Introduction: The Spiritual Battle
Beware of the Narc!
Welcome to Almighty Anecdotes, the weekly podcast where stories bridge the gap between our everyday lives and spiritual devotion. I'm your host, and every week, we share stories that enrich your faith and enhance your connection to God. Whether you're seeking inspiration, comfort, or a deeper understanding of your spiritual journey, you're in the right place.
So, Find a quiet spot, settle in, and let's prepare our hearts to receive the messages God has woven into today's story, ready to draw closer to God through the power of storytelling. Let's begin.
There was a spiritual battle taking place in the home. Good vs. evil. I represented the presence of God, while Janice represented the kingdom of darkness.
Revelation and Change
I admittedly was on the defensive early on and demonstrated it, but once I received the revelation I needed to overcome the attacks, the atmosphere in the home changed. Rather than constantly defending myself, I started to exude a sense of invincibility.
As time went on, I separated from Janice and gravitated toward Otis, as I could see something was going on within him.
Otis's Awakening
At one point, after months of being myself and walking in God's love, his eyes began to open to the truth.
Facing Character Assassination
Many don't realize that I know what's being said and done behind my back. I am aware of the character assassinations and lies perpetrated.
I have two truths about this: first, I can do nothing about it. And secondly, I don't care. Let them talk; God will deal with them. God will vindicate me. I don't need to do anything; in fact, that's what they want me to do. The more we open our mouths, the more likely it is that we will slip up, which then gives the enemy a chance to strike.
Janice's Manipulation
I knew that Janice was trying to discredit me by portraying me as the horrible person she had created me to be. But it's difficult to deny the love of God or the presence of God if you have it surrounding you daily. I could sense Otis's eyes beginning to see the truth. This led to him coming out of his cold demeanor and embracing me in subtle ways.
As time passed, Janice noticed this and began to hover over him to learn about God's influence on him. Let's make one thing clear: a narcissist doesn't do anything with a motive that suits them. They are emotionless. The things she did for her husband were out of obligation. At every chance, she complained about him and what she had to do for him. Therefore, it was easy to discern the sudden surge of attention she was giving him.
She was there for every opportunity to spend time with him. In moments when he and I were conversing or interacting on a project, she would interfere or redirect his actions.
The Power of Narcissism
Observing his behavior, I stepped back, realizing that he was the victim of witchcraft. I could see and sense the changes in his actions and speech. This also informed me that the atmosphere had truly changed because the two of them began to hide from me, avoiding me at all times.
I noticed Janice's unwillingness to speak to me. It pained her to say good morning, and other than a moment of attempting to check my temperament, there was no conversation. I know all this because my perception skills are top-notch. It's simple to criticize someone behind their backs, but when people discover the truth for themselves, the liar will eventually face questions about their motivations.
I know this has happened; that's why witchcraft was enacted. She consumed him with her fake attention and love. That's why I personally feel that narcissism is far more dangerous than any other demonic attack. Various forms of attacks have targeted me, yet narcissistic behavior inflicts multiple levels of damage, some of which are challenging to overcome.
Having been where Otis is, I have a sensitivity to his circumstances, but ultimately, it's in God's hands. Sometimes, when I try to give him signals about what's happening to him, he will ignore it as a possibility. This was another way I could see the effects of narcissism or witchcraft. You're in a state of denial, accepting the words of the person you've grown to trust and love. I did exactly the same things when I was with him.
As I stated a moment ago, it's in God's hands now. Only he can repair the damage done.
God's Plan and Exposure
The great thing about where we're in the world today is that God is exposing the truths of what's been happening in the dark. This situation is no different. Fearing the exposure of the truth, Janice hovers over Otis, unaware that it's already out. She doesn't know it yet.
In God's timing, he will make all things happen in the dark in public. I don't know what's going to happen with Otis, but I do know that Janice is in for divine righteous anger. The things she did will not go unpunished. I'm by no means saying Otis is innocent; we all will have to answer for our actions. My point is that narcissism can mess you up so badly that you end up completely broken.
Final Thoughts and Encouragement
These words are to help you see the world for what it is today. The Bible tells us to stay away from these types of people. You must first be able to identify them. I encourage you to go over the scriptures concerning these types of people. These types of people have repeatedly broken me, but I'm here because God has bigger plans for my life.
On my own, I found myself completely submissive. Since my eyes have opened and I know the weapons to defeat them, they cannot ever touch me again. May this be your revelation of your awakening. May you have the grace to receive and operate in this truth.
Surely, goodness and mercy will follow me all my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (Psalms 23:6)
"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all." 2 Corinthians 13:14
