The Devil is a Narc

Lucifer was a beautiful angel. But he didn't want to be second to God. And so he led a revolt with 1/3 of the angels. He was defeated, but ever since then he roams around seeking to devour.

His techniques are to make God look bad by doing anything he can to twist Christianity and other religions. To make counterfeit religions, to encourage others to be like him and think that they are better than othe religious leaders. Jim Jones, Osama bin Laden....

In our lives, he keeps us thinking about the devil's own accomplishments. Keeps us thinking about the self-serving egotistical people who are just like him. Beautiful and evil - and totally self-serving.

The devil tries to keep us thinking about our sins and what we did wrong - keep us belittled. And also keep us focused on what he did - because the hurts and mistakes we keep dwelling on glorify him.

He convinces us to try to figue out ad infinitum how we were deceived - this is like playing a football playbook film over and over and over - one where the opponent won. The first few times we learn something. After that, we do nothing but glorify our opponent.

He uses Bible verses against us - he did this to Jesus too. Pray for those who persecute you. He twists this - because we need to let them go and move on. How can we do that if we are stuck praying for them? Yes, we need to pray for them and give them to God but then we need to mentally and spiritually walk away.

The devil takes good things that are of benefit to us and tries to get us stuck there - staring at him and what he did in awe.

The devil is a Narcissist.

There is a time for every purpose under heaven. We need to see what is happening, deal with what we can, discover if we need extensive psychological help and most of all, prevent it from happening again. This is a good thing.

But the devil likes the attention he gets in this stage, and he tries to keep people there. Looking at him and the person who acts just like him.

To move on, you have to think of something else. You have to do something else. You can't not think about Chocolate by trying to figure out how not to think about chocoalte. Go to the gym, have some lemonade, call a friend. That is how to not think about chocolate.

There is a time, and then the time passes. And another time should follow.

This is fascinating.

Dema, thank you for this fascinating post. I have read it over and over. I think it is so smart and true. Let me ask you one thing: "The devil takes good things that are of benefit to us and tries to get us stuck there - staring at him and what he did in awe." What do you mean by this? Tries to get us stuck where? You have so beautifully described the relationship I had with this guy in my life. Most people don't understand his true nature, and it's hard for them to understand why it's hard for me to make sense of it and walk away. But you really get it.

Good things used against us

As Christians, we are supposed to forgive. So the N "repents" over and over. And our desire to please God keeps us in an awful situation. I am sure I passed my 70 times 7 for forgiveness long ago. As Christians, we must pray for those who persecute us. And many keep right on praying - but praying keeps us bound to the Narc - keeps us thinking about him. We are also told to not even think about things done in darkness, to not be unequally yoked and so forth - but instead, we get stuck on this praying thing. We SHOULD pray, give it to God and LET IT GO. We don't need to be praying forever for the N. We get to analyzing forgiveness and we get all stuck in the idea that we need to figure out forgiveness. No. We need to pray once and let it go. Let God. These are good things that the devil uses against us - we can tell it is the devil doing it when there is all this confusion and urgency and nervousness and strife.

OK -- yes -- thank you for the clarification

Now I understand what you mean, and I agree so much. Your last sentence made me cry. It makes me think of something very wise my late husband (NOT the narc) said about raising kids: "If something makes you feel deeply bad, it means it's wrong." The Devil is afraid.

The little devil

managed to get the final divorce hearing postponed from tomorrow to Nov 3. He is ridiculous. I keep great records, he keeps lousy ones. He requested my records so I requested his. He's going to pay a fortune. My lawyer let me catalogue and copy myself. I'm going to resubmit an offer in hopes of not going to court. But, he is a little devil. He is a little human, too. May God speak to the human in him and end this mess. So, onto thinking of other things. Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. Sex instead of chocolate just really isn't an option right now. lol.

And another Amen

to this great observation: "To move on you have to think of something else. You have to do something else." Those words hold the key to freedom. It's difficult and it takes commitment and diligence but it is possible and it does work. Where you focus your thoughts becomes your reality. It's as simple as that. Thank you for this post. Sincerely, (not) spinning. IT'S A CHOICE AND I CHOOSE MYSELF
