God Is Exposing a COVERT NARCISSIST to You If . . .

16 Signs God Is Exposing a Narcissist in Your Life

Follow God not Man

God forbade the Jews to marry pagan women, it had nothing to do with their ethnicity. The problem was that pagan women would practice abominations against God in the household of the believer.

Just as God commands believers not to marry unbelievers the Israelites were told not to marry pagan women.

This command is being violated constantly in our culture within the church, even believers are divorcing after they have ignored God's commands not to marry unbelievers, they compound the disobedience with another disobedience.

Then sadly they are remarrying influencing their friends to remarry even though Christ expressly said to remarry after a divorce was adultery. They are causing their brothers and sisters to accept their remarriage and even show contempt for those who refuse to participate.

Luke 16:18 “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. "

1 Corinthians 7:10-11 "…10 To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. 11 But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife."

All the "exceptions" people give are not Biblical and are ignorant of the teachings of the Bible. One only has to pray and seek Christ to find this out. Sadly many people in the church are following the teachings of man rather than seeking Christ and refuse to seek Him, because they love the teachings of men that say what they want to hear.

God clearly states that one must not divorce but if found to have already done it then they are to remain alone except if reconciled to their spouse. Using Old Testament passages pertaining to the Jews is nothing more than an attempt to justify what God condemns.

If you seek man and their humanistic teachings you will be wrong more than you are right, it is Christ we must seek.

If You Want to be Wise Repent and Trust in Christ

If we want to be truly wise we must give up trusting in ourselves and focus on Christ Who lives in us.

HOWEVER, we can only depend on Christ living in us if we have confessed our sinful nature and desire to be changed by Him into a new creation. When we have confessed to Him we are sinful and asked Him to change us into a new creation He does it and from then on He is the One Who works in us.

Ephesians 2:10

"10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."

To be wise trust in Christ and not ourselves. Only He can make us wise. If we try to make ourselves wise we will be fools.

Proverbs 12:15-19

"15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,

But a person who listens to advice is wise.

16 A fool’s anger is known at once,

But a prudent person conceals dishonor.

17 One who declares truth tells what is right,

But a false witness, deceit.

18 There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword,

But the tongue of the wise brings healing.

19 Truthful lips will endure forever,

But a lying tongue is only for a moment."

Isaiah 5:21

"Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight!"

Proverbs 26:12

"Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him."

Separate From Those Who Would Discourage You

Very often the people who say they are Christians are the ones we ought to separate from. These people are those who want to remain superficial and disobedient to the word, making up their own truth and claiming it came from God. These people will hold us back, attempt to intimidate us into remaining infantile in our walk. 


Proverbs 13:19-21
19 Desire realized is sweet to the soul,
But it is an abomination to fools to turn away from evil.
20 One who walks with wise people will be wise,
But a companion of fools will suffer harm.
21 Adversity pursues sinners,
But the righteous will be rewarded with prosperity.
