gaslighting increase, many people use it regularly.

It is emotional abuse and those who do it should be avoided. These people are beyond disrespectful without love and honor.

Some of the tactics of those who gaslight others are as follows:

Lying

Discrediting you through gossip

Blaming you and others for their own behavior

Trivialize your feelings, thoughts, actions, and successes

Accusing others of what the gaslighter is doing and the others are not.

Changing the recollections of conversations, very different from what was actually said.

When shown proof the gaslighter was wrong they continue to deny it anyway even with proof.

Gaslighters remain silent when confronted with their own behavior when they cannot come up with a good lie to refute it.

The purpose of the gaslighting is to cause the target to become insecure and insignificant. Why? Because the gaslighter is very insecure and must feel superior at all times. They do this only to those they are jealous of and they believe is beneath them, or more accurately they want their target to feel less than them.

These gaslighters attempt to make you look crazy through our reactions to their foolishness. The best thing to do is not to react, but even when you are calm they will accuse you anyway because they are liars.

I once had a very angry man accuse me of being angry when he was clearly the angry one. I calmly told him I disagreed with him. He sat in a chair, legs crossed, leg swinging, arms cross, and face turning red when out of his mouth came the words; "you seem angry."

When you encounter this more than once with the same person you can be sure this is a character flaw that is not going to go away. We cannot change their behavior by telling them or exposing them, because they deny everything they do.

However we can love them from afar and pray for God to work in them. However, we must also pray for ourselves to be strong enough not to react or retaliate toward those who act badly.

Telling the truth may be useful for others in the room who may observe what is going on, but often if you are alone you can choose not to respond when you are attacked verbally.

When we see these things happening, hopefully early on in the relationships, so that we can avoid contact with the gaslighter.

Kind loving people do not gaslight, they are truthful and honest as a lifestyle. Those who gaslight do it also as a lifestyle.

Romans 16:17-18 "17 Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create divisions and obstacles that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Turn away from them. 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery, they deceive the hearts of the naive.…"

There are many ways for someone to be divisive, gaslighting is only one of them.

Listen to the Holy Spirit not to Men

So many restrictions are being placed on church gatherings and on speech these days, one has to wonder what is next.

I wonder if the authorities will bother with outlawing the Bible, after all, most churches are not actually following it anyway. OR, perhaps God will take it away because it is being misused constantly.

I am convinced God removed the ten commandments from the schools because they were being ignored, not bringing anyone to Christ. Perhaps all they were doing was making people feel self-righteous about how good they think they have become.

God has shut everything down to show us the futility of our foolish activities. Our parties, our ball games, our gambling, and bars which promote every form of immorality. Its all been shut down, yes and it was God Who did it using wicked people to close their own wicked ways, thinking it was for their health.

Even the schools that promote rebellion against parents while teaching children to enjoy sin have been closed.

God has done this using wicked people. Do not think for one minute it was merely a plan of a government, it was God using the rebellion of a government to destroy their own economy because of the widespread rebellion against Him.

When we tell God "we don't want you anymore", He simply He will withdraw and let us have our own way.

that will destroy us as a nation.

Many of the demonstrators who say they are conservative have no desire to obey God in their own lives, they only want to "appear" as though they are righteous but they defy more of God's Word than they obey.

Matthew 15:7-9 "…7 You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you: 8‘ These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. 9 They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’ ”…"

This country is so perverted in its thinking now it depends on psychology rather than the Bible, it elevates preachers to a special status above others in the church while paying them a salary to make sure they stay. WHY? Because the men of the church will not take turns teaching, preaching, and praying for wisdom to lead in plurality. It is laziness on the part of the men to want to sit in the pew, half-asleep while the hireling does all the work.

These ways are against God's ways, the system is seriously broken leading many people astray into false doctrine by men who see their position in the church as a job rather than a serious calling to guide the sheep while being accountable to God first and then to the rest of the gathering.

The preachers now see themselves as above others, rather than servants of them. They are arrogant, self-absorbed and pleasure-seeking in their comic delivery acts on that stage.

Flippantly using the Word as a prop to entertain the people while twisting what's in it to fit with the culture. This my friend is the state of the modern church, apostate and foolish.

1 Timothy 4:1

"Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,"

Galatians 1:8-9

"But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed."

Beware that you walk with Christ and not with man, especially in these last days of apostasy and deception. Do not allow anyone to intimidate you to question your decision to follow the Holy Spirit instead of men. The days are evil and there will be very few men who are preaching and teaching led by the Holy Spirit.

The Tipping Point: Rebellion in the Church has Caused This!

This is happening because this country has rejected God while endorsing every form of sin without a conscience.

When God Orders Even the Devil Obeys

A very poor woman called a Christian radio station asking for help. A bad, evil man who was listening to this radio program decided to make something out of it. He got her address, called his secretary and ordered her to buy food and take to the woman with the following instruction., "when the woman asks who sent the food, tell her that its from the devil.'' When she arrived, the woman was so happy and she started putting the food inside. The Secretary asked her, ''don't you want to know who sent the food''?? The woman answered. ''NO , it doesn't matter, because when GOD orders, even the devil obeys." The secretary broke into tears.

Resisting the Devil

Praise the Lord we can live above the low standards of this world and those who are motivated by thoughts the devil places in the minds of many.

James 4:6-8 "6 But He gives us more grace. This is why it says: “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.…"

The devil only wins when we allow narcissists in the world to push our buttons. He has no effect when we resist his evil tactics through prayer and Bible reading.

Hallelujah!!!!!
