Handling Haters

Goodboy

Just waiting for the Rapture at this point!
This is a sermon from this past Sunday that I needed to hear as I have a sister that I needed to distance myself from. I thought the sermon was not only good but right on time for me as last week my sister who I believe is a Covert Narcissist was trying to hurt me emotionally. I don't know who else needs to hear this, but I did. 👍

I won't explain why I understand this very very well but this is a good sermon, and here's my encouragement to you as a brother in the Lord.

Sometimes we can't fix it. And they don't want to.

Like David before Saul threatening his life, we have to run, to put distance between us and the one who is trying to destroy us. Boundaries.

People don't always understand that forgiveness (done that) and love (check) and prayer (ongoing) don't always change another person, even a Christian person this side of eternity.

Limiting their ability to sin against you (in David's case, he limited Saul's access to him in order to prevent Saul from the sin of murder) IS the loving act.

Every situation is different but when the Lord says leave, sometimes that is so the other person can have God work directly in their life without the love and concern we have towards them, that they use against us. God removes us for our sake, AND for theirs. In the silence they may hear Him speak. But His way of dealing with them is for their best and sometimes that involves discipline that you don't need to be part of.

Especially if there is a pattern of them lashing out when God begins to allow circumstances in their lives to bring them to their knees. You don't need to be around to be a convenient target of their rage.

My heart goes out to you in this.

Stay strong- for her benefit as well as yours, so that the Lord may speak into her life more firmly than if you were still there.

Pray from a distance. Let God move in her life, separated from you as God will continue to move in your life, at a safe distance from her.

Thanks for the kind encouraging words. 😍

I have been in relationships with a few different Covert Narcissists. This type of Narcissist pretends to be an Empath. Being an Empath myself, I am attracted to them not knowing they are being fake. They are attracted to me as they correctly feel as an Empath I am easier to control. Believe it or not I have dealt with five different Covert Narcissist in a row starting with my X-wife who I am divorced from.

I have learned their tricks like, getting me to feel sorry for them, criticizing me, making me feel guilty, gaslighting me, pretending to not know what they are doing and many other tricks to control me. Don't feel sorry for me though as I learned a lot from each one of them and now those tricks no longer work on me. I totally believe that God had me go through this so I could learn about Covert Narcissists and use this knowledge to help others. I already used this knowledge to emotionally help my niece when her husband asked for and got a divorce from her.

Who was the first Narcissist? Satan! The Bible says there will be many Narcissists during the end times as per below.

2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2 Timothy 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2 Timothy 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2 Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2 Timothy 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
2 Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2 Timothy 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
2 Timothy 3:9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.


More people need to understand Narcissist, especially Covert Narcissists as they are the most tricky and harder to recognize.

God Bless! 😍
