Leaning on God in a Narcissistic World Not a victim #7
Psalms 56:13 For You delivered me from death, even my feet from stumbling, to walk before God in the light of life. | Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) As I’m reading/listening to my devotions this morning, this scripture comes alive in my mind. It reminds me of what is going on in our world today. It reminds me of what happens when I get all flustered and start questioning myself when interacting with a narcissistic person. My mind was awakened by these words. This is a prayer by David in the bible. He was being hunted down. He was hated by the people who were threatened and wanted to be…

Not a Victim Blog #6
Since my last post I’ve been researching narcissism and what God has to say about the subject in His Word. The book, “The First Will Be Last” (DC Robertsson) was recommended to me by a Facebook writing group member. Here’s a link for research, https://biblicalperspectivesonnarcissism.com/category/5-dealing-with-narcissists/5-practical-actions/ I also found a couple of books at Barns and Noble on the subject. I’m not going to reference them here because I’ve not yet researched the authors or reading material to be able to comment either way. But if you are doing your own research, they are located in the Psychology genre section under Narcissists and Gaslighting. As noted in the book mentioned earlier,…

Well, I messed up!! I’m not proud of myself at all. I became that person I used to judge from the side lines. But it was all me! I lost it! It’s amazing how much power a narcissistic personality has, when the target is not rooted in Gods word and not immersed with the power of prayer. I didn’t start the day out with specific prayer for the moment. I didn’t come prepared. I reacted in a moment of weakness. I allowed the narcissist to bring me down to their level. I became the victim allowing the narcissist to claim a victim triumph. After this devastating show of defeat, the…

“Keeping our eyes on Jesus, the source and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that lay before Him endured a cross and despised the shame and has sat down at the right hand of God’s throne.” Hebrews 12:2 HCSB https://bible.com/bible/72/heb.12.2.HCSB As I wait at the airport I overhear a conversation between three women. They could very well be talking about the person I’ve been referring to in this blog. Their situation was different but the dialogue was the same. Sitting on the receiving end what I hear seems to be so petty and annoying. However, I’ve been on their side too many times and I understand their pain. …

“If possible, on your part, live at peace with everyone.” Romans 12:18 HCSB What does a person do when faced with a narcissistic personality type relative. What does a person do when everything they do is wrong according to this particular person? Live at peace with even this person, not as easy as the words imply. Are you the type of person that’s a rule follower? Somebody that wants everyone to be happy? Do you think of others before yourself? Are you a type of person that will change your plans or ideas if it makes another happy? Well, you’re not alone. And that’s more than ok!!! That’s how God…

Not a Victim #2
“For it was You who created my inward parts; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will praise You because I have been remarkably and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, and I know this very well. My bones were not hidden from You when I was made in secret, when I was formed in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw me when I was formless; all my days were written in Your book and planned before a single one of them began. God, how difficult Your thoughts are for me to comprehend; how vast their sum is!” Psalms 139:13-17 HCSB God knows everyone of us!…

NOT A VICTIM BLOG POST #1
“Be serious! Be alert! Your adversary the Devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour. Resist him and be firm in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being experienced by your fellow believers throughout the world.” 1 Peter 5:8-9 HCSB I’ve been encouraged by the Holy Spirit to blog about yet another subject. A subject that is close to my heart, sensitive, and personal and private. This may not seem that big of a deal to some of you, but believe me when I say, I feel like I’m stepping out into the red sea. I am actually working on a book…
