God's Description of the Narcissist is a Fool

From my experience, narcissists are so foolish that they chase away the empathetic kind, and loving person who would be an asset to them, for a momentary feeling of superiority.

The only people left in the narcissist's life are rude, mean people who use them as they use their rude friends, they are always engaged in silly drama that has no purpose except feelings of dominance.

This feeling is so fleeting that they have to keep doing this over and over again while in a state of continual stress, thinking they are getting something good out of it but there is no good.

Proverbs 28:26: "Those who trust in themselves are fools, but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe"

Proverbs 23:9: "Do not speak to fools, for they will scorn your prudent words"

Proverbs 18:2

"A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion."

Narcissists think they know others but they do not. They assign to others their own thinking and make guesses about others that are not accurate based on the narcissists own mindset. They do not know anyone but think they know everyone and everything.

Narcissists have lots of people around them but no close friends. They have a sour mood they cover up as long as their friends remain loyal to them, and it is all very superficial.

The real narcissist mentality emerges as soon as someone else doesn't elevate them as special. When the friends make their own choices and think differently from them, they punish them when they do not bow to the narcissist. Narcissists are the bossiest and most judgmental people you will ever meet but become enraged if you suggest they think or do something differently.

In short the narcissist is one who is highly hypocritical, they expect to do anything the way they want but others must do things their way. They expect to never be corrected but correct others often.

And, lastly, narcissists gossip with ferocity, as they judge others for the silliest things. If we were to judge their things the way they judge us they would become enraged.

This description of the narcissist is one commensurate with the devil. He is behind the tactics and imaginations of the narcissist, even making the narcissist think it is their own idea.

Proverbs 1:7

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction."

Proverbs 18:6

"A fool's lips walk into a fight, and his mouth invites a beating."

The best way to protect ourselves in these last days of wickedness is to stay away from those who are narcissistic. They bring nothing but trouble to the lives of those who love Christ and then blame the trouble on the believer. There is no value in allowing these people into our lives.

Proverbs 28:26

"Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered."

Trusting Christ Instead of Ourselves

When we pray it is foolishness to pray specifics for a desire because God knows what is best for us. We ought to pray for His guidance and His perfect will for us.
Our silly ideas about what we think we want may be far less than what He has planned for us.

 
There have been many twists and turns in my life that I didn't understand but as I trusted Christ I realized later why they should be and what a blessing it was to be taken from what I thought I wanted to His perfect will.

His will made my will look silly when He showed me His purpose in what He did.

Proverbs 3:5-6
"5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight."
Anyone who thinks they know better than God is foolish!!!!!

We Shall Know Them

God told those who have the Holy Spirit, "you shall know them by their fruit."

Matthew 7:17-20
"17 So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So then, you will know them by their fruits."

Galatians 5:22-23
"22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."
Those who are born again will see into the Spirit of another believer and connect because of the Holy Spirit.

Those Who Want Control

Just like the devil the narcissist wants control over everyone within their sphere of influence. The devil wanted to be above God and when he could not he began to attempt to ruin all those who loved God.

This is exactly the tactic of those who are narcissists. They are driven by the same mentality of superiority as the devil was when in his fantasies he thought he could be above God.

Narcissists are deeply insecure people who are not satisfied with what God made them, they want more, they want to be above God and everyone else. Their desire to be superior to everyone, the center of attention in every situation is the evidence of a deep insecurity that drives them to seek validation through intimidation and supremacy.

Narcissists are disposed to judge the smallest matters of others to feel dominant over them. The devil does this very thing, it is his mission to dominate, control and ruin anyone who loves Christ.

1 Peter 5:8

"Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour."

Narcissists are controlled by the devil through thoughts of grandiosity about themselves. He appeals to their pride to cause anger in them when they cannot be the center of attention for every encounter.

Genesis 3:5

5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it."

The devil appealed to the pride in Eve convincing her she should be like God, it was her right to be so. This is the same mentality of narcissists. They are completely controlled by the devil and think it is their own idea.

No one can love the way God loves without Christ. Everyone will have a degree of narcissism unless they confess it to be cleansed by God and desire to be changed.

2 Timothy 3:1-5

Difficult Times Will Come

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."

Psalm 37:28

"For the Lord loves justice; he will not forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off."

For those who repent and trust Christ there is peace, joy and strength, no one can overtake us not even the devil.

Psalm 91:1-16 "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, ..."

The False Gospel of Calvin

The false gospel of "predestination" is growing in popularity but is completely irrational.

God is sovereign for sure but this does not mean a sovereign God cannot give choices. We know He does because He gave a choice to Adam and Eve to choose sin or to obey, they chose what all of us would choose.

A god who would determine ahead of time that some were born to go to hell without a choice and then punish them in hell for not choosing, because of His choice to see them suffer, is irrational and not the God of love.

Christ suffered terribly on the cross for all of mankind, the suffering, death, and resurrection make no sense if those going to heaven had no choice but to go there.

2 Corinthians 5:14-15: "He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again"

1 John 2:2: "He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for the whole world only"

John 3:16: "God loved the world"

Hebrews 2:9: "Jesus taste death for everyone"

Romans 5:6-8

"For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. / Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. / But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

John 3:16

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

God loved the whole world and desired that everyone would be saved, knowing that most would not choose Him.

I have to ask those who believe they were chosen to go to heaven while others were chosen to go to hell, how do you know you are a chosen one, perhaps you only think you are one of the special ones?

Born-again believers know they are born again because Christ said that ANYONE who trusts in Christ will be changed into a new creation and sealed with the Holy Spirit. If this were not so then evangelism would make no sense, the cross would make no sense and choosing Christ would make no sense. Why bother to choose at all if God has already determined where we are going without any choice from us?

1 Peter 2:24

He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. “By His stripe you are healed.”

Our God is not a monster who enjoys the suffering of people, He does not gain anything from those who perish.

1 Timothy 2:3-6, 3This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

5 For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,

6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time."

An unregenerate person who heard this blasphemous message of the "Calvinist" would say; "why bother, I am going where He wants me anyway." This is not the gospel message that only some have an opportunity to go to heaven, it is devilish and descouraging to those who are lost, but a source of arrogance and pride for those who think they are the ones chosen.

Perhaps many if not all who think they are special and chosen are the ones who were never born again, think about it!!!!

Matthew 7:21-23 "21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’"

How do the "chosen ones" who follow Calvin know they are the elite chosen?
